I-

What?

No, seriously! Waittaminute. Back the hell up, buster! Let's start again, from the top.

… Actually. On second thoughts, nah. No. Nevermind. I get it. I ge~et it.

[ There is a sigh. It's long and it's loud; it's dramatic and theatrical and totally not, definitely not, an expression of just how much Yuffie would love to punch something

Yuffie!

I know it's very strange and apparently there is no way back but it's so good to see a familiar face finally!

[thatdamnedninja]

Aerith! You're here? Wherever… ah, geez, we were startin' to get worried about you. Well… I was thinking about startin' to get worried. [ Mumblemumble. ]

You're alright, right?

[pink_protector]

I'm alright, don't worry! I've been here for a little bit now, it's been an adjustment, especially with learning about why we're supposed to be here.

[thatdamnedninja]

Wait, what? But it's only been, like a day or two since I last saw you!

[starredjack]

Another new one? Jeez, we seem to be multiplying by the day.

Basically, we've been pulled here - to the town of Haven - to go look for jewel shards. It's not that hard, but the shard creatures that protect 'em are pretty violent.

[thatdamnedninja]

And, lemme guess. We can't go back 'til we've jumped all the hoops?

[starredjack]

That's what it looks like.

Oh, right! People here might know you. It's weird, but we've replaced the lives of people who used to be here.

[thatdamnedninja]

We've what?

... Er, okay. Gotcha. Weirder things have happened. Similar things, too.

[super_seiyan]

Other kidnappers?

Actually nah, it's probably not my business. Is stuff making more sense?

[thatdamnedninja]

Yup! As much sense as this crap ever makes.

[super_seiyan]

Heh. Old hat at world-hopping, are ya?

[thatdamnedninja]

This isn't the first time, that's for sure.

[wriststrap]

I don't think any kidnapper would be able to put up with all that chatter for long enough to collect the reward, actually.

[thatdamnedninja]

You'd be surprised.

[wriststrap]

Not really. I've kidnapped people before and none of them were worth the trouble. Still, I suppose I admire your plucky attitude, or whatever.

[thatdamnedninja]

Kidnapping for money? Pfft. Yeah, that isn't worth the trouble.

[ DELAY IN ANSWER because she knows that voice. She thinks. Yeeaaah she's pretty sure she does. ]

Backwards, lame, and the worst rescuer this side of the universe.

[thatdamnedninja]
