>"It was barren and empty."
>"Damn rich people door knobs..."
>Well... yup, that was pretty much it. One barren path, with a bunch of emptiness and weird colors in the distance.
>Now she looks serious. "Then it's more serious then I thought. Technically, it wouldn't be that bad for us if her world disappeared, but it's a little more important for you, mmm? From what I understand, you need Jigen's Transdimensional Space in order to return to your world."
>They don't understand the doorknob comment. You giggle a little in your mind, though!

> "This...  Could be a problem..."
>Damn right it could! Although, you wonder if Estelle would be able to get to you, if Jigen's place disappeared and you were still in your world.
>"I was already kinda worried about her just for being in that kind of situation. I mean...she's technically my next door neighbor now. Is there anything we can do?"
>"If she's that far gone, and the goddess of a different world... well, I'm not sure if anyone would genuinely be able to want to give her faith. Pity, maybe, but you've got to really mean it in order for faith to work! That Sister Masha might know a way to help though, mmm?"
>Veronica mentions how Masha isn't really in a state to help out right now. "Well, drat", says Granny May,  "That's going to get in the way. I'm not sure if I can cure petrification."

>"How much longer do you think Jigen has?"
>"I don't know how much longer. For one, it depends if she's gaining any faith, no matter how little. But if her situation doesn't change soon, I doubt more then a week. Possibly just a day or two.
>"And, well, that's better than us not being able to do anything at all for poor Masha."
>"I'll see what I can do. But if you want her cured in time to help Jigen... well, don't count on me to figure it out that quickly."
>You're now out of the forest! The village is in sight; you'll be arriving any minute now.

>"Mmm, that's not a bad idea. But you don't really know how to use the Orb, correct? I say you'd be more likely to blow her to pieces by accident!" says Granny, cackling afterwards. She's got a point... damn.
>Hooray!
>Onwards to the village, and the perception of relative safety.
>Considering what Lufie said about there being a spy, "relative" safety is probably pretty accurate!
>You head into the village. Stella is there to greet you. "Oh, you brought my Granny Mayhem back! Hiiii Granny~!"
>Granny walks over to Stella and pats her on the head, before turning back to you. "I'll spread the word about what happened, and go check on Sister Masha. And for giving me safe passage out of Wintervale..."
>She holds out her hand, with a card in it!

>You got a BLANK SPELLCARD!

> "Oh SWEETNESS!  Thanks Granny!"
>"Oh, I quite think you'll be needing it. And you deserve it as well; I wouldn't have been able to defeat Lufie in my old age, so I was quite stuck in that deserted town."
>Look at Veronica. "So, uh, how do I use this thing?"
>Does anyone seem to be reacting to Rinoa?
>"Well, you've gotta, like... err... it's hard to explain. You need to have an attack or somesuch to put in it, and I'll help with the rest. Just think up some ideas when you go to bed, okay?"
>Nope! Then again, only Stella is outside right now, and with light of day beginning to go away, Rinoa's transparency isn't as noticeable. You realize it's starting to get pretty late; some people might have gone to bed already.

>Veronica nods and smiles, before walking off to her house. "Good night, I'll see you tommorow!"

>"Ahh, I wonder where I should go... I may not quite be alive for now, but I do think I'd like to try to sleep. Nighttime would be awfully boring with everyone asleep.", says Rinoa.

>She smiles broadly. "Aww... thanks!"
>From what you've heard, Jigen only had the Orb because Estelle was having her keep it safe. But it's worth a try to ask. And you certainly feel like it's time for bed; and you'll need a good night's sleep for tomorrow!

>You say good night to Granny May and Stella, before you and Rinoa head out of the village and back to the abandoned shrine on the hill. From there, you enter the portal to Jigen's Transdimension. Jigen appears to be sleeping on the ground.
>The place looks about the same as last time. You think the lone path of barren land is about 15 feet wide.
>Black people... introducing her to that could be a little strange. Then again, you also might run into problems with the minor fact that she's transparent.

>"Well, that's Jigen."
>Point to Jigen
>She looks to be a girl, about the age of... 4? She has black hair and a plain white dress. She looks pretty dirty and unwashed.
>You "introduce" Rinoa to Jigen. "Oh dear... she looks like a homeless child. What you said about this place earlier... words can't really express how bad it is. It's like the world is on it's last breath, crumbling away into nothing..."
>"She's really nice, but I think she really need her rest."
>Look ahead to see if the way home is still visible.
>Also wonder how Mom is going to deal with meeting a ghost.
>"Yeah. Let's go on ahead."
>You think you can see the door to your room in the distance, floating slightly above the ground in midair.
>Oh crap, you didn't even think about that! What with your father having gone missing and presumed dead a few weeks ago... well, she's still quite shaken up over that. If she saw a ghost with you, she might think she's going crazy. Then again, she should be at work now, and when she comes home she'll probably go to bed. So she likely won't even have to meet Rinoa.
