*PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL*
I sincerely hope that this letter finds you all securely. I took the liberty of strictly instructing my moogle to process each copy of this correspondence separately to achieve the highest level of data protection; I cannot afford for this, nor any replies to be seen by unintended eyes.
Now onto the subject of this irregular mail.
I've been given a task by Jessie, to conduct an observation into those of our number who remain in Crystal Stasis within the Aqures Ixen General Hospital. With the intention to locate and verify any tangible similarities that may link all of them together, with the hope no doubt, for her to conduct even further research into the nature of this affliction which, I am sure, is a pressing concern for everyone.
In order to do so, I need to gather whatever information possible about those Heroes that have fallen into Crystal Stasis and I would very much implore each of you to respond to me with whatever details you may know of any one of them - no matter how trivial it might seem.
As I understand it, privately addressed mail does not carry the same security risk as mail which is intended for a wider audience, but if you are concerned, and your own moogle companion is willing - you may instruct them to bypass the Mognet office with any replies and come directly to my abode at B-04, Aqures Ixen.
Yours sincerely,
Sephiroth
[ooc: This note has been distributed differently to how most mail over the Mognet gets sent. It's hand delivered by one of six, smaller girl-moogles with glasses - or by Spencer personally. Details here - Spencer has persuaded his sisters and a few younger cousins to assist him with the direct distribution of 50+ letters individually processed to each Hero of Light per Zelda's list of Heroes. As such there may be a delay in your character receiving their copy of this letter. Spencer then dutifully returns the original to Sephiroth. Call it micro-managing but he can't afford for this to fall into the wrong hands.
The moogles involved would most likely appreciate a Kupo nut for their hard work!]

Tear Grants and Guy Cecil were both from my world. They came to Crystallis in December and entered Crystal Stasis shortly after the battle in Esdham -- roughly at the same time, as far as I am aware. Why they came and went together while the rest of us from Auldrant did not, I cannot say.
Is there anything specific you're looking for?

Most interesting, thank you for your input. Also, now since I have the opportunity, please allow me to extend my gratitude towards your support in the aftermath of the sorry state I found myself in earlier this month. I am somewhat in your debt for that.
I wonder, do you know if there there any common denominators that connect Tear and Guy?
~Sephiroth
no subject
Please, don't mention it. As things stand, we are on the same boat for the time being. It is only natural that I should assist an ally, is it not?
As for Tear and Guy, their families shared a close relationship for nearly 2,000 years. However, since their home island was destroyed shortly before Tear was born, they didn't meet until close to a year ago, when our group first came together.
-Jade
no subject
Quite.
That's quite some history. How was their home destroyed? Also, if you don't mind my further interest, what purpose brought your group together? Would it be wrong to suspect some similarity between that and our apparent role here?
~Sephiroth
no subject
The island was being used as a site for secret military experiments when a war broke out. The Emperor of my country at the time gave the order to halt the experiments, use the technology to cause the destruction of the entire land and take the opposing army with it. Needless to say, it was bad business all around.
As for our group, we each had our own reasons to prevent the start of another war, one thing led to another, and eventually we found ourselves racing to stop all of Auldrant from being destroyed. It is a rather long story, but you are correct -- I suppose it would not be unreasonable to call us 'heroes', as much as I don't care for such dramatic titles.
-Jade
no subject
Bad business, unpopular for sure, but sometimes dirty work does prove adequately efficient.
[He knows exactly how that works, given ShinRa.]It seems most of us brought here seem to have some sort of fit as a 'Hero' in one way or another. I suppose the question to ask is more 'why' in this regard; logically there has to be some mechanism for the Crystal here to select certain individuals from the vast populations of countless other realms.
Mind-blowing, don't you think?
~Sephiroth
no subject
Efficient, certainly, though more often than not with unforeseen consequences. But I digress.
Indeed, there seems to be a method to the selection of Heroes. All the same, a mechanism would imply reliance on predictable variables, whereas traits of heroism are situational and unquantifiable. If the Crystal is able to evaluate human traits and make decisions based on them, I would go as far as saying it must have an intelligence of its own. Perhaps not quite like human intelligence, but intelligence nonetheless.

Jade,
Personally I'm more concerned currently with the train of thought that theorizes the Crystal as a tool for drawing us in, as opposed to a sentient being or some extension of a higher consciousness. The more that I look into this task for Jessie, the more I do wonder if there is indeed a common thread that binds us all together in whatever the purpose is we've been brought here for.
~Sephiroth
no subject
If the Crystal is indeed a tool, that begs the question of who is using it. We know our worlds can be seen from our observatory under certain conditions, so the possibility that someone else has the means to spy on us and find Hero candidates isn't out of question.
-Jade
no subject
It seems that is a fact of which I was unaware. Under what conditions, exactly?
-Sephiroth
no subject
During the dual full moon in January, the observatory began to function and allowed everyone using it to see their home planets. Why it only worked that night I cannot say, but it proves the technology to see other worlds exists on Crystallis.
-Jade
no subject
Seems like it calls for a more in-depth look into the Astrology here, my thanks for the further information.
I don't suppose you'd know if any records of a previous dual-moon might have been discovered during the process of turning that building into a guild hall?
~Sephiroth
no subject
Not to my knowledge. You could try asking Zelda or Lady Ashelia, as I believe the two of them have taken charge of cleaning the observatory.
