[Long, delicate fingers play over the edge of the little communicating device. Michiru tilts her head at it rather curiously. Interesting thing. So if what the little white... critters have told her is true, Michiru is more than a bit stuck here. This fact is a bit dismaying, but there's no sign of this on her face as she turns on her communicator. Instead, her expression is mostly serene, not quite a smile but pleasant enough.] I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to answer a few questions for me. It's very important that I find these things out.

[A pause, as she takes a moment to put her words together.] All this talk about darkness and worlds being lost is a lot to take in. But, if someone could tell me if they've seen a few people. I can offer names and descriptions, of course.

[And now she does smile, though it's a soft, almost sad sort of expression.] If anyone were to escape that darkness, I'm sure that it would be them.

[Really, Usagi was light in and of herself, wasn't she? And her friends had always been drawn along with that light. And Hotaru and Setsuna. Haruka... Well, was she being optimistic? For a moment at least, it couldn't hurt?]

I'm glad too. It's good to see you here and well.

A ride? Ah, I think I'd appreciate that, Hotaru-chan. I'm not even sure how to begin using one of those ships.

It's pretty easy. They run on smiles!

[As silly as that sounds. ]

Is that actually true? [Really? Smiles?] Well, that sounds fairly nice actually.

Hotaru, you mentioned Setsuna. Who else is here?

[She will just be heading for the gummi ship dock as she speaks. ]

Minako, Makoto, Naru, Rei, and Usagi-chan are all here.

[And Setsuna of course but she already knows that. ]

Oh! So many of us. [Michiru manages to keep smiling, even if there's a rather sharp pang of disappointment that Haruka's name isn't part of that list. But Hotaru is here, and that does help. And of course it's good that Usagi and so many of the others are safe too.]

That's for the best though. From what the little moogle said, things can get a bit challenging here.

[It is sad for her too that not everyone is here, but they have been luckier than most. ]

It can be. I think... Ami just disappeared because of what happened here. The heartless can be very good at convincing you that everything is pointless.

I see. But Ami is smarter and braver than that. Even if she loses her way for a while...

[She smiles and leans in a little closer to the communicator.] Will you make me a deal, Hotaru? If I start to be convinced of that, can you remind me of what things really mean? And I'll be sure to do the same for you.

[That sounds like a perfect deal to her! She doesn't want to loose anyone else to the darkness if she can help it.]

It's a deal!

[And the idea cheers her up again too. Michiru always knows the right thing to say. ]

Oh, I'm at the gummi ship dock in Traverse Town now. Do you think you can find your way there?

Good! [Michiru's smile softens a little.]

Hmm! I think I can, yes. I'll head that way now. [And good as her word, she's on her way.]
