First Train

[booyaka]

Heeeeeellooooooo?

[There is one very lost Selphie roaming the decks looking utterly perplexed about where she is and how the heck she got here.]

Maybe I took a wrong turn out of Time Compression at the krazy kooky sorceress.

Umm... [Poking her head around a door.] Nope...

Squall? Irvy? Quisty? [Peeeeeeeering around. Still no idea.] Rinoa? Zell?

[Whoa whoa! Wait. What is that robot following her?]

Heeeeeeeeeey!! Who do you belong to?

Comments

[booyaka]

...maybe I'm still asleep. [She pinches herself. Hard. And promptly shrieks in pain.] Owwie! I'm awake! I'm awake!

[Wait a second... she knows that guy!]

SQUALL!

[Soooooo happy to see you, man!]

Eh-heh-heh. Did the Garden add a few wings while we were out trashing the nutcase from the future?

[Because she already does oh so well with directions as it is. Not.]

[fatedcircle]

No, it didn't.

[booyaka]

Ooooooookay?

[Still confused here. Help a girl out?]

Alright Squall, spill. Did the boys get up some prank or something?

[You're off the hook. Selphie knows you'd have to be coerced by force to help with a prank. Zell and Irvine are another matter.]

[fatedcircle]

This isn't our universe.

[booyaka]

[Blink. Blinkblink. Dawning realization... 3... 2...1...

GASP! SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!]

How cool!!!!

[What, you didn't expect something more tame did you?]

[fatedcircle]

You aren't worried about getting home?

[booyaka]

Home is where your friends are! And you're here~

[Seriously, the girl could transplant just about anywhere and be happy as a clam. It's how she managed to adopt Balamb Garden as her new home so easily.]

Soooooo, what's the deal exactly, Commander?

[fatedcircle]

In general, or right now?

[booyaka]

Both, please and thank you.

[fatedcircle]

As far as we know, the Mads brought us here so they could force us to read bad literature. Right now we're in a mirror universe, though.

[booyaka]

Bad literature.

[And yet somehow that sounds the most ridiculous out of everything Squall just said.]

Sooooo lemme get this straight. We're in a mirror universe of another universe? ... and I thought Time Compression was freaky.

[Making her head hurt here.]

[fatedcircle]

You get used to it.

[booyaka]

I dunno I want to. How long have you been here anyway?

[Because two and two are not adding up to four. She just saw him at the party last night and he sounds like he's been stranded forever.]

[fatedcircle]

Months, by now.

[booyaka]

Bummer...Guessing there's no exit off the crazy train or you would have found it by now.

So what's the game plan, Commander?

[fatedcircle]

Right now we need to figure out how to get out of this universe.

[booyaka]

Got it. I'll see what I can find out.

[What? Communications is her specialty. A little intel comes with that.]

We got any computers around here? Files? And um, who's the pilot?

[fatedcircle]

Not that I know of, unless you count the Cambots. And you can't fly the Satellite.

[booyaka]

Bummer...

And why not?

[Pouting. You are getting it, Squall.]

[fatedcircle]

We barely know where we are. It's better to leave it in the hands of the people who know the Satellite best.

[booyaka]

Because they're doing such a smashing job right now. C'mon, Squall!

[fatedcircle]

No, Selphie.

[booyaka]

Fiiiiiiiiiine.

[Sulk sulk SULK.]

I'll see what I can rustle up.

[fatedcircle]

Let me know what you find.

[booyaka]

Will do!
