[Video/Action for Rabanastre-bound]

Jan 22, 2011 09:14

[This happened before so it's not a surprise to Penelo, but unfortunately it's still heartbreaking to see her home completely devoid of people. She's standing inside Migelo's Sundries, checking the stock like she did when she was still a young orphan under his wardship. Everything's in order. Only there are no people. No customers lifting goods, ( Read more... )

[ In the background, there's a very quiet Oerba, but it's an Oerba without the crystal ash and without the Cie'th. Vanille's not in sight, but it's her voice coming through. ]

Yours is empty, too?

[video] danceawaypain January 22 2011, 20:05:55 UTC

Mmhmm. This happened before but I... not at my home.

[It's really got her worried too.]

[video] tosavecocoon January 22 2011, 20:12:24 UTC

It's happened before? [ That catches her attention. And she looks worried, too. ] Why is this happening?

[video] danceawaypain January 22 2011, 20:31:51 UTC

I don't think anyone knows.

When it happened before, you couldn't go very far before you went back, but this time it's like the whole city is here.

[video] tosavecocoon January 22 2011, 20:33:09 UTC

All of Oerba's here, too. And it's different. It's not supposed to be like this.

[video] danceawaypain January 23 2011, 01:30:06 UTC

What do you mean?

[video] tosavecocoon January 25 2011, 21:28:51 UTC

Oerba... [ She shakes her head for a moment and closes her eyes. ] This is what it looked like when I was younger. The last time I saw it... all the color had gone.

[video] danceawaypain January 25 2011, 21:44:17 UTC

Gone? Gone how?

[video] tosavecocoon January 25 2011, 21:47:41 UTC

[ Another head shake. ]

I don't know. I was gone for a long time and when I got back, everything had changed. Nothing was like it had been.

[ She turns and shades her eyes to look into the distance. ]

What about you? Did anything happen to your home?

[video] danceawaypain January 26 2011, 03:07:36 UTC

Not this time. It looks just like I remember it, except for the people missing. Like it was before the... before the war.

I don't understand...

[video] tosavecocoon January 26 2011, 03:14:15 UTC

No one's here, either. [ She squats down again. Sob. So much turmoil. ]

No one... not even- [ Not even the Cie'th. ]

Not even the dead.

[video] danceawaypain January 26 2011, 17:27:08 UTC

Dead?

That's...

[What do you even say to that.]

If it helps, it's not real. Not really anyway. You can leave if you find the right place. But if you do, it won't come back.

[video] tosavecocoon January 26 2011, 17:31:52 UTC

[ She just shakes her head. And then she does what she always does to cope with things. She smiles. ]

It's here now, and it's just like I remember. If it isn't real, I should enjoy it while it's here. Who knows if I'll ever see it again. [ Protip: she won't. ] It's been so long. Too long. But even the flowers smell the same.

[video] danceawaypain January 27 2011, 01:35:23 UTC

I think that's a good way to look at it.

[video] tosavecocoon January 27 2011, 20:36:21 UTC

[ She nods. ]

If it hurts too much, face it later. Enjoy what's here.

[video] danceawaypain January 27 2011, 21:31:25 UTC

Besides, if you can stick something out, eventually it'll turn out alright.
