Besaid, (We have enough rpers here now! lol)

[rikku]

Rikku sat alone, near the beach on Besaid Island. She was simply pondering upon matters, past events and current ones. It all began here, really. All the stories that she could tell someone they all originated from this small island. The island was peaceful, despite the calamity that had overtaken Spira and many other worlds. How strange it was to think of it because the last thing Rikku could really remember was finding Cid, her father, getting onto the airship and leaving Zanarkand. Tidus had disappeared and she knew not what else to do. Of course, everyone had reboarded the airship in order to get back to their homes. Home. Something Rikku knew little of ever since the destruction of Home in Bikanel Island, she wondered if the island was still here on this newly forged world. She hadn't heard of it and really. . . She cared naught. Sure, she missed home and it made her sad but, the past is just that and there was really no point in lingering in it, but then, why was she here?

Rikku blinked forward. She was sitting on a ledge that, if jumped from, would lead into the beach. The area was much like a scar in the earth, with larger ledges all around her. Most of the tip tops of each formation was grassy and green. The palm trees bellowed in the wind, releasing the salty sea air and allowing it to fill her senses. The sun was blaring down upon her and there were few clouds to be seen. It would seem as though Rikku merely wanted a break but. . . She really only wanted to clear her recently fogged brain. Where had she gone for the two years following the defeat of Sin? Who had she met? Were they important? Who was this Gippal? She could barely remember him from her childhood. She had played with him at Home in Bikanel Island and then later met him again, or so she was told. She really could not remember. It was all because of a fog? She supposed that if Sin were ever possible, then surely this notion was as well.

" Right!" Rikku nodded along with the word that slipped through her lips, she lunged her legs over her head in some form of acrobats that ended with her booted feet planted firmly upon the ground. It was a brisk walk as she left the red once platform like ruin that had been overtook by the earth and made her way up to the beaten path. She was here to see Yunie! Maybe she could help her with her memory problems. Who was this strange other party that had joined them in their travels across Spira the second time? Also, had she found Tidus? Rikku hoped so. . . Tidus was a pretty neat guy.

She made her way down up the sloped path, the road seemed to be cleared of fiends for the time being. Maybe a previous traveler had already taken care of those. Rikku was glad, she wanted to arrive at the village as soon as possible. Hopefully Yunie was there. Maybe I shoulda wrote. What if she isn't even here! Lulu and Wakka may be though. . .Ooooooeee this makes me crazy! Gotta stop thinking, right! Just walk. If no one I know is there then I'll just leave, yeah that's it, I'll just leave!!

Rikku crossed the bridges that hung over a couple of blue waterfalls, slowly making her way to the village. She broke out into a run, her orange scarf trailing behind her along with her insane blonde hair. She really wanted to see Yuna, if only for a second! Give her a big ole hug! That would surely help her with her memory issues. With each thrust of her leg, hard onto the ground, she felt the pressure inside her grow and grow. The weight of having your memories taken was almost to much to take. She hadn't really even known why, she could just fill them slowly deplete, continuously she forgot things. How long before she forgot everything? Normally, Rikku was pretty carefree but this was to much for the Al Bhed. Sure, memories were nice and all but. . . To forget everything? Who she was, all her friends and her family? How could she deal with that!

Well, for one I wouldn't remember anything so there wouldn't be much to deal with. . . Hehehe, but still, as of right now I can still remember everyone! I need my friends, my family! I don't want them to disappear from my mind.

Rikku had made it to a large fork in the road. There was a ledge to the far right of where she emerged that overlooked the village. She decided to take a peak and see how the village was doing. With the mist and all, you could never be too sure where that stuff was. She saw it, thick fog all through the forests of Besaid. She wasn't sure but, it seemed like the village was un touched. she wouldn't be positive until she made her way down the down-hilled slope. It was behind her, the third road to the right in the fork. She nodded and ran towards it.

She had quickly made it to down to the village. Smiling like she had just opened a present, Rikku yelled,
" Helluuuuu!? Anybody home?" Then proceeded in waiting for an answer. It was still pretty early in the morning, maybe they all had decided to sleep in, and here I thought people like this woke up before the sun rose, sheesh!

