1st moon (video/action for New Bark Town)

[paladinlost]

Graaah...

[See Cecil. See Cecil stare blankly at the Pokégear. See Cleffa perched on his shoulders, nibbling on a berry.]

Where...

[The poor, confused zombie? man looks around, seeming rather lost. He does make sure to keep Cleffa stable, though.]

...Ceo.......dore?...

[And now he’s back to staring at the Pokégear. Is it merely because he found it in his pocket? Or does he somehow realize, even in his state, that he can use it to communicate?]

Aaaah...

[...Well, he’s certainly making an effort, at any rate.]

Cecil?

Re: written;

[paladinlost]

Gaaaaah?

[Stare. Stare. Stare. And then-]

.....Squ.....all?......

[Even Cleffa is staring now. Her owner just spoke! Thank you, video man, for this miracle!]

Aaaaaahhh........aaaahh?....

[Even recalling that much seems to be a big effort.]

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

[ Squall wonders if somehow, his starter hit the recorder button. It's the only way that Cecil could have actually identified him so quickly. ]



[ Making sure the video function of his pokegear is on, Squall looks at the camera and starts speaking ]

Yeah... It's me. That's you, isn't it? Right, Cecil?

ooops, didn't see that - video now i guess

[paladinlost]

[...Cecil is half moonperson. For all we know identifying people he hasn't seen in years through their handwriting is some sort of genetic power.]

Graah...!

[His hand comes up, as if he was trying to reach Squall through the screen. And maybe he is.]

.....uuuoo....

[Is it really you? It's been so long, how are you doing? Why do you look so young?

He wants to ask, but that is beyond him now. He can only hold on to a vague memory of conflict and friendship.]

video; (it's all good, we can just say Zell hit the vid function earlier)

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

[ He gives the view screen a long studious stare, watching as Cecil moves. It's... in a word, wrong, seeing his old comrade like that. The Cecil he knew moved fluidly and gracefully but his movements now were almost choppy in Squall's opinion. He didn't like it. Didn't help that--]



...You just got here, didn't you.

[ Now isn't the time for suspicion or hesitation. His wariness about the others being the real deal needed to be pushed aside. Later, he can worry about whether or not this is really Cecil. This is about helping a comrade, an ally. A... friend. ]

ACTION

[bug-type.livejournal.com]

That's about the same face I had a few hours ago, too.

Will you be all right, there?

[A normal-height man approaches, Caterpie hanging out on one of his shoulder. He seems rather calm, for having just shown up like Cecil]

Re: ACTION

[paladinlost]

[Cecil turns around to see who spoke, and... Oh, is that another shoulder monster? And one that's not pink too.]

Ummm...

[He doesn't seem quite sure he'll be alright, but he doesn't have any actual problems right now either.]

...Who...

[-are you, and do you know what'S going on?]

ACTION

[bug-type.livejournal.com]

I'm Ginko; I found myself here just now, like you.

What's your name? [Ginko is good at the crisis situation handling, yes he is. Keep people calm, caaaalm]

ACTION

[paladinlost]

Ce...cil.

[New person! New person who doesn't really know what's going on either!

New person who might have seen other people arrive.]

My...son...

[A look of worry breaks through the confusion on his face. Perhaps this Ginko person has seen Ceodore?]

[Video]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

[Hey, look, zombie-Cecil! Have another old friend who is now a lot younger than you. Only Warrior of Light isn't wearing his armor, so it might be a bit difficult to recognize him.]

... Cecil?

[It looks like Cecil, certainly, but older, and he seems stunned, more confused than simply appearing in a new world would account for.]

Re: [Video]

[paladinlost]

[That face looks familiar. Cecil's memories are fuzzy and he can't quite recall where he saw that man, but he's sure he's seen those eyes before.

Wait, he just talked to Squall, didn't he? In that case, could it be...)

....Light.....?.....

[Video]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is I. Firion is here as well, somewhere...

Are you well?

Re: [Video]

[paladinlost]

Firi...on...

[That's three people he knows! Yay!

But his face darkens when the question registers. No he's not, he hasn't been for weeks, he's been hurting people and there's something very wrong with him...]

..........

[Cleffa, bless her, can already tell when her trainer isn't well and happy. So she's the one who frowns and shakes her head.]

[video]

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

Re: [video]

[paladinlost]

[He hesitates at that. He really isn't okay, is he? But there are no enemies around, and frankly his head hurts less than it has for days. Have an uncertain nod.]

Ahh...

[He then points at the screen and forms an interrogation point with his hands. What about you, young lady? And who are you anyway?]

[video]

[magictricking.livejournal.com]

Huh? Me? [Blink.] I'm Trucy, and I'm fine! [Whoa, Apollo habit GET.]

Re: [video]

[paladinlost]

...Cecil.

[He tries to smile. He's not quite successful. Saying 'Nice to meet you' is a bit beyond him though, so it'll have to do.]

Cleffa!

[Cleffa would probably be insulted by her lack of introduction, if she wasn't already aware that there's something wrong with her new trainer. So she takes care of it herself.]

[video]

[death-dahlia.livejournal.com]

You'll have to pardon my forwardness, but I do believe we are in the same position...

Re: [video]

[paladinlost]

[Actual words are a bit too much for Cecil right now, but he mouths back 'position?' and looks around. He gestures at New Bark Town. You just woke up here too?]

[video]

[death-dahlia.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seems as if we've both been dumped here rather unceremoniously.

[video]

[paladinlost]

[More people dragged to this town against their wills. How encouraging. He sighs, points at himself, and-]

Cecil.

[Being kidnapped, not quite himself and mostly unable to speak is no reason to forget his manners.]

[video]

[monkeyflirt.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey Cecil!

[A pause, and he raises an eyebrow at the man's speech.]

Cat got your tongue?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[More Cosmos people! Yay! Geez, you're all so young, is he late to the reunion or something?]

Zi...dane...

[...What do you mean, 'Cat got your tongue'? He's talking more to you people right now than he has to his wife and kid for days.]

[video]

[monkeyflirt.livejournal.com]

[Yup. Get with the program, Cecil.]

Oh, so you remember me! Did you just get here, then?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Cecil answers by grabbing the Pokégear and pointing it at the lab. A lot of people here seems confused. Maybe that's what Zidane means by 'get here'?]
