1st Focus // [Accidental Video/Voice]

[crystal_stasis]

[Enter Serah Farron, L'cie, enemy of Cocoon. She seems to be lost... and really confused, of course.]

Where is this place....? I'm.... alive? How am I alive? I completed my Focus, didn't I?

[Serah took a moment to try to understand her situation. It was... weird. That was to say the least]

I thought that I... turned into crystal. I don't understand what's going on.

[She looked around. Not only was she alive, she was also in an odd new place. She took the bandage off her arm. The L'cie mark seemed burned or scorched over.]

Hello?! Can anybody help me? Does this mean I still have my Focus?

[The comm goes out over time.]

[That's good because she's freaking out. He's pretty cute himself, but too bad she's engaged to Snow.]

Oh thank god.

Ah-... You don't know what a-

[She stops and thinks for a moment, not finishing her sentence.]

A Focus is what is given to a Pulse L'cie. They have to figure out what the vague vision has shown and complete what it shows... or you turn into a monsterish creature called a Cie'th...

[She looked back at her mark, wearing a worried and somewhat scared look on her face.]

But I... I turned into crystal so I completed my Focus so why... Why is it...

[DOn't mind her, she's mostly talking to herself.]

[After a moment, he nods, processing it so it's alright if she speaks a bit to herself -- it gives him a moment to think]

Hmm~~

Well... this place is kinda weird so maybe it decided to give you a second chance?

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

You really think so...?

[As comforting as this should be to her, along with his smile, it wasn't. It just made her fear even more if she still had her Focus or not.]

I.. I don't understand what's happening. The L'cie mark... it's scorched over but.. does that mean I still have my Focus or not?

[Oz offers a nod but hesitates when she asks that, making him look a bit thoughtful before smiling again]

I think you don't have to worry about anything like that here.

Wonderland decided to let you live here once again. Consider it like a reward or something for completing your Focus~

[She looks at him and finally, she sighs in relief, letting out a smile smile.]

Is that so..? Well then... I'll take advantage of that life that was promised to me then.

[A small laugh and the smile becomes a bit brighter as he shifts a bit where he sits]

Glad to hear it~

Ah~ Which reminds me then. Is there any way you'd tell me more about your world? I mean... besides what you've already said involving those L'Cie and the Focus-stuff~~?

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

Ah, if you'd like. But first, don't you think we should introduce ourselves?

I'm Serah Farron... and you are?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Mm? Of course!

Oz. Oz Bezarius. It's a pleasure to meet you, Serah~

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you too, Oz.

What would you like to know?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Ah... well.. I kinda wanted to know more on that L'Cie stuff. Like.. what exactly IS a Pulse L'Cie anyway?

[crystal-stasis.livejournal.com]

Uhh... Well... you see it's...

[She stops, trying to think of the right words. She knew the best way to explain it, but it still bothered her to think about it.]

You see, in Bodhum, or rather more specifically, Cocoon, there are things called the Fal'Cie. The Fal'Cie are the ones who supply the food and lights. Basic things that you need.

But, they also have some Fal'Cie that bound people to a Focus. They call them Vestiges. Once you've become a Pulse L'Cie, you are given a vague vision of what your Focus is and you must complete it before the given time is up. If you succeed, you become crystal, graced with eternal life, or so they say.

If you fail... well... you become a Cie'th instead.

[She stopped there. She didn't want to lose him so she tried not to say too much information at one time.]
