Elena

Well, I'm beginning to feel a little better already. At least my head isn't spinning anymore. I can still hear everyone over in the other room- they sure are loud! But I think I'm starting to get back to normal. Thanks a LOT for all of that by the way, Reno- you can be so frustrating sometimes! See if I ever offer to buy you food again...

Anyway, I've had some water and I'm lying down now. So I should be okay soon. Almost all of this horrible nausea is gone, at least. Oh well. I'm a little bored, but I don't really feel up to standing up yet... maybe I'll go read the messageboard and some journals. I've got nothing else to do. Maybe some other people I know have showed up...

Well, I agreed to meet Reno here in front of Cid's Shop... but I guess that didn't work out for him. I'll wait a little longer, but if he doesn't show up, I hope he doesn't expect me to wait around for him all day! I offered to buy him lunch, and if he doesn't feel like taking me up on that- or even seeing me at all, it looks like- then that's his own fault! ...I just hope that nothing seriously bad happened to him. He does have a tendency to get into trouble. But again, that's his own fault!

Ugh. Men.

Anyway, I spoke with Hojo last night. And since nobody else from Shinra seems to be here expect for Reno and I, I told him that I'd help him for right now. I don't really have anything else to do here in Paixao yet, and if anyone can figure out what happened to bring us all here it's him! So I'll just follow his orders for right now... at least until Rufus or maybe Tseng shows up. Because Shinra needs to stick together!

Okay, Reno's not here yet. Great! That's so like him, actually... I don't know why I even expected him to show up in the first place. I'm just going to leav- oh, hold on, it looks like he's logged into his journal! Let me see if I can figure out how to message him... hmm...

I'm outside of this big city... and I don't really know why or how I'm here. All I see is this big, silvery gate, and I don't recognzie it at all. I don't think this is anywhere near Midgar- it really looks nothing like it. But how could I suddenly go from Midgar and wind up... here, with no reason? It doesn't make sense, especially since there are no signs of any kind of kidnapping attempt, or abduction, or even any materia involved. This is very odd. But I guess that since nobody seems to be watching me in particular, I should just... start working on finding my way back. Or find Tseng, or Rude, or Reno, or... someone.

If anyone does happen to know what this place is and where it is in relation to Midgar... I would really appreciate it if you'd let me know.
