video.
[ A transmission will flicker on, broadcasting a blurry sight. The netbook is shaken one, two times (old habits die hard) before Lightning notices the change in the device and evens it out. Initially she doesn't know that she's actually being recorded, so the focus is set on a majestic looking chest plate. ]
... Huh. [ It then pans out a little and adjusts to show the user's face as she catches on. Pale skin, light blue-green eyes and that pink hair... might actually look sort of familiar to some. ]
Think I got it. [ She seems to say over her shoulder. ]
[And from over her shoulder comes the sound of movement, including what should by now be recognized as the snap of a netbook closing, as well as footsteps before a new face moves into the screen over Lightning's shoulder. The face is young, male, lightly tanned with a pair of sky blue eyes, topped with almost shoulder length brown hair. The face is also quite interested in the small screen.]
You're gonna have to show me how you did that sometime.
[Noel hasn't even guessed that these things can record what they're showing on screen, let alone broadcast it. Lightning almost seems to smirk before she turns to Noel and forces the netbook into his hands, making sure to have the camera facing him.]
Why don't you say "hi" first.
[No expression could speak the words "It was recording?" any clearer than Noel's expression right now as the netbook is shoved into his hands.]
Uh. [He is the most eloquent. But still the camera gets an awkward smile.] Hi.
[And then he's all business-like.] There are some people we're looking for. Hope or Yeul, or-- [He cuts himself off here and hands the netbook back to Lightning, upside-down.] Here.
[ When the device is handed back to her there's still a ghost of a smile on her face, but this time it almost seems sad. The netbook is adjusted and she continues. ]
—Sazh, Snow, Vanille and Fang.
[ There's one more name that should be included - she wants to say it, wants to hold on to what little hope she has, but she and Noel both know there will never be an answer. Her lips purse in a moment of hesitation. ]
If you know any of them, tell them Lightning and Noel are looking for them.
[ Without much pause afterward, she reaches forward and disables the recording. ]

action; return of the sad face, part ii: electric boogaloo
And so, when you defeated Caius and the timeline changed. ( He pauses, really not wanting to state the obvious now. ) She died.
action; sad face reunion all up in this thread.
She knew what might happen to her. [His voice is a bit rough, but his face is calm--if absolutely sad.] But she chose to save the future anyway...
action;
Then we make the best possible future we can make, for both Serah and the people she fought to protect.
action;
I'm sure that's probably what she would want. [Not even probably.]
action;
action;
[But he'll sigh and shift, his mostly down expression brightening a little. He didn't mean to drag himself back into those memories.]
I'll make the most of my time here.
action;
( He sighs again, rubbing his hands together. ) I have an idea, why don't you help at the clinic with Vanille and I?
( Hope not as familiar with Noel as Serah, but there are some things he pays attention too. And a time spent helping, instead of fighting... he thinks it might be a good road to take. )
action; trying so hard to not use 'hope' while tagging Hope. orz
The clinic? [He hadn't even thought that far, but it sounded like a good idea to him. He's smiling a bit more, thankfully.] Not sure how much help I'd be, beyond the basics. But it can't hurt.
[Magic can't hurt either of course. And the thought of being able to help these people? It's a good one. The people here may be mostly strangers, but no way is that getting in his way.]
action; lol given the game throws it around like it's going out of style, it's hard
( Hope laughs a bit, nodding. ) Nothing you can't be taught, our magic is helpful here too.
action;"hope Hope will believe him" made me crack up so I had to change it.
[Well! The unexpected!] So our magic works here? In that case I can probably help more than I thought.
action; oops random extra words all up in that last tag sob
That's right, I'm starting to relearn my own magic from when I was a l'Cie. Still not where I was, but I'm slowly getting there.
action; What's a few extra words between friends?
You'll let me know if there's any way I can help, right? I've never known magic any other way than this. [He has no idea if he can help, but it's worth the offer.]
action;
Frankly, I'm better at offensive and defensive magic, as well as healing.
action;
I'm not really that great at offensive magic, but defensive magic and healing I can do. And if the defensive magic means I take a hit instead of someone else, I can do that too.
action;
Heh, you sound like Snow. Just minus him being good at healing magic, he was pretty terrible if I remember right.
action;
[Hey ouch buddy. =(
He is cooler than Snow.] I didn't see much of what he could do beyond the defensive, but that wouldn't surprise me.action;
( It's okay, Noel. He means it the best way possible. ) That's right, I forget you got to meet him too.
action;
action;
action;
action;
Don’t worry; I’m sure you’ll see him again. Especially if we keep showing up in pairs like this, then you can meet Sazh properly too.
action; ahaha oh god I'm so sorry I'm late.
Has everyone showed up with someone else, like I did with Lightning? [If that means maybe Yeul will show up...]
action; don't worry about it!
Vanille and I didn't show up together, though we were only a few days apart.
