[ something is recording, it's possible to tell by that faint... rustle and buzz that is present even when no actual sound is made to be recorded and just faintly there's the sound of wind and leaves rustling... But he's not saying anything. Probably unintentionally set the journal to record voice and didn't know how to turn it off.

There are things he wants to ask, he just doesn't know quite where to start. Hyoga seems to realise he's being recorded after a couple minutes of silence...there is still more silence but his gaze is at least fixed on the camera.

Why is there a camera in a book? It is one of many things he doesn't understand. Finally the recording stops and instead there's a neatly written post. ]

How many people live in that village? [ hopefully there's only one village, he was only able to find one...sense one really. Sense where most people seem to be. ]

Are any of the people here native to this place? [ it didn't look like it from what he listened to/read.

And he ends it there. There's a lot more he wants to ask but maybe it'd be better if he could get someone one on one. This is him awkwardly reaching out. ]

I haven't met anyone who says they're a native, but that doesn't mean some of them aren't, just that they're not admitting to it.

I don't think anybody actually is from here and I don't have an exact number, but with a guestimate? At least a small village size. Definitely.

[abstruse]

There's more than just a few villagers here, I would say. Two hundred people at least? Lively on some days.

Definitely a few hundred, but none of us that are inside the enclosure are natives. ...well, unless you count some of the ones who were born here because their parents were brought here.

[ Kotomi seems to be thinking, as if she's trying to figure out an exact number.. but then instead ends up with this after a pause. ]

... A lot. [ a lot of people here, that is. her voice sounds pretty blank. ]

I think there are about three hundred people now? But it's hard to tell when people keep leaving and arriving all the time.

[With Smoker gone, again, Ikki has been spending his days mostly training and focusing his Cosmo, trying to get further than the artificially imposed limit this place had. It kept him busy and in solitude. It also was a good way to become quickly aware if the man was back by sensing his Cosmo. At least this time it had been the droids kidnapping him rather than him vanishing, though given how long they kept him the first time Ikki really didn't expect him to return any time soon.

Today, however, is the day of the unexpected apparently as a familiar Cosmo, powerful and trained, suddenly appeared in Luceti. It's funny, after more than two years he had almost forgot their Cosmo signatures, it's strange to feel Hyoga around and very annoying. Out of everyone that could come it had to be Hyoga. Ikki eyes his wolf pet as he pauses in his meditation, he never considered it a problem, to name the animal the same way as Hyoga, it's not as if he expected him or any of the others to ever arrive.

Many others probably would have tackled their journals, hoping to get hold of their friend, or maybe they would have gone out in a rush, trying to find him. Ikki doesn't. He goes back to his own training and business for a good while, letting others explain things to the Cygnus Saint, it's not as if he was in danger either so there was no need to rush. He even doubted there was any need to actually go and meet him, he didn't do that back home so why should he do it here? In fact he doesn't want to meet him, he doesn't want to be faced with a fourteen years old brat, knowing how Luceti worked it was a possibility. But he also knows that Hyoga won't stop until he finds him, it's not hard to do in this place and he would do that as well if he arrived here and one of the others was around, no matter who it was, if it as a Cosmo familiar from home he would go and check on it.

So, eventually and after Hyoga has been updated about his new situation and probably has found more info about Ikki being around and sulked upon not finding a glacier where he could lay down and cry until he fell asleep, Ikki bothers with moving, leaving his apartment followed by a running arctic wolf puppy. Time to find an ice duck. At least he also bothers with expanding his own Cosmo directly to meet Hyoga's so the other can come and find him if he prefers.]
