Sounds like a pretty serious piece of fruit. What's it called?

[ Emma is sure this wasn't meant for her, but she still finds it interesting.]

[guidetoblivion]

[Riku has had a couple of misfires today already, so he only sighs when he notices the different user name in the answer. Oh well, he might as well talk with the bird person about it too.]

We call them paopu, they are yellow, star-shaped fruits that grow on one of the Islands. I've been thinking of asking the Natha if they could get one somehow, for a friend's wedding.

[sheriffing]

Yellow and star-shaped? That's kind of perfect.

Were they common, where you're from?

[guidetoblivion]

There are a couple of trees, but they are slow growing, so taking one that hasn't fallen off the tree is said to be bad luck.

[It's not exactly forbidden, but it's definitely frowned upon on the Islands.]

Sometimes people make sea shell charms shaped like the paopu though, for good luck and protection. A friend of mine was working on one, last I knew.

[Though well, that had been before they had left the Islands… so by now, Kairi has probably finished it.]

[sheriffing]

Makes sense, otherwise everyone would do it.

Everyone could use a little luck here.
That's pretty cool.

[guidetoblivion]

Here and everywhere else too.

[A little luck is never out of place after all.]

She isn't awake, unfortunately.

[Though Riku hopes that she'll either wake… or that they'll figure out a way to defeat the Storm before she does.]

[sheriffing]

That's true, guess it's just needed all around.

I'm sorry. Maybe eventually, though. People do keep waking up.

[ just never anyone she knows, unfortunately.]

[guidetoblivion]

Yea, I know. My other best friend woke up with the last wave of newcomers.

Has any of your friends woken yet?

[sheriffing]

Apparently of mine came out of it before I did, and went back into stasis before I woke up.

Aside from that, it's still just me.

[guidetoblivion]

That sounds tough. I hope that some of your friends wake soon.

[sheriffing]

Thanks. I've met good people here, though. Kinda restores my faith after everything, you know?

[guidetoblivion]

Yea, I know what you mean.

Do you live in Wyver or Olympia?

[sheriffing]

I live in Olympia, but I have some friends in Wyver, too. How about you?

[guidetoblivion]

For me, it's the other way around. I live in Wyver, but I know a couple of people that went back to Olympia.

[sheriffing]

Do you come back to see them? I keep meaning to go to Wyver and then something crazy happens before I get around to it.
