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?

[...are you sparkling? She doesn't trust anyone who sparkles.]

Alright, alright. Don't make enemies, right? I can manage that. [Until someone attacks her.] I'm most worried about my sister, Serah. The rest can hold their own.

[He's sparkling like he belongs in a shoujo anime.] I wouldn't be terribly worried. Most people here seem to be reasonable enough, and we refugees seem to have elevated social status. [He pauses, and the sparkles fade away.] I'd be more concerned for her virtue than her safety if I were you.

[Her...virtue? Don't sparkle at her and then talk to her about Serah's virtue! Lightning does not look pleased.]

Excuse me? Are you saying Serah might be...? [Does she have to say it?] I would kill them if they even thought about it.

[His brows lift sharply, and he shakes his head.] I don't mean to imply assault. Merely that there are an unusually high number of opportunities for one thing to lead to another. There are even plants that can lure you in here. [You probably don't want to know how he knows that.] And plenty of substances that make you feel more inclined. Be very careful what you accept here, there are often... peculiar side effects.

[She hisses through her teeth.]

She's smarter than that. If a plant catches her, I'll cut it down.

[Let her live in her ignorance.]

And I won't take treats from strangers. Even kids know that rule.

[He lifts a brow at her, clearly suppressing a smile.] Yes, I'm sure it wouldn't simply ensnare you, too. But who knows, maybe a little vegan intimacy would do you good. Enchanted items aren't always advertised as such; You might purchase a drink or a snack and find yourself struck with peculiar urges or carnal thoughts.

[video]

[farroning]

[Of course. Of course.]

Vegan intimacy? [Nope, that just sounds stupid.] I can control myself. If something tries to curse me, I'll keep away from everyone. Serah will do the same. She's going to be married.

[pilot05]

[He shrugs in response to the question.] I'm sure you're both quite capable. [He was, too, or so he'd thought.] Regardless, I wish you luck.

[Marriage in her mind isn't something to take lightly. Serah won't be with anyone but Snow. Even that annoys her. Why him? Except... He has shown himself to be a decent guy.]

Why are you sparkling?

[video]

[pilot05]

[That nearly has him doing a double-take.] What? I'm not sparkling. Don't be absurd.
