[Voice] Looking for Patterns

[halfdarkened]

If anyone's up for it, how about some show and tell about the nightmares? ...I'll share mine on the board if anyone's interested in sharing theirs. Maybe there's a connection.

Sounds like a curse.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Private to Riku]

Hmmm, yea that is weird.

You think that'd might work? There is that risk of sneaking past those guards though, I saw that Mayor guy really upped the security on those gates.

[Private to Woody]

I'm sure I can sneak out, still. I spent a year keeping a low profile. If I can't get past these guys, I've lost my touch.

Problem is, our supplies on the Island would be limited. I'm sure some of us could live there okay, but not all of us. Not even close.

[Pauses.] ...You know all about that.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

...Me. And all my friends I'm here with.

[Voice]

[Long Pause]

What is your task?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

[The reply comes out very shakily.]

W-we...

We hate to...

...Destroy the world...that we're from.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

[Short exhale and inhale.]

...They aren't even from your world, are they?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

I...I don't know.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Most people don't want to destroy the ground beneath their feet.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Then you've never met anyone like them. We can't destroy Cocoon without killing Orphen.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Then they're insane.

What's Orphen?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Cocoon's a planet that floats in the sky, above Pulse.

Orphen's the fal'Cie that holds it up.

[ugotafriendinme.livejournal.com]

[Gives a sigh.]

Well, alright... Still, you know, be careful.

Hrn, yea, that probably wouldn't be a good idea.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Then that means one planet would crash into another.

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

You already said they're insane.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

But it means even more lives are at stake.

Is there a time limit? How long can you stall?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

We're not sure. We all have brands that change the longer we take. If they get too far...

[Private to Woody]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

I learned a long time ago what happens when I get cocky.

[A slight pause.] Spira, though... But that's not exactly safe. Here's safer, even with the Heartless, Unversed and Lumens. ...Hm. [A longer pause.]

Besides, it'd take a long time to try to get everyone out without getting caught.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Can you tell how far along your brand is?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Uh-uh. I'd have to ask Fang.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

Has the brand changed at all while you've been in Castle Oblivion?

[Voice]

[mynamenotwhoiam.livejournal.com]

Only a little.

[Voice]

[halfdarkened.livejournal.com]

...Guess you got that.
