[VIDEO] Should I stay or should I go now...

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

[A face appears on the screen, just a bit too close at first, then leaning in even closer. He leans back to a more comfortable distance, but moves back and forth in the camera, the inquisitive look on his face clear as it seems he's examining the camera while it's broadcasting.]

Hmmm... amazing. R&D would love to get a look at this. If this works the way this says it does, it would be a wonderful item to equip our field workers with. Although, I'm not sure how easily they would be able to replicate it. Hmmm...

[The man blinks suddenly and twitches as if he were just reminded of something he needs to be doing at this moment.]

Well, let's see if this works. Hello? Can anyone out there hear me? My name is Reeve Tuesti and I seem to be in... [He looks around] some kind of church, I believe. I'm not exactly sure where it is though. All I can tell is that there seems to be a hall of worship and many, many books around here. Aside from the moogle who gave me this, I haven't been able to find much else around here, including the exit. If there is anyone out there who may be able to render some assistance, please let me know. Thank you.

[The video feed seems to spin around sharply for a moment as Reeve seems to be studying the device from multiple angles, muttering things such as "Hmmm" and "I see" from off-camera. Finally, he sets it down on the table, giving a view of a wall with a bookcase partly in-frame next to it. Reeve goes to the bookcase and stands there, examining the titles.]

Hmmm... Modern Treatises on Contemporary Oligarchies... Care and Feeding of Hybrid Pack Animals... Physiology and Kinesiology... AH! [He bends down and pulls a book from one of the lower shelves] An Analysis of Continental Geology. Well, if I have to wait, I'm sure I can learn something from this. Maybe at least it will tell me where I am...

[Reeve carries the book back toward the table near the camera, disappearing out of frame. After a few minutes, the feed times out.]


[OOC: Sorry about that last post. As I've said, I'm new to all this. I'm working on getting the feel of everything down still, so feel free to poke me if I screw up again. Thanks.]

[Minwu looks complacent, and bows his head slightly before speaking.]

...If you're still there, you're on a world named Gaia. It may be hard to believe, but there's little reason to worry. You're safe, and the natives of this world have no intention of changing that.

Re: [video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Well, waking up in a strange place with no one apparently around here except a moogle which seems to have now disappeared has already stretched my ability to believe a good amount. And I'll have to take your word about the natives, since I haven't managed to encounter any of them yet. But figuring as someone had to light these candles, and the lack of dust here, I'm sure someone must be around here. Hopefully they can point me at the front door... and where to go from there.

[ The smallest of blinks.]

It is possible your location is not of this world, either. People and places have been known to appear. What you're reading may not help you.

[immortal-lion.livejournal.com]

Did the moogle tell you which part of the world you're in? You could be anywhere.

[video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, he seemed rather distracted and hurried. He did mention something about monks before leaving, so maybe this is a monastery?

[video]

[immortal-lion.livejournal.com]

[He can't hide a small look of disappointment at the suspicion that statement brings. He likes his privacy.

A monastery...

It's possible you're at Orabonne Monastery on Pinnacle Rocks. It's a short distance away from Lindblum. I woke there myself...
And it has been where I was staying.

[knighted-lion.livejournal.com]

We can hear you.

[In what seemed to be a tunnel of some kind, the madman speaks. He's quite aware that half of the known world is after him, but he doubts these slack-jawed imbeciles can trace his video conversation with Tuesti. Half of the people on this miserable world weren't very technology inclined.]

Ah! Look what the cat dragged in, or do I dare say look at what Cait Sith dragged in here.

What's a matter, Tuesti? You've been here before.

[video - filtered]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Hmm? Apparently, you seem to know Cait. Or at least know of him. However, if that is truly the case, you probably would know that he doesn't possess the -abilities- to make a transit such as the one I have apparently made possible. And if he did, I'm quite sure I would have found him around here by now, or at the very least heard him.

And I most definitely beg to differ. This place here is nothing like anywhere that I have known, and according to the others who have contacted me, as well as this book here, it is most certainly a very new place to me. Therefore, I would have to say that your data appears to be faulty.

[Somewhat amused by the inventor's mild hesitation, Cidolfus simply sits back and let's Reeve talk. The man was absolutely clueless as to who he was, despite the fact that Dr. Cid was the one who aided in saving Vincent Valentine's life.

