2nd sketch - [action]

[sketchingideals]

[One good thing about being taken here is that Jeb hasn't run out of inspiration for art. Currently, he's found a nice place to sit and draw the surroundings around him.

Feel free to approach him, but don't be surprised if he doesn't hear you at first or jumps when he does. This is something that steals his focus very quickly.]

[Pommy takes the pad and pencil, and after a moment of thought begins scribbling.

Within a minute, it becomes clear that he's drawing the exact same thing Jeb was working on. There are a couple of wobbly spots here and there, but otherwise it's a very good copy of Jeb's work.]

[sketchingideals]

[The boy's eyes are wide in awe--he's definitely impressed.]

Wow! How did you do that?

[bemyused]

Pommy just watched what you did and did it!

What's your name, anyway? Pommy's name is Pommy.

[sketchingideals]

Just like that? Wow, that's pretty cool!

It's nice to meet you, Pommy. My name's Jeb!

[bemyused]

Nice to meet you too, Jeb! [He hands the pad and pencil back to him.] What kind of world do you come from?

[sketchingideals]

Well... it's kind of like this one, except not so closed in!

[bemyused]

Really? So Jeb lives in a village like Luceti?

[sketchingideals]

Sort of. The place I live is a bit bigger than this village! It's a really nice town, actually... but this place is nice in its own way, too!

[bemyused]

[Pommy nods.]

Pommy likes Luceti! But it's definitely not as big as Diamond City -- that place is huge!

[sketchingideals]

Diamond City? Is that where you live, Pommy?

[bemyused]

Yep! Pommy wasn't living there for too long before Pommy came to Luceti, but Pommy liked it a lot!

[sketchingideals]

What's it like?

[bemyused]

[Give Pommy a moment to think.]

Myu, well...the buildings were a lot taller, and shinier. [Skyscrapers and odd futuro-modern glass-and-metal architecture FTW!] There were a lot more people, too, and Pommy didn't see any forests nearby.

[Be thankful that this critter will never become a travel writer.]

[sketchingideals]

It sounds cool!

[Jeb likes this little fella.]

[bemyused]

[Pommy likes Jeb too!]

So how long has Jeb been in Luceti for?

[sketchingideals]

A little over a month. How about you, Pommy?

[bemyused]

[Give Pommy a moment to think about it. He's not too good with keeping track of time.]

Umm...maybe a month, too? A lot of other people were arriving in Luceti around the same time as Pommy.

[sketchingideals]

So you're kinda new, like me!

[A lot of people seem to have been here for a while... it's hard for Jeb to imagine that.]

[bemyused]

It seems like it! How long do you think we'll be stuck here for?

[sketchingideals]

Well, I'm not really sure... hopefully not too long, though!

[bemyused]

[Pommy nods vigorously]

The Malnosso took Pommy while Bomberman was out of the house catching bad guys, so Bomberman doesn't know Pommy's gone! [He pauses.] Though someone said that when you go home, you go home to the same time that the Malnosso took you, so it's like you never left. So Pommy supposes Bomberman wouldn't notice anything. We could stay here for years and no one would notice! [He sounds more intrigued by the concept as opposed to horrified.]

[sketchingideals]

Even if they wouldn't notice, I'd be really upset to be away from the people I love for that long. [Laughs weakly before asking:] Who's Bomberman?

[bemyused]

Oh, Bomberman is Pommy's friend! We met a few months ago, and then Pommy came to live with him in Diamond City.

[sketchingideals]

That's cool! It was nice of him to let you live with him.

[bemyused]

It's good, because then Pommy can keep an eye on Bomberman and make sure he doesn't get into trouble! [Though really, "getting into trouble" is kind of part of Bomberman's job description.] Did Jeb live with anyone back home?
