[Cloud is sat on the bed and his eyes are a little wider than they necessarily need to be. He is actually very, very frightened right now. Of course, the only sign of that is how wide his eyes are. He isn't going to start having any panic attacks or get outwardly upset at all and only the people he is close to would realise he's not exactly having a good moment.]

Did all of you see Sephiroth's video? [His voice is shaking at first but he quickly evens it out.]

The fact he has his wing can't be a good thing. Sephiroth didn't have a wing until he went insane. I don't know if he's snapped again, but...

[There's a small pause where he looks away from the screen.] We have to be alert. If he starts causing distruction, you know what I have to do.

Tifa, if he does something while you're away, I'll leave the kids with Cid or Firion... I can't just let him destroy Gaia.

[He takes a slow breath in and shakes his head.] Let's just hope he's still sane.

[Cloud lets out a shaky sigh and cuts the feed.]

[Vincent is not in the best state. His hair is wild and messy, not held back as it usually is by his headband. He's covered with small cuts, and there is dried blood at the corner of his mouth. He is cradling his head in his hands.]

I'm sure you all have your suspicions, after that announcement. [He sighs, and rubs his forehead as if trying to get rid of a headache.] I... lost control of Chaos. He is sated for now, but... eventually, it may happen again. Or one of the other demons might emerge. There is no doubt that if anyone sees my next transformation, they will make the connection that I am this demon of theirs, and will come after me.

I can barely keep the demons in check, any more. Chaos least of all. [He swallows hard, then turns his gaze unflinchingly to the camera.] If I transform again, you all cannot hesitate to attack. Kill me. I will not stand for having Chaos running amok on this planet hurting innocents, and if he takes over, I may never gain control again.

[A pause before he delivers his last piece of news.] I'm going to Wutai to meet with Sephiroth. Once that is finished, I may come back to Lindblum.

Greetings all,

I am Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa, formerly known as Chief of Draklor Laboratories. In retaliations of the claims brought to my attention regarding my research as of late, I feel as if I need to clear the air publicly regarding my profession. As I previous stated I am the chief researcher of the renowned weapons research facility within my home of Ivalice, who’s specialty lies within the creation of battle droids known as ‘Rooks’ along with work regarding manfacted nethicite.

As some of you may know, there has been a public claim stating that I’ve abused by power and creed as a scientist upon a being known as ‘Nanaki’. While the accusations are horrendously fanciful, I do admit that I have wrongly harmed this being in my pursuit for knowledge. While threats were made towards Nanaki or his friends are false at best, I do admit to having harmed Nanaki during my research. Have I known he was a sentient life form; I would have never persisted with my research.

Within Ivalice, creatures such as Nanaki do not exist and I was far too eager to study him in the comforts of my laboratory. However, coming to realize the error of my ways, Nanaki was freed but not before several armed strangers attacked me within the governor’s mansion in Wutai. Suffering more than just a bruised ego, I’ve been detained to a bed for quite some time before being able continue with my work.

Thinking that all was well, I assumed that Nanaki and I were on better terms before he began to slander my name in public. I brought it to his attention in a polite manner numerous times but all my efforts were in vain. With that said, I no longer persisted in the issue in hopes that Nanaki wouldn’t continue to slander me.

However, it would seem that I was wrong for the name-calling continues. While I hope for nothing else other than for the two of us to be at peace, it seems as if Nanaki desires for my blood to be split. Even now, he has gathered support against me in the form of violence.

Thus, this is why I humbly give my apologies to all those affected by this nasty incident. I merely wish for Nanaki and me to come an understanding in order to bring this mild crisis an end.

Again, I do sincerely apologize to Nanaki and his comrades for the discord caused by my hands.

Thank you for your time,
Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa

[ Nanaki is sitting in front of the camera, blocking out the background and having masked his GPS signal. He is obviously agitated, tail twitching back and forth, and while he's certainly more healthy than he once was (Aerith's healing worked, or at least seems to have worked), there's now a slightly strange shade to both his eyes and the flame on his tail. ]

Dr. Cid has contacted me again. As some of you may know, the man was responsible for my kidnapping and subsequent experimentation with a substance called nethicite. Now, he is threatening not only myself, but the lives of my friends, if I do not stop informing people of what he has done.

