[Video Calls + Action]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

[Lili is finally fully recovered and ready to set out after the journey to the Wind Shrine. She'll be wandering around Troia for a little bit. If anyone there would like to say hello, feel free to do so. She's slowly making her way to the airship docks.

In the meantime she also wants to call a few people to check in on them. So here's her list of calls (even though some of you probably don't keep your phones on you...):

○ Rishfee
○ Vincent
○ Excenmille
○ Mjrn
○ Angeal

So do your friend a favor and pick up! She's worried about all of you.

And, later, she'll be in Lindblum. And free to attack there, because she loves seeing people.]

[Angeal's a little shocked to hear his phone go off so he jumps in his skin a little, brushing his hair back before he picks up.

And then there's a smile on his face; he looks much more healthy now.] Lilisette, it's good to see you.

[video]

Angeal! How are you? Are you feeling better? Have you gotten used to Gaia yet?

[Video]

[Mjrn's leaning against a tree when she answers the sky phone, Chit waddling over and peering into the device as well.]

Lilisette! How do you fare?

[video]

[boundinhonour.livejournal.com]

[He's glad to see she's happy too, that smile sticking to his face for awhile. She even gets a chuckle out of him from the barrage of questions.]

I'm doing just fine, I'm feeling much better and I've still got a little more growing to do before I can be used to this place.

How are you doing?

[video]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

But you've met up with your friends, right? Did everything work out with them?



I'm doing all right. It feels as if I've been all over the place lately, but I finally feel as if I'm back on my feet.

Mjrn! I'm doing fine. We survived the Wind Shrine and a woman named Lufene. A nasty little snake of a woman...



I wanted to see if you were faring well. How are you and Chit doing?

[Video]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Chit, hearing her name, cheeps. Mjrn gently brushes her aside just a little, so that she can readjust the screen.]

We are well, though I have been scarce of late. I was occupied with myrrh collection.

[Her mind isn't on that, but what Lilisette just said, though.]

Lufene? I have had the misfortune of encountering her as well. Did she seek the crystals?

[Video]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

She came to us for the crystal, and apparently then assaulted the other groups. But she only said a few words and played around before she was gone again. It was more psychological than anything.



Have you been helping others gather myrrh? It seems there are all manner of beasts guarding them. I hope you've not been tiring yourself out too much.

[Mjrn shakes her head.]

I have taken no more than I can manage, but much is yet required. The chalices must be filled and there are many trees left to visit.

[She frowns in thought.]

...given your experience with Lufene, I now wonder if she will follow us to the trees as well. How much of our plans are truly secret?

[video]

[boundinhonour.livejournal.com]

I've met up with one of them, yes. We've taken a detour before going about our business. [He moves the camera to turn around to view an open field with white, arched trees with purple fruit on them. And a redhead in a long crimson jacket off in the distant.] This is very much like our home, we couldn't help but stop here to see it for ourselves.

[He turns the screen back just in time to see that timid nature come out and he shakes his head softly. Didn't she remember what he said?] That's good. And you have been all over the place, haven't you? You came a long way to help me, after all. We haven't been in contact since but I doubt you slowed down much.

[video]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

It's beautiful...

I've never seen trees like those before. You had them in your home? I'm glad there's at least something familiar for you.

I've been spending the past week recovering from a recent trip. We were assaulted by a dragon with three heads and accosted by hurricane winds. It took much out of me, but I'm better now.

When Lufene found us she said that she knew what we were after, and that she was there to give it to us. But I know not what she was referring to.

I don't know what she said to those at the other shrines, but it would seem she knows much of our plan.

[Video/Filtered]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

She knew what....

[Mjrn stiffens.]

She meant to deliver us to Garland?!? That was the purpose of returning the crystals to the shrines, that we might learn his location.

...yet, I cannot fathom why she would expect trust from us. Not after the strife caused by her hand.

[Video/Filtered]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

Truly? She would know?



She seemed like she wished for some kind of reward from us in exchange... The crystal, maybe? Or even one of us? She took interest in Kain and I especially.

But why would she betray Garland if she's in league with him?

[Video/Filtered]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn frowns sharply at the idea of Lufene taking either Kain or Lilisette.]

Perhaps she wishes to unseat him, that she may continue her work alone.

[Vincent does keep his phone on him here. It's occasionally useful, and the others don't use it to bother him much. It's a moment before he answers it, but he actually looks at the screen of it when he does.]

Lilisette.

[scarletgriffon.livejournal.com]

[A call? For him? Quite surprising. He answers of course, fully accustomed to the skyphone thanks to Rydia.]

...Yes? How did your objective fare?

[video]

[immortal-lion.livejournal.com]

[There's a bit of a delay with answering the phone. If Lilisette looks carefully at the video, she'll see a few oddly shaped hands that look more like claws on it, maybe a twitching, pink nose here or there. And a lot of excited shrieking.]

Immooooooortal!
Immoooooortal linkbox goooo riiiiing!
riiiingringroon!
Immooooortal come, ya?

[Then he answers. His face is still marred from the fight with the Experimental Lamia though healing slowly; and he still walks with a slight limp. But he answers.]

Lilisette? Are you well?

[He's not expecting the call, obviously.]

[Video/Filtered]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

That may be so. It simply doesn't sit right with me, though. I wonder at times if I should find a way to meet with her again, to find out more.

Vincent Valentine.



How are you faring? I didn't get to check in on you much after the battle...



I just wanted to be certain you're all right.

[Video]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

We made it through all right, and accomplished our goal. So it went well, I suppose.



How are you doing? Are you staying out of trouble?

[Video/Filtered]

[dewdrop-pebbles.livejournal.com]

[Mjrn's eyes widen.]

Lilisette, she cannot be trusted. She cares nothing for this world or its people; all she has ever done has been in the name of destruction. Her words are meant to ensnare and confuse, in order to fuel her plans. There is nothing to be gained from seeking her.

[video]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. I wanted to see how you were doing, though it seems you're still refusing healing. Perhaps I shall have to return so I can force some healing on you.



Also, I wished to apologize for leaving so suddenly. I had a friend I wished to see, and...



I wasn't yet ready to speak about... what happened.

[video]

[immortal-lion.livejournal.com]

I am regenerating. It merely takes a long time. I will be well soon.

[His words are truth. There's just... a lot of damage to fix, so needless to say his body, or more accurately, the cobalt isn't bothering with superficial wounds -- so he looks a little worse than what he actually is. He forces a smile, eyes lowering to the floor. He's just about to apologize for the wrong way they seemed to meet, what was said, but--

--Yes, that.]

...It was the Dark Divinities presence, wasn't it...

[Video/Filtered]

[futurefab.livejournal.com]

I won't run off and do it. Not until we know more about what she might be plotting, and not until I fill my chalice.



I didn't mean to worry you. I apologize.
