[The video feed turns on, and it's faced upwards towards the sky. At first, there's nothing, and then the face of a moogle pops into view, pom pom bouncing. It adjusts its little scarf.

That's how it works, kupo! Any questions?The Sky Phone shakes a bit, until it turns on its owner briefly. The voices are still pretty low

I hate you. *tsuns*

[desert_baby]

Basch!

[He can't help but wave into the phone. How long has it been?]

Hey! Yeah, this isn't Ivalice. It's called Gaia. Somethin' about this world is drawing people here. Some guy named Garland, I think?

[Penelo explained it to him once but honestly? When has Vaan really ever paid attention when there are shiny things all around?]

[video] You love me. <3

[bearitproudly]

Vaan.

[Too long. And how did he know you'd be here? Instinct. He knew you'd be here causing trouble.]

A rather unfortunate series of events have pulled us here. [He never pays attention. But Basch is filing this little bit of info into his brain.]

[video] Mrrr

[desert_baby]

[Hey, he didn't do anything this time! Naturally, Vaan should always be there to give you some little bro grief.]

Yeah. Other people from other worlds are here. Some getting pulled in an' out.

[He sobers up a little here.]

A lot of weird stuff has been appearing here besides us too. Um, where are you, anyway?

[video]

[bearitproudly]

[Yeah, this time. And here he thought he got enough from Gabranth.]

Other worlds? Interesting indeed.

The moogles informed me that I am outside a place called Shumi Village.

[Needless to say this princess is quick to respond - firstly, to hear the familiar gruff voice then have its identity confirmed visually. Wide-eyed with surprise and hope, she activates her own sky phone. There is much to tell, and his presence... is instantly comforting.]

Basch...

[video]

[bearitproudly]

[Needless to say, he wasn't expecting to see Ashe here. This only confirms what Vaan had told him, about people being pulled in.]

Your Majesty. You are well?

[video]

[mademyresolve]

Yes, I'm fine.

[She nods, keen to discuss with her former protector.]

You remember nothing of having been here previously?

[video]

[bearitproudly]

I do not, though I have been told that it has been some time since I had graced these lands.

[ video ]

[shatterhearted]

Basch fon Ronsenburg. A sight for sore eyes, indeed.

[ The slightest hint of a smile graces her face - however blink and you might well miss it. ]

Have you been told about your situation? You have arrived in the world known as Gaia.

[ video ]

[bearitproudly]

Fran. It is good to see you as well.

Vaan informed me of little details - of this world pulling from different worlds. I take it there is more I need to know.

[ video ]

[shatterhearted]

It pulls people from not only different worlds, but from different times. What is the last thing you remember, Basch? I assume you do not remember any previous ventures to this world?

[ video ]

[bearitproudly]

I unfortunately do not remember anything from any previous trip here.

As for Ivalice, it was mere days until her Majesty's coronation.

[video]

[animus_concisus]

Another from Ivalice? You have many friends already here.

[video]

[bearitproudly]

As I have come to know. You have been pulled to this world as well?

[video]

[animus_concisus]

Yes, although I come from a different world.

[video]

[bearitproudly]

Then this Garland is not pulling from just Ivalice. [That is even more troublesome to hear.]

Have many been pulled from your world?

[voice]

[captain_rusty]

This is Gaia, not Ivalice. You are another victim of Garland's villainy, but rest assured we are working to restore our world to its proper state!

[voice]

[bearitproudly]

Then you are a native of this world? My apologies for appearing, as it were.

[voice]

[captain_rusty]

I am. My name is Captain Adelbert Steiner, of the Knights of Pluto. And you have no need to apologise. We know that you Sky People did not come here of your own accord, or we might be less sympathetic to your plight.

[voice]

[bearitproudly]

It is good to speak with you, Captain. I am Basch fon Ronsenburg.

I would bear no ill to any world, most of all one that is not my own.
