:frust: Noooooo

Award Chocobo: Now, to get him here, I think I just have to make a call to Atomos, he's good with this space-time stuff...

Award Chocobo whips out his PHS and after a warky phonecall, a strange portal appears and Gilgamesh jumps out of it, spinning acrobatically.

Gilgamesh: Behold, it is I! Gilgamesh! Dimensional traveler! What weapon shall I steal from this realm!

Award Chocobo: This is the Final Fantasy multiverse and you are in our Opera House! No weapons to steal here! I mean... uh... wark!

Gilgamesh: No weapons! What a strange thing to hear. What do you do with your time here if there is nothing to collect!

Award Chocobo: We like to talk about Final Fantasy here. In fact we just called you here to give out the award for the most mysterious Final Fantasy character!

Gilgamesh: Ah! The most mysterious in all the universe, why that must be me of course!

Award Chocobo: Wark! Nope, you aren't even on the list! *waves the nominees list in his talon*

Gilgamesh: What? Give me that!

Gilgamesh snatches the nominees list, reads it over, and rips it up.

Gilgamesh: Haha! You fool! Now that I have destroyed your precious list, you cannot continue with this proceeding and will have no choice but to name me the Most Mysterious!

Award Chocobo: Nope! Kweh! I have the list memorized. First on the list is Amarant Coral, from Final Fantasy IX! He's on the list for being a quiet mysterious monk type!

Gilgamesh: Quiet! Why, that is easy! Watch! ...

...


...


Haha! See I am better than this, Amarant Coral!

Award Chocobo: Next on this list was Auron, from Final Fantasy X! That badass dude was on for his speak of stories, fate, and destiny! Kweh!

Gilgamesh: Destiny? I've live my life bound to destiny, for it is my fate to collect all of the rarest weapons! What is more mysterious than that fate? That destiny?

Award Chocobo: After that was Chocolina from Final Fantasy XIII-2! That mysterious girl loves us chocobos and almost always cosplays as one of us! Why, there are even rumours that she used to be a Chocobo...

Gilgamesh: That isn't mysterious! It's just weird!

Award Chocobo: After that was Gogo from Final Fantasy VI! So little is known about Gogo we don't even know his or her gender! KWEH!

Gilgamesh: Do you not remember my speech from Final Fantasy V? I'm not even sure I have a gender! ...Er, wait a minute, is this live? Can we edit that out?

Award Chocobo: Our list then moved on to Louisoix from Final Fantasy XIV! This guy speaks as if he was from Middle Earth thou thinkest!

Gilgamesh: Nay! Thou do not speakth of a difficult task! Harken to me! Complex linguistics is so simple a knave could do it!

Award Chocobo: After Louisoix was Red XIII from Final Fantasy VII! This guy was going to be able to breed with a human despite being a dog... thing...

Gilgamesh: That's just gross!

Award Chocobo: And I could never forgot the assassin Shadow from Final Fantasy VI! Where does that guy go randomly when he leaves your party! No one knows!

Gilgamesh: And what do I do in those dimensional rifts? Explain that!

Award Chocobo: The final member was Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy VII! He was a vampire, that could transform into a zombie, or a demon, or that guy from the Halloween movies!

Gilgamesh: I suppose that is pretty mysterious.

Award Chocobo: Sure is! Would you like to read the winner?

Gilgamesh: Sure.

Gilgamesh grabs the winner envelop from Award Chocobo and looks at it, then at Award Chocobo, then back at the envelope, then back at Award Chocobo.

Gilgamesh: You have this memorized, don't you?

Award Chocobo: Yup!

Gilgamesh: *sighs* No point in being stubborn I suppose. The winner is...

I'm having a hard time keeping up with these Ciddies.

Shadow

Not Gogo? Seriously, the voting for this has surprised me to no end.

The dreams made him a lot less mysterious to be fair!

Most Influential Character

The Nominees
Cecil Harvey - FFIV · Cloud Strife - FFVII · Edgar Roni Figaro - FFVI · Laguna Loire - FFVIII · Sephiroth - FFVII · Terra Brandford - FFVI · Zack Fair - FFVII:CC · Zidane Tribal - FFIX

Please give a warm welcome to the presenter of this award...
Judge Gabranth

I find the lack of Gogo disturbing.

Gabranth: Thank you everyone. It's great to be here tonight, a night where I might just finally prove myself greater than Basch. At least I get to present an award tonight, and... what was that? He was actually NOMINATED for an award?! GAH! EVERY! FREAKING! TIME! I mean, I look the same as the guy, I sound the same as the guy, but oh, he's the big hero! I'm the murderer. It's so unfair. I - I was tricked into it all along! Yeah! Grrr. And he still treats me nicely, which just makes it even more annoying. Always the nice guy. Oh well. I gotta admit, he's influenced my life a lot, makes me wonder why he wasn't nominated for this award. Woah, am I still talking about this? Urgh. Okay.

The nominees for Most Influential Character are:

Cecil Harvey, a gallant Paladin who's story was told at such detail that it captured the minds of a generation of scribes, who from that point would continue to provide such insightful stories of future heroes and heroines.

Cloud Strife, arguably the most well known hero of our kind and a person who drove stories of our conquests into the minds of millions.

Edgar Roni Figaro, a king of such influence that he would lead a nation on a fight against impossible odds, and win.

Laguna Loire, who brought a nation so far ahead of every other nation in his world that it seemed like walking from one century to another when you entered it.

Sephiroth, another extremely well known character of Cloud's world, yet interestingly a villain in this case whose long hair, trenchcloak and Masamune sword would strike terror in children when told "If you don't do this, Sephiroth is gonna get you" by angry parents.

Terra Branford, the first female heroine to take a central role in saving a world in our multiverse.

Zack Fair, who it could be argued influenced Cloud to such a great degree that Cloud for some time thought he was Zack.

Finally, Zidane Tribal, who has a tail.

And the winner is...

I voted for Gogo!

Also what dreams?

Hahaha.

Zidane is very influential in that every city he arrives in promptly gets utterly annhilated.

Shadow's dreams. You've never seen them? Look 'em up on YouTube.
