[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?

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 22:02:39 UTC

[He was honestly a little surprised at that. For now, he followed the other man.]

You surprise me, Rygdea. If I were you, I would hardly want to even speak to me.

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 22:15:45 UTC

Listen, Cid.

[He was hoping to hold off this conversation for later, but...]

We were all was fooled, right? Each one of us fooled by none other than Galenth Dysley himself. No one knew that the Primarch wasn't human. Hell, even I doubt the guys in PSICOM know. None of us knew what the heck was goin' on, but we did at least suspect somethin' was wrong.

If Barthandelus got to you and made you a l'Cie, then what good is blaming you? Like you said, you was nothin' but a pawn; another slave to a fal'Cie...

[Which makes him wonder if everything about the Cavalry was nothing more than a lie, but he chases that thought away.]

We're fucking dead. What good is keeping a damn grudge?

[As immature as Rygdea seemed to be at points, he still had his moments. This was one of them. Cid listened to his words as they slowly sank in, and while he was beginning to understand his perspective, it still seemed odd to him.

It might have been because Cid was furious at himself for what had gone on, so he couldn't fully understand how someone he had betrayed wouldn't feel the same.]

You do have a point. [He sighed.] I know that my apologies are pointless now, but you have them anyway.

[There was another pause before he spoke again, feeling as if it needed to be said, maybe for his own sake more than anything.]

You did not make a mistake in believing in the man I once was. That was not a lie. I was no fal'Cie pawn when you first served under me. My ideals were true. I may not be that same man anymore, but it was not always a lie.

[He suspected that much to be the case, but he didn't want to seem too hopeful. If Cid was being honest with him now, then everything does make sense. Raines really did believed he could take down Sanctum, thus he formed the Cavalry. Yet somewhere along the way, Galenth found out and revealed his true self to the Brigadier General; marking him as a l'Cie. Everything that followed after that was according to Barthandelus' plan.]

...That better not be a lie.

[Unsure of what else to say, Rygdea chose to say nothing. He waved Cid along, gesturing for him to follow.]

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 22:40:14 UTC

It isn't. I swear this to you.

[And he nodded, following along.]

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 22:48:39 UTC

[Not saying a word until they reached the apartment, Rygdea dumped all his gear upon the nearest table.]

Finally! Maybe I should have picked out a place on the lower levels.

[He grumbled.]

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 22:49:52 UTC

Some exercise is hardly bad for you.

[He placed his things down on the table as well, though in a less haphazard fashion.]

...strange, really, to think of living somewhere other than the Lindblum.

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 22:53:09 UTC

Ya say that now, but wait and see, You'll be sick of those damn stairs soon enough.

[He chuckled at Cid's last remark.]

What? Already gettin' sick of being grounded?

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 22:54:17 UTC

Aren't you?

[He could only chuckle back a little himself, really.]

The skies were our home for years.

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 23:00:16 UTC

[He actually cracked a small smile.]

To be honest, it's a little weird to be grounded like this. It feels unnatural, Cid.

I keep expecting to see a clouds pass us by, but nothing moving.

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 23:02:31 UTC

I wonder how long we will be able to stand this, really.

[He moved to sit down on the nearby couch, staring at the clothing he had just put on.]

...Wonderful. I will need to make holes for these damned wings.

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 23:07:48 UTC

[He was checking through his things for ammunition for his gun, when he overheard what Cid said.]

What? You got to be kiddin' me...

[Yeah, he almost forget about the stupid wings they have.]

Well, shit. I can't wear this anymore.

[He's not even going to try and cut holes into his uniform. Hell no.]

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 23:09:47 UTC

It seems as if you will have to find alternate clothing for yourself, then.

[He got up off the couch again to start going through the pieces of his clothing, pausing at the cape.]

...This may not be feasible anymore, unless I find a decent way to cut holes in it...

[He sounded rather disappointed, actually. Cid liked his cape.]

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 23:11:49 UTC

[A snicker came from him.]

If ya ever get that tailored, you're gonna look ridiculous, Cid.

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 23:12:13 UTC

How am I going to look ridiculous?
