That was certainly awkward.

[And that's all he has to say about the experiment.]

I am ready. Would you like to get started right away, or wait for the new feather rush to finish?

I agree.

Given that I largely missed out on being able to help much with last month's Welcome Center duties, I ought to make up for that. I'll be glad to help as soon as the usual rush is over, though.

Ah yes, the center... I keep forgetting about that. We'll wait for things to cool down a little then. Rushing wouldn't be good for this sort of plan.

I'd like to say that we could start when it slows down regardless of when the cycle's due to end...but timing will likely throw a bunch of them in at the same time, so I wouldn't trust that.

...besides, I'm still pretty sore. I'd need a few days even if that wasn't the case. I'll be fine by the time we're both ready, though.

This is quite true. It's not a problem though. Two weeks will pass relatively quickly.

Wearing armor constantly does have that effect when you aren't used to it. Don't worry, it should pass soon enough.

I'm not sure how one can ever get used to that much weight, but I'm glad to leave that to those who can put up with it.

...I just realized the cycle ought to end around Valentine's Day. Maybe last year won't repeat itself, but I'm not having much faith in that.

[Golbez seems to twitch a little at the mention of that particular holiday.] That fact had slipped my mind as well.

Do you have anything resembling a plan? Avoiding talking to anyone for the duration of an experiment seems... difficult.

It would be and no, I don't. Nor do I want to be a hermit, but I'd like to limit the chances of me falling for Kefka or someone else just as despicable.

...and if that happens, I'd consider it a personal favor if you pry me away and Sleep me or whatnot.

Becoming a hermit might even increase those chances...

The only method I can think of would be to ensure that the first person on that date would be someone you might consider having those feelings for otherwise.

... And you have my word, if you'll give me yours.

It was always the first person? You're sure? There wasn't any exception to that pattern?

And yes, I'll gladly give mine.

Always, unless the person in question was already taken. In which case it didn't qualify.

My thanks.

Indeed it was.

Were you affected this month?

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Thankfully, no. Was anyone in your household spared?

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Eiko seemed to avoid the brunt of it, though she came home with quite a story about being caught up in someone else's impulsiveness.

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, the young child. I assume her sight returned about the same time as Rydia's?

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Relatively, yes. It's... been a trying period for us all.

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
That's to be expected, after what happened.

I've seen Rydia's recovery myself, when she was... attempting to emulate Kain. How is Rosa?

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
She's improving. Not as quickly as we might have hoped, since much of the clinic staff was rendered ineffective from the experiment, but she's doing what she can. I imagine she misses us as much as we miss her.

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hnnn, I'd hoped the package I provided would have sped things up a little for her. But I'm sure it won't be too much longer.

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
I hope not. Though I do thank you for all you've done to help.

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
You needn't. I'm your brother, after all, who else is going to take care of you all?

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to feel responsible over me. Nonetheless, thank you for the effort.

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
I try.

[Or rather, he's been trying, here in Luceti.]

[And though Cecil appreciates it, that doesn't make the whole thing any less awkward to accept.]

Tell me... It seems you know much about my troubles, yet I've no idea about yours. How have you been?

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-04 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[That question takes him off guard. He actually has to pause a few moments to consider his answer.]

To be honest, I'm feeling rather overidle. I'm not sure if Rydia spoke to you or not about it, but I recently attempted to use a scrying spell to see beyond the barrier. It met with dismal failure. I've been working on it since, but I can't seem to make any breakthroughs or learn anything useful. And I'm lacking in other projects.

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
At least you're still trying. It's still so upsetting to watch our neighbors become so.... enamored with one another's presence that they've come to prefer it here. I have faith that an opportunity will present itself soon enough. Though perhaps faith is all we still possess.

[identity profile] cladinthedark.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's largely because of a false dilemma that people's drive begins to fall. I refuse to believe that returning to our own worlds necessarily means the loss of contact with everyone we've met here. If we can all be brought together involuntarily, we can meet again once we've left.

[identity profile] lunarborn.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well said.

But even if we must part ways, is that not the nature of a journey? One need not be physically close to a friend to have him close to one's heart.

[Just because this was a guy that had a definitive DARK aura, it was bound to happen. So, have a Kefka hovering in the air right above your shoulder, like some sort of misshapen magical parrot.]

That is certainly the understatement of the month.

[That warrants a snicker from Kefka. He's also instantly picking up on the similarities Golbez's aura has with Cecil, so he's going to curb his manic side some for the moment.]

The way I see it, one should just enjoy their lot in life. When life hands you lemons, throw them at the prop comic~!

That sounds like the attitude some of us have to Luceti in general. But I thought the usual fruit of choice in such situations were tomatoes.
