[Video]

[This video starts up in a tree; there are a couple branches in the way and some ridiculously pale person with blond J-pop hair pacing around in a circle. He does this for a moment before squinting up at the camera.]

...what are you?

[He disappears from view, then the camera shakes violently following a dull THUD.]

Ow. That hurt.

[There's another thud and the camera shakes again before the journal topples out of the tree and onto the ground. It doesn't stay there for long; it's lifted and shaken out, and Cloud's face is captured for a moment until the camera settles on his chin instead.]

...when did I buy this thing? [And the book snaps shut.]

[Figuring out how to work this thing is only SLIGHTLY less difficult than driving a submarine, and 100% less traumatic. Hey there Yuri.]

Not one that talks, no.

[... Definitely doesn't remember. ... Well, maybe that's for the best anyway.

... Maybe he can have a little fun with this, too. Hmm.]

No? ... Huh. Guess that means you're new here. [... In the sense that This Cloud is new here, at least.]

Well then, welcome to Luceti, Cloud. Get used to the place, 'cause you're gonna be here for a while.

Wh-

How do you know my name?!

Huh? [Oh, whoops. That just sort of slipped out-- ... wait. Maybe ... Yes. This will do |D] Oh, right, I guess you wouldn't know ...

[You're a complete jerk, Yuri.

Now Cloud is frantically searching his memory for the face and the voice but he's drawing way too many blanks to trust it. Oh God. IT'S COMPLETELY FEASIBLE THAT THIS GUY LEGITIMATELY KNOWS HIM.

God willing he didn't like...bunk with him in the Shinra army. That would be uncomfortable.]

Wouldn't know what?

[If only he knew the damage he was doing.

He'd be so proud.]

I'm not so sure if telling you is a good idea.

[NO WAY MAN HE'S DONE WITH THAT FUNNY BUSINESS]

I'm pretty sure it's a better idea than not telling me.

Nah, it'd probably make things awkward.

You're makin' things pretty awkward right now.

[His mood is going to awkward itself right into a temper tantrum if you don't tell him you TROLL.]

Well then, no need to make it worse!

[Troll, what troll, who's a troll, he's just trying to ~~troll~~ make things less awkward, that's all. You're just being silly.]

[UGH. Fine. He gives up. For now.]

Right, whatever.

What are you talking about, I'm going to be here a while? Where the hell is "here" anyway?

[... Aww, he thought he could drag it out longer than that. ... Well, whatever. Might as well be somewhat useful to the guy. He is a member of Brave Vesperia after all -- no need to make the guild look bad because he felt like being a jerk.]

"Here" is Luceti. And because of the barrier around this place, as well as some other complicated things, you and the rest of us here are stuck in this place until it decides to send us back.

There's a barrier keeping us in?

[...that's weird. Usually barriers are for keeping people OUT of places, like where they need to go to kick ass and take names.]

Yeah. [That doesn't bug him too much, since it's similar to how barriers work back home for him (sans the "you can't leave" bit, but no one ever really DID so), so he sounds like it's not really that big of a deal.] And nothing you throw at it will ever do much of anything to it, so don't bother.

Well I'm not going to bash my head against it, if that's what you're saying.

[That would just be stupid. He needs a GIANT RAY GUN to do any kind of damage. He will borrow Reeve's.]

So, since you know all this other stuff do you know where my things are? Or do you guys get your rocks off robbing people and leaving them in the woods?

[Oh.

Oh wait.

Excuse me.

Excuse me SIR did you just imply what he thinks you just implied.]

... You know, I was going to tell you, but after that, I'm not so sure I want to bother anymore.

Oh what, like you were going to tell me the other thing except it was kinda awkward? Right, sure. You probably don't even know.

[Even though he doesn't really know what they are--]

Just for that, I think I'll go ahead and pick up your things for you.

... And keep them.

No you don't you son of a bitch! Don't you dare!

[ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE]

[SMIIIIIIIIRK]

Well, if you can get to them before me, you don't have anything to worry about, right?

Edited 2010-11-05 03:03 (UTC)

I don't even know where I am!

I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. Either that or you could just pick a direction and hope it's right. Not really my problem, either way. [Because he's sure someone will give you directions and is therefore not worried about Cloud getting lost at all.]

Later, Cloud. [STARTING TO CLOSE JOURNAL ...]

Ahh!

No! Don't! Come back, don't you dare steal my things!

[Cloud you are making this way too fun for him, you realize that? Well, just before closing it completely, he'll be somewhat merciful--]

... Follow the river, and you'll eventually hit town. Wander through enough stores, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. [smirk] If I don't get to it first, anyway.

[And closed. He'll probably go off and wait near the shopping area, just to see if Cloud ends up running around in a panicked frenzy to look for his things, too. And of course, he won't be taking anything, mostly by merit of he-has-no-idea-what-to-look-for, but Cloud doesn't need to know that.]
