Sixteenth Firefly - [Voice/Action]
[Ever since the last experiment ended, it's made Seto come to realize a lot… a lot about how much has changed in his life in the two and a half years he’s been in Luceti. How much he’s changed.
When the experiment started… Seto woke up almost in the same condition he was when he first arrived in Luceti, though a little worse off in some ways. He was fifteen again—two years younger than he is now. He was thin, his muscles weaker and his body wasn't in that great of shape along with his health because of the lack of proper nutrition all his life.
What was different though... what was different was that when he woke up, he believed himself to be all alone in the world. The only person he had ever known in his life died and he just finished burying him in the front yard. He didn't know of the survivors his grandfather spoke about in his letter yet, he hadn't read that his Grandfather told him thank you for the first time in his life, he hadn't seen the silver haired girl or met PF, Crow, Chiyo or Sai. The happy and sad memories he created with them... he didn't get to experience yet.
He was... truly all alone in the world at that moment.
That's why when he stepped outside that day, when he saw all of the people here, even the ones he thought of as his family and friends before... he was scared of them. Seeing them threw him into a panic because he wasn't ready to see them, his mind wasn't ready to see them. Not how after the condition of his world left him...
Now here he is today, a seventeen year old boy. He’s stronger and taller than he was back then, even his hair is longer. He lives a healthy life, able to eat meats, vegetables, fruits and desserts whenever he wants. Every day he trains with a sword given to him by a friend who left a long time ago with the techniques Terra and Jin both taught him.
He has a family; Firo, his older brother (though he acts like more of a mother), Tsuzuki, someone he still sees as his father with the lingering feelings from the experiment months ago, Crow, his best friend, a more special case in the sense of family--he isn't quite a brother but he is most definitely family in a unique way.... then there was Mia who was like an older sister to him and Emil, histwin older brother... hell, anyone he's become friends with is like his family. Even those who have left are still his family, like Ange.
He doesn’t take what he has here for granted, he cherishes it. He cherishes the things he’s never had. A family, warm and fresh food, good health, a warm place to sleep, good clothes to wear that fit him as he grows… Though as much as it scares him to think about, he has to wonder... when he's seventeen in his world, what will he be like then? Will he even still be alive?
It's late when he opens his journal to voice his thoughts]
You know… it’s really amazing, how much we can change in just a few years. I knew that a lot of things had changed in my life since I've been here but... during the last experiment I guess I just... was reminded of how different things were for me back then... [Not that Seto forgot how his life was back home. He could never forget. It's just fresh in his mind again
There's a beat]
Sorry, I'm just thinking out loud. Anyways, does anyone want to come outside and look at the stars with me? I know it’s getting colder outside but I have blankets and hot cocoa to stay warm. I'll be outside house forty-eight if anyone wants to come by. [And true to his word, Seto will be outside his house, looking through a telescope in his front yard.]

Action/Mother hen reporting for duty
When Seto's done speaking, Firo walks out to join him, carrying a winter hat.]
Hey, you gonna be warm enough out here?
Action his tl;dr summoned the mother hen
Yeah, I think I'll be warm enough! This jacket's been keeping me warm. [Since he's been out here almost every night he'd know. But hey if he got cold he could just make a fire]
Action It did indeed!
If you're sure.
[He pats Seto's shoulder and stares up at the sky.]
See anything neat yet?
Action
Kinda! When I was setting up the telescope I got to see a really pretty group of stars. I think the telescope is still aimed in the same spot if you want to look. [He gestures to it.]
Action
[He leans down to put his eye to the telescope, moving very slowly and carefully so as not to jostle it. He's probably being so careful as to look silly, but he doesn't want to mess up Seto's telescope.]
Wow...
[In his excitement forgetting that Seto can't see what he's seeing, Firo exclaims:]
I think I see it! Is that it?

She's still sort of marveling at them as she wanders by, but when she notices the telescope, she has to stop and stare. Oh wow. Oh wow, so cool...]
no subject
When Ellie stops to stare at the telescope, Seto is cleaning off the lens one last time to make sure that nothing will disrupt his view. Once he finishes he goes to grab the book that's lying on the ground next to it and spots the other just standing there looking his way. He doesn't know her but he offers a bright smile and a wave. Always a good time to make new friends] Hello!
no subject
Hey. Sorry for staring like that. Your gear kinda made me space out.
[h e h puns.]
no subject
It's okay, I don't mind! [He beams] You can come over and look at it if you want. [Instead of standing over there]
no subject
[She's already walking over, so too bad if he does. She's genuinely intrigued.]
Is that a telescope? I've never seen one in real life before.

See anything cool yet?
no subject
I have! I found a group of stars that look really amazing and bright up close. Want to see? [He moves away from the telescope in case he wants a peek]
no subject
...You're right, those are some pretty shiny stars up there. [He squints--he's still kind of getting the hang of using this thing, unlike Seto who has certainly had more practice.] They look kinda close to here, don't they?
[But that's the telescope that makes them seem a little closer than they actually are, right?]
no subject
But he takes Crow's arm and pulls him back from the telescope and points up to where it's pointed.] See? They're really far away. The telescope just makes them seem closer.
no subject
Crow makes a slight noise of objection at being pulled away from the telescope, but otherwise doesn't complain too much as Seto points out the stars to him.] ...Oh, I see. [...] Too bad they're not closer though--can you imagine how cool it would be if you could get your hands on one of those shiny stars?
[Crow how many times does somebody have to tell you that it's impossible to actually own a star, let alone touching one...]

[By the time Emil should get there, Seto will be just gazing out of his telescope, looking at the sky]
[Action]
There you are! I almost didn't see you at first.
[Then, looking at the telescope:]
Is that a telescope?
