[ It begins with a shaky video feed as the owner adjusts communicator. The shakiness stops and a woman takes a step back to show herself on screen. The woman looks very much like Sophie, except it looks like she has grown a few years older and now possesses a more mature figure. While she may look physically older, her personality hasn't changed much. ]

Hi, everyone. I hope I'm using it correctly... I've never really used the network much the first time I was here. Sorry.

[ Sophie twirls in a circle, giving her white dress a little spin. She wants to show off a little! ]

I was thinking Pascal would have found a way to make me fifty feet tall and shoot lasers from my eyes. Lasers are fun, I heard. [ And then Cheria objected against it. ] But... being this way is fine too, I guess. I had a dream once where I grew up looking this way.

I never thought it would really happen.

[ Then she clasps her hands together, smiling. ]

Now that I'm back, I'll do my best to help everyone. My name's Sophie.

Kaneis! Hello, it's good to see you. [ Or more like... hear. She's going to keep recording video on her end. ]

[Hey it's not like they live in the same place or something!]

Yeah, you too! But...how'd you get all older?

[ ...if he's home, he could probably hear her talking out loud to her communicator. Echo~ ]

I merged with a being called the Little Queen. Umm... it's kind of a weird story. [ And maybe a long one. ] And, she gave me her tears... I can cry now. I've never been able to do that before.

[With his hearing? He sure can. And he's noticing so he's getting up to head over to wherever she is in the apartment]

The little Queen, huh?

That's really something...so can you age now and all that?

[protectyou]

...No, I can't. I think I'm just stuck looking this way now. It's fine.

[ And when she senses someone near the front of her room, she pops open the door right away! ]

Kaneis?

[wilder]

Oh...I see.

[He sees her and waves a little]

Hey! Wow, you do look all grown up!

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Lasers?

What are those?

[protectyou]

They're beams of light. [ That doesn't explain too much... ] You've never seen them before?

... Sounds like something from Psionics...
