Video: There's an old voice in my head

So it seems the coeurl is out of the bag.

[For those of you that haven't seen Cor since he escaped the Temple Priests care he's looking... well... quite a bit less haggard. As a matter of fact he looks better than he has in months. No less worried or stern but the harsh weathering has faded from his skin making the light smattering of freckles clearer, his hair is a little darker, the lines in his face a little lighter.

As a matter of fact he looks more like a man in his early 40s, not one teetering ever closer to 50.]

There's likely a whole mess of time paradox concerns but as we have more and more people from Eos arriving it is becoming harder and harder to keep track of who knows what. Anyone that has any input on how to handle these potential paradoxes I'd appreciate it.

[He sighs, lifting a mug of coffee to his lips, and offering the tablet a resigned shrug.]

Of those here... I believe I have the most complete picture of the future. It was August ME 758 last I knew. If you'd like to know what your future holds rather than tripping into it. Come see me.

[He reaches out to kill the feed, hesitating for just a moment.]

Mmm, Ardyn, I've a favor to ask when you have a moment, as well.

[This is something he has had a little experience with in the past, most notably when Vincent showed up in Riverview for the brief time that he did. That one still hurts him; he won't speak of it in telling terms. But he does have something to contribute here, and so he does.]

What is there to handle? You won't be able to control what your friends know any more than you can control what you know. But in the interest of protecting them from whatever it is you hold in your head and they, currently, do not, why not take them as they are and enjoy the time you have now?

I'm merely offering information for those that might want it. There's a great deal about our world that would be best changed if we are able to.

I am quite pleased to be able to spend time with those here under far less strenuous circumstances.

[Voice it up, that's cool. Undertaker is just fine with his face on the feed. That hasn't bothered him before and it won't bother him now.]

Hindsight being what it is, we would all change a thing or two if we could, I imagine. How many of your friends are here, if I might ask?

[flawed_immortality]

[A thing or two Undertaker that is the understatement of the millennia.]

We have four members of the royal family and a small number of their retainers. Seven in total, two Oracles, and an unfortunate addition from a neighboring country.

[None of them are "friends" exactly, even Regis, who is his best friend, is his King first.]

[He's very good at beating around the bush and downplaying severity. It's part of his job, at times. Or was.]

My, my. That'd be quite the party, assuming you lot get along. Otherwise the gods of this world might not have chosen so well.

[flawed_immortality]

Those of us from Lucis get along well enough. We have something of a black sheep, however.

[And he doesn't mean Ardyn.]

Besithia on the other hand is... well his country has been at war with Lucis for generations now.

sorry for so late!

[somakemelaugh]

[He doesn't know who the man means, but he's glad to have the conversation nonetheless.]

Ah, that's a shame. Might be too much to hope that even though you've been at war for so long, you couldn't find something to agree upon in the here and now? Surely you all must understand that these are different times in a different place.
