( there's the sound of muffling... while it appears as though the screen is being handled every which way. there's mainly just streaks of colour and a muffled voice. then suddenly, the noises come in crystal clear, apparently something was covering the microphone... ) -- though I'm not sure how it's possible to communicate just by... oh!

( and finally you can see her face -- a brunette with medium length hair, and two different coloured eyes. she seems calm, but... there's almost a sense of urgency about the way she's carrying herself )

H-hello? Is it working? Can anyone hear me? My name is Yuna -- it seems as though I've landed in a place called Traverse Town? I believe that's what the moogle said, even though -- I'm not entirely sure how, exactly... Everything... just got so dark, suddenly... Um. It seems as though I somehow managed to get separated from my guardians... Wakka? Lulu? Can you hear me? Kimahri...?

( and there's a small pause as she seems to be considering something -- ) I suppose... it's worth a try.

( and a loud whistle resounds! )

I'm a new arrival, as well. It seems we've all been separated from our friends, though several of mine have appeared here. Perhaps yours will do the same?

You also... arrived here from Spira, then? Just as suddenly?

It seems as though I managed to find one of them, you're right. I was worried I wouldnt't be able to find anyone...

Spira? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar.

A number of us seem to come from different worlds, however.

Different worlds?! Truly? Just like... Zanarkand?

That seems to be the state of things. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Zanarkand, either...

( a muffled gasp as her hands cover her mouth... then slowly lets them down again ) It's just... the only other world I've ever heard of, I'm sorry. I guess it shouldn't be so surprising that there are others...

A lot more than I ever considered. Really, I don't think it's unusual not to think about much beyond one's own planet, especially if you don't come from someplace with technology capable of taking men into space. Our lives are hectic enough without trying to see an even bigger picture.

Space? ... ( eyes widen ) You can't mean -- the sky?!

And beyond it, yes.

Oh my goodness! ( visible shock is go ) I didn't... even realize that there was machina with such capabilities! Er -- that is... it was machina, that helped you tackle such a feat, wasn't it?

Machina? I assume that's what machines are referred to in your world. In which case, yes, we did make use of machina. They're capable of incredible things.

Machines... ( strange. how it sort of rolls off the tongue like that... ) That's... that's amazing! I never even knew such a thing was possible! Were you -- one of the people that went? Into the sky, I mean?

I've been, yes. It was... [She smiles, unable to keep a straight face as she thinks back on it. The circumstances were terrible, but the experience of going into space itself had been incredible.]

It was like nothing I'd ever experienced before in my life. Even living in a world where space travel was possible, I never imagined I would go there.

( she just seems to be... awestruck ) I can't imagine what it must have been like...! Does you world... have many powerful pieces of machina, then? Like your skyship?

Yes, some parts of the world more than others. There are a few countries that are very advanced, and some that prefer to live simpler, though just about everyone uses trains for transportation and HD cable for communication.

Trains... HD... ( as though somehow saying the words help her to picture such things... )

Where I come from -- there's not really anything like that. We use regular ships, mostly. Oh! And shoopufs as well.

Shoopufs? What's a shoopuf, if you don't mind my asking?

No! Not at all. Shoopufs are... rather large animals. Much bigger than us. Actually, it isn't a stretch for about a half dozen of people to ride them at once! They have large noses and tails, and I just recently learned from a local scholar that they don't eat, either!

Interesting. They don't eat? How do they survive?

( she kinda... motions towards her nose, using her hands to somehow attempt to show a trunk-like appendage... ) They sort of... suck up the water through their nose -- and survive on the micro-organisms within!

Oh! I see. They don't eat conventionally, but still take in nutrients. Fascinating.
