So this place is called Paixao? [ A brief pause, then just a bit unsure. ]

It doesn't sound like any city I've heard of on Gran Pulse or Cocoon. Is it possible that we ended up in an entirely different world...?

Sorry, I guess I got a bit carried away. I was told that this is a public message board. My name is Serah Farron, and I'm looking for a few people. If anyone could help me find them I'd really appreciate it. Their names are Lightning Farron, Snow Villiers, Noel Kreiss, Hope Estheim, Sazh and Dahj Katzroy, and Alyssa.

Oh! Right. I came in through the Joutenheim gate.

[ And unintentionally then, just before she ends the transmission: ]

I really hope you're all safe here somewhere...

I've got it~! [Splash! Vanille splutters and struggles onto (what can only be) dry land.]

Hope, come try this with me! [That can also be translated as: "Hope, come here and let me push you into this pond!".] It's fun, I swear~. There are even big rocks that you can sunbathe on!

[Private to Fang.]

Figure anything out yet?

[/]

[Private to Lightning.]

Have you talked to Fang?

[/]

Fang? FANG! [Vanille sounds a little desperate.] You didn't leave, did you? [She sighs quietly.] I think we should do somethin'. All of us. [That's right. Fang, Lightning, Hope, Beast, Lumiere and Terra (male). Us.]

Maybe a picnic?

[Beast's voice is meek and quiet, very different from the tone most people would be used to hearing from him by now.]

Have...Have any of you seen a man named Cogsworth? He's...been missing for...some time.
