[Noct is mostly just hanging out when the sound comes. All at once he shoots to his feet, reaching for a sword that still won't come to hand as his head turns toward the void, eyes wide.]
[He knows that sound, can feel the phantom heat of mechanical soldiers bearing down on him, of gnashing teeth in the dark as they fought back the daemons as the nights got longer and longer.]
[Finally it stops, and he finally relaxes, chest still heaving as he slowly relaxes - and he huffs out a breath as he reaches for the ring on its chain around his neck, holding onto it for a moment before he settles back down.]
II. Disaster - the path to Hammerlocke
[Noct hasn't been up to the ruins, yet, but he's obviously heard enough about them to not be entirely surprised when it occurs to him that Shiva might have had a hand in its destruction, considering her death at the hands of Niflheim had turned a desert into an icy wasteland. It also makes him curious, and he heads for the path, intending on checking it out.]
III. Misplaced Memories - various places
[Through the day, Noct has flashes of memories of people and places he knows he's never seen before - and also that there are things he can't remember. It doesn't take him much to decide that it can't be a coincidence, and so, he sets out to track people down, to see if he can't figure out what's going on.]
[I'll post links for people in comments under this one. I'm absolutely open to more trades, though (and let me know if I've forgotten one we discussed?)! Hit me up at cotume27 or Discord at cotume27#5389.]
IV. Wildcard
[It doesn't take Noct long to realize there are new things to be seen. He spends some time snooping around in Shibumenosaki Underground Academy and being entirely baffled by the mash-up of high school and shopping mall (and mourning the lack of an arcade). He investigates the L Station.]
[Most importantly, though, he sets out to make friends with one of the weird chocobo-frog things. It's not all that hard, he finds, since once he has the attention of one of them, they don't seem that inclined to leave him alone. He can be seen feeding it long pieces of grass harvested from the riverbanks and being followed around town.]
