[Action - Campfire Post I] [Locked to people in Terra]

[Night has fallen and a small fire flickers in the dark, the only bright thing in a landscape that's utterly black. Terra has no moon and if there are stars, one cannot tell since the sky is shrouded by clouds. Mikoto is sitting cross-legged by the fire, her hands tucked in her lap.

This is a great place to camp, right? It totally is. Let's toast some muffins and have a chat.]


[ooc: Here is your first weekly campfire post! It's completely optional: your character can be tucked up in bed if you like, but this is a good chance to have some interaction that doesn't involve being attacked by dragons. Mikoto is available if you want to ask questions, but please feel free to threadjack and create as many subthreads as you like.]

[Genesis sits by Mikoto and of all things, he brought a book with him, his wing tucked into his side. he had already written his findings in a journal he brought with him and so now he reads. The darkness is a touch unnerving but he is able to ignore it with ease. He had been in such darkness before.]

[The Warrior of Light is sitting by the fire, taking the time before he goes to sleep to clean his armor, sword, and shield. After being attacked by dragons before the airship even landed, he isn't going to take any chances with his weapons. It takes up most of his attention, but he occasionally spares a glance upward at the others sitting around the campfire.]

[Ever since their battle with the dragons, Edward has been a tad curious about the fellow with the wing. The bard figured that the man was an angel of some kind, but he didn't seem very angelic with one black wing.

How could this fellow fly with just one wing? Edward was a tad puzzle about that.

Watching the other in silence, Edward gazed at Genesis with some interest once he pulled out a book.]

[He sat next to Light, his own weapons gone and by his pack. It was a familiar sound, Light cleaning his armor and one he reveled in. It reminded him on the Void and of his friends. It reminded him that no one was alone in this, even if they were in silence.]

A curious one, aren't you?

[The corner of his mouth was upturned into a slight smirk, though his eyes never left the book.]

[Edward nearly jumped once he heard the man's voice. He was unsure as of how the warrior could have seen him if he was gazing into that book, but the man definitely caught him in the act. Trying his best not to sound too flustered, Edward quickly replied with an apology.]

A-ah, forgive me! I didn't mean to stare.

[identity profile] for-cosmos.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a while, he continued to work without glancing up. Then after a few moments, he put aside his sword, which he had been cleaning, and looked at the Weapons Specialist sitting next to him.]

Firion.

[He was hard to not sense the feeling of being watched and he finally turned his glowing blue eyes to the blond man next to him.]

I'm sure you didn't. [He snapped the book shut] It's alright. I have had worse than a mere stare.

[identity profile] melodiesoflute.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Edward smiled sheepishly at him. It was difficult to tell whether the swordsman was annoyed by him, but Edward sure hoped he wasn't.]

I see. It is safe to assume that you get many stares because of that wing of yours.

[He glanced towards the feathery appendage with intrigue.]

May I ask why you only have one wing, sir? You fly as well as any bird, yet you only possess a wing.

[identity profile] recites-always.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not so much annoyed as amused. Other than Ivalice, no other world had winged humans. And technically, not even his own other than himself, Angeal, Sephiroth, and, in a way, Vincent.]

Indeed, I do.

[But he's an attention whore and totally likes getting the stares, especially because the people here were more awed by the wing rather than thinking him a monster, which made all the difference.]

You may ask but I don't have an answer. I and two of my comrades were all given foreign cells before birth and all of us have only one wing. All I can guess is that it is a trademark of what we are.

[identity profile] thisdesertrose.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nodded his head to him with a smile.]

Light.

[identity profile] melodiesoflute.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Foreign cells?

[Edward had to blink at that since the technology in his realm is quite limited.]

Ah, so there are others like you? How interesting! I never seen anyone before like you until now.

[Now he's all smiles since it seems that the swordsman isn't annoyed with his intrigue.]

I am Edward, I do not believe we've met before.

[identity profile] for-cosmos.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[The Warrior didn't exactly smile, but he nodded in return, and turned more directly toward Firion.]

Did you wish to speak to me?

[identity profile] recites-always.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Genesis won't explain much more than that, sorry Edward.]

Just two others. I would have been surprised if you had seen others.

My name is Genesis, no, we have not met before. But a pleasure it is to do so now.

[identity profile] thisdesertrose.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shook his head]

No, I simply enjoy your company, as quiet as it is. [He grins lightly] Must I have a reason to sit with you>

[identity profile] for-cosmos.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks a bit surprised for a moment. He hadn't considered that there would be much socializing, especially since they were on a mission. Maybe Tidus was right and he doesn't know how to have fun.]

No, of course not. I apologize for implying that.

[identity profile] melodiesoflute.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
'Genesis', eh? You are the beginning, the first created into existence as your namesake states. That is quite fitting considering you are the first person I've seen who possesses the ability of flight unaided by magic or technology.

I was the first to be created in the experiment that created my wing as well. The Prototype, if you will.

[His eyes narrowed slightly, but that smirk was still there, if a little forced this time]

And the failure as well. But even the failures of man has some kind of success, in the end.

[After all, out of everyone, he's the last one to survive. Other than Cloud, anyway.]

[identity profile] thisdesertrose.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[There probably would not be, which was why Firion was merely content to sit by Light's side.]

Don't apologize, there is no need for it. How are you faring?

[He's not particularly cold but Vivi has bundled himself up tightly in a blanket more for comfort than for warmth.

He's cheered up a little, having resolved to make the most of what are probably his last days before he stops again. Even if those last days are to be spent in a dead, broken world it doesn't mean he has any excuse to waste them moping around. He has a tin soldier he bought from the market at Figaro while he was there in one hand but hasn't been playing with it for a while, instead looking into the fire and trying to find shapes and stories in its flickering movements.]

Well enough. The battle with the Silver Dragons was tiring, but I was not injured. After that it was merely travel. I am reminded of our time searching for our crystals.

What of you, Firion?

[identity profile] melodiesoflute.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
A-a failure?

[His smile dimmed a bit.]

I see, you was...created.

[Wow, so this man wasn't truly human after all. How unsettling, Edward didn't know what to think about that.]

You somewhat remind vaguely of a friend I know. He isn't human either, but rather a visitor hailing from another world.

[identity profile] melodiesoflute.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spotting the little mage nestled within a blanket, Edward approaches with a slight smile on his face. Vivi seemed to be troubled, perhaps the gloomy landscape was making the poor mage feel uncomfortable.]

Are you well?

[identity profile] recites-always.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugged lightly]

Oh, I'm still human. I am also merely more than that, wing and all.

Oh? And where was he from?

[identity profile] morehatthanmage.livejournal.com 2010-08-04 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vivi looks up when he hears Edward and nods.]

Yeah, it's just different from how I remember it here...

[He fidgets idly with the toy soldier, marching it across the barren ground.]

Are you okay? Thanks for helping me before.
