chasingstorms | [Serah Farron - 001 Video] The beginning of it all (New Bark)

[The camera feed swings around slightly as it shows a young woman squinting at a door in confusion in between trying to figure out what had just happened. This doesn't make sense at all.]

Go on a journey? But I already was! Where's Noel? and Mog?

[The camera feed finally gets straightened out so that Serah can into it with a completely baffled look on her face.]

What happened? This doesn't look like anywhere on Pulse at all. Time couldn't have changed things this much, could it? Noel....what's going on!?

[Of course he's not exactly around to answer her.]

I hope they're both okay wherever they are. I wonder what happened, maybe something went wrong? Or maybe...

[Maybe jumping into a supposed time portal with the guy she'd met only yesterday had been a bad idea. No, she's not going to doubt him so easily. She can't afford to give up yet. After all he'd promised that- hey wait a minute that's it!]

Lightning! [He'd promised to take her to see her sister! So that means she has to be here! Suddenly her expression changes and she stares into the camera with a hopeful look on her face] If anyone's watching does anyone know a woman named Lightning Farron? Please, it's really important!

[Oh wait, she's leaving one lousy first impression isn't she. Though the shivering she's doing probably isn't very impressive either. She's dressed for Bodhum weather not this... whatever this is.]

Oh, I'm so sorry! My name's Serah Farron and I guess it's probably pretty obvious that I'm new to wherever this is. So you see, Lightning's my big sis and I haven't seen her in a really long time. So if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

[Okay, now she can turn it off. She'd figure out what to say before she turned it on next time. For now it's off to find somewhere warm, because it's clear that lady isn't going to let her back in.]

Oh good. That should make things a little easier to deal with.

[Though maybe a little boring. Can pokemon be trained indoors? Hm.]

So what exactly do people do here? Beside travel for days to reach cities and train pokemon that is.

[Snow means well, it just doesn't always end well. So meaning well certainly isn't enough to save his hide.]

[Why not? She likes that two piece. ~~And it's even canon in a sense.~~]

If we get lucky.

[Which Lightning never counts on. As for the training...probably only if they huddle in the gyms. Not many other places are big enough.]

Work, mostly. Or just live with their friends and families here, while they can. There isn't much else to do.

[Meaning well is enough to save his assets, but not his nose. That's going to get broken the second Lightning finds him again. Perhaps more than once.

Because it shows too much skin and bbsis doesn't need to show off everything. Not even on the beach.]

I'm sure we'll manage just fine.

[Serah can be the one who counts for both of them then. Probably for the best if they don't then, no need to trash their rooms.]

That sounds.... nice. [She means it too. Just normal day to day living with her big sis? That's super nice. She'll just have to remember not to dwell on thoughts of Snow too much, because that'd certainly put a damper on things.]

[Broken noses are a pain though, maybe just a couple of black eyes? They hurt but do less long term damage.]

[It covers up the important bits and more beside that! She's got to work on her tan somehow!]

Yeah. We'll just have to be careful, that's all.

[Serah will have to be the one who counts for both of them...and trashed rooms are cold rooms. No training until storms blow over!]

It is. It can be tricky to adjust at first, but once you do...it kind of becomes home. [Missing family will always ache, but those that are here will always be loved. Always.

She may be after the long term damage, though. Keeps him from doing it again...or so she hopes.

Okay fine. But not that two piece. Get something that covers more important bits and she won't be so frowny about it.]

Right. Of course we'll be careful.

[Lightning's no fun. No, not really. Cold rooms are icky rooms, so Serah will pass on that idea.]

Home. [She tries the word, but she's still uncertain if this place far away from Cocoon and Pulse can truly be home for her when so many of their family isn't here. She'll try and remain optimistic about it though.] Maybe you're right.

[And what if his nose gets stuck all crooked or weird forever? Would Light really do that to Serah? Because that's just mean.]

[They can cross that particular hurdle when it comes time to shop for swimsuits.]

[A nod; you'd better be careful, bbsis. Big sis can still raise hell if she has to.]

Maybe. If I'm not, just think of it as a vacation.

[Yes, she would. Because Snow promised to stay and he broke that promise and it hurt a bit, okay? Just be glad she's not going for something more important.

That hurdle, and the one of getting Light into a damned two piece again, will get crossed. At the beach. In Olivine.]

[Just wait, she'll have high level pokemon one day too and then they can really have it out. So there!]

I'll try. [It has Lightning here, that's already a good start.] It seems nice here, it shouldn't be too hard.

[Gosh. Big sisters, can't live with them and can't live without them.]
