...I guess I could do a better job of keeping up with this thing, huh? Sorry about that.

Anyway, have I missed a lot? How is everyone?

Oh, and I'm still looking for my friend Penelo. River (I think that was her name...) said she was here, and I thought I got a message from her a while ago, but I can't really tell.

[the transmission begins with the repetitive sound of slow footfalls; they stop after a moment, and there's a small sigh]

Not an airship in sight, huh?... Weird.

Hey, can anyone hear me? Penelo? Migelo? Anyone?

[there's a pause]

...Great. Anyway, my name's Vaan. I'm a little, uh, lost I guess... Can anyone hear this? Could someone respond?

see something wrong? hate the way i play vaan, love him, think he's missing something? let me know! i appreciate any and all crit i get in response to characters. anon commenting is on, IP logging is off, and all comments are screened. let me know guys! ♥

HELLO! if you're a member of discedo, remove this journal please! it'll now be used for another game

thanks a bunch dudes ;3

uh AT, please disregard any previous entries :D

This is about the strangest thing I've ever seen. New people, doubles...

I guess it'd be repetitive to ask what's going on.

That's the third time. Hey, this shocking thing is getting pretty old. It doesn't make me particularly want to update or anything, I don't like being used for someone's entertainment. ;;;

Besides, there isn't a lot to say, really. Supply runs, loud noises, rain, it's all been covered by everyone else. That was definitely a big storm the other night though, huh? Even in the Giza Plains they didn't get that bad.

Jeez, I wouldn't mind seeing the sun again though. It gets pretty cold with all this rain.

Where is everyone lately, by the way? Ashe, Penelo, Fran Balthier? I hope everyone's okay.

Ouch! Jeez, I get it, I'll update! That's the second time, y'know. I've been sort of busy with supply runs and lookout duty, I guess.

I don't think I've ever been in a mud fight before.

Still, that was pretty fun. Looks like some people are still outside, though...how long is this gonna go on? ;;; The rain hasn't stopped either. Well, it's nice to be clean at least, huh? I guess there's a wet season in this world too? I haven't seen so much rain all at once since we left the Giza Plains. It's sort of a nice change though...for now, at least.

Basch is here now, and... Um. I heard Al-Cid was too? Ivalice is a popular place to grab people from here, I guess. Well, aside from that it seems like there are a lot of new people. Hi everyone, my name's Vaan.

( Locked to Self//Hackable )

I don't think I'll be using magicks for a while. ...A long while. If I never have to use a mist attack again it'll be too soon.

But we did it. I think.

Penelo, Ashe, Larsa...how are you guys?

Well, things have calmed down a little. I mean...just a little, but it really makes a difference. I'm glad no one was seriously injured though. Hey, but if someone needs some help fighting or magick-wise, let me know, okay? I'd be glad to lend a hand. For now, everyone's at the apartments and safe, which is about all I can ask for.

I was supposed to be taking on a student, sort of, but there's not a lot to teach about pirating in a place like this. I have a feeling Balthier did that out of laziness. Well, that's your first lesson, then, huh?

Oh, he's not all that bad though. I mean sure, he puts on that "feared rogue of the skies" persona or whatever, but he's actually sa--

*a strange noise halfway between a word and a squeak*

.........

*distinct sound of annoyed finger-tapping-on-device*

(transcribed)
...Does anyone have some echo herbs? Or, uh. Something. ;;;

You jerk. >\

((ooc: by student he means that balthier shunted prydain's pirate training off on him xD also balthy cast silence on him mid-post. just to clarify :P YES I KNOW I'M HAVING TOO MUCH FUN WITH STATUS AILMENTS SORRY))

...If anyone hasn't heard it yet, er. I'm really not Captain Basch. I got Confused pretty badly, apparently... I've never been very good with Arcane Magicks anyway. Won't happen again. ;;;;;;;;

Well, I think I have it under control now. Penelo, er...thanks. For looking after me I mean.

Apparently someone's been saying that sky pirates aren't real? I don't know what that's about, but they're wrong. There are lots of sky pirates in Ivalice, and the term applies to Balthier, Fran and me. ...And maybe Penelo.

This is pretty easy. And seems kind of pointless. But it's fun at least. I bet notoriety's up pretty well, so...

Well, one more, I guess.

Hey! I'm capt- ...Huh? Hey! What- Oof!

*noises of scuffling and a heavy thud, followed by a few moments of silence and then a groan*

Ouch...what the-? Wasn't I just- . . . . . Oh.

......Oh. That was...oh, jeez. Status effects work here, too? Um. Uh. I'm not...I mean. .....Sorryeveryone.

Well, that was embarassing. Like a lot.

Huh. I didn't know there were moogles in the Lhusu Mines!

*pause* Well...I think they were moogles, but...

Oh! Hey! What'm I standing around here for, huh? I'd better get going if I'm ever gonna get that Marquis's attention, right?

*sound of footsteps slowly fading away; the recording times out after a while*

((OOC: vaan was trying to fight off some of the killer bunnies with his magic and it backfired on him; he has been inflicted with the status ailment, confuse. he thinks he's back in bhujerba AND YES, he will be going around saying; "i'm captain basch fon ronsenburg of dalmasca!" and things of that effect to various people, such as at 2:12 of this video. this'll last a good amount of the day until he unceremoniously has the confusion beaten out of him by a random enemy later this evening. feel free to mention it ;3 DON'T LISTEN TO ONDORE'S LIES!!))

So apparently these things shock you if you don't use them enough... I guess it should be incentive to use it more, but I always forget about stuff like this. Anyway, it seems as though Ashe really is here, and now Penelo too. Which of course has Balthier in a rage about the Strahl, but I really am glad to see her again. Hey, she's not the only one allowed to be worried when either of us is on our own. I bet Migelo's pretty worried with both of us gone...or he's ready to tan our hides. It's kind of the same thing with him.

I've been trying to figure out why my magic doesn't work - I mean, people have mentioned it, but not why. Of course, I don't use magic a whole lot to begin with, but it wouldn't hurt to have some extra power, y'know? Maybe my license points are just messed up, but I can't rearrange them so that I can use magic again. it's pretty weird.

Well, in all I think I'm just updating to keep this thing from shocking me again, because that hurt. Otherwise there's not a whole lot to say.

Let's see. Somewhere along the way of figuring out where the apartments are I lost this...thing. Communicator? Well, whatever it is, I misplaced it for a while. But I found it a little while ago while I was checking out the area.

Mostly I've been trying to find a way out. Unsuccessful, but I probably should have figured that, otherwise no one'd be here.

So I guess I've missed a lot, huh? Anything I should know about? Oh, and, Lyra -- still want to go exploring sometime? I'd like to find out a bit more about this place!

EDIT: ........Princess Queen Ashe!?

"Use this," huh? Oh yeah, that's helpful. ...No, actually it's not. What am I supposed to use it for? Communication or something? I haven't seen anyone yet except those dog-things...

...Huh. Well, I know I'm definitely not in Rabanastre. I get the feeling I'm not even in Ivalice anymore, but in that case, what is this place? I was just with Penelo a little while ago too, before I ended up here. She's not here, is she? Average height, blonde braids...?

Hello? Anyone out there?
