[ There's a man standing who looks rather disoriented and out of place in the business district of Lindblum. He's leaning heavily on what appears to be a staff, and his gauntlet-ed hand is clutching a couple of gyshal pickles which he is eying oddly. He also seems to be either unaware or distinctly ignoring the smell that allowed for the large space around him. Or, that could simply be because he looks to be in pieces. He fiddles with a 'skyphone' device he'd received from the moogles. ]

[ It had been a couple of days since the moogles had found him near-dead. It was rather sad, Noah thought, that the only species he'd done nothing against were the little pompom'd people. Grateful, nonetheless, that they'd helped get him back on his feet, even if he couldn't remember everything that had happened before.]

[The video was zoomed up close on Gabranth's face face, and a small, dark-red spot was coagulating at the right-hand corner of his lip.  He seemed somewhat off, like he was hunched over, unusual in a man who'd always had perfect posture.  He'd taken a bite out of one of the pickles, and after a quick jolt for the kick, a relaxed expression flashed across his face in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment before his expression hardlined again.]

As I am to understand, I've been transported to a world known as 'Gaia'. I seem to have arrived here in Lindblum.

[ His face seemed to twitch a moment, as if the next thought that came to his head is rather revolting. It morphs into a small, self-deprecating smirk. ]

My most sincere apologizes to those among you who are disappointed. It appears that I get rather cheated out of everything, death included.

[ A drop of blood drips down from the corner of his mouth. ]

[Laguna grins broadly into the feed, always happy to pounce upon any new arrivals. He remembers just how shaken up he was when he turned up on Gaia, after all, and a few kind words can go a long way for some people.]

Lindblum's not so bad a place to turn up, the way I hear it! I woke up in Treno when I got here, that place is full of pickpockets and plenty of other troublesome folk. At any rate, welcome to Gaia.

Why thank you for the warning and the welcome. I'll make sure to keep a look out if I ever visit Treno.

Definitely. I almost lost my wallet twice while I was waiting for my wife to come pick me up!

Truly? Twice. [Noah manages to stifle his chuckle. Almost.]. That's quite an accomplishment.

Trouble kind of finds its way to me sometimes, but I swear, it was just the location that time.

Of course. What else could it possibly have been? [Noah smiles, and feels a strong gratitude towards this complete stranger whose managed to relieve him of a little bit of stress through his sill antics]

Take care, sir. Wouldn't want any other robbers to try their luck.

[That's Laguna for you, reaching out and assaulting people on the network with tales of misadventure and general goodwill!]

Thanks! You look after yourself, too, alright? If you need anything, the network is a great place to get your questions answered in a hurry!

Will do. And thank you.

[Noah almost shakes his head at this man's enthusiasm. He truly appreciates it, though.]
