[Video/Action for Luca]

[waterblade.livejournal.com]

[The video shows the inside of a bedroom that looks like its been ransacked - clothes are everywhere, and there's a couple of bags (and a shaking box with a handle) on the floor. Scrabbling sounds and the occasional yowl come from the box, but no one is visible. Even once Tidus begins to speak, he still doesn't turn the camera around to show himself.]

Yu- [His voice is thick, shuddery, and fails almost immediately. He might be trying not to cry, he might have already done so. He might be furious, or any sort of combination. It's pretty obvious, though, that he's really not doing well.]

Yuna- Yuna's gone.

[And that's it. His wife - his child - have vanished. And the way this world works, he doesn't know if he's ever going to see them again.]

I'm gonna- [deep breath] gonna stay on the boat for awhile. Marlene, Denzel... could you keep an eye on this place for me?

[There's another moment where it sounds like he might say more, but then the feed goes dead.]

(ooc: he'll eventually respond to voice posts. People in Luca can ambush him at the boathouse if they want to.)

[Text; for Marquis Halim Ondore IV / Action for Warjilis]

[In darkness and solitude she lays on the bed, weeping bitterly into the sheets. His side is still warm, the pillow still bears his scent. Ashelia can't bring herself to video, not for the state of her. Nor voice, having sobbed until her throat closed up and refused to form words anymore. Text by trembling fingers, and one recipient alone. Halim won't need video feed to realise his niece is devastated.]

Gaia has released him.

[action, closed to Rygdea]

[...Damnit. Damn it all. This was exactly what Cid wanted to avoid, exactly what shouldn't have ever happened. Everything had been going smoothly until now, and although he knew that it was inevitable, he was hoping that he could delay it for as long as possible. Apparently, as long as possible wasn't more than just a few weeks.

Cid paces in his room, trying to figure out how to word it this time, trying to figure out how to explain in a way that Rygdea wouldn't hate him this time around.]

[Palom's in Troia, having been dragged there by Porom after he arrived. It's pretty much how he remembers it.

He's standing by the Inn, looking a little irate, to say the least. He holds up some fabric in his hands.]

I don't know what these moogles do for fun around here, but I really don't appreciate underwear being shoved into my pockets. These better be someones!

[OOC: For the record, Palom is holding up the Bikini Briefs from the Honeybee Inn. >3 ]

[ Two // Action // Family reunion in Treno! ]

[blue-desperado.livejournal.com]

[Sitting still while awaiting Raine and Ellone's arrival had turned out to be impossible. Laguna had paced his way up and down the waterfront, tried to make himself interested in the shops he passed along the road as a way to pass the time, but in the end, wound up retreating to the hotel. He wasn't sure how long the ride back to Alfitaria would be, but it was getting late in the day, and making sleeping arrangements for everyone seemed prudent. At the very least, it kept his mind off of just how long he felt he had to wait. Making sure there were comfortable accommodations for the three of them as well as Rydia, their current benefactor, he sat on the edge of the bed of the room he intended to stay in with Raine, reaching over to examine a magazine on the nightstand. That yellow cover-- was that an issue of Timber Maniacs? He picked it up and turned it over. Oh. No.]

Bushido in the Bedroom? Huh? Did someone leave this here?

{ Four - Phone call to Ashe/Action in Warjilis. We made it! }

[theleadingman.livejournal.com]

[Collecting Penelo had been a brief affair, as the girl could not spare much time away from home now that she had a royal wedding to put together. The rest of the trip to Warjilis had been uneventful, and once they had touched down at the docks, Balthier was the first to alight, reaching for his phone in order to contact Ashe, per her request. He glanced over his shoulder at those assembled as he held the phone to his ear, waiting for her to pick up.]

The princess mentioned that if we gave her name to the guards, they would already have instructions to show us through. Any volunteers, while I attempt to alert her of our arrival?

028 - Tifa - Voice

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

[She saw her go. She saw Marlene disappear. But Tifa's very good at going into denial when she wants to, which is why she's spent the last half hour searching the house, the streets, asking the neighbours... And then she returned to find this note:

"I'm checking something out. I will be back soon. ~Shelke."

That makes two missing children and an absolutely frantic Tifa. She tries to compose herself before using the phone, but you can hear the strain in her voice.]

Has anyone seen Marlene? She... She's not here.

[She takes a breath as though about to say more, but her fingers slip before she can do that, cutting off the message. Tifa decides to call Shelke directly instead. Ring, ring, Shelke! You had better answer this call, young lady.]
