[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))

The first letter would go to all of those listed above except Jade and Sephiroth.

[This letter'd come early March 2nd, and by the hand-writing it's Ophelia herself not Vincent writing it.]

Hi everyone kupo,

I have no idea when he'd get to it kupo, so I'm doing so for him. Ms. Lucrecia vanished yesterday, and Vincent confirmed she is in Crystal Stasis in the hospital kupo. I can't actually tell how he's doing with this--and that worries me kupo. Things had been going so much better! Orpheus and I were so pleased and happy for them, as they've both had more than enough hard times kupo.

He's even more silent than usual kupo, but he doesn't seem to be 'brooding'? Not like I've seen him before, anyways. I'm concerned, but only because I know how he can be kupo.

~Ophelia

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[The second letter would come also from Ophelia, instead of Vin's handwriting.]

Dear Jade and Sephiroth,

Neither of you seemed that close with her, but I thought you'd like to know anyways kupo. Dr. Lucrecia Crescent has entered Crystal Stasis kupo, as of yesterday. Vincent has confirmed she is in the crystallized Heroes wing.

~Ophelia

Hiya,

I know stuff has sucked lately but the Calamity is still moving and there might be clues being stolen each day. There are so many fronts to fight on.

If anyone wants to explore these places let me know. We need a group of people we trust.

We'll watch each others back.

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!]

[Ever since the awkward conversation when he'd gone to investigate the noise, and found Yuffie starting a construction project, Vincent has...outwardly remained the same. Mostly trying to read his housemate's moods, lest he upset her more. Especially since he's confused in some ways over why she IS upset, and what she is upset about.

She would probably rather they 'talk' in person about things--but he'd tried that, and it had only upset her. Which meant a letter it was, and if she got upset at him over that? Oh well. Honestly--it was with almost sardonic amusement at himself--that Yuffie doubted that he considered her a friend, cared about her, and yet she claimed she 'knew'.

In any case, this'd be left where she'd find it.]


Yuffie,

You've scolded me before for not speaking to you and leaving letters. But talking with you, when I am not usually one for conversation, did not seem to be the answer either considering the last in-depth discussion. So a letter it is for now.


Starting with blunt truth, and while I know you 'know' what I'm about to write, I feel a need to remind you. EVERYTHING changes; existence itself is change. But change does not have to be 'bad'.

I am not used to having 'friends'. I have allies, and coworkers; in my past I often kept to myself, as I do now. I listen, and I observe, but I do not feel a need to reach out or engage others often. You are my friend, however. To whit, this means that I care about your feelings and moods, I worry about how you are doing and what you are up to, and would like you to generally be healthy and well. To a degree beyond the basic level of empathy and care most humans show one another.

I do not have friends easily, nor casually. Even as I have...found myself finding that distinction and state between coworker/ally and 'friend' blurring at times with others here, it is still not a bond I view lightly. So do NOT doubt that you ARE my friend.

As for your specific concern about my leaving, and matters concerning Dr. Crescent. I have no intention of NOT remaining in house A02 at this time or the foreseeable future. If you were not acceptable as a housemate, even without our friendship, then I would've left to find other lodgings well before now. Simply because someone whom I did at one point love shows up, does not mean I will automatically leave and rush to their side. (I doubt Dr. Crescent would want that either--we both have our scars. The colloquial is 'once bitten, twice shy' I believe?)

That I loved her deeply once, does not however mean that I do still. I care that she is well, and healthy, and happy--but that is because she is in that grey area of ally/coworker/friend. Much as Cloud is, or Tifa, or anyone from Avalanche, among a few others. To be honest, I do not see myself entering into ANY kind of romantic entanglement with anyone casually or easily.

I hope this addresses the concerns I am aware of.

~Vincent

[There is a small P.S: from Ophelia, on a separate sheet of paper.]

Yuffie--I don't know what's going on, with you or Vincent, but I worry about you both kupo. He's not one for long conversations usually, and while he can be a bit more wordy in writing kupo, Vincent took several days writing and re-writing this letter. I don't know what's in it, I just observed him kupo. ~~Ophelia

To whom it may concern,

I understand that it has only been a few short days since we saw that video, but I feel that I should reveal a few findings after doing some cross-referencing with my notes. This is more concerning the Interdimensional Rift mentioned in the video.

The first thing I've noticed is that we may have a Job that is tied in to this place - the Time Mage. I do not know the full extent of this, but I feel that this is something to look into deeply. This may be a dangerous weapon and we haven't realized it yet.

The other is.a project that is in Palitutu's Laboratory for some sort of portal into the Rift. I might be thinking things wrong, but I think we used this during that vision the Sage put us through. If what he said - knowledge without wisdom - is true, then we must have used this for something other that entering the Rift to see what's inside. I also feel that this is where the Shadows are lying in.

Of course, I'm not 100% certain on all of this, but it can't be a coincidence. If you have anything to add, please let me know

- Faithfully yours,
Twilight Sparkle
Princess of Friendship

[This letter comes elegantly written in beautiful cursive, obviously the sort of thing scribed by someone who writes a great deal.]

I have a philosophical question for many of you, if you would not mind indulging me with a little personal information. I understand many of you could be considered selfless, perhaps even altruistic. Have you ever sacrificed yourself for the sake of someone or something else, or made the attempt? What drove you to do this? Is it an instinct for you, or was it something you chose after thinking it over?

Of course, if you wouldn't consider yourself to be the selfless type, I'd like to know if there was ever something that caused you to reconsider your priorities.

If you wish to know why I ask, I don't mind telling you. But I would prefer to hear your answer first.

Signed,
~L

To all the Heroes of Light,

I know there’s probably a lot on all of our minds considering what we recently experienced. I’m still considering the part in it all that I played and...I’m not sure if I should apologize for what I guess I thought was the right thing to do, even if I’m not happy about what it helped to lead to. But that’s not why I’m writing this letter.

My dream has always been to be a Hero. I wanted to be noticed. I wanted people to respect me for what I could do. When I was a kid I thought I was better than all the other kids in town and that’s why they hated me. I thought I’d move to the big city and be a great Hero like someone I still look up to. I was wrong about that.

Between what I thought was right back on Gaia, and what I thought was right in that...vision, I want to know what you all think a Hero is? What makes someone a Hero? And how do I become one without losing myself trying to get there?

Cloud Strife

[A second letter is sent to Terra, everyone from Gaia, Albel and Graham]

We don’t have to talk about what happened in that other future if you don’t want to, but I’d like to see all of you if you’re free. It doesn’t have to be all at once, but I think I have something to say to each of you, whether an apology or to ask about your own choices. I don’t blame any of you for anything you did Or we don’t have to talk about it at all, but I’d still like to see you..

[A postscript is added to the letter to Chiaki]

PS: I still have a bit of a belly from the cookies I ate while using the Santa job and some days it’s a bit too cold to go jogging. Can I use that dancing game you got from Mysidia?

Hello,

I only read some over Yuffie's shoulder but the moment she received Cid's letter she bolted off. I don't know towards where but if you have any idea please let me know...

Or stop her.

Thank you,

-Mooshoo

[OOC: Yuffie's going to try and read all your stuff. If you don't want her too she won't get there in time but if you want to catch her feel free to respond and let me know how much she can read, be it the first sentence or the whole thing.]

[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.]
