[Guess who just woke up on the front lawn of the school? That's right. Serah brings herself to a stand and looks around, a very confused expression on her face. This wasn't the setting she was expecting to see when she came to. She turns and looks up at the building, brows knitting together.]

...What...is this place? A school?

[Was she dead? And if so, why did the after life look like a school? Or was this another paradox that had come to happen once they had restored things to the right order? Was Noel there, too? She had so many questions and very few answers to them. So the only thing for her to do is to go search for answers! After all, finding things is one of her specialties. So off she goes, wandering around campus to try and find anyone who can give her some real answers.

Well. Either that or some kind of distortion in the timeline.]

Comments

[paradoxsolver]

[Well, it definitely sounded like this guy was not from the same place she was. She's pretty curious about what he's going to show her, though, so she nods.]

Alright! You can show me, then.

[theheroguy]

Here goes! ... HAA!

[And in a flash of light, his hair is now golden and standing on end as a glowing aura emanates from him.]

[paradoxsolver]

[That makes her jump, looking pretty shocked!]

Wow! That's amazing! Your eye color even changed...

[theheroguy]

Pretty cool, right? And this is only the first level.

[paradoxsolver]

What does it mean, though? Are you more powerful like this?

[Leans in to look at his hair. She's curious!]

[theheroguy]

Yeah, I reckon I'm somewhere round... maybe 50 times stronger like this?

[paradoxsolver]

Wow...That's pretty impressive!

[Leans back with a smile.]

[theheroguy]

I know, right? And there's at least another two levels beyond it! Although I haven't really mastered level 3 yet...

[paradoxsolver]

Well...I'm sure you have plenty of time to master it now.

[She motions around them with a hand.]

This place seems pretty peaceful.

[theheroguy]

I guess, but I don't think many people want me disruptin' the area with earthquakes just 'cause I'm practicin' my new power up...

[paradoxsolver]

Mm...Yeah, that probably wouldn't be a great idea.

How big is this place, anyway?

[theheroguy]

I dunno, I haven't really charted it...

[strawberrytart]

Y-Yes please, if you wouldn't mind!

[tsunball]

[ .. Huh. She believes him?! This must totally be his lucky day, screw all those other newcomers he had to tell this before, this is the perfect cute and accepting girl! ]

I don't know why it does.. I mean, I guess they want us to go to school, but school in the afterlife would be more like hell than heaven, right? [ He laughs like he just made the best joke ever. ]

[sleepybuster]

[Oh, so she isn't an NPC then and... is a newcomer, on top of that. It's always a little awkward for him to break the news to people, so... he'll just jump to the second question first.]

Eh? Ah... It's... Well, I think it's 2013 here...? [Years later from when he comes from, but.]

[paradoxsolver]

I guess it doesn't really matter much, huh? [She gives him a sheepish smile.]

[paradoxsolver]

[She takes some things from her and holds them.] Where are you headed?

[paradoxsolver]

[She laughs a little and shakes her head. School wasn't such a horrible thing for her, but maybe for school kids...]

Actually, I did a bit of teaching for a while back home, so it isn't so awful to me.

[paradoxsolver]

[Well that didn't make sense. This world didn't look that far in the future...]

I see. Hm...How strange.

[theheroguy]

Planets in the afterlife really can vary a lot in size though! You shoulda seen King Kai's, it was really tiny! ... But then it blew up.

[sleepybuster]

[He nods, trying to be careful with his words.]

What's the year that you remember it being?

[tsunball]

.. Woah! Y.. you're a teacher?

[ Aw, man, there goes all the appeal. Sure, she's cute, but he's basically allergic to school and especially to studying! ]

You don't look like it at all!

[strawberrytart]

I'm heading to the school kitchen! I think if I hole up in there it'll look like I'm doing all of my work all the time and those things will leave me alone, right?

[paradoxsolver]

You've...seen a planet blow up? The place you're from sounds really strange...

[paradoxsolver]

Well...Noel and I had just traveled back to 500 AF.
