So... [A young woman with soft pink hair appears on the feed, suspicion and frustration warring in her blue eyes.] I get crystallized, somehow wake up and get dumped in a new world?

My sister. [She grits her teeth, barely controlling her temper.] Her name is Serah. I also... I need to find a boy named Hope, a man named Sazh and, I guess, an idiot named Snow.

Do... Do they sound familiar?

[farroning]

Everyone has a weakness or two. As long as you learn, that's all that matters. [She has been an idiot about certain things too.]

Wow. What did you do to tick them off? [Something extreme, she hopes?]

Maybe. I'm stronger than I was. [That happens when gods force you into certain battles and arm you for them.] Elemental magic is my mainstay - besides my Blazefire.

[fairlyheroic]

Heh, you're right.

[he can't help the brief laugh, giving a shake of his head] It's a long story, but let's just say I had something they wanted. Among a few other reasons.

Sometimes all you need is a good Firaga, right?

[farroning]

Beating you down with rockets isn't the polite way to ask for it back. [Genesis where are your manners?]

I'm a fan of whatever works. [But since he knows that spell...] What do you call your world?

[fairlyheroic]

It's pretty rude, right? [he shrugs, grinning] No manners at all with those guys.

[he tilts his head, though, curious] We just call it The Planet - why do you ask?

[farroning]

You shouldn't feel bad about using your sword against them. [They asked for it.] I take it you didn't lose?

[The Planet. Huh.] I wondered if we were from the same place.

[fairlyheroic]

[the grin widens into something just a little more cocky] No way! There was no way I could lose - my pride wouldn't allow it.

What makes you say that? Firaga sounds familiar?

[farroning]

Yeah... Mine's like that too. [Her pride, that is.] We're no help to anyone if we're dead.

Yeah, it does. Blizzaga, Thundaga, Waterga, Aeroga... I use them all in my attacks.

[fairlyheroic]

[oh . . . oh Lightning, her choice of words] It's gotta be a soldier thing.

[both eyebrows shoot up] Huh. Bizzaga and Thundaga I'm familiar with, Curaga too. The other two I haven't heard of.

[a considering noise] What about summons?

[farroning]

[Oops.] We go through all of that training for what? To run away?

[She sits down to make herself a little more comfortable.]

Water and Air. If you can't drown an opponent, send them away on a gale force wind.

[Summons, you say.] Eidolons? Mine is Odin.

[fairlyheroic]

Right? My mentor talked about it a lot - about holding on to your pride. On top of training, that was the lesson I heard the most.

[he sets his device down, propped up so he can keep talking] Man, those would have came in handy.

Eidolons? [but, he perks up] I had Odin, too, among a couple of others.
