[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?

It's no problem, I understand. We all went through the same thing when we first got here. I ended up in a frozen cave full of monsters!

What?! That's awful!

I know! [She never tires of telling this story.] I was all on my own with no idea where I was, no GFs, no healing magic, and freezing to death! But it turned out okay, since Squall rescued me.

You haven't mentioned monsters, so I guess your place isn't that bad. Where are you?

[She's talking to a dream, but oh why not. By now she's talked to a son who doesn't know who she is, an adult who claims to be Ellone, and other people who have this batty notion that Laguna's a president.]

These... moogles... tell me it's Evil Forest, but I haven't figured out if it's the name or a description. I'm sitting next to the wet stump they pulled me out of.

I don't like the sound of that! Are you sure you're safe there?

[There's a pause as she fiddles with her phone.]

Evil Forest... It's right next to Alexandria. Hey, did Laguna say he was gonna collect you? Or Squall? He could fly off right now...

[The name of the forest feels pretty inconsequential compared to starting out the day in labor and waking up in a tree stump with her newborn nowhere to be found.]

Squall... [She's testing out that name, since everyone says that's her son's name, but she hadn't picked a name yet. That and the young man who was using it earlier certainly sounded a touch too surly for her tastes.] ...doesn't know who I am.

Laguna said he's coming.

[But it's Laguna and he's not known for either his timeliness or his adeptness in managing a map.]

[voice]

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Laguna... Yeah, Laguna can take care of you. I think you'll have to give Squall some time. It's just as weird for him as it is for you.

[She doesn't get it, but at the same time, that explanation makes sense. Only not. If she's his mother, and she's not convinced, then he should know who she is.]

I hope it's soon. I've missed him so much...

[voice]

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

He's missed you too.
