[There's one immediate thing to notice when this feed opens up - Zack is not as... slouched as he usually would sit. And he's not in his room. In fact, the SOLDIER is seated at the porch of his house, leaning back a little in the rocker and staring off into the bubble's shell.

It's the closest to sky-gazing he'll probably get, but he doesn't mind.

As the camera focuses more, it's apparent that his hair is now somewhat shorter, and the SOLDIER in itself is more built than he had been a few days ago. He turns his head, looking down at the device before picking it up, and there's a bit of facial hair to peek out as well. From appearances and demeanor alone, it's almost as if several years had passed since his last broadcast...]

Sorry. I should call more often.

[He smiles warmly, setting the SFC aside to heft up the Buster Sword, also pulling out a used rag to gently polish the weapon.]

How are you guys?

...well... you'd just have to practice a lot more! And get stronger! Because you'd have to be very strong to use it.

[ Yukimura continues to consider this with surprising seriousness. ]

Oh, oh, and you'd have to defend a lot better, because you'd be slower than with a smaller weapon! ...I always forget about defending...

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you haven't missed the point after all! Good on you.

I try to listen to my instructors! They are very wise!

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? So if I went and tracked any of them down, they'd tell me you were a model student?

[ Puffs up, trying to look as much of a "model student" as a can. ]

I try to be! Very hard!

[hisdreamsmyfate.livejournal.com]

Now, that's not a model student! You look more like a ruffled Chocobo.

... like a what?

[ He deflates some, but he's too confused to be properly offended. ]
