[action/video] - Portal at Matoya's Cave (Open to all)

[notathiefcole.livejournal.com]

[Locke's been acting a little different today in Figaro. It's nothing large enough that a stranger would notice, but he's a little quieter at breakfast, a tad more helpful than normal, and the like. He makes sure to spend a little time all his friends in Figaro before quietly heading off to his room.]

[He takes the opportunity to pick some fresh flowers, per Edgar's suggestion placing them outside Celes' door as well as leaving a friendship flower for Terra.]

[He methodically fills his pack with any thing he might need and check his daggers for any signs of wear.]

[Right before he leaves, in an effort to not scare his friends too much he takes off his trademark bandanna and leaves it in a prominent place for friends to find before heading off.]

[As much as he wants to protect his friends, he has yet to determine how to accomplish the feat. There are many thoughts to balance out in his head. One one hand, they need his help in defeating Garland and setting the world straight. On the other hand, he's concerned that his re-appearance might be causing them undue pain and be a distraction from the real issue at hand.]

((His phone is on and the GPS still enabled if anyone wants to contact him.))

[There's a young boy near the portal. He might be a little familiar, he was hanging around Figaro a lot before Locke left for the first time. He's frowning]

...what do you think you're doing?

[Incoming phone call, Locke. Terra just returned from Luca and she can't find you.]

[She sees those flowers and Celes doesn't like what this might mean. Combined with everything else going on... No, if she loses him a second time. She grips her phone tightly in hand and then calls him. Please, goddesses...]

[The benefit of providing a cadre of moogles housing and workspace is that there's always one or two willing to do you a favor. So, using his "skills," Edgar had gotten one of them to stick a track on Locke's GPS for him after the thief returned. He got into enough insane situations for one to be necessary (Orbonne Monstary will never leave Edgar's mind).]

[So Locke's getting a phone call when Edgar notices exactly where his signal places him on Gaia. Pick up, Locke - your best friend would like a word with you.]

[Marlene's near the portal too, playing with one of her dolls.]

I didn't think anyone wanted to leave, Mister.

Doing alright there?

[Keeping the portal open occupies much of Rinoa's time, but when she notices who's there, she has to take a break. She runs up to him, breathless.]

Locke? What are you doing here? Are you leaving?

[Ellone glances up when Locke walks near.]

A lot of people have been coming just to look at the portal.

[It's an offer to talk if he wants it.]
