The Floating Mountain Moves

[somarium_lords]

At the stroke of midnight, a strange wind blew from the direction of the floating mountain. The air seeped through doors, windows, cracks-and everyone who took even a breath would suddenly find themselves lulling into a peaceful sleep. No matter what they were doing, even if they were cooking or just walking, something seemed to guide their bodies

Mother *&^%$#@ #&^*@ @#&^$* and *&@*&! hell #&*&#!!!!

[there's a brief glimpse of panicked NPCs running around, with Cid's airship in the background. yeah, guess who was on the floating mountain at the time?]

Look, if anyone's stuck up on this god forsaken piece of *&^% ya got one hour before I'm takin' off back to Somni. [then there's another small stream of bleeped out curses before he just yells at some random person.]

[Hey Cid. Hey Cid hey Cid hey Cid you remember me? Apparently I'm up here on this mountain with you and trying to help your organized shrieking. Hope that's okay with you.]

[...the *&$#-]

Toothless!? Hell you doin' here/

[hasnoteefs]

[Coming up behind him, Toothless nudges Cid gently and gives him one of those imploring puppydragon looks. Let me help, yes?]

[Kamui's in the desert, so he doesn't know what's going on in. Nor is he close enough to the sinkhole to see what happened there. His concern goes towards the dream for now, but he does have a bad feeling.]

...who was that? That woman?

[Voice]

[i_love_head]

[Seiji stirs awake after the dream, groggier than he would after a regular night's sleep. The sound of his Dreamberry scraping and sliding over a wood surface registers in the recording.] Whoever she is, we need to find her. She might know a way out of here. [No matter what anyone says, he's not giving up on that just yet.]

Re: [Voice]

[seishiromustdie]

[ Kamui's eyes widen at Seiji's statement. He was also desperately looking for a way out.]

...You think she would know? [From the dream, it seemed as if she as much as a prisoner as they were. But it was worth a chance.]

But what kind of a place in Somarium would have those things attached to her? The industrial district?

[Voice]

[i_love_head]

[Oh yeah, he wants out sfm. He'll twist any suspicious incident into a lead.]

Someone has to. I'm not staying here forever!

[Pauses just a moment to think.] If those cables are sustaining her, she could be in a hospital or some other medical facility. The place doesn't look familiar otherwise.

[Lloyd blearily rubs his eyes and sits up after the dream ends. On his nightstand, his Dreamberry is on, but he hasn't noticed this yet.] Huwhah? Weird dream...

[letalis_anima]

Oh, you had a weird dream too, Red Guy? Was there a pretty lady in it?

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

[Forehead, meet palm.] I'm not "Red Guy." My name is Lloyd. And I-

Wait. How'd you know about that?

[Video]

[letalis_anima]

[IGNORING THE CORRECTION. Selective hearing, she has it.]

Oh! I had a dream like that too just now! I was, like, eating but then I suddenly fell asleep, and I saw a sleeping lady that said to find her! That's pretty cool that we dreamed the same thing.

[Akane here looks a little frighten, but one thing is for certain-]

T-That woman.. She needs help!

[unindicative]

Akane-chan... please don't worry about this.

[You're too young to be concerned about this kind of thing. :<]

[mafiahime]

B-But Kasuka-nii! [that woman needs help ): ]

She looks sad..

[unindicative]

Then we'll find a way to help her. But worrying like this... it'll only make you feel stressed.

voice;

[unfearful]

... Well, that would explain her disappearance.

voice;

[knightofchanges]

It would, wouldn't it? Though I can't say I recognize the place, other than it was the mountain.

Do you?

voice;

[unfearful]

No, I don't think so...

I doubt it'd be that easy, anyway.

[knightofchanges]

For someone who wants to be saved, she's making it rather difficult for us.
