Name: Zack Fair
Date: 29th Iuneril
Format: Video

[ This is, shockingly, Zack's first time using his Watch like this. Even though he's a sociable person who's happy to meet new people, he does tend to prefer face-to-face interactions, especially for a first meeting. So he hadn't felt much need for a broadcast until now.

He's realized lately how much their numbers have dwindled, and so can't help but want to reach out to his fellow Mirrobound, whether to talk to someone he hasn't seen in a while, or to make a new friend.

And, well, there's the practical reason. ]

Hey, all! [ He starts the video message with a grin and a quick wave. ] If we haven't met before, I'm Zack. Seems like we all need to band together more than ever now, and I also had a question.

[ He shifts his watch around so that the camera can capture at least some of his wings. Mainly, all viewers will be able to make out is a mass of dark brown feathers, before his face returns to front and center again. ]

I'm a chimera, and my transformation finished a few months back, but I'm still getting used to these wings. I'm not sure if I can even fly the way a harpy or dragon could, but it's probably worth learning. I mean, because it'd be helpful, but also because it'd be cool. Does anyone have any tips? Seems like it'd be hard to practice without risking some bodily harm.

[ A pause, and then he decides to ask one more thing. ]

Also, does anyone know if I'm the only chimera left here now? I used to know a few others, but they've all left. [ He shrugs one shoulder. ] I dunno, I was just curious. [ It would be strange, to be the only one, so he's hoping that isn't the case. ]

Anyway, thanks! It was nice talking to you all.

[ With that, the feed ends. ]

[ Reno's way seems to involve throwing all caution to the wind, which had been Zack's original plan, but the advice he'd gotten from some people more reasonable than him had made him reconsider.

He's already placed himself in serious danger once here. He really doesn't need to give his two Bonded heart attacks. Especially not Cloud, with all he's gone through. ]

You still had each other, though, right? Someone to spot you is important, I'd think.

[ Really, Rude? You're gonna make him ask again? Zack lets out a small sigh and then raises his eyebrows, entreating. ]

So, what do you say? Name a price, if you've got one!

Sometimes.

[They weren't joined at the hip. At least, not all the time. Reno had definitely spent time away from Rude to learn how to fly... it was just their nature. They both wanted to one up each other. But they'd spent plenty of time showing off to one another, too. He supposed that was sort of like what Zack was getting at.]</small ...fine. You owe me.

[ An unnamed favor owed to a Turk? It's the exact sort of thing that could land Zack in some serious trouble one day, but he'll cross that bridge when he gets to it. He'd rather owe a favor to Rude than Reno, in any case. He's a little bit more... predictable. ]

Deal. [ Zack gives a thumbs-up, as if that's some kind of binding part of their verbal contract. ] So, when do we start?
