[The feed clicks on, and there's just a moment of quiet breathing and the sound of rubble sliding from under feet before a girl's voice speaks up, sounding concerned and surprised, but somehow managing to keep her tone even and calm.]

I can figure out that I've missed a lot, but I need someone to clue me in. Last I was here, the city was still standing, and didn't look as if an earthquake had hit it or worse. I'm looking for anyone who can give me some info on the current situation. I need explanations.

[She pauses, and there's another sound of rubble getting knocked around.]

If there's anyone out there in need of assistance or healing, let me know, and I'll do what I can.

Squall, if you're still here, now would be a really good time to let me know that you're okay.

Okay, so it's occurred to me that I haven't really gotten around to exploring this place much since I got here, and I think it's about time I fixed that. Still, I really don't want to just explore on my own, so anybody want to join me? I could really use some company. I'm thinking it will be lots of fun for everyone who goes.

Imagine my surprise wakin' up here in hallucination land to stand in line for a fuckin' computer. Or was it to get in? Fuck if I know, I was hopin' the map on this thing had an exit. According to the one person I've run into so far with personality, there ain't one.

So, since I gotta wait for these status effects to wear off where is a guy to go for an imaginary stiff drink? And do I need money, or do you use leaves here? I noticed they were in short supply, what with the fake trees and shit.

[Could he sound any more disinterested? Probably not, Seifer is fairly convinced he's hallucinating still.]

Does anyone know how to keep from having nightmares? I'm willing to take any ideas I can get.

I didn't know dogs could get so big. {Guess who else spied a hyena?} I've seen wolves before, but these... {These could rip you apart in no time flat.} Has anyone been hurt? I'm not a healer or a physician, but...I don't mind tending to people...or animals. {She adds in a softer voice.}

{Private to Beast.}

I've been exploring a lot lately. There are so many beautiful places here. {She pauses and gathers her courage.} Would you like to re-visit some of them with me?

Okay, I think this will work...Wait a minute! Hyne, I didn't want it to record yet!

[Oh well, might as well make the best of this anyway.]

Let me start this over. Everyone can hear me okay, right? I hope so because I could really use some help. Mostly information. First, can anyone tell me where I am, and maybe how I got here? Second, I'm trying to find some friends of mine, so if anyone could maybe help me with that, I'd be really glad.

Selphie, Zell, Quistis, Irvine, Squall, if any of you guys can hear this, let me know, okay?

Okay, now onto the third question. Does anyone know a way to get back to Balamb Garden? Actually, maybe I should be asking, is there a way back to Garden?
