[For those who know Aqua, she seems very subdued today. The girl who'd been excited for her upcoming exam was oddly serious, like she was in doubt.]

...I passed my Mark of Mastery exam. But our friend Terra didn't.

There was...something wrong. Some kind of darkness. None of us know what it was, but the Master felt he needed to control it better before he could become a Master.

[IC love meme! If your character wouldn't do this, feel free to say in the subject that they were namedropped by Issei. ...Even you, Wesker.]

How convenient! I was just looking for a new world to travel to. Does anyone have any recommendations?

[A young woman is peering curiously at...well at whatever it is that's receiving the feed. Her long hair is drawn back with a large bow, and she seems to be wearing a checkered kimono.

The curiosity doesn't last long, though. It's only a few moments before what she sees causes her eyes to narrow and her lips to tighten.]

One of father's projects?

[With a thud, she slams whatever is providing the feed shut.]

[There's the sudden clacking of someone's boots on cobblestone, the quick movements indicate that the person is running. They're not running towards something, no- they don't know what's out there anymore, don't know what to even expect. They're running from something, the sound of their blade being drawn from its sheath.

The camera finally pans to bring the certain character into sight, he's in all green- a color and outfit almost anyone could recognize, but there's something different about him, completely different. He looks bigger, older- not the ten year old that used to be around here. He runs towards that monster, its steps slow and awkward- but that scream it emanates is loud and Link cringes for a second. He brings his sword down on it, cutting it. He sheathes the blade yet again, his movements just as quick as before.

The man stops as he gets closer to the exit of the marketplace, or rather- what used to be the marketplace. It's devoid of all life now, the only remaining things there are the Redead. He turns to Navi, looking right at the camera, his face full of confusion.]

...How could.... how could it change this much- Navi? It's been seven years but....

[he can't believe this is happening. He starts to run yet again, but the feed cuts off shortly after that.]

(ooc: so Link is an adult now. And so sorry, I'll reply to tags tomorrow on this too! dkfndsg)

[The screen may seen rather dull when the video comes on, a plain image of a picture on a wall. The picture isn't too clear, but it doesn't matter any in case. No the important thing is the sudden addition of a rather nasty looking knife as it's thrown from across the way into the center of the picture. The one who threw it isn't visible currently but they throw three more in succession, each hitting their target.] 

You know, one of the best punishments of all is taking away someone else's toys and then making it so they have to fix them when they're finally returned.

[There's a girl peering into the camera of whatever's recording her. She doesn't look too old; maybe early-to-mid teens. She also looks very annoyed. It's dark behind her, but she's well lit; if you strain, you can hear the crackling of a fire.]

Okay, what is this thing? I've never seen a blastia like this before in my whole life... [She pokes whatever is recording; the image shakes. Must be something small.] Hey Yuri, have you ever seen anything like this? I'm not sure what it's doing.

[After a moment looking away at something or someone, she makes a gesture at the device, and an eyebrow twitches as she seems to look at something.] Ducks...? Why are there...? This thing isn't making any sense! Why would there be a blastia that exists to show ducks and do nothing useful!? Ooh, that's it, I'm gonna roast this thing, maybe it'll do something then...!

[And suddenly there's a fireball over her head! It comes toward the camera... and the feed ends.]
