Video | A day late and a dollar short (Lockets + Compassnet)
[She's still disoriented. Disoriented and tired and feeling like a well-wrung sponge. She probably looks the part too, face having the ruddy, blotchy look of someone who's gone through a lot of upheaval in a very short space of time.
She barely understands what's going on, beyond the barest jist of things. For her, it was only a few hours at most since she was in the heart of the great gem before she was flung into this world, owing to ending up on a place in her world that was... temporally flexible... for those two while the gem did its work. And once she's taken some time to just sleep and gather herself... she can get started.
She still has Feathers. And Pathfinder. And even her locket. Which is as good a place as any to start.]
H-hey. I don't... really recognize where I am. He... that man said we were in the past I think?
[But this area honestly doesn't even look like part of the future world either. An entirely new location. She could try her corridors sure, but those only worked to places she's been before, and it seems risky if she isn't even sure whether those places exist in the past.
All of these time thoughts are giving her a headache. She reaches a hand up to rub her forehead. Behind her, a chocobo briefly butts into view to nudge the side of her head. She reaches the same free hand back to pat its beak absently.]
I'm sorry. [This must look so dumb.] I'm still really confused. But... we're all here, right?
[They're not all strangers again, starting from scratch?]
Locked to Compassnet
[With a more general address out of the way she goes for something a bit more targeted. He'd said the Seelie and Unseelie didn't exist yet, but after a few months of being wary of the lockets, she's still careful.
She pulls up Pathfinder's charm, the wayfinder that Riku had given her, and speaks slowly.]
Terra? Riku? Elizabeth? Sora? Merida? Um... I'm not sure who else is here.
[Who else of the people she cares about has access to the separate network. There's a nervous, almost pleading edge to her voice. Well if they were still here or not... this would make it obvious either way.]

And yet.
If he was home though, if he was really home and safe... that was okay. He was okay, so she would be okay.
A wistful sort of smile works its way onto her face and she scrubs at her eyes quickly, in case anything came out. Thankfully the heel of her palm comes away mercifully dry.]
I've... been better, I guess. I'll be careful, when I do find something.
[Because Elizabeth is right... she still hasn't exactly learned how to swim properly yet.]
I'm glad he's okay though.

( Porthos is gone. While they'd mutually separated beforehand, the loss still stings a little in her heart. Elizabeth can but hope that he, too, is home and safe as Riku is.
For the rest of them, this world will need to suffice as a home. )
As am I. When you locate a faerie ring, and if think of me, and you will find me upon a warm island.
I would see you again with my own eyes, if I may. It has been too long.

Admitting she's not really all that okay yet.
Other things though, are much easier]
Yeah, it has.
[Since... since before the whole battle started, even.]
Um... I'll let you know, when I find one, or... or when I can get there.
[If corridors work, it could simplify things a lot. Even if it couldn't take Xion to exactly where Elizabeth was, she'd been to a few faerie rings by now.]
