[The journal comes on to the sound of a twig snapping under her foot as Natalia picks her way through the forest.] Ouch!

[She has to stop to pick the sharp piece out of her skin.] What is this place? I don't recall Eldrant having any forests.

The others have all disappeared at such a crucial time as well. Where exactly am I supposed to go?

Hello, Natalia.

[Voice]

[forkimlasca]

Colonel Curtiss? Is everyone here?

[Voice]

[uncutejade]

Just about. Only Tear seems to be missing, it seems.

[Voice]

[forkimlasca]

When did you arrive?

[soreplaceable]

[He doesn't really stop to think about her possible reaction to seeing him alive before he speaks up.]

That's- Natalia! Did you just arrive as well?

[Voice]

[forkimlasca]

[Thank goodness Nephry said something.]

Y-Yes, Fon Master. That's right.

[soreplaceable]

[Still, hearing that the dead have come to life and speaking with the dead are two different things! Her tone seems to say as much.]

I'm sorry. This place can be pretty overwhelming when you first arrive... has anyone directed you towards the village yet?

[Voice]

[forkimlasca]

[So very true. She's like o___O]

Yes, a few people actually. It seems like many of our friends are here.

...Natalia?

[Oh god, this place really does hate him, doesn't it? Damn his luck.]

[Voice] \o

[forkimlasca]

[Give her a minute.]

.....

[Voice]

[mirrorbirth]

[He'll give it to her, though the silence that follows is just as uncomfortable as ever. He needs some time, too; by her reaction, he assumes she's new and has forgotten he's here.]

[Voice]

[forkimlasca]

[Okay, make that two minutes. But eventually she gets it together.]

Asch.... you're all right. [Obviously.]
