[The feed flickers on for a moment, revealing a man wearing elaborate armor and a very distinctive helmet, before going to static for a few seconds. When the feed comes up again, he looks confused, and one of his hands hovers over the Sky Phone for another moment before he lowers it. Now that the video feed is clearer, once can see that he is sitting on a strange stone carved with symbols, surrounded by what appears to be a very extensive wetland. The man's armor is a bit muddy, indicating that he has probably been there for a while.]

The moogle who gave me this device was kind in doing so, though in its hurry it did not give me directions out of this swamp. Still, it is better to have this than to continue wandering aimlessly, as before.

[He hesitates with a frown for a moment before speaking once again.]

So soon after defeating Chaos, I find myself in a strange place I have never seen before. A last effort by Chaos to defeat us, perhaps?

Cecil, Cloud, Firion, Terra, Squall, Bartz, Zidane, Tidus, Onion Knight... If you have found yourselves in the same realm, please contact me.

Others have said that as well. I am disappointed, to have missed his presence.

[voice]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. Probably best ya missed him.

[voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

For what reason?

[It doesn't occur to him that it was hard to see someone you know disappear, since the only person who he's lost is Cosmos, at her death.]

[voice]

Ya just got ripped from yer world. Yer gonna feel outta place fer awhile. Then you'll settle down just a bit, get comfortable and get ta know more people but ya don't know when those people are gonna just leave.

It's like watching somebody die. Only, you don't see it. Ya can't find them. There's no bye.

Look, [He laughs,] I ain't gloom an doom all the time. Cloud's my friend, and I'll assume you are too, but. The kid was just startin' ta look up. Last thing he needed was ta get sent home.

[voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I... I see.

I apologize if my queries brought up memories of ill, sir. [He's not sure what else can be said, in the face of something like that.]

[voice]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Nah, it' ain't-- [He laughed.] No worries, man. Ain't yer fault.

Name's Cid Highwind. Ya ain't gonna find Cloud but there're a lot 'a good people here.

[voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

There truly are. I have met many here, comrades and strangers, who seem to be kind and helpful.

[There's a slight pause. Introductions are always a bit difficult for him.] I am pleased to meet you, Cid Highwind. I am called the Warrior of Light.

[voice]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

They are. Just gotta watch out fer the crazies. They aren't too hard ta miss.

I'll call ya Light. That's a long name. Pleased ta meet ya too.

[voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

The... crazies?

It is simply a title. Most others have taken to calling me Light as well.

[voice]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ya know, the bad guys. The ones out ta end the world an' all that.

Well good, I'll bet you'll feel at home soon enough. Ain't nothin' like formalities ta make ya so straight laced ya ain't comfotable.

[voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

If that is what you meant, why did you not simply say it in those terms?

It is not formality... I simply know no other name that I could be called by.

[voice]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

They're just fuckin' crazy so that's what I call 'em. 'Bad guys' just ain't good enough.

-- You don't gotta name? Just a title?

Re: [voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I... suppose it makes sense. [He is still a bit confused by it, but that's probably because he's never met anyone like Cid before.]

I have no memories of my name, or of my past before my time in the Void.

[voice]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'm sorry ta hear, man. At least ya got something.

[voice]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Yes. I have my memories of the time in the Void, I have comrades who stand at my side, and I have the Light to guide me. These things are a great gift to me.

[voice] aww that icon ;w;

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Good. That's how ya win the war.

Well shit, I'm just wastin' yer time Light, take care I'll see ya 'round!

[voice] It is the only happy icon I could find for him. ;.; THE ONLY ONE.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Until next we meet.

[voice] :C it's a great icon I love it

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Yeah! [The transmission cuts with a laugh.]
