[The video feed opens to show a scene of devastation, the landscape torn apart in the only way raging waters have been known to do. A moment of focus on this ruin and the camera is shifted to show a blond man with rather long hair and dressed in attire typical of mages. The only thing overly interesting about his appearance would be the two 'horns

[Hear that familiar snicker, Emperor? Your newest fan is now snickering at your attempt to fish out information. Famfrit is amused, especially since the man went as far as to cover his horns using his own hair. Now no one will be able to recognize Mateus, especially since the boy, Firion, is dead.]

How clever of you, Your Eminence.

[One eyebrow had been briefly raised at the obvious humor displayed but the praise following it allowed it to be overlooked and really such a game as this was in a way amusing, so perhaps the humor is even warranted.]

We shall see how many of those worms which fought against Chaos in the Void have been brought here with this little show perhaps...and if they are foolish enough to be unable to see through such disguise then so much the better for us hm?

[scionofaquarius]

[However, judging by the responses so far--the Emperor's clever disguise has done nothing to ward off the naysayers who already know of him. A shame really, but at least Famfrit now knows who to look out for. These stalwart heroes are too stupid to filter their video posts after all.]

My lord, they have seen. These mortals would sooner drag your name through mud than bow down to you. Therefore, I ask you, Mateus, which of these children causes the most threat?

They shall no doubt come to stop the Lucavi from achieving our goals.

[As much as it would be fun to strip Cloud down himself, he had larger plans to concern himself with, therefore he would use this unsought for offer to deal with the boy while he concerned himself with other things.]

Perhaps you should focus your sights on the one known as Cloud Strife. Not only would he seek to destroy me, I have little doubt he would also seek to just as mindlessly destroy you and the other Lucavi as well.

[Cloud is just glaring. Glaring forever. You can change your clothes but you can't change your face, Emperor.]

Hn... You.

[video]

[divineemperor]

[The expression is one of confusion, though that confusion is belied by the subtle smugness that lurks in the violet eyes of the blond emperor. So Cloud was here as well was he, good to know. Not that it concerned him any, the blond man was just as much a mindless insect as Firion had been and would eventually find himself facing the same fate.]

Do I know you?

[video]

[loveandstrife]

[Still glaring. He's done caring about whether someone has been to the Void or not. He's still an evil bastard.]

Don't come that, you know exactly who I am.

[divineemperor]

[A moment of consideration of the phone's controls and he's managed to set up a filter on this conversation, or at least his end of it. The pretend ignorance has been thrown out the figurative window after its up as well. Have a look of disdain instead, Cloud.]

Cloud Strife isn't it?

You seemed to have done a rather poor job of guarding your friends' from what I've seen on this device.

[Hay sup. Unfortunately for you Min is waaaaaaay smarter than the warriors of Cosmos. And he's using the fact you only know his name and not what he looks like to simply stare. He's blank; emotionless - and he doesn't say a word. Then the video ends.]

[divineemperor]

[Hey it's the dude who was hanging tangled in that fallen tree from the destruction. So you survived after all and that also explains just where your body went as well..since he doesn't know you, but you look quite the mess, have some fake concern directed your way]

Are you alright, sir? You look in as bad a state as this land here does.

[warkitoff]

[Bartz is a sucker.]

I think you'll be safe. The man who did that was...after something specific.

Keep your eyes open anyway, this place is dangerous right now. You'll be safer in Alexandria.

[divineemperor]

I see, thank you.

While I do have a few spells to defend myself with, I'd rather not be forced into using them if I can avoid it. [Oh how he lies, but playing the fool for now will just make the rest of these so-called heros' look all the more foolish in the end for having bought into his little act.]

I'll make ready for my trip then, hopefully it'll be uneventful, hm?

[The man's face is almost familiar, but the warrior pushes that idea aside. With his memory the way it is, there is no telling why he feels like he should recognize the man.

The scene around him is what catches the Warrior's attention for the moment.]

Have you seen anyone else around that area?

[video]

[divineemperor]

[Well, well. Warrior of Light was here as well, hm? There was 4 of the 10 warriors, well just 3 now with Firion having passed on, he wondered just how many more were here. And if they were here..how many of those from Chaos were here beyond himself and apparently Garland and Kuja? None of this shows in his expression though, its kept carefully calm if perhaps a touch concerned.]

Not as of yet I haven't.

[A almost thoughtful pause and he speaks again as if the next idea had only just occurred to him]

Was someone you knew in this area?

[video]

[for_cosmos]

A friend, but there was an enemy there as well. It seems that both have disappeared from there.

[Maetus knows that Firion is dead, but the warrior doesn't know that he knows, and he isn't going to try to explain it.]

If you come across an older man wearing glasses, be careful of him.

[video]

[divineemperor]

I see. I hope you find your friend eventually.

[Though the Emperor would be more than glad to send you to see him if so you wished, but this was neither the time or place to make such suggestive offers which would destroy his current act.]

I will make certain to keep a watch out for such a man and will speak to those here in this town to be wary of him as well.

[He'll actually do no such thing as he knows just whom Warrior speaks of and considers him a useful pawn at the moment, however those words do sound good over the air even if they aren't true.]
