039 JOURNEYS
[Video|Japanese|LOCKED FROM MAGOICHI SAIKA, RIKU AND GENESIS RHAPSODOS]
[After a thorough ordeal, Gracia reappears in the screen as healthy looking as ever. She takes a second to fix the communicator though, and then proceeds to sit down with a smile on her face. Skin no longer yellow, eyes as bright and lively as ever...The scientists did good.]
Hello everyone. How are you all doing? It's been a long week, but I feel like a brand new person, inside and out! First of all, I want to thank all the people who helped me one way or another when I was sick. I appreciate everything you've all done for me from the bottom of my heart! I can't emphasize enough how much I owe the people here. If there's anything I can do in return for all the wonderful things you've all shown and given me, don't ever hesitate to tell me!
Second, I'm sorry if I worried any of you. I didn't know that that would happen, and...[She pauses, glances downwards, and returns her gaze back to the camera.] Something good came out of that, for me. Before I got my chip removed, I was asking myself a lot of questions. When you stay in a place like this for a long time, even through the bad things, it grows on you. And I started thinking, "What if I never return home, and this is my new home?" Then I thought, "What if I go home? What about the pals I've made here?" I didn't know where I belonged, or what I was going to do for a while. Until this happened. And then I realized! I was silly for thinking about things like that. The answer is so simple!
[She stands abruptly in a burst of energy and points at the camera.] Both Japan and Discedo are my homes!
[Quickly sitting down again, but not bothering to hide her grin and laughter, Gracia continues.] I have to live life as it goes. I can't worry about things like that, or I'll never get to experience this new world that I never would have thought to have existed. Why did I have to die to see that? Whatever comes, I'll take it in with all I've got! Whether I go home, whether I stay here--it doesn't matter. What matters is the now and how I choose to live it. Mago was right. He's always right.
[At that, Gracia's expression softens slightly.]
Lastly, I'd appreciate it if no one told Mago, Riku and Gen--Genesis--that I'm back. I'm planning something to thank them for staying by me till the end, like they'd promised, and for that, I need things to be secret! I hope they don't worry too much though...Oh, what am I thinking? It'll work!
[She cuts off the video and switches to text afterwards. But not after a proclamation of ~*~joy~*~] It's so good to be back. The snow is so beautiful. I'm glad for everything!
[Locked to Sorata Arisugawa | UNHACKABLE.]
Ari! If you're ready, I'm ready too. Let's go do it! What we planned before. It's now or never!

((OOC: Thank you for Riku-mun for this awesomesauce idea ♥ PLOTTING IT OUT IC-ly NOW ILU BB. Basically, Gracia and co. will be plotting a picnic for her, Magoichi, Riku and Genesis BUTTTT the people she filtered the text to will be leaving clues for the three that will lead to the lake. IT'S A SURPRISE BASICALLY, BOTH HER BEING BACK AND THE PICNIC 8D PLAY ALONG EVERYONE~
EDIT: sdkgnfsg change of plans. They'll know she's alive, but not where she is |D))
