001 ♦ accidental video

[packedapunch]

[The recording begins with a voice, sounding a little far off - almost tinny.]

See? Just a little pushing is what he--

[And then comes the sound of an unceremonious 'thump!' as something collides with the ground. The journal flips open at this point, and shows a young voluptuous dark-haired woman regaining her bearings as she blinks in

[Hello Tifa, have a perky blond girl running your way just in time to hear you, and she'll be stopping. Jenny certainly knows a newcomer when she sees them.]

Well, hello. Need a hand?

[Action]

[packedapunch]

[Finally, not a disembodied voice! An actual person! Tifa... frowns a little.]

...that'd probably be a good idea. [Except - you're not somebody she recognises.] ...Where is this?

[Action]

[mydadsthedoctor]

[Good thing Jenny spends most of her time running around Luceti.]

You're in Luceti. Long story short, you've been taken from your world by the Malnosso for experimentation, and there's no way back as far as we know. I can show you where to find the guide if you like. It's quite detailed.

[Action]

[packedapunch]

[.........

Well. That's not something you hear everyday.

Hallucination? Most probably. Tifa takes a looong pause.]

Who are the Malnosso? And what would they want with us?

[Action] ffffff LJ is being fail for me right now. DDX

[mydadsthedoctor]

They're scientists, and nobody really knows what they really want with us other then wanting to use us for their experiments.

Hang on, let me show you the guide. Do you have your journal on you? You should have had one with you when you showed up here.

[Action] me too! good thing i'm not the only one >:

[packedapunch]

[...Tifa looks at the book lying a few metres away from them.]

You mean that thing? [Still trying to process the 'scientists' part. Not the mention the 'different world' part, too.]

[Action] Same. I'm glad to not be the only one.

[mydadsthedoctor]

Yeah, that's it.

[Jenny pulls out her journal, and pulls up the guide before showing it to Tifa.]

You should be able to pull this up on your journal. It's guide for this place. It explains everything.

[Action] /kicks lj 8(

[packedapunch]

[...Tifa skims through the guide, really, because... you know, it's a lot to take in at once. But she does manage to process the gist of it. And... it doesn't make much sense, but she'll try to understand it.]

...so. We really are in a different world?

[Action] /helps D:

[mydadsthedoctor]

[Jenny nods.]

Different world, different dimension, whatever you'd like to call it. Either way, you're not anywhere near your home anymore, but we'll all figure out how to return eventually, I'm sure. It's only a matter of time.

[And then Jenny puts on a bright smile.]

So, what's your name?

[Action]

[packedapunch]

[...kind of an inopportune time to go dimension-hopping, really.]

It might've seemed a little less bizarre if I hadn't come here mid-sentence.

[She shakes her head, deciding to... uh, put all the confusing stuff out of her mind for a little bit.]

I'm Tifa. Tifa Lockhart.

[Action]

[mydadsthedoctor]

Tifa?

[Tifa...Tifa...where had she heard that name before? Oh wait!]

Hey, do you know a guy named Cloud by any chance?

[Action]

[packedapunch]

[She starts a little at this. Because. You know. Cloud.]

Yeah, I do. Quite well. Is... he here?

[Action]

[mydadsthedoctor]

Yeah, he is. He's around here somewhere. I haven't seen him today. Actually, I don't think I've seen or spoken to him for quite awhile, but I know he's still here. I really should chat with him a bit more.

[Action]

[packedapunch]

...well, sometimes it's hard to keep track of Cloud. [And she knows that one from personal experience.]

[Action]

[mydadsthedoctor]

Oh, well this place is fairly small, so it's not really that difficult to keep track of people. I'm pretty sure it's just because I've been busy lately. But I'm sure I'll run into him with the holiday coming up an all. Besides, I'll have to so I can give him his present.

[She puts on a bright smile again. Jenny had been spending a lot of time working on gifts for everyone this holiday, and she was quite proud of how they were all turning out. Not to mention, she couldn't wait until Christmas.]

[Action]

[packedapunch]

What... do people do here, exactly? Is it like a normal town?

[...well. She's in a different dimension. There could always be unknown factors, after all. And then she catches on to the 'holiday' part.]

Oh, what holiday's coming up?
