noel here is from a little game called final fantasy xiii-2, something that just a few people might be playing (and hopefully enjoying) or planning to pick up in future. if one of those is you, please comment here to let me know what level of spoilers are okay-- for reference, noel is from around halfway through the game; just before leaving academia 4XX after recovering the gravitation cores.

if you'd like me to not tag you at all until you're done with the game, that's fine too! otherwise, it shouldn't be too hard to keep spoilers out of threads if you'd rather avoid them.
