The market prompt!

[moonscapes]

[ Though Elidibus remains thoroughly confused as to why he is here and what is happening, he has taken it upon himself to explore and get to know the lay of the land. The way the locals move and behave. What kind of outsiders other than himself and Emet-Selch had they collected?

He doesn't exactly realize how recognizable he could be, even with most of his face hidden with the telltale mask of an Ascian. ]

Do you mean to say that was your stomach just now? The sound.

Hahahaha hi odd stranger /laughs nervously

[inlikethebrume]

Aye, it was-

[Ever have that moment when you turn around and then see something that you shouldn't have? That's how Mira is feeling because she is seeing a ghost right now. Why is she like this? Probably because it's fresher.

Give her a second, Elidibus. Her face is one of surprise though.]

what could possibly go wrong

[moonscapes]

[ Well he would be blind not to see that reaction.

And that can really only mean one thing, can't it?

She's seen him before. ]

I see. It would appear we have already been acquainted.
And here I thought my memories clear again.

[ How frustrating. But also a mild jest. He taps a clawed finger to his chin a moment, aware at this point that different time lines and alternative histories are a thing in this strange world too. ]

My old foe.

everything

[inlikethebrume]

[The way he speaks, there's something off about it. But then, she recalls that possibly, like Ardbert and Emet-Selch, this Elidibus did not know her personally but can figure out the general gist.]

Not the one you may know but yes, we are acquainted as such.

[Just to confirm.]

And no, I am not seeking to cause you harm if that is something you are worried about.

dw why do you hide this from me

[moonscapes]

[ At least in Elidibus' case, she probably shouldn't be too offended that he does not know her specifically. Granted, what the Warrior of Light and Crystal Exarch did to him is very fresh in his mind.

And she confirms that indeed they are known enemies. That she suggests he's worried about it though, seems to insult him.

Never mind that he is worried. ]

No, I suppose you would not be seeking that, considering the harm you have already caused.

because dw says no fun allowed

[inlikethebrume]

I am not the only one who has caused harm, rest assured.

[Sorry Elidibus but you are not getting out of taking responsibility. Lack of memories or not, he did know what he was doing when it came to 'saving' the First. It's weird but she feels both sympathy and anger when it came to the ascians now. You assholes did this to her, thanks!]

😔😔😔😔

[moonscapes]

[ He shakes his head. ]

Everything I did was to fulfill my duty. What you and your ilk have done to me— To me—

[ He looks down at his hands, slightly cupped as if he's remembering the feeling of all those memory crystals resting within them. ]

I will never see them.

((From here))

"A prince hmm?"

Oh she has met a couple: one who wants nothing except to fight her and one who just regained his kingdom. She doesn't even blink twice at the head wings because obviously things vary between stars but they are big...

"Nah, you're not being rude at all. The name's Mira since we're doing introductions so it's nice to meet you." Said with a small salute.

"So ever see anything like this back where you hail?

Network Mingle Intro

>Elidibus

[inlikethebrume]

(continued from here)

Oh? Then what did you see me as?

[moonscapes]

[ Well, he barely knows her of course. But hmmm.. guessing game time ]

A disciple of magic, I suppose.

[inlikethebrume]

Technically yes since I do know of magicks.

[moonscapes]

Perhaps, but we only speak of what you claim to be master of.

[inlikethebrume]

I do use magic as a dark knight so you're still technically right. It's balancing sword skills with magic. If that makes any sense?

>Drividot

[inlikethebrume]

(continued from here)

North huh? Ishgard proper on my end. Brume if you want specfics.

[pukwight]

A different flavor of struggle, then.

[inlikethebrume]

Is it alright to ask about yours?

[pukwight]

At the mercy of the weather, the beasts, less the noblemen. Dependent on the land’s bounty, the everwinter came as a deathblow.

[inlikethebrume]

My apologies if I brought painful memories back to the forefront.

Hot Spring Prompt

[inlikethebrume]

WARNINGS: The norm with hot springs episodes.

NOTES: Am ok with any salt as listed on the tdm prompt.


[The snow was bad, the events involving Aurora Nyx was bad and it felt like everyone from this place wanted someone to scapegoat. What else was new? So that's what brought her to Primavera: to try and do the relaxing thing Megumi keeps telling her to do. It would be better with company at least as she checks into the ryokan. Mainly to try out these onsens.

After getting settled, she stepped into one of the baths with uncertainty. She wasn't too thrilled with an open bath and being naked; not because of being prude but it just felt weird to her and in public. Hells, even the baths back home made people wear swimwear. But she's alone right now as she lets herself sink a bit in the tub.

Upon hearing steps behind her, Mira turned her head and sunk down a little lower.]

I'm sorry, did I take the wrong one? I can leave if that's the case.

[sasscian]

I do not see my name written upon it, therefore no you did not. Unless you alone have claimed this one.

[Which he hopes no, because he is going to step into it. Emet-Selch does still have a towel around his waist as he steps into the water-- this is not his first time in them today so he knows it is going to dissolve away and that is fine. As it promptly does while he sinks into the water.]

Not going to kick me out, are you?

[A smirk, he'd like to see her try. Though he does not really think that she would. He moves through the water, sitting across from her. Enough distance to give them each some personal space, yet close enough to speak comfortably.]

[inlikethebrume]

[Like she can stop him. Besides, he can just teleport wherever so it is kind of a moot point. That and it's nice having some form of company around. She can't spend all her time alone.]

Oh I can definitely carry you but that would be the opposite of trying to do the relaxing matter that a lot of people tell me I should do.

[It sounds like a tease given Mira does crack a little smile.]

And no, I haven't claimed it for myself. Seems too big for just one person. And...it feels nicer than the one in Kugane.

[sasscian]

[A smirk- doesn't seem like she is intending to toss him out which is good, because he wasn't planning on moving anyway. Sitting down into the warm waters, Emet-Selch takes a moment to just relax, sinking in to them and letting his body lean back, relaxed.]

You should try it more often. Especially when nothing important is happening in this place. I've been quite content to merely bathe and sleep all day.

[He may regret saying that over the coming day or two, but so far his trip had been uneventful, enjoying the steam heat and then going to snooze it off. This one is particularly nice, as some of the native gems stop by to dump a load of lavender-scented salts into the water, with a comment on how they shall soothe the skin and promote relaxation.]

It's been a week or so since I last saw you, been getting into any trouble?

[inlikethebrume]

[They can use it, her especially since she just got back from her latest trip. Mira does ease herself up a bit, enough so her shoulders is peeking out from the water. How to put it without word vomiting about it all? That she knows what he was talking about during the storm?]

I returned home. To Etheirys.

[Maybe that might work? The fact that she used the star's true name over the one most knew it as?]

[sasscian]

[The proclamation has him blinking. He understands almost immediately what the implications are- especially after seeing Megumi at the sky station and finding out she had also returned.]

...So our memories may now be aligned. You aren't the only one to return and come back, curious that it should happen synchronously.

[He doesn't add anything else for now, for he is certain she has an opinion on the whole matter, one way or not.]
