solidbarrels: (Dissidia ♛ Final Strike)
[ The feed clicks on, but this time it's intentional (as if Squall's trying to prove something). Squall's hands are shaking just slightly enough to be almost unnoticeable. His voice is however firm as he calls out, flinging his arm out toward the side ]

Flamewheel!

[ Cyndaquil launches into action, immediately charging toward the tired looking Drifloon that floats nearby. The mouse's body is engulfed by flames right before it makes contact, the Drifloon wails, knocked back by the force, crumpling onto the ground. Squall immediately throws a pokeball at it, a slight (very slight and devious) smirk of victory, on his face ]

Gotcha!

[ The pokeball shakes and shudders as the red light flashes before finally stopping. Squall walks over, bending down to pick it up just as another pokemon comes barreling by. The SeeD grabs his newly caught pokemon and straightens. The new pokemon making another sweep before rushing toward Squall as if to try and tackle him over. Instead, it grows transparent and passes through the teen, inciting a hard shudder as coldness sweeps through his body.

[ Squall snarls and orders his starter ]


Ember! Smokescreen! Flamewheel it!

Cyn, Cyn, Cyndaquilllll!!!!

[ Smoke engulfs the entire area after the the fire-type throws an ember attack at the ghost pokemon (Dusk Dusk Dusk Duskull!!) who is apparently laughing at them. Squall's growl is heard followed by more commands for Cyndaquil to uses. It takes a while but the smoke finally clears and instead of a knocked out ghost, it's Cyndaquil in a dead faint. Squall mutters to himself ]

Hyne dammit. So not my day.


Tch, Return! Don't lose, Fish.

[ After calling back his fainted Cyndaquil, Squall grabs his other pokeball from his belt and throws it, releasing a Magikarp of all things into battle. He glances back at his pokegear and cocks an eyebrow before calling out ]

Suzuki. You once said something good might come from my fish? Watch this.

[ Squall smirks outright at the camera and stands back as his Magikarp alternates between splashing and tackling. The Duskull just continues to laugh, howling different sentences while the fish determinedly tries to attack. Soon enough a bright glow starts to emerge from within the Magikarp, blinding everyone nearby. When the light fades...]

GYYAAARRAA, GYARAAADOOOS!!

[ The large dragon pokemon snarls and roars, even at Squall who merely looks away and back at the pokegear. A smug, if tired, look is on his face ]

About damn time, isn't it?

[ Squall chuckles, shaking his head before calling out his first command. ]

Bite!

[ The Duskull finally stops laughing, staring fearfully at the large gaping mouth of the dragon, not even trying to dodge as the Gyarados does exactly what its trainer says, repeatedly, until the Duskull is finally knocked out.

[ Squall throws the pokeball at the fainted ghost and watches the process closely. With a final click of the pokeball, he walks over to pick it up. His newly evolved Dragon stares at him for a moment before immediately launching at the SeeD, almost as if determined to try and bite Squall's head off. ]




[[ OoC: Cecil-mun! If you want Cecil to be hovering nearby while this happens, you're totally free to do so. :) ]]
solidbarrels: (FFVIII ♞ Despair)
[ the video feed turns on and the first thing the viewer will see is Cyndaquil's face up close and personal. It looks frantic before it starts screaming into the pokegear ]

Cynda! Cyndaquil!! CynCyn DaQuil CyndaQuil QuilQuil! CynCynCyn Da Cyndaquil! QuilQuilQuil DaDaDa, Cynda Quil?!

[ Waving its arms, it points the camera toward its trainer. Squall looks like he hasn't had any sleep in days (weeks). He muttering to himself. Out loud. There's a wild, bewildered (even fearful) expression on his face. His fingers are digging into his right shoulder. He's without his jacket (and gloves) for once and if someone manages to look close, they might notice the faint burn marks on his wrists. ]

Not Dead. Not Dead. They're alive, they're not dead. They're not gone. Didn't fail them. Didn't let them down. Made sure they'd be safe. That's not them. Can't be them. Not them. Can't be them.

She's not here. Not here, not here, not here!! This isn't her castle. This isn't her trophy room. Not her castle. Not her castle. Not there. Not there. Not dead. They're alive. They're living. They're fine. Not dead, not dead.

[ He grips his head with both hands, shaking it furiously. The Cyndaquil cries out again but its trainer ignores him--apparently this had been going on since last night...]

Didn't fail. Didn't let them down. Didn't fail them. I protected them. all of them. Didn't I? Didn't I? Made sure of it. Made damn sure of it. Had to. I had to. I had to protect them. Be strong. I needed to be strong. For her. For them. For all of them. Wasn't I? Wasn't I?


[ Suddenly Squall's head lifts and he yells out, one arm flinging toward the side ]


Those aren't their bodies!! I didn't fail anyone!!


[ He quiets almost immediately, his eyes widen as if he's seeing something else in front of him.]

Hyne... No...

Cynda!! Cyndaquil!! Quil Quil Cynda!

[ The feed cuts as Squall collapses onto the ground, shaking his head fervently and his Cyndaquil looks pleadingly at the camera--obviously wanting someone to help its trainer.]



[[ ooc: Squall's reliving a twisted memory of Ultimecia's castle with dead (and decaying) bodies littering everywhere. They're ranging from his fellow classmates, to his friends in FF8 to even the Cosmos Warriors. He's also remembering the time Rinoa was trapped in space and in a coma. :> And possibly his sis 'abandoning' him, too, when he was like four. >>;]]
solidbarrels: (Dissidia ♞ Surprised)
[ the camera feed turns on, a black figure rushes forward, his back toward the camera/pokegear. in the distance is a bright light (look! Cyndaquil's evolving!). Squall stops before kneeling down, head turned away from the bright light. Then the light fades ]

Cynda?

[ Squall's head drops (nope, no evolution for you today, Mr. Broodypants). He shakes his head before speaking up, his tone dry ]

You are... something. Just when I thought you'd...

[ He sighs before he falls onto the ground with a loud thud. He groans, staring up at the fire-type that is now sitting on his stomach with arms crossed and head back and forth from side to side ]

Quil Quil! Cyn Quil Da Quil, Cynda. Cynda?

Right. (Let's pretend I understand that.)

[ The SeeD scoffs before standing up, his pokemon still in his arms before heading over to reach his pack (and his pokegear). ]

Are you guys... supposed to want to evolve?

[ Squall eyes his starter warily just as the feed cuts ]
solidbarrels: (Fanart ♞ Determined)
[ He's not even going to bother with the privacy lock for this, though if he had the time, Squall might actually would have. ]

Warrior. Firion. Zidane.

[ Squall's tone is brisk, authoritative and firmly blunt. To some, he might actually sound like as if he's addressing an army and maybe he is. He's not thinking too much except what his duty is. He's acting like the SeeD Commander he is (unconsciously, unintentionally), which might come off as a surprise to those who knew him in the Conflict. He never did told anyone or acted in anyway that he was a Commander of SeeD. ]

On my way to Cecil. Will keep you updated.

Leonhart out.
