fiddlesticks 25, video from standard coach: open to all

[blitzcheer]

Sooooo, not being able to talk to most of the train that day sucked, huh? I don't know what to think about any of that, but since we can talk to each other now, I was thinking: How about we share where we're from, and see who's from worlds like ours?

And who speaks the same languages too! An actual list be better if that ever happens again, but for now, tell us about the kind of place you're from, what makes home home to you! You got kings or dragons? Machines? Portals to other worlds? Talking sea life? You just trying to get through school?

I'll go first to give you guys an idea, but share whatever you feel like!


( ooc: this is open to all, meaning feel free to put up a post and chat with other characters! )

I...don't think he is. Have you met a Hyur here? There are many, but the one I mean is the one who is the leader of the train. Tall, though most everyone is taller than me. A little weathered, pepper-and-salt hair, beard and mustache? His name is Tony Stark.

[Sarai heaved a bit of a sigh, then.] That seems to be a commonality where he's from, and once I was told of it, well.

[The Au Ra shrugs.] So I doubt Fandaniel is lying, either. I do not think it would further his aims, whatever they may be. A grain of salt, oh, take it still--as you say, he is an Ascian--but. For the moment, I do not think he is an enemy.

'Fraid I ain't familiar personally, not just yet. But the concept of crossing walls between realms, that's not all that shockin' to me at this point.

[She sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose before adjusting her glasses.]

No--it'd be a real stretch to say 'I trust him', but I at least trust his word when it comes to simple facts. Hard not to, knowin' what they're afte-

[record scratch]

'...Whatever they may be'? You don't-...you don't know?

[sweetnessandfight]

Before coming to this train, Fandaniel was not an Ascian we knew on my version of Eorzea. So...no.

Nabriales, Lahabrea. Iyegohrm. Elidibus. There are likely some others I've forgotten, but...

I know Urianger had begun to explain crossing realms and Shards when the Scions were being Called, but we haven't actually managed...

You mean you have?? [Guess who's equally shocked!]

[lightsmith]

I don't know 'im myself either, but...seven hells, you're missin' one.

[Scintilla slowly lowered her face into her hands with a quiet and drawn out 'fffffffff' sound hissed through her teeth which trailed off before ending in an expletive. Time discrepancies, of course. That should have already occurred to her, given the First and the Source's initial difference.]

...We need to talk. Meet me in one of them quiet coaches, bring your husband if y'want or I can tell you and you can tell him. I'll tell you what I know, so long as you think you're ready to hear it.

[sweetnessandfight]

[Oh, bloody hells, just the look on Scintilla's face made Sarai dread what was coming. No puns intended, either. She bit her lower lip. Missing one?? That was...bad. Bad.]

I'll tell him, and then I'll be in touch, all right? Oh, dear.

[Likely she'd need Dread just for the support...]
