-- And I think this is how... [Click! There’s video, along with Edgar’s smiling face.] What does this little machine do? I’ve never seen anything like it in Figaro or the Empire! Locke, come get a look at this thing!

What is it? Looks like...

[Locke is a bit at a loss for words. It’s certainly a thing. The silver-haired treasure hunter - who

[Reaction and Voice] sorry <3

[Celes had mixed feelings over this. One one hand two of her friends were in the bubble. On the other, one of them used to be something more. It appeared like this was Locke without memories of Vatheon. And he came as a two for one package with a certain lecherous King.

She was no coward, but this. What ever this was, made her hesitate.]

...

The chainsaw should be the least of your concern. You just told everyone you are here using the star shaped device.

That voice... Celes? [There's genuine concern and surprise in his voice.] How did you get here?

[His breath catches for just a moment. How did Celes get here?

What she said kinda goes one ear and out the other - he's not sure what she means about the star-shaped device anyway.]

Celes!

[Cue protective instinct.] Are you alright!?

[Voice]

[onceageneral]

The same you and everyone else did. The Coral brought us here. [A pause.] I'm fine, Locke.

[Voice]

[checkmydrills]

That's a relief. So far, nobody has indicated there's much in the way of danger here. Even so, maybe it would be better for the three of us to meet up in person.

I'm incredibly curious as to how something as simple as coral could pull a stunt like this.

[The feed's temporarily muted.]

Edgar, let me talk to her.

[He's sure he'll understand, and he's going to walk away a bit - he'd rather Edgar not overhear the conversation.]

Are you sure?

[He can tell something's up. She doesn't sound that thrilled to see him, but if the positions were switched he'd... well, maybe not thrilled, but definitely something.]

[She was ready to try to explain this as best as could, but when the other end went quiet. Very quiet. She suspected they might have hung up. She pulled the SFC away for a moment to see if they still were connected.

Seems they were. And there was Locke.]

…I am fine. It’s been quite a while. [She was.] You really don’t remember, do you? [How do you even discuss this with Locke of all people.]

voice;

[wingedge]

... remember what, Celes?

[He's not sure what he's supposed to remember, here. Can you give him some more context clues? They've been through a lot together.]

Anything about this place. Deciding to go on your own after Kefka, twice. Being friends with Kagome and the others. The date at the carnival and what happened between us... [Celes fell quiet.]

voice;

[wingedge]

... Celes, I'm sure I've never been here before. What are you talking about?

[He's confused and a little defensive - he feels like there's a bit of accusation in her voice -- and really if he's going to be blamed/yelled at for something, he'd kind of like to know what.]
