029 [Voice/Action] Forward-dated to after the Malnosso announcement

[mountain_sage]

[In light of the upcoming draft, Saleh will once again turn to the Great Dragon. He sits on the border between the village and the forest with his head bowed and his journal in his lap. Little does he know that his journal is currently broadcasting.]

Such dire circumstances and short notice…but I will not turn away. I will have my allies: Kain, Rydia, Ceodore…Jack…

Still, I would ask for your guidance, Great Dragon, for we shall fight on the morrow.

[He falls silent, taking in his surroundings via Valega, but the journal continues to record.]

Hey, Saleh!

[Ceodore's oddly chipper about this draft, even though he should be more subdued for Frey's sake. He's happy not to be left behind again.]

[voice]

[all7seas]

Funnily enough, I'm ready for a fight right now.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

...

[He glances at the journal.]

Ceodore? You're looking chipper today.

[voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

...Jack?

[Oops, he didn't realize the journal was recording.]

Looking forward to this, are you?

[voice]

[all7seas]

[Grim-voiced response it is.]

Aye. I need to shoot something, you might say. And you're not?

[voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

I cannot say I'm looking forward to it, but it is something I must do.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Indeed--they'll drag us away whether we like it or not. But OCEAN, sage--ocean.

[voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Ah...but we'll be under the ocean rather than sailing on it.

[Pauses at the thought.]

So people can now survive underwater?

[voice]

[all7seas]

Under it, over it--I care not. It's been far too long, sage. And I suppose they only survive through the Malnosso dark magics or whathaveyou.

[voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Hmm. If it is through magic, I would hope that they apply it to us.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Dunno--it would be best if we and the rest of the Village People weren't crushed under the black depths. Though drowning's not the worst way to go, or so I'm told. I've never died that way.

[voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

As there are fates worse than death.

[Especially here in Luceti.]

[voice]

[all7seas]

Yes. There are.

[Voice]

[hallowedlight.livejournal.com]

You'll be fighting alongside Ceodore and the others? Then I wish you luck.

[Voice]

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

I made the draft list.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

We'll make it through this, I'm sure. As long as everyone looks out for each other, we'll do just fine.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Just take care out there.

Shall we stick together?

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Yes, I agree.

[He's nervous, being in his first draft and all, but he must remain confident.]

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Stick with us, alright? And if there's anything you need, just say so.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Very well, that would seem a sensible plan. Thank you.

Shall we all stick together? With Kain and Ceodore?

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you.

[Looking closely at the journal, not quite recognizing the man.]

Pardon me, but I don't believe we've spoken before...

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

We'll prevail in this.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Kain...it's good to hear from you.

I thank you for the reassurance.

[Voice]

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Yes...and I believe we'll have Selphie and Frey added to our numbers. That ought to round us out nicely, I think.

[Voice]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Count me in!
