This isn't what I expected. (Another twist in a story that is overflowing with them. She pushes aside her irritation - and, yes, fear - attempting to adapt. There is no use in complaining; she has fought gods and seen the world renewed. This is only an annoying pitstop until she sees everyone again. That's all.)

Can anyone hear this? (She suspects she is being watched, but what else can she do but push forward?) The name's Lightning.

(Claire belongs with her family. While still dealing with chaos, she is Lightning.)

I'm looking for my family and friends...if... If they came here too. (Something tells her she is alone. Again.) I will need a weapon for self-defense. Something like a gun or a sword will do.

Lighting!

[Whoa, okay, that was way unnecessary and loud. But the last time he saw you, you were kind of in the middle of fighting Caius.]

Am I glad to see you.

Noel... (He is one of the last people she would expect to see. Forgive her being a little puzzled, though her smile is ready enough.) I'm glad to see you too. Is there anyone else from our world here?

[Boy does he not want to tell her that Serah isn't here and he isn't sure where, exactly, she ended up after they jumped through that last portal.]

No. At least, not that I know of. [There might be and he just hasn't found them yet, but he doesn't think so.] But, Serah was fine the last time I saw her. She's probably back with Hope by now.

(She knows where Serah ends up. Noel doesn't have much to fear in that regard, though she is aggravated that, once again, she has been taken from her.)

She is with Snow, actually. (Hope might be there too. Lightning will catch up with everyone eventually.) I saw the end and the beginning.

Hi Lightning! I'm Ted! Which is a real name, something I'm not sure yours is. Might I have the genuine article?

[Someone didn't get the serious memo.]

Speaking of names, your request depends entirely on who these family and friends are. I'd need a little more to go on. Well, I'm a little leery about handing out weaponry to strangers. Why would anyone want to attack you anyway? Have you been picking fights not minutes after your entrance?

Hmm, I could meet you half-way. How does wrestling sound? I could show you a thing or two!

Why can't my name be Lightning? Maybe my parents liked weather patterns.

(She can be sarcastic too, Ted. Also nice teeth.)

I'm looking for my sister; her name is Serah Farron. But there are others too. Her fiancé is a tall blonde named Snow Villiers - and yes that is his real name. Then there are two women: Oerba Yun Fang and Oerba Dia Vanille. There's a boy...or a man...depending on the timeline named Hope Estheim; he has white hair. And, lastly, there is a man named Sazh Katzroy.

Is that better?

(Lightning purses her lips.)

I've been a soldier for a long time. I don't feel right being defenseless.

(Her eyes widen.)

Wrestling...? You definitely have an advantage.

Haha, you raise an excellent point. I should know better than to suppose parents to be solemn about these things.

[Thanks! He brushes practically every day. Sometimes twice.]

Ah...no, none of those equally queer names ring a bell. But you never know; they might arrive soon after to keep company. Until then, you'll have to settle for strangers like me.

[He says with a glinting grin.]

Goodness, what soldier doesn't know some CQC? You can at least make a fist, a luxury the clawed among us can't indulge.

Heh, of course I do! Wouldn't be much of a teacher otherwise, eh? I mean, true, I'm heavier and male which backs you further into the corner. Yet therein lies the beauty of the art: natural advantage can be overcome with leverage and technique.

You're still by The Bay?

Fortunately there's a directory... [Quickly shows her how to use it.] But if they're not here, give me their names and descriptions, and I'll keep an eye out for them like my kid's friends.

Thanks. (She looks over him before nodding.) Serah Farron is my younger sister. She has hair the same color as mine, but she is shorter - more...delicate. Her fiancé is taller than both of us with blonde hair and a lot of muscles. His name is Snow Villiers.

Let's start with them. I don't want to overwhelm you.
