More Big Questions. Video (cw: mentions of child slavery)

From: Romeo
Date: 14th April

[Romeo is sat crossed legged on his bed, his phone propped up against a pile of books. He is in what seems to be his bedroom, on the wall behind him there are pictures stuck to the wall. Many of them childish drawings of people and places in the heavens. Some of much better quality are most likely gifts he has recieved off his friends. He is holding a soft toy and he is playing with it's ears as he waits for the camera to load properly.

Last time he had had big questions filling his head he had asked them on the BBS and got some very good answers, so it seemed like the best thing to do now that he had more.]

Hello everyone! It's Romeo again! So last night I had a dream, 'cept it wasn't a normal dream it was a memory from when I was alive.

[He knows he needs to be careful! That talking about this could be dangerous for him and for other people.] Don't worry! I'm not trying to push my head and remember more things and I spoke to Elfnein about the important bit.

[The important bit being Alfredo. His friend. The brave boy with the kindest smile and the strongest heart who had swore eternal friendship to him.]

But I got... Some questions I guess because I remembered things and I didn't know them or I did but I forgot and it's a bit confusing.

[Like the volcano had been confusing. When everything Romeo thought he knew was slightly off and the world was all a bit more complicated and scarier than he thought. He punched the air, keeping his spirits up.]

Did you know you could buy kids?

Yes. Maybe he will come to heaven though if he's got lots of friends that might be sad because they will miss him... But here is much nicer I think!

[cleansingstrike]

'Tis a curious thought.

I long for my home and country, full of peril as it may be.

Yet my time here...

'Tis relaxing.

[myblueskies]

You miss it? Did you have lots of friends there? [Friends who she couldn't see anymore because she had been brought to the heavens and had to work here.

Gods could remember all of the stuff from before. Did it make them sad? Being a god sounded really hard.]

[cleansingstrike]

Friends, aye. But 'tis also my home, and I have been serving it and it's people ever since I can recall.

'Tis expected of a knight to wish to return to their kingdom.

[myblueskies]

You're a knight? Like from a storybook?

[A real life knight! Who is also a god... That's a lot of things to be all at once. But that's good because it means she already knew how to help people really well!]

[cleansingstrike]

Aye. I hail from the kingdom of Ivalice.

Agrias Oaks of the Lionsguard, at yon service.

[myblueskies]

Wow! [A real knight from a real kingdom! The kingdom of Ivalice!]

It's nice to meet you miss Agrias Oaks! I'm Romeo but I'm not a knight or anything and I don't really know where I'm from except in my memory dreams I went to Milano, that's in Italy! Is it dangerous guarding lions?

[cleansingstrike]

Lions are often associated with the kingdom's royal family, adorning their crests, flags, and flying upon their banners.

'Tis the Lionsguard's duty to protect the royal family and ensure their well-being.

[myblueskies]

[Oh! Not guarding lions then. But guarding a royal family! That was just as exciting!]

That sounds like a really really important job!

[cleansingstrike]

'Twas a post I served faithfully for many a year.

It pained me to discover that they were not as just as I was led to believe.

[myblueskies]

They weren't? Why weren't they? [He's doing his best to follow along, even though he's having a hard time even imagining a royal family and their knights, it's very much like a story book except it was real because he's talking to her right now.]
