[One ∞ Video] -- [New Bark Town]
[Ever have that moment where you're just waking up, still drowsy, eyes barely opened, and you look at your surroundings, and somehow, they're totally different than you remember. Completely. Because you're relatively sure you went to sleep in a dusty little inn located in some sleepy little village with nothing going for it but a mako reactor and a creep old mansion and not a field of reasonably soft, incredibly itchy grass.
That is the exact moment Zack is having right now.
Once the intinal panic of waking up in a place so utterly different than the one you fell asleep in, he proceeds to struggle for no less than twenty minutes trying to figure out what the in the world this white and red ball thing he's been given is and why it keeps shaking every time he tries to open it. Thankfully, it takes a lot less time to figure out the device he's been given, scanning in the bracelet located upon his wrist and realizing it wasn't all that different from the PHS he'd used before.
Which is why everyone is now going to get the pleasure of being greeted by an overly bright, enuthusiastic smile. He's seated on the ground, near the main road, the female vulpix curled up in his lap, head resting upon one of his thighs.]
Did anyone else go to sleep somewhere else last night? Because I gotta say, this is the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. [And that's saying something.] This place is pretty great though. They even give out free pets. [There's a small rustling coming from his lap as the vulpix moves, looking pointedly up at him, completely unimpressed.
She is not a 'pet', thank you very much.] Okay! Okay, I'm sorry. You're not a pet. You're a... Pokémon? I think that's what they said I was supposed to call you. They even give out free Pokémon. That better?
[Satisified, she settles down again.] Anyway, this place is great and all, but I'm needed somewhere else. So if anyone could tell me how to get back to Nibelheim, I'd really appreciate it.
[There's a moment's hesitation, as if he wants to say something else, before he decides against it, one leather clad hand falling to gently brush through the vulpix's fur before ending the transmission.]

A really weak one.
If this was Aerith, he would have been out of sorts but he would have been able to compose himself. But it was Zack and there was a lot of history there, a lot of pain and so many open wounds even now that Cloud just couldn't...
It was probably going to take the full trek back to Cherrygrove for him to properly prepare himself. And fill Basch in on what was going on.]
It's..about a five day hike from where we are back to Cherrygrove so just..wait for me, alright?
Video
[Five days seemed like such an incredibly long time to wait for answers when he so desperately wanted them.
But Cloud had always been stubborn, and once he set his mind to something, there was no changing it. Which meant if he was determined to tell Zack in person, there wasn't going to be any dragging it out him prematurely.]
Take care of yourself, okay? No getting in trouble without me.
