[The view shifts little by little as Terra turns the crystal slowly around between her fingers. Her voice is soft as she mutters to herself.]

I still don't understand why we have this....

[Well, that would be one of his own questions answered.

Time to tell lies. If she's a warrior of Chaos, he can explain to her later. If she's not, it's a good opportunity to get some information.]

It is your means of communicating with me, girl. I am- a guardian of those called by the gods if you have questions, I will answer them [Well no, he'll just lie some more. Even if he was being honest, he doesn't know a whole lot more than Terra does]. What worries you?

<3!

[heavenslament]

[Terra blinks and peers at the crystal more intently.]

Oh! Well...that's convenient.

Do you know why we lack our memories? Most of them, anyway....

this would. Backfire spectacularly if she remembered him killing her XD

[He has to rely on his individual souls whispering suggestions to him - as a whole, Exdeath lacks an imagination and isn't all that good at this. But as separate parts he's more than capable of spinning up something potentially believable. And he recalls the term 'purification'. He's not sure how off the mark he is.]

Mortals are impure, unfit to fight in the name of gods. Your memories were taken from you by those who called you here, to render you a useful puppet. Should you succeed, they will be returned to you. Should you displease them, they - along with what is left of your human soul - will be destroyed.

[He remembers fragments. He remembers that Cosmos is significantly kinder to her followers than Chaos. Planting the seeds of doubt in their deity's integrity will do little harm for a warrior of Chaos, they're already well aware he's a dick. But if he can spread doubt in Cosmos...

And she remembers things. Time to ask questions. Perhaps he can discover how hey lost that last battle.]You recall something? Tell me, girl, and I

I almost picked that memory, you know!

[heavenslament]

[Terra frowns instantly at the word 'puppet'. That strikes a chord in her, and she nearly puts the crystal away.]

I'm not a puppet....

[He heard her voice from somewhere, but she was nowhere around him, last he looked. So the warrior is glancing around at his surroundings, not at his crystal, trying to find where her voice came from.]

Terra?

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[Blink. Since she's paying attention to her crystal anyway, she does notice where his voice is coming from.]

...you--look into the crystal!

[Video]

[for_cosmos]

[He finally glances down at it, and blinks in surprise when he sees Terra's face in the surface of the crystal.] Ah, I see.

It seems that the crystals are connected to one another.

[heavenslament]

[She nods.]

That clears up one mystery.

...I wonder if we can communicate with these anywhere, then. And if our enemies can hear us, too.

[It's Terra's voice...but where is it coming from? Saleh looks around.]

Terra? Where are you?

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[Terra glances around as well, then back to her crystal.]

I'm in the sanctuary, still, but...I see you through the crystal!

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

The crystal...?

[He takes out the crystal and peers into it.]

I see. So that's what these crystals are for...

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[She nods, fascinated.]

Maybe I'll find those familiar faces through this. I hope so.

[brightsiding]

Aaaaaah? Helloooooooo-?

voice;

[heavenslament]

Hello? Who's there?

voice;

[brightsiding]

Um- Vanille!

Hey, ah- ... Where are you?

voice;

[heavenslament]

I'm...near where I woke up. But I see you through the crystal, too.

[Kain stares with great curiosity into the crystal. That's her. The green-haired girl he remembers being there when he... Well. Exploded. Seeing her also sparks another memory... one which totally shocks Kain by how good a memory it is. She had to be very important to him. But what is her name?]

...Tina? No, that's not it...

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[Her eyes widen as some of those jumbled memories come together. The man exploding immediately comes to mind, as well as a far more pleasant memory.]

You...

...Kain!

[bound_skyward]

Ter...

[He's trying, give him a moment. It's just that his first things he's remembered so far are dying, and... well. Dying. So this one good, apparently tender moment is such a surprise.]

Terra? Is that right? We've met before...

[Video]

[heavenslament]

[Terra perks up and nods eagerly.]

We have! I--um, where are you? I want to ask about what you remember, but....

[Some things should be done in person, away from people who might overhear.]
