#123 [Video]
[The video starts running on an empty area in the square, near the fountain. All's quiet for a moment, until--with a short flash--Chrono tumbles into view and falls into the fountain with a splash. He splutters and drags himself out of the water, pulling himself up with his left hand and looking around with a confused look. His horns are clearly visible, so it's obvious he's in his true form, although his outfit appears to have changed slightly. Some of the water is tinted red--he seems to have come to the City in the middle of the battle, but it's hard to tell if the blood is his, or someone else's.]
Aion? Shader? Where am I? This isn't--
[His eyes lighten with recognition, and he lets out a sardonic laugh.] Oh my God. The City really is Hell...
[He pushes himself up and climbs out of the fountain, looking a little unsteady on his feet. He turns a little more towards the camera--that's when it becomes evident that his right arm is missing.]
Everything looks the same. It's like nothing's changed...[He takes a step forward and wobbles, almost falling over. He crouches down and steadies himself with his left hand.] W-whoa! I guess Aion hurt me more than I thought. Damn it. [He glances up a little--and that's when he notices his old tablet laying on the ground. Leans forward and picks it up, bringing the camera closer to his face.]
Is this thing recording...? [swallows] Is anyone still here? ...I'm home.
((OOC: I still haven't gotten around to writing up a post covering all the little physical changes he goes through (he gets beat up pretty bad in the final volumes), but here's the cliff notes version: as you can see the picture linked above, his arm is missing. That's the biggest change. These two pictures give you an idea of the rest of the changes--his left eye is wonky, left ear is discolored, he has some scars on his face, his outfit changed, his eyebuds are...bigger?, and his braid got cut off (no more Rapunzel hair :<). I thiiiink that's pretty much everything.))
