Summary: Three Guys and a Memory
Location: Opera House MEMORIA
Date: Bright pink swooshy thing day
Warnings: Inside these minds can be scary

Locke was thinking about Sabin's arrival, Kefka's disappearance, and other mundane things when the sky went pink and shimmered. He knew this place. This was the Opera House where they met Impressario.

He couldn't believe how little it had changed. He had thought it would have been destroyed by Kefka, but here it was. He remembered the staircase, the red seats, and the dressing room where Celes had transformed into Maria.

Today was turning out to be a great day. He was looking forward to checking on his friends when he spotted two other guys.

Locke wondered where the castle was when you really needed it as it sure would have been nice to have ridden to the gates. "I think I prefer the caves to the sand."

He joined Vossler in helping to open the gate, "I wonder what's in there."

Cid looked around the city and saw the gate and began to help with the effort. However, when Cid touched it only a slight bit, the gate released as Cid fell in face first. The area around him was very odd, an underground chamber where a very odd shapings and colored rocks. Something not native or even normal in most places. But to Cid, this was something far more interesting.

The mechanic pulled down his visor and started scanning the place, seeing nothing was there. However when he lifted it back up, he noticed a train right in front of him. Cid grinned as he stated, "There, it's done!" He proceeded to hug the train (to which the other two men would be seeing Cid hugging a rock) and added, "Elizabeth! You're finished! My greatest accomplishment, the pride of my work!" He rubbed his face up against the train and babbling silly nonsense to it. It was almost as if he was in love with this machine

"This is no coincidence," Vossler pointed out, watching as Cid familiarized himself with the nearest rock in the cave--a cave that was obviously not the royal city of Rabanastre.

"But who would wish to cast such a curse? And over three strangers, no less." He was still new to Gaia, but somehow he was certain that Ashe, Rasler, Ondore or even Al-Cid would have filled him in ahead of time if this sort of thing were a common occurrence.

Locke stared at the man rubbing against a rock. "It doesn't make any sense." He pondered what was happening to them. He simply couldn't imagine any reason to subject them to such nice memories. The only thing he'd have changed would have been to share them with someone close.

Still staring at Cid, he asked aloud, "Who do you think this Elizabeth is?"

Cid continued to be fascinated with his train, he was proud of this machine and all it could do. A giant smile came across his face as he stated, "With you, everything will be better. Everything!" He managed to grab a rag that was close by to him and began to polish up the train slightly (Reality, he's just rubbing a rock onto the bigger rock). He was completely happy in his own mind.

However everything snapped back to him as the train vanished and reality kicked in. Cid blinked at the rock, then glanced back at the other two, then back at the rock. A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he stated, "Let me guess, I was acting strange wasn't I?" He knew the answer, problem was everything felt so...real

Vossler made no reply to Locke's question, assuming Elizabeth to be Cid's lover, what with the way he was rubbing the rock. He looked off to the side when the second rock came into play Clearly this was a more private memory than the ones shared thus far. It wasn't until Cid finally seemed to snap out of it again that Vossler returned his attention toward the blond.

"It appears none of us are spared the re-telling of past experiences." And then to Locke. "Perhaps if we move quickly, we will be able to find an exit now that each of us has fallen victim to this curse."

While their journey had only barely begin, Locke was already prepared to leave. "There can't be much more to this. Let's hurry." He guessed that they needed to continue forward as they began to leave their current location.

The mechanic nodded and stated, "If this place is making us live through our own experiences then it must be reading our minds." A pensive thought before stating, "I'm curious to wonder what else will drag our from them." The thought was quite nerve racking." But before he could continue he saw the thief begin to head off as he called out, "H-Hey Locke! Wait you don't know-" The boy shook his head as he followed after him.

He didn't like this place, but he was right, they had to keep moving, forward.
