[Video]

[Ovelia once again peers into the screen, as she has done many times; she's still not quite sure how to use this machine, so most of what's on the screen is a very strong close-up of her face as her fingers play with the device, colors changing and the video turning on and off as she does so with each press.

She tilts the thing back and forth, the screen now black, before she lets out a sound, presses a button, and the video feed comes back to normal.

She moves the video away from her face a little, and tilts her head this way and that, in hopes that she wasn't obstructed in any way, or only partially visible...

Then Ovelia holds something small to the camera. It's spherical, and lets out a soft glow.]


I am sorry if this is rather sudden, but can anyone tell me what this is?


[Note: This is actually an Energy Crystal, of FFVIII fame.]

Master Lionheart,

An acquaintance from my own land of Ivalice has arrived upon your Garden. I have sworn and bound to protect her as a Knight of Ivalice but my own duties forbid we leave Warjilis at present.

Could you act in my stead until I am able to travel or until she arrives here.

[The video feed flickers to life with a shot of an endless expanse of desert. The mountains can be seen in the distance as Sabin finally comes into view of the camera. His hair appears to have grown significantly since his last appearance over the Mooglenet and he's looking more like a ruggard barbarian than a Prince. Regardless, he grins a toothy grin before his face settles down into a serious expression.

There's things going on around the world and he's heard very little that he'd value as solid information. Gossipping barmaids aren't the most credible sources after all. Instead, he'll turn to his friends from home and other places for more information.]


It seems I've been ignoring this Skyphone of mine for long enough. However, I keep hearing the most interesting of rumours about our newest friends the Lucavi. Would someone be so kind as to fill me in? The barmaids who keep gossiping in the tavern don't seem like the most credible sources to me.
