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.

[Selphie already knew that Cecil was back in Luceti and looking and sounding older to boot as she follows Ceodore into the kitchen. She smiles cheerfully at Cecil and everyone in the room.]

Hey there!

Only sometimes. The first week or so of a new cycle is busy, but it calms down after that. The rest of the time is just spent making sure we have enough supplies ready, for the center and those watch stations. The watch stations are especially helpful in the winter, since those Malnosso don't bother to dress anyone warmly and so we need to reach them as soon as possible.

[Finding the page, Rydia perks up and turns the journal so that Cecil can see the guide (http://wise-maiden.livejournal.com/24338.html).]

You don't need to read it all now, I'm just showing you how to find it.

[Rydia glances up and grins as the pair enter.]

Welcome back! And hello, Selphie.

Arriving now was cold enough. I'd rather not imagine what can happen to those who arrive in December or January. Ah, thank you.

[He quickly glances at it, taking note of the sections he'd like to read first.]

It seems to be very thorough. Who compiled all that information?

[But his attention is caught by the duo who now enters the kitchen. He smiles brightly. Because of the earplugs.]

Welcome back. Hello, Selphie! Did Ceodore have any trouble finding you?

[Trust him, you'll appreciate them, Dad.]

No trouble at all.

[Although there might have been a temporary delay for some making out before they came back. Either way, the boy's dotty about her and doesn't do such a great job of hiding it.]

Nope, I'm not too hard to find these days. Welcome home, Cecil.

[She moves closer to Cecil to get a better look at him. Yep, he's definitely older and a lot of things are different about him.

She'll bore a hole in the ground if you don't stop her by the way.]

[Rydia rolls her eyes upon seeing the earplugs, but refrains from comment for now.]

To answer your question...one of the teachers of the local school wrote that some time ago and makes a point to update it when she can. I'm sure you'll meet her around town.

Well, I've not seen the whole of the village. For all I know you could have been hours away. What is the size of this enclosure?

[He lets Selphie get her look. He's used to people staring, with the whole 'king and hero' thing he has.]

She must be a very learned person. I'll enjoy talking to her, if I have the occasion to do so.

[Ceodore's used to the staring too. That whole 'king and hero' thing makes life uncomfortable for him in so many ways.]

It's pretty big. There's mountains and... well there was a desert. Now it's an ocean.

[Keeping up with the explanation of the enclosure of Luceti, Selphie will stop her Cecil inspection and grin.]

There's a couple of lakes and we're surrounded by forest and there's mountains but those're a good walk from the village. We could show you around the village if you'd like.
