It's time, it's time for tea!

[Stanley is inside his little cave with a great many plants in it; quite a lot are NPC talking plants doing their thing. What he says sounds innocent until he hefts an onion up.]

Let us enjoy!

[Stanley puts said onion in his mouth and rears back like he's taking a sip.]

I made it a bit too strong...

(OOC: Guess I'd better put my money where my mouth is, huh?)

[Ah, the majestic heights of Kefka's Tower, the home of the planet's most powerful entity.

Sure, it could be easily mistaken for a giant monster-infested garbage heap, but that's just part of its rustic charm!

Descending from the slopes of one such heap is a certain Troll. Now, what could he be doing?]

Kefka? Keeeefka?

[He doesn't know that Kefka idled out, poor guy. For now, it looks as if he's not going to get any answers.

SCHRACK]

A-AAAAHHHHHHH!

[Gravity, however, never idles out! Stanley is rolling down the trash slopes, and he disappears into the distance - but if your ears are good, you may hear some high-pitched humming...]

[Aqua's sitting on the mountainside, where she and her friends used to train. But she looks scared, and she's sitting with a jacket wrapped around her.]

I don't know how it happened, but I think I've gone back in time. Terra and Ven are here, we haven't had the Mark of Mastery exam yet...

The last thing I remember was a strange blank reply to my last journal entry, and an unfamiliar statue in the courtyard. Then I blacked out and found myself here, with them.
