First Transformation [Voice]

[clumsyjesus]

[The feed is turned on and someone’s footsteps are heard. ]
So this machine is used to talk to people from far away? Hmm.....I wonder how it works....[Yes, someone does not realise that she has just turned her journal on and is trying to work it out

...Suddenly, there is a thump!]

....Aaaaah! [And there is a clashing sound of the communicator as it hits the ground]

Oops. I tripped again.....heheh......

.....Oh, no! Did I break it?!

[clumsyjesus]

W-well....I remember we had started setting off after you guys rescued me from the Rheiards. After we walked a little way, we could see the Temple..

I think that's when I tripped.

[chosencasanova]

In that case, let's start out with the easier explanations. Neither of us are on Tethe'alla anymore. And this isn't Sylvarant, either. We're on a completely different world.

[clumsyjesus]

Huh?! A.....completely different world?! [Yeeeah...in a bit of disbelief, here]

But...how?! [She can't have done it that easily by tripping over a rock....or could she? It could have been a magic rock or something..]

[chosencasanova]

Haven't quite figured that one out yet. From what everyone's said, it's pretty common for people to suddenly show up in this place.

[clumsyjesus]

So you don't know how we ended up in this place, either...[This is weird. How do you end up in a world just like that? It doesn't make sense..

However, something more important comes to Colette's mind]

I hope Lloyd and the others are all right! We should find a way to get back to Tethe'alla as soon as possible. [And boy, they're going to be worried about her and she'd hate that. :(]

[chosencasanova]

IIII don't think you have anything to worry about.

...How do I put this?

[he pauses a moment to think. ...Well blunt is probably best in this case] I'm from your future.

[clumsyjesus]

Huh?! [Yep....congratulations, Zelos, you may be about to break poor Colette's brain. AREN'T YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF?] M-my...future? What are you talking about?

[chosencasanova]

[DX Colette, you're making this so hard!] See, before I came here we'd already talked to all the summon spirits--Gnome, Sylph, Ifrit, Celsius, Volt, Asuka, Luna... Sheena has a pact with all of them.

[clumsyjesus]

[LOL she thinks she got what you said the first time but she was just checking because uh...whut? The future?]

Y-you're really from the future?! But how is that possible?! [Yep, her brain is broken, orz]

[chosencasanova]

[that was more him making sure they're on the same page as far as knowing when each of them is from XD]

Not a clue. Wondering how things are possible is kind of a thing here.

[clumsyjesus]

It is? So there might be other people from the past and future, here...[Like the great hero Mithos....w-wow, that would be strange...in Colette's view anyway, since she's from the wrong timeline]

[chosencasanova]

I guess it's possible, but I haven't seen anyone else. There are a lot of people from other worlds around here, too. Whatever it is that brought us here doesn't seem to be too picky in that department.

[clumsyjesus]

Wow.....and someone's managed to bring all of us here....[This is a very mysterious place indeed and whoever did it must be incredibly powerful]

.....Is there a way to get back?

[chosencasanova]

No one's found a way yet. The best I've got is that people sometimes just disappear from the city one day. People guess that the ones who disappear end up back home, but no one knows. And sometimes those people just suddenly pop back up with no memory of ever being here.

[clumsyjesus]

So......we're basically trapped here unless we disappear....[And even then, she did not know if she would return to Tethe'alla or Sylvarant...]

Does anyone know who's behind this, Zelos? We have to do something to stop them!

[chosencasanova]

Hey, calm down, Colette. As far as I remember, you were around before I ended up here. That means we find a way back, right? There's no need to rush in and beat these guys right now. [in other words... "I DON'T WANNA GO HOME. I DON'T WANNA."]

Get over your issues, Zelos. :/

[clumsyjesus]

I know, but we can't just sit here and do nothing. We're not the only ones who want to go home. [Because I would be a really shit Chosen if I didn't do something.....even though I'm secretly feeling like a shit Chosen, anyway. :(]

He'll dig his heels into the soil and cling to the statues if he has to.

[chosencasanova]

["We?"] It's still not going to be that easy. There are people here who have been here for months.

I mean, you can try, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be a walk in the park.

Do you want to stay with the Organization, Zelos?

[clumsyjesus]

[Well, you could honestly tell her you don't want to leave, Zelos, but you're not very honest, anyway. :/]

...For months? Then we definitely have to help them. [Or at least she has to]

Yeah, it probably won't be easy, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way out, no matter how hard it is...[Or at least that is what she hopes...:(]

I guess I'd better ask around first, though...[Because Zelos is right. It probably won't be a walk in the park.]

...Depends on whether or not they cut him a deal.

[chosencasanova]

...I guess if you're that set on it, you could always use the message board. It's kind of public, but people tend to watch it pretty closely. It's like putting up an ad in the middle of a busy square.

Just try to find time to relax a little. Think of this as, you know, a chance to not have to be a Chosen for a little while.

....That would probably end very badly.

[clumsyjesus]

....Hmmm....I guess I could do that. It sounds the most sensible thing.

I....I guess so...[Her voice falters a little. A chance not to be a Chosen? In one way, Colette would really like that. On the other hand, Colette is one of the most selfless beings ever and therefore another part of her is feeling like a horrible, selfish person thinking that way. Being the Chosen really, really sucks. :(]

Y, Yeah...

[chosencasanova]

Like you said, you're not planning on staying here forever, right? There's nothing wrong with taking a vacation while you can.

Colette would be very sad if you worked for the Organization. :(

[clumsyjesus]

[There is a lot of point in what Zelos has said. It would do her no good in rushing things at all. On the other hand, guilt issues, orz]

Zelos, you said you're from the future, right? Does that mean that Sylvarant and Tethe'alla should be still okay?

At least he's good at being a bazillion agent.

[chosencasanova]

Everything was still in one piece when I last saw it. [Giant comet/planet/thing hanging in the air getting ready to leave and leave both worlds dead husks aside]

Yep. Double-crossing everyone.

[clumsyjesus]

It was? [Well, Colette trusts Zelos, so his words give her some comfort. Good thing you didn't mention the giant planet thing and the other stuff]

Okay, I guess I shouldn't worry so much for the moment. [Even though she probably will]

By the way, where are you? [They still need to meet]