These mishaps, your bubble wrap, When you've no idea what you're like." Yuui's steps were beginning to drag. He'd done a lot of walking, in the complete wrong direction from Cocoon. He was supposed to go home, not... Not take a ferry to a resort island. What on earth was he doing? Exploring, the word came to mind, and at that the boy felt a little giddy. He was exploring, mapping out the region he now found himself in - there was no way this was Pulse, after all. If he was on Pulse, he probably would be dead. Well, actually, he doubted that. The Sanctum were a great bunch of liars, he knew from experience. They probably demonized Pulse just to keep everyone docile and scared. Willing to be controlled. Or something. Thoughts scatterbrained with fatigue, the boy hardly remained conscious as he trotted lightly into the village, a loose ring of tents protected by a temple that crouched like a dragon over its home. The main common was a hardened dirt circle, a stone patio equally as round at its center. Very quiet. Not as eerily quiet as Wutaii, but still very quiet. .... until a shriek of "Helluuuuu!? Anybody home?" rent the air, cutting cleanly through his dubstep track and catching the bluenette unawares. He spun at that shout, being standing a little to the right of the main "square", not immediately seeing the source of the voice as she was likely obscured by a tent between them. A small "eep," a wary step back, and an adjustment to his flimsy posture came as a result of the last encounter he'd had with a stranger. Am I gonna be attacked again? "Hel.... lo?" [/style]

[rikku]

In the distance, a small form could be made clear, even though the fog had just rolled in. Rikku, being the go-getter that she was, ran over to him in long strides, not bothering to regulate her breath. Her feet clunked onto the hard surface of the summoners stage and she halted, staring at the boy in front of her. This kid looks lost. . . he also looked extremely nervous, wary maybe? Rikku couldn't tell as the fog bellowed in between the trees, weaving delicately in between the two. She turned her head against the wind, the way the fog had rolled in, "Stupid fog, She muttered, returning her eyes back to the kid at her front. She lifted a thin hand, gesturing her hello and then moving her lips in order to speak, "Heya! Why ya look so. . . You don't live here," She pointed downwards,""Do you?" Rikku blinked in her amusement, of COURSE he didn't.

Rikku's eyes wandered around, she was looking for Yunie still, where would she be? In the temple? What of Tidus?

Her eyes traced it's path once more, falling onto the young boy in front of her. She thrust her arm out along with one cheesy smile, "Rikku here. What's yours?"

I hope Yuna's here. I need her.

[Yuna]

[/b] Yuna muttered. So much white, like...like no.. "I can fly" Yuna heard herself speak. Feeling the wind rush down her hair and back, she felt a bit of sadness.[/i]

"No!" Yuna cried out and sat up. Oh just another dream..again..Yuna thought.

A few moments later she saw a familiar face rush into her tent. "Lady Yuna, are you alright?"

As her pulse raced a gentle smile spread across the summoner's face. "Yes I'm sorry, a bug startled me. It flew away, thank you for your care." Yuna said with a nod. The person gave her a friendly smile and left her in peace once more.

Was customary for the young leader to show a smile at all times. She knew everyone did care and worry about her, but to send even more worry into their hearts was not necessary. Giving a smile was always a sign of happiness and sent brightness into people. Also sending that type of worry to them would not be right, the people of Besaid trusted Yuna to protect and lead them. Perhaps I should talk to Lulu or Wakka about my dreams, Yuna thought. Or perhaps both.

Yuna pushed herself off her bed and started to make sure her hair was proper. I heard his voice again, Yuna thought. Meeting Tidus at the beach had proved that she had memories that were hidden. What happened to make the memories go away? Yuna thought. Sin's toxin? According to Tidus, she had defeated Sin and brought the Eternal Calm. It was to incredible to truly wrap her head around the idea. Yes, she truly did believe him though. He had acted like he knew her and he seemed to have a genuine and honest heart. She had hoped that knowing this, or believing it, would make her dreams more clear. Also, perhaps the fact of remembering what happened. She was still sadly clueless.

With a sigh, Yuna brushed her hands up in her hair and shook it. Was still quite early, which was perfectly fine for the young summoner. Sleeping in was a bad habit of hers that nearly never happened. Only managed to do so, if she would stay up all night and not sleep until dawn. Still, Yuna did not like waking up in the afternoon or near noon. Shaking off these thoughts, Yuna stepped out of her tent and into the village. People were out, only mostly by the no longer active temple. Also she figured, some started the daily routine of work around the village. It is truly an honor to be chosen as their leader.

A small smile planted itself on the summoner's face as she heard someone. They sounded a bit confused and like they might be lost. Placing her hands on each side of her long skirt, Yuna started walking to where the voice came from. The voice had come from a blonde girl. And from the looks of her possibly an Al Bhed. Although, Yuna was just going by first looks.

