[The speaker's voice is laced with a bit of annoyance, but much stronger than that is weariness. The rustling of trees' leaves being blown in the wind can be heard in the background.]

This must be a joke. Nothing but a cruel, extremely unusual joke from a being with a sadistic sense of humor. I am well acquainted with the fun of irony at this ( Read more... )

[Rygdea was just minding his own business messing around with the journal here, until he heard this rather familiar voice. His jaw almost dropped once the message played. While the man didn't state his name, he stated several key terms that confirmed who he was. Unsure if he should even reply, Rygdea does so hesitantly.]

No way...

[He paused briefly before continuing.]

Cid, is that you?

Do you understand now, then? A single man cannot stand up to a fal'Cie such as he, nor apparently can an entire division.

[He wanted truth and yet once he found it, he couldn't accept it.]

So that's it.

[His words were quiet now, almost too quiet.]

Everything we worked hard for, gone in an instance all because of a fal'Cie posin' as a damn human. [He sighed.] I couldn't write a better story than this.

Unfortunately, that is the way of things. Success is never easily found, and as we now know, often beyond one's grasp.

[He looked down at Rygdea, feeling odd at how quiet the other man had gotten. Not that he blamed him, but he was unused to this.]

[He was thinking, clearly thinking about how many people are going to die now. The Guardian Corps always prided themselves in giving a damn more about the people than upholding the orders of a fal'Cie god. The corruption within the military stemmed from the brutal tactics of both PSICOM and the Sanctum itself. The government sanctioned the purges, knowing that anyone caught within them would come out alive. Everyone they claimed to have sent to Pulse was all exterminated, much like rats. The only reason Rygdea stayed in the military this long was in hopes of taking Sanctum down.]

We're a bunch of fuck ups.

[He ran his hand through his hair.]

I can't believe this. After all this time, no one noticed that the old bastard was one of them. Just what the heck do they want from us, Cid?

These fucking monsters...!

[Right on the verge of a rant, Rygdea paused suddenly.]

…Cid?

[He was staring up at him now.]

You all did what you could. Do not regret the work you put in to save the people of Cocoon. Even if you were unsuccessful in the end, that does not negate it.

[He sighed, noting that Rygdea was looking up at him again.]

Yes?

[It was nice of Cid to try and cheer him up, but now Rygdea had another question.]

If Dysley was a fal'Cie--[Oh, Cid. He figured you out.]--then does that mean he branded you?

[Well, damnit. That was something that he wanted to keep a secret.]

...An understandable assumption to jump to, but, no.

[Logically, there was no harm in telling Rygdea, but it was still something he did not want to share. And of course, then, he realized: he didn't have his gloves. His hand was bare. For whatever reason, Cid had not bothered to look at his hand to see if the brand was still there, but whether it was or not... He turned slightly, doing his best to make it look a natural movement, hiding his right hand from view.]

[Nice try, loser! Rygdea totally saw you do that fake ass pose.]

Why are ya movin' like that? Cid, what's wrong?

Nothing is wrong.

[He shook his head, glancing over at the town. Subject change time!]

...Interesting little town, by the looks of it.

[Cute distraction, commander. However, you're going to have to do better than that to deter him. Now circling around Cid like a vulture, Rygdea then made a dash forward in a valiant attempt to grab Cid by his right arm.]

[He spun around, yanking his arm out of the way and still holding it so that Rygdea couldn't see the back of his hand.]

Pray tell, what was that about?

[Drats! He missed.]

Show me your arm! You're hiding somethin'!

Stop acting so childish, Rygdea.

Don't change the damn subject! [He lunges for Cid again.]

[Again, he dodged. Why did Rygdea have to be so damned persistent?]

That is the "damn subject".
