[video; private to Tifa]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

[Cloud is stood out somewhere rather secluded, surrounded by snow. He sighs softly, his gaze falling.]

Tifa... I... [He pauses for a long moment, his gaze finding the screen for a brief second before he averts it again.]

I'm going to pick up Fenrir, then I promised Marlene I'd come home. I... I don't know what I'm supposed to say...

I know why you're mad at me, but I don't think you understand me... [He frowns and looks at the screen with shimmering blue eyes that could melt even the coldest heart.]

I'll be home soon. We should talk instead of shout...

[He cuts the transmission quickly.]

[video: Filtered to Regent Cid]

[knowshermachina.livejournal.com]

[The video that comes onto the screen shows Rikku standing in a large clearing in Midgar. The area behind her is lit up by several spotlights that are propped up on a large cargo airship that sits nearby, and are shining on several Al'Bhed who are crawling over a giant piece of machinery that appears to be a broken down train. Not that the regent knows what a train is.]

[Rikku is bouncing excitedly in place, a grin on her face, and she waves at the camera.]

Hey Regent! It's Rikku, we met at the world leaders meeting thing? I'm the girl with the people building the robots?

[The camera suddenly shakes, and Rikku frowns, pointing up past the screen.]

Hu, hu, rumt ed cdayto!

[She sighs as the camera steadies itself.]

Right, sorry, we're kinda new at this video phone things  so anyway, I uhm...I hope you have a minute, there's something I totally need to show you. I think you'll be really interested in it!

Strictly Business [Phone Call to Fran]

[Don't ask how he found this number but rather just pick up once you hear the ring, Fran.]

Act VIII - [Voice] And though I am empty, I still warn the sailors on their way

[recites-always.livejournal.com]

[He managed to get only voice this time, not that he notices or cares. He is still most obviously in Guadosalam, though away from the Iifa Tree now.]

Ondore, Cloud, whomever it would inconvenience less, I believe I will take you up on your offer of a ride.

[Rude's shadowed image is seen in front of the glaring backdrop of the sun reflecting from the surface of the skysea that stretches out behind him.

He's spent the past twenty minutes or so learning the ins and outs of his new hand-held device, and gathering as much information as he could on his current situation. What else would you expect from a Turk? Well, not counting Reno, of course.

Although he can easily filter his message, he opts against as much to get a better idea of who's here]

Reporting in. Current location is ... Muruc Cashuac Skysea.

[Now he just needed to wait and see if anyone that he was familiar with responded]

[Video flicks on to an an older looking Penelo, who appears to be talking to someone not in the screen.]

Did you make this or find it in Goug?

[There's moogle chatter explaining the Sky People situation in the background. Penelo sighs.]

Vaan? Luso? What have I told you both about touching those strange stones? The moogle here says I can contact you with this... phone. Would you please stop taking those quests? I'm really tired of hiking back from strange places.

[And in a strange place she is. The middle of the Zanarkand Dome is behind her, and a ghostly image of Yuna and her guardians pass by.]

Ghosts?!

[Feed cuts off as Penelo sprints away from the transparent people.]
