A/N: I'm back, a little later on, but a little wiser. I am writing a serious fic about Sora and Riku as well as a Yu-gi-oh! fic, so my time is being divided between my work. I also have to finish my friends birthday fic...
Chapter Two: I Can Sing?!
Th group was sitting down at the SHIN-RA table from Final Fantasy VII, texting about the script. The head executives were trying to explain the story line to the moogles, while Sora and Riku tried helping the others to understand it better.
"So, you see, that's why you all look like kids," Sora clarified. Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus nodded.
[That's why I look older, too?] Squall asked.
"Exactly," Riku said, "Also, that's why some of you have different outfits, like your cool wing for example, Sephiroth."
[Ahh, I see.] Seperoth decided.
[Then... why do you need four of me?] Vivi asked.
"Well, you see, you and Cerberus, who co-stared in Hercules, are complete villains in this story, and there will be a lot of you," Sora said gently.
Vivi looked up at him, slightly saddened at the revelation that he would not be loved by more adoring fans. [Alright,] he remarked sighing.
"I," Sora announced grinning, "will play the protagonist, a happy-go-lucky kid who accidentally becomes the wielder of a magical sword, the keyblade!"
Riku leaned over and whispered in Yuffie's ear, "That sorta thing always goes to his head! He's constantly braggin' about it!"
[I know what you mean, Cloud was such a ham. Even though they turned me into a slight villain, everyone liked me, too!] However, little did Yuffie remember that Final Fantasy VII text boxes are always blue, and dark, so no one can tell if you are whispering or not.
[What was that?] an angered Cloud asked in a very "Zell-like" manner.
A girl with black-red hair walked in, wearing a lavender skirt. She looked pretty angry, and kept mumbling something about "no personality," or something of the sort. She looked up, forced a smile on her face, sighed once, and began to speak. "Everyone! I am very pleased to announce that you all have voices!"
There was a collective gasp in the room, and no text boxes were seen. Kairi sincerely smiled and continued, "No, if you would be so kind as to give me your full attention, I will be happy to show you how to talk."
Wakka stood up, "I don't need you to show me how to--" he paused. His voice sounded different... extremely different. He looked around desperately trying to find an answer "why is my voice so very strange?" *
Tidus burst out laughing. Wakka's voice sounded like an American who was a wanna-be Jamaican with something all together different mixed in. "At least my voice sorta sounds the same," he announced under some snickers, "Just younger. I mean, I am playing a kid after all, you don't sound like a kid or and adult!"
"What is this, mon? Mon? I can't say mon... No, not mon... mon with an 'a,' like 'You con do it!' NO! What is this my 'a's sound like 'o's. I sound like a person on an anime... like Pokèmon or something! Oh mon!"
Tidus began to laugh again. "I-I-I- my stomach hurts so much. This is great, I'd pay money to see this daily," he cried.
"Stop it! Stop maiking fun of me, Tedus! Tedus?! Why can't I say anything right? What is all of this..."
Kairi shook her head. "Sorry Wakka, that's your voice."
"No. This isn't happening... mon. Grrr."
"Now, if you will come up to me, I will show you that basics.
*** fifteen minutes later ***
"Wow, that wasn't so hard," Yuffie said. "The hardest thing is moving your mouth with the words."
"I'm feeling kind of dark..." Squall said, "like a vampire or something... yeah... a god vampire... Weird, huh?" **
"I really don't like my voice all that much," Selphie said flatly, "but at least I can sing for real, now. Train, train, take us away. Take us far, far away. To the future we will go, where will stop, no one knows..."
"You know, the weirdest thing about being a vampire with a soul has to be the fact that they don'r have reflections." Squall decided.
"Whatever you say, Sonny. Liz, come back! I hate you Xander! What?!" Cloud almost screamed. He'd been going on some tirade about Coffee bean importing for a few minutes already. **
"What was that?" Yuffie asked him, slightly concerned.
"I don't know... my mouth just starts moving before I can control it, and I keep having visions of a peir and a warehouse... I think I'm in control now... Carley. Er... Yuffie."
"Well, let's go help Squall, seems he's slightly confused, too." She grabbed a mirror out of Aerith's purse, which was on the table, waiting to be pilfered.
