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?

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?

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

CECIL?!?

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

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

Father?!

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

You remember me?!

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

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

[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?

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.

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]

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

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

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

[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.

If their ranges are relatively similar, I assume the two of us are on the same planet, then.

Wings? [He reaches for his back.] Wings?

But Ceodore was leading the second group...

[He trails off, completely confused. But he does start walking around.]

Your words make little sense, to be honest. And I hear nothing that sounds even remotely like water. ...But I can see some sort of stone structure further away. Should I wait there?

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?

[Rydia's about to say that his words make little sense to her, either, but she perks up at his last remark.]

Yes! That's a watch station. Head in there, since it will at least get you out of the cold. I'll be there in a few moments, okay?

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.

...I'll wait for you there. Should it try to barricade it until you arrive? I've not yet seen any monsters.

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

Oh, I'm at the house.

I cannot hear any. Should I look for it?

...You might have to be more specific. [Considering you were supposed to be on the moon and all that.]

[he blinks, then nods] You're in a place called Luceti, both of us are.

[oops. guess he didn't know yet]...Wings. Everyone has them.

That's because there aren't any. Don't worry, you'll be safe there. See you soon, Cecil!

[And in a few minutes, a pile of Cecil's (non-armor) attire with Rydia's legs appears abruptly in the watch station.]

There is no place named Luceti on my planet, or on either of the moons. Could this be one of the other planets he was talking about?

...And you are completely certain we are not in fact dead.
