[Video and then Action]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

[Cloud is sat on the floor of his garage, working on his bike with a set of tools he has no idea how to use, but at least he hasn't broken it yet. The phone is on the floor beside him while he keeps working.]

Has anyone seen Cid Highwind? I haven't spoken to him in a while...

[He tries to start the bike engine... and there's nothing but a splutter and a whine. He sighs and accidentally smears oil on his face. Yeah, there's a reason for him asking after Cid.]

Vincent? Aerith? How've you been?

[Cloud actually looks a lot happier than he last did, and while it isn't like he's grinning there is a faint smile on his face.]

Yuffie, are things okay in Wutai? Did you manage to handle everything?

[He wrinkles his nose and just puts his tool down, facing the camera properly.] How are you, Genesis? Are your eyes still... um...

[He goes quiet and looks away.] Uh... if anyone's spoken to Cid, let me know.


( Locked to Firion )

[Action.]

[Cloud gives up on his bike, heading back through the house, after wiping his hands off, gathering up their puppy when he jumps at him, trying to find Tifa somewhere in the house. He wants to talk to her. Or at least just find her and... well, he hasn't planned for anything, he just wants to see her.]

Tifa? Are you home?

[video] Searching For a Guardian

[summoningcalm.livejournal.com]

[Braska is sat with a worried look on his face, and now they've gotten back to Luca he's ditched his robes for a hooded shirt and pants, though he's got his staff leaned next to him.]

Has anyone spoken with Auron? I haven't been able to get in contact with him...

[His gaze falls. This is the face of a man who has a hard time losing his friends, especially a certain two.]

I am worried something may have happened to him... he promised he would join us at Madain Sari but when he did not arrive I assumed he would contact me to apologise but...

[He raises his hand to his mouth, fingers curled into a fist, his gaze lifting to the screen.]

Yuna, have you spoken to him? Lady Eiko? Anyone?

Brand Spanking New Technology! [Anonymous - Untraceable Line]

[nethi-cite.livejournal.com]

[Humming softly to himself, this rather animated seller starts to ramble rather quickly about his latest new invention. While his accent may sound that of a Rozarrian born native, there are few hints about his accent that speaks quite a different story. However, only those from Ivalice would be able to tell and perhaps those who've spent a lot of time around a certain sky pirate.]

Ladies & Gentleman, lend me your ears!

I am Dr. Alejandro and I have grand announcement to make to world regarding this new mineral called 'nethicite'. While I do know of the conflicts brewing within the bars and taverns of local towns regarding these amazing little stones, allow me to state that I've managed to find a way to make such foreign power usable for domestic and commercial means.

Yes, my friends, I speak of 'Nethicite-Powered Lamps'!

[Switching to video for just a second, the scream is illuminated by a lovely floating gold crystal that is lighting up the showroom with an beautiful amber glow.]

Behold! The newest form of technology is upon us in the form of humble replacement for the common lamp and candle.

These high-powered stones are capable of lighting up the darkest caverns along with the darkest closets. Imagine; one nethicite-lamp can last for years on end without the aid of electricity. The stones themselves are charged on the Mist, drinking the magical currents that lie within it to use it's power to illuminate itself.

These stones are absolutely harmless considering their relatively small size and has been cultivated in a way that limits them from causing any sort of destruction. Also, they are cool to the touch, for example--[Keeping his face out the camera's view, the doctor leans in to touch the floating crystal with his bare hand before slinking away.]

Absolutely harmless!

These nethicite-powered lamps would be great decor for a pub, study room, palace or even a child's room.

The asking price for one of these stones is roughly around 900 gil but I will lower the price today to 700 gil instead! Think of this as the chance to embrace yourself with the finest technology before they go on official sale worldwide.

[The video ends but the audio keeps on playing.]

Therefore, hurry to get your very own nethicite-lamp today! My assistant is standing by to process your orders.
