[Squall still hadn't quite grown accustomed to this Garden of the future. It was strange, all the different faces in a place that was... ... ...well home, for lack of anything else. He'd missed a lot. Still he was part of Garden and he just had to get used to it. ...If he could get over his natural anti-social tendencies. He didn't really talk to people much of his own volition, but he'd been walking around more than he might have if this were the right time period, noticing things, matching faces with ranks and just getting a general idea of who all these people were.

Today you can find him in one of three places as I shamelessly rip off Japan's log format yep:

A You see Squall in the Quad, examining the Home Ec class's garden. At least until he gets too close to a certain tree and a flock of birds take flight, diving straight for him. Yes that is your Commander covering his head and trying to get away from a swarm of angered animals. No there's no dignity today.

B You see Squall in the Garage. He's looking over the latest cars Garden's acquired, hey he likes cool things what can he say. Goes with the belts. Too bad it'd be a total abuse of authority to take these out for a joyride...

C You see Squall in the Training Center, taking out some grats with a frown on his face. Hey the Commander's got to stay in shape too! It's really convenient Time Compression brought his gunblade along, he'd hate to have to ask where present Squall's is. Or present Squall is in general. ...He seriously hopes present Squall isn't dead or something, wow maybe he should stop thinking about this. Back to taking out those grats.]

[ Option A! Vanille had been chilling out in the quad when she spotted the Commander, and was about to go over and strike up a conversation— probably about the flowers... When he gets attacked by a Wild Flock of Angry Birds.

Welp. She'll rush over to try to help, anyway! ]

Shoo! Go away..!

[Oh he... sort of remembers her. ...He's a jerk lmao. But he tries to wave the birds off some more before pointing at the door.]

Inside.

[You know, where they have to cease and desist, surely... right? sob]

[brightens]

Right! [ She gets it! And she keeps trying to wave the birds off while she circles around him and pushes against the small of his back. ]

Go, go, go!

[Getting... shoved towards the door I guess lmao NOT A STRANGE DAY AT ALL but he will stop acting like an awkward emo kid and make a break for the door before looking back to check she's alright once he's there.]

[brightens]

[ She's there right behind him, sighing heavily when the door slides closed behind them. ]

Phew..! Ah...

You must've done something to make them mad, huh? You alright?

[paradoxdestined.livejournal.com]

[...] Looks that way.

[But he nods. He's fine.]

You?

[...Wait.]

It's Vanille. Right? [...] We met when I first came back.

[brightens]

That's right! [ She seems quite elated to the fact, giggling to add: ] You remembered.

I'm fine. They're just birds, huh?

[paradoxdestined.livejournal.com]

If I forgot twice I'd be pathetic.

[He's not that old sob.]

Somehow I don't remember so many animals being here. In my time at least. It's a lot more...

[Looking out the door at the quad.]

...It looks more like people live here.

[Whatever that means. Something. He doesn't necessarily think it's a bad thing...]

I like it.

[brightens]

Mm, if you forgot again, I'd just have to tell you until you had it memorized!

[ She follows his gaze, leaning forward a little. ]

It's probably due to Time Compression, huh? Bringing all these people in from different worlds... It was nice of them to invite all of us to stay here... And to teach us how to be SeeDs, too!

[ But she nods. ] I like it, too. It's kind of like having a big family all over again.

[ She's always been a big fan of community spirit! ]

... ... ...

[He's not sure what to say that. Going "well this is all my fault" seems pretty dumb. So... he will... just let that part drop. It's easier.]

Do you have a lot of people waiting for you back on your world?

[brightens]

Not anymore. They're all here, now!

[ And she seems pretty happy about that. ]
