It's Good to be King and Have Your Own World

[The screen blinks on, set at an odd angle - sideways on the ground, cobblestones clearly showing in most of the picture, along with some rather charming buildings that certain SeeDs might recognize from a certain spider chase. Those, though, are mostly obscured by the sudden moogle foot and paws that appear, trying to bat something away from the device.]

No, don't do that, kupopo! You're going to break it and we jus-

Nonsense, I'll put it back together once I'm done - this really is an inconvenient arrangement; why did you have to add so many buttons to such a small device?

They all have to be different to dial oth- WAIT! KUPOOO-

[Pseewwww. The screen goes dark again.]

[Several moments later, it clicks on again, from a different angle - moogle-height, this time. The neon "Nautilis" sign can be seen behind a man with long blond hair, tied away from his face, wearing mostly blue clothing that is also partially armor and holding a tiny screwdriver and a pair of pliers he probably got from a moogle. On the ground in front of him is a Sky Phone with the cover opened and thoroughly half the bits and parts extracted and laid out on the ground in front of him in neat rows.]

Fascinating... This seems to run on such a small power source, yet displays capabilities beyond any of the magitek-

Kupooo. [The moogle is plainly worn out by this man.] Please, just take this one and keep it in one piece, kupo!

Ahh, thank you. [He looks up to take the device, and Edgar's face is shown clearly for the first time as he peers at the screen. He seems to consider something for a moment, then slips the phone into a pocket.]

Are you sure this isn't a dream?

No, it really isn't.

But we explained all this to you already, Edgar. Did you hit your head?

[He shakes his head slowly at the question.]

This is new to me, Terra. All of it.

That doesn't make any...no one arrives, leaves, and arrives that quickly. Not that I have seen, at least. We picked you up from evil forest only a few days ago.

[She smiles faintly.]

You're sure you don't remember?

[He has to reassure Terra. Edgar smiles in return, but shakes his head at the same time.]

I promise, I haven't seen your beautiful face for several days, now.

[She sighs. That's a little disorienting as well, really. If he doesn't remember seeing her in evil forest, how can he say he's seen her a few days ago?]

Time can be a little strange, when it comes to being here. If...you don't remember evil forest, then the last time I saw you was almost a year ago. When Kefka merged the statues and shot down the Blackjack...

I'm glad you are okay, by the way. I was so worried about everyone...

[That one...]

[That piece of information gets an eyebrow raise from the king.]

And the last thing I remember of you is saying goodbye to you as the Falcon returned you to Mobliz... after we defeated Kefka.

[Blink. Blinkblink.]

...We defeated Kefka? Really? But he's here.

[video]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

We did. It wasn't easy, but we did.

[Since he's already heard about this from Rydia...]

Have you seen him? How bad is he?

[video]

[alittlebitesper.livejournal.com]

[Another period of silence.]

He has attacked several cities here, but I have not run into him in...a few months. But he is terrible.

[video]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

More terrible than when he absorbed the Warring Triad?

[Seeing as that sounds like the point Terra's most recently familiar with.]
