Hel l o?

[Deja vu...

But then it turns to video, showing an inquisitive face. It hasn't been that many years since Elena was sixteen, but she still looks pretty different. Maybe it's the blonde ponytails, or the school uniform that's been swapped out for a Turk uniform

[Video] lol poor spider

[eternalscorpion]

You were kidnapped too? What's a Turk?

[That spider was pretty cool looking though...]

[Video] i know XD;

[wellsuited]

Turks are a bunch of people who like to go around thinking that they're better than everyone else, but really, they're just a bunch of losers.

Hey, are you okay?

[Video]

[eternalscorpion]

Oh.

[He smiles to show he's fine.]

I'm okay! I was kidnapped but I escaped from the bad guy. I don't know where I am though. A girl told me this place's called Anatole but I've never heard of it before.

[Video]

[wellsuited]

Anatole...

Nope, I don't know it either. What's your name? Where are you from?

[ video ]

[couragetodare]

That's a spider!

[Like. Duh Elena! ... doesn't matter that it's metal and weird?] Why'd you kick it!?

[ video ]

[wellsuited]

It's still gross. And it was getting too close to me!

[ video ]

[couragetodare]

Is not! Spiders are cool! It's cool! You should'a left it alone!

[Pause.]

I bet it was gonna do something neat!

[ video ]

[wellsuited]

Bugs are not cool! Especially not giant bugs! Especially not giant metal bugs!

I bet it was going to bite me and then lay eggs inside my body while I was paralyzed from the venom.

[A shiver runs through her.]

Does that sound like something 'neat' to you?!

Voice

[i_love_squats]

Turks are laaaame. They smell, too!

Hey, hey! Do you need to be rescued? I'm gonna be a SOLDIER and a hero! I'll save you!

Voice

[wellsuited]

So lame. Is your sister one too?

I train at the Military Academy. So I don't really need to be rescued. But I do need a job...

Hey! Is your mom looking for a babysitter?

Voice

[i_love_squats]

Nope! I'm an only! Mom says it's 'cause she can't handle more 'an me! [Is anyone really surprised.]

Military? Oooh! Do you have guns? Do you fight people? Huh?

My mom's not here, but I can take care of myself! I'm practically a grown up! I'm five.

Voice

[wellsuited]

Lucky...

[Sibling rivalry, what sibling rivalry.]

I've trained a little bit with guns but I...don't like them anymore. So I study martial arts now. Sure, I fight people. I spy on them too, but don't tell anyone.

...You're five?

...voice :3

[onetoignite]

[LOOK HE'S NOT USING TEXT FOR ONCE.]

[BECAUSE HE IS LAUGHING AT YOU, ELENA.]

[And then he whistles, just because he can. Nice uniform.]

...

[wellsuited]

[That is clearly the laugh of a deviant! A psychopath! And quite possibly a panty thief.

Elena is positive that this is her kidnapper.]

Hey! When I find you, it's all over for you!

[...]

Wait a minute. It's the other way around. I'm supposed to keep you from finding me!

:D

[onetoignite]

Right, I'm definitely saving this for later. Haven't got a clue what you're up to but this is too good to go to waste.

And you're by the florist, scary girl.

XD

[wellsuited]

Well here's five gil, go and buy a clue!

[Only not really, because she needs her money to get home. Elena blinks before glancing behind her.

...Yep, florist. Elena jumps a little and quickly turns the video off.]

Jerk!

[ Voice ]

[prodigal_liar]

[Just what he needs after everything that has occurred recently... but he can't just let her wander around and get herself (and who knows who else!) into trouble. She's a magnet for it... and if his gut tells him anything, Itachi thinks that magnet is much stronger now than it was before.]

Elena-san?

[A calm and soothing voice.]

Where are you?

[ Voice ]

[wellsuited]

[Someone knows her name...

Even more suspicious, it's a voice she doesn't recognize no matter how smooth and alluring it might be.]

Who wants to know?

[ Voice ]

[prodigal_liar]

[She doesn't remember anything.

Nothing at all?]

Itachi.

[Pause.]

By now I'm certain you've realized that this is not the world that you're familiar with, correct?

[ Voice ]

[wellsuited]

Well...it's obviously not Midgar.

How do you know my name? Are you working with that whistler creep?!
