[Usually Hope has the decency and the actual wits about him to filter his post on the crystal, but this time it's not happening. His voice comes on and it's clearly strained, as if he's hurting beyond words.]

I haven't seen Light since before the battle.

[There's a pause, like he's choosing what to say next, his breathing uneasy and staggered. ( Read more... )

[This writing may be familiar to some people:]

Once more, Cosmos, Chaos? Very well, I shall participate again, but not for your sakes.

Are all the young ones still well? [She's speaking to all of you there, regardless of alignment, or if she knows you or not.]

[This is Jihl. Jihl isn't pleased. When Jihl isn't pleased and things don't go according to plan... well, let's not go there.]

I already have my own war to wage. I do not need to be dragged into something such as this.

[Anyone who knows Hope knows the kid isn't one to be angered easily. He'll argue and stand firm, he'll yell if he's frustrated, but it takes a lot for him to get this pissed off. Which means this is pretty damn serious to him.]I don't know how many of you have talked to him yet, but- the new guy, who said he knew people were ( Read more... )

Do not mistake me for a fool. I can feel your presence nearby--

Her voice is quiet at first, as if she's ( Read more... )

[Fang is standing in Ultimecia's Castle, spear in hand, poised on the edge of the upper balcony and watching the gears turn down below. This place is surreal... She doesn't know what to make of it, really, and that makes her nervous. Not that she'd show that, though.]

[The crystal comes on, hovering next to and focusing on a man standing and looking around with his hands on his hips. The look on his face clearly reads "This is bull."]

Never occurred to anyone that I might have things goin' on back home that I need to take care of first, huh? Never mind the fact that I left those kids all on their own.

[At that ( Read more... )

Hah?

[ This video is not for those who have motion sickness- the person holding it doesn't seem to understand exactly how it works, because they keep spinning the crystal in their hand, turning it upside down, holding it over their head- pretty much everything they can possibly do with it. ]

I don't know how to work this thing..! It's pretty, ( Read more... )

Hello? Can anyone hear me…? I saw people speaking on here before, but I wasn’t sure exactly how-

[A pause, and the young woman speaking into the crystal hesitates, as if still not entirely sure that she’s doing the right thing. She steels herself, however, and looks back into it, face set in a mixture of hope and firm resolve.]My name is Serah ( Read more... )
