[Oh look, it's the loud boy from yesterday... only this time he's wearing a (slightly) embarrassed grin and waving at the video pickup.]

Hello! I'm Gon Freecss! It's nice to meet you!

[--and bowing, deeply, for a second before he bounces back to vertical.] I'm really sorry I yelled at everybody yesterday! [And really glad everybody but Killua just heard him over the phone, so he didn't hurt anyone, because that would have been really bad...]

I understand about this place now, so don't worry. But I wanted to ask if anybody could tell me more. About the animals here, or the Animus, or anything!

Thank you very much.

[BOW.

Oh boy he hopes that makes up for it. He doesn't even know who that girl was who sounded really scared.... quickly, he grins at the video pickup, and cuts the feed.]

Maybe sometime, when things are quiet, we can try to find one and see if you can understand it.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

It's a deal.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Can you teach other people to do it, too? To understand animal talk?

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

I've never really tried to teach anybody...

It's mostly just about listening really carefully! I could try if you want.

[But if he taught her she could talk to the unicorn sort of and maybe even tell it she'd like to ride it sometime and that would be pretty amazing because even Pegasus wasn't like a unicorn (and it's kind of weird to think about riding on Helios' back now anyway).]

I'm sure I can understand if I try.

[She can't. She doesn't have the patience of listening.]

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Maybe!

[He grins.] I bet if you try really hard you can do it too.

[That's just what she said! And she gives a small laugh at the similar thinking.]

Maybe we should try it soon before the Animus do something new.

[That suggestion gets a more serious face out of him, though not -- quite -- a frown.]

Do you know when they're going to do something next?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Well, nothing seems strange right now, and they just did things last week, so... it should be next week.

[It took the Animus to teach her to keep a schedule. Sob.]

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

[Well, some people need more of a push than others... Gon nods.]

Okay! Is there any way to figure out what it's gonna be?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

They tell us about it sometimes... but they talk in riddles, and it's right before they do it so there isn't really time.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Oh... I'm not good at riddles.

[What is this. No faaaair.] Why can't they just tell us if they're going to hint?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[She agrees so very deeply.]

I wish they would. It'd be a lot easier to figure things out. [And if the animus say they're trapped here, too, you'd think they'd want to work for a solution.]

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and if they're not giving us enough time to do anything about it anyway, what's the point of riddles? Everybody will figure it out when it starts!

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Exactly, exactly!

But that just means we're learning about them by different ways. We'll still figure things out and find a way.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And it sounds like everybody's working hard already.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

There's no room for slacking off here.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

When something's important, there never is! But it's great that everyone's working together.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I think so, too. If everyone's hearts come together for the same dream, there's a lot that can be accomplished.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

And it sounds like there are a lot of really smart people working on it, too!

[Grins] I bet we'll be back home in no time.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

[Gon. Not the best words to people who've been here for a year and a half already.]

Mm... Right. [But it's a bit too quiet, despite the smile.]

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

...Even if it takes a while, we're not missing anything, right?

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

That's true. When we manage to go back, it's to the same time. Or no time passes. Something like that.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

We don't age here either, Killua said...

So I guess it's more like time isn't really passing.

[Video]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

That's true, but we still like to think about our birthdays. I guess we see ourselves as getting older anyway.
