[After the meeting, Bartz is nowhere to be found. He left wordlessly, gathering his things and moving on the very minute it was okay to do so. A small box has been left outside Terra's room, labelled 'Don't open until October 18th'.

It's a few hours later when he turns on his skyphone.]


Hey, miss Duelar? Business is all done and I've gathered up all the supplies I'll need, I'm ready to hit the road as soon as you say the word.

-:- Phone Call to Tifa & Action // Locked to those in Luca -:-

[Ring, ring, Tifa. She promised she'd call as soon as she was back in Luca.]

[Aerith stopped just outside her house, not surprised to still see the makeshift door she and Cloud had placed up still in the front. She closes her eyes for a moment before reaching for the knob, finding it unlocked as she steps beyond the threshold into the house. It was quiet inside, probably because it was still early. She had promised she'd get to Luca in the morning, and she'd kept true to that.

Shutting the door behind her, Aerith settled her princess guard in the corner beside the door.

[The video starts focused on a swampy, marshy area, crawling with monsters, and a strange, semi-crystal-like tree in the background. The scene then shifts to show both Cissnei and Reno, knee-deep in muck and ducking behind reeds for protection. Reno smiles, but it looks somewhat strained as he focuses the phone just on him.]

[Action - Figaro Castle]

[Locke is sitting at a table pouring over a multitude of maps covering the all the continents.]

Where to go. Where to go.

[Map of Zanarkand]

There has to be more here.

[Map of Raithwall's Tomb]

I don't see a way in here.

[Map of Narshe]

But what if there's something foreign there.

A New Threat Emerges [Action - for Lightning, later Rygdea]

[Fang's been... upset is putting it mildly. She's been downright pissy since they arrived at the Hunter's Camp after the Fossil Roo disaster, and while there's been a nice string of minor hunts to let her take out a lot of her aggression, it's just been getting worse - and at the rate she's been going through hunts, most of them are cleared out now. This last week especially has been slower than she likes. At the moment Fang's at the edge of the camp, sharpening her spear and unintentionally trying to shatter rocks with her glare alone.]
