Fandom(s): Final Fantasy X-2. Character(s)/Pairing(s): Gippal, Baralai, Paine, Nooj. Gen. Vague story idea: Crimson Squad cyberpunk AU! As previously discussed, this story was written for the last round, but due to a lack of accompanying media, never got posted. I don't know if I'm writing anything new for this round, but I will definitely be posting this story, titled "Iron Sky".
I can offer a little snippet of the beginning of this story, which might tell you more about it than me rambling on:
Kinoc, Gippal has decided, is a windbag. He's a man (if barely old enough to claim that status) prone to making snap judgements but, as it happens, he's had ample time to consider, and then reconsider, this particular judgement -- and then drag it out again for a third hearing. It's been, according to the readout somewhere in the left hand corner of his vision, twenty minutes already. It feels like twice that. The Yevonites seem used to this kind of thing, but the Al Bhed in the ranks have been restless for a while now. The Al Bhed way is much more efficient: broadcast something, digest it at speed, store it for when it's needed, quite without burdening the normal (and limited) human capacity for short-term memory with it.
Gippal's gonna have to get used to this kind of thing, of course. The rest of his team, whoever they are, won't be up to the Al Bhed way of doing things for years, if ever. That's what they need him for.
