1.0; Reboot: Kefka 2, Electric Boogaloo

[sandinmyboots]

I am going to die of boredom if this keeps up!

[Here is a little pale man sitting on a ledge of rock. Only a few smudges of light make it through the clouds to show off the scarlet paint on his face and fill the hollow cheek bones.]

[He picks up a rock and throws it into the dark abyss below.]

How am I supposed to have any fun if nothing's on the line? A video game is nothing like real life. Game over; new game; continue. How can anything be fun if no precious lives are on the line? Now that I know the true nature of things, what's the point in continuing this farce of final boss?

[Kefka hops to his feet and starts yelling at the abyss.]

If they don't come back, I'll - I'll play loud music in the middle of the night. I'll kill someone and dance on his grave. I won't mix patterns for a week! I won't wear any bright colors! I'll destroy this universe and everyone in it, then hop to another and blast Never Going to Give You Up from the loudspeakers for hours at a time! So help me, if the ducks don't come back, I'll -

[A worldhop device falls out of the sky and whaps Kefka on the head. Kefka squawks, almost wobbles off the ledge, then tumbles onto his butt, off the ledge and onto the rocky ground.]

Yeouuuuch! What nasty creature dares hit Kefka on the head?!

[He looks up into the camera, then grins.] Ducks! You're back!

[sup you have a Good Troll worldhopping on over]

You're back!

[sandinmyboots]

W - o - a - h!

[Kefka flops into a sitting position.] Stanley! You're a sight for sore eyes!

[aquaticrush]

Hello, Kefka-san!

[sandinmyboots]

Hey, hey Retasu! You're really there, aren't you? I"ll have to kill you if you're a fake!

[aquaticrush]

I'm real, I swear! I don't know why anyone would impersonate me anyway!

[boostup4beetbuster]

We're back? You're back!

[sandinmyboots]

You're not dead! That is excellent!

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yep, best news I've heard all day!

[embersandashes]

Your boyfriend missed you.

[sandinmyboots]

I need to go find him right away!! Damn damn damn! How could I mess this up?!

[embersandashes]

I'm still in shock that you have a boyfriend.

[masked_god]

Not mixing patterns for a full week? Your boredom must truly be dire.

[Kaaree's tone is humorous, but there is and edge of tension there. Is this his Kefka? Surely not...]

[sandinmyboots]

Oh! OH oh oh oh oh! Hold on! Give me a worldhop!

[He hecked up. He hecked up really bad. Even Kefka knows it's not really appropriate to disappear for several months without a word of warning...]

[masked_god]

You remember me?

[There is only a flash of a startled smile starting on Kaaree's face before he disappears in a whirl of colors to appear at Kefka's side]

[material_guy]

You. You're an unexpectedly lonely little guy, huh?

[Video]

[sandinmyboots]

It's not like I can help it, can I? Without the ducks, the only good conversation I can get is from myself!

[Video]

[material_guy]

Almost looks like it gave a shit enough to come back 'cause you wanted it enough, too.

[makewayforroze]

Welcome back. It sounds like you missed us.

[sandinmyboots]

Hello, Rose! Long time no see!

[makewayforroze]

It has been a long time! How have you been?

[fallen_stage]

[Kuja didn't get half of that, but the little man on the screen does seem amusing, with his loud style and quick, jerking movements. Almost avid, really: like a poison-bright heron.]

Excitable fellow, aren't you?

[sandinmyboots]

It's all exciting times when the ducks are concerned!

[Kefka pauses, then leans into the camera.] You're new, aren't you?

[fallen_stage]

I've found it amusing myself thus far. To think that so many worlds are linked by this one center! Why, it beggars the imagination.

[Kuja only smiles serenely back, as they note the lines and pockmarks not wholly hidden by Kefka's makeup.]

And you aren't, clearly. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr...?
