oo2 ☾ WANTED: WHITE MAGES ☾ VIDEO

[ After the final round of the Hades Cup, Cecil is absolutely exhausted, despite not having actually been a participant. His weariness can be rather obvious to even the most casual of observers. He had planned to write this incoming message up in a very formal, official sort of manner, but he's simply too tired right now to contribute much effort and concentration to the task of typing, which is still, to him, somewhat difficult. Thus, everyone gets a video stream instead from the paladin. ]

In light of the fiasco that is the Hades Cup Tournament in the Underdome, I believe it is prudent of us to organize a class of skilled healers as well as volunteers wishing to help with the care of other refugees, in case of another incident like this. There are still people in need of medical attention here, both champions and spectators alike, and it seems we do not have the proper numbers to deal with an event this large and/or worse.

On a related note, I'm aware that a peace-keeping force has been formed. While I am grateful for this, I would like to offer my help to train others in basic self-defense, since our esteemed IDPD members cannot be everywhere at once, even with their excellent planning.

[ Yes, Cecil is being very careful not to offend the police force. He doesn't want to infringe on anyone's territory, but he likens the whole atmosphere of the worlds in the light realm to that of wartime and during wartime, everyone has to be prepared for the worst.

He's about to conclude his broadcast when a thought strikes him and the fact that he's just remembered it can be seen by how his eyes widen and his mood and voice lighten just a little. ]

Lastly, I apologize in advance for the... off-topic nature of my next question. Please excuse my rudeness and irresponsibility, but I seem to recall a message being sent out regarding a social event of some sort. I seem to have lost the invitation, so if anyone would please explain that, I appreciate the kindness.

[ No, he's not planning to take Rosa to the party and pressure Kain into going too. Of course not! ...Only he very much is, on both accounts. ]

[Hello shiny paladin person! Marle's very eager to answer, just because Traverse Town is so boring and Lucca's being all sciency with the communicator again.]

I'm able to heal people! I'd be more than willing to help.

[ ]

What is your name, miss?

I'm Marle. It's nice to meet you!

And you, Miss Marle. Are you a healer utilizing white magic or medicine?

Magic. But I've patched myself up more times than I can count when ethers are low.

I am a doctor with some healing ability.

If you can tell me where this Underdome is and how I might reach it from Traverse town, I can make my way there and tend to those who are in need of medical aid?

Citan. [ ] Thank you for volunteering. I'd no idea you were a healer. The Underdome is on the world of the Olympus Coliseum. You can secure transport here by way of the Gummi Ship Station there in Traverse Town. You'll need a bit of the munny the moogles gave you upon your arrival.

[Citan returns the smile briefly and gives a short nod of acknowledgement.] I shall endeavor to make my way there then.

[And he's silently grateful to you for providing him an excuse to sate his curiosity about the ships at the same time as well, or at least check them out as he's making use of one at least.]

[Hesitant, since she's still not sure she's using this device correctly.]

I am freshly arrived, yet I possess healing magicks for those in need.

[ ]

Ah... I apologize, miss, for not having offered my aid or even a greeting to you when you first arrived here. Are you a trained white mage?

There is no need to apologize.

[Mjrn grows more self-conscious at the staring, not quite used to that reaction just yet. She nods to the question, though.]

I have learned a fair amount of white magicks, enough to heal and revive allies, as well as cure status ailments.

[ ]

We could certainly use your skills. Are you still in Traverse Town? Do you know how to move from world to world?

[She nods to the first question, but pauses at the second.]

I have not yet traveled from this world. Is it difficult?

No. There is transportation available to public civilians. You must have the currency that the moogles gave to you when you arrived first and purchase a ticket to board one of these gummi ships that transport people from planet to planet.

[ ]

Gummi ships are — Do you have airships on your world?

[She nods hesitantly.]

I have seen them from a distance, yet there was no opportunity to use that method of travel. But it matters not; I shall board one of these gummi ships, if I may be of aid elsewhere.

[ ]

Thank you, miss...?

[ ]

My name is Mjrn.

[And to answer the inevitable questions....]

I am a Viera, of Ivalice.

[ ]

Oh...

