Julia awoke on the forest floor, groaning ever so slightly. She lay there, allowing time to pass, in her short sundress the same colour as her hair, striking blue.

Wait. Her hair was [i]not[/i] blue. She shot up at once, fingers running through her locks, which were definitely not blonde. There were other differences too - her hair wasn't supposed to curl like this, and it was considerably shorter than it had been. Perhaps it was a side effect of the whole reincarnation thing. As she felt up her hair, she noticed something else. They were attached to her, and she could sort of move them. Julia inspected them with her hands. That was something to find out when she had a mirror. She also made a note to buy new clothes, this dress wasn't cutting it at all.

This would take some time to get used to. but as Julia began to stand up, she winced as her feet struggled in her too-small heels. She kicked them off, giving them a sad look. There were some other things she would have to go without too. She hadn't had a choice in this one, or rather, these two. She patted her chest mournfully. Now that was a travesty. And if she went a little lower- ah. [i][color=8493ca]I'll burn that bridge when I get there,[/color][/i] she thought to herself. Or was it he now? Whatever it was, Julia sincerely wished that the goddess had been able to keep at least something the same.

[color=8493ca]"I hope I'm cute, at least,"[/color] she sighed to herself, at which point she saw a great beam of light form in the sky. That seemed important. At any rate, there wasn't much else to do, so Julia made the executive decision to go check it out. She absent-mindedly recalled the goddess talking about other people being sent to this place with her too. Maybe she'd meet some at the beam.
