[the video feed clicks on with the sound of a moogle mid-sentence, a sky covered with pyreflies only being visible at this moment in time.] - you understand all that, kupo?

Yes. Thank you.

[there's a soft crunching sound as the moogle totters off, mumbling something about the recipient of the sky phone being a fast learner. after a couple of seconds of silence, the holder of the phone moves a few paces, the sky being replaced by the ruins of Zanarkand behind her, before holding it up so she is finally being recorded.]

It feels like I've been asleep for a long time.

[it takes Serah a few seconds to build up the strength to ask. this is her one shot.] .... Snow? Lightning? Are you there?

[Excuse Mikoto being morbid for a second.]

...I saw you die.

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

... Die?

[video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

But I... [her hand unconsciouslly goes to her arm.] ... it's over, and-

[pause.] ... have I met you before?

[voice]

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

[Hey, she kinda recognizes that voice.]

Did you just arrive?

[voice]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

I think so. The... Moogles? They explained that to me, and gave me this phone.

[Wait, Tifa's seen this girl before. Her asking after Lightning confirms it.]

...Serah?

[video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[blink. how do people know her, here?] .... Y-Yes?

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

[ There's a very, very sharp intake of breath, and a long pause, before the speaker finally lets out a strangled, almost disbelieving version of Serah's name. ] S-Serah...!!

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

L... Lightning?

[Eiko peers at the phone curiously.]

You know Lightning?

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[Serah nods.] Lightning's my sister.

[For a moment, he's just staring slightly. There's a face he hadn't seen in a while... and that he hadn't quite expected to see.]

Serah?

[video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[blinks. she hadn't quite expected so many people to recognise her, despite what ellone said. and she can't help but look and feel incredibly guilty.]

That's me.

... I'm sorry. I don't know who you are.

[video]

[arrogant-flirt.livejournal.com]

Then it's about time you woke up.

[video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

I feel awake now. Just a bit drowsy... distant. Not entirely myself.

[video]

[animus-concisus.livejournal.com]

Ah, Serah. Welcome back.

[video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I.... [she frowns, feelin guilty once again.] I don't remember being here before. Or anyone here, for that matter.

[This is one very annoyed Genome staring down Serah. No fair when her kills resurrect. It's totally cheating at this Angel of Death game.]

You've got some nerve being alive again.

[Video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[Frowns. What-?] Nerve?

[Video]

[smallmage.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes are about the size of saucers there - she saw...]

...Serah? Is that... you?

[Video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

That's me. [pauses. this guilt still isn't getting any easier.] But I... I-I'm sorry. I don't recognise anyone here... or remember being here before.

[Video]

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

[Unlike just about everyone else, Tidus doesn't remark on Serah's being there before, even though they shared a couple conversations - his eyes are on her surroundings.]

...Zanarkand, huh.

[Video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[Serah nods.] That's what the moogles called it.

... do you know it?

[Video]

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

Serah! You're alive!

[Video]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[she smiles somewhat sheepishly.] ... though, I don't remember dying. Or being here before. I'm sorry...
