[As many others before, a blonde woman could be found face-first on the ground in the middle of the temple. Her hair bundled in a giant tentacled mess. Gingerly, Celes raises up her body to examine her surroundings only to be immediately confronted by an oval gemstone wedged into her palm. Even more distressing, the stone is translucent, with only golden spindles preventing her from seeing completely through her own hand. To her surprise, her fingers work fine, as though there wasn't a piece of rock separating bone and ligaments.]
Magicite...? [Because there was no other rock that she knew of that could explain it. There was no time to be overwhelmed, however, as her new situation demanded deeper appraisal. The former general quickly noted that she was uninjured, save for the new gem, but also that her sword was nowhere to be seen. The only possession that seemed to have followed was her outfit and the bandanna that she was clutching in her left hand. Leaving her possessions, she then started examining the room, noting the heart stone in the center while also seeing the bubbled gems floating all around.]
A stone in my hand and hundreds of cracked ones suspended in bubbles. Who is to say that a similar fate awaits me if I heed this call? [She'd feel better with her sword. Or, even better, somebody familar.]
Farmer's Market
[Celes had some time to adjust and found the world... interesting. A part of her knew that Waverly was completely different from where she came from but she couldn't help feeling a sense that the lands beyond were not unlike the World of Ruin. Still, it was enough time to know more of the gems, and the powers, and the fact that many were completely unskilled with them.]
[She would not let that pass.]
[So, she decided that if she was going to be stuck here, she was going to be of some use. Throughout the market one may find a woman with a yellow jumpsuit handing out flyers. They read:]
Hey you! Got a weapon you don't know how to use? Ask me if you want training. Don't be an idiot! Knowing how to use it can save lives. Probably yours!
