[The video feed starts as Rydia is seen from below, being handed the sky phone.]

Here, kupo!

[Rydia reaches out with her free hand to take it. In the other, is a glowing green sphere. Arriving with a foreign item in hand would normally have her full attention, but she actually gives it little notice for now, instead staring around wide-eyed at the ruin all around her.]

What happened?!? Why is--

Gotta go! You should too, kupo. This place is creepy.

[The green-haired woman frowns, staring off after the fleeing moogle before turning her face to the camera. She looks a bit pale, obviously shaken at the devastation all around her. Not only is it a horrible sight in and of itself, but it triggers old and scarring memories.]

The map says I'm in Burmecia, but...that can't be right. Can it? There's practically nothing left here, but some ruins on this tiny island and a myrrh tree! What happened to everyone?! Please tell me the rest of Gaia isn't like this....

[Terra fumbles with the sky phone for a moment, sighing in relief when the feed stabilizes.]

That's better.

Celes? Relm? We're here. You're still at the castle, right?

[Assuming as much, Terra makes her way there. She frowns upon surveying the damage on her way, hoping that whatever aid Edgar has Figaro provide will ease the aftermath. At the very least, she'll offer what healing she can, and learn how else she can help.

As soon as she enters the castle, Terra makes a mental list of who she needs to find; Celes, Relm, Eiko, Zidane...perhaps the queen who was so kind to her, if she has the time. Given the state of Alexandria and the Mist Continent, though, she isn't expecting the latter to happen.]

[ooc: Anyone local is welcome to run into her, whether she's looking for them or not!]

[Since arriving in Alexandria, Sabin's been getting reacquainted with the people of Gaia. Busy crawling the heavily damaged streets of the capital, the prince has been trying to dig up information but has only turned up little bits of local gossip instead. It has him frowning heavily before coming across something... strange.

And Sabin's seen a lot of strange things but a giant green and orange, zebra striped egg on the outskirts of the city, takes the cake. Suspecting that the egg was a product of the Lunar Cry, he doesn't take any chances before whatever is inside this egg can hatch and do more damage to an already damaged city. A lot of places on Gaia were damaged from the Lunar Cry and if he could, he'll do everything in his power to help those in need. It's merely a matter of Sabin being true to himself. The power to protect has always been strong in him as he hauls the giant egg off the ground and begins to walk out of the city.

The further away he gets from the city, the better it'll be for everybody there. Eventually, he settles the egg at the bottom of a large, grassy hill and takes a few moments to flip open his Skyphone and starts recording a video. The feed eventually settles into a steady motion before he begins speaking.]

Anybody happen to know what the hell a giant egg was doing in Alexandria? I've removed it from the town in case it decides to do something funny. Otherwise, if someone happens to have a large cast-iron frying pan in their possession, we've likely got enough egg here to feed quite a few people.

Or is this like the Zodiac stone that I found when I first arrived? Delita, if you're still around, do you recognize my prize here? Any takers? Anybody hungry? I'm not the best cook but I know how to fry eggs pretty well!

[ooc: Sabin's received a Mystery Egg as his starter task and it's going to crack soon! I haven't decided what's going to be inside of it quite yet but replies will be coming sometime tomorrow night! This post is open to everybody in
Alexandria.]

[Camera in hand, the feed begins with Beatrix's profile. She seems to be looking around, likely scouting for this, that, and the other thing. She hasn't said much of anything with the events as of recent, but it hardly means she wasn't paying attention. It's hard not to pay attention with a swarm of monsters hits a planet's surface and goes about terrorising places.]

All knights beneath my employ are required to increase their daily and nightly patrols. The threat has not been quelled. If we sit and do nothing, then it is the same as surrendering. I will not tolerate such an outcome with those titled as the knights of Alexandria.

[She softens for only a moment, eyes the camera in all of her thoughtfulness and nods once, succinctly.]

Those involved in Alexandria's welfare, Lindblum's, and... the boarding of that vessel, provide for me your current status.

[In other words, she'd like to know her friends and allies are doing well. Including people like Zidane, who she hasn't said a word to, likely concerned due to her lack of memories, she may chide him. And he won't like that.

She looks around again and shakes her head as she lifts her free hand to brush back her hair, only for curls to fall back into place.]

