[There’s scuffling sounds, a bush rustling and a girl muttering nervously to herself-and then the sound of someone approaching the journal on hands and knees. The sound fades to a brief silence before Aerith’s smiling face pops into view.]

Hello-o-o! Can anyone hear me? I could use some help.

[moehime]

Yes, I can hear you! Where are you right now?

[gardenerofgaia]

I'm in the forest, but--

I'm looking for a green materia. It might be with a pink ribbon, I think I misplaced both. Have you seen it?

[moehime]

Where? Maybe I can find you!

I have not seen this green materia nor have I seen a pink ribbon.

[gardenerofgaia]

Find me? Hm...I don't recognize this part of the forest at all. [She...thinks she's in the Sleeping Forest still. :|b]

If you see either of them, could you call me? My name is Aerith. I really need to find that materia. It's...a gift from my mother.

[trulyworthit]

I can hear you. What do you need help with?

[gardenerofgaia]

I, hmm...I can't hear it...[she sounds a little panicky now, feeling out of her depths with this situation.]

I don't know what happened. I was near Bone Village, but I just woke up and everything I had is gone. I need to find my things...

[trulyworthit]

The Bone Village? There isn't any-- ...

... Oh, right. I guess that means you're new here too.

[gardenerofgaia]

...I'm not even on the Northern continent?

Please--can you tell me what's going on? Where is this place?

[holysovereign]

Hmm...

Ah dear, your name wouldn't happen to be... Aerith, would it?

[gardenerofgaia]

Oh! ...Is someone looking for me?

[holysovereign]

Cloud has been worried for you.

[gardenerofgaia]

[There's a brief silence--she's surprised that it sounds like Cloud is so close already--and then she gives a little laugh.]

He always worries so much...he'll give himself frown lines. I told him I'd come back once it was done.

[wingenvy]

Aerith!

[gardenerofgaia]

Her brain, it is broke.

[gardenerofgaia]

Zack.

...No--Zack?

[gardenerofgaia]

Can you tell me anything about "Luceti"?

[gardenerofgaia]

I'm on a worn footpath in the woods right now--I think I'll be able to reach the village!

This world...that's why I can't hear anything. But... How can they just take us like this?
