mooglenet_backup[Jecht's general cheeriness isn't present: not today. Today he's all business, all seriousness, as he sits, Sky Phone placed on the floor and looking up at him, somewhat reminiscent of the spheres he left behind on Spira for his son.
A rehearsed conversation, then? You'd be guessing right. He's set up the appropriate filters - to all the Warriors of Cosmos he already knew, and to those he's remembered - Lightning, Kain, Laguna, Tifa, Vaan (though he doesn't register as being on Gaia), and... Yuna - and those of Chaos he's made peace with from the thirteenth cycle, namely, Golbez and Gabranth. Even though the feed has started, Jecht still doesn't say a word, fidgeting, instead. After a minute or so, he finally does speak.]
I've been thinkin' of all the ways to put this. Yer'd... think I'd have figured out what exactly to say with all the time, but, no... not got there yet.
... guess I'll give yer'all the simple version.
The God's war. [A pause.] Y'all know I was on Chaos. But there were bits and pieces that I remembered. Stuff that didn't fit in with the rest. Eventually I got to figurin' a couple of things...
There was another cycle. And that cycle, I was with Cosmos. One of 'er warriors.
[Another pause.] ... everythin' else? Huh. No idea. But it's been comin' back, and now it's all up here. [He indicates his head with a hand.] Who was there, who was fightin'... how I changed to being one of Chaos' pawns.
The Emperor, an' Chaos. [The name earns a scoff.
As to how it lead to that, though, he doesn't say. Jecht tries a few times to say that part, but... comes up with nothing. And... even though this is another of those times that it's terrible to inarticulate about feelings for, on this occasion, he won't say it. He's proud to have saved his son. Proud of what his son achieved. Proud of Yuna, too. Even though that's how he does feel, he says nothing. There's something he needs to know, first.]
Kid? We need to talk. Now.
[And, the feed ends.]

Sir Jecht? I'm sorry.. I don't remember.

Date: 2011-06-10 10:12 am (UTC)[To the point where he was practically showing off what he'd done to Jecht to everyone.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-06-10 11:37 am (UTC)[His first instinct is to reject the idea of it. There were too many differences between those who followed Cosmos and those who followed Chaos. Yet... Jecht wasn't like the Emperor, or Garland. And there's something in his memories that supports what Jecht is saying.]
I suppose it must be so.

Date: 2011-06-10 05:08 pm (UTC)[Forget all the other things he said, just that man's name is enough to ping Firion into action. He may not have any memories of the previous cycles but he has no reason to doubt that they did indeed exist and if the Emperor had done something to a fellow warrior to turn him away from the cause of good...]
What did that man do to you to take you away from Cosmos' side?

Date: 2011-06-10 09:40 pm (UTC)[Brainwashed, to the side of Chaos? Kain is very angered for his sake, he hates to see anyone go through that fate.]
That's a fate that no one deserves.
[same filter/voice]
Date: 2011-06-10 09:44 pm (UTC)I would not be surprised. I did not see you in the initial transition between cycles.

Date: 2011-06-10 10:28 pm (UTC)Sorry, buddy. I don't remember a lick of it, but it sounds like pretty heavy stuff.

Date: 2011-06-11 02:07 pm (UTC)[THIS IS A VERY ARTICULATE RESPONSE.]
Well, if that clown and the cloud can mess with people's heads like that...

What happened, then? Is it becoming clearer?
[ Same Filter, Video ]
Date: 2011-06-12 02:30 am (UTC)[Call it being knocked out on the floor for much of the rest of the 12th cycle, and not having the luxury of memories in the 13th like most of the rest of Chaos.]

Date: 2011-06-12 02:39 am (UTC)[And boy, he does not like it. Raw anger is bubbling below the surface right now, and it's visible on his face. It's rather fortunate he's more calm than he was in bygone days. Given time, it'd simmer: but the memories are new, raw. That helps nothing.]
Dammit. I hadn't wanted it to end that way.

Date: 2011-06-12 02:43 am (UTC)I was 'is prize.
... something happened. [Not exaggerating on the something, for now. He needs to talk to Tidus first.] And he took me away; the shell that was left, yer? And offered me as a vessel to Chaos.
[Same Filter]
Date: 2011-06-12 02:45 am (UTC)... Yer. It's... a fate I'd rather not see again.