"Look," she said coldly, "You have a reflection!"
"So I do..." Squall said, entering deep thought. "That was bizarre. It seems I was taken over by my voice actor, huh?"
"Or maybe you're living out a fantasy?" Selphie chimed in.
A moogle came running past the group, and then stoped and turned around. [Where is Sephiroth?] it asked.
"Slow down, little one, what's your name?" Yuffie asked.
"POM-POM!" Selphie cried, reaching out.
[err... I'm Mogrita,] she replied, uneasy.
"Well, Sephiroth isn't here," Cloud said.
[Oh, then I wonder where he is. He doesn't know that he only has a bit part in the game... and they're scared to tell him.] She pointed at the other moogles, huddled in a corner, shaking nervously. [They said something about a BIG sword. But Sephiroth is an optional battle, so I hope he will understand. Personally, I think he will.]
"Well, we haven't seen him," Squall stated.
[Alright then, I'll see you all later.] She began to flap her little wings and hovered off towards Aerith, at top speeds.
Aerith was in the corner singing to herself**, when Mogrita came over for a chat.
"What is it, Mogrita?" she asked, immediately recognizing which moogle she was out of the big bunch.
[Have you seen Sephiroth? I need to talk to him!]
"No, not recently. I did see him leave the conference room a while ago, though. Maybe he went to the bathroom or something?"
[Maybe, I'll go see if I can find him
a sad Vivi and an angry Cid went over to her.
[Can you help us talk,] Vivi asked.
"Sure," she said in a very calming voice. "Just open your mouth, and force the words from that instead of your text boxes.
Cid decided to try first. He closed his eyes in concentration, said a quick prayer and went for it. His mouth opened, [I...], he started. [I...]. He struggled to continue, [I... can't do it,] he finally decided.
An executive walked over to him. "Vivi, Cid you're just the guys I'm looking for. Seems you won't be getting voice actors, alright!" He flashed a cheesy grin, and spoke with an odd voice. He sounded like he was one of those guys on a game show that tells you what you didn't win.
[Sigh...] Cid said.
[Yeah... I'm so sad now,] Vivi added.
Suddenly the lights went out. The group was left in the dark. Some kind of noise was heard, as a spotlight appeared on the door to the conference room. Music began to play, and something was seen in the window near the doorway. Out of nowhere, Sephiroth jumped into the light.
"Bye, Bye, Bye!" he sang. He began to put his hand in front of him and wave three times. Then he pretended he had a lasso, swung it over his head and jumped. He continued with the "Bye Bye Bye" dance.
"Don't wanna be a fool for you, just another player in this game for two. 'Cause you may hate me, but it ain't no lie, baby. Bye, Bye, Bye!" Sephiroth's eyes slowly widened after once again waving to the people in the room. "What the hell am I doing?" he asked. The lights came back on immediately, and the crowd was left speechless.
[I think you're better off not knowing,] Mogster said.
[Yeah!] Lil' Bro added.
"Just tell me..."
"Well, Sephiroth, you let your Voice actor get the best of you. That happened to me once," Sora explained. "I still have nightmares about those dead people." **
"I'm dead," Aerith remarked. At that Sora ran out of the room screaming.
"You are just too mean!" Selphie cried, laughing.
Mogrita ran up to the gray-haired man. [Mr. Sephiroth, sir, I have something to tell you...]
~~~~ To be continued...
* In the Japanese version Tidus and Wakka have the same voices as in Final Fantasy X, but in America they are both new.
** Squall's voice actor is David Boreanaz, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, as a vampire. Steve Burton, best known as Jason from General Hospital, does Cloud's voice. Aerith is voiced by Mandy Moore. Sephiroth had *NSYNC's own Lance Bass to speak for him. Actually, Lance didn't do that bad! Sora got a major voice talent, surprisingly enough. That's right, Haley Joel Osment, from the 6th Sense (he was that kid) lent his voice to the staff.
Well, that was fun, ne? More soon.
Don't forget to tune into our final chapter! Next time: The Final Fantasy charicters meet up with the Disney ones. Who will befriend whom? Who will be mortal enemies? Will Mogrita survive Sephiroth's wrath? All this on the Final chapter of Casting Call: M-I-C-K-E - Shut UP!
