mooglenet_backup[Vague apology is going to be vague, but that's how Kain does these things. He'll leave it public partially as an act of penance, partially because he's still readjusting to these devices and their filters. He isn't even sure that all of these people are here- he's been gone from Gaia for only a couple weeks, but to him it feels much, much longer. Don't worry Zidane, when he realizes you're not here, he'll bother you when you arrive.]
Cecil. Squall. Onion Knight. Bartz. Firion. Zidane. I apologize to all of you, especially.
I should also extend that apology to the other warriors of Cosmos as well.
I'm... sorry.
[He's still recovering, but he can't finish this without offering:]
...and if anyone has need for another fighter, I can be there at once.

[He gets up, though he's entirely not up to it, but moving like a madman to seek his equipment.]
-beware! Death at their hands is permanent.
[Sort of.]

They're nothing but mindless, worthless puppets, who know only to kill. The pathetic things would be best off obliterated.

Date: 2011-04-27 01:58 am (UTC)...Right. That's better.
This conflict was fought between two gods, Chaos and Cosmos. Both had summoned a number of warriors to fight for their side. I was summoned by Cosmos.

Date: 2011-04-27 04:11 am (UTC)...but a warrior of Chaos told me about all of that. About the truth of our situation. If we fell to the manikins, it would mean death and oblivion, but if we fell to other warriors... we'd live to see the next cycle. But with so many manikins around, our fate seemed sealed. I knew something had to be done.
I formed a plan with another warrior of Cosmos...

Date: 2011-04-27 04:25 am (UTC)[And why does he need to apologize for it?]
[Voice/Filtered]
Date: 2011-04-27 04:38 am (UTC)...essentially to yield, that cycle. To remove our own warriors from the field. A defeat in the short term for an eventual victory overall. Because if our fighters were taken out by a real person, they'd at least be saved for the next cycle. We'd have a chance.

Date: 2011-04-27 05:10 am (UTC)[It weighs heavily upon him, and all the more to hear it said aloud.]
I at least... made sure I was the one who carried it out. I didn't have all of my memories, but I knew that I was already tainted with sin. Someone had to... There was little choice. I had to ensure they survived to see the next cycle.
I betrayed them. So that they might win.
[But betrayal is still betrayal and he doesn't take this lightly at all.]
[Voice/Filtered]
Date: 2011-04-27 05:18 am (UTC)How would this ensure their victory? The manikins would remain, would they not?
[Voice/Filtered]
Date: 2011-04-27 05:36 am (UTC)But we also learned the location of the rift from which the abominations emerged... If we closed that, our chances would be even better. The risk would be worth it.
