[Michael has had his number for weeks and he's been testing it every now and then. Watching the Network had been something of a new past time because these were the guys that saved the city. Who wouldn't want to watch them talk? He just hadn't fully come to realize that he was actually part of it yet.

But, he was in need of their help now so he put on the feed. The fourteen year old looks into the camera not sure what to say at first. But deciding it was better to ask outright than to draw things out he'd ask.]

Excuse me! You're all the heroes that saved Locke City, right? Well I was wondering if I could ask for your help since your heroes and all.

[Aheming, he continues:]

You see my name's Michael and I'm looking for a man named Karl Aurion. Do any of you know who that is?

[This fifteen year old is waving to the camera, the view of a room behind her. A girls bedroom obviously.]

I know Mr. Aurion, can I help you?

[Michael returns the smile with equal the energy and a wave of his own back.]

You do? I was just kind of hoping to talk to him for a moment if you know where he'd be.

He works at Locke City High School.. though- [She tilts her head, pursing her lips together.] um- he's on here too.

Video; I implore you to threadjack if you want

[farewellmyshadow]

[Considering this just happened for all to see (though Michael doesn't know that) the boy suddenly looked a bit more awkward.]

Oh...well I'm not sure I'll need to go there now.

threadjacking has occured

Are you okay? [She's never not known her family, they've always been in her life- finding a parent through the network though- even she can understand that can't be the best of ways.]

I'm Holly by the way! Do you want company? I promise I'm not a psycho!

excellent

[farewellmyshadow]

I'll be okay.

[The matter of when is another story. The offer for company while appreciated is a bit surprising.]

My name's Michael. But, I wouldn't want to trouble you. Thank you though, Holly.

Hello Michael! Are you sure? We don't have to do anything big- I could just bring you cookies or we could go to the mall. Unless I'm being too pushy then I'm sorry! [Her hands go up with a wave, just so he knows she's okay being told no.]

[farewellmyshadow]

[Oh god, how can he say no after that? He lets out a sheepish sounding laugh and decides, why not?]

Well, the mall would probably be the best place to meet. How about that?

[keywarding]

Sounds great! Do you like cookies? I have... a lot left over from a huge baking spree. I can bring some if you want. [She's really tried to hold off on the baking now- just so she's not surrounded by cookies and cakes.]
