[This entire message is filtered from Kefka and Kuja.]
Citizens of Gaia:
I, Regent Cid of Lindblum, wish to send you all a message of hope. This past winter has been hard on everyone. We have experienced food shortages, monster invasions, unprovoked attacks, and only a few days ago, we were plunged into visions we most likely didn't want to see.
But through this turmoil, I am proud to say that the people of Gaia have remained strong. I am proud to serve people of such courage and fortitude. I promise you now, spring will come and we will work to ensure a prosperous future. We won't allow those who would destroy that future to run amok! The madman Kefka was recently sighted in Lindblum. To ensure the safety of all citizens, I am increasing the number of knights patrolling the streets, as well as introducing automated defenders known as rooks to protect us all. He won't set foot here again, you can be sure of that.
Rest assured that I and other heads of state are working to set things right. No-one can know exactly what lies ahead, but we can be ready for it.

Well, I had simply intended to check in with you all and see how you were faring. I would still like to hear such news - Lady Ashe, congratulations on your lovely baby! But I hear that Figaro has been claimed by another? - but we have far graver matters to discuss.
First, Kefka. I'm afraid to say that he is actually the least of our worries now. But the scoundrel just appeared in Lindblum and it's about time that he was stopped for good. Lord Vayne has been kind enough to provide us with weapons, the rooks I spoke of, to defend our borders, and I think they could be used to defeat this clown too.
Second, Kuja has once more appeared in Gaia. Don't be fooled by his manner; his only goal is to bring chaos to Gaia. The last time he was here, he masterminded the destruction of all three realms of the Mist Continent. We still haven't fully recovered from that. We mustn't allow him to gain any influence again.
Third, Memoria. I believe that the fact we were all transported to that place has terrible implications for Gaia. I won't say more until I have more information, but it may be the reason that any of you Sky People are here.

Is it true that Garland has returned? Zidane, I want to know everything that he said to you. Cloud, you spoke of encountering Garland before. What can you tell us about him? His aims? His powers? Did he bring us to Memoria? Why? We need to put our heads together to work this out.

With that said, I would like to propose another meeting aboard the Invincible on the 22nd February. Some things are best discussed in person. The sooner we can figure out a plan, the better. Let me know what you think.

Date: 2010-02-11 12:43 am (UTC)Who might you be?
[ audio ]
Date: 2010-02-11 12:49 am (UTC)Nanaki, son of Seto, and guardian of Cosmo Canyon -- back on my world, at least.
[ And then he locks it between the two of them, and Aerith, since he's with her. ]
I know what the rooks are, Regent; they were recently involved in my kidnapping and subsequent experimentation. I trust you will forgive me for my... misgivings about their use, and the man who developed them.

Date: 2010-02-11 01:06 am (UTC)He used his fine words to lure me into meeting with him in Wutai, and used the rooks to capture me. While I was there, I was experimented on with a thing called nethicite. I am not the first who has been subjected to this, though I do not know if any others have undergone the same in Gaia.
I was released from the estate as my friends arrived to rescue me, but the effects of the experiments very nearly cost me my life. Queen Garnet can attest to this, if my word and that of other 'Sky People' is not enough.

Date: 2010-02-11 01:35 am (UTC)Wutai is from my world, Regent, and one of my friends, the princess. I am sure Vayne has done good things for it, from what I was able to see before my captivity, but I have seen people and governments do good things that are actually the means to evil. Sometimes it is even evil that they are unaware of.
[ audio, locked ]
Date: 2010-02-11 01:46 am (UTC)Now, now, Nanaki, I think that's too far. Lord Vayne has done nothing but good for Wutai. Any good can be the means to evil - you could just as easily say the same of me.
[ audio, locked ]
Date: 2010-02-11 01:49 am (UTC)I have made no accusations. I am asking only that you remember this. Do not trust too easily, as I did, Regent. Please.

Date: 2010-02-11 01:50 am (UTC)[Oh, someone decides to speak up.]
I...I think what Nanaki is trying to say that you and others should be careful of this man, Vayne, right? Yeah, his name is Vayne...
Not because Vayne himself is bad but rather because his employees are a little over the top. I mean, scientists are suppose to explore new and wondrous things but that doctor had no right to hurt my friend.
[ audio, locked ]
Date: 2010-02-11 01:56 am (UTC)I hate to say it, but some of my employees in this very castle have turned out to be criminals. I hope you wouldn't consider that as reflecting too badly on me. If Vayne condoned Dr Bunansa's experiments, that would be entirely different, of course. We'll see what the truth turns out to be.
[ audio, locked ]
Date: 2010-02-11 02:01 am (UTC)Oh no...
I don't think this Vayne person knew since I know of a scientist who conducted really foul experiments under ShinRa's nose. So, maybe that could be the reason...
OH, no no! I don't think poorly of you! I think you've been just swell to my friends and I. We really thank you for the hospitality but I just hope this crazy doctor stops trying to experiment on everything he sees.
Maybe Vayne should punish him by cutting his payroll. The Power of Gil is a amazing thing!

Date: 2010-02-11 02:09 am (UTC)Ahem! I'm glad to hear it, Miss Aerith. And I'll certainly suggest that to Vayne.
[ audio, locked ]
Date: 2010-02-11 02:16 am (UTC)Great! Thanks for talking to us and good luck against Kefka.
