1st moon [accidental video]

[vibrafinal]

Did... did we fail? Did that being somehow kill us all?

[The video post must accidental, because it shows a naked, pale male chest. It looks like someone is holding his journal against himself in a desperate attempt to ward off the cold.]

I cannot remember him attacking... Perhaps I hit my head? But would the afterlife not heal such wounds? [The sound of rustling hair.] No blood, and no swelling. Perhaps the wound can be healed, but the amnesia cannot? ...I suppose it matters not, in the end.

[His feet barely make any noise on the ground, but his body is obviously moving, even from such a close range.]

I should be thankful I appear to be the only one present at least. Perhaps Ceodore and the others have survived... As long as this crisis is averted, my death is an acceptable price to pay. But still, I’d hoped...

[But whatever he’d hoped, he does not say.]

...I should try to find my sword and shield. This afterlife might not be as pleasant as it appears to be.

It might make you feel better to know this isn't the afterlife.

Are you alright there?

[Locke will now be getting a better view of Cecil, as he dropped his journal to take a defensive stance.]

Who is there? Show yourself!

[...Not that the voice sounded particualrly threatening, but he'd rather not take any chances.]

[there's a head scratch, he really has to remember to mention the device first. placing the journal so it's directed in front of him Locke raises his hands.

that's the second time in a week he's startled someone]

I'm talkin' through that journal you're holding...er were holding, from another one somewhere else.

I'm guessing you just arrived?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Through this book?

[He picks up said book and starts peering at it.]

Ah, yes, I do believe I can see you. I suppose it must work like Whisperweed, then, though with a visual component.

[Oh, that's right, the man had asked a question.]

I indeed suddenly found myself in this forest. Are you absolutely certain this is not the afterlife?

[video]

[lolstealing.livejournal.com]

That's the one. I'm not sure what that is but I'm sure the two work in similar ways.

I'm certain. Even though the wings might give that impression. [he points his thumb to his back even if his own wings are covered]

[There's a thump and an 'ow' to go with it, then a scrambling noise and a very loud--]

CECIL?!?

[Voice]

[paladinlost]

[Oh dear, they really did get all killed.]

Rydia? Rydia, are you unharmed? Do you remember what sort of attack he used?

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Babble time, because she has too many questions.]

What? Who do you--no, I'm fine--where are you? Do you see any landmarks?

[still video]

[paladinlost]

I see nothing but trees. Are Rosa, Kain and Edge with you? What about everyone else? And where are you? I cannot see you anywhere.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[And now her speech is more coherent, though still pretty swift.]

Rosa, no, Edge, no, Kain...sort of. He's...away at the moment. I'll explain about that later. Ceodore is here, though. And I should tell you two things; this isn't the afterlife and I'm from a time from before Ceodore was born.

[Pause.]

I know that sounds strange, but I swear I'll make more sense when we meet. Hm...just trees? If you hear running water, go towards that. I'll start looking for you.

Father?!

[Wait, what is this stuff about being dead?! And uh... wait wait wait! There was something way more important!]

You remember me?!

[video]

[paladinlost]

[And this is where Cecil's day just gets better and worse at the same time.]

Ceodore? But you were supposed to be- Of course I remember you, why would I not?

[video]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Well, when you came back before you didn't. Where are you?

[video]

[paladinlost]

When I came back before?

[Daddy is completely lost here, kiddo.]

Rydia asked the same question. I'm in a forest, and there is a stone structure slightly further away. Where are you?

[video]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Sounds like one of the New Feather Shelters. Uh, is there any water nearby?

Oh, I'm at the house.

[Voice]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Cecil... So you're with us again.

I have one bit of good news for you. We aren't dead.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Golbez? Was the whole second group also slain? ...Not dead?

Your voice has an echo to it. Are you in a cave? I see nothing but trees here.

[video]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Second group... No, never mind, we can discuss that later. It's still winter here and I'm guessing you don't have your equipment yet.

Do you see any landmarks? Anything at all besides trees will help, most of the area we have access to here is forested.

[video]

[paladinlost]

My weapon and armor were indeed taken from me, along with the rest of my clothing. I cannot find any of my items either.

I've reached a small stone building. Rydia called it a watch station, and Ceodore said it is a New Feather Station.

[video]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm glad they're coming in handy. Both names are accurate. Is it fair to assume that one or both of them are coming for you now?

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[She knows this voice but it sounds much older than the last time she'd heard it.]

Cecil, is that you?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Another voice from that journal, and that one knows his name.]

My name is indeed Cecil, miss, but I fear your voice is not familiar to me. Have we met before?

[video]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie turns her journal away from herself before replying and placing her hand over the camera.]

I know Ceodore and we have met before. My name is Selphie.

[video]

[paladinlost]

You are a friend of Ceodore's? Did you meet in this world?

[Instant liking from this side.]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Selphie. Have you been here for a long time?

[video]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Well you see...

I'm his girlfriend.

[If only Selphie were a sheep.]
