Did someone order a bard? (voice)

[melodiesoflute]

[A loud shriek could be heard as someone falls right out from the sky and into the waters below. After a loud splash and some coughing, the newcomer finally speaks. Now for those who do not know who he is, this poor bard is delicate soul who isn’t very fond of combat. For those who do know of him; he’s name is Edward Chris von Muir, and he’s the

the spoony one emerges! <3 this is dated after the kidnapping plot, right?

[hallowedlight]

Are you all right?!

[Cecil sounds alarmed, but there's no trace of recognition at his friend in his voice.]

<3! At last he does!~ And yes, it is!

[melodiesoflute]

[Eek! Who said that? Was that...a voice?]

I-I am well!

[Edward falls quiet as he looks around for the speaker, only to find no one there.]

Where are you? Or rather...who are you?

[That voice, it does sound a tad familiar.]

(ooc: lj keeps screwin with me...)

[hallowedlight]

My name is Cecil. We're speaking through crystals that serve as communication devices, but if you need help, I can come find you.

[ooc: no worries. \o/]

[melodiesoflute]

Cecil!?

[How did he get here? No wait, how did they get here? Just a moment ago, Cecil was at the wedding...]

It is I, Edward! Don't you remember me? Cecil, where are you? Why are you here? Where are the others!?

[Great, now he's panicking.]

H-How did we get here?

Well, if this is after the rescue...

[mountain_sage]

Hello? Are you injured?

Hi thar! XD

[melodiesoflute]

Injured? Oh, no! Just a few scrapes and bruises, but I am well. Thankfully those brutes didn't follow me here.

Gained your muse back already? Cool! XD

[mountain_sage]

Those brutes?

I've not seen you before. Are you a new arrival?

I'm grand master of speed reviewing! XD I had to do a canon review

[melodiesoflute]

Yes, those blood thirsty men who chased me here!

[He's speaking of the 'Mannequins'. The poor bard was chased here by those terrible creatures.]

I don't know why they attacked me, but they did. Fortunately for me, I'm quite nimble.

Ah, yes! I'm a newcomer, my name is Edward Chris von Muir. Who might you be?

[holyrosary]

Edward? Is it you?

[melodiesoflute]

Rosa?

[So Rosa is here! Oh, good! Not that Cecil would lie or anything, but the bard was actually worried about her well-being.]

It is I, Edward! Rosa, tell me are you well? This is supposed to be a war of some kind, yes?

[holyrosary]

Yes, I'm sorry. It is.

I am well but what of yourself? Are you in need of anything?

[As well as anyone can be after a week of captivity.]

[melodiesoflute]

I am well, Rosa. There is no need for you to be concerned, but...

[Edward trails off for a moment or two.]

I've spoken with Cecil, and it seems...he is unwell.

[Voice]

[heavenslament]

[Terra's voice is weak, exhausted. But her weakened state doesn't prevent her from being concerned.]

Are you hurt?

[Voice]

[melodiesoflute]

[He tries to place the nameless voice with a face, but she doesn't sound like anyone he knows. Perhaps she's another unfortunate warrior dragged into this war.]

Not really, just frazzled I guess. Are you...are you one of the Warriors of Cosmos?

[Voice]

[heavenslament]

Yes, I am. My name is Terra. You must have heard Cosmos' voice too, then?

[Voice]

[melodiesoflute]

I am Edward, Terra. And yes, I have. It seems the Goddess of Harmony has chosen me to assist her, but I am not a warrior...
