[The video flickers on to reveal a knight with pure white armour and hair. You may recognise the speaker's voice as matching a certain dark knight's from his last video feed, but his appearance is now entirely the opposite.]

Forgive me, but I've yet to find Zidane. I hope everyone else's searches have been more fruitful?

[He looks off-camera, but

I've never met this Zidane...but my understanding is that everyone from both factions will be transported to the specific battlefield by the gods when the time comes, as they did last time. So if he does not show up then...then he may truly be gone.

[hallowedlight]

I see. So we will all be fighting as one force, not individually.

I realise you must have concerns of your own, but if it isn't too much to ask, could you keep a lookout for him?

[Video/Cosmos Filter]

[mountain_sage]

That's correct.

I will keep an eye out for him. What does he look like?

[Video/Cosmos Filter]

[hallowedlight]

Thank you. He's blond, not very tall, and has a tail. [Along with a knack for getting into trouble...]

[voice/filter]

[renzokukens]

Looks like he's really gone.

[voice/filter]

[hallowedlight]

Don't jump to conclusions when we don't know for certain.

[voice/filter]

[renzokukens]

What other choice do we have, Cecil?

[voice/filter]

[hallowedlight]

[Cecil regards the crystal with surprise -- and disappointment.] We've defeated a god together, and you would give up on a friend so quickly?

We have the choice to keep faith, Squall. Zidane would do no less for you.

[Terra shakes her head, dispirited.]

I haven't found him.

...have you heard from Bartz?

[Video/Cosmos Filtered]

[hallowedlight]

...

No, I've heard only from you and Squall thus far.

[Video/Cosmos Filtered]

[heavenslament]

I hope he's alright....

[Video/Cosmos Filtered]

[hallowedlight]

He may still be looking. He's good friends with Zidane, after all.

[Rosa's smiling, just a little. She's touched by Cecil's offer, even though he doesn't remember.]

I would like to stay with you.

[hallowedlight]

[He remembers how to be a gentleman, at least. He wouldn't dream of letting her walk onto a battlefield undefended.]

Very well. Do you have any other skills besides archery? [If they're going to work as a team, he may as well (re)learn what she's capable of.]

I'm a white mage. You concentrate on the battle and I will heal you when you're hurt.

[Video/Private Filter]

[hallowedlight]

[A white mage... Cosmos has a lot more variety in her forces beyond pure firepower, this time.]

Apparently we're to fight this battle as a single force, so your white magic may be needed around the battlefield. I can protect you if you must stop to treat the wounded.

Someone has gone missing?

[video; cosmos filtered]

[hallowedlight]

Yes, a friend of mine. I doubt you've met him if you arrived so recently.

[ghostingserver]

Is-- [she abruptly stops, mid asking her question of if this is a common occurance or not. for a second, she does nothing. whilst her curiosity is part of Aigis' way of learning things, she has come to learn that it's not her place, sometimes. she has to take people's feelings into account first.] I do not know if I have seen him, but if you give me a description, I will be able to check my memory circuits to make sure.

[video; cosmos filtered]

[hallowedlight]

[...Memory circuits? Please speak knight, Aigis, not techno.]

He is young, fair-haired, and has a tail. Usually he dresses in blue.