[ He frowns, glancing away from the camera for a moment before he looks back at it. ]

As you can see, I have not stopped. This message, therefore, is both an announcement and a warning. The man called Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa lured me away and, with the use of machines called 'Rooks', kidnapped me and then tortured me for his own twisted experiments. I was left deathly ill for a long time after my subsequent rescue. Because I have warned people about his ways, he is accusing me of slander and has threatened to both harm me -- I believe he said both that he would turn me into a rug and send his Rooks after me once more -- and my friends.

[ Nanaki's ears flatten against his skull. ]

Tifa, he knows about your engagement. He knows where you are, and he mentioned your name directly. He has said that he will make it so your wedding will never occur.

[ One ear flicks up, and he sighs. ]

I do not want anyone to come to harm, but I cannot do that by staying silent about his past crimes. Forgive me, my friends, for bringing this danger onto you by spreading the truth -- but it has to be known.

[ With a fierce determination in his eyes, looking remarkably like his late father and a true Cosmo warrior, Nanaki stands. ]

I would rather sacrifice myself to help all of you than to remain silent like a coward. I am Nanaki, Son of Seto, the last protector of Cosmo Canyon. I will live up to my father's legacy. I will stop this man, but I will do it for my friends, not for myself.

[ Then the video ends. ]

You there. Fuzzball!

Must you go around slandering my name whenever it is convenient, little kitty? I'm becoming a tad annoyed with you, annoyed enough to send a few Rooks your way if you continue to damage my reputation here.

Now, I know for a fact that your lovely friend, Tifa, is getting married within Lindblum. Any idiot with eyes can see her message since she was quite bold to post it in public. Therefore, perhaps you should tread lightly or your little friends' wedding shall never be. Do we have an understanding, Nanaki?

If so, then I do hope you understand to keep your mouth SHUT in the near future or else I will use your pelt for a new rug in my office.

Yours Truly,
Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa

[Mjrn's curled up on a bed, perhaps a little drowsy but looking rather content.]

This was a good decision.

I am grateful for the hospitality offered at the Strahl, but the time was ripe for another path. At least we now have the means to achieve this, thanks to Balthier's generosity. This airship will serve Vaan -all of us- well. I only hope that I may be of some aid.

[She stretches and smiles a little upon hearing cheeps in the background, angling the screen so that her cockatrice friend is visible. The round little bird peers up at the shiny thing her Viera friend is holding out of range, more curious cheeping as she waddles over.]

Chit is well, and content to be with us. I am most grateful to Rinoa and Quistis for seeing to her welfare earlier. It seemed incredible to me that she arrived in Gaia also, but no matter. I will gladly tend to her until she may return to the village.

I do not believe there is a destination planned but if not, I shall request a route to Lindblum. There are faces I wish to see again, and I remember the city with fondness.

Jote...are you well?

You are yet within the city, yes? I would visit you, if so.

[The day after this thread. Tifa is sitting in her room in Lindblum Grand Castle, looking nervous and uncertain.]

I suppose... there's something I should say.

Cloud... asked me to marry him last night. And I said yes. We're engaged!

[She nods, smiling, before ending the message.]

[Lingering about within the entrance of the Theater District of Lindblum, Aerith took a generous bite out of the Banora apple she plucked from a passing fruit stand. Waiting for the arrival of her two friends, the flower girl began to ponder ways to end the strife that has came between Nanaki and Cloud as of late.]

Those two better not have stood me up...[She sighs deeply.]

[The video begins with a close-up of Quistis. Judging by the expression she's wearing, she's obviously annoyed about something.]

Excuse me. A strange bird appeared in my room this morning, and it's been following me around all day...

[She shifts the phone so that it shows an exotic bird sitting in the middle of her dorm room. It gives the camera a rather happy squawk, which earns a small sigh from Quistis before she aims the device back towards herself.]

If the bird belongs to someone, I'd appreciate it if the owner could contact me so they can retrieve the animal. It's been rather... restless.

[Another squawk can be heard, and the video ends.]

Citizens of Gaia:

I, Regent Cid of Lindblum, wish to send you all a message of hope. This past winter has been hard on everyone. We have experienced food shortages, monster invasions, unprovoked attacks, and only a few days ago, we were plunged into visions we most likely didn't want to see. 

But through this turmoil, I am proud to say that the people of Gaia have remained strong. I am proud to serve people of such courage and fortitude. I promise you now, spring will come and we will work to ensure a prosperous future. We won't allow those who would destroy that future to run amok! The madman Kefka was recently sighted in Lindblum. To ensure the safety of all citizens, I am increasing the number of knights patrolling the streets, as well as introducing automated defenders known as rooks to protect us all. He won't set foot here again, you can be sure of that.

