[Zell is slowly backing away from the Empty Child, reluctant to hit a child---even it if only looks like a child.]

Look, kid, I dunno what you want, but I doubt I can help you. Find somebody else. And please don't touch... [Too late! The empty child darts forward and grabs his hand. Zell's face pales, he staggers, and falls back against a wall, ( Read more... )

[Shakily] No. I'm really, really not. GF's are gone, magic's gone---Irvine, I can't remember how to do anything.

You can't remember? Just like that?

Yeah. Just like that. There was this creepy kid, and after it touched me... all gone.

A kid?

Back up for a second. What happened?

I was searching for my memory-wiped roommate, and got cornered by this really creepy kid. He/she/it... there was just something WRONG with it. They grabbed my hand, then ran off.

After that, I noticed that Ifrit, Cactuar, and Brothers weren't junctioned anymore. And now everything's gone. I don't even remember how to throw somebody.

Damn.

That's one hell of a kid. Guess you should stay close to someone until we can find it.

Yeah, I'm staying close to Selphie right now. Hyne knows when we'll find it, though, or if finding it will do any good.

But Template's pretty safe, considering. I'll avoid the dark alleyways and stuff for now, but I can't attach myself to somebody forever.

[sighs] I really don't feel like starting from the ground up again in martial arts. If this keeps up, I'll try to learn something new.

I'd suggest firearms, but I get the feeling you'd be a crappy shot.

I wasn't bad before. Not up to your standards, obviously. But I didn't suck.

Something to think about.

Better than nothing.

Definitely better then nothing. I'm not sure if what skill I had with that was taken as well---probably should talk to Sam and find out.

Now, you wanna see me honestly suck with something, try me out with a sword.
