mooglenet_backup | The Return of The Madman[ accidental video post ]

[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.

[Like you would know! You've been dead.]

I wish you wouldn't. You are simply going to end up dead again, and I'd rather not deal with that once more.

[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.]

[Pfft! Death? Do you think mere mortals can actually kill a man as debonair and suave as your genius father, Ffamran?]

In all due honesty, I was quite shocked I actually had a piece of nethicite on me. I could've sworn I've left this within my laboratory.

[Well, he killed you, didn't he, Cid? /shot]

Get rid of the damn thing. Toss it away.

[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?

[The doctor was clearly frowning now.]

No. I'll return it to my lab for further testing but I'm not tossing it away.

You'd do well to keep away from Wutai right now.

Sephiroth has taken seriously ill, and his dear friend is keeping guard on him. As far as I'm aware, Miss Gainsborough is to attempt to heal him.

Would really want to be around her, when she is a close personal friend of Nanaki's?

[Okay, that little bit of news got him listening now.]

Gainsborough? One of the hound's friends? Ah, I see...

I'm certain if I speak to Lord Vayne, he would be eager to toss such riffraff out of Wutai.

You can't. He's dead.

Shot, as far as I'm told, after the meeting.

...

Surely you jest, Ffamran.

[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.

Why in the world would I joke about such a thing?

No, he is certainly dead. Larsa, as far as I am aware, is in a dire state and as Sephiroth is unwell, Genesis has taken over Wutai.

[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?

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

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

[Please note how much color actually drained from your father's face, Ffamran.]

...Vayne Solidor has been killed? By who, Ffamran!? Who killed him!?

[Noted. And he isn't impressed.]

If I knew, I'd tell you. [Look! Your son can lie!] No one knows just yet.

[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.

I... [The concern in Cloud's voice gets through to him.] Of course. I was startled.

This... coming back to life. Is it a common occurrence here?

[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.

I cannot believe this! Who told the General he could stake a claim for Wutai in the first place? He shouldn't be governing that damn city but rather using his time to find Vayne's killer!
