[In the midst of one of Alfitaria's town squares lies a lad. His weapon, a greatsword of unknown make, comprised mainly of burnished gold and blue steel lies at his side neatly and almost as respectfully as if the youth is dead. Yet dead he is not; his armored chest rises and falls deeply. And he's snoring. Loudly. He doesn't seem to be in any discomfort or have any injuries at all. He's merely sleeping-- though his sleep is deep enough to warrant complete and total exhaustion.
A moogle holds the skyphone, placing it's little face into the screen.]
K-Kupo?! Wake up, Kupopo!
Hello? Does this child belong to anyone?

Date: 2011-06-09 11:21 pm (UTC)You insolent dolt! Get up! Don't just lie there! Come on!
[video]
Date: 2011-06-09 11:30 pm (UTC)[He wrinkles his face up.]
How many times, mother... Five more minutes..
[video]
Date: 2011-06-09 11:36 pm (UTC)You know, your father is going to leave you if you sleep any later. Get up; it's time to face the day.
[video]
Date: 2011-06-09 11:41 pm (UTC)...Well. Apart from one thing. He visibly turns from the camera and the moogle, curling into a ball. His voice is sullen.]
...I do not care. He'll like be gone for months, anyway.
[video]
Date: 2011-06-09 11:51 pm (UTC)Don't be like that, Excenmille. What if something happened to him? You'd wish to see him off, would you not?
Excenmille. Wake up. Your friends...
[video]
Date: 2011-06-09 11:57 pm (UTC)The mention of what "friends" makes him think of Rahal, Machegue, Rholont, Bistillot and Cyraunce. That forces him awake. But...
...
This isn't his room. A strange, unknown place is before him. ...And that greatsword... It symbolizes the horrors of the war for him. There is no more Machegue. There is no more of his mother. There is no more of his father. He abandons gaping in horror at the town, to check his ears for any linkpearls. Finding none, he glares at the moogle before springing upward and grabbing his sword -- heaving it upward between two arms and pointing it directly at the creature.]
You cur! ...You would drop poison into my ears?!
Prepare yourself for the beyond!
[Unsurprisingly, he doesn't assume the voice comes from the strange box on the floor.]

Date: 2011-06-09 11:27 pm (UTC)A child? Is he hurt?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-09 11:32 pm (UTC)[By now he's curled up, trying to muffle the voices and the light.]
...Hn.

Date: 2011-06-09 11:57 pm (UTC)[She crouches down by him, nudging his shoulder gently.]
Hey.

Date: 2011-06-10 12:02 am (UTC)...Who...
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-10 12:24 am (UTC)I'm Rydia. Listen, it's not a good idea to be sleeping out in the town square. Let's get you to a real bed, okay?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-10 12:31 am (UTC)He looks up, and his eyes widen.]
Rahal!
Is he here too?!
[He looks around. Futile, he knows. But if there was any chance..
Yes, he's struggling to get to his feet.]
A knight cannot rest on his laurels while a task remains unto him. My erstwhile teacher taught me that--
[And yes, all four foot nothing of him is staggering- a gauntleted hand rising to his head. He's that exhausted, he can barely stand.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-10 12:57 am (UTC)What task is that?
[Action]
Date: 2011-06-10 01:02 am (UTC)...Rahal. He is a comrade-- no.. a friend of mine. He risked his neck to stop me coming from harm at the hands of an accursed, cowardly foe- Zogbog. And thus great harm shall come to him should I not find him. I and my tutor received confirmation he was held in a network of caves and engaged a company of Orcish statues. We had not located him. The biggest....
...It was to detonate.

Date: 2011-06-10 06:38 pm (UTC)Curiosity, though, gives way to concern. He doesn't know the kid, but he can't just leave him like that.]
Um... Moogles? He's probably new. I don't think his parents will be here.
[video]
Date: 2011-06-10 06:52 pm (UTC)We can't take him with us, kupo!
What are we going to do? We can't wait until he wakes up, either...
Kupopo...
[video]
Date: 2011-06-10 07:00 pm (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-06-10 07:20 pm (UTC)Don't say that! You'll put him off, and we'll have to carry him all the way to Midgar, kupopopo! I don't know about you, but I won't be able to fly for weeks afterward, even if there were twenty of us!
[video]
Date: 2011-06-10 07:49 pm (UTC)[That... makes things a lot more difficult. Just short of jumping on the next ship or airship departure headed that way -- and Light would kill him -- there's not a lot he can do.]
Can you wake him up? Maybe there are other people from his world here besides his mom and dad. Or maybe there are people in Alfitaria who can help.
[video]
Date: 2011-06-11 12:36 pm (UTC)Even an earthquake wouldn't wake him.
...
Kupopopo...
...We'll keep trying though, kupo! He has to wake up sometime... right?
