[Presently, Cecil is pacing a steady circle along the perimeter of the barrier, as he has been doing for the past several days. He's packed provisions to last upwards of a week. In short, two of his loved ones have been taken, and in the same short span he's witnessed the wanton attack on a new friend who'd been trying to make amends with old enemies. With a mounting distaste for his fellow inmates, he's chosen the company of the outdoors. Kain, he will see that hypothermia of yours and raise you some frostbite.

When he speaks, it is in the beleaguered and restless tone generally reserved for the restless and insomniac.]

Kind sirs and madams, if I may, I wish to trouble you with but a momentary request. If a Rosa or Rydia are returned from their kidnapping directly into the village, would someone kindly note it via the journals if they aren't capable of doing so themselves? They are missed.

Certainly. Might I get a description for the two?

I thank you, kind Sir.

Rydia is probably most notable for her green hair and wings. She is as tall as an immature Chocobo, though a good three heads shorter than a fully-grown one. [Because that kind of measurement is universal to all worlds, isn't it? :D]

Rosa is the most brilliant of beauties. Her skin is the softest alabaster, her wings are of the purest white. Her hair is honey-spun gold, and her eyes are the deepest pools of blue you've ever seen. [Guess which one's his wife.]

[Yeah, ttly helpful there, Cecil. :|b Okita is going tall as a what and less than a what?]

...You're really poetic even when you're tired, hm?

[It makes sense in his head!]

I'm merely being truthful. She's the most wonderful woman to have walked on any world.

I will certainly look out for them, as well.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

It is most appreciated.

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

It's the least I can do. I know what it's like to have friends disappear on you.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

Had they been returned home, I would be joyous. Alas, they aren't quite so fortunate. [/EMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.]

Time to board the Awkward Train.

[Yes, I'm still on slowatus. But I had to. Terra similarly feels a need to be out of town--not to the extent that Cecil is, but the Kefka incident has soured her a bit on being social. After doing all she can for Celes and Edgar for the time being, she leaves them in Locke's care and heads out. There's actually a purpose to this; she doing what she promised earlier by teleporting to various barrier points to inspect them and note any changes. At some point, she teleports...almost right next to Cecil.]

CHOO CHOO

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

[He's minding his own business when Terra appears beside him, instinctively unsheathing his sword and taking a defensive step back. He eases slightly when he gets a better look at her, but not by much. Not after the murderous way she'd flown after Kefka.]

...Lady Terra.

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[Terra instinctively reaches for the hilt of her own sword upon seeing Cecil unsheathe his, but she doesn't do likewise. She eases up on that, but takes a step back, watching him. The tension -and weariness- isn't hard to miss.]

...Cecil. What are you doing here?

[Kain is currently a wreck of a man who's wandering about more like a zombie in the wilderness. It's a small place so their PATHS CROSS AT SOME POINT.]

[Cecil understands, man. He doesn't bother with a greeting, nor does he muster false cheer as he falls into step at Kain's side.] They've both been gone far too long.

[Just nods, looks down, seemingly indifferent to his presence either way. He's got this wonderful excuse not to talk and it makes withdrawing from the universe easier.]

[Voice]

[knightforgotten.livejournal.com]

Don't think I've met Rosa, if I hear about Rydia I'll let you know.

[Voice]

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

Ah, I've never introduced the two of you? It is a shame. You'll have to meet her once she returns. [A frustrated noise as his sword scratches uselessly against the barrier; he's desperate enough to go back to that old method.]

[Voice]

[knightforgotten.livejournal.com]

Think we've really only talked once...

Sure, I'm sure she'll be back before too long. [A pause, listening to that familiar sound. Barks a rueful laugh.] Doesn't work.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

You'll be the first to know.

[The frustration in Golbez's voice would be missed by anyone else, but Cecil should recognize it.]

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

How could they both be taken at once? Under our very guard, no less.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

A question I've been asking myself for over a year now.

... Ah, has it been so long?

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

Of course, Mr. Harvey.

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

You have my thanks, Lieutenant.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

This doesn't seem much like you but... I'll try to keep an ear out for them.




Would it cheer you up if I tried to destroy the town? Bring you back to your old world saving days?

[lunarborn.livejournal.com]

I...

Thank you, Valvalis. It won't be necessary, but is appreciated nonetheless. [There's a hint of mirth in his tone, though.]

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Are you sure? I'd be glad to blow up a house or two. Well, just one. You know the one.
