[After getting a moogle to show him the different functions of the communicator, Zuko has learned about filters. So, when he makes this broadcast, he makes sure to hide it from Aang. He knows the monk won't approve of what he's about to say, but he's not about to just let it go unsaid. The goody-goody Airbender with his goody-goody ideals might let other people kick him around and forgive them, but Zuko is different. Not reacting is as good as letting them get away with it, in his eyes.]

I'm looking for someone. Maybe one of you can help me out. Tall guy, silver hair, thinks fighting is his idea of fun? He was at Destiny Islands a few days ago and attacked my friend. If you know where to find him, tell me.

[His hands curl into fists, and he sticks his face closer to the camera.]

If you're listening to this, you better hope I don't catch you. No one attacks my friends and gets away with it, got it?

[...Disregarding all the times Zuko has attacked Aang, anyway. After scowling at the camera for a few seconds longer, the teenager grabs the communicator and the feed ends.]

[ The communicator comes alive after a few experimental button touches. ]

Hello? [ In the background, someone - probably one of the moogles - is coaching Katara on the proper use of the communicator. After a word of thanks, she turns her attention to the communicator again. ]

This is Katara, of the Southern Water Tribe. I'm looking for some friends of mine - and my brother. I know you're out there - you have to be. Sokka? Aang? Toph - Zuko, Suki? If anyone of you can hear me ...

Please answer me - I need to know you're all okay, and safe. Where are you?

[ She holds her breath for a few seconds, and then exhales a strand of brown hair out of her tanned face. ]

This ... thing [ "Communicator, Kupo!" whispers a moogle nearby. She waves it away. ] communicator can get a hold of of someone in the town, right? If anyone has spoken to any of those people, please let me know - or tell me where they are so I can find them.

[ ooc Pff what is patience. :D I was going to wait till tomorrow but! ]

[When the feed clicks on, the device is being held by a tall woman, her dark hair pulled back from her face and dress obviously that of a warrior. Her face is stony as she speaks into the video screen, either already used to such a device or - more likely - simply not caring how it works as long as it produces the result the small furred creature said it would.]

My name is Sif. I am a resident of Asgard, one of its defenders against the forces of the cold and dark. I seek news of my companions, known as the Warriors Three - Fandral, Volstagg, and Hogun. They should be unmistakeable if they are here.

[She pauses briefly, and then continues.]

I am also searching for Thor, son of Odin. If you have news of any of these people, then it would be of great service to myself and our realms if you would relate it to me over this device. I shall begin searching on my own, but I will not refuse help sincerely offered. Thank you.

[And with a short nod of her head that manages to look more like a bow, she turns the device off.]

So that's it. My entire world... gone. My country, my people, everyone...

[A teenager in red and gold clothing slumps dejectedly onto the steps in Traverse Town's first district. A moogle carrying the communicator is hovering beside him.]

I'm sorry, kupo. For now, you'll have to make a new life here!

[Zuko looks up, showing his mismatched eyes; one side of his face is covered with a burn scar. His anger flares as his gaze fixes a little above the camera onto the moogle.] I didn't want a new life! How many times do I have to lose everything?!

[He moves to stand abruptly. Bad decision; the still-fresh wound in his midriff jolts and he has to sit back down, gritting his teeth in pain. The moogle flutters beside him, worried.]

Are you okay, kupo?!

...Yeah. [Zuko runs a hand through his hair, obviously agitated.] Sorry. Getting mad at you won't fix anything. [He accepts the proferred phone from the moogle and looks at it with a blank expression.] What are you giving me?

It's a communicator! Maybe you can contact your friends with it!

How--? [He's curious, even in spite of his situation. He presses a button experimentally-- and the feed ends.]

Aki?  Takeba?  Souji-banchou?  You guys still around?

Look, I may not have a lot of patience for anybody, but at least back home I knew my way around town.  Never needed anybody to keep myself from going crazy with boredom.
[identity profile] ramendate.livejournal.com
[At first, not much can be seen through the flame and thick, black smoke that have filled the bedroom that's being broadcast over video. There is no sound other than the crackle and snap of burning wood for a few moments, until a hoarse voice starts calling out. Akihiko appears onscreen, his face smeared with soot as he calls a name over and over, occasionally inhaling more of the smoke than intended and coughing harshly.]

Miki! Hold on, I'm coming! Miki!

[He raises an arm to cover his eyes as he pushes through burning debris, stopping short when he reaches the bed at the center of the room, its once-pink bedspread being licked at by eager flames. He falls to his knees without notice, and though the rest of her body is hidden by the bed itself, feet belonging to a small girl poke out past the end -- her slippers are burnt and melted almost beyond recognition, which doesn't bode well for the rest of her person. Akihiko clutches at his chest, wheezing slightly as he inhales more smoke, his face having gone white.]

Miki... no... I was too late...

