Greetings. I am aware what we went through was somewhat an unique experience and I am also perfectly aware some of us got out of it a bit shaken. That being said, it's perhaps the first big 'event' we experienced since coming here, it wouldn't hurt to at least start gathering together the data we gathered to see all that can be learned from it. Also, while I'm hardly built for moral support, I feel like we could at least try to reach for each other in what may be a time of need for some of us. I wanted to suggest a gathering, I wouldn't mind hosting it considering I'm at least used to brainstorming and data elaborating meetings with others, just be aware my size may prove a bit of a challenge. If people are willing to step in, we can certainly organize something. Last but not least: we have some level of confirmation this place can mess with our head and our perception of things, it wouldn't hurt to keep a journal or something with our memories and thoughts. I'm hardly the best at social events of any kind, so please know I'm open to all suggestions. -Erichthonios

I don't know. I was told I couldn't use them by my mother and I never questioned it. Who knows. Also... garleans? A tribe of your people, perhaps? Are they a bit like me? Not really useful when aether is involved? As for the chocobo- I'd love to see one. I don't think I ever heard of such concept.

[One of those stories Erich will have a dad or be one- and Nara'a will get PLENTY to tease Erich about. Just be patient.]

I was hardly exposed to my own people, friend. I wouldn't be surprised if I had some ideas of how some things worked and the truth was different. Pandaemonium was rarely a 'normal' place by our standards, or that's my understanding after leaving a few times with Lahabrea. Part of me, wishes I could see your world. It seems so different I can't help but wonder.

Not my people, but another race. They are unable to manipulate aether at all, and rely on technological things to do what we would normally do with aether. For instance, rather than using one's own aether to start a fire, they would have a certain type of rock that they strike with steel to create a spark.

True, I... suppose I had hoped that you would at least have been able to learn some from the others there.

But I wish you could see my world, too. There's so much to see and even I haven't explored it all yet. The love I have for my world is difficult to express with words - one has to see it, experience it.

OH! that's- not something new, actually! The whole concept of striking two different materials and generating a spark was used for plenty of early fire breathing concepts with gas sacks in their bodies and often beaks that would clatter and offer an ignition point! It's such a basic concept yet somehow it's almost shocking to hear an entire species uses similar tools instead of Aether!

[Words cannot convey emotions well, but he's very happy right now.]

Ah, well, people of Pandaemonium are kind but they are also professionals. No one signed up to take care of a child and as soon as I was made a warder we focused on work, little talks were offered about the 'outside'. But, trust me, despite the gloominess and lack of sunlight? I did love my home.

[And he was a child when his mother passed, considering she made him a warder... he's been focused on monsters and creatures since childhood.]

Maybe someday we will find stories about your world? I cannot imagine traveling too much but I'd love to see what you have seen.

We would use fire crystals, if we didn't use our own aether. But they've found a very aetherically charged liquid that they've been using for a lot of their newer machinery.

I suppose that's true. I... want to show you many different things. There's so much to learn and explore in the world - never mention all of the other worlds we might get sent to!

I remember using fire shards to warm up my drinks after a day of work, but I was hardly the best a controlling that kind of stuff as well. But an aetherically charged liquid? Color me intrigued. Well, I may not be able to see it all but I would still love to learn from you, my friend. I am certain you've seen countless wonderful things.

I know it can be carried in barrels, as I've done it before. But the finer details of how it works... I'm not certain.

I have. Not everything I've seen has been wonderful, but... it's all been important.
