[As the team in Esdham handles the Mog Network device they found, the screen springs to life. That is, it’s covered in gray snow while Mordecai fiddles with the device found in the Ruins of Roalie.]

Hello, anyone hear me? [An older man’s voice is heard before the image clears up: the Barkeep’s familiar old face fills up the screen, though now he is framed by long black locks. He taps the screen with a finger.] See? Told ya I’m a natural.

[Being from the future and married to a tech person helps with strategically pushing buttons on strange machines.]

If y’all can hear this, I’mma let you know that I’m okay, we’re by the airship, don’t know where everyone is, and my hair grew out. [He brushes a black lock out behind his ear.] And now we got holophones or somethin’. Signal must be terrible out here in the middle of nowhere, can’t blame ‘em for not buildin’ no towers out here. Makes you wonder why they even left one of those OS crystals out here, unless--

[The flat-as-ever voice of Sparks Nevada can be heard piping up behind the Barkeep.]

Quit ramblin’, Barkeep. People ain’t here to listen to yer tech advice, and we don’t know how much juice this thing’s got. Just tell ‘em about the vision or whatever already.

Oh yeah, Sparks and Rialynn are here and totally fine. [No biggie.]

Right, now that vision of the future I got just as I woke. [Adding emphasis on the mystical concept of ~future~] We were fightin’ Kalki, only possessin’ Ramza like we last saw her, ‘cause the actual Kalki - her body, not her spirit - is deader than a doornail. Dunno where we were, but there’re crystals everyone, floatin’ platforms, too, and she sent that dragon summon Bahamut after us. We killed that thing pretty darn good, but then it got angry and grew a couple stories taller before gettin’ a second wind. That’s all I got before we had to head out. I got some food that’ll last a few days, but other than that, it’s empty as heck out here.

[Sparks’s face comes into view alongside Barkeep’s as he finished up, slowly pushing him out of view. The Barkeep’s cheek smushes against his mouth, preventing him from speaking.]

( if you listen closely, the sound of an unforgiving palm meeting a forehead echoes in the background… )

Dangit Barkeep I said keep it brief. Reckon some of you mighta heard that voice when we got knocked outta battle, right? That was the Queen, right? Told us to rest up cuz we’d need our energy to fight Kalki. Or Ramza, I guess. Said it was all she could do to help us stop the Cycle. I’m thinkin’ she mighta put us out for a little too long… Anyway, uh. Someone else is out there, right? We’re not just talking to ourselves, are we?

( there’s an exasperated sigh, as an orange hand made of hair makes an attempt to grab hold of the device for herself, while her arms stay crossed. A less-than-familiar looking Midna comes into view finally, wondering what it was she did exactly to deserve this fate. Both the company she had been forced into, as well as that whole end of the world thing. )

What these gentlemen are trying to say, I’m sure, is that if there’s anyone out there that can hear this transmission… ( or perhaps someone in particular— ) It would be in all of our best interests to re-group or at least share anything we’ve learned with one another.

( and then, a slightly muttered… ) If you haven’t all gone and gotten yourselves killed yet, at least.

((OOC: please list if you are directly speaking to Sparks, Barkeep, Midna, or Vincent to address the group in general))

It feels like there’s Christmas in every world.

Where I’m from, Christmas is the day where you make a wish on the highest star in the sky. If you do that, it’ll come true. That’s part of the legend, anyways. The rest is stupid.

And in the other world I’ve been to, there was something about Father Christmas and some creep named Jesus that everyone worshiped for no reason. That holiday resembled the one here, but things didn’t go well.

So, why is Christmas everywhere, anyways? Doesn't anyone think that's weird?

Hey.

I want to see the Calamity for myself. What's the best way to get out there and see it? I'll even put up with a guide if that's what it takes.

[The letter would go to all Heroes of Light, and even some of the non-Heroes like Biggs, and Cid, and Wedge. Once opened it's clearly a light-hearted letter, despite all the skulls and spiraling borders with spider-webs and bats on the page.]

Hello everyone!

My name is Lydia Deetz; I'm originally from Earth, in America, 1990ish if anyone recognizes the place and time. I missed out last year, due to being stuck in Crystal Stasis, and only arrived the February prior to that. I know things have been rough for the Heroes, because of whom we are, the past two Octobers.

But it's my favorite month--because back home, it's the month when Halloween comes! A time to enjoy the spooky and macabre and find the joy in the unusual. We've all had more than enough hardship lately, and I am excited to celebrate my favorite holiday for once! Some of the customs here on Crystallis are similar, but not all of them.

So... Please feel free to write me back, or meet me, if you're curious about Halloween where I'm from. Tell me stories about a similar holiday from where you're from! Also if you meet any ghosts, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me. Or better-yet, come and get me. Back home my best friend is a ghost, so I have some familiarity!

Thank you, and Happy Hauntings!
Spookily yours,
Lydia Deetz.

[While everyone is enjoying their day, they might look away from what they're doing and look back to discover something new. Maybe someone is looking for an ingredient in their cupboard and they turn around to find a scroll on their cutting board. Or maybe there's a knock at the door and then a scroll when they get back to what they're doing. It doesn't matter how, Koporo is on a mission, and he's leaving letters in scroll form for Heroes of Light to find with the a message inside...

...and it's written in crayon.]
