[Wheeled motor vehicles were actually nothing new for Hope, but it was kind of a treat to see other people's reactions. He gazed out the window as the scenery flew by. The Empire was actually a really nice place from what he could see so far, although he knew that what he saw didn't mean it was the truth. There could be a lot more beneath the surface and the week that they were here for would not really allow them the time to scratch the surface unless something big happened or something was revealed at the eventual dinner on the 25th.
Regardless, Hope keeps these thoughts to himself as he takes the ride to Parasraya.]
This place looks amazing!
[Seriously, credit where credit was due. Nonetheless, once the car ride was over, Hope made his way about the city, carefully avoiding the cats along the way. Although it likely wouldn't be long before he felt bad for a couple of them and made it a point that, when they were to go back, he may or may not have a couple smuggled in that handy dandy Pocket Space of his. But, in the meantime, Hope will be checking the city out, most notably the Archaeologist Guild and what they have to offer.
OOC: Talk to him in the car or around the city, whichever!]
Shopping
[Hope was not a big spender and it was hard to say no to the merchants when they were being so pushy! But Hope stood his ground. Last time he went out, he ended up spending nearly all that he had on potions. To be fair, they came in good use due to the flooding and puzzle quest but he nearly went hungry if not for some kind souls.
So, while he was intent on looking for some gifts to take home, he wanted them to be small, personal items. Not-]
C'mon kiddo, surely your girlfriend would like this? Don't you think?
I don't have a girlfriend and for the last time, I said no thank you. I'm just here to browse.
[The necklace was very lovely but he didn't want or need it. Comments on being such a cute kid were not helping either and even more awkward was the merchant was a lady who was very much putting on the stern mom routine. Help?
If Hope did manage to get away, he could still be found browsing. And likely keep a small distance so he didn't get caught up again and may even have a small bag of trinkets already!]
Sunny Starlight - August 24th - Locked to Gladio
[Starlight was kind of special now for Hope, even if it was still apparently in the wrong month. It was still all brand new to Hope. It was the day before the dinner, so Hope decided he wanted to at least spend it with someone specific rather than wandering around and meeting up with any familiar faces. Although, he did wake up with a bit of a headache and his throat having a weird dry feeling that water or any other drink wasn't making it go away.
Still, he was pushing past that. So far, nothing awful happened and it was hoping it stayed that way. Why not spend it with a friend?]
So, what were you up to these past few days? You guys doing okay in the house they gave you?
Wildcard
[Hope can be very likely in a lot of places, so if you have something specific not listed above, let me know or just throw in a prompt! You can also find me on Discard at Manda Panda#4962 or lineandcolor
