[Video/Action for Rabanastre-bound]

[danceawaypain.livejournal.com]

[This happened before so it's not a surprise to Penelo, but unfortunately it's still heartbreaking to see her home completely devoid of people. She's standing inside Migelo's Sundries, checking the stock like she did when she was still a young orphan under his wardship. Everything's in order. Only there are no people. No customers lifting goods, haggling over prices. No shopkeepers endorsing products or taking payment. No one. The streets outside the shop are the same and it's frightening. Never in her life has she seen her the bustling desert capital wholly empty.

At long last, she'll take a deep breath and turn on the phone, forcing herself to smile and find the best in the situation.]


I don't know how, but it's happening again. Never thought I'd see Rabanastre so quiet. It's almost like it's somewhere else entirely.


[What she's not saying is that it reminds her of Nabudis in an eerie way, only even then there were the shrieks and growls of monsters lingering in the Mist. Here, there's not even that.]

[Well. All of this coming and going and popping to and fro was really starting to make Balthier something resembling irritable. It was not so long ago that he was last in Rabanastre, but it was curiously different somehow. Even as he stood in front of The Sandsea, the streets were empty, and a quick look in the window was enough to confirm that it was empty indoors, as well. He frowned and began to take a few steps towards the nearest shop, pausing when he heard his phone notify him of a new message. Taking it from the pouch hanging at his belt, he views Penelo's message and promptly responds.]

I've found my way here, as well. This has happened before? What, precisely?

[ In the background, there's a very quiet Oerba, but it's an Oerba without the crystal ash and without the Cie'th. Vanille's not in sight, but it's her voice coming through. ]

Yours is empty, too?

[Ursula peers at what she can see of the city with great interest.]

What a beautiful city....

[Pause.]

My home is empty, as well. It's...unsettling.

Penelo?

[Edward chimes in after a moment or so after the earlier footage ends. He's unsure what to think about this latest turn of events, but the bard is riddled with worry. Is this Garland's doing? It must be, but how!? No sort of magic is supposed to be this powerful.]

How is this...happening? This is your home, is it not?

Penelo? Is that your home?

Rabanastre? It is as deserted as Eruyt.
