[She is lying down in the grass, in that white dress, staring up at the sky with a contemplative look. How to explain this? How to understand it? She only recalled the water, the stench and lack of presence of those soulless beings, and that fire in her veins, the hate and attraction and multi faceted lust singing through her blood. To be so wrenched from that was laces suddenly tightened, a swift end to a once functional limb. Pain, sharp and utterly uncalled for. Frustrating, for she could still feel a burn in her, ebbing away so slowly it might not even be doing so.

Grell tilts her head to the side to see the mirror, a smile on her lips to distract from the warring emotions. She looks back up to the sky, but begins to speak a bit of her mind.]

Where exactly in time do we fall? With it, or without it? In it, or outside it? Months are compressed into two lives, one with the absolute and one where everything can happen. One with a chill, and one with warmth.

...Don't mind my vague ramblings. I've just got to sort out a few things.

[As requested, Sephiroth pays no attention to Grell's words. She sees no need to address "vague ramblings" if asked not to. She is more interested in that white dress Grell is wearing.]

Would I be correct in assuming that you returned to your own world, then reappeared here?

[video]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

It seems so...it's been a while since I've seen here.

[video]

[no-hometown.livejournal.com]

Would you mind answering some questions about your experience?

Or if you require some time to compose yourself, perhaps I could ask them at a later date.

[video]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind, I'm quite fine. What is it you wish to know?

[video]

[no-hometown.livejournal.com]

I am pleased to hear it. [The pleasantry might be for Grell's well-being or for her willingness to answer questions.]

After your return, while you were home, did you remember your time here?

[Video]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Landlady Grell! You're back! I've missed you.

I don't really understand the, um... as you put it, "vague ramblings," but I've never been good at interpreting poetry or anything of the like, so that's probably just me.

At any rate, it's good to see you. Are you well?

[Video]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

Miss Zenobia? You remember me?

[By her count it's been months since she's been here, so...]

I think I'm well, just very confused.

[Video]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

I couldn't forget you, Miss Grell! Or the taste of your lips.

Huh. You're wearing that white getup. Did you... disappear? Or go back to your own world or something?

[Video]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

That's what I think happened...I got returned there for a time that doesn't seem to match up with how long I was gone. It's all very confusing.

[Video]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Huh. That does sound confusing. Are you glad to be back here? Or are things better back in your own world?

[dia-f.livejournal.com]

Hey. Where the fuck have you been?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[She did say ignore it.]

To cities and buildings and realms and the far frigid North. That's where I've been.

[dia-f.livejournal.com]

Did you hit your head, or what?

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

It would be an interesting injury, to so remove me from this world and into my own for such a length of time.

[dia-f.livejournal.com]

Then what are you doing back here?

'The power of spiritual forces in the universe-how active it is everywhere! Invisible to the eyes and impalpable to the senses, it is inherent in all things, and nothing can escape its operation.'

[Tenshi thought that the best way to combat vague ramblings was, well, do to similar. Or quote, which was mostly the same.]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[Oh, now this sounds fun.]

"These our actors/As I foretold you, were all spirits and/Are melted into air, into thin air/And, like the baseless fabric of this vision....shall dissolve/And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,/Leave not a rack behind."

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

"The impermanent have no reality; reality lies in the eternal. Those who have seen the boundary between these two have attained the end of all knowledge. Realize that which pervades the universe and is indestructible; no power can affect this unchanging, imperishable reality."

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

[She claps.]

Beautiful words. It's nice to hear people give them back.

I don't even want to think about time. It might as well not even be here, considering were stuck in a cross-dimensional clusterfuck.

video

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

If "clusterfuck" means what I think it does, then your statement is entirely accurate.

video

[heretolookhot.livejournal.com]

Pretty self-explanatory, I'm sure you've got it right.

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

If it wouldn't probably cause some sort of historical flaws, I'd love to take it home with me...I know one person desperately in need of that word.

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that better not be another poem.

[video]

[esoteric_rose.livejournal.com]

No, I just talk like that occasionally. Side effect of having years to absorb plays, poetry, beautiful dialogue, and talented souls's words.
