[The feed is showing Lea's back for a few minutes here, where he's sitting out on the roof of the Goldenrod department store. It's hard to tell what he's doing for a few minutes, until a bar of ice cream can be seen sticking out of his mouth when he turns his head. Quirking a smile at the cameramon of the evening, he pulls the treat out and motions for the pokemon to come closer.]

C'mere, Isa.

[Making a little flare, the fire type sets the gear down on the roof, showing up at the ledge, before hopping up there herself and seating next to her trainer. It almost seems like he's not going to do anything about the gear recording and just let it time out quietly, but after a few minutes of silence, he speaks out loud.]

So, anyone listening? Do you know why sunsets are mostly red?

[heartdive]

[ wow. don't you look familiar. ]

Why are sunsets mostly red?

[friendyousohard]

[Uh oh, Lea. You just mentioned two of Twilight's favorite things. The sun, and science.]

Because of the way light travels. The visual spectrum of light is split up into several colors, which you can see when a rainbow's formed or you use a prism. Of those colors, red is the one with the longest wavelength, so it lasts the longest as the sun sinks over the horizon.

At least, that's the simplest explanation.

[frisbees]

[Don't you look a little familiar too -- jk. The eyes are familiar but he can't really place why.]

Red is the color that goes the furthest, out of all the colors when you refract light. It's about the only thing I remember from school.

[frisbees]

Bingo! I usually just say "because red travels the furthest of all the colors", because most people understand it better. [She gets a big smile for the answer though.]

[heartdive]

Then you remember more from school than I do.

[friendyousohard]

[She looks just a bit embarrassed at realizing that her "simple" explanation... wasn't, really. She manages to laugh at herself though.]

Oh, yeah that would be a simpler way to say it, wouldn't it?

[frisbees]

I had a reason to remember it, is all. [Gestures up at his hair.]

[frisbees]

[Laughing lightly.] Don't worry about it, it just helps me remember all the right terminology.

[friendyousohard]

Well that way of speaking just comes naturally to me, really. I tend to use the most scientific word imaginable just out of habit, and sometimes the result is that everyone around me just looks at me like I was speaking Zebra.

[frisbees]

So you're kind of a scientist at heart? [Snickers.] Zebra, huh? Maybe a Blitzle could understand and translate for you.

[heartdive]

Kinda reminds me of another guy I met before.

[friendyousohard]

Absolutely! [Her eyes are practically shining at the thought.] I love finding out new things, cataloguing my findings, reading about what others have discovered... there's nothing better in the world! And that includes the Pokemon here. I could spend days just studying one of my friends here.

[frisbees]

Someone copied my hairstyle? No way.

[heartdive]

Axel's is longer so I guess it's not really copying?

[frisbees]

Studying one of your Pokemon? [Clarifying vs a friend as in another trainer around here.] You really do sound like a scientist then with all that.. I mean, I know a few, and they talk the same way and get all excited about things like that.

[frisbees]

I feel like I've heard that name before. Is his hair this color too?

[heartdive]

Mmhmm.

[ actually... you look a LOT like him... ]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

It doesn't matter why they're red. All that matters is that they look nice.

action.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas isn't quite sure why he's doing this. He knows it's going to cause a bunch of memories and probably an emotional pileup, but he figures he might as well.]

It's because of the light waves. Red goes the furthest.

[eagletalons]

[Oh! He remembers this from high school and college.]

If the sun you know or the one here are anything like the one in my world, it's because the sun is at a lower angle when setting, and the space in which electromagnetic waves travel is increased. It's red because this is the color that has the longest wavelength, as opposed to blue which has a shorter wavelength-- which is why the sky is blue during the day.

[machinamonkey]

[Rikku, after a few small delays, finally got to Goldenrod. She saw Lea's post, and she goes to find him]

Because they're pretty that way?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

Dunno, probably something scientific 'bout light and shit?

[... He's never been in school of any kind, so it's probably some sort of miracle he knows that much.]

Whatever makes it look that way, 's really pretty.

[Audio]

[avianweapon]

Probably because the sun's yellow, and it goes the spectrum between that, orange, and red before the night begins.

[...At least, that's what Peacock thinks. Still, there's a chuckle from the other end.]

Are ya asking because you wonder? Or are ya asking a rhetorical question?

[frisbees]

... What does he look like, other than having similar hair to me? I feel like I should know the name, cause a few people have started to call me Axh- and I guess they catch themselves?

[Video]

[frisbees]

It does too matter! [Laughing though.] It's the only thing I remember from school, cause it stuck the most. [Points at his hair.]