However, such past endeavors of Cidolfus' humanity is nothing more than past memories to them both now. Vincent never did pay his debt to the doctor, a shame really. Cidolfus really could use some help considering he's a wanted man now.]

Breathe easy! You are far too stuffy for your own good, Reeve.

[Cidolfus' smirk grew a little.]

I mentioned Cait Sith since I once found him before at the bottom of a well within Dali. Although, it seems you've forgotten that. A shame, it seems that our little time together is nothing more than a fanciful memory now.

I am Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa, friend. A pleasure to make your acquaintance once more.

I can't say where in the world you are, but the world is Gaia and yes, we can hear you and see you. It's a public broadcast.

[video]

[Have one blond president in what is obviously a room at an inn. In the background are three faces which should be rather familiar plus one furry brown body which is admittedly decidedly not.]

Hello, Reeve. Welcome to Gaia.

If you received any reading material with that phone of yours, it explains much about our current situation here. Also your phone should be able to tell you where you are currently as well as possibly show you the nearest cities.

[video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Well, well... a familiar face finally. Hello there, Rufus. I would say I'm glad to be here, but seeing as I'm still not quite sure where - or what - "here" is, I think I will have to reserve judgment on that. I'm glad to see you are well, all of you, in fact. I would love to ask questions about how we actually got here, but I think that would be best accomplished face-to-face... once I figure out my way out of here.

Reading material? I seem to be surrounded by reaching material. However, none of it was actually given to me with this. The moogle just pressed it into my hand, said a few things and quickly r... I do believe I have just found it. Now... location. Hmmm... Ah... I believe I've found it. Let me see here...

would be Lindblum. It looks like it must be a sizable place. I guess that would be the most logical location for me to go... once I leave here.

Now if only this thing could show me where the front door was...

[video]

[whitesuited]

I am currently in Lindblum myself, perhaps we can meet in person once you've arrived?

Despite the current state of the city, I'm sure Lindblum's nature will be of interest to you.

[video]

[championofwutai.livejournal.com]

Heya, Bossman! Glad to see you're back!

You can tell where you're at with the map function on your phone.

Re: [video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Ahh, Yuffie! It is quite good to hear a familiar voice in surroundings like this. I'm glad to hear you're well. I've managed to figure out how to find out where I am. It's some place called Orbonne Monastery. However, I'm still trying to find my way out of here at the moment. Well, actually, I'm hoping to find someone here who will tell me which way "out" is. But once that happens, I believe I will try to find some way of getting to Lindblum. A city as large as that appears to be should be a good place for me to find out what has happened to me, as well as meet some of the others whom I have been contacted by.

Strangely enough, though, you are the second person who has spoken as if I was here previously. I must admit that don't recognize any of this, nor do any of the locations around here on this map of mine sound familiar. I find this... most puzzling.

[video]

[championofwutai.livejournal.com]

There's a bunch of us here - almost all of us, minus Red... the kids are here too.

You need a ride? I can get there, but it'll take me a bit. Wutai's still a while from that area. Cloud's in Luca, though, and Cid and Vincent are in Lindblum.

[video]

[animus-concisus.livejournal.com]

New to Gaia, are we?

[video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Apparently. Although according to some, I've somehow been here before. I find that idea rather... confusing.

[video]

[animus-concisus.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, that is only the start of confusing things you will likely come across in this world.

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tuesti. My name is Cid Raines.

[video]

[chaos-vessel.livejournal.com]

Reeve. Did the moogles tell you anything?

[video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Ah, Vincent. I was told welcome, was handed this phone, told that it was how I would be communicating, and then that I apparently should have woken up sooner, because he was late for his meeting with the abbot. Then the moogle ran off and left me alone. I've basically learned how to use this thing from the pamphlet that I only managed to find after someone mentioned its existence to me, and that I'm at some place called Orbonne Monastery, which, according to what I've been told, should not be too far from your location. I think that once I find my way from here to Lindblum, we may need to sit down and you can let me know just what in the world is going on.

[video]

[chaos-vessel.livejournal.com]

Now is as good a time as any. Some force is taking people from different worlds and putting them onto this one. Some are returned to their world at random, but there is no way to do so by choice. People can be brought to this world from different points of time.

[video]

[heartofheaven.livejournal.com]

Reeve! Hey, are you there?

[video]

[catinspirer.livejournal.com]

Yes this is Reeve. Who i- Tifa? Ah it definitely is good to hear another familiar voice.
