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

[nomerevessel.livejournal.com]

[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.]

None. It is the reason I am called "Warrior of Light"- I cannot even remember my name.

[He looks away from the fire to glance back over to her.] It is nothing of enormous importance, my lack of memory. Tell me, what is your own world like?

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

What I am called is of little importance. If you wish, you may call me "Warrior," instead.

What kinds of things did it have that this world does not?

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Very advanced, then. I have never heard of such things.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Since Serah hadn't been eating earlier, the Warrior takes it as a good thing that she isn't pushing her food around in her bowl any more.]

I am glad to hear that your time in this world has been pleasant.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Now she's sad again. He sighs- he isn't at all good at cheering people up.]

How would you describe it, then?

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

I admit to some confusion. You... were branded? [The way she phrased it seemed to indicate that she was exiled from a place because of the brand, but he cannot imagine how this girl would have needed to be exiled.]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Even with most of the mark faded, it still looks to be a very harsh thing for a young woman like Serah to have. He can't imagine how simple curiosity could have gotten her a mark like that.]

Yet I assume that brand means little in this world.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Why would they do such a thing here? Whatever crime your curiosity might have been deemed as, it ought to hold no power in a completely different world.

[For a moment, he stays quiet, to think, before he says anything again.]

I cannot claim to know why that person continues to act against you here, but I would not believe their words. You have proven yourself to be a good person, one who follows the light. I trust you because of that.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[He makes a sound of amusement.] When you have fought side by side with a group of people, and faced enemies and even death with them, trust is an easy thing to obtain.

I doubt there is anyone who does not wish to find answers.

If Garland is the cause of the Sky People's appearance, then it would be likely that when he is defeated, we will be returned to the places we came from. If he is not the cause and we are not sent home, we shall simply have to face that situation, and do the best we can.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[He almost-but-not-quite smiles back.] Perhaps it is, but you have already proven yourself a capable part of the group.

High school?

[He stares into the fire thoughtfully.] It is possible. When I faced them before, both were the minions of a God called Chaos, though in that time they did not work together.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Of course. By trying, and by watching, you will improve. The same idea applies to nearly anything one could wish to learn.

I think I understand.

I have faced him many times. He is a difficult opponent, and strong, but in that world I faced him alone. With all of us fighting together, the battle will be easier.

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Stuck... in the crystal? [His mind immediately goes to the crystals that Cosmos created for the Warriors of Light so that they could continue to fight after she had been destroyed.]

Not in my world. A world known as the Void.

He tried to do something similar. He tried to sow doubt, and distract me from my purpose.
