So, uh, hey everyone. Julie here. [Wave!]

It looks like, um... Serah's gone, if you knew her, so that's something. But-- [She takes a breath, seemingly steeling herself against the news she just gave out. Serah was - is - her friend, and she'll miss her.]

But before she went, we were talking to Tranquility about planting some trees outside his temple. Looks like that's not the only place that could use it though, right? [The smile that comes to her face is small and crooked, a little awkward. She hadn't been to the other islands in a while, but when she did... People have been busy.]

I did some farming back home, but I don't think I can plant a whole forest by myself. Soooo... anyone want to start a project? Bet there's people here who can make seeds sprout by magic, right?

[she would give anything for another Legionnaire to arrive, even one she wasn't as close to, or for her boyfriend to show up. either way, she'd feel a lot more settled and a lot less culture shock]

That must have been difficult to go through.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah... wasn't great.

[It's still not great. What she wouldn't give to have R still here, or better still, Nora. Even her father.

The thought that she could see her father again, here, has occurred to her before... but it's still enough to quiet her for a moment.]

But you have to just push through all the shit, right?

[unphase]

I can't imagine.

[people from home are a gift. those who have them don't seem to realize how lucky they are.

she'd take her mother. her mother would immediately disapprove of everyone Tinya spoke to and try to take control of her life, but at least it would be familiar]

We don't have any other option, do we?

[redwinekindofgirl]

No... we don't.

[If there was another option--

But if she's honest with herself, she's tried those other options before. The marks on her arms are proof enough of that. There are always other options, it's just what options are acceptable ones.

Julie forces a smile.]

So, this is gonna take a while to work out. I'll be in touch, yeah?

[and Tinya remains firmly in denial about the likelihood of her own death back in her world. it will take a lot to get her to confront that reality, but in the meantime she keeps telling herself that her friends in the Legion have got to be looking for her]

All right. It was nice to meet you, Julie.
