( video ) ☾ ❝ and i'll come running... ❞

[grandsummon]

Hello? Is it working? Can... anyone hear me? ( as she device seems to turn end over end, it eventually settles on the face of a young woman, looking a little distraught ) I've... heard from the moogles what's going on, but... ( she shakes her head )

Is it really true? That this is an otherworld from Spira entirely? This... isn't Zanarkand is it? They called it Traverse Town but I can't help but wonder if... ( she glances down, giving the viewers a bit of a better look at her as she does to. on top of the dark circles under her eyes -- it seems as though she has some pretty excellent bed-head going on... )

Ah! Maybe if I -- ( and with that, she raises her thumb and index finger to her mouth exhaling sharply to produce a loud whistle -- )

It's known as Traverse Town. My name is Ienzo; you are...?

[grandsummon]

Yuna. ( the bows in the prayer stance -- ) I am the summoner Yuna -- from the isle of Besaid.

[shadearchivist]

[Ienzo nods politely.]

Do you need any assistance?

[grandsummon]

Um. Well, I... was a little unsure about -- ( she looks up, as she camera's view focuses on a komory bat flitting about overhead, squeaking contentedly -- ) what to do with this creature, exactly...

[shadearchivist]

He will act as your guardian; you can play with him and feed him, and he will assist you in battle against the nightmares that are here.

[Ienzo looks away from the screen for a moment.]

Ah, here. This is a document that two of the residents created to explain the dream eaters and their habits.

[This link appears on the screen.]

[grandsummon]

Guardian...? ( oh dear; that word has more meaning here than you know ienzo!! which has her regarding the bat with a bit of a different look than before )

Oh! Thank you -- ( and she seems to be skimming over the link ) this is very helpful, I appreciate it.

But -- perhaps I should also ask... These machina -- the one I'm using to speak with you -- they're all right to use? Are there -- um -- Maesters here that approved of them?

[shadearchivist]

I'm not familiar with the term "Maesters" so I would venture to say that there aren't any here to approve or disapprove.

[grandsummon]

I see... ( and in a bit of a lower voice -- ) I was afraid of that...

( and then she speaks up again -- ) Then -- I don't suppose you could tell me what the quickest way back to Spira is, could you?

[shadearchivist]

I'm afraid not. Everyone has looked for a way home, but none is evident as of this point. I'd like to return to my home as well.

[grandsummon]

You mean -- ( she blinks -- ) you're from an otherworld as well? ( really, she shouldn't be all that surprised, seeing as how she just literally fell into one herself... but this is kind of up her alley, ienzo! )

[shadearchivist]

Everyone but the moogles is from a place other than this one; there are some of us from the same worlds, but this isn't home to any of us.

[Ienzo wasn't entirely sure about the moogles, either; they went where they liked, but there was no telling if they were natives of this place.]

[grandsummon]

( her eyes widen at the news; ) I... I never dreamed there were so many worlds! ( start with zanarkand maybe then work her way up, you know take it slow -- ) That's amazing.

[shadearchivist]

Most people aren't aware that there's anything beyond their own world; it can be quite a surprise.

[grandsummon]

I knew that it was possible, but... the sheer amount is surprising, certainly. It's almost as if there are endless possibilities...

[shadearchivist]

I suspect that there must be. There are as many worlds as there are stars in the sky.
