001 ♠ [ video / action ]

[upperblues]

[The video feed blinks on to reveal a young man standing at an awkward angle with the city's vast landscape behind him. Seems the device is laying on the ground and has yet to be discovered. The guy puts a hand on his hip, shifting his weight to one side and looking pensive.]

...So. It's not another dream. [A slow look around.] Just what is this

Ah Leon--!

[ Wait, he hadn't seen Leon around lately... maybe he had disappeared? He did look a little confused. So only one way to find out! ]

You look a little lost. Is something wrong?

[Video]

[upperblues]

[...Leon? And the kid acts like he knows him. He'll have to ask in a minute; first, down to business.]

What is this place?

[Video]

[chosen_derp]

Uh- you're in a town called Never Was.

[ There was a small pause as he leans in closer to the screen. Yup, same old Leon. So why was he acting to weird? ]

Did you... hit your head or something?

[Video]

[upperblues]

. . .

[Real nice name for a town. ...Why is he looking at me like that?]

I think you have me confused with someone else.

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

You're definitely in another world.

[He pauses, then rubs the back of his head.]

What's SeeD?

[video]

[upperblues]

...Wonderful. [An extra dosage of sarcasm to go with his already dry voice.]

An elite mercenary force. [That sounds so--...] People just hire us to take care of problems they can't do themselves.

[video]

[monkeyflirt]

Isn't it just? [Two can play at the sarcasm bit.]

Well, mister big bad elite mercenary guy, what who are you looking for?

[video]

[upperblues]

[He just snorts in response, shifting his weight.]

...I didn't mean for it to come out like that. [At Zidane's question, he glances to the side, almost pensive looking.] A lot of people. Too many to list. [He looks at the other guy sidelong.] You'd be here a while.

[ixhydromancer]

Oh hey, it's you again.

[ video ]

[upperblues]

..."Me again"? We've never met.

[ video ]

[ixhydromancer]

We met the last time you were here.

[upperblues]

[Demyx gets a long, incredulous stare.]

I think I would remember you if we had. [He's sort of staring at that hair-do in particular.] Look, I've never been here before. I don't even know where "here" is.

[voice]

[moardarknessplz]

It works quite well.

[voice]

[upperblues]

I noticed. Where am I?

[voice]

[moardarknessplz]

It's generally referred to as The Town that Never Was.

[voice]

[upperblues]

Nice name... And let me guess. No way out that anyone knows of. [Because he seriously can't imagine anyone choosing to live here.]

[video]

[bahamutgal]

[This guy sure liked to talk to himself, didn't he? Fang just kind of 'hmmphs' to herself.]

This ain't a dream, but it's definitely another world.

[video]

[upperblues]

[You don't know the half of it, Fang.]

...Great. Any idea why we're here?

[video]

[bahamutgal]

[Smirks.]

Not a clue. Everyone's got their own idea as to why, it seems. Could be an afterlife. Could be a paradise. But you're stuck here 'til someone decides to be cruel and throw you out.

[video]

[upperblues]

How lucky for me. [Said dryly; he cants his head to the side, closing his eyes. He wanted to believe everyone could handle fighting Matron-- ...Edea without him there, but wanting is something entirely different from knowing without a doubt.

When he opens his eyes again, he frowns.]

Are we expected to sleep on the streets, or what?
