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.]

no subject
Terra's arms wrap around Xion when he hears that little plea, rubbing her shoulder with a hand. He's not exactly the best at comfort, but he can try for her. He drops a kiss to her head, voice soft as he speaks.]
I won't.
[He wouldn't leave her alone, not if he could help it.]
no subject
Lightning did. Before... before we even really got to the fight. I called and called, but she never...
[She swallows.]
Hiro thinks the ones who... He thinks they might be safe, but...
[The implied question, the big 'what if' is obvious. This maybe isn't the best of places for this sort of conversation, but Xion can't muster the focus or energy to suggest they move. All of it is going into trying to keep herself together in the here and now.]