"Hi." Yuna said with a friendly smile. "Is everything alright?" Yuna asked. As she did so, she saw someone else. She also sent him a welcoming smile.[/ul]

However, he knew he should've asked if it was actual mist or Mist. He wasted a trip on the Strahl but, he turned his ill luck on a more positive side. No Vieras, especially not Fran. Balthier may never admit it, but he missed Fran as a partner. He had to do all the work. Fit for the leading man, but even he could only uphold so much. Then he caught word of a promising girl. The leader of Besaid, nay, all of this 'Spira'. When he got a villager to talk, which was hardly any effort on his part, he got the entire story. She was certainly an energetic young lady and reminded him of someone ever so slightly. He might as well do business along Besaid while he was here. But the place the Sky Pirate would not go is the Temple; he had already been warned and they mentioned some Fayths. He'd rather not get tangled up about it, especially alone. Raithwall's Tomb was his only exception. As he was exiting the town to gather up on information about the woods (and possible viera villages you never know) he heard someone call. Bathlier decided to amuse the call and went towards it, only to find the young lady Yuna herself, a girl wearing less clothing than Fran, and a boy who looked like to be in one of those high technological advanced places. "You are the Lady Yuna? I've heard quite a bit about you. Such fame at a young age." He then looked at the other two. He might as well introduce himself; he also might obtain valuable information.

[Erik Storm]

He had been here once before, Besaid, Yuna had shown him the Temple of the Fayth. Spira was truly a beautiful place. He so wanted to go again with her. The last time he had seen Yuna was on Gran Pulse where he took her into Cocoon and Palumpolum. That was where he had given her something special. Reality took him back and he heard voices coming to his left. He quickly stepped and observed. The male was dressed in some sort of formal clothing, a gentleman perhaps. The other male looked shier, he smiled sympathetically, at one time in his childhood, he was exactly like that. The female wore little but she was very subtle about her appearance, yellow just like her personality. But what really made his smile grow was the robed lady, he definitely recognized her."Yuna.."He stepped out, walking over and paused as the pirate introduced himself. He turned to regard him first."I am Erik Storm, nice to meet you Bal..thier."He said, he was quite sure he pronounced it right. He turned to Yuna and went to her side, smiling softly."Yuna, how are you?"

[rikku]

(( OKAY, I do believe these are plenty of rpers so lets set some kinda order. I will post then it will go:

• Yuui
  
• Yuna
  
• Balthier
  
• Eric

Annd that will be all I really want in this thread! Thanks guys!))

Rikku looked around at all the faces that had suddenly appeared from the mist. What was this and were all of the new people friendly? It did not matter the only person she wanted to speak with had just emerged from the temple, wearing her old kimono styled summoners outfit Rikku bounded over to the short brown haired girl, throwing her arms around her neck and giving her a big ole Rikku style hug, which was both arms tightly around the victim while wiggling excitedly. Rikku was so happy to find Yunie! she was truly estatic, "Yunie! Yunie it's been so long I missed you so much! But. . . I have forgotten so much already. I am so glad I still remember you!" Rikku hugged her once again. Rikku was bouncing from her heels, now truly looking into Yuna's eyes.

The eyes, the one green and one blue, had a strange look about them. Was it confusion? Could it be that Yuna had forgotten everything as well? Rikku drew her eyebrows forward. Nope! Even if she had, Rikku could help her remember.

Some pretty boy emerged from the mist, saying something about Yuna. Rikku obviously had been up in an air ship to long. What was all this? She had heard of the mist and knew it was because of this that her memories were slowly vanishing and she even knew that something had happened that caused the all these new worlds to merge. But what? What sort of war was there? Maybe if Yuna could not answer her other questions she would be able to answer these questions. Rikku once again blinked at Yuna.

" Wowza! Where's all these people comin from? Boy did I come to Besaid at the right time," Rikku waved at the others that had shown up, her eyes trailing towards the first boy she had run into and then towards the new faces; the pretty boy, he had said his name was Balthier, and then the man named Erik Stormed. He seemed to know Yuna. Although Rikku knew Yuna she wasn't sure Yuna remembered her. . . But she would explain. Why hadn't Rikku thought of that before? Why hadn't Rikku put two and two together that if she had forgotten so much, whose to say Yuna hasn't?

Rikku, smiling as bright as ever, poked Yuna's side, "Well, aren'tcha gonna say something Yunie?"

[Yuna]

[/b] Yuna said and stood back up.

The shocked High Summoner did not know whether to hug the blonde back or not. Judging by the nickname that she had given Yuna, this girl and Yuna probably met on the High Summoner's pilgrimage. Yunie, Yuna thought with a warmth inside her. Hearing someone give her a nickname like that, was truly a joy. Though she was used to children running to her and wanting to hug her, but older people was very rare. Feeling like it would be rude not to at least pat her, Yuna put her arms on the girl's back and gave her a friendly hug.

Yuna let go of the girl and took a step back. "I am truly sorry, but...who are you? Did we meet on my pilgrimage to Zanarkand? My memory seems to have gone missing since then, my apologies." Yuna said and bowed her head at the blonde Al Bhed.

Yuna then looked at Erik and gave him a smile. Which reminded her, the necklace that he had given her was still in her tent. The place she normally kept it. Of course she was not shamed to have it, nor did she dislike it, it was the simple fact that it used to be a necklace associated with marriage. Being unmarried, or having a fiance, it was a bit weird to be wearing it all the time. Though Yuna would treasure it and the value it held.

