Vanille wakes to the cold feeling of the boxes she finds herself surrounded by. The large building not far ahead shields her area from the sun, but it doesn't look like any building she's ever seen before. In fact, nothing here appears to be the least bit familiar.

She rubs the bottom of her palms roughly to her eyes, hoping to clear away any false images that might be blocking her sight. But as soon as she allows them to get back into focus, she sees that her eyes were telling her the truth all along. This isn't a dream, despite her overwhelming state of mind to make things seem as though they really are all appearing in her sleep. She slowly sits up with a small frown, absorbing the reality. Or trying to, rather.

"Wh... where am I?!" She says to the world in the whiny, anxious tone that she's mastered. No sign of any of her friends. No Lightning, no Sazh. Snow and Hope aren't present either...

Suddenly, Vanille quickly stands herself up in panic followed by a short gasp because no, not again, "Fang!" And then the sound of a stone hitting the cement touches the walls and boxes nearby, echoing back to her. Naturally the curious type, Vanille turns her attention to the small bit of rock, picking it up and examining the dark stone.

"Looks like another one from the sky!"

Curiouser and curiouser... she almost forgets the stone, but holds it close as her eyes wonder around. "Where are you?"

"Up here!" A fuzzy moogle glides its way to Vanille's direction from atop one of the stacked boxes. "That's quite the stone, Kupo!"

Vanille shines a broad grin at the moogle, "and you're quite the cutie patootie!" Still smiling, she glances back down at the rock, since it might be of some importance. "This came from the sky?"

"Perhaps with you, Kupo!"

"With me?" Vanille's face has confused written all over it. But this cute little creature seems like he would know a lot more than she, so her trust in him creates question after question in the back of her mind. "What do you mean? I fell from the sky? But wouldn't that hurt?"

"I can't really help you there, Kupo. Maybe that stone has the answers you're looking for?"

Vanille's eyes automatically glue themselves to the mysterious rock and she quickly nods. "Maybe you're right!" Oh, curiosity. Prepare to be satisfied.
