first mission - video

[throw_stone]

[The view from New Bark Town is... the usual view. But then, the camera turns to face Ramza, his face as linefacey as when he left. However, he now wears armour, and his hair has been cut short. Ever-so-slightly trembling, he steadies himself. There's no time to worry about home. Even though that's what he's doing. He closes his eyes, takes a sharp breath, and opens them again. Yes.]

It's been quite some time. But, I've returned. My name is Ramza Lugria, of the land of Ivalice. I've retained my memories of my last visit - even if times have... changed back home.

[oh my god

oh my god delita is alive and he kidnapped a princess why

...No. This isn't the time to ponder things like that. He's got more pressing concerns on his mind - as he presses to the single Pokeball on his belt, he lets out the slightest groan.]

...I've a question. When we vanish, we return home. That much is known - many have proven it. Sometimes, our Pokemon do not return with us. Does-- where do they go? Do they simply go to the PC, or are they...

[Gone. Dead. Many words he could use, but none come to his lips. With the slightest of awkward groans, he is about to stop the post, before saying something else.]

...'tis no progress on returning to our countries, correct?

[To return to his duty - though Ramza is almost sure of the answer, he has hope in his eyes. Perhaps he still has duty here, but he wants to find truth. Find out how Delita survived - and to make sure Lady Agrias would be fine.

After a few moments on that face, the video ends. Ramza is just going to... slump down, okay. He's not sure what to do. He doesn't even know who remains of his allies. If he were honest? He was scared, if only a little, that he may be alone again.]

[A familiar face, with familiar memories? It's almost as if Cecil's birthday has come early, even if the question that follows is not quite so pleasant.]

Some of your Pokémon were left with Walter, but... not all. The others must have found new homes in the wild.

[Or so he likes to imagine, every time someone disappears.]

Welcome back, Ramza. It's been some time.

[ This topic has been bothering Mimi ever since her conversation with Cecil about what happens when you leave. So when she hears this guy, well. Have a slightly panicky young girl filling your screen, Ramza. ]

Excuse me! Did you say you've been here before? And you remembered it? Does that mean it is possible to remember this place after you leave?!

What happens to your Pokémon... [ That's not something Mimi had even considered. Her stomach drops as she thinks about losing her precious Pokémon. ] I don't know about that, I'm sorry... [ Wait. ] You said "sometimes they don't return with us." Does that mean sometimes they do?

Ramza-chi!

[It's so cool to see a familiar face back in the PokeWorld! Hagakure remembers him from when he first arrived in Johto. Man, that was like a year ago though... So if Ramza remembers Hagakure at all, he'll notice for sure that his hair is a lot shorter than it used to be. Someone got talked into a haircut...!

He scratches at his hair awkwardly, because those are some pretty hard questions to answer. Not hard as in tricky, but...one of the answers probably isn't what Ramza wants to hear.]

I bet your dudes ended up with people! That's what usually happens when one of my friends leave- their Pokemon live in the house with us. And yeah, no getting home by our own choice...but it's not all bad. You'll be okay, right?

They probably just wander off.

[That's just a guess on his part. He doesn't have the slightest clue about that at all.]

No sense waiting around for somebody that might not show up right? So they probably leave, go hang out with a bunch of other ones or whatever it is they do. That's my guess, anyway.
