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.]

I have to admit that Lighning and I are not very close ... [ But Lacus was curious about her, but not the type to pry. ]

I have to say I know how you feel ...

Before I decided to live on Earth, I never experienced many winter months ...

... maybe there is a store in New Bark that sells warm clothes?

She can be hard to get to know sometimes. Don't give up!

[Serah will support you Lacus! See?]

I wonder if that woman gave me one. [She hasn't checked her bags yet.] She said she gave me food, so maybe there's clothes in this bag too?

[The video rocks as Serah moves to dig through it and find out. She finds... nothing weather appropriate at all.]

Well... I guess that jacket's better than nothing.

[So she's going to put that on really quick, hope Lacus doesn't mind. It's better than going sleeveless at least.]

[ Giggling. ] I won't. Thank you for the encouragement.

Well ... it is much better now, but I still must insist that you wear more proper clothing. I don't believe that is enough ...

... oh dear, but I am in Violet right now. I wish I could be of more help.

Great!

[Speaking of family resemblance, Serah might just adopt Lacus. Their hair color is close enough that they might as well be sisters too.]

There don't seem to be many houses here let alone stores to buy clothes. This might be the best I can do until I hit the next city.

[Oh wait, hang on a second. The feed goes all funny for a moment, but soon Serah has a new Eevee stole hanging out on her shoulders. How's that? Snow doesn't seem to mind, he's getting a free ride!]

There. [She giggles.] A new neckwarmer.

[Not that he'll stay there long term. Having 15 pounds draped around your neck get's tiring after a while. It'll do for random occasions though.]

[ Lacus would love sisters. She is an only child, so that would be a wonderful dream to her. ]

I may be able to help when you reach Violet ...

I have some clothes that may help. I am not sure if we are the same size however.

[ Seeing the eevee reminder her of her own Eevee, Adam. ]

An Eevee! How wonderful ... is he your partner? What is his name?

[Then it's settled. Serah will so adopt her sometime in the future.]

Lightning said it would take me three days to reach the nearest city.

[She's not very happy with how that sounds.]

Thanks. I'm not very big, so I'm sure it'd be okay.

[Oh yes, let's talk about her new favorite thing! Good idea!]

That's right! His name is Snow. [At his name the Eevee wiggles his ears cheerfully.]

Snow! That is a very pretty name ...

Hello, Snow. It is very nice to meet you.

[ Lacus giggles. She was amused by how Serah really happy about her partner. ]

I have an Eevee as well and his name is Adam ...

Maybe he and Snow can meet some time.

Thanks.

[The pretty comment makes Serah laugh a little.]

I named him after my fiance.

You have an Eevee too? They'll definitely have to meet sometime.

I do and I do love him so ---

Ara? A fiance?

That is so sweet of you.

There was a cat back home, he was named Snow too. I think this Snow is cuter.

[Sorry Snow the cat!]

That's right. We've been engaged for a while now.

[Try well over three years, alas.]

Thanks.

[ Lacus was quiet ... and her smile looked a little forced. She was troubled by ... something but she didn't want to bother a new friend. ]

You must miss him a lot ...

[Serah's quick to pick up on the fact that something's bothering the other girl.]

I do, but it's okay. [She reaches up to brush her fingers over the pendant around her neck briefly.] Because he's still with me even in another world.

[They are such a sappy couple. Now onto that concerning tightness in her smile and the way her voice seemed off. Teacher's notice things okay?]

Is... everything alright?

Huh? I-I'm sorry ... yes ... I'm alright.

[ She gives a bright smile to show her that she was indeed alright. ]

I was just remembering someone from home ...

Someone you miss back home? That must be really hard.

[Serah smiles softly.]

If you ever want to talk about them, I'm willing to listen. Okay?

I'm sorry to worry you ...

Don't worry. I will be fine ...

[ ... but she is touched by the offer. ]

Thank you, Serah. If it hurts too much ... then I will come to you.

You've offered to help me so much, it's the least I could do.

Alright, if you ever need me you know how to find me. Okay?

[ Nods. ] I do ...

... thank you, Serah.
