Happy Starlight to you all!

This month, Naminé and I got a request from one of the Heran kids who wants to make dolls of all the Heroes of Light. It's a really cute idea! So we're going to submit some sketches based on the open files at the lab. We can't access the locked files, though, so if your file is locked and you don't mind having your sketch done, please come see us? It would help a lot!

Secondly, I've been working on my Blue Mage job, and since the Old Man (is it really right to capitalize his name? What IS his name?) at the Monster Arena wants Calamity versions of all the monsters, I figured I might as well go for it. The ones I'll be chasing will be the Sahagin first, and if that goes well enough, I'd like to go after a Dragon too. If you have any sort of healing abilities, that would help a lot, since the key to learning the spell is having it hit you, and then surviving. I can't say I'm looking forward to that part, but if it leads to a strong skill that can help out in the future, let's do it.

There are other monster skills I'm looking to add, so if you're going after any of the other Calamity monsters, I'd be glad to help out. The ones I'm aiming for are the Behemoth, Cactuar, Long Gui, Dragon Zombie, Iron Giant, and Yellow Elemental, but as long as we're not going after a Geezard, I'm on board for whatever you need!

Sincerely,
Rialynn Kollmann

[Not that she'd make it obvious it's a birthday-present... The package is wrapped in plain brown paper, and on opening Sephiroth will find a small card, and a white cotton blanket with flannel backing. It's a throw-blanket, so probably a little small on him but every bit helps right? The card is very simple.]

Happy Birthday Sephiroth! You probably don't want a big deal made, but I hope you'll appreciate a present. I hope it'll help keep you warm. The quote on it is from a famous author from my world. He was one of the first to write mystery stories, and he was famous for his poems about madness and despair. It maybe isn't the most comforting thought, but it also seemed appropriate.

If you don't like it, I can make you another.

Your friend,
Lydia

[The cotton is hand-painted and dyed a, so a bit blurry at times. The card itself was just plain white paper and black ink.]

[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.

Dear, All

What do you do to pass the time? Not all of it can be spent working toward the cause of snuffing the Calamity. (Can it?) Things are little more quiet now that some of the kids have succumbed to the Crystal Stasis phenomenon.

[Yet it's actually delivered 16th; via Esdham Mognet office]

Dear All,

Further to the meeting at the Observatory a few days ago, and the previous correspondence from Cid, I have an update with regards to the support that the Republic of Esdham is prepared to lend to our next battle in August.

Regrettably, it's not as positive as Cid's missive might have suggested. The Republic can only afford to grant us the aid of two airships and the accompanying crew. As I might have mentioned to a few of you at the meeting and before, manpower is already stretched thin between the various sets of circumstances which still need the assistance of the military in terms of a standing security force; not least to mention the refugees Esdham continues to see arriving at it's gates alongside the growing unrest within the citizenry itself no doubt caused by an expanding sea of crystal.

In short, I believe we need to inquire in another direction if the desired effect is to throw up anything resembling a strong, viable defense to a potential Weapon attack. Whatever such a defense might entail as this will be completely different in nature to the attack launched by the Heran Empire going-on a year ago. It goes without saying, that I need not remind everyone of the casualties that occurred when we were ripped out of the picture.

That said, there are still forces of my own command deployed within Aqures currently and they will continue to be so throughout the upcoming Festival of Light and for Palitutu's visit. Personally I've approximately one hundred ground-personnel which could be recalled to be at our disposal as well, but at the same time I hesitate to consign an entire army to almost certain death, duty or not.

Regards,
Sephiroth

[Betel-Po is a bit more subdued than he usually is--Lydia both appreciated his protectiveness, but wasn't pleased either, with HIS responding to Biggs. He'll find Jade and deliver this directly to him, or to his moogle.]

Dear Mr. Curtiss,

Captain Harkness said I should bring this to you. I believe we've met in passing, but my name is Lydia Deetz. I was among the Heroes who arrived while in the Empire as a captive. My crystal was 'white'. It has never been anything else. I evacuated during last year's attack on Aquares Ixen, but was pulled into the past along with everyone else to Aquares Tosf. Apart from that time, and then this past October, I have never been in Crystal Stasis, nor have I died while here on Crystallis.

