Hana had been doing this since the early hours of the morning. Well, it might have been morning. His internal clock was still all screwy from this ships' sense of time so it would be more accurate to say that he'd been doing this since he'd woken up.

Details aside, he wandered up and down the many halls of the ship (effectively getting himself pretty lost but he didn't mind), a determined look on his face and a purpose in his stride. Sure, he eventually had to stop for some food because he was never in a good mood when he was hungry, but after that he immediately set about on his mission once again.

His mission was that he would traverse as much of the ship as he possibly could, as many times as he could, periodically placing a hand near his mouth to amplify his voice and calling out to the many inhabitants of the ship.

"HEY! ARE THERE ANY OTHER TEENS OR KIDS HERE!? I'M LOOKING FOR ANY OF THE OTHER KIDS ON THIS SHIP!"

Thankfully, Hana was nice enough to stop and talk to anyone who wanted to question his new odd pass-time, be they child or not.

There he was! Sandy had been looking for Hana for a few hours because she wanted to show him a giant ball that she'd found in the city. It was so big around she had to hold it with both arms.

The rubbery ball was a simple toy, but if anyone could help her appreciate it she assumed it would be her unflappably cheerful room mate.

Hana spotted Sandy coming and gave a cheerful wave, grinning brightly at her. "Cassandra~!" He called, chuckling.

Sandy came dashing over, a bit too fast because she tripped and fell onto the big rubber ball she was carrying. She bounced off it and took flight directly at Hana with a startled yelp!

Reacting faster than thinking, Hana put his arms out and braced himself, catching the smaller girl. He blinked a few times, looking down at her, before breaking out into laughter. "Hey!"

Sandy's cheeks turned pink and she laughed a little nervously, startled by how fast everything had happened, "H-hey there! Good catch." She praised him dropping the ball to bounce off the floor with a loud hollow noise. "What's up?"

Hana shrugged, putting her down. "Not much, looking for the other kids so we can make our group thing." He looked at the ball curiously. "Where'd you get that?"

"Oh um." She picked up the ball again shaking off her embarrassment and presented it to him "I found it in the city. There's all sorts of cool stuff people just left in the buildings. Unlocked doors and stuff." She seemed pretty pleased with her find.

"Cool." He grinned, staring at the toy before shouting out. "Oh! I almost forgot, I found something for you too."

Hana shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a large, crumpled piece of of paper.

Sandy peered at it curiously and set the ball down to accept it from him and uncrumple it. There was a flutter of excitement even if it looked entirely unremarkable at first glance. She'd never gotten a present from a boy before.

Apparently it had once been a poster for some semi-popular band playing in one of the now-destroyed cities all the buildings in The Big City were pulled out of.

But was obvious that wasn't the reason Hana had torn it from the wall.

The ticket prices and times, along with any promotional art and even the bands name was obscured completely by some elaborate pattern of letters melded with decorative art.

Whoever had taken it upon themselves to tag this paper had seriously gone for quality, using the small space to it's fullest. Colours flowed and swirled across the beaten and bruised flyer, each piece of the pattern complimenting the next.

The words etched onto the paper were is some strange characters neither of them could understand and it was more than likely the message had been lost to the ages.

Yet the desire to be heard and the passion behind the work still shone just as strong through the image, despite the sorry state of the paper it was branded upon.

"You said you like graffiti and art stuff, right?" Hana grinned somewhat sheepishly, peering at her face and trying to see what she thought. "I saw this and kinda thought of you, so I just took it."

"Whoa..." Sandy's eyes were wide as she drank in the colors and style. Letting it sink deep. She savored it and looked back up smiling, "This. is. so. COOL!"

Careful not to damage the poster she gave him a hug, tight and excited. "Can I hang it up in our room?"

Hana laughed and hugged her back, spinning her about. "Sure! You can do whatever you like with it. It's your gift afterall."

Sandy laughed and clung tighter as the world spun. "You're the greatest!!" She praised cheeks flushed again.

This world was getting better and better then her own every day.
