-The vine picks up a girl laying among the flowers. The scroll has been left somewhere beside her, and seems untouched. Furthermore, the position she is in seems hardly natural. Not like someone resting, but rather... she had fallen there. And, in fact, the more one looks at her, the more it appears she's not alive at all... At least for a few moments before her chest starts to move.

With a loud gasp and cry, she sits up, clutching at the space just below her ribs but above her stomach. She breathes heavily, a look of complete shock in her eyes.-

I'm... alive? But how... No wound remains, either... Not even a cut in my gown...

... These are not the ruins... Could it be God has delivered me unto heaven? Impossible... I deserve no such grace...

-She quickly moves to her feet, looking around. She is seemingly completely unaware she's being recorded.-

Hello! Is anyone there!?

... What trickery is this place?

I understand, but... I've a duty to my countrymen. -Or she did, anyways. Before that fateful meeting with her husband...-

Unfortunately, it's going to have to be put on hold for now. I have responsibilities as a soldier, but there isn't anything I can do about it.

[ Despite that negativity, she's trying to smile. ]

I'm Lieutenant Katina Tarask.

[ofnovalue]

It is an honor, Lieutenant. I am Queen Ovelia Atkascha of Ivalice.

[grandtheftmecha]

Oh, another queen huh? Nice to meet you.

[ofnovalue]

... I beg your pardon, Lieutenant, but... "another"?

[grandtheftmecha]

Well there are one or two others here, and the lady in charge calls herself a Queen as well, but she's mostly just insane.

[ofnovalue]

But the other?

[grandtheftmecha]

It's not like I know everyone, I just remember it getting mentioned here and there.

[ofnovalue]

I see...

If you're interested, you could ask around, I'm sure they'd be fine with talking about it.
