[a new girl here has just spent a little bit talking to the Vine in attempts to figure out how it works exactly, so it catches some of Aerith's words before she actually begins to address the network]

So you're the one I have to talk to, hm? [a pause] Though I've heard that you carry the voices of others as well... so then, can you connect me, Miss Vine? [another little pause as she clears her throat]

Hello? Heeelllo?

The garden here is beautiful and I don't mind staying for a little bit, but I do need to know the way back... to the Lifestream -- or, my Planet at the very least -- for later. I think the others should be okay without me for now, but I'd like to be there just in case.

Thank you, Vine and friends!

Th...

[There's a long, long pause.]

Lifestream?

[There's nothing but the sound of unsteady breathing for a moment. Finally, hesitantly:]

That voice...I know that voice.

Aerith?

[anunlockedheart.livejournal.com]

...A-Aerith?

Is that really you? How...

Friends?

[amusement]

You might be a little premature.

[aunomdedieu.livejournal.com]

The Lifestream?

[there's a pause on this end too for a moment] Oh...

2/3

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Tifa?

3/3

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Hmm... that means that this can't be this Planet's version of the Lifestream, doesn't it?

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Weeell... I might not be your friend, but the Vine knows many of you, doesn't she?

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

The Lifestream is the Planet's life force, in the simplest terms. But it looks like this place works a little differently, hm?

[aunomdedieu.livejournal.com]

[ There's a lengthy pause as Caprica thinks that over. ]

I guess it does.

There's... nothing like that where I come from, either.

(voice.)

[anunlockedheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Yeah, it's me. [She sounds...well, shellshocked.] No I don't think it's the Lifestream...is that how you got here? Did you travel through...?

[a pause, and then it switches to video. Tifa looks very surprised, and confused.] Can you see me?

1/2

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

I'm... not sure how I got here, to be honest.

2/2

[it also switches to video for Aerith now without her immediately realizing what it was doing, so it catches her concerned expression. but when she sees Tifa's face, there's nothing but a bright smile on her face.] Yes! Can you see me too?

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all?

[voice]

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no one knows how to get back to where they came from.

sooo LJ notifs would be nice :|

[aunomdedieu.livejournal.com]

No. [ She pauses for a moment, then concedes. ] Nothing that I'm aware of, at any rate.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

That is...a much more pleasant first announcement than most make.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Then I guess we'll just have to keep looking, hm?

[shanghaiworld.livejournal.com]

While putting up with whatever happens here.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

This is a really weird situation, but it feels... very gentle here. I don't know, I guess I just didn't want to make a fuss in such a nice garden.

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

Putting up with whatever happens?

omg so its not just me?

[onelastflower.livejournal.com]

A Planet without energy sounds... [she has to pause and try to think of the right word] ...odd.

(video.)

[anunlockedheart.livejournal.com]

I...

[Her eyes widen when she sees Aerith, and she gapes for a moment, uncomprehending.] Yes, I can. I can see you.

[Her voice is a little choked-sounding now, and she doesn't seem to notice, but a single, noble tear traces down her cheek.] It's really you. [And she smiles back.]
