[Seems Raye's recovered from her injuries. She's not relying on a crutch anymore, her complexion is healthy, and she's even slightly breathless from chasing down a litterbug and beating him over the head with her broom. That'll teach him to toss his empty soda can on the temple grounds! ...But right, business.]

Hey, everyone. My name is Raye. Some of you know me, some don't. If you're new, feel free to ask me questions about this place. I'll answer what I can, but I don't know everything, so don't get rude if I can't tell you exactly what you want to know.

[She folds her arms in warning, halfway to a frown. But then she smiles and relaxes.]

It's a little late in the season, but the temple grounds are now open to the public. I thought it'd be fun to have a cherry viewing party. Bring a blanket, a picnic lunch, and your friends. The weather should be good on Sunday, so that's when we'll have it. See you then!

[Private to Jaune]

Hey. Sorry I've been quiet for so long. I've been...a lot more irritable than usual, and I didn't want to blow up at you for something dumb. How've you been?

It's on the corner of Thistle and 8th Street. Can't miss it.

You're new, huh? I'm Raye Hino, nice to meet you.

Corner of Thistle and 8th Street got it. [She just ask around when she gets the chance to.]

I am. Just arrived not too long ago. I'm Renge Houshakuji. it's a pleasure.

[The family name doesn't ring a bell, but Raye's not surprised. They're probably from different worlds entirely.]

How long ago was that? Did you find a place to live?

I believe a day ago as when I arrived.

[And she had yet to find a place. To be honest she doesn't quit know how to because she always had the things she had since she was born.]

[Only a day, and she's really composed. Is she a princess or something? Definitely doesn't behave like a spoiled royal brat, so that's nice.]

That's not long at all. Let me know if you need help figuring this place out, I've been here for quite a while.

Define long?

[Because she wants to figure how soon she could get back home. She has things to do, games to play and other things to do.]

[Raye sees that idealism. But Raye isn't exactly known for tiptoeing around other people. It's best to be direct and honest.]

I've been here for two years. So has Harry. You might have seen his flyers posted outside the Bay.

Ah, I recall something like that. So that was from someone whose been here for two years, huh? Same with you.

[That really is a long time. She starts to sound a little bit disappointed.]

So we might be here for a long while.

[Raye smiles sympathetically. She's not heartless.]

It's not as bad as it seems. And we're here for a good reason. Try not to be too glum about it.

A god reason? What might be a good reason to tear someone away from people that they care about?

[She can't understand that at all.]

There's a whole planet that needs to be saved. And the people we know don't know we're gone. To them, we're still there.

Think of it as time stopping in your life so you can go on a really foreign vacation.

Oh. [Well that's okay, she guesses. Time stops for them but not for her. This is one weird vacation.]

Wonder how that works.

Who knows.

[Raye shrugs. Honestly, she's a little impressed at how calm Renge reacts to this. Most of the girls she knows at her old private school would have been terrified.]

I guess I'll just have to figure things out here then.

[She seems okay with that. it will be tough and somewhat annoying but she can do it.]

Thank you for explaining it to me.

Huh? Oh, you're welcome. Thank you for not panicking and making a mess.

Why would I make a mess? That would be very unlady like.

No kidding! But it happens more often than you think.

I hope then there is someone around to clean it up when someone does.
