Assorted Phone Calls

[Phone Call to Rosa]

[Ring,ring. Your summoner buddy wants to talk!]

[Phone Call to Eiko]

[You, too, Eiko.]

[Text/Phone Call - Magic Sorceress Filter]

[kursetheseeds.livejournal.com]

[Text, Sorceress Filter, to Jihl]

I would like to ask you a few questions, if I may.

[Text, Sorceress Filter, to Kuja]

It seems you know something about the mystery that has brought us here. What would you need to divulge specifics on said information?

[...Phone Call, Sorceress Filter, to Seifer]

[After her texting, she's about to put the machine away, and then pauses. Yes, she could do this mentally, but she needed to conserve her strength now that she had two puppets on the string along with the one fully brought to heel. Besides, he was the only one she would do this for.]

[So, Seifer is getting a perfectly mundane phone call, from perhaps the last person in the world he expected.]

[Action] Luca after the Earth Shrine and Wedding

[Locke is sitting in the sand on the beach looking out into the water. He's visibly upset that they didn't find the mirror and now he's stalled long enough on their quest until he can find an airship.

He picks up a few small pebbles and begins skipping them across the water.]

[Network Post - Doctor Tot]

[tidesnpcs.livejournal.com]

[The camera shows a view of Madain Sari, looking a little less ruined than it did previously. Where once there were ruins, now the ground has been levelled. Workers scurry to and fro, hauling wheelbarrows full of rubble or knocking down pillars. A small group nearby are standing around bickering.

The camera shifts to show a close-up of Doctor Tot's whiskery face; he's pointing it at himself.]

Do you see that? No respect for history, none at all. I've had to stop them from banging away at ancient carvings with hammers and chisels! Oh, but I shouldn't complain. We've dug up some of the most wondrous artifacts... scrolls that are centuries old, perhaps even millennia... Writings of the eidolons, and of the ancient customs of the summoners. I've stored it all away carefully, ready to show Lady Eiko.

[He chuckles.]

I'm sure that you could make them work faster if you were here, Eiko. Some are questioning the point of this project. They say there is one man with funny robes living here with the moogles - and my dusty old self, of course. What need is there to build a whole town for one man? But I think that the historical value of our discoveries alone makes this venture worthwhile. 

Hmm... But you know, I'm almost certain that I've heard singing coming from somewhere... And not a man, it was most definitely the voice of a lady. Something about it reminded me of Garnet... 

[Tot shakes his head.]

Now look at me, I'm letting my imagination run away with me. Perhaps it is a little too isolated here. 

[Video]

[animus-concisus.livejournal.com]

[The video shows what appears to be the airship docks in Lindblum. The camera pans across the ships there, whether the be merely docked, being worked on, built, or what have you.]

Even the most majestic of airships here could never compare to my Lindblum, though I'm not a fool enough to let that detract from their beauty. I don't need to be terribly inclined in mechanical engineering to appreciate the ingenuity of many of these. To think, simply running on steam gets them airborne... Beauty in the simplicity of them, really. Rygdea would be having a field day here right now, no doubt.

[The camera shakes once and goes still, the phone having been put down on the railing Cid is standing by. He comes into the picture, but only slightly, as he continues to look out at the airships.]

This world becomes more real yet fantastical with every passing day. What parallels I find, what things carry over, what... What carries over.

[His eyes very briefly flicker to his right hand.]

Hm.

[And he moves to take the phone, cutting the video feed off.]
