video; August 12, early evening
[ Ashelia is sitting in her room, straight-backed as ever. The edge of her deep red peasant blouse can be seen a couple inches below her collarbones. Thankfully, she's chosen to doff her frankly gigantic red mage hat, the tip of the feather barely visible in the frame behind her. ]
You're sure it is working? How is one supposed to - ah, I see.
[ Ahem. ]
Good evening, everyone. I hope this message finds you well.
You're not writing a letter, it's a video! Relax!
[ The moogle gets a sharp look that says, "don't interrupt me." It works. ]
Firstly, I owe several people an apology. I deceived you; my name is not Alma Beoulve. I am Queen Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca. I am newly come to Vaikuntha, but before being brought here I was one of a number of Heroes of Light on Crystallis.
[ She looks down for a moment, brows furrowing. This is clearly hard for her.
'Twas not my intention to lie. I simply felt...as though I could not continue on as myself. I was amongst the first group of Heroes to be brought to Crystallis, but was taken by the Calamity before seeing the conflict through to its end. As the founder of the Heroes' Guild, I failed my comrades. I was ashamed. I still am. However, there is work to be done, and thus I appear to you all in this manner.
[ Ashelia takes a sip of water before continuing. ]
I now see, as I learn to use this device, that the girl Ashelia has appeared to others. The true identity of the girl is Princess Sarah of Aqures Ixen, the kingdom the Heroes of Light first appeared in. She appeared to me in the garden the day I arrived here.
She...she is scared. She seemed scared. [ She shakes her head. That's not the point. ] She is being kept by someone. Who knows the danger she puts herself in when she visits us. [ Though, sneaking out against the wishes of others is very in character for the young girl. There's the beginning of a smile at the corners of Ashelia's lips and eyes before she continues on. ]
As for the identity of her captor, I couldn't say for sure, though I have my guesses. The Princess said her captor is a woman who has forgotten happiness. And wants everything to end. We...we must save her. If nothing else, she once again holds the answer to the riddle that is Vaikuntha. I promised her I would come for her. I intend to keep that promise.
[ There's a pause as she considers whether or not to say this last bit. ]
She also asked me to look after you all. I gave her my word that I would, and I do keep my word. Just...know that.

However, it has been acting... strangely. Though I have heard nothing regarding any of these happenings from the Mognet Office itself, there is at least one person in this Linkshell who is neither an outworlders nor an employee, to my knowledge.

However, my colleague, Lean Fende, and I are in the process of addressing them to see what we can find. They could be entirely harmless, but it worries me that they appeared on the Linkshell list and no one seems to recognise it.
[ Especially given it was days after seeing that... Dream... ]

[ Oh gosh. Lean. She probably owes him a more direct apology. ]
I thank you for bringing this to my attention...?

It's of no trouble, our responsibility as representatives of Curti Center is to make the transition for you as smooth as possible, and answer your questions to the best of our ability.
Unfortunately, we are still learning how to do so even after four months.
[ You know Sylvarie, she was probably asking for your name. ]
