[The video feed begins with the Sky Phone obviously on the stone floor, from its angle. Little can be seen at first except that and Ursula's legs. Her dress is torn and claw marks abound, blood dribbling downward from them. A column of light surrounds her as Chakra takes effect, easing those wounds somewhat.

Ursula sighs in relief, then mutters to herself.]

Where am I? This can't--

Hey! This is yours, kupo!

Huh?

[The princess's startled face can be seen as the screen wobbles a bit, the moogle holding it up to her.]

You ran off before I could give it to you!

[Ursula's back to glancing around warily.]

Sorry, but I can't stay here. Unless you can tell me how to leave this place, I really don't have the time--

These ruins are high in the air! You need an airship to leave, kupo!

What?! I don't--

[Suddenly, a loud screech drowns out Ursula's words. She whirls around to face the monster--and that's the last of what's seen before the moogle shrieks and drops the Sky Phone.]

Run!

[She doesn't need to tell the moogle twice. Its small feet can be heard running away from the beast as fast as possible. Meanwhile, Ursula runs toward it....]

I'll keep them safe, Your Majesty!



She must be quite the girl.

[action]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

She is.

[The change in Ceodore's demeanor is pretty noticeable. He's quite serious about how special Ursula is and how vital it is to rescue her.]

[action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

Then let's go save her! You can see how well a dancer fights.

[trinitycrusades.livejournal.com]

Not without me, you aren't.

[Cecil is right behind the pair of them in leaving straight away, and catches up quickly. Ursula is his responsibility, and he knows how rash Ceodore can be. Rosa might be angry with him for not consulting her first, but time is of the essence.]

[ There's a frantic Rosa searching desperately for Cecil now. Time is definitely of the essence. She understands that. Which is why she looks prepared as well. ] Cecil! Ceodore?

[ oh good, maybe she's caught them. ]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[He'd gripe about the hair ruffling if it weren't in such an all fire hurry to get the heck to where Ursula is.]

C'mon, let's go!

[And if someone doesn't beat him to it, the princeling is going to try his hand at flying the airship. Patience is not one of his virtues.]

[action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

Your Highness, the ship won't fly any faster simply because you will it. [She smiles. It's been a while since she's been on such an airship, but at least it's similar to those she grew up around. Despite her words she's already stretching her lithe muscles, preparing herself for what's to come.] Spend the time preparing your mind and body.

[action]

[trinitycrusades.livejournal.com]

Let me do the steering.

[And he's going to take over, protests or no. Cecil has decades worth of experience in flying airships and isn't about to let his son's rashness get them all killed. He sets a course for the northeast, directly to the ruins' location as is indicated on the Sky Phone's map.]

Has anyone contacted Ursula to see how she's doing?

[action]

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ Okay, it took a little longer to reach them than Rosa had been expecting, so she missed half of the conversation. But she got up there as quickly as she could, walking in just after Cecil's question. ]

As well as can be expected. We should hurry regardless.

[ With that pronouncement, she levels a Look at Cecil. "I will not be left behind." ]

[action] One serving of airship hair, coming right up! XD

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Ceodore won't complain about his father doing the flying as long as they are moving. His impatience is showing through and despite the excellent advice to get ready, he's pacing the floor.]

Mother, once we get close, can you Teleport us to her?

There's more monsters there than she can handle.

[And he'll be damned if she dies to them before they can get to her.]

[action] silly princelet!

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

[action] Porom's going to brutalise him with a hairbrush when they get back...

[trinitycrusades.livejournal.com]

[Cecil glances over his shoulder in surprise at his wife's voice.] Rosa...

[Would she ever stay where it was safe? After the near-miss on the Lunatic Pandora, he thought she might be more cautious, but she's just as insistent as ever on going everywhere with him. Still, now isn't the time for arguments, so he fixes his eyes ahead again and focuses on keeping them on course.]

Ceodore's suggestion is a good one, but we can't all go. One of us will have to stay behind to watch the airship.

[action] Rosa will probably help...

[byhissidealways.livejournal.com]

[ Because she'd been the one to get them out of that miss. :| For a brief moment, Rosa fears Cecil will try to force her off immediately, but the moment passes and she lets out a very soft breath of relief, turning to Ceodore. ]

I should be able to Teleport all of us. I see no reason why not. The airship will not go anywhere without us and I can Teleport us back to it once we have reached Ursula.

[ sob, she doesn't want to be left behind again, but if it's absolutely necessary, as long as she can still heal them from the distance... ]

[action] H-hey!

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

[Ceodore grins and then leans in to whisper in a conspirator's voice for Lilisette's sake.]

Watch this... this is the closest you'll ever see them get to fighting.

[The everlasting struggle of trying to keep his mother somewhere safe. Always entertaining to watch.]
