I need to talk to you. Get back to me when you can.

What is it?

Someone named Jihl Nabaat recently posted on the network, right?

Right. I spoke to her. And?

What did she say to you?

[text]

[loveandstrife.livejournal.com]

That you're evil. She said you're manipulating me to believe you and I should be wary of any move you make.

[fulminous.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, that's pretty standard then.

What she says is true. We're l'Cie, from Pulse. And our Focus -- our Mission -- is to destroy Cocoon. But we're not going to; we're going to destroy Barthandelus instead. And if we become Cie'th then so be it.

I won't destroy Cocoon. I won't let him sacrifice those people.

You do realise if you're evil, I have to stop you, right?

If your mission is to destroy Cocoon, and you haven't done that, then why does she say you're such a threat? Because you're from Pulse?

There is a difference between sacrificing innocent people and sacrificing people who are going to just end up destroying your planet.

If you want me to believe you, you should explain properly. If not, then I'll see you on the battlefield.

I wasn't made into a l'Cie by choice. l'Cie are made against their will by the fal'Cie who feed the humans and keep them alive. A long time ago there was a war between Pulse, the world below, and Cocoon, where I'm from. We were told, in Cocoon, that Pulse tried to destroy us. We are fed this information from birth, told that Pulse is a living hell and that any l'Cie from there are our mortal enemies.

And then my sister became one.

I went to find her. I quit the Guardian Corps, and got on the train for the Purge. They told us the Purge would take us to Pulse, and that it was for the benefit of everyone in Cocoon. Instead, it was a massacre. PSICOM, the division of the army Nabaat is a member of, ordered everyone on that train killed. None of them were l'Cie. None of them had anything to do with Pulse. They were all innocent.

Barthandalus told us that Cocoon was made with the intent of growing thousands of human lives to be used as a sacrifice to bring his God back.

We're going to stop it.

Sounds pretty familiar in parts.

Alright. I believe you. Now what we need to do is stop everyone else from believing her. I've been here longer, I know a lot more of the people in charge, so I'll try to talk to some of them.

I can't promise anything, but you're part of AVALANCHE. That means your sister and your friends are protected by the rest of us as well.

Was there anything else?

[ She flips it to video, so he can see the relief on her face. She's still typing at him, though. ] Thank you. I'll let them know; I'm on my way back to Lindblum.

Having allies here will help a lot.

[Cloud gives her a very similar expression, the slightest of smiles.]

If you need somewhere safer to be, come to Luca. Bring everyone, since the house is bigger than the one we had in Lindblum.

We're used to toppling governments and being called terrorists, so you have the right kind of allies.
