I'M NOT DEAD!!!!

I dunno if I've been missing or something for the last 22 years, but I'm fine, I swear!! Time compression got all weird and I guess I found my way back to the right place, but not the right time. Unless this ends up getting fixed, and I get sent back to my real time, so no one even noticed I was gone, but then does that mean there's a 40-year-old version of me walking around?

... ... ... ... I'll worry about that later! SQUALL, Rinoa, Selphie, Quistis, ANYONE!! Did anyone else make it through, or am I the only one that screwed up? Oh man, am I the only one here?!!!

How's Ma doing?! Is she okay?!

Guys, get a hold of me AS SOON AS YOU SEE THIS!!!

Calm down, lad. I'm sure you'll get it all sorted out soon enough. Do you need any help getting situated?

Don't worry, Selphie's here!

I think she's the only one though.

[zell_dincht]

Instructor? Never heard of you! When did ya start?

Anyway, thanks for the offer, but I know my way around. I'll be all right! Just hope my friends are okay...

[zell_dincht]

WHAT!!!! She's the only one?! What happened to everyone else?!

Lost in Time Compression oughta be a band name.

[Clearly this is the most useful response.]

[espio]

Hey, chill out.

[Hey, he kind of remembers this guy... hasn't he been here a few times before?]

I get that you're in a strange position from your POV, but a lot of us here can't really help you. Except for saying Selphie's here. And the others you've mentioned have been here, but with time being still weird, they've gone again.

And also that yes, there probably is a 40 year old you floating around somewhere.

[thatched]

Brilliant

[seriously. If he were musically inclined he'd be all over that name. Alas]

[thatched]

I doubt you would have, time shenanigans aside. I've been in Trabia for five years. I take it you're a native?

I don't know. Maybe they haven't shown up yet. I mean, she's been back here for a couple of months now and you're just showing up.

Time compression's weird.

SeeD Dincht, welcome back to Garden.

[fierybluebird]

Oh hey! You're alive.

[THE MOST HELPFUL THIS ONE.]

Selphie is here, Squall, Rionoa, Quistis, and Seifer have all made it through fine and come and gone. In fact you've actually been here before too, believe it or not.

and it's icon spam time!

Don't get any ideas you two.

2/?

[selphie_t]

[Huh?]

3/?

[selphie_t]

[So she's not alone in Garden? The gang is making a comeback?!]

4/4

[Not that Zell needs to know how relieved Selphie is at seeing this post.]

ZELL!!! Where are you? And Ma Dincht is fine, promise!

- Selphie

PS: Don't make a gal wait all day or else your dirty little secrets are getting sent to Garden's Tattler. ;)

[thatched]

So cold, Miss Selphie! You could always join us. Be the headliner girl! Just try not to overwhelm Namur with your charm. He's terribly shy.

[zell_dincht]

Yep! I grew up here in Balamb, then joined Garden when I was 13!

So what do you teach?

BBS

[zell_dincht]

Really?! But we all defeated the sorceress at the same time! Thinking about it's kinda making my head hurt...

[om_nom_namur]

And you werent head over heels at first sight? I dont know if i should be impressed or worried.

[zell_dincht]

[At least once before by the same mun 'cause I FORGOT oooppss]

Whew, at least most of 'em found their way back! Thanks!

...Have you ever met 40 year old me? Am I REALLY COOl?!

[zell_dincht]

...COMMANDER?!!! But what happened to Squall?!!

[zell_dincht]

Duh, I've been here before!! Garden's been my home since I was 13!

[He doesn't fully get Marco's meaning by that.]

[thatched]

Oh ho! I bet you know all the best spots. Welcome home then, lad. In a manner of speaking.

I teach leadership and tactics, with occasional courses on wooing the ladies.

[zell_dincht]

[As happy as Zell was to hear that his other friends were already here and left safely, he can't help but selfishly feel glad that at least one of them is still here.]

Yo, Selphie!! Man, I was really starting to worry I was the only one here! Anyway, I'm about to head over to the cafeteria to see if the hot dogs are still any good!

PS: W-what secrets?!! I don't have any secrets!!!