I remember hearing that having a white crystal means my connection to the calamity was removed? Or something similar? BP says while traveling with messages, he also recalls hearing that those of us with white crystals can walk where the calamity is? (He might be mishearing, there was a lot of activity going on with the arrival of the group of Heroes Kalki had brought, like Wander, at the time.)

Sincerely,
Lydia Deetz

Everyone,

Palitulu wants our answer, in almost exactly a month's time. What do we plan to do about the Calamity? I know our final plan is acting on a lot of fronts, but one of those fronts could be very close to completed, if I can get a little more help from you.

The Interdimensional Rift Project at the lab. I need more help, more money, even though we received an incredibly generous donation already, it isn't quite enough. I'm working on building a Rift Manipulator, as close as I can get to a duplicate of the device that I helped create back home that did exactly what we need. It'll control the energies of the Interdimensional Rift, and if anything is going to get us inside there safely, this can do it.

But why do we need to bother with the Rift in the first place? The Calamity originated from there. Depending on which reports you read, either the First Crystal is in there, or it's in the center of Crystallis. Another team should begin exploring the Crystal Tree of Life to verify which place we need to go. If this Calamity is going to be permanently stopped? Then we need to repair the damage to that Crystal. Either way, the source of the Calamity itself is within the Rift. So we need to go there to stop it.

Like I said, the final plan is going to take a lot of fronts, but the Rift is not one that we can ignore. If literally anyone can help out at the lab? If anyone has spare money to push us over the finish line to donate? I need your help if we're going to fix the core problem behind the Calamity, instead of just hitting the reset button like Garland would, and shatter our worlds to give Crystallis one more cycle.

-Captain Jack Harkness

To Twilight Sparkle:

How viable is the Lunar Gate project? It appears that we are going to lose that location soon, and if so, then I need to return to that place to retrieve some property of mine.

[BP would deliver this, and it's not a 'heavy' package so much as its bulky. Inside, Ales will find sized for him, a strange hat in a black with silvery-sheen to it fabric, and a matching folded up cloak appropriate to his size. Also a magnifying glass and small notebook.]

Dear Ales,

I've heard the rumors about the murders, and that you're investigating. Where I come from, we have stories about the greatest detective of all, Sherlock Holmes. His popular image included these items, albeit in a brown tweed pattern. I figured you'd look better in black, and hopefully they can help you channel some of his investigative prowess.

Stay safe,
Lydia

Dear XXX,

I haven't been able to reach my brother Santa for the past two days. We usually talk all the time, so for him to be silent this long is more than just unusual, it's alarming. Have any of you seen him, or know where he was going? I'm getting really worried.

Aoi, if you get this, please let me know you're okay.

Sincerely,
Akane Kurashiki

To: All Heroes of Light,

Having just returned from an extensive rotation at Esdham I felt it important to inform you all of the latest developments in the Republic -while there are many details that I'm bound by my occupation not to disclose there is, after all, more general information that might prove suitable to our cause as Heroes of Light.

Since the loss of the Heran capital, Esdham has it's attention between monitoring the situation in Nabilia as the Calamity draws closer to the city and also providing some security to Continent of Ruin since the deactivation of the barrier. Given the substantial losses incurred as a result of the Ultima Weapon, it's no small exaggeration that manpower is stretched just about as thin as it can be; hence even my own extended duty away after the last fortnight. The situation is hindered further by an overarching concern for the future within the citizenry at Esdham itself. After all, the Calamity will be on our doorstep once it expands outside of Heran territory.

I'm pleased to report that the military can now provide a Airship service to-from the Mysidian Tower, subject to authorization by any military personnel. Varaha has since dispatched a contingent to further secure the location, but I suspect there is still a great deal that could be learned, not least from the simulation at its apex.

Lastly, I would appreciate anyone that might be inclined to bring me up to speed with goings-on in Aqures as of late. Spencer has informed me of a VHS-video that I should take the time to watch and would invite the company of those more informed of it to join me in watching, in case there are questions that might already have been answered since.

