_{[It's dark, and the sound of boots on gravel are all that can be heard at first. It's not an out-of-control run like the last transmission, though. After a couple of seconds, the screen turns to show Heather's face, fairly faint but slightly illuminated by the glow of the screen as she walks.]}

So uh... yeah. Looks like I finally got to Cherrygrove. Better stylishly late than pathetically never, right?

_{[Though she looks far from stylish-- still covered in mud and scrapes from the Great Sentret Chase, and though it's sort of hard to tell with the crappy light the screen provides, she looks pretty darn tired too-- rubbing those eyes with a grimy fist. Still wearing an exhausted grin though.]}

Seems like a pretty nice little place. More happenin' than that first one... though not by much ...

Anyway... those of you who've been here, are we allowed to crash at those Center places, or are there hotels...? Or what? ... Oh yeah, and if there's not a laundromat, I think I may in fact have myself a pretty epic freakout session because I'm a walking mud pie and it's damaging my calm.

Yeah, I'm gonna hit that place up as soon as I've found something better to eat than stale trail mix... did the center have working showers, by any chance? If I go any longer without a bath, I'm pretty sure I'll wind up transforming into some kind of hideous monster and rampage through Tokyo.

... Or. Well. I guess Tokyo isn't anywhere near here, but... yeah.

They do. I probably would have gone crazy without one.

What world is Tokyo in?

Oh my god, it's about time I heard SOMETHING reassuring! I was on the verge of just jumping headfirst into a pond.

... Wait, huh?

_{[Yeah. Leave it to an Otherworld survivor to have not worked out the fact that not everybody here is from Earth until now. You can practically see the cogs in her head working.]}

Um... you know... the real one?

_{[It occurs to her immediately that was a sort of stupid thing to say-- no way a kid as sweet and open as Kairi or any of that group she's roaming around with could possibly be talking about the various shades of twisted reality that are what occurs to Heather whenever she thinks about multiple worlds. DURRRR, HEATHER. Not everybody's as fucked-up as you are.]}

Uh-- I mean. Y'know. _{[somewhat lamely]} Earth?

_{[She pauses for a moment, and then speaks up again, visibly baffled.]} Where are you from??

_{[Forgive her, Kairi. She's not as interdimensional-travel-savvy as some!]}

Earth, huh? I've never heard of that one. Maybe Sora's been there...

Destiny Islands!

_{[If Kairi had been anything but polite before now, Heather just might have stared solidly at the screen for five minutes before saying very plainly 'Are you fucking with me?'. But-- darnit, there's something about these kids that just makes it hard to assume they're being anything but earnest. So she just blinks several times and lets that sink in.]}

You've never heard of Earth?

_{[... Okay, you know what? She's just gonna ignore that for now and think about it more when she's not so tired that she's not entirely sure this surreal conversation isn't a dream.]}

Destiny Islands... I can't say I've heard of that, either. _{[Sounds like some kind of fancy Hawaiian resort for rich people...]} Is it. Um. Is it nice there? _{[Heather you are bad at making conversation when you're flabbergasted.]}

I haven't. But I've probably seen it without even realizing it.

It is! It's basically summer all the time there, and the water is bright blue.

_{[...Wh- ..... um. How do you see Earth without realizing it? Does it have to do with out of body experiences? Ohmygod this is way too metaphysical for Heather right now. HALP.]}

I-- ... oh. Okay.

_{[And ... damn, that really DOES sound like Hawaii. Which is why Heather promptly blurted out, without really thinking it through beforehand--] Are there volcanos?

_{[... Heather... just.... sleep. Just sleep.]}}