Too late. You're always too late. Miki deserved better. She always called you her hero, but you're not strong enough to help anyone, are you?

[He freezes, breathing heavily before looking over his shoulder, just in time to see a tall, slender figure in a burgundy overcoat and black knit hat join him. Akihiko slowly rises to his feet, and there are faint tracks left on his face where tears cut through the soot.]

Shinji...

[The figure turns so that the camera can catch a better glimpse of him, and while it indeed appears to be Shinjiro, the front of his coat is stained with blood, as are the corners of his mouth and his chin, a gaping gunshot wound displayed on his chest, still bleeding sluggishly.]

Face it. You couldn't help anyone then, and you can't do it now. You've been working your ass off for years, wasting all that time training. Never did anyone any good, did it? You're still weak. Couldn't save Miki. Couldn't save me. You should've been there sooner that night. Just like you should've gotten to Miki sooner than you did. You knew where I was goin'. Knew what might happen. You let me die, just like you let your sister die. You're not a hero. You're a weakling. You're cursed. Can't protect the people you love.

[Akihiko stares at the open wound, horrified.]

I could have stopped it... I should have been there sooner, I should have known...

'Should' ain't gonna help anyone now, Aki. I blame you for what happened.

[The silver-haired young man looks stunned, before his expression goes utterly slack.]

It was my fault. Your death, and Miki's. My fault.

( there's nothing on the screen at first, but there are definitely some strange sounds transmitting here. some... slobbery and grating sounds. like... someone's trying to bite it. suddenly, the picture comes in, and yep, you can definitely see the view of some teeth as the camera's finally extracted from her mouth... and is now revealing ayla's upside down face ) What mean? Not food? Why give Ayla this, then? ( she's scrunching up her eyebrows as she turns the communicator over and over in her hands, examining it )

It's to help you stay in touch, kupo! Maybe you'll be able to find your friends!

Huh? ( have a close up of her eye now, star kingdom. she's looking directly at it, her eye moving from right to left ) Ayla no see them. Helloooooo? ( and now she's shaking it. a little violently )

Afternoon, fellow stranded people! You're in luck, because I, Aino Minako, am offering my services to those that need it!

And what do I do, you may ask? Well, if it isn't obvious, I give advice on love and dating! I'm not called the Goddess of Love for nothing!

Are you an attractive male with too many women flocking to you and want them away from you? Or are you the geeky man who wants to tell his true love how he feels? Ladies, do you yearn for that truly precious person to love and cherish?

Now now, I know all of you have burning questions, so please, don't hesitate to ask!
[identity profile] innerflow.livejournal.com
[Ami, untransformed for this, smiles softly at the video feed. Her voice is calm, and she seems to be ready to take notes; she has a pen and paper in hand.]

I have a few more questions, please.

I wondered whether there was a registry or list of people who've arrived in Traverse Town. [This one's for you, Magus.]

Also, whether the discrepancies in timelines between people of the same world have been investigated or researched.

[Filtered to the Senshi | Unhackable]

Hades has asked me to return Triton's trident, which he says belongs to Neptune. I don't like to say it, but I don't trust him, especially after the nightmares.

I'd like us to go to Atlantica to investigate the situation to be sure, but I wanted to speak with everyone about it.

Come on, you never took one, kupo! Just take it already, we have to give them to everyone!

But I don't need-

[The feed is cut off for a moment as the communicator is shoved into her hands, buttons randomly being pressed and fritzing the thing out. When it comes back a couple of minutes later, it shows the moogle giving what looks like the tail-end of a severe lecture.]

-just going to make it break, kupo! So take care of this, these aren't easy to make, you know!

[He then flies off, presumably to distribute more of the things to the electricity-challenged population, revealing the rather shocked face of a young woman with short black hair looking after him. Based on the mountains and plain in the distance, anyone who knows the world will be able to identify the Land of Dragons.]

...But I didn't ask for this... What am I even supposed to do with it? I've never seen anything like this before.

[Mulan glances down, locking eyes with the screen, and then starts shaking her head.]

Today hasn't been going like I thought it would.

[It's a pretty good day back at Guardia. Lucca is herding cats.

Yes, herding cats. Crono's cats, to be precise. All god-dammit-crono-how-many-of-these-things-do-you-need? of them. They've escaped, and Lucca's taking it upon herself to lead them back home as proof of her good character in case she ever gets arrested (it's less 'if' and more 'when'). But suddenly, the ground opens up beneath her feet and the cats scatter.]


Oh, for-! Have you any idea how long it's gonna take me to find them a- wait what?

[The crack widens, glowing bright red, and the earth trembles as something rises from the ground beneath her feet.]

No way. No way! We fixed this! And- even if we screwed up, we still have a thousand years-

[The crack's still widenning. She takes her gun, aiming it at the thing that's rising from the ground below and pulling the trigger, but it's suddenly a water pistol. Not even the cool kind, the kind you might get at a discount store.]

