I have much to consider.

[That stranger showing up the other day talking about Ricard Highwind has put a lot on Kain's mind. Not that he's about to willingly bring that up with anyone. Nope, instead he's going to work on a list of 'foods Zephyr will/won't/shouldn't eat so far'. Mainly as a note to self while he's still doing the hunting for her.]

8 ♥ I think we’ve gone, and lost the fire [Audio]

[thisdesertrose.livejournal.com]

[A somewhat mumbled argument can be heard as the audio is accidentally turned on by a bump to the rail of the airship, it's engines also heard. Finally, a more recognizable voice is heard as the device is taken out of the pocket and placed on the table, the owner still not away it's on.]

Yes, Minwu, I really did go to the Void. Why do you keep asking?

You're absolutely sure it wasn't a dream, or a trick by the emperor?

[There is the faint sound of a small sigh.]

[Firion sighs, yet again]

I am very sure. I told you, Cloud even remembers it. I can't have hallucinated if another from another world also remembers.

[a small amount of silence follows before the faint (compared to the engines of the airship) sound of some rummaging. ]

And he... the emperor of Hell was there. Forgive me for questioning your word, but... the void does not exist. The word itself contradicts both Arubboth and Requia.

Yes, he was. This was a war of the Gods, Minwu. I would not put it past them to have resurrected the Emperor for this purpose. It exists!

[The rummaging stops, and the mage's voice changes. He sounds weary- troubled. Very troubled.]

I see... This.. will no doubt mean our world is no longer free of him.

Drink this. It will help...

[a brief pause.]

It will help you remember clearly.

[Firion sighs.]

My memory is not at fault! The world, as you have said, is free of him. Here, on Gaia, I cannot say for certain since it seems many who are thought to be dead have also arrived but-

[A frustrated sigh now. He doesn't want that drink, Minwu. It looks nasty.]

Must I?

If it is free of him and any form of being can revive him for their own purposes, surely it can happen again, Firion.

[His voice grows softer.]

Humour me. I am sorry; but I must be absolutely certain.

[For a while, Firion didn't say anything. Finally, a slight gulping sound is heard followed by some hacking coughs.]

Th-That's dis-[cough]-disgusting! What is-[cough]-that?!

[He finally calms down, no doubt Minwu waiting for the same so he could explain. Except... hold that thought. Be right back, gonna go puke. The device manages to catch the retching even though Firion had run outside and was practically hanging over the rail, upchucking both his breakfast and lunch.]

Primarily, it's a potion used to bring forth clarity, made from...

[the device should catch a rather stunned silence, and then another sigh. Heaving the potion right back up obviously isn't going to allow the desired effect from it. A few moments of silence follow as the mage is obviously waiting for him to return. If one listens carefully enough, they should just about hear him speaking to himself. ]

...Impossible. Lizard tails are not known for expiring quickly...

Lizard tails-?! [Cue some more heaving as the feed times out.]

020 - Rinoa - Video [Filtered to what's left of the Garden crew]

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

[Rinoa is puffy-eyed, but she's gone past the initial shocked stage and thought about what she's going to say now.]

Guys...

I know we're supposed to be hosting the Garden Festival soon, but... I really don't know if I feel up to it. First Zell, then Irvine and Squall... I - I barely feel like I'm holding it together.

I don't know what I wanna do. I know we promised a lot of people that we'd throw a great party and I don't wanna let anyone down. I don't know. Can we talk about this? 

[Video/Action] Time for Treasure Hunting

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[Video of Locke hastily packing his clothes. He turns towards the camera and flashes a grin before placing a few potions in his sack, strapping his boomerang to his back, and attaching a dagger to his belt.]

I've been sitting around Figaro for too long. If anybody needs me, I'm heading over to the Earth Shrine for some treasure hunting!

((ooc: I'm not sure who all is joining Locke on the Quest to find the Earth Mirror, so this post is a good place to respond and let me know you're coming along.))

[Text because she doesn't trust her voice.]

[winhillstime.livejournal.com]

I-I think I should go back to Dali, but with everything going on, I want to see everyone on Garden first, okay?

Is everyone else all right? No one else is gone, right?

[Just in case, but she's not going to say that.]

I hope this message reaches you well. Thank you for familiarising me with this world; and showing me Troia. I write this to you from airship- the machine far too loud to allow any form of voice transmission. The one who I spoke of arrived finally; and I would like to see what has become of him after a long absence, as well as errands to run regarding other matters. I may return. It depends what destiny has brought me here...

However. Should you need my magics - I will make haste to assist. I can only apologize for not being able to tell you before leaving. good fortune to you.

[ Denzel is out in the garden with Rex. He's been doing some training work with him, teaching him new commands including some off-leash work. The pup is really beginning to improve. Denzel is at one end of the garden and Rex is laid down at the other. ]

Rex! Come!

[ The pup comes charging over full speed. He's not really mastered stopping yet, so both boy and dog are sent flying to the ground into a wrestling match with plenty of doggy licks. ]
