Warnings: None (except weirdness)
Dream Effect: A general feeling of restlessness, an constant low buzz of noise in the back of the mind, and the mixed-up feeling of adrenaline rush/contentment/amusement/somebody dropping a bucket of ice water on your head. Welcome to Kefka's mind!

( A most disquieting tea party )

Accidental. SO VERY ACCIDENTAL [Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 5 2010, 13:22:39 UTC

[ So there Terra was, idly skimming the dreamberry ..thingie for any sign of her friends and she came across that Kefka person. She'd convinced herself it wasn't the same one too, but alas no. She freezes in position on seeing the video, the feelings conveyed through the dream registering oh so easily with her, even though she couldn't put words to them. And at the end - that... laugh. She lets out a gasp, the dreamberry dropping from her hand with an audible clatter. And Terra just freezes, a feeling over fear overtaking her. M...maybe he didn't hear ... if she stays really still... ]
[OOC Also fpff hi, if you want it can have clicked to video when it fell - in which case icon relevant for the view, only without the sword :D ]

Re: Accidental. SO VERY ACCIDENTAL [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 5 2010, 21:17:51 UTC

[Kefka picks up the Dreamberry, holding it somewhat awkwardly. He still doesn't trust the thing much. It knows too much. But the sudden sound has piqued his interest and the view only strengthens that.]

Now, you're not part of the dream this time, are you?

Re: Accidental. SO VERY ACCIDENTAL [Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 5 2010, 22:07:41 UTC

[ Crap. Terra hesitates, but doesn't move towards the dreamberry so continue having a view of her legs. Er... yeah. ]

...No. I'm - I'm not part of any dream...

Re: Accidental. SO VERY ACCIDENTAL [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 6 2010, 17:48:25 UTC

[Even if he wishes she'd come closer, it's not as though Kefka needs to see her to remember what she looks like quite vividly. One of many things he doesn't think he'll ever forget.]

Good to know. It's hard to tell in this place, what's real and what isn't. Smoke and mirrors inside your head. If it wasn't so annoying, I'd have enjoyed it.

[Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 6 2010, 18:22:05 UTC

[ It seems pointless to stay away from the berry - it's not like he can hurt her through it. But what he says confuses her. Why was it good...? ]

Because of the way these things broadcast our..the dreams...? [ Oh god Terra stop talking to him. Just turn off the phone and ...and..what? :I ]
You're ... You're Kefka, aren't you?

[ An odd question perhaps, but she didn't really remember him - the last time she saw him was when they were fleeing Figaro, and that HORRIBLE man burned the place - or tried to - to get to her. Mega-frown! :( ]

Re: [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 6 2010, 23:49:58 UTC

[Terra might not be able to see him from her position, but that doesn't mean Kefka isn't going to smile so wide it almost hurts.]

That, yes, and also because it means I haven't spontaneously started hallucinating. That's never a good sign.

[He chuckles a little to himself.]

Huh. I know the good doctor mentioned amnesia as a possible side effect, but I hadn't thought anyone would ever forget me. I know many have tried.

Yes, I'm Kefka. And it's all right if you can't remember me. I remember you.

[Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 7 2010, 00:00:28 UTC

[ That's certainly caught her attention. And she moves just a bit closer, cautiously picking up the berry, albeit at an awkward level, holding it away. She shouldn't be taaaaaaaalking to him - she's sure Edgar and Locke would tell her this. But he knew her. ]

You remember me...? What do you remember? I ... [ Hesitation, and then a cautiously accusing tone. ] You tried to burn Figaro and all of its people to the ground.

Re: [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 7 2010, 00:32:57 UTC

[He chuckles again and plays idly with the dreamberry, careful not to touch any of the buttons.]

Of course I remember you. It would take someone a lot crazier than me to forget someone like you. You are rather special, after all. Or have you forgotten?

[He frowns a little, going silent for a moment, before grinning again and giggling a little.]

I'll admit that wasn't a very good idea.

After all, Figaro Castle is made out of stone. Not exactly flammable.

[Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 7 2010, 01:07:41 UTC

[ The fact that someone remembers her - even if it is him - ESPECIALLY if it is him - causes her to lower her hand a little so she can look directly into the dreamberry. Inwardly grimacing, but a small frown has etched itself across her face. ]

... Special? You mean because of my...my abilities. [ .. he had mentioned something about a doctor back there hadn't he. But before she can question that, she hears what he says about Figaro Castle, and shakes her head. ]

How could you...! Those people did nothing.. [ Nothing but harbor her from the Empire, protect her... ]

Re: [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 7 2010, 01:18:16 UTC

[Knowing it won't sit right with her at all, Kefka tilts his head, smiles and waves a little, then chuckles again.]

