...futile.

[Kain glares harshly into the screen.]

What use were our actions in the cycles of war, if that threat was destined to be reborn again? Will defeating Chaos now make any difference? Was it all in vain?

[Angry dragoon sounds especially angry by the end of that. Then his tone shifts to be much lighter by the time he switches it to a ( Read more... )

[Anyone could be forgiven for thinking there wasn't a forest full of the birds at the base of Mount Ordeals with how Porom's been jumping at every little sound and demanding to know if Ursula thinks it's a chocobo. Apparently, hearing that they're expected back soon only managed to make her fret more. Which is quite the achievement, considering how ( Read more... )

[It's morning in Alfitaria, and since it's Rydia's birthday they are going to see some of her favorite people.]

Good Morning!

Me and Rydia are coming to Troia for the day. Make room at dinner for two more!

And Kain, no training today until you've seen Rydia!

[The monkeyboy's got a couple of very important things to ask before this whole adventure begins. He looks more serious than has ever been seen on the network, save maybe the brief time after Dagger died. He really doesn't like that he has to do this, but he knows it's necessary.]

Hey, guys.

I, uh... [He puts a hand up to his head to scratch the ( Read more... )

[ Camera flickers on as a hand pulls away from it, the recorder filming as the ex-SOLDIER retreats from where he was asking someone manning a stand where he was. He had done a quick look over what he had on his person when he first arrived but it seemed that people were 'used' to people who didn't have a clue why they were there. As he almost ( Read more... )

[To say that Cecil is worried for Lilisette after her message would be a grave understatement, despite his apparently calm text response. More than once he's entertained the idea of amassing a group to storm Lufene's liar and rescue Lilisette, but his kneejerk reaction is tempered by experience. Lilisette seems to know what she's doing and the ( Read more... )

[Upon arriving, Rahal had been knocked out of sorts, and once he came to he still thought himself to be dreaming. He had been out on a training mission with the Iron Rams, to Garlaige Citadel. Perhaps the floor had given way? Was this some secret and long forgotten area of the Citadel, built long ago by the Ancients ( Read more... )

[Lilisette has been at the Chaos Shrine with Lufene for a while now. She's busied herself by reading a few of the books that Lufene has in her collection, and by speaking with the genome when she has the chance. Thus far Lufene's not been all that receptive, but Lilisette's in one piece, and she's been treated well ( Read more... )

[When the video first comes on, there isn't actually that much that can be seen, and there's a strange sound in the background. Then the darkness moves, revealing first what had apparently been an enormous paw, then a large black puppy staring at the Sky Phone curiously. His head is tilted to the side as he considers the device he's found. He ( Read more... )

[Kain glares angrily into the screen. He'd wanted to make an announcement himself, but this isn't exactly how he'd thought it would be. Too late to do much about that though, with all the things he's been hearing.]

Say what you will about my sanity, but I won't tolerate a further word spoken against Reis. If I come upon anyone saying such things ( Read more... )
