[Post 032] Video/Action for Ecruteak City

[The broadcast starts with static. Stuttering, crackling static. This is legit static, guys. It's still a transmission of sorts, but nothing useful at all. It might even be irritating if you stare at it too long.]

[If you're patient or used to listening to static-ridden calls or a bad television reception (remember antennas?), you might be able to pick up the sound of a voice. A male voice.]


...lo...is this...any...

[More static. Finally, an image, mostly distorted but somewhat recognizable as France appears on the screen. He looks like he's standing in a window of a rundown building, the angle of the shot indicating he's probably holding the 'Gear as far out of the window as possible. From the way his lips are moving, it looks like he's shouting. His voice through the video, however, is rather muffled.]

Can you hear me now? There's something weird about the -

[The 'Gear's focus wobbles and then it becomes apparent that it's falling, the Bell Tower's outside momentarily visible before France's 'Gear crashes onto the pavement below. Anyone still watching will be treated to the no signal screen briefly until the screen goes blank.]

[Well. That doesn't look good.]

...France?

[France is grinning, although the left half of the transmission is still distorted, although not as badly as it was.]

Cecil! It's great to hear from you. How are you?

[Yup, totally trying to hide that damaged pride.]
paladinlost: (cute)

Fine, though somewhat cold.

[All the ice around him might explain that.]

What about you? ...Other than that slight distortion, than is.

[France blinks, confused.]

Cold? But it's summer. Where are you?

[He sighs a bit, squinting at the 'Gear.]

I'm doing well aside from dropping this silly thing...

The Ice Path. The name says it all.

[He moves the gear to show his surroundings.]

That seems relatively minor, as far as problems go.

[France gives Cecil a curious, somewhat concerned look.]

You aren't traveling there alone, are you? It's very beautiful, but it does look a bit dangerous.

Of course not. I was warned multiple times about the path to Blackthorn; risking a broken neck without help would have been foolish. I have a few friends with me.

[France smiles again, relieved.]

I can always trust you to have good sense, Cecil.

[He laughs, a bit ruefully.]

Good sense is something quite lacking in this place overall.

[France is that poster child.]

Between magnetic caves and lava, I know very well not to underestimate the terrain. Besides, I took certain precautions, just in case.

[France stares at Cecil.]

Lava? There are volcanoes here?

Not here, as far as I know, but my world's underworld has seas of lava. They made walking around quite troublesome.
