[Because he's curious about something, he decides to remedy not using the SFC much as it's been some time since his arrival. Opening the SFC and having his face in full display while he's sitting on the couch of his apartment, people will see a young man about in his early twenties who has the same appearance as a certain other young man in town. However, this man has a completely different voice from the other whom people have heard over the network.]

Well the bubble as many of you call it as been quite fun for the time I've been here, so much has been going on I unfortunately haven't been able to keep up with it at times. To think a town such as this would be so full of excitement, I never once thought of it that way upon my arrival. [Though now he's curious about something, so he'll switch topics.] Though my musings of the town aren't exactly what I wished to talk about, it's more I'm interested in weaponry. I've been doing some reading in the library and have learned of a weapon called a pistol, I wish to learn how to use one. If there are any experts on this type of weaponry, I'd be more than happy to speak with you and we can begin lessons right away if you wish.

Oh and one more thing, I'm also interested in wine collecting. Would anyone have spare wine bottles that I could obtain or even possibly help me to find some wine cabinets? My collection is getting a bit large, so I'm attempting to find cabinets to store them in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Coleeeette~

[What's that, Vatheon? You're not all of you named "Colette"? Whoops, someone must have completely failed to make a private call. Someone dressed up in a well-tailored suit completely different from what he normally wears.]

Colette, are you aw-ake? There's fisssh in the sky! It'sh like tha stars are fishes!

[The view swoops dizzily as Lloyd holds the SFC up to get a good view of the Vatheon "sky." In doing so, he offers a view of where exactly he is. Is he... on a roof? Yes, yes he is. He doesn't seem to see anything odd with this, though, or if he does, he doesn't seem to care. Pulling the SFC back to look in the camera, he grins as he continues to slur his words.]

Hah! Starfisshes! Tha stars are shtar... starfishes now! I got a star in my hands! Colette, you gotta shee this! Coleeeeette~!


[OOC: Backdated to after Angelo gets Lloyd drunk during this.

Anyone wanting to do an action post is also welcome to do that, if they happen to look up and see a drunken idiot standing on the casino roof.]

[The feed comes on with Lloyd looking off to the side, talking to someone off screen.]

-sure wish I could have turned homework in like this back home! Then even if I waited until the last minute I could still-

Oh, hey, it's on.

[Lloyd looks into the camera, looking incredibly pleased with himself.]

Professor, we did it! We got our homework done! And we're even getting it in early.

[Before the original two week deadline, in fact! Are they trying to give Raine a heart attack?

He doesn't seem to realize that this isn't locked to Raine at all, that everyone can see this.]

Here, you can read it now. I wrote the stuff in blue, and Luke did the stuff in black.

[That said, he turns the starfish around so that the view takes in a table with five pieces of paper on it.]

( Cut for large image and horrible handwriting. And spelling. And grammar. And... )


[OOC: Replies may come from either Luke and/or Lloyd. o/ Context for those interested.]

[Vatheon's most desirable red-head seems to be in top form today, settled back in a well stuffed armchair and dressed to impress. There's flowers in frame behind him, roses as always, and a smirky grin plastered on his face. Someone is planning something...]

There's a problem in this town, Vatheon. So many lonely hunnies, just wanting someone to talk to, to share some companionship with - and I know what you've all heard about me but I really do mean companionship here, not the other thing (so Ky don't jump down my throat). I heard tell that there used to be a host club here in Vatheon and I think it's high time it was revived! So here's an open call for any interested parties who want to provide a vital service to the community ♥

We'll be holding open interviews and auditions for the next two weeks in the ballroom of the casino. We'll be looking at all your talents as well as general amiability and charisma, so bring your A-game~

[Filtered to Peony, Guy, Ioder, and Duke]
Guy your presence is mandatory! I'll hunt you down and drag you there myself if I have to~

Everyone else, I'd appreciate the help. Ioder and Duke, you need to get out more and Peony I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy a gig like this. If you could drag that smart-face friend of yours that'd be great too. At the very least he'll be an asset in the organizational department but without his glasses.. well damn.

So I'll see you all at the casino within the next couple hours!

[With a capricious wink Zelos shuts off the feed to go get ready.]

[ Mithos obviously isn't in a good mood. What happened a few days prior really isn't helping with his mood. Nope... not one bit. ]

I have a question.

[ Mithos asks. He's been... thinking, for a while. Everything here is so different. Lloyd didn't attack him at first. Colette and Raine have been nothing if not kind to him. Kratos still seems loyal, despite all that's happened. Dhaos told him he was going to die. He found out Martel could be saved without ever using the Journey of Regeneration. Humans here were... nice. And then there's Sophie, Anise, and Cheria... ]

If something... hasn't changed in several thousand years... how do you make it change without forcing it?

[ Mithos still doesn't accept that he was wrong. But... a certain someone convinced him to find out. Or at least, attempt to. ]

[ When the SFC turns on Raine doesn't look comfortable. At all. She seems to be struggling with something. Namely the fact that she doesn't have legs anymore but an orange mermaid tail and a pair of shells as a top to boot.

For a moment, she doesn't look too sure whether she wants to say anything before she finally clear her throats. ]

I seems that I've been caught up in what has currently been going around. Would... someone be kind enough to help me?

[ She's fully aware what she's asking. But it's not that she had much of a choice at this point. ]

( OOC: Tags might be slow. Sorry 'bout that in advanced! )

[Guess who's awake! Seems like he's not the only one, either.]

So, uh, guess it was my turn for one of those coma nap things. Seems like I missed some crazy shit this past week, what with the coral freaking out. Anything else going on I should know about?

And for all my hunnies, I hope you weren't too worried♥ The Great Zelos Wilder is just fine~

[Filtered to Guy]
You okay man? I was kind of out of it already the last time we talked.

[Filtered to Kratos]
Stay the fuck out of my house!

[Filtered to Ky]
You are the neediest little SOB I've ever met. It's like you want in my pants or something, geeze.

Dream

It's hard to say who exactly is the one dreaming - it seems like more of a memory, playing from behind the eyes of the one that lived it. There's a plainly dressed brunette woman playing with a small boy nearby, a toddler still really. Though both of them are dirty and a little tired looking, through the eyes of the person watching they're the most beautiful sight imaginable. The boy turns and toddles near, holding his hands out. The viewer lifts him up, earning a gleeful little laugh for his troubles.

"Ride?" the boy asks.

A deep voice responds, "All right, Lloyd."

And the dream cuts out as he starts to regain consciousness.



Action

Kratos opens his eyes, just barely finding the strength to sit up. If this is the afterlife, should he feel so weak? It's certainly not what he expected.
