01 / [video/action in Traverse Town!]

[uwaaooo]

[The video feed clicks on to show a wild mess of green hair, a raised eyebrow, and a bright red eye squinting up at the camera. The communicator is obviously being held upside-down, but whoever's holding the thing doesn't seem to have realized it yet. A young, raspy voice pipes up from under the mess of hair, sounding tentative.]

So... others from

[ What a funny coincidence, Terra's magic box had been upside down when she first used it too. And there may be a familiar voice in response to that boisterous shout. ]

Oh!

[ So Loud Gau. But more importantly... familiar face. Terra stares a few minutes, because she recognizes the name, the speech pattern. What was the boy's name again? ]

You... You're ...!

[uwaaooo]

[It's a good thing Gau has quick reflexes, because he almost drops the box in surprise when Terra's face appears on the screen! The video jostles around for a few seconds while Gau fumbles with his grip on the device, but once he finally has it in both hands, he grins right into the camera. Oh man, he is SO HAPPY to see someone familiar!]

TERRA! Uwaaah! Terra here! Terra ok? Where is?

[ There is an answering, muted smile in return. She thought she would be alone in this place, and she was afraid Locke really was gone - but if this boy - Gau! - was here, then maybe others would be too. ]

Gau... I, yes, I'm okay. I'm... I'm in another town. But you - you must be in Traverse?

[uwaaooo]

[Gau cocks his head to one side, momentarily confused. He brightens up as soon as the name clicks, though.]

Tra-verse? Yaoh! That what moogle say. [As if to verify this, Gau points the camera at a nearby moogle, who gives Terra a small wave.] Very dark here. What town Terra in?

Re: [Video]

[uwaaooo]

Io-kah? Not from Ioka, not from any village. Gau from Veldt! Near Mobliz. You know?

[Gau's not sure of the exact meaning, but he's pretty sure that 'cretin' isn't a nice thing to call someone. He's just gonna file that one away for later, Magus!]

Re: [Video]

[uwaaooo]

... Oh. You from other world?

... And not call 'cretin'. Mean.

['later' in this case, meaning 'a whole two seconds']

[ He's looking a bit annoyed.]

You don't have to be so loud! It's freaking out the horses.

Re: video

[uwaaooo]

Sorry! Not mean to scare horses, just want friends to hear.

[filchedfruit]

You don't have to yell for that. The um...magic in the box helps them hear you, if they've escaped the darkness.

[ The communicator confuses him too.]

Re: video

[uwaaooo]

You don't have to yell if you use this communicator.

Magic box very smart. No need for be loud.

Re: [ video ]

[uwaaooo]

Yaoh! Magic box is--

[And now Gau's just gonna stop mid-sentence and stare at Ayla on the screen, because he's never, never heard someone speak broken English like he does!]

[ video ]

[iokachief]

( she's examining the screen herself ) Hm. Ayla no recognize... What name? Maybe from Laruba?

Re: [ video ]

[uwaaooo]

[Gau tilts his head to one side, looking curious.] Gau from Veldt! Where Laruba? Never hear of.