...want to screw me over any more today, world?

[Apparently it does. Because apparently she forgot to wear pants to this dream. Star Kingdom, meet Lucca's boyshorts, printed with a a character legally distinct from wonder woman from a popular Guardian comic book.]

[If Frog hadn't been from the Middle Ages and a little more tech savvy, he might've filtered this. As it stands, he has no idea a filter function even exists, much less how to take advantage of it. So, the whole network is treated to a less than happy Frog, making a broadcast directed at a certain lord of the dead.]

Hades, I wish to speak with you. These accursed ducks that have been wreaking havoc... There is more than enough evidence to suggest they are your work.

[Pause. Frog croaks and rests his hand on his sword, and looks displeased as much as, well, a frog can.]

If they are indeed your doing, our agreement is at an end. I'll not abide such dishonourable trickery unto others, whether you be mortal or immortal.

Can someone help me with something?

I was originally going to get help with training, but they have appeared to have gone. So I was wondering can someone please teach me? Maybe self defence or at least some sort of better skill in my sword work.
[identity profile] heartchoker.livejournal.com
-and this is your communicator, kupo! [Clearly demonstrating it's sentence, the moogle brings it to life with a video, showing a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, looking at it with utter disbelief. She's currently kneeling on the cobblestones at its height, and it seems every word has led her to look all the more stunned.]

Thanks, but... I don't think... I just... it's all too much to take in, right now. I just can't be here, can I?

[The moogle gives a little sigh.] That's what happened, kupo. Sometimes it's sudden. Still, kupo, have to make the most of it! Are you ready for the tour?

[The device is then ushered into Yukari's hand, who hasn't yet notice it's recording, as she stares down at it, still bemused, before saying quietly,] Right after all we did... was it all for nothing?

This place has Shadows too, hunh? Or something close enough to em. Thought I'd finally gotten away from that shit. You'd figure after the Fall, the end of the world, whatever the Hell it is that happened, the worthless debris could at leats be left in peace. Figures.

If you take my advice, the best thing to do is just sleep through it all. Don't go out at night. Don't go looking for trouble. If it finds you, run like Hell. I haven't seen any cases of Apathy Syndrome here, and without that there just ain't a good enough reason to stick your neck out. And if you don't take my advice, well, take it from me: kids who play with guns get shot, kids who play with stoves get burned. Don't be expecting me to show up and save your ass if you don't know enough to keep away from a hot burner. And don't complain to me about it either. Got that?

 [ The video blips on centered around the bust of a young man with dusty gray hair and solid slate gray eyes. Judging from the background he's his back is against a brick wall. He looks like he's scowling a little but it's so subtle it's difficult to read the expression on his face. He is staring hard into the camera for several moments, motionless, silent. ]

...

I thought I was swallowed up in darkness, but I'm suddenly here.

[ The camera pans to the left smoothly--this young man isn't against a brick wall but sitting and leaning against a chimney. The starlit night carpets the background with the rooftops and buildings of the recognizable First District of Traverse Town poking into the dark canvas and the feed focuses on a moogle waddling away. It comes to the edge of the roof, turns and faces the camera, waves, then jumps off. Its little wings spread open as it descends but the camera pans back to the young man. ]

...

Is it true? My world is gone?

[ He winces a small smile and looks away. He sighs quietly. ]

...

Ah.

[ He looks back into the camera. ]

My name is Souji Seta. Nice to meet you.

[ The feed of the phone clicks on mid-sentence, and Rise is looking off to the side, talking to someone -- or something. ] --like a cell phone?

'That's right, kupo!'

[ Rise glances down at the screen and smiles, giving a small wave with her free hand. ] Hi everyone! The cute fuzzy thing--[ The moogle protests that he is called a moogle. ] said that this Communicator was connected to everyone that's here. [ A sl ight pause, and Rise glances to the side, suddenly worried. ] But I'm not really sure where 'here' is.

He said I was in Traverse Town, and that my world was eaten by the Darkness.. Is that really true? [ There's another short pause, and Rise shakes her head, snapping out of whatever funk she had been in. ] Anyway, my name is Rise! Rise Kujikawa! He also said that some of my friends might be here, so.. if you are, tell me so I can come find you!

( the picture clicks on, revealing a sort of wild looking woman, grinning. her hair is blowing in the breeze, it looks like she might be traveling at a pretty good speed, somehow ) Whooo-ee~! Now that was a bit'uv a rush if I do say, myself. Hardly even heard those little bugger's comin'. What sort of enemies were those, anyway? Thought they got me but then... I woke up here in one piece, so maybe Lady Luck hasn't turned her back on me yet.

Vanille? ( she frowns ) You better have gotten here safe, too... I'll find ya.

Everyone else -- how's about the inside scoop on this place? Doesn't even look like Cocoon t'me... an' definitely not any place on Gran Pulse.