There is still so much to do.


[OoC: Beatrix will be out and about to make sure things are running smoothly. Interaction is open to anyone and everyone in Alexandria.]

I intend to travel to the Citadel of Trials. Lufene must be stopped, or she will lay waste to this entire world. I have faced the Citadel before... if doing so again will give me strength to defeat Lufene and Garland, then I will not hesitate.

Anyone heard from Minwu? It isn't like him to not show up when people need help. He can't be living that much under a rock.

Firion, have you met up with Guy yet?

[Reis is comfortably situated near the pool in Troia, enjoying the sunshine while some women swim in the waters. She herself is pouring over a map attained from a moogle. Following her talk with Cecil, there are questions she simply must have answers to.]

I would see this Crystal Tower for myself. Are there any who know of it? I have seen it in Ivalice and I wish to know if it be the same.

[There is a thoughtful pause, a portion of her knowledge regarding the place which seems important, even though others have taken issue with it.]

It is said that this spire was once found in the heart of the kingdom of Baron, protected at its base by the city. Its crystal walls stood as a symbol of the royal family's wealth and power, as well as oppression.

[action in goug | for tidus (for now!) | backdated to 26th-ish]

[pastglories.livejournal.com]

[It's been a long a week, and Jecht's had a lot of time to think: about many things. First is the giant box in the sky that somewhat shadowed his and his son's steps as they set off down the Outer Continent; what that could mean. Then, there was the blast and the posts on their network: that hadn't boded too well.

But, as well as thinking about all of that, there were the other things. Being on Gaia in the first place. Being alive. Seeing his son, in the flesh, again. The prospect of seeing those who had brought him down... those who had fought alongside once... those he had once knew. It had been a weight on his mind.

And now, he was in Goug, looking off into the early morning light, to the distant shoreline. They were here, and they couldn't keep moving, due to what was happening in the Mist Continent. And now he had a lot of time to think.

And speak to Tidus, too. They were overly due a long talk.]

[The feed starts with Regent Cid standing on the deck of the Invincible. Those who are currently on the Mist Continent may have seen this magnificent airship in the sky, as Regent Cid has been busy flying around Lindblum and neighbouring territories in response to the Lunar Cry.

He looks more serious than he has done in some time.]

Greetings, citizens and friends of Gaia.

Over the past few days, I've watched many of you come to Lindblum's aid, and Burmecia's aid, and across the Mist Continent and beyond. We've seen catastrophe on a grand scale here, especially in Burmecia. I'm told the king did not survive... My condolences to his people, and to everyone who has lost a loved one.

But we have to act if that loss of life is not to be in vain.

Which is why I have a proposal to make. Two, actually! The first is a request. There's a wise old woman by the name of Matoya, who lives in a cave on the Forgotten Continent. She's given us useful information before, and my sources tell me she has more to say. I want to know what she isn't telling us. So I'm sending a small party to visit her as soon as possible. If you want to be part of this group, let me know!

Once we have that information, we'll need to figure out what to do with it. That's why I want to invite all heads of state to a meeting on the 21st May. If you have information on Garland, Lufene, or anything that might help, I want you there! Let's put our heads together and solve this problem once and for all. The meeting will take place here on the Invincible, so we can pick you up wherever you are.

Ahem... In the meantime, I would like to assure everyone that we in Lindblum are doing our best to recover and rebuild after the Lunar Cry.

Thank you, and good luck.

[He bows, and the feed ends.]

[focustrigger.livejournal.com]

[As the populous of Alexandria begin to gain control over the onslaught of monsters - admittedly, thanks to the presence of Alexander - Serah, Hope, and Vanille finally have a spare minute to rest and pause, rather than fighting to help others or just to save themselves. So, Serah pulls out her phone. Still no calls, no news: not even her Lightning and Fang appearing in the city.

Her hands are white from gripping the phone, her heart in her mouth. She presses the button she's been somewhat avoiding, and somewhat hoping she wouldn't have to push, that she'd know by now.

Ring ring, Lightning. Please, please pick up.]

[ooc: WOO BACKDATING. Hope, Vanille, feel free to jump on this since they'd probably all together in Alexandria! Also Fang if you're with Lightning.]
