1st - [ video / action ]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ Life for Rosa had recently taken a turn for the very worst. With that mysterious green-haired girl turning up and the moon on a crash course for their planet, not to mention Cecil... Rosa was feeling a bit lost. The Lunar Whale was on its course for the moon again.

Or it had been when Rosa had closed her eyes. When she opens them again, she is very startled to find herself on the ground... and very definitely not in the Lunar Whale anymore. She quickly gets up and looks around.

This... this place. It feels so familiar. And that little ball of fluff coming nearer and turning on the video function for the phone to show her how it works? Definitely familiar. ]

Oh no...

Is something wrong, Kupo? Are the Phones scaring you?

[ Rosa shakes her head and takes the device, not realizing it's... recording this whole conversation. ]

No, I've been here before. I remember how to use this. Thank you.

No problem, Kupo. Do you have questions?

Yes. Where am I? Oh- This doesn't need to be on. Not yet.

[ She glances down and finally turns off the sky phone. ]

[ Later, she'll add on a bit more: ]

It seems I've returned. How many of you remember me, I wonder?  How many are still here... Cecil...? Ceodore...

video - I was going to commentspam but self-control, trying it

[So Ceodore's been trying to figure out a way to tell his father than he wants to go with Ursula to Narshe. Every time he works up the nerve to broach the subject... something happens. So while he's stewing on it again, he happens to pick up the phone.]

[He knows that woman. HE KNOWS HER! That's his mother! Excitement is tangible and he rushes to respond.]

Mother! Mother, you're here! Where are you? Are you okay?!

video - commentspam away man XD

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

Ceodore! [ She looks so surprised but a little, selfishly, glad. ]

I'm in a place called the Tomb of... some unknown king, I think is what the moogle called it. It's nowhere I've ever seen. [ Nowhere that was there last time anyway. ]

Where are you? Are you in Troia? [ Please ask how she knows this. ]

video - LOL

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

A tomb?

[What is it with Gaia and people showing up in crypts anyway? First Ursula and now Mom.]

Yeah. Father and I both are. Kain and Ursula too.

[Well why wouldn't she know that? She was there with them before. And in a twist of assuming she remembers the last visit...]

He's back to the right age now. Oh! And Kain can walk again!

Your highness! Are you well?

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

Porom! I'm as well as can be expected. It's been so long since... [ She stops and shakes her head. ] I'm fine. Are you well, Porom?

[Video]

[praygenius.livejournal.com]

There was a...slight problem. But it's been resolved. I'm well.

Ceodore mentioned that you were here before some time ago. Circumstances aside, I'm glad to see another familiar face.

Rosa!

[Cecil's so overwhelmingly relieved to see her. One of the last things he remembers of home was ordering Rosa to flee the castle, added to Ceodore telling him most of what happened after that, he's been worried sick about Rosa's uncertain fate. The little detail that she's been here before goes completely over his head -- all that matters is that she's here.]

Where are you? I'll be there as soon as I can.

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ That voice! ]

Cecil! I- [ Wasn't he... younger here? About the same age she was... But she shakes that thought out of her mind and just smiles in relief. It doesn't matter. Her husband is here. ]

Cecil... [ Oh so much worry in that tone, but she'll hide it. If Gaia is still working on the same rules it had way back when, she doesn't want to tell him something he shouldn't know. ]

According to the moogle and the map on my phone, I'm in a place called 'Tomb of the Unknown King.' I think it's a little closer to Troia than I expected. Unless Troia's moved since I was here last.

[ And she honestly wouldn't be surprised if it has. ]

[trinitycrusades.livejournal.com]

[It is Rosa! It takes some experimentation on Cecil's part to actually figure out how to use the map and GPS function, but when he does, he finds her location quickly.]

Yes, it's close enough. I'm leaving right away.

[And he means it. He can already be seen moving around, preparing for the journey. There are few people he would just drop everything for to find: Rosa is one of them. Ceodore is another.]

Have you encountered any monsters there, or are you safe?

[Video]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

You are looking for Cecil and Ceodore? I believe they are currently in Troia.

[Video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

So Cecil hasn't left... Yes, thank you.

[ She offers a warm smile. ]

I don't believe we've met. I'm Rosa Harvey. [ Or if they have met before, forgive her lack of memory. ]

[Video]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

He has little reason to. He is in charge of Troia.

[Totally misinterpreting what she means. He nods in response to her introduction, then pauses.]

Harvey?

[video]

[danceawaypain.livejournal.com]

[Penelo stares at the post for a little bit, trying to convince herself she's not imagining things. She recognizes Rosa's voice. How could she not? But she seemed so different. Then again, Cecil was older too, wasn't he. After a moment's hesitation, she finally decides to speak up. If she's been forgotten yet again, she will deal with it.]

Rosa?

[video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ That voice... ]

Penelo! You're still here?

[video]

[danceawaypain.livejournal.com]

You remember! [And Penelo's smile grows tenfold.] Still here, yes. It hasn't been that long.

It's good to see you again.

[Hi, Rosa. Hope you don't mind the lack of volume control, since someone on this end is more than a little excited.]

Rosa! Are you alright? Where are you?

[Video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ Totally okay because this woman over here? Relieved. Still a little worried about what Rydia may or may not remember but overall relieved. ]

Rydia! I'm... Saying I'm in a tomb doesn't sound very good, but that's where I am. Ceodore and Cecil are coming for me.

[Video]

[monk-princess.livejournal.com]

[The young princess perks up immediately.]

Queen Rosa!

[Video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

Princess Ursula. Ceodore told me you were here. [ She smiles warmly. ] It's good to see you again.

[Video]

[dragoon-rising.livejournal.com]

Rosa...?

[Video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

Kain...

[ He looks young still. He might not know... everything she knows. She makes a note not to say anything. He doesn't need to know how badly things are. ]

Are you well?

[Video]

[sonoffigaro.livejournal.com]

[And this was not entirely what he expected. Edgar doesn't look any - okay, any noticably - older.]


...Rosa Farrell? Is that you?

[Video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ It takes her a moment to remember back over all those years, but she eventually comes up with the name. ]

...It's Edgar, correct? [ A smile. ] I'm Rosa Harvey now.

It looks as though a sound 'welcome back' is in order. If we've met before, you'll have to excuse my memory -- I don't recall my previous stays, though I'm told I have been here twice before. In which case, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[Video]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

I cannot recall, either. [ She looks apologetic. ] I remember most of the important occurrences, but it's fragmented. My previous stay feels a bit dreamlike at times. [ And then she smiles warmly. ] Previous meeting or not, it's good to meet you now. I am Rosa Harvey.
