The Return of The Madman[ accidental video post ]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

[Accidentally turning on the sky phone once he brushed up against a nearby branch, the first thing anyone sees is just the darkness of his coat pocket. During the entire time of this static filled audio, a faint beep emanates from the sky phone.]

There is a boundless source of energy sitting right beneath my fingertips! Why haven’t I been alerted to such bounty before? Surely, someone must have known about the fascinating power that lies beneath the Iifa Tree’s core.

[A beeping of his sky phone finally captures the doctor’s attention and he reaches to pry it out. Smirking into the camera of the phone, Dr. Cidolfus points the camera away from him and over towards the glittering green liquid-like glow before him.]

It’s as powerful as the Mist lingers within the Four Jagds. Although, it seems quite different from anything I’ve studied before. This power…what is it?

[Something starts to glow within his right pocket of his coat. Catching the eerie glow from the corner of his eye, the doctor sets down the sky phone for a moment as he pries out a chuck of nethicite out.]

What is it? That light, it thirsts for this power!

[Raising the nethicite towards the turquoise glow of the Lifestream, the rock begins to shine even brighter once it began to siphon the magical energy before it. Drinking it’s power to its full, the nethicite actually floats from Cidolfus’ hands, hovering high above this endless mystical ocean of greens and blues.]

…This power, is it native to Gaia?

... [There is a faint look of surprise on his face before he eases into a small smirk.]

You have no concept of the word 'dead', do you?

[Turning to glance over at the camera of his sky phone, the doctor merely chuckled.]

I suppose I do not...

[He sighs. This week and a half has been hell.]

What in the world are you doing with that damn stone?

['Man Up', Ffamran! It hasn't been that bad as of late!]

What? I am not doing anything besides just watching how the nethicite reacts to this strange glowing water.

[If Vincent was pale before, he's positively white now. His jaw is clenched, and his whole body is stiff with tension. He looks faintly ill.]

[He killed this man. He remembers flashes of it- explosions, the feel of a gun in his hand and the recoil as he fired it, the feeling of fangs sinking into flesh, tearing, and blood in his mouth, on his face, warm and wet, the pleasure that raced through them as they destroyed...]

[With a faint sound, Vincent pressed a hand to his mouth, fighting down Chaos's gory memories. The lifestream is there. Is that how this happened? Why? The only person who had ever come back in that way was Sephiroth.]

The Lifestream... [The rasped words escape his mouth before he realizes that he had spoken them.]

[Trying to get a better look at this gloomy looking fellow, the doctor begins to wonder where he's seen this man before but his memory isn't all intact.]

The Lifestream, you say?

[There are no shouts of fear or calling upon gods. No threats to call the authorities and have him locked away or killed. The man only seems curious and a little bit confused. It throws Vincent for a loop, and for a moment he only stares at the man with a nonplussed look. He doesn't protest this sudden good fortune, though. He's so relieved that he lets the information slip]

Yes. It is the lifeblood of the Planet. When things die, they are absorbed into it, and all life comes from it.

[Cloud doesn't sound mad, just a little concerned.]

Vincent. You shouldn't tell him anything else.

[Still silently trying to figure our where he's seen this man before, Cidolfus' eyes nearly lit up once the fellow began to explain about that strange energy before him.]

This entity is the lifeblood of the planet? You mean to say, this is the actual blood of this world? It's energy?

[video]

[Cloud is just frowning at you now. Why the hell are you back?]

You shouldn't mess with things you don't understand.

[video]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

[Oh, what the hell!? That is no way to greet a man, knave. That frown of yours is not welcomed here.]

Still possessing a dagger for a tongue, I see.

[video]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

[Oh, but it's such a pretty frown. Look, it's all for you!]

I'm just telling you to be cautious. It's dangerous.

[Taking a moment to gaze at the floating stone, Cidolfus moves out of the camera's view for just a second as he reached to grab it.]

O-ow! Hot, hot! This stone is literally burning with fire.

[Peeks into the camera again.]

Perhaps you're right, that energy is quite fierce.

[voice]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

So you're back from the dead.

[voice]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

[It actually takes a moment for Cidolfus to recognize this woman's voice but when he does--]

Ah, another one of Nanaki's ilk? Honestly, I never expected such a welcome!

[voice]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

You're messing with something you don't understand. Something's gone wrong with life and death itself and you think you can interfere with it? Why don't you just jump in?

[voice]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

Just because someone asks me to jump off the bridge doesn't mean I will do so. I won't partake within any foolery regarding this strange nectar, so feel free to curb your tongue.

[Whoa, this is the first time Kefka has actually shown his face to anyone! Take it as a compliment Doctor, he's bleeding and bruised]

What in all of me is that?

[A faint chuckle before turning into a mad laughter]

How delicious! This green glow...How very...interesting!

[Video - Locked]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

[Gazing still at the strange glowing pools of light before him, Cidolfus glances over towards the camera of his sky phone looking rather shocked.]

My, my... What on earth happened to you, Kefka? I take it that you wouldn't know a thing regarding Lord Vayne's assassination, would you?

[Video - Locked]

[magicclown.livejournal.com]

[A raised eyebrow] Lord Vayne? Never heard of the man, if he his dead and a good colleague, you have my sympathies.

[Lies Kefka doesn't care if Vayne was tap dancing naked in Vector]

As for myself, would you believe someone had the gall to attack me, simply by looking out at the wondrous city of Lindblum?

[voice]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

Larsa, is that you? You sound as if a cat has gotten your tongue, dear boy.

[ Ms. Icy Pants actually looks a little troubled. ]

It seems you are back from the dead once more, Doctor...

The stone? What madness do you toy with now?

Cast aside such foolishness, for Balthier's sake. He has lost you too many times. Do not make him suffer losing you again.

[If the Viera actually bares a look of hesitation within her gaze, then perhaps this fascinating pool of energy is far more dangerous than it seems.]

Once more? What in Archades are you talking about?! From what I know, I've only fallen once...

[Falls quiet]

Curb your tongue, Viera! Ffamran shan't suffer anymore and nor shall I. This stone, it lusts for the power that reeks here. It glows with a fearsome light unlike anything I've ever seen before.

While I may be adventurous, I am certainly no fool.