[ ]

...You don't have to explain yourself to me, Mjrn; I'm aware that humans are not the only sentient peoples found across the worlds. I myself am half-Lunarian.

[ ]

I was only surprised because you reminded me of... some friends from home.

...I do?

[Mjrn tilts her head, intrigued.]

You are the first to have said so. None I have encountered so far have seen my kin or similar to them, until we met. Where do they originate? And...what is a Lunarian?

[He seems but a Hume to her eyes, save for the odd hair coloring.]

[ ] Mm. The Hummingway. They do not resemble humans as much as you do, so I'm not sure I would call them similar or akin to your people, but your ears are very much like theirs.

[ ] I suppose we all miss our homes enough that we're subconsciously looking for anything that reminds us of where we come from, even if there's not a lot to grasp onto.

The Lunarians are a race of people from another world. They sleep on one of the two moons in the sky above our Blue Planet, but some of them came down before I was born to share their knowledge of magic and technology with the native kingdoms. Before that, there were no airships and no one knew what it meant to be a mage.

[Her eyes widen a bit upon listening.]

They must be a very wise people...and generous, to share such knowledge. But why do they sleep on the moon? Are they not well?

Because the planet does not belong to them. They don't want the people of the Blue Planet to fight with them, so they are waiting until they can share the world together peacefully.

But if they sleep, how will they know when it is time?

One of them does not sleep. My father's brother, Fusoya, actually. He watches over the rest of them and the planet.

[Only one?]

That is most generous of him.

...does he have no other company?

Only the Hummingway, I suppose. I don't know if they visit though.

[She nods, then seems sheepish.]

I hope I have not pried overmuch, with my questions. I have seen little outside my previous home; all outside it has my interest.

No, it's quite all right. I apologize if I've been vague or unclear about anything. We can share more about our homes when there is less work to be done, Mjrn.

[Ignoring anything to do with the words 'social' and 'event.']

...But that tournament was a welcome challenge.

[He'll also pointedly ignore how beat up he's been after the event.]

[ ]

I'm not certain a specific pair of scaled and horned creatures would agree, considering the near brushes of death their new father experienced.

What, but-

[This is so not fair, bringing the dragons into this, Cecil.]

-but I had the entire situation under control, you shouldn't have doubted me.

[He's trying his utmost to be stubborn and manly, still wanting to prove his strength...]

[ ]

I did not say I doubted you. I know you can take care of yourself, but if people are counting on you, you should be more careful.

I was careful.

[...By Kain-standards.]

Then you should be well enough to attend the ball that is being held at Beast's Castle.

[ ]

...the what.

[His tone could not get any more line-facey if he tried. He'll gladly have taken an offer to go push himself past the limit in training, but... a ball. With people. With potentially Rosa wearing something that will torture him.]

[ ]

There is to be a ball soon. You should attend. [ ] Unless your newest friends like social gatherings as much as you do.

Why would I?

[Hmmph. If he didn't go to his wedding, does he really think he'll go to someone stranger's ball? Wait what is he saying, exactly...]

...Are you referring to the dragons?

[Because clearly they are the first thing that comes to mind when 'friends' are mentioned.]

[ ]

The dragons, yes, and the others. You've made several lately...

[Damn it, it's hard to think up proper excuses that Cecil will accept.]

I don't know that I deserve to be considered anyone's friend, here...

[ ]

...Is that what you think?

[VIDEO/PRIVATE]

Kain, I don't hold anything that happened against you. I know it wasn't your fault.

Edited 2011-07-25 04:14 (UTC)

[Kain is quiet for a moment. A long moment. He doesn't like admitting to much that's going on in his head, but this has been weighing on him for a while now.]

...What if it happens again here, Cecil? What if I befriend people here only to turn on them?

[He somehow doubts they'll be as forgiving as Cecil and Rosa.]

[ ]

It won't. Zemus...

[ ]

I won't let him get to you. Golbez is not here. No one can control you. You're your own master, Kain.

I'm in my right mind now, but... If he arrives here, I can't promise I'll be able to maintain control. You must defend yourself against me should it come to it... and Rosa. You must protect her.

[It pains him to think that Rosa would need protection from him, but he knows it realistically.]

Defend us both yourself by maintaining this control.

For both of your sakes, I'll give it my all.
