[H/W - Unbeknownst Video ]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

[The video opens with a certain pilot sleeping away, leaned up against a water fountain with rather colorful display behind. Oh, and a few moogles hovering around him in an almost vain attempt to awake him from a previously drunken stupor.]

He's not waking up, kupo... [One covers its mouth in worry.]

[Another shakes its head.] And he smells like a bar!

[One final other, with little paws on it's hips, sighs;] Try waking him up again, kupo!

[Cid's cheek gets poked and he flinches with a little grumble, swatting a hand at nothing.] Nngh... goddamn... bugs...

.... Again, kupo. [The pilot then gets his hair sharply tugged and he snaps to alert, that idly swatting hand suddenly moving with reason; sending a moogle to fly off-screen and hit the ground with a small noise.]

H-holy shi—you alright? [He moves to sit up more, wavering and leaning over to the floating again creature.]

Just fine, kupo! [Then, the three moogles all start to fly off, the one that was hit pointing to the screen.] This is your new phone!

[The voices start to fade off.] Welcome to Gaia! Take care!

Goodbye, kupo~!

.... "Welcome ta Gaia"? ... No shit. Where the hell else would I be? [Cid flops back down to light a cigarette, looking around suspiciously. ] Though I dunno where the hell this place is, [He starts getting up, taking a long drag and reaching for his new phone.] Pretty sure I was home in bed when I passed out. [Came the sigh and puff of smoke as he closed his phone, the transmission ending.]

Whoa, be careful! I woke up in Treno, too, and nearly lost everything I had in my pockets! The pickpockets out there are shameless! And fast like freaks.

Goddamn, this sounds like a hell'ova town. [It's said in pure sarcasm as Cid starts to look around a bit suspiciously at his dark surroundings.]

Well, I'd like 'em ta pick a pocket and see how far they get, [He laughs, grinning slightly.] not too far I'd wager.

[Video]

[blue-desperado.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they didn't get too far with me, either. Just wanted to let you know you should stay on your toes! And welcome to Gaia!

[Video]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Thanks, buddy. I probably would'a figured that out right quick but I appreciate the heads-up.

And I gotta feelin' this ain't my Gaia.

I'd say you're right, you don't look local. The clothes and all.

A lot of us come from all different worlds. For some of us, Gaia's been a great second chance.

[Cid stopped at the comment, starting at the screen. He didn't dress that differently. Not at all!] The hell's wrong with my clothes? This is what pilots wear!

[Decommissioned pilots, anyway. And he looked a little funny too, this wasn't one a one way thing.] You tellin' me this is some kinda nexus?

[Video]

[blue-desperado.livejournal.com]

Nothing's wrong with 'em! Looks a lot like what people wear where I'm from, but here on Gaia, you see a lot of armor n' robes and stuff.

[He tilts his head.] Sort of, yeah. We've all been pulled here from our respective homeworlds... but there's no way back.

[Video]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

[He pauses, staring at him for a second.] Alright, so then that makes sense. [Armor and robes was pretty weird to him so, he was weird to them.]

Oh, that's fuckin' wonderful. Absolutely no way at all? Who the hell brought us here?

It all boils down to being caused by this guy named Garland. We're workin' on puttin' a stop to his wacky hijinks, though.

[Video]

[gtfomyhighwind.livejournal.com]

Yeah? And how's that goin'? I've tried doin' that shit a few times too; ain't easy.

You know? I've got a pretty good feeling about it this time around. I've done my share of it back home, too.
