... Oh. Here again.

[Aerith certainly remembers the dressing room, but a lot has changed over the past two years. too much for her to really recall where her old haunts were. good thing there's a myriad of familiar faces she can approach!]

Does anyone remember the way to the garden?

[ooc; oh mah god old muse is old. sorry if I'm rusty.]

Miss Aerith?

[Man, he remembers her from...way back.]

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

... Hello, Ienzo. You're still here?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Indeed I am.

[Aerith might notice that he's grown a little bit since then. After all, it's been a veeery long time.]

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

It seems the dressing room's grown along with you. I hardly recognize this place anymore.

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

Well, the same old locations are still present. It's simply a matter of finding them nowadays.

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

I see. I don't suppose you could show me the way to the garden, then?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

With pleasure.

[He'll even turn in its general direction.]

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[she is, of course, going to grill him as they walk along.]

How have things been here, Ienzo? Have you found someone nice?

[radiantprodigy.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome.

[...Ah. And of course she'd ask. He laughs quietly, but... yeah. He nods.]

Surprisingly, yes.

*Boy does Sora have a fondness for Aeriths. He's wandering the hallway with a book on chocobos and a cookbook (though neither are related omg ;; He does smile when he sees her, a very Sora sort of smile.)

Aerith?

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

Hm?

[she turns, and upon seeing him, returns that smile two-fold.]

Oh! Hello, Sora.

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*This Sora's around nineteen years old, but still quite short, so he's looking up at you.*

I don't think I've seen you before, but then I haven't met an Aerith yet.

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

I don't believe I've seen you before, either. You're much taller than the Sora I know.

[her gaze zeros in on the books in his hands, and she gives him a quizzical look.]

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

*He puffs up like crazy at that, since his 64 inch height is quite unremarkable and the source of many jokes directed at him. He looks at the books and flails at what it might look like to a stranger.*

Uhm! I'm not cooking a chocobo I promise! My uh, son. He's got a little chocobo who is sick and we were trying to figure out what we should do to make him more comfortable. And I'm cooking lasagna tonight.

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

Ah. May I help you? I don't have much experience with chocobos, but I'd like to help if I could.

[and then her eyebrow quirks slightly, though it's more out of surprise.]

You have a son? Sora!

[endlessxsky.livejournal.com]

Of course! I'm sure Sorabug would love some help. He loves new friends.

*And he's holding his hands up, flailing.*

It's not like you think... ! When my boyfriend and I got here, there was... a little Sora without any parents. He was only six, so we sort of adopted him. He's been with up for almost two years now.

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

A little Sora? I remember one here two years ago.. He's still here?

[she's curious about the boyfriend part, too, but she'll put that question off for later.]

[heavensxcloud.livejournal.com]

[Just when he was about to give up looking for the day and head back to his room to rest, Cloud spots a rather familiar looking female in a pink dress. Despite having ended up behind her in the hallway, Aerith is pretty unmistakable. Now that he's actually found her though... he's not sure what to say.]

...

((OOC: Aaaah Final Fantasy characters keep popping up on the weekend I need to get things done for my finals. @_@ Sorry if I am super slow to tag back, but I wanted to throw him in here.))

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

[Cloud's presence is pretty unmistakable to her as well-- she pauses, then turns very slightly, catching a glimpse from the corner of her eye. she had been smiling slightly beforehand, remembering what she can of the dressing room, but now she's smiling wider.]

... Cloud?

[ooc; no worries! finals come first. C:]

[heavensxcloud.livejournal.com]

[He's not returning that smile, but it's not because he isn't happy to see her. He really is, it's just... complicated. At least the first Zack he saw here was a teenager, so it took some of shock out seeing him alive.]

... Hey Aerith.

[Well at least he got something to come out of his mouth.]

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

What, not happy to see me?

[folds her hand behind her back, teasing.]

[heavensxcloud.livejournal.com]

[Makes a face, looking away from her.]

Of course I am. It's just...

[Been so long? You're dead in the world I'm from? I don't know how to face you? He's not even sure how to end that sentence.]

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[heavensxcloud.livejournal.com]

... In the end, I couldn't save you. Or anyone else.

[He has no idea if she's from the same sort of world as he is, but, it's the truth.]

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

I don't understand. Wasn't Radiant Garden restored?
