I. ARRIVAL
[It was nice, to have people greet him and help him to the tents where he could dry off and change into warmer clothes. Everything else is crazy. But that's nice.

He decides to focus, to get himself in order. Turns his attention instead to the bag he was told belongs to him and everything inside it. He finds his hoverboard and takes time making sure it's still in working order because who knows what interdimensional travel and sand could have done to it. He goes back to the shore, wondering and hoping just a bit that he's not alone. That someone else would have come, too--would that be better? Maybe not. But he's never said he was completely selfless.

Then he ends up finding a hand sticking up out of the wet sand at the water's edge. And there's an eyeball in its palm. Not what he was expecting. He pauses, head tilted a bit as he assessed it, his brain not quite getting the fact that limbs just want up on shore. He turns to the nearest person, calm despite how weirded out he is.]

Is that normal around this place?

[But when he sees people collecting them, he's not going to stay back.]

Need some help? More arms means more carrying.

[If it's all supposed to go to an orphanage...well, yeah, he wants to see what it looks like for himself.]


II. BOARDWALK
[He could smell the food before he saw the boardwalk itself. Hard to miss food that smells like food. So he walks up and down the strip, seeing the different treats and produce. It's bizarre something like this exists in a place like this...but that makes it feel a bit like home.]

The worst places manage to thrive somehow, huh.

[He was saying it more toward himself, but it wasn't so quiet another person wouldn't hear. One of those people might even come up and offer him food in welcome, including one of those jars of fruit. Real, edible fruit. Peaches. Wow. They weren't even half bruised. He might...have to take some of these.]


III. A FADED MEMORY
What is it about that place that has people so freaked out?

[When he sees the lighthouse, he doesn't get its significance yet. Not until he realizes that it is not the one someone else had already mentioned to him. That the Trenchies react very differently when he asks about this lighthouse. It draws his attention, his curiosity, and then a need. Something is out there and it's pulling at him.

It's not like he needs someone else to get out there, not once he's repaired his hoverboard. He can make it out there on his own. But he hasn't spent all these years fighting against corruption and things stronger than himself to think you should be heading out to a mysterious lighthouse no one wants to talk about on your own.

So does he trust someone enough to ask him to go with them, or will someone else see him debating with hoverboard in hand and make the offer themselves?]
