-001- [ Video ] Dream on, Magess of Red.

[sandrubyglimpse]

[ The video feed blinks on, revealing the face a woman in her twenties, her hair the colour of cherry blossoms. The view turns this way and that, her fingers turning the crystal over to inspect every aspect of it. Of course, she has no idea that it's on

W-what?!

Don't cast Fira on it! It's just a communication crystal.

Re: [Video]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Oh!

[ The concentration Anna held on keeping the crystal afloat broke. Quickly, she reached out a hand to catch it before it could fall to the ground. ]

Just a communication crystal? This thing? [ Her head tilted in confusion. Is that how the woman managed to fit in that crystal? ] I guess I'll let it live, if that's possible...

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[She nods.]

That's a good idea. Otherwise, you would be without a way to communicate long-distance with others here.

...did you hear Cosmos' voice?

[Video]

[sandrubyglimpse]

I see... [ She inspects the device further, wondering how such a thing can possibly transmit a way to communicate. ]

I did. [ A pause. ] 'Chaos must be stopped.' I kind of don't understand it...

[Video]

[hallowedlight]

Ah, casting spells on your crystal wouldn't be wise.

...Damcyan? I've heard that name before. [Amnesiac!Cecil is doing his best to put together what Rosa has told him...] Do you know of Prince Edward?

[Video]

[sandrubyglimpse]

[ She grins mischievously. ] I just wanted to see how it'd hold up...

You've heard of Damcyan? [ She tilts her head. Now that she thought about it, his voice sounded slightly familiar... As far as putting a face with a name, she had no clue. ] It's a small desert kingdom.

[ Her face becomes bright upon mentionance of the bard. ] Prince Edward is my beloved husband. You've heard of him?

[Video]

[hallowedlight]

[The realisation hits him like a physical blow. So she's Edward's beloved Rosa had mentioned?

Oh, gods, to think his own brother is responsible for... There's a delay before he replies, and his voice is very quiet.]

...I... Yes. Edward arrived here only a few days ago. He's a friend of mine, though I cannot remember it. Is he really your husband...?

[Video]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Yes, he is. My father wouldn't consent to our marriage, so we ran to Damcyan to be wed.

[ All the while, she had her head tilted, confused at the quiet. If he had mentioned his brother, certainly she would've remembered. Though, now that she thought about it... ]

Wait a minute. I remember you. You're that Dark Knight that came to us in Damcyan, after the Red Wings attacked us.

[Video]

[holyrosary]

Pardon me, did you say Damcyan?

[Video]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Yes; yes, I did. Have you heard of Damcyan before?

[Video]

[holyrosary]

I have. I'm from Baron. A dear friend of mine hails from Damcyan himself.

[Video]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Baron... [ She lets the word roll around in her mind. ] I know of that kingdom. Never visited, though. Who's your friend? If he's from Damcyan, there's a good chance I know him.

[exsergeant]

What other spells do you know? Besides Fira?

[sandrubyglimpse]

Oh, plenty. There's Thundara, Blizzara, Bio, Drain, and some White magic spells, such as Cura, Sight, Berserk, Float, and Esuna. I know the first level spells, but not the third.

What about you?

[exsergeant]

Mostly the same.

[She's not sure what to make of this, of how many people from worlds so unlike Cocoon know their l'Cie spells, especially without actually being l'Cie.]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Amazing. Are you a Sage too? I've never met very many, save for my father.

[Voice]

[bound_skyward]

Damcyan...

[Voice]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Yes, Damcyan. Do you know of it?

[Voice]

[bound_skyward]

Well, yes, it's a kingdom where I'm from. I'm... Kain Highwind of Baron.

[Voice]

[sandrubyglimpse]

Baron seems to be a popluar place as of late. Nice to meet you, Kain. I'm Anna von Muir.
