WHO: Takame and The Network
WHERE: … The Network
WHEN: Late August
WHAT: New person giving the Prophecy!
WARNINGS: Mentions of his kidnapping earlier but nothing detailed

[The feed opens up to a rare face on the network, Takame in all his glory. It’s probably pretty well known that he was one of the victims of Krusnuk’s kidnapping earlier this month though despite that he looks pretty put together. Or rather, like someone who put in extra effort to look together. A little bit of makeup goes a long way.]

Good afternoon. For those who do not know of me, My name is Takame Kesi. Some of you may be aware of the… incident from earlier this month with Krusnik. I must extend my thanks to everyone who came to the rescue of myself, Rose and Ser Vittore. I am doing what I can to recover, however that is not the reason I speak today.

I am one of Kaisou’s seers as of a few months ago and I am here to report on what we may expect in the next month.

[There’s a long pause as he shuffled some paper around. He was clearly well prepared for this, but he really spoke like giving a debrief instead of just talking about it.]

Three of Cups Upright. Coming together, community and other such things of that nature. A Full Moon, no further context provided. [Off screen, his tail twitched in agitation. Moon’s Haunted…] Fresh Mutton, little context provided as the focus was on the mutton.

Jousting, no further context. A song about a reading rainbow? Unfortunately, I’m unsure that I could recite it properly. And… someone’s voice. Identity unknown, I only heard the words “World… forget me…”

[He set his notes down with a nod and a light sigh.]

That concludes my report. As always, much of it is disconnected…

Comments

Yes. She even said that I shouldn't worry about her, that she was the one worried about me in her letter. Can you believe it?

[Yes, everyone can. Even if Rose hadn't been kidnapped and tortured this month, that would still be a very believable statement.]

But I'm wondering if I should begin to follow in her example.

[hoshikiri]

... Friends will be concerned for friends regardless, will they not?

[Yes, he is dancing around that question.]

Follow in her example?

[poisontippedcure]

[It's probably for the best that he does. Rose's fragile ego can't handle much right now.]

Yes, she had a goal she was after.

I haven't...had anything like that here. Honestly, I'm not sure I did at home, either. Aside from trying to stay alive, of course.

[hoshikiri]

[He's quiet for a long while. Not having a goal to be after... hit him hard. But maybe it was because it hit him hard that he could speak a bit more on it.]

Nor have I. I... I came to Eorzea to find one. To find myself. To find a purpose. I am unsure that I've found one all this time, I've simply gone where others have told me.

[...]

We may find one if we work together.

[poisontippedcure]

It's funny you say that, because now that I think about it, I've always gone the opposite of where others told me.

[She could be a brat like that.]

Still, I couldn't imagine anyone else I'd like to find a purpose with.

[hoshikiri]

[Yeah, that sounded like the bratty thing she'd pull. But at that last comment, he smiled at her again. A little bit stronger.]

... Thank you, Rose.
