[voice]

[The voice on the network sounds very much like a moogle, not a person. There's some strange sounds, similar to what you'd expect to hear from a forest.]

We've got someone down, kupo! Looks like a Sky Person. She landed in the spring.

[A soft, tired, female voice breaks in behind the moogle's message.] Laguna? Please?

Laguna? You know Laguna?

Hey! Hey! Who are you?

[Quite some time later. Like by a couple of hours, a response finally comes in. She's still quiet, however.]

Yes, I know him. He's my husband.

Husband? I didn't even know he was married

Do you know where you are? We'll come get you.

These... moogles? They say it's Evil Forest. I'm not sure if it's a name or a description.

Evil Forest? [Scans his phone for a second]

Okay I think I got it, I'll see if we can get someone there.

Everything is gonna be okay.

Wait. How do you know him?

[Slightly stupid question. Somehow Laguna knows everyone. And if he doesn't, he remedies that in the matter of minutes. Not the point.]

Heh, let's just say you, me and Laguna are from the same world.

I'm Irvine Kinneas, SeeD. Your...husband and I know each other through many meetings.

[Really doesn't want to get into the whole, "YEA I WAS INSIDE SOME OF HIS FRIENDS MINDS!" deal]

['Same world?' she's mouthing. Very much wondering what is with these people and these crazy stories of theirs.]

Oh, I see. I suppose he has traveled quite a bit.

[Seed? Is this guy a gardener?]

Yea, I guess that's one way to put it.

...

[Realizing something now]

Oh jeez! I forgot, are you alright!? I mean you're not hurt or anything are you?!

I'm not hurt. But I can't find them...

Them?

My children.

Your children?

[Oh this will be bad to tell a mother]

Um, well there's a chance they're not here, they might still be in our world. Which might be the best thing, since Gaia is not exactly a place for kids.

[Again with this Gaia. Raine's thinking she'd like a word with whoever's been tending bar for all these people and give them a piece of her mind for not cutting them off sooner.]

Laguna says they are, but...

[But crazy people are telling her stuff that makes no sense, including the kids.]

They are?

[Moment of pause]

Oh jeez, don't worry I'm sure me and my friends will help find your kids. What are their names?

My daughter's name is Ellone. She's four with brown hair and eyes. And the baby, my son...

[Well this is just awkward. She hasn't named him, but other people are giving her a name and she'd really just like her kids back and her village, thank you very much.]

...he's new. I haven't named him yet. But he's perfect.

Ellone?

[Wait she couldn't mean...]

I know of an Ellone, but she isn't four...she's older like a young adult older.

[More confusion] Your Ellone never called Laguna...Uncle did she?

All the time.

Then I think we're talking about the same Ellone then.

[A sigh, he's confused] If your baby was a baby when you remember, chances are he's probably older and

[Sounds of aggravation] This world is screwy, sorry, I don't know how to explain this right without you thinking I've gone insane but...I think you are in a different time period than your child.

[Now he's gonna wait for the most obvious response]

...

[She's been getting that story other places too, but she still doesn't believe it. It does sound crazy.]

...I know, it sounds completely screwy and insane.

I said it and I can't believe it.

I'm sorry.

Don't be, I had similar reactions to this place when I got here too.

It's only natural.
