[It's New Feather season, and there's a redhead with yellow wings looking a little bit lost as she wanders through the village. She can be found looking in the clothes shop and the item shop, then stopping to look at the windows of the flower shop, looking a little bit dazzled.

Eventually, she'll settle in front of the fountain and leaf through the first few pages of her journal.]

[Vanille's in her normal clothes when the video starts, and she looks just a little skeptical before she realizes that it's actually working. She gets technology, but this? This is a little strange.]

Oh, so this does work! I've never talked through a book before.

[She laughs a little, seeming all too pleased with herself, and waves.]

I'm Vanille! I guess it's pretty clear by the first part that I'm new around here, huh? It's nice to meet you!

[A moment's pause.]

...I guess you get a lot of people looking for their friends when they first get here, and I'm probably not the first who's asked, but I have to try. Does anyone know a woman named Fang? Or a woman named Lightning? Or two men, Sazh or Snow, or a boy named Hope? Or a girl about my age, named Serah...they couldn't have brought little Dajh here, he's way too young to be away from his daddy...

Right! If you're there, well, I'll be by the fountain!

And I have a question for everyone else! Is it always so pretty like this? It must be nice, having the forest so close. And the mountains, too! Even if there are monsters or something out there, I want to see all of it!

Vanille... You're back. [ There was something about her that was likable and friendly. Tenten remembers how she wrote a brief newbie's guide about showing up and observations about arrivals and departures and then promptly disappeared. Tenten's lost access to it by now, but it's interesting to see her again. ]

I've been here for about a year and a half now. When I first arrived, I talked to you shortly after I showed up and then you went home. [ Someone had to break the news to her. ] It's nice to see you're still okay! Even if I wish that you weren't here cause Luceti isn't all that pleasant sometimes.

Back?

[Vanille honestly sounds confused, but she hears Tenten out before she says anything else.]

Things always happen for a reason, I reckon. I don't remember being here before, but that's okay. The important thing is that we can be friends again, right?

[She smiles brightly.]

Even if this place is hard sometimes, having friends by your side will always make those hard times easier.

[ Tenten giggles. ] Both of those are true! I have plenty of friends here that make things easier, even if I feel guilty about that. I was just telling you cause I thought you had the right to know. Just in case anyone else recognizes you, although, a lot of people have left since you left, and I didn't know too many people that knew you.

I really appreciate it. It feels a little bit weird to not remember being here, but sometimes it happens, I guess. It happened to a friend of mine back home, but that was after years of being asleep that she didn't remember. So maybe it's kind of the same thing?

[Vanille isn't going to worry about it too much, at any rate. She knows now, and she'll extend a hand to anyone that knew her before, of course, but the important thing now is to move forward.]

Well, any friend of mine then is still a friend of mine now. We'll just make new memories! I just hope no one's too upset that I don't remember.

I guess it could be, but it's a bit different here. You only remember Luceti if you're in Luceti, and sometimes you don't remember Luceti at all.

[ She nods at her observation. ]

However, not remembering Luceti is a common enough occurrence to where people won't think twice about it. You're safe.

[Vanille tilts her head, nodding at the explanation.]

Ah, I see. So that's probably why I don't remember anything.

Phew! Well, that's a load off. I'll still make sure to be friendly, though. It never hurts, does it?

Friends are the most important aspect of this place. Time stands still, so you can't do anything power wise to advance, but the relationships you make her help pass the time much more usefully than anything else. [ Tenten remains bright about this point with Vanille. She's good to know that she's the same girl she knew all those years ago. ]
