1st Fall [Video]

[couldnotfly]

[Good day, people of Somni and Espoir. Have a view of the evening sky and the sound of running water. Not much to look at, really, if you don't care for trees, but it's all there is for a couple minutes before there's footsteps.]

Shiva....must have hit my head on that pipe harder than I thought...this can't be Nibelheim.

[To some, that's

[Familiar face much?]

...Zack?

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

[Very familiar. Though Zack is just going to go stiff as a board and pale slightly. Enjoy that sharp inhale, General. He'll just stare now, eyes wide and startled.

But then something changes, and that fear mostly fades. The look on his face changes to a wary one, but...well, Zack's never been one to stay scared for very long.]

...Seph?

[You'd better be sane, man. He couldn't handle it if you're not. Not again.]

[Video]

[furorimperator]

[Damn this place! First Angeal, then Genesis, now Zack??]

...welcome back.

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

Back? Seph, I don't have a clue where I am. If I'd been here before, I think I'd remember. [His memory isn't that bad. Even with a bonk on the head.]

[iceblades]

[The man on the screen seemed just as confused as Jin had been upon arriving here. It wouldn't be too much trouble to answer his query.]

I believe they call this place 'Somarium'.

As for your immediate location... I haven't a clue.

[In fact, Jin had no clue where he himself was. At least he wasn't the only one hopelessly lost in this new world.]

I am just as lost as you.

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

[Somarium. Huh. Zack'll just file that little tidbit away and smile faintly.]

Guess I'm not the only one who can't tell up from down right now, huh?

Re: [Video]

[iceblades]

I'm afraid so. But we don't appear to be the only ones in this situation.

[Jin could feel something faint, but it was there alright. There were others here, many others in this strange world.]

Is there... Anyone else around you?

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

Mst be true, then. Misery loves company. [A wry little grin. It's fitting, at least. Even if Zack hasn't seen anyone else around yet.]

No. Just me and a lot of trees. [And a river.]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, it's working. I can hear you just fine. [He can see Zack, too. Hey, all those trees...] I bet you're in Espoir!

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

At least somebody can! Thought I was on my own. [Because hey, woods in his world don't exactly have people in them. Or decent phone reception.

And that just confirms it. This soooo isn't Nibelheim.]

Espoir, huh? Can't say I've heard of it.

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

Nah, there's lots of people here! I bet you'll run into someone in no time. [But Lloyd can commiserate with the whole lack-of-phone-contact-in-forests. Heck, before he came here, he never had a phone of his own.]

Espoir's in the center of the city. The city's Somni, and this whole place is Somarium. It's another world - at least, I think it is. [He hasn't exactly explored this whole world, so who knows if this guy's world is a part of it, or just connected?] That's probably why you've never heard of it. Do you know how you got here?

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

Probably when I get out of the woods. [Which is what he's doing now. Pick a direction and walk. Bound to get him somewhere.

After a moment to process the information that Lloyd just gave him, Zack frowns. Another world? Is that even possible?] I'm...not really sure. I was in the middle of a fight, then I was here. Not sure how I could have gotten here from there.

[heavenlyfinale]

[Pinged by Nibelheim. She scrambles for her Dreamberry, picking it up.]

Zack?

[video]

[couldnotfly]

[He's about to say "that's me." before he remembers, hey, he never said his name. So he'll look down at the Dreamberry before his eyes go wide. Is that--]

Tifa?

[video]

[heavenlyfinale]

[You've got a really relieved smile from her. She's happy, to say the least.]

Welcome back.

[video]

[couldnotfly]

[Well, that's a good sign. No matter how confused Zack is, it's a good thing that Tifa's smiling.]

Back? I've never been here before. [He'd remember if he had been in a forest lately. Nibelheim didn't have those.]

[royalseashells]

[Blink blink.]

Zack?

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

Yeah? [Whoa whoa whoa. Fullstop, Fair. He never said his name, so have some blinking right back at you, dear girl. Should he know you?]

[Video]

[royalseashells]

[Kairi tilts her head and studies him for a minute.]

... Do you remember being here?

[Video]

[couldnotfly]

Sorry. Can't say that I do. [Slightly embarrassed look; he doesn't even know what this place is.]
