Do you have an estimated time that it will start?
Hm, around 6:00 EST should probably be about right unless I wake up later.

Aspen packed her bag in a rush, cramming in things she'd need when she left. Most noteably; a neatly folded map taken down from the wall in the living room, her slightly worn copy of the Book of Helix, and some sandwiches her mother had made. She was running late already, and if she didn't make it to the coast before the last fisherman left, she wouldn't be able to catch a ride off the island till the next day. Aspen wasn't a very good swimmer, and her only pokemon, Minun, wasn't exactly much help either, so a boat was the only way to get to the mainland. The young girl slung her bag over her shoulder and ran, praying they hadn't left yet.
~Aspen~
The last ship left was about to leave. "Wait!" Aspen shouted, running over to the man in uniform. When she reached him, she had to stop and catch her breath. "Wait, please. I need to get to the mainland. Is there any chance I can get on this boat?"
~Aspen~
"Honestly, anywhere would be fine. I have to end up at Alfr Town eventually, but I've never left this island before. I want to explore first, go places I've never been before," Aspen explained. She thought for a moment. "Svanhild City is closest to here, right? If you could even just take me there, I'd be so grateful for your help."
~Aspen~
Aspen moved a little to the side, making a bit more room so she wasn't in the way. She wondered if the man was from Eirville city or if he was from elsewhere, since he knew the uniformed man. Most people in the city knew each other, if only from going to church, yet she couldn't seem to pull up a name that matched even though he looked somewhat familiar, leaving her to wonder if she did actually know who he was. It seemed rude to ask, especially if it turned out she did know who he was.
(Okay! See you when you get back)
~Aspen~
After a while, Aspen decided to talk to the man. It still seemed kinda rude to ask who he was, but sitting in silence was uncomfortable and it was surely better to talk to a maybe-familiar man than a not-at-all-familiar man on the boat. "Excuse me," she said quietly, moving a little closer to the man, though hopefully not close enough to make him uncomfortable. "Um, are you from Eirville City?"
Pandora sat in her room, packing her backpack with clothes, snacks and her Pokemon things. Today was a big day. 'Today is the day I'm going to run away from home!' She paid careful attention to the transport system of the city*, so the train should be leaving in a bit, so hopefully she could hitch a ride.
[*: I'm just assuming what the transport system would be, if there is one.]
~Aspen~
"Oh." Aspen frowned. "Sorry, that was rude of me... It's just that you looked somewhat familiar, I must have seen you aroynd. Sorry."
~Aspen~
Aspen's eyes widened slightly as she realised she had seen him quite a few times before in the church. She nodded. "I go every day, if I can. Most people in the city do, actually."
