001 -- [ accidental video ]

[endofastory]

[ The angle of the video is strange; Auron's examining the sphere and isn't aware that he's turned it on. The first half of the video is silence, save for the shuffle of cloth and hands against, and the occasional distinct moogle noise.

After a while, the sphere is held still, and there's a strangely angled shot of Auron's face. ]This is... a

[ is that.

it is. askhdjsajd auron!!

-- you sure look old. ]

Hello, Auron.

[ video ]

[endofastory]

[ Thanks a lot, Braska.

At the voice, Auron doesn't quite jump, but his eyes (er, eye) definitely widen(s) and it takes him a moment to look down at the screen. ]

Lord Braska?!

[ ... okay, now it's time to be the calm guardian again. At least for the moment. ]

... This isn't the Farplane, is it?

[sillyhatonly]

[ sorry! he just remembers when you were a cute widdle bby boy. now you are grizzled and kind of angry looking. but he smiles nonetheless because you are still auron. ]

No, it isn't. Though I'm afraid I can't tell you much else; I haven't been here very long.

[endofastory]

[ He wasn't widd-- little, he was twenty-five! ]

Hmm. What can you tell me, then?

[ ... He is keeping himself calm. Very, very calm. Mostly because he doesn't know who can see this and because his mun wants to save all the SKJSGKLGJGS for in person he needs to figure out what's going on before he'll feel even remotely comfortable. ]

[Video] Because hey! Gippal actually knows this old man XD

[albhedneutral]

You're in Never Was, jackass. There's a ton of people here...and not much else. Yuna and Rikku are here though so there's always that?

[Video] Poor Auron, everyone calling him old. XD

[endofastory]

[ Oh. It's the jackass. Huh. ]

Never Was?

[ He shifts, holding the sphere a bit more... normally. ]

They're safe?

Re: [Video] Well he is!

[albhedneutral]

Yeah, the mayor has an...interesting way of naming stuff.

Safe as ever. Last I heard Tidus showed up so Yuna has been hanging around him and Rikku and I are working on building an airship to get us the hell out of here.

[Video] He's thirty-five! DX

[endofastory]

The mayor?

[ Tidus is here, too? He'll bet the reunion with Jecht was... interesting. If they've even had it yet. ]

Walking would be too easy.

[vryvryfrigtning]

Not very talkative, hmm?

[ video ]

[endofastory]

When I have something to say.

[ video ]

[vryvryfrigtning]

How often is that?

[ video ]

[endofastory]

When it comes up.

[ Unimpressed Auron is unimpressed. ]

[audio, locked]

[sandinmyboots]

You're back.

[Kefka remembers an Auron.]

[video, locked]

[endofastory]

... Back?

[ What. ]

[video, locked]

[sandinmyboots]

You were here before, though you probably don't remember it. No one else does. Ask Rikku if you think I'm lying.

[video, locked]

[endofastory]

[ Well, seeing the amount of people who have told him the same thing... ]

People think you're lying a lot?

[mixinvixen]

Auron! You're back!

...I thought the forest ate you! How did you get away?!

[endofastory]

If I was here, I don't remember.

[ He's not even going to ask about the forest. ]

... What happened to your clothes?

[mixinvixen]

Geez, is your memory getting holey in your old age?

[she looks down at herself, clearly confused]

Huh? What about them? I thought I got all the machine oil out.

[endofastory]

Rikku. The last thing I remember is the Sending.

[ And he's not old, dammit! ]

... Where are they?
