[Snow hasn't quite noticed that his sticklike handheld has a couple of different features, yet. He just flips it open and starts talking, in the hopes that Fang or Light still has theirs... wherever they are

[haha_steelguard]

Uh.... huh. Thought this was supposed to be a secure channel.

[Snow stares at the camera for a moment before shrugging and going with it]

Yeah, I just got here. We were in Edenhall, and -- you don't know what a Fal'cie is?

[There's a horrible "not-in-Kansas any more" expression developing on his face. Of all the things someone could've casually said that'd really freak him out, that was pretty high on the list]

[...at least the last time he ended up on another world, it'd had the courtesy to have been there for all of history]

Just to be sure... Fang is a tall girl, uses a spear, really nice accent, right? It's not a common name on Cocoon, but...

[A horrible thought occurrs to him! He quickly dives into a pocket, pulling out a large crystal tear. He looks at it for a moment, then visibly relaxes, even smiles]

Almost thought we were at the end, there, but a hero's work is never done, huh.

[sandinmyboots]

Oh, you're back.

[Kefka isn't sure if he cares yet. Time to eavesdrop!]

[Video]

[haha_steelguard]

I'm what?

Do calls on this thing go out to everyone now?

[Man, hope there are no Fal'cie listening in.]

[Video]

[sandinmyboots]

Pretty much!

[This guy is an idiot. Pfffbhahahaha.]

[Video]

[haha_steelguard]

Well, that's awkward.

[Not that he sounds too bothered.]

So does everyone have one of these, then?

[another returnee. the world must be up to its old tricks again.]

You've no memory of your prior time here, I assume?

[Text]

[haha_steelguard]

[When did this get a keypad?!]

I've never been here before.

Though I think you're about to give me some bad news about that, aren't you.

[text]

[tenacious_stray]

So you may claim, yet you have most assuredly been present in this world at least once before-if only for a brief length of time. [he has the notes to prove it.]

[text]

[haha_steelguard]

Uh, did "I" say what I'd been doing when I ended up here the first time?

[upperblues]

[He got a little sidetracked with how, at first glance, you look really familiar. And since he's already on the feed, he'll just give you a dry and totally unenthusiastic run-down.]

Your friends probably aren't here.

...That thing is your only means of communication here, and it only communicates with the people in this town. Welcome... to the town of Never Was. [But he doesn't really mean it. This place sucks.]

[Video]

[haha_steelguard]

Well, you must be the official welcoming committee!

[It's obviously a joke. Snow is grinning and everything. He has no idea that this guy makes Light look well-adjusted]

So who's in charge here? And what do they hate? It'd be a nice change if "l'cie" wasn't the first answer to the second question.

[video]

[upperblues]

[He's linefacing at you, Snow. Funny joke wasn't that funny. :|]

Guy named Xemnas is the self-proclaimed mayor here... (...l'Cie? Must be something only his world has.) There aren't any... "l'Cie" here that I know of. [...Shrug. Personally, he hates everything about this town, so that isn't a fair question to ask.]

[video]

[haha_steelguard]

'Xemnas?'

[Clearly this is not a land of sane names]

People drop in like I just did often, I guess? What's the usual procedure here?

[video]

[bahamutgal]

[Of all the people...oh well, she honestly couldn't complain. It was nice to see a familiar face. Good thing he actually recognized her this time.]

Well, well, look what the cat dragged in.

[Video]

[haha_steelguard]

Fang!

[Whew. That's a relief. He wasn't the only one!]

What's the deal? One minute we were in Edenhall, the next... Did Dysley do this? Eden? You have any idea at all?

[Video]

[bahamutgal]

[Edenhall? What - oh, right. The whole timeline deal here. How could she forget?

Fang sighed and crossed her arms, looking a little uncomfortable, for a change.]

It sure ain't Dysley, considerin' he's here. [Though he'd been awfully quiet. Probably for the best. Maybe Kefka had gotten to him for that roof thing.] A couple of people think it's the mayor here, but there's really no explanation. You're stuck here.

[Video]

[haha_steelguard]

He's here?

[The camera jerked a little. Snow had almost punched his palm. Then he'd remembered what he was holding. Heh. Pretend you didn't notice that.]

Probably thinks we're all dancing to his tune still. But you mean we're stuck here. We'll find a way out, right?

Where're you at?
