Wh...What...?

Kupo! He's starting to come around!

[ Albel's laying on the ground, chained up with shackles going from his collar to his wrists. his voice is hoarse and he looks around at everything, letting his eyes adjust. the moogles of Traverse Town start to gather around him, making sure that he's okay. when they see that he's...pretty much okay, they start to let him know what's going on ]

Your world--

--What is this place?! Get away from me, you fools!

[ he sits up, glaring at them. they back off, then start to talk again. he quickly shuts them up ]

I said be quiet! Or do I have to slice your mouths off for you to get the point?!

[ now he's trying to get to his katana. pfft, being chained up? like that's going to stop him at all! ]

[Action]

[In the middle of the streets of Traverse Town, Saleh is on the ground on his back, still unconscious after his encounter with Hades. If anyone approaches him, they won't find any physical wounds on him. He's just lying there in a rather deep slumber.]

[Video]

[A while later, after Saleh has rested enough, he makes a public inquiry over the communication devices.]

I am wondering if anyone might know something. I've been placed under a curse by Hades, and I can't use any of my magic. Has anyone had this happen before? Is there a way to lift this curse, or is it temporary?

[There's a potentially familiar face on the feed this afternoon, if anyone remembers her arriving and asking for help in the middle of that invasion. She still looks composed, but more reserved. Perhaps a little withdrawn. She misses the Hikawa Shrine and her grandfather. She misses a lot of little things about being there. In fact, she's still in the miko robes she arrived in, seated on the floor somewhere.]

Back home, I lived at a shrine with my grandfather and we would sometimes make good luck charms for those who wanted them.

[She pauses, changing the perspective of the camera to focus on a few charms she's already made, laying neatly on the floor in front of her.]

It seems we could all use a little luck. We all have something we're fighting for, after all. It might not be much, but it seems right to offer to make them for anyone here who would like one. [The communicator turns around to face Rei again.]

I'll make one for you if you're interested.