Rest assured that I and other heads of state are working to set things right. No-one can know exactly what lies ahead, but we can be ready for it.

[The audio clicks on but at first there is nothing but silence heard. It goes on like this for a few more minutes before hushed words are actually spoken.] It's over now. I'm glad.

[A sad sigh could be heard from her along with maybe a sniffle or two.] I wish more happier memories were made before that day but at least we won.

We won. That is all that matters.

[Hesitating to say so much more than this but at least she has a few messages for friends and acquaintances alike.]

[There is a pause, as if the person is collecting their thoughts. The sound of fabric rustling can be heard, but other than that there is a surprisingly small amount of background noise.]

I'm in a church. [The voice of the speaker is obviously male, deep and a bit rough.]

The... moogle, said that I was a "Sky Person." [He hesitates, obviously unsure of what exactly that should mean to him.] I was just on the Sierra, and yet now I find myself here, with no memory of anything in between. If this is a hallucination, it's a believable one, except for the moog- Ah!

[There is a completely involuntary gasp of pain from the man, and the Sky Phone creaks as his grip tightens dangerously around it.]

[Cloud sighs before speaking, obviously not enjoying his stay in Memoria, the same with everyone.]

Tifa, I've got to do something with Queen Garnet. I might be here a while...

Denzel, Marlene, you guys okay? Shelke... I know you can handle yourself.

[A pause for a moment.]

Nanaki, are you... okay? I know this can't be good on you... [He sighs again, ending the transmission.]
[identity profile] heartofheaven.livejournal.com
[ooc: Backdated slightly to just after the conversation in this post.]

Denzel? Shelke? Are you guys okay?

I'm in a place called Memoria... If you can call it a place. But I don't think I'm the only one. It doesn't seem to be dangerous exactly, but I want to know if everyone is safe. Eiko seemed to think that all this is the doing of some guy called Garland. So has this kind of thing happened before?

For a moment there, I thought I'd been dunked in the Lifestream...

Are all trapped within Memoria?

My sisters and friends, how do you fare? I wish to know that you are safe. Please, inform me when you are able.

I am grateful to have companions, though I seek to depart this realm as soon as I am able. May the advice given facilitate this.

[He remembers climbing stairs, counting them out of habit - a trick of training observational skills taught in elementary anatomy over four decades ago. Fifty five and not even halfway up. So many steps for such a tired old man. So many lights, blurred by the Midgar rain with its tinge of green bringing the smell of acid and regret.

Sephiroth - the singular thought. Hojo's own life and that of the Silver General's, cumulating to this spectacular moment. Sephiroth - the only true success, he who exceeded all of Hojo's grandest predictions and is about to do so again.

A vial of glowing green and several capsules rest in a metal case within Hojo's inner pocket - the promises of his last surrender. The sound of his heartbeat is as loud as that of rain striking metal at his feet. Hojo is happy. About to give up everything to see Sephiroth rise and cast off the last chains which bind him to humanity, the professor finds himself truly happy, for the first time in years.

Until the flash goes off in his peripheral vision, and he stumbles.

And wakes up in another place of lights, without the rain.]


What-

What is this? [There is a slight note of panic in his voice, the sound of shuffling as he takes a few tentative steps. The next jumble of words come out in the low, urgent tone of one who is accustomed to speaking to himself.]

Hallucinatory side-effects of the J-cell treatment? But- the calculated induction dose should be too low to penetrate into the central nervous system. The rate of infection is slow, initially slow- It is the next dose which contains the lipophilic mutagen-

[A few choppy breaths, then a growl of frustration:] Sephiroth!

Oh, uh... this isn't good... [There's a pause.]

Cloud? Tifa? Denzel? Daddy? Are any of you here?

[Another pause.] This place is so big...

[With the drumming of translucent pearl hued raindrops falling against her crimson hat and shoulders, Freya looked as if she was quite drenched as she flicked on the camera mode. It seems to be as stormy as ever within Burmecia, a fact that seems to be always true when regarding that gloomy nation. Gazing up towards the ominous gray clouds above, the dragoon knight let out a sigh.]

I take my leave from Burmecia, once more but only for a brief errand.

Delita-[Glancing back towards the camera now.] Are you well? If you've arrive in Lindblum, contact me. As I have promised, I shall met you there.

[Leaning in to turn off the device, Freya hesitates momentarily to do so in favor of stating a few choice words to the battle weary public.]

...Value your lives more than you've done before for without Death, Life becomes pointless.

[End of transmission.]
