[The feed turns on to show a…really confused blond. It’s not like being in a weird place is that strange for him – but just unexpected after everything that had happened.]

…So I guess I have a few questions.

One, where am I? [He looks around, as if waiting for things to make sense. But it doesn’t.] Two, what’s this thing? [And the feed points down to a grinning Aipom, the mischievous face taking up most of the screen.]

Three…where did my tail go?

[It was kind of disorienting, moving without a tail.]

I mean, it doesn’t seem that bad. But uh…this isn’t really what I was expecting either. Anyway, If anyone has any answers, I’d be happy to hear them. If I got this communication thing, that means there’s gotta be someone out there, right?

[Zidane shakes his head after a moment, and smiles into the feed.]

Thanks in advance!

[Poor Lightning.]

Heh, well...it's not the first time I've been dumped off somewhere that's not home.

[Soooo...]

So is there anybody that needs help here? A goddess that needs fighting for, or something like that?

[He had gotten the basics, but somehow he was still missing the point to all of this.]

You're not alone in that, either. This isn't the first place some of us have been.

[Well. At least he remembers the Conflict. That's something to start with.]

No. There's no Cosmos to fight for here. No one knows why we're here, either.

Yeah, I've noticed that.

[So he's not completely lost, right?]

Cosmos--[He blinks, looking at Lightning.] You know Cosmos too?

[Not completely lost, no...provided he doesn't end up lost on a Route somewhere, that is.]

Yeah. I used to fight on her side, same as you.

[And hopefully that wouldn't happen. He knows exactly where he's going!

...Hopefully.

But he's squinting at the feed just a little, before giving up and tilting his head. He remembered...one girl, Terra. But not this one--]

Seems I keep forgetting a lot of things. Maybe if you tell me your name, it'll jog my memory.

[...Well. It's a good thing the early routes are one way.

And she's just watching him for a second, letting him squint and tilt his head. Nope...definitely doesn't remember. Siiiiigh.]

Lightning.

[Yes, good thing.

Well...yeah, now he feels kind of bad - because try as he might, he can't remember her.]

Man, you'd think I'd remember such a pretty face. Well it's nice to meet you again Lightning. You probably already know my name, but I'll say it again. I'm Zidane!

[Hopefully he doesn't get lost in a cave, then.

Making him feel bad wasn't her intention, but all she does is nod.]

I know. Zidane Tribal. You told me when we first met. [And right before he hit on her, too. That had been fun.]

...Oh, right. Just making sure - I guess I'm that unforgettable, huh?

[Always fun. :|b]

Something like that. Hard to forget a guy with a tail, you know.

[For him, anyway. She's...fond of punching guys who hit on her. When she's not staring at their tails, anyway.]

You got a point there. I take it that's kinda weird where everyone else comes from.

[Good thing they're separated a good bit, then.]

Just about. Don't think they'd have taken it away from you it was normal here.

[Definitely a good thing...especially since she has a boyfriend who can get jealous sometimes.]

Point taken. Well, it'll take a little time to get used to, but I think I can handle it.
