[ first there's the sound of something heavy being set into the ground.

Never seems to end, does it?

[ he sits down, muttering to himself ]

And here I thought it was finally done with.

[Terra's rather giddy when the crystal reveals her standing in the middle of a shop much like the one Jay revealed earlier. Moogles bustle about and various weapons can be seen on racks or shelves as she pans about.]There's so many moogles here ( Read more... )

[The image shows mostly the ground, but the edge of a pink skirt and parts of a hand.]

Hell--looo! Can anyone hear me?
