CW uh...brief reference to planetary extinction? <n< let me know if I need to tweak CWs

[jan_ken_hacking]

[Kiyoiri's own nodding is quite quick, and in great agreement.] Yes, it was much like that. Magic is rare in our world- by sheer coincidence, we found ourselves within one of their organization buildings however.

[Related to that...] On that note, something of the opposite is more accurate... ...While we were inside the building, catastrophe made the world outside inaccessible. Everyone on the planet was 'incinerated from time'. The building was an 'ark' in this, but similarly, this left the ones inside as the only ones who could restore it.

[.........................] ...It is like that now at home, but worse, for different reasons. We can access the planet... ...but the planet is still 'gone'. All there is, is white sand. We aren't sure if we can restore it this time.

I THINK...that covers it lol

[blitzcheer]

[ ............that's a thing that apparently happened. Don't mind the baffled, confused look Tidus is wearing at 'incinerated from time'. And 'art'. And basically around that entire point. ]

Uh... but you restored it another time? [ .... ] How does something like that happen? Why?

[ And just one building gets left behind? what fate you have a lot of explaining to do ]

weeps in ??? canons i guess,

[jan_ken_hacking]

[There's not a whole lot of good ways to respond to that information, and honestly, Tidus is doing pretty great all things considered!

Still.] The first time, we restored it; we used 'Rayshifting' to travel to the singularities creating the events, and removed what caused the singularities to happen.

[As for the how, hooboy.] ...a being called 'Goetia' needed the energy created by burning '7 timelines'; they wanted to create a world where 'no death, suffering, or sadness could occur'.

[One could argue Goetia meant well...but it didn't change what he did to get there.]

[blitzcheer]

[ It would be very easy to ask 'what's Rayshifting' like the protag that asks too many questions that he is, but you know, when she gets to the villain with a bad plan part- ]

Ugggghhhh, [ listen to that groan, ] one of those guys? There's always someone out of their mind everywhere.

[ Tidus has no respect for that plan!! ]

So you can't just get rid of that guy again?

[ Since, he's the singularity....right?? ]

[jan_ken_hacking]

[OH! There has been a misunderstanding!!!] Ah-

No, Goetia was defeated...

The current problem is unfortunately unrelated to singularities. The result is effectively the same; humanity is gone, and my friends and I barely escaped between dimensions in the process- but we don't fully know who it is that did it, or even if we can truly restore it.

[That's..................................

..............ah.]

[blitzcheer]

[ That's.............. ]

Oh. [ ....yes. ] I'm sorry. There...anything you think that'd help? [ Oh! ] Anything that used to exist, something you don't have right now?

[jan_ken_hacking]

Eh?

[Oh? ...Oh. She feels a little bad now, putting that kind of weight on the conversation. But, she can probably...probably? Think of an answer?

The girl goes quiet for a moment- the trouble is, there wasn't a whole lot she got to experience before...well. Going to Chaldea. About 3/4s of a year perhaps, and much of it was spent figuring out what 'normal life' was even like.

She should probably think of something she remembers her friends talking about. Like.... ...Oh-] A costume chest. Not for serious things, but for play things. Maybe the costume chest wouldn't be needed, but stage props, and tools to make them are probably large.

[She smiles.] ...if I'm honest... ...the people at Chaldea did a very good job, replacing what material things we lost. It's hard to think of anything very 'big'. ...Maybe, something like a model car race track or similar would count too?

[blitzcheer]

[ It wasn't quite what he meant, but you know what? It sounds fun, cute. Both of the ideas, and he folds his arms, humming. ]

You know, let's see what we can do! But a costume chest, stage props - those sound like they'd be fun 'n' doable. And we've got the perfect stage up in the music car!

So you need outfits... and stage make-up? [ hmm- ] If we buy props as a big item, we might get a whole lot of different kinds. Whatever you need to put on a show.

[ Which Tidus doesn't really know about! ]

[jan_ken_hacking]

[Ultimately what matters is...well, having fun with it, and there's no doubt that's exactly what will happen. Perfect!]

Oh, it could be a musical too, then...

[Cart before horse, Kiyoiri!?] Do you think if we aren't clear, the props will come at random then? That could be interesting...

[Like pulling lottery...]

[blitzcheer]

Think so! If you don't get really specific about what you want, the train just grabs whatever it can. [ Or so seems to be Tidus's history with it. ]

You wanna do that? We can just say... 'costume and costume props'! 'Costume and costume props for musicals'? Wonder if there's a difference if you say what kind of performance it is...

[ The mystery of acting. ]

[jan_ken_hacking]

I see...

[Note to herself, be precise then. Well!]

We can find out- but... [Ah, on that note though...] ...I'll probably buy other things first.

[She has priorities...

Large...cuddly ones.... (well that and her medical bag but)]
