[In his haste to gloat about finding the Earth Mirror, Locke forgets to filter his Sky Phone to Edgar as intended, broadcasting his message to everyone.]

[Having the biggest grin on his face and twirling the Earth Mirror in his hands, his eyes twinkle with delight in front of the phone. Upon closer investigation, the location look shows the depths of Orbonne Monastery and a haggard treasure hunter.]

Didn't think I could find it, did you? Bet you never even thought it could be in Orbonne Monastery.

[His grin is still apparent as an Oversoul materializes directly behind him. Before he even has a chance to respond, the Oversoul rams him quickly. Under the onslaught, Locke staggers backwards collapsing onto the ground shattering his phone.]


(OOC Note: He's at the very bottom of Orbonne, past the vaults and into the Necrohol beneath that. He won't be responding for obvious reasons, but feel free to tag in this post anyway. I think my inbox can take it...maybe.)

[Rydia's eyes widen in horror.]

Locke!

[And then she can't see anything more on the screen. Cue much fretting.]

[Video]

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Rydia, is he on his own? Isn't there anyone to help him?

[Video]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but I really hope he brought someone along.

[She sighs, shoulders sagging.]

It would be just like him to rush off before thinking to do that, though.

[Video]

[livelyangel.livejournal.com]

Then we can't just leave him! Where are you, Rydia? Do you know where Orbonne Monastery is?

[Video]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I'm still in Troia.

[She checks something on the Sky Phone.]

Orbonne Monastery? That's...near Lindblum. Are you closer to there now? Did the Garden move?

[video, locked]

[Oh, way to shock and scare her.]

Locke! Don't get yourself killed or I'll drag you back and kill you again!

[And damnit, she can't go help him, either!]

[Video/potential action in garden?]

[starprism.livejournal.com]

[Relm's been sneaking around where she really shouldn't be. Since stowing away on garden (this part TECHNICALLY wasn't her fault. She just decided to sleep in an empty dorm room she found rather than treking all the way back to town and having to pay to stay in an inn. Hardly her fault that she ended up somewhere different the next day. Certainly not her fault that it conveniently allowed her to break her promise to Terra.) she's still been sneaking around despite the siren call of 'trains what are trains I HEARD SABIN PUNCHED ONE TO DEATH ONCE I WANNA CHECK IT OUT' because she hasn't seen the whole thing and she's never seen something like this before.

She's now in a restricted area and finds a relatively hidden spot to respond, speaking in a whisper and huddling around the phone.]

Hey, what is that? It looks coo-

[And then WHAT IS THIS. She's certainly no stranger to seeing Locke get beaten up by all manner of wildlife but it's not quite as funny when he's clearly the only one there and there's nobody stood behind him with Cure3 funtimes. Her brush hand twitches as the feed cuts out and she leaps to her feet and tosses the phone to the ground, suddenly very hostile to it. It's thankfully not broken but her stealthy-ness is ruined completely - even more so once she starts yelling.]

What the hell, sneaky old man? Come back! Where are you? You better not die!

[And then she launches into a long list of creative and very colourful insults aimed at the skyphone itself. Also a very loud list. And where did the 11 year old girl learn that word?]

[Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn is wandering the grounds on the way back from training, intent on sneaking in a nap before heading to the cafeteria, when the colorful insults reach her ears. That voice...hadn't she heard it before? Turning, Mjrn heads in that direction.

The young voice uttering such interesting words draws her closer to that spot, and an alarmed Mjrn gets ready for trouble. Whatever caused that racket must be serious. She heads over, curious and concerned as she finally realizes why the voice is familiar; it belonged to that girl, who she had spoken with recently over the sky phone.]

What is the meaning of this?

[Action]

[starprism.livejournal.com]

Um. Heh.

[She gathers up her phone and tries to figure out how to lie explain her way out of this one. Should she adress the yelling or the 'in a clearly restricted area' first?

She decides on the former, if nothing else it'll at least win her pity and maybe get people to help Locke. She points to the blank screen of the skyphone, trying to look as pitiful as possible.]

My friend's in a lot of trouble and...

[She trails off as she tries to buy herself time to work on her story.]

Re: [Action]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn glances to the blank screen, then the pitiful face. There's some sympathy in her own, but also confusion.]

Who is your friend? And why--

[She glances around, then gestures for Relm to follow.]

You ought not be here. Let us depart, at once.

[Action]

[starprism.livejournal.com]

[Oh well, she can always come back. Best to go than to resist and risk getting in trouble. She follows, pointing to her phone again.]

He was on here, just now. He said he was at the Orbonne Monastery and then a monster attacked him and so I, uh, I came here to look for help! But now he's gone, see?

[Voice, Filtered to Returners]

[hi-no-dansu.livejournal.com]

For the love of...

LOCKE! WAKE UP!

[When he receives no response, Sabin slaps on a filter to the Returners.]

Anyone up for a Thief Hunt?

[Voice, Filtered to Returners]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

[And, much as they love to give each other a hard time, Edgar's concern for his best friend is incredibly evident in his voice.]

Get him back here. Get him back here now! Or- No, I'm coming.

[HE WILL NOT BE SWAYED. Edgar's already starting to run and get his things together to leave immediately.]

[Voice, Filtered to Returners]

[hi-no-dansu.livejournal.com]

You're not going alone.

Looks like we're heading to Lindblum near the Pinnacle Rocks. I'll meet you at the front gate of the castle.

[Voice, Filtered to Returners]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

I'll have one of the pilots bring an airship around immediately.

[There are some advantages of being king, after all.]

[Video]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

LOCKE! You-

[Sweet goddesses you ridiculous thief! You're going to get killed!]

[Video]

[danceawaypain.livejournal.com]

Edgar, we need to help him. If that's what it looked like, he's in danger.

[Video]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

He's in danger no matter what that was, because he's alone and he was discovered. We're leaving - if you want to come with us, get to the castle gates as quickly as you can.

[Video]

[danceawaypain.livejournal.com]

I'm coming. You'll need a healer and I owe him a lot.

[Video]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

Then we'll be expecting you. But I'm not waiting any longer than we have to to leave.

[Once the video feed cuts to nothing, Ashe tries to get a voice message across -]

You must wake! Locke! Do you hear me?

[voice/action]

[mademyresolve.livejournal.com]

[She turns to him, tapping the screen of her sky phone repeatedly with a nail, and looks very concerned.]

Locke - he was attacked by an undead fiend and fell - there is no response...

[voice/action]

[mademyresolve.livejournal.com]

Just prior, he spoke of finding a mirror in the Orbonne Monastery...

[It's then that Edgar's voice can be heard, obviously he saw and is reacting to Locke's broadcast.]