"Hello Erik, I'm well thank you. Yourself?" Yuna asked Erik.

The High Summoner turned her attention back to the Al Bhed girl. She then wondered if she knew Cid. Seeing how he was her only family left alive, that she knew of, Yuna was wanting to meet her uncle. Only other downside was the fact of not even knowing much about him, knowing what he looked like, or even where he was. I just hope I can meet him someday, Yuna thought.[/ul]

Soldier, come on, when the final chord plays, and the chorus comes...!" "N-no," the response came, somewhat gray with apprehension. Was she going to attack him as well? "I'm.. I'm lost." True enough. But at least he knew in which general direction to travel... if he wanted to go home. Did he want to go home? There was nothing left for him there, anymore; PSICOM wasn't stupid, they wouldn't eliminate his mom at a time like this. He knew they were probably as freaked out about this situation as he was. And not being able to see anything hardly helped at all. But with the appearance of several other people, the slight bit of courage Yuui had worked up vanished again, and he almost seemed to shrink, accustomed to attempting to fade into the background. Almost all of them seemed to know each other, especially the blond girl - she nearly attacked another woman as "Yuna" emerged from the mist cloaking the area and blurring the edges of buildings. There were "Balthier" and "Erik" as well. Feeling slightly out of place, the boy shifted slightly, one hand on his right earphone as he adjusted it to fit properly. "Um...should I go?" he said, to no one in particular, really. What an odd bunch of people. [/style]

Company was getting quite large. However, when the newest of them spoke and couldn't pronounce his name right, Balthier couldn't help but correct him, furrowing his brow just slightly. "It's Balthier." He repeated. However, he was gaining all kinds of information just by observing everyone. The boy knew Yuna, personally, and Rikku knew her well enough to call her 'Yunie'. The more concerning matter was the fuzzy memory. It seemed like everyone was in the same wagon...and there was the same cause. The strange Mist of the world, or the Calamity as this world called its' evil Goddess, was causing some, even he, to have fuzzy memories...and even forgot them. ...And Rikku was somewhere between a cross of Vaan on a sugar-high and about as much decently clothed as Viera. Not that he minded, of course. Balthier smiled a bit and nodded when Yuna greeted him. She was pretty polite for her age and status; Balthier had to admit he was growing used to such kind leaders. Ashe, Larsa, and now Yuna were all examples of benevolent rulers. However, he got to see the same display that he himself had gotten. He could judge by her reaction that Rikku may be...either morbidly shocked or try to hide the hurt. "The memory loss is a terrible thing, isn't it? I had just recently met with a friend myself. She forgot who I was...and even who she was. It's good to see you've at least retained who you are." This wasn't for a pity party; he was hoping that by telling them, Yuna won't feel so bad about not knowing who she was and for Rikku not to feel as bad, knowing that there are others out there with even worse memory loss. "Tis very strange. To be known so well by her only to be forgotten." He added for extra emphasis. Balthier looked at Yuui. Lost? Interesting. He seemed squeamish...cowardly. He never met anyone who was so much of a coward before. Confidence level seemed the complete opposite of Balthier who held confidence even at times where he was caught, arrested, and against the wall with the only exit blocked is by Head Hunters. "Why don't you stay? You could learn a few things." Balthier held a point. Plus...he also didn't look native at all. In fact, he had no idea where he was from. The clothes looked...he wouldn't say modern but they looked...as if he was more technologically advanced. He had heard a war was going on between Archades and Cocoon. Perhaps...he was from Cocoon? It would make sense, hearing about their technology.

[Erik Storm]

Erik smiled, the warmth of Yuna's greeting provoked a small blush. He was truly happy to see her. He then noticed she was not wearing the necklace he had given her. As disappointing as it was, Erik knew that he couldn't force anything on Yuna, it would not be friendly. He turned to Balthier and nodded his greeting with a small smile."Nice to meet you then Balthier..I'll pronounce it like a master in no time."He said and looked closely at his attire for a moment, tilting his head to the side."Are you from Gran Pulse? I've never seen clothes like that even in Nautilus."He said and then went back to Yuna's side, looking to the shier boy before smiling."Hey, come on, You don't need to leave."He said and turned, regarding the shy man with a soft smile."I hope you don't mind telling me your name?"He said, truly curious of this man's nature. Of course he had been curious about Balthier as well, he had shown Yuna most of Gran Pulse but he had never seen clothing like his, not even in Oerba. He was curious about both men, Yuna seemed to be the only one he knew, and he didn't even know Rikku. Speaking of which, he smiled to the bubbly girl and bowed his head. He then looked over to Yuna."You do not remember her..? She's got that strange swirl in her eye, what did you call them..Al Bhed?"