~Sephiroth

[Additional P.S. specifically for Jade, Zelda, Ales, Kidd, Vincent & Cloud only; also is enclosed a copy of Sephiroth's official report regarding the expedition to the Mysidian Tower, including a translation of the majority of the Ancient-written journal he found.]

P.S: I felt it prudent to inform, yet not draw too much attention to the fact that I'm now in possession of a Sapphire Crystal, of the kind that may be used to protect a specific area from the Calamity. I'd appreciate if it this knowledge could well be kept between ourselves until such a time that it becomes clear of where it should be applied.

[P.S. #2 for Terra only]

P.S #2: I'm truly sorry for the overdue, and mostly unexplained absence that my duties have caused in this instance. I hope that you're alright and will be home for when you get in tonight. I've no plans now for the next few days as well so if there is anything you'd like to do, you need just ask.

[ooc: Feel free to take any thread into Action from here, concerning accompanying Sephiroth in watching the video or even welcome him back in another location!]

To everyone-

Ok, so, here's the thing. I guess some of you Heroes aren't too hard on the eyes, and we could stand to make some money for the people that've been pushed around by the Calamity.

Luckily for you, I've got an idea. I'm starting up a charity calendar. A sexy charity calendar. If you're ugly or not a decent enough person to wanna help out some orphaned kids, you need not apply.

Everyone else, here's what we need:
-Investors. You'll get paid back, with interest, when we make back our production cost. The rest of the proceeds go to Santa Village.
-Photographers. Or artists. I don't know if cameras are a thing here, so we may need to draw this shit.
-Sexy Heroes. Like I said, old hags or creepy dudes can stay the fuck home.
-Moogles, to help with printing and distribution.

If you got anything to say to me, I guess write me back. Write me or come find me if you're gonna be a part of this.

-Santa

Okay--so did I really miss all the ghosts? And the ghostbusting and we finally have a Necromancer job? DID ANYONE TRY AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE GHOSTS?!?!!

Sorry, lemme try again. October has always been my favorite month, and Halloween my favorite holiday. AND I MISSED IT HERE, because I was stuck in that Crystal state. Can anyone fill me in on what happened? and really, seriously, did I truly miss all the ghosts?

Sincerely,

Lydia Deetz

P.S: Sorry to my sudden vanishing, Ms. Armstrong. Not my fault, as I don't know what triggered that Crystal state.

P.P.S: Hi new people! Welcome to Crystallis.

[For those that know of Sephiroth's penchant for sending Mognet mail directly via Spencer and not via the duplication systems in place at Mognet Central will be surprised to note that this letter will come through in the morning in the usual way. Either Sephiroth has conveniently forgotten why, or this really is a message intended for all that might read it.]

This may come as something of a late announcement, I hope that you can accept my apologies for the silence.

I recently returned from Crystal Stasis, and it seems that a vision of my future has indeed already come to pass.

But, everything will be alright. I know that now.

~Sephiroth

[ooc: Sephiroth came out of stasis on 16th June and has spent the last two days in the hospital, at his own request - to 're-adjust'. Partly at Spencer's suggestion, but mostly to give himself the time to remember...and to process. (Updated info post)

Will be followed by a open-log, tomorrow.]

[To: Jade]
Jade,

Just to inquire, when are you intending to return to Esdham? I think that it might be prudent to approach Jessie with regards to the scan of the clear crystals while we both have the time.

According to Biggs, we might well be too busy shortly to be able to come away so easily.

~Sephiroth

[To: Lydia]
Miss Deetz,

I hope that you'll forgive that the meeting didn't hold much opportunity for introductions and I appreciate it must be a great deal to have taken on board.

Are you still keen for the crystal scan that was discussed?

~Sephiroth

[To: Yuffie]
Yuffie,

I hope that you are well. Would appreciate if you could let me know when would be suitable for a rendezvous with Jessie?

~Sephiroth

Dear Elizabeth,

I have the items you requested as my quest for a silver 'dracula' job-crystal. I can send them with Betel-Po, or I can meet you somewhere and give them to you. I'd enjoy doing the latter, as we still haven't had a chance to meet yet.

Sincerely,

Lydia Deetz
