[6th Scene] [Video]

[silver_lucifer]

[There's a moment where things are silent except for the singing hum of a Vibrava's wings; half of his team's visible - Bahamut hovering behind flickering in and out of view, Karma in his arms - looking like a halfway respectable fish instead of the saddest zombie-fish ever, while Iago the Arbok has his head resting on Kuja's shoulder like an oversized scaly dog. He's still not fond of large broadcasts, particularly when he's honestly a bit upset, but he knows Zidane had to know other people in Johto - and Zidane is still the best exception to his uneven relationship with things like "responsibility" and "morals".]


If anyone in Johto knew my brother, Zidane Tribal -

He's been sent home; there's no sign of his pokémon that I've seen, but if anyone finds them, I would appreciate word that they're alright. [And he can't even say he knows whether or not Zidane is alright, considering what he understands so far of this 'Cycle of Conflict'.]

[Already uncomfortable with being this public with it, there's another pause before the cuts off the feed.]

[] Dead. Planet.

And my home had wards such that the only ways into most of it were a couple of teleporters you had to be keyed to. They still got in.

...That's... really creepy. [Like, feeling like she needs to go take a bath in bleach creepy. She's never going to look at Montblanc the same ever again.] I know I'm going to have nightmares about moogles now.

[silver-lucifer.livejournal.com]

Who knows. Maybe you could get some answers when you get home by leaving something to lure out any lurking moogles. []

[usedfeint.livejournal.com]

I can just see it now- leaving food out for the moogles and going "I know you're out there!" at basically nothing. [Sadly it's not that bad of an idea.]

[silver-lucifer.livejournal.com]

I'd say more "leave food out and hide in wait", particularly if there's someplace with a lot of reports of small things going missing or things being moved when no-one is looking. I'm almost surprised they don't seem to've found a way to Johto.

I don't want to see a moogle in Johto right now. I just don't. Maybe the next thing my clan will go after when I get back to the dream Ivalice is a nice big moogle clan. With time mages. [Because clearly the way to deal with being creeped out by moogles is to beat a bunch of troublemaking ones in a fight.]

You know, with the way Johto works with new arrivals - those who weren't human getting turned human, and magic no longer working - I imagine they'd run into the same difficulty as anyone else here, if they had a way to try to get here intentionally. []

[How about both?] I'm not sure if that's creepy or comforting... [She's going to just- shake her head.]

[silver-lucifer.livejournal.com]

It does make me wonder...

Obviously some principles of a form of magic work in Johto - and whatever is bringing people here, is basically enforcing the 'local rules' on everyone from elsewhere, to the point of even physical transformation.

I wonder if whatever principles are at work here might not be something that would have similarities to what's in effect on your world, with magic being limited?

[...........That is a wholly disturbing concept, Kuja, and she's glad she doesn't have anything in her hand or else she would have dropped it.]

That might mean that someone- or something with a lot of power is at work back home. And that it might not be friendly to people who happen to like having Viera and Bangaa and Nu Mou and-- everything around. [She did just go pale. I think you hit on something that genuinely scares her, Kuja.]

[silver-lucifer.livejournal.com]

It would, again, make that book something important - if those ideas came from somewhere, and were things that were once on Ivalice, then not only is that book a print record of information - and powerful in that right - it's also one of the few examples of working magic that's in some kind of loophole. [] You learned some magic while in Dream Ivalice, yes?

[usedfeint.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Cure and Fire. [It's still- something bigger than her that might not be able to be really... fought by a blunt instrument. And that scares her, because she's still in a very 'blunt instrument' mentality.]
