So...

This place is very much not Cocoon. Did the fal'Cie bring me here or...

[She looks down, and notices that the strange device in her hands is recording.]

I don't remember having this, but... why is it recording?

[You can see her poke around with the thing for a bit. Or her finger tapping the screen, rather.]

...I have limited exposure to this place. But from what I have experienced I'd assume you're here because you're dead.

[1stccnplselcie]

... Oh, this isn't recording, it's transmitting. That makes... sense.

[And then the rest of what he said finally hits her.]

But I'd think I'd remember being dead.

[halfacomet]

Your inability to recall events of such grave [and he chuckles here at his own joke for a few seconds, only to gasp with pain again before continuing] is not really my business, is it?

I wouldn't worry too much. It's far less unpleasant here than I imagined it would be.

[1stccnplselcie]

Yeah, but there was a lot of important stuff going on back home that I have no idea about now.

And again, I would think I'd remember something that killed me. -_-

[halfacomet]

So stubborn. I might almost think you were a white mage. Wherever your home is, it's not here. Unless you have a way to return then there's no real sense letting it bother you.

If you insist.

[1stccnplselcie]

... The potential end of the world isn't something that I can just pretend isn't almost happening back there, you know.

[halfacomet]

Hmm. I suppose your unwillingness to forget it means you have the ability to do something about it?

[1stccnplselcie]

...

[halfacomet]

I am not...particularly accustomed to this place.

[This is understatement - he's still stuck on the beach trying to recover and talking to a book did he turn crazy.]

But for what use it is, if by returning you to your world lives could indeed be saved I would be more than glad to offer you my help. If you're simply homesick I'm sure my efforts would be better spent elsewhere and there's not much sense in worry.

[1stccnplselcie]

I see.

... The thing is, I'm not sure if me going back could save people or not.

[halfacomet]

To be honest, I'm not sure if my aid will get you back or not. But if it means lives might be saved, I suppose anything's worth a try - if you'll forgive my unreliability I'll forgive yours.

[1stccnplselcie]

Well... thanks. I'm pretty sure at some point I need to get back and figure things out over there.

My name's Serah. What's yours?

[halfacomet]

Palom. Circumstances aside, I suppose it's nice to meet you.
