1st angel feather - [video]

[Once Colette leaves the bay, she decides to try the videophone just as the pamphlet suggested. She turns on the video option, prepares to speak--]

Ah--!

[--and trips over herself, the videophone flying from her hands. Naturally, this means the first bit of video will be whatever bits and pieces of surrounding the videophone catches as it falls. A few moments later, Colette's voice can be heard again.]

Oh... oh, no... I hope I didn't break it-- [She picks it up, examining it.] Ah, thank goodness. Looks like it's just fine...

[A few more moments pass before she realizes that the videophone's still recording, and she laughs sheepishly.]

Whoops! I'm very sorry about that, everyone. Anyway, it's very nice to meet you all. My name's Colette, and I'm new to this place... Genessia, right? Um... I'm really not sure what to do right now. This pamphlet told me the basics, but I'm still really confused. Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure it out! I just have to do my best, but if anyone wants to help me out that would be appreciated too. Thank you for your time, and I'm sorry if I've been any inconvenience.

[She cuts off the feed, sighing a little to herself. Truth be told, she's a lot more troubled than she let on. What happened right before she came here... was it real? No, she... she wants to believe in her friend. There's no way he would have done what she remembers, right? There's no way that's true.

...Lloyd would probably scold her if he were here right now. There's no use worrying, is there? She just has to do her best, right?

Still, it makes her so sad to think about.]

You've actually read ahead and such, so that's honestly better than a lot of the new people here.

Welcome to a strange place.

What do you mean? Doesn't everyone read the pamphlet?

Thank you, ah... I'm sorry, what's your name?

No, quite a few don't. Or refuse to believe it. Et cetera, et cetera.

My name's Pidonus. Good to meet you.

I guess it isn't the easiest thing to believe... but it's still good to know what's going on! Um... at least, I think so. I'm sorry.

It's nice to meet you too, Pidonus!

Pleased to meet you, indeed.

[Pidonus chuckles a little.]

Genessia's different, for sure, but it's far from unlivable.

Is it peaceful?

[She can only hope this place is full of the happiness that home doesn't have just yet. ...though that thought saddens her a little bit. She really shouldn't be here at all...]

Define 'Peaceful'. It's not a constant horrible war or anything, but there are definitely villains.

Are you sure they're villains? Maybe they just need friends.

[Sheena and Regal had been enemies of her group at first, after all!]

There's a certain level of insane where that doesn't really work out. Just saying.

...do you really think so?

[She doesn't really want to agree with that. Even with Yggdra--Mithos, and all he's done, she doesn't want to believe that...]

There are some kinds of evil so terrible as to be beyond sentience. Where the being ceases to have choice, and only has a vicious, insane nature to guide it.

...that's horrible. Those poor beings...

[Colette, please.]

... Most demons would laugh at you for pitying them, before proceeding to inflict as much pain on you as possible before killing you.

I... I don't want to hurt anyone, but I'm more than capable of defending myself if I need to. Thank you for your concern, though!

On the bright side, most of the villains here are at least kinda sane. Though don't get on their bad side.

I'll make sure I don't! I don't want to be any trouble to anyone.

Generally a wise path...

[A light chuckle comes from Pidonus' voice.]

Of course, there's other things - more practical - to be concerned with here.

Oh, don't apologize! I trip all the time. And don't worry, you'll get used to Genessia pretty soon...um, but if you need someone to show you around I'd be glad to help!

My name's Jeb, by the way. It's nice to meet you!

Oh... I'm sorry.

Ah, yes! I would be happy to be shown around if you're willing to do that for me! But if it's not convenient, please don't trouble yourself. I don't want to be a bother!

It's nice to meet you too, Jeb.

No, it's convenient! Please don't apologize so much...it's really no big deal, I promise!

Okay, then. ...I'm sorry.

[Typical Colette.]

If I tell you where I am, will you be able to meet me?

Sure! [He almost tells her not to apologize again, but let's be real, this is Jeb. He'd be doing the same thing in her shoes. Actually, he already does it without being in her shoes.]

[She quickly gives him her location.]

I'll be waiting, then. ...um, but please take your time, okay? There's no need to rush!

Thanks! And I won't take too long, it'd be mean of me to keep you waiting!

