day 48; video call to everyone

[recalls]

( Vanille's phone call is sort of an accident - she's not used to gadgets like these, and back on Cocoon she and Fang had mostly hit buttons until something happened. This device isn't quite so complicated as that, but it's still not like anything she's used back home. She manages to make it work by sheer dumb luck, though, and the video function

[Hold it. Hooooold it. He knows that pigtail. And that voice.

[That's a familiar face. A moment, and Fang's face pops up into view. She studies him for a moment...this isn't right. She doesn't smile just yet, too displaced to find even her usual flippant humor in the situation, but her eyes soften.] The one and only. Hey, Snow. [a lazy wave.] Mind telling me where we are?

[Oh man, is he glad to see that face. But...something's off. Did they...did they fail their Focus or something?]

[Fang raises an eyebrow, but she doesn't say anything. She's not gonna have Snow and the others fussing over her for what she and Vanille had decided on.] Worried about me? I'm touched.

Been a while? What do you mean by that? We were all just together. [More or less, anyway.]

Yeah, I've been here for almost a week, so it's good to see your faces again.

[She looks a little puzzled at that. It doesn't make much sense, but nothing going on so far makes much sense.] It's good to see you too. Got any more info on this place?

The weather's nuts and we've got some crazy people and monsters, or so I've been told. You know, the usual.

Hah. Never a moment's rest for a l'Cie, huh?

Doesn't look like it. But hey, nothin' we haven't faced already, right?

That's the spirit.
