Attention: Maranda Soldiers, General Sephiroth

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

By order of General Chere, any and all of the Empire's soldiers present with the city are to respond to this post immediately, after which they are to await further instruction from myself. They are not to antagonize or injure the citizens, visitors, or wildlife in this city. They are not, in any way, to damage city property. Violators of these orders will be dealt with accordingly. Heed my orders and all shall be made clear in time.

Citizens and visitors of Paixao, if any soldier of the Empire should violator my orders, you are welcome to report the incident to me.

My sincerest apologies to General Sephiroth for my earlier...disappearance. A day has passed and I have only just returned to the city. I would appreciate it if you would contact me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your time.

Strikethrough aside, what is that supposed to mean, Mr. Gabbiani?

[withwingstofly.livejournal.com]

Let's just say that Fate is a fickle mistress and that you would do best to keep your eyes open, if the cards play out as I suspect they might.

[thecourtgod.livejournal.com]

Concern? I think you need to work on recalibrating that sarcasm meter of yours.

Oh, you better believe it's going to be temporary. If you ask me, he should be executed the second we get back. He's an obstacle to the Empire's goals, a stepping stone that's a little too slippery to be left in its place. Best to finish throwing it into the river, hm?

Good to see you've got an ounce of sense in you, at least.

Great. I won't blow him to bits if that's what you mean.

[thecourtgod.livejournal.com]

And you could've left once they were finished. Are you a 'gambler' or a taxi service?

[private to Setzer]

Luck is exactly what it is.

I fly where the winds take me. I can hardly be to blame if it happens to blow in a direction that happens to be convenient to them

[thecourtgod.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Very convenient to them, I'd say. In fact, exactly where they want to go. They must have some very favorable winds.

[withwingstofly.livejournal.com]

Luck of the draw, I assure you.

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

Mmh.

My eyes never close, Mr. Gabbiani.

[withwingstofly.livejournal.com]

I should hope so.

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

The politics of our world may be dealt with when we return to our world. Know this: I won't accept rash behavior under the terms of this alliance even if it is temporary.

[/private]

I appreciate it. I am sure Mr. Gabbiani does as well.

[Private to Celes]

Yeah, yeah... You're as bad as Leo.

[PRIVATE to Kefka]

I'll assume that is a compliment and take it as such.

... Which Empire's soldiers do you mean, General?

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

The Gestahl Empire.

[heirofnabreus.livejournal.com]

Gestahl?

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

What world do you hail from, stranger?

[heirofnabreus.livejournal.com]

From Ivalice, if that is what you mean, but neither of its Empires is known as Gestahl.

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

You must be new to Paixao.

This is a world between worlds. That is why you are unfamiliar with the Gestahl Empire.

[heirofnabreus.livejournal.com]

"A world between worlds?" What do you mean?

[freedominthesky.livejournal.com]

And that little piece of information was what I was waiting for.

Still... to see the Lord Rasler in the flesh. How interesting indeed.

[runicknightx.livejournal.com]

It is something of a crossroad between a number of different worlds, if that makes any sense. Apparently, many people are drawn from their world and into this one.

[heirofnabreus.livejournal.com]

As much in the flesh as these allow, at any rate. And who are you?

[venit-ex-silva.livejournal.com]

Indeed, if all is what it seems.

[heirofnabreus.livejournal.com]

How is that possible?

[freedominthesky.livejournal.com]

My name is Balthier, and I am also from Ivalice, if that wasn't evident enough.

But still... It is a surprise to even see you on these things. By all means, you should be dead. And, before you mention anything along the lines, I mean no malice in that statement. It is simply a fact.
