[Now that she's reasonably assured that Death by Singing Roses isn't a high likelihood, Jessica is back to what she assumes is the point of her being here: ARCHITECTURE!

[Jessica sometimes is not the fastest on the social uptake.

[Notebook in hand, she's inspecting the ruins, occasionally pausing to jot down measurements or details.]

[No video at first, but there are the strains of a song being played on a piano. Finally, Tifa's voice:

"Oh, you work in here too?"

And it switches to video. She's sitting at a piano, in a bar that looks very new, and largely unaffected by the recent attacks. The bronze medal that was given to her is on one of the bar tables, glinting in the light. After a moment, she stands up and picks up the medal, studying it carefully.]
In memoriam...for the roses. [She's quiet for a moment, and touches the pink ribbon tied to her arm.] I understand.

[She brightens after that, and smiles. The video zooms closer to her face, and she blinks, and then laughs.] Hey! Too close! Can you move a little? [The Vine heeds to her request, and she leans back, bracing herself on the table.] Okay, everyone. I have an announcement. In all the...commotion, I forgot to mention it, but thanks to Aqua's help, I've made something from home for all of you.

[She sweeps her arms out in a grand sort of gesture.] My bar, 7th Heaven, is open for business. There doesn't seem to be currency here, so you don't have to worry about that. I don't have any need for that sort of thing anyway. I hope to see you all here soon! [She waves.]

[She turns away from the mirror, puts her hands on her hips, and murmurs:] Third time's the charm, I hope.

[This newcomer hasn't taken the time to fool around with the vine yet. In fact, she hasn't even taken the time to strip out of the plain white dress she woke up in, though she has gathered up her possession into a bundle in her arms. Instead of doing any of that, she's simply staring upward at the sky, a look of pure wonder on her face.]

Wow...

[So much time underground makes even simple things like the open sky an amazing sight to behold. She's just going to look for a long, long while at her new surroundings before she starts to worry about where she is and how she got there.]
