[Alright. This isn't something he normally does, but everyone else has been so quiet about it that it's starting to drive him a little nuts. So in the true form of someone who can't keep their mouth shut— here's Noel.]

Okay, so. Who else stayed in town when people went out to the desert? I can't be the only one who noticed the people in town acting strange, right?

[He frowns a little, thoughtfully crossing his arms over his chest.] It was like they couldn't figure out what to do with themselves, but even when I ask them what happened, they look at me like I'm crazy. [Which he's not. Right??] Like they don't even remember it happening.

Anyone else notice anything strange happening back then? And for everyone who went out to the desert— anything strange happen with people out there? Anything see anything like that happen since you got back?

[He's about to cut it there, no introduction, no nothing, but he pauses to add:] Thanks.

Ah... right, that would be an issue if you did, huh.

[SHE KNOWS... SHE KNOWS...............]

No, they didn't work at all after they turned on a few times. A lot of it got brought back though, and I think some people are working on them? I don't have any though, I was mostly just trying to help people.

if i was by myself? yeah. big issue.

interesting. if someone can get any of it working, dyou think it'd help us figure out what happened to the people in the desert?

Hmm, maybe. I think they'd require to be charged up, or replace any batteries, but Aldrip doesn't look that technologically advanced. It's like... if you went into wherever Cocoon crashed and found all of its tech during your time.

It feels a little weird, actually.

[Not that they hadn't seen the same happening on Pulse when they hopped around, nor when the refugees from Cocoon went down to live on Pulse after everything, but... you know.]

when you put it that way, it IS weird. things usually get more advanced over time, right? not less. now i'm definitely interested to know what happened to the people who lived there. maybe they died out suddenly, or they just didn't feel like sharing.

almost makes me want to go back out there. but...not enough to ask those fairies for help with that.

[Not when they were making people float and lose their voices and stuff. He'll figure out another way.]