Don't worry, I'll be patient!

I'm here! Sorry if I kept you waiting. [He came quickly enough, but a new person, lost, he doesn't want to keep them hanging around too long. It's a Jeb thing.]

Oh, not at all! Don't worry, you really didn't keep me waiting. [She'll begin to approach Jeb and--welp, she's tripped again.] Ah-!

Are you all right?! [He rushes over to help her up] Careful, you don't want to get hurt!

Oh, don't worry! I'm just fine. [She smiles as Jeb helps her up.] Thank you for helping, and I'm sorry that I made you worry. Don't worry, I'll try to be more careful!

[Except being clumsy is one of her specialties. That might be easier said than done...]

Don't apologize! Just don't get hurt, okay? [And he understands. He can be pretty clumsy sometimes himself!]

Nice to meet you Colette, I'm Hikari.

[Hikari smiled slightly. She at least knows of a way to help.]

I believe there was something that opened up recently that might help you figure things out and help you get settled.

Edited 2015-01-31 11:45 (UTC)

It's nice to meet you too, Hikari!

Oh, really? That would be a big help! Please, could you tell me more about it?

I don't know much about it, I just know it's a place that should hopefully give you the information you need.

[She was pretty sure that was the purpose of it anyway.]

Oh, okay. Thank you very much, Hikari!

You are very welcome. If you still have questions or anything, I'm always here to help.

I'll be sure to ask you if I have any, then. I mean, as long as I'm not interrupting anything.

I'm not doing much, so you wouldn't be interrupting anything at all.

Oh, okay! I'll keep that in mind.

[Oh wow this girl reminded her of the Pelor clerics she used to bum free heals from, too nice for her own good. It was that desire to 'pay them forward' that made Adeline speak up]

Yo, ya check that projector near the info stand? Should have enough for that. Can't help ya much more than that; just got here myself, yannow?

Projector? Ah... no, I haven't. But I will, now that you've told me about it! Thank you so much!

Eh? Ah, no probs. Could do a load's better on the whole explainin' thing than I could, otherwise wouldn't be there, yeah?

Oh, no! Even if the information you've given me is small, it's still so very helpful! I really appreciate it.

Shit you really are a Pelorite... Uhhh...it's no problem, what's-yer-face. Glad ta help...?

[The most awkward street monk!]

Oh, I'm Colette! Colette Brunel. Sorry for not saying that sooner. [Except you did, Colette. You dork.] Um, if you don't mind me asking, what's a Pelorite...?

You...already did though. [Adeline cannot handle such a nice person! Its too much!]

Pelor-shit, you heard that? Uh, well, they're...people who ain't dicks, really. [Which, from the tone of her voice, is truly bizarre in the woman's experience]

Did I? Ah, I'm sorry!

Was I not supposed to? I'm sorry, but my hearing is really, really good. I didn't mean to pick up on something I wasn't supposed to hear. [...] Is "Pelorite" a compliment, then?

[For once, Zelos didn't have a date to prepare for on his day off. In fact, he was just lazing around in his room, when he heard a very familiar voice come over the communicator.

All the colour drained out of his face in an instant.

Fuck.

He'd gone over six months now without anyone from back home being brought into Genessia. That made his attempts to hide who and what he was extremely easy, for the most part, and frankly? He was more than happy to keep things that way. Not to mention...in his last moments, he'd proved himself a worthless traitor. Who knows how they'd react to him here?

Colette...his fellow Chosen. She had to be one of the last people he wanted to see. The last time he saw her, he'd just handed her over to Cruxis. She hadn't been one of the ones who'd had a hand in killing him, but in some ways that made this whole thing worse. He couldn't just be hostile to her like all the others.

Plus...whilst only Ishtar knew about his status as Chosen of Tethe'alla, if she started talking about the worlds they came from, about her Cruxis Crystal -- or worse still if she started talking about him and the others -- soon people would start to realise he'd been lying to them.

He'd sooner deal with Mithos than this.

For now, Zelos just stared at the communicator as she gave the warm, friendly introduction she always did, nausea rising up in his throat. This just couldn't be happening, could it?

Before she could finish, he slammed the communicator shut without a word.]
