[if you look upon the The Fussin' Overlook™  this lovely afternoon, you will notice a giant robot standing with his hands idly on his hips with a serene expression on his face, quietly enjoying the sunset]

[it's also raining like fuck, but he doesn't seem to care.]

[moving stealthily, observes the robot, determines it is probably unlikely to step on her based on its actions towards the--highly unusual beings next to it--are they Espers?]

[leaves her sword sheathed and lets her boot-heels make noise on the cave floor so as not to imply ambush, approaching the rain. It's not full of ashes here. It doesn't smell of burnt foliage and bodies left to rot. When she sticks her hand out to touch it, it doesn't burn.]

....How did you undo the Light of Judgment?

[looking back at Celes's voice and tilting his head before he turns around and steps calmly over, kneeling to face her]

... I don't know what you mean. I didn't do anything. This is all natural.

[looking first at the robot, then out at the non-ruined world]

When I woke up, after a year in a coma, the world was all but destroyed. Plants, animals--all of it was dying.

This must be what people mean when they speak of miracles.

[onlyhonournow]

... I'm sorry to hear that. That must have been very difficult.

I don't know about miracles, but it certainly is a sight for sore eyes.

[ice_and_steel]

Difficult is a word one might use to describe it, yes.

[tilting her head curiously] I have never met a machine that speaks of its own accord. And I am remiss in my manners. My name is Celes.

[onlyhonournow]

I didn't think it was proper to press for details.

[chuckling] I'm Drift. Where I come from, I'm pretty much the norm--to an extent. It's a pleasure.
