An Ivalacian Knight in King Death's Resort(?) [June 7, video]

[gallant_guardian]

[A woman opens the channel and peers grimly into the crystal. Though at the moment she doesn’t know yet that she’s turned it on. Instead, she seems to be indirectly addressing a person explaining what it does.]

So, this device is a means of conveying instantaneous information? I had heard such tales as possible, but could never scarce believe I would see such a marvel. Aside from Marach’s toad, surely.

[Her eyes narrow a bit and she begins talking into it as though it were a horn.]

Ah… if any should hear this, I would like for you to respond in kind. Though I have no reason to doubt the veracity of my guide’s claims, it would be very much to my benefit to bear witness to this marvel’s ability to transmit another’s visage. Surely were such a means common in Ivalice, the stratagems of the battlefield would greatly benefit.

[There’s a pause as the knight appears to be watching for any signs of life. After getting some, or perhaps after the thought had occurred, she decided to addL]

I have also heard that dissidents have brought war to the people of this city. I would like to speak with the commander in charge of administrating peace in order to assess how he plans on preparing the city and what other benefit I may be to their aid.

That will be all. For now.

Interesting. I would like to bear witness to these marvels. That is, were these people not in such a state of turmoil.

Well, there are definitely some of them here. Though I'm not sure if planes are still in use in this world, considering the madness and everything that's going on.

...And since they somehow have magic teleportation mirrors, we really won't need them.

[gallant_guardian]

Ah...

[She was going to interject... but interjecting into a mirror is kind of defeating the purpose.]

...it seems that they have quite the mastery in reflective surfaces.

video I really need to stop spamming that icon

[scatterflower]

Yeah, they really do. I... have no idea how it works. But I'm assuming it has similar origins to the whole thing where people can turn into weapons here.

video /looks at |D

[gallant_guardian]

You have seen that?

video

[scatterflower]

Seen people turn to weapons? Yep.

All the time, actually.

video oh wow my fail

[gallant_guardian]

I have yet to witness it.

video don't worry about it.

[scatterflower]

Don't worry about it, you'll see it eventually. I mean, you did just get here, right?

video

[gallant_guardian]

Yes, and there is so much to learn. Quickly, as it seems the enemy may already be among us.

video

[scatterflower]

... You mean that Erinyes group. They're just a bunch of idiots who don't see why pissing off the people brought in to help them is a really stupid idea.

It's not our fault BREW's insane and decided that the best way to help here was to change our abilities and make us start from scratch instead of just altering those abilities we already have and know how to use so that they work against the Kishin eggs and witches.

video

[gallant_guardian]

Is it?

[She DID only just get here...]

video

[scatterflower]

... Okay, Insane might be a bit too strong of a word. We don't know how BREW works though, or why it decided to do what it did.

But those other guys are just making the problems worse.

video

[gallant_guardian]

Of that I have no doubt. I have been told that members of both the current policing force and the group aptly named the Watch are currently assessing the situation and are in the process of taking steps to bring and end to these agitators.

video

[scatterflower]

Yeah. They are.

Hopefully they'll be able to stop them soon so we can focus on the other threats we're supposed to be here for.

video

[gallant_guardian]

'tis rather convenient, is it not? That the war within should coincide with the war beyond the walls?

[Or maybe she's just sensitive to conspiracy. She's had a long time to be victim to the scheming of men.]

video

[scatterflower]

Yeah. I bit. But as far as we know so far, they aren't connected. The Witches would kill them just like they'd kill us.

video

[gallant_guardian]

That proves naught but that the witches would be the one that would benefit from this schism.

video

[scatterflower]

Okay. Good point.

But at the very least, the members of that group don't think that the Witches are behind them.

video

[gallant_guardian]

Then perhaps they are puppets.

video

[scatterflower]

I guess that's possible...

Though I guess we won't know until we deal with them.

video

[gallant_guardian]

[Uh...]

...pray tell, how old are you, child?

video

[scatterflower]

[What did that have to do with anything?]

...I'm seventeen now.

video

[gallant_guardian]

[Oh, that's old enough. Loose the pigtails though, they make you look much younger than you should.]

Have you any training?

video

[scatterflower]

[But she liked the pigtails.]

Well, I had some martial arts training back home, but other than that I only have the training I got here and practical experience from missions.

video

[gallant_guardian]

[She nods, satisfied.]

Very well, then.
