[A young woman is seen staring into the skyphone, as if trying to decipher all its functions. After a moment, a moogle can be heard speaking to her, and she looks away.] Um, kupo... if you understand everything, kupo, could you do me a favour?

What troubles you?

T-The Zombies, kupo... you Sky People arrive in the most horrible of places! I had to make my way here, kupo, but getting out again... and they seem to avoid you...

Do not worry, moogle. It is of no hindrance to me. I do not wish to tarry long in this place. I shall help you to leave as my thanks.

[There's a distinct 'kupo!' of joy from the moogle, as it trundles off ahead of the woman, who returns to looking at the sky phone.]

It does trouble me that I am here. If this is how to communicate with others- has anyone heard of Clan Gully? If any of its members are here, I would wish to speak with them.

[Frimelda looks around, and- yes, she can see her!]

Likewise. [there's a soft smile in her voice, as she sets off at a hasty run over.] That's an impressive airship...

It belonged to a friend of mine. You could call it his inheritance. It just showed up.

[There's a warm smile on Penelo's face.]

It's so good to see you. It's been almost a year for me. Do you need anything?

So long... [but she trails off at the latter, before shaking her head, followed by her stomach grumbling. she laughs.] I would decline, but it appears my stomach has ideas of its own. It has been a while since I last ate.

Well you're in luck. My cafe is still inside the airship.

[Penelo will lead the way back to the craft.]

Has anyone explained much of Gaia to you yet? It takes a little getting used to.

You have my thanks.

[she nods.] The moogle explained a little. Practical information, I would imagine... how to find certain things and use the functions on the skyphone. But not much else.

[Once they get to the airship, Penelo goes to the old cafe and rummages the cabinets for some light snack while she whips some something a little more substantial.]

We know more now than we did when I first arrived. There's a man called Garland and he's trying to remove everyone from this world to make room for his own people. I don't quite understand how it works but something's gone wrong and it's bringing in Sky People, that's us, and other places too, in exchange for locals.

So far no one's been able to stop him or undo what he's done.

[Frimelda listens, staring at a spot on the wall opposite until she nods, showing she understands.]

Thus, the worlds begin to collide.

Even with Luso's said experiences, and you would think you would not be surprised by such a thing... it seems not to be so when it happens to you.

I know at first I thought we'd gotten whisked away by one of those strange crystals Luso and Vaan kept wanting to touch.

It's strange. I was... here before. For a year. And then I guess I went home, but I didn't remember a thing. Not until I came back here last year.

[She sighs and starts to stir what she's got going in the pan.]

My life feels so disjointed. But... I've had chances I wouldn't have had otherwise. People who died years ago have shown up.

Memory less... or, perhaps not. Perhaps, it just did not happen for you. If whichever brings us here is able to pull us here, it... would warrant the idea of being pulled from different times, too.

[but she shakes her head.]

At least, being able to see those who you thought were gone... is one sanction, one blessing of being here I can think of.

[until they disappear, of course. she's figured that much from what penelo has said about her being here before. but she's not going to mention that.]

It is. So are the friends I've made. I'll have to introduce you to them.

[She holds out a plate of sauteed veggies in a nice creamy-buttery sauce to Frimelda, complete with a hunk of bread to catch all the juices.]

You're right about the times being different though. Ashe arrived right before her coronation and Fran after we'd confronted Feolthanos. One time Vaan was here, he knew about that, and when he returned, he'd never know it. Another time, he knew everyone in Clan Gully.

I would very much like to meet them.

[she thanks her and smiles, before slowly tucking in to the food before her, face in thought at the latter part. she's heard the stories, and that's such a large span of time... years. years never lived, or years that were.]

Such varience is troubling... though, then, I would suppose there is not much to do but make do with it.
