[network] @Summoner; All grown up--again | Video | Day 123[mostly open/one filtered]

[ When the Video feed comes on, there's a very sheepish-looking Sheena on those tablets still capable of receiving video. There's also a very different set to her features--which those who had seen her in the past day or so would more than likely notice immediately.

As if she had matured.

Clearing her throat, she begins. ]

Hello, everyone. As you can see--and hear--I am back to normal after my "revival". I'm not exactly sure why I was affected the way I was, but I owe many of you an apology for making you worry about me and for some of the things I said to you during that time.

I also owe Doctor House an apology for the way I acted towards him. [ Can you handle that, Doc? ]

Again, I'm sorry for making all of you worry, and if anyone has any questions about anything I said or did or where I was [ She remembers calling it only "the creepy place" ], I'll be happen to explain.

Thanks.

[ The public feed ends. ]

[ Private Video to Sora ]

Sora, if you're seeing this, please get in touch with me.

[He's very relieved to see that Sheena is back to normal and a bit surprised when he sees that filtered portion of her post.]

Is everything alright?

Yes, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for breaking my promise to you.

And to see how you're doing.

[ Referring, of course, to his dream and the aftermath of being in the funeral home. Hmmm. Maybe she's still keeping her promise after all? ]

You don't have to apologize. [His expression is soft and sadly--understanding.] You couldn't control what was going on, Sheena. I'm just glad you're okay!

[That both she AND Leon were okay.]

I'm..alright. I'm heading downtown at the moment. [He knows what she means, he does, but it's hard to talk about all that since it's still so fresh in his mind.] ...I'll be alright. I think I've got my head on straight now. I know what I need to do.

Yes, I do. And I could have. [ She could have gone with Leon's plan, but she wanted everyone to have a shot at surviving. ]

I'm glad you're okay, too. [ She pauses. ] But if you need to talk--about anything--I'll be willing to listen.

[ She's not referring to just his dream this time. But whatever's on his mind. ]

Please don't blame yourself. I'm just glad you're back.

[And he means that. All that matters to him at this point is that everyone is alive.]

...Thank you, Sheena. I'll keep that in mind. I'm--I'm okay right now. I feel a lot better than I did.

[ She doesn't respond to his first comment. ]

Relatively speaking, I'm glad to be back to my "older" self, too.

[ Although, now she wants to play hide and seek... ]

I mean it. [ Big Sis!Sheena is there, Sora. ] I'm glad you're doing better. Where are you right now?

[A soft huff of laughter escapes Sora as he smiles.]

I would be too.

[That would be an interesting game to attempt in this place.]

Cloud and I are in the ice tunnels right now, heading downtown.

[ There's a chuckle on her end. ]

At least the growing up was faster this time!

[ Considering the only building she's seen that can handle it is the hospital right now...definitely. That also means people gotta be fast in searching. ]

Ah. I'm still in the hospital. I did a little exploring today to get back into the habit. Like she had really forgotten. I'm supposed to be meeting Leon at that building right before the tunnel with the ice spires? You know the one that leads to the post office?

[ At least they're all in the same general area? ]

Yeah! It was overdrive growing up!

[Sora's just glad that both she and Leon are alright and meeting up from the sounds of it!]

Cloud and I went through the tunnel the other day! We actually stayed the night in the post office so I definitely know where it is!

That's putting it mildly!

[ One minute, seven; the next 19/20. Talk about a growth spurt.

Sheena's pretty glad, too. Although, the ninja's a little upset that Leon hadn't quite made it out alive. ]

Yeah, this'll be my second time staying there. The first was right before I got downtown.

And then got shuffled back away from it.

[ She's been trying to get back ever since. ]

srsly?
whatever ninjagirl
my life was
somehow
not wrecked by 7-year-old you

You just can't take an apology, can you?

[ Gods, does it feel good to be her age again. ]

it's a stupid apology for something that didn't bother me

[So that's a 'no.']

Well, maybe it bothered me.

There was a point when I wanted to kick you.

[ Sometimes she still does. ]

i see
so this is about making you feel better
that makes more sense

Not only can't you take an apology, I'll bet you've never given one before, have you?

It's an acknowledgement of doing something wrong--which I did.

[ Hey, at least someone isn't telling her to say it. This is of her own free will. ]

sure i have!
i can apologize right now
i'm sorry you suck balls at unnecessary apologies
golly i feel better about things now

[ It takes her a few moments to respond because she's sighing heavily. ]

You know, you can be a real ass at times.

only "at times"?
golly!
gotta work on keeping it up

Yeah, you're becoming rusty, House.

Maybe it's the cold.

[ Slowing the brain cells down. ]

i'll be sure to keep it in mind just for you, kid

I feel so special now.

Not sure why you owe anyone an apology for something you couldn't control.

Welcome back, Sheena.

[ Why do people keep saying that? ]

Because I acted inappropriately. Did and said things I shouldn't have.

I mean, it was still me, you know.

[ A beat. ]

Thanks. It's nice to be back. [ Relatively speaking. Back home would be better. ]

[Maybe because it's true?]

Still you, maybe, but you weren't in your normal state of mind, and we were all strangers to you. No one can hold that against you.

Though now I have to wonder, do I remind you of people you know?

[ Not from her point of view. At least Kunsel's not being an ass like a certain doctor. ]

Are you telling me that it's perfectly okay to act that way if the people around you are strangers?

[ She's a tricky one, Kunsel. ]

Oh. Yeah. I did think you were a knight, didn't I?

Is it okay if someone who's delirious says or does things that are rude?

[He can be just as tricky.]

Yeah, I think you did.

I wasn't delirious. I had just forgotten a lot, that's all. So, just because I had amnesia doesn't excuse the way I acted.

[ The bright side? She hadn't kicked House like she had wanted to.

She blushes as she explains. ]

Oh. Yeah. Sorry about that. It was because of the helmet.

[ As an adult, though, she can say he looks more like a Desian, but man, one insult to him is enough. ]

[...isn't that actually the downside?]

How old did you even think you were? How many years of your memory did you lose?

[Because she'd sounded and behaved pretty young.]

I guess it would be pretty easy for someone who'd forgotten that much to group anyone with armor together.

[He wouldn't get the insult unless she explained anyway.]

[ Really Kunsel...encouraging a kid to kick an adult. Tsk.

She sighs. ]

I thought I was seven years old. So, I lost a lot of time.

[ Nooot exactly the best time of her life--as people had heard. ]

Well, anyone with helmets, anyway. She chuckles. At least you don't wear the same armor they do! [ Frozen Kunsel in a can.

Nah. She's not gonna do that to him. ]

[Well, you know, Kunsel's sense of age-appropriate activities is a little bit skewed anyway. Thanks, ShinRa.]

Right. So, when was the last time you blamed an adult for their behavior when they were seven?

Is their armor that intimidating? Or is it just inappropriate for the weather?

[ Well...technically, she had been trained to do it...but that's not the same as encouraging. ~~That's her story, and she's sticking to it.~~ ]

You mean other than myself? [ She's serious, by the way. ] Never. [ Oh, shush. ]

They wear metal all over their body. So basically...wildly inappropriate for any weather. But very apporpriate for use against weapons.
