✿ Solitude Is Serenity -[ audio ]

[The audio clicks on but at first there is nothing but silence heard. It goes on like this for a few more minutes before hushed words are actually spoken.] It's over now. I'm glad.

[A sad sigh could be heard from her along with maybe a sniffle or two.] I wish more happier memories were made before that day but at least we won.

We won. That is all that matters.

[Hesitating to say so much more than this but at least she has a few messages for friends and acquaintances alike.]

[Balthier is seated at the helm of the Strahl, looking as complacent as ever, though he does look a little worse for wear thanks to the Memoria issues.]

Vaan, Reks, Mjrn. Is there anywhere in particular you wish to go, or are you to remain aboard the Strahl permanently? [That is his nice way of saying 'pick a destination or I just drop you off where I want to'.]

[He sighs and settles back in his seat, casually glancing past the screen to keep an eye on the sky.]

Ashe, how is the baby? Well, I assume? How about yourself and your husband?

[The pirate vaguely ponders something for a moment then quirks an eyebrow.]

Does anyone know the current issues concerning... pirates in Gaia? While I'm entirely unamused by the pirates in Troia tainting the good word, I'd like to know the current situation.

Have to be sure I won't be hung, drawn and quartered anytime soon, you understand.

[Vincent is staring at his phone without seeing that it is turned on, for a moment. He wears a frown, and there is a jumble of negative emotions mixed up in his scarlet eyes. Fear, anger, regret and pain flash subtly through his face as he remains locked in the tumble of his thoughts.

He seems to drag his attention down to the Sky Phone.] I have been searching through the archives of posts here, on the moogle's network. There were several recent mentions of something called "Memoria." What is it? It had an obvious negative effect, but other than that I would like to know more, if anyone is willing to supply information.

[There's another pause, perhaps even longer than the first.] Hojo was here. Nanaki told me. [There is no accusation in his voice. It's a simple statement.] Cloud said that people came from different times, but I didn't really consider what that meant.

But... If Hojo was here... could she be as well? ...Lucrecia...

[As soon as Rydia arrives in Troia, she doesn't waste time. Immediately, she heads for Troia Castle and Rosa's room. It's difficult not to think of it as Cecil and Rosa's room anymore, but denying Cecil's departure won't make it any less true.

Her plan is to catch her there instead of somewhere more public, for the sake of a private conversation. The summoner herself feels like curling up and sulking, but both Rosa and the threat before them effectively take away any chance for that to happen. She pushes down her own angst, instead determined to find her friend.

If Rosa isn't there, she'll search the castle and then the town proper. There's no pausing to ask someone, but neither area is especially big. She's certain they will run into each other before long, and so keeps going until that happens.]

[ooc: Anyone in the area is welcome to run into her along the way, or spot her afterward--though the latter is best if you want to keep her attention. Rosa's her first priority.]

[ Al-Cid is on a chocobo -- his chocobo, now that he's bought it from the stables in Lindblum. It's not the only chocobo around, though; he's in the middle of the Chocobo Forest. ]

If any happen to have any knowledge when it comes to the fine art of chocobo wrangling, besides the use of greens, I would appreciate it. I am... somewhat out of practice, you could say.

[ His chocobo bobs its head in agreement. ]

Ah, also, if any happen to have some sort of... extra space...

[ The camera shifts to show three chocobos behind his own, ropes around their necks even as they contentedly munch on greens. ]

...I may have a use for it.

[Having promised to stay in Lindblum, Delita ordered a drink from Bobo and found a seat to the side. As some of the patrons attempted to engage him in "small talk", he politely responded to their inquiries.]

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.