Indeed. Though abilities is such a clinical word. Too much time in the laboratories, I guess. I prefer to think of them as gifts. A much nicer word, don't you think.

[He frowns a little.]

Collateral damage. It happens. There's no room for innocents in a world like ours.

[Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 7 2010, 01:28:16 UTC

[ GAH don't do that. Terra shifts uncomfortably at the 'friendly greeting, and obviously does not return it. ]

The laboratories..? What laboratories? [ Another uncomfortable shift. ] It's more of a curse if people would use you against your will because of that....

..! Collateral Damage? Th..they're people not objects. And... and there should be more innocent people in our world. The only good thing about you being here is that you aren't there to hurt anyone else. [ ... of course this is a double edged sword here. He may not be back home to harass people, but Terra was here too, and her friends were woefully missing and ... and the man scared her to death ]

Re: [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 7 2010, 02:08:14 UTC

[Shifting a bit, Kefka props the dreamberry up on a table so he doesn't have to hold it. He keeps smiling, enjoying this turn of events tremendously.]

That'd be the Magitek Research Facility back in Vector. Which, I admit, you're lucky not to remember. It's not a nice place. [He makes a small, amused sound.] Curse, though? Only if you let it be. The thing about tools? Those who seek to use them are often the first to get hurt by them, too.

You know what they say. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Or an empire without breaking some humans. Or a few generals, but that's besides the point.

[He laughs.]

Oh, Terra. You underestimate me. I can hurt people at home without being there at all.

[Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 7 2010, 02:23:05 UTC

[ S-stop smiling. And Terra, stop baiting the man. It's well and good to talk to him over the berry but she knew full well she wouldn't be so bold in person. The berry provided at least a bit of safety - he doesn't know where she is. She thinks. ]
The Magitek Research Facility...

I was... in the lab? [ Her skin felt like it was crawling, a prickle of unease at the back of her head. Quickly she shook her head, shying away from the though, focusing instead on the latter. The Empire sought to use her like a tool didn't it? But she didn't want to hurt anyone. Not even them. ]

How can you be so cruel. Why? Was it all because of... [ Because of her? She remembered what was said when she first regained her consciousness after that fateful visit to Narshe, and then again in Figaro Castle. And then that laugh - oh god that horrid laugh. It sends chills down her spine. ]

What... what do you mean? That's... that's not even physically possible.

Re: [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 7 2010, 02:38:01 UTC

[Like that is going to make him smile any less. Kefka's grin now is so wide it looks like his skin might tear if he smiles only a twinge more.]

Oh, we were all in the lab at some point or another, being poked and prodded like good little rats. Except Leo, of course, but that was his loss.

[Another chuckle, this one sounding decidedly smug.]

Oh, being that cruel is easy. I'm a delusional, narcissistic megalomaniac, after all. [He shrugs dismissively.]

"Physically possible" sort of loses its meaning when said by someone who can conjure fire out of thin air, you know.

[Voice/video] phantasmal_girl February 7 2010, 03:07:29 UTC

[ She seriously considers putting the dreamberry down and turning it away to face the wall. Creepy, Creepy smile. In fact, that's exactly what she does - physically shuddering, and setting the berry on the dresser to face the nice oak paneled wall. Ah, how soothing. ]
Who is Leo...?

[ Of course Kefka can't see it now, but she's hugging herself, closing her eyes and trying not to imagine being in that lab. Wait, His LOSS? Surely this maniac couldn't mean that being in the lab was a good thing. ]
Using magic and being able to harm someone on another world is completely different. How could you possibly accomplish something like that...?

[ No, he may be a delusional narcissistic megalomaniac, but surely he couldn't do something like that. ]

Re: [Voice/video] magitekmayhem February 8 2010, 14:20:49 UTC

[What a nice wall. Kefka might miss watching her react, even when it was just her legs, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get a lot of satisfaction from having made her resort to that. He chuckles instead.]

Forgotten him, have we? Lucky you. I never did care much for his chivalry.

[His mind calls up memories of the destructions wrought by the Espers, and by moving the statues out of alignment, and the smile on his face turns a lot nastier, if possible.]

You're thinking too directly again. Say you use a fire spell to burn a house to the ground. The fire spell only lasts long enough to ignite, but the effects linger a lot longer. It's a bit like that.
