6th Crystal: [Written]

[cladinthedark]

Fabul's crystal of wind.  How interesting.

I wonder if there is any use I might put this to...

[For those not in the know, the crystals in FF 4 were each dominant over a different element.  But when seperate, they didn't really appear to do much.  So this is probably a useless present, but hey, it's shiny!]

... What is it, Cecil?

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Only the one?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I doubt they would provide us with the entire set. The power the crystals can generate might very well be enough to threaten them.

On it's own, it's mostly a trinket, though it might be able to power a wind-based piece of machinery...

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

I would advise you not toy with it too much, Theodore.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

What would I even do with it?

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Forgive me for not being the most trusting when the crystals are involved.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Zemus is not here. Without him, I doubt there's much cause for worry. And even if he were here, the giant has been destroyed.

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

True. "Old habits die hard", or so they say.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... Come to think of it, wasn't it this crystal that led me to you?

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

.....I believe it was.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I wonder if that's why they chose this one...

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

It is rather ironic.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Well, they seem fond of mocking us at every possible opportunity.

[moon-paladin.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

...a wind crystal, you say?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Yes. An artifact from my world. On its own, however, it's really not all that useful. Perhaps it would be able to power some small device at most.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Hmm...it doesn't sound like a runic crystal...

May I have a look at it? I am a skilled magician, after all.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

If you like. Is there a specific place you'd like to meet?

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Wherever you feel is best.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I believe the library would be ideal.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

And when?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I don't have any pressing engagements. We can meet as soon as you'd like.

[bigbluehat.livejournal.com]

Very well! First matter of the new year will be this examination!

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Oh really?

Wouldn't you think that a more suiting gift for me?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

One might think. But then again, none of you ever so much as touched the crystals.

And... for that matter, thinking back on it, retrieving this crystal was an interesting turning point in things.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Why WAS it you never let us just go and get them ourselves?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

The soldiers of Baron were doing the job quite handily. I simply saw no need.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Right, and we saw how that went over... Didn't this start because Cagnazzo wasn't convincing your brother well enough?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

... When did you learn of Cecil's and my relationship?

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Reading...

What do you think I do all day? Brush my hair?
((Yeah... that one slipped on my part... but I've seen it mentioned somewhere...))

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I was under the impression your friends take up most of your time...

You seem remarkably unsurprised by the information.

[Yeah, if she was stalking his journals, she'd probably know by now.]

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Not much surprises me anymore... Not when you wake up next to a girl and she's not entirely in the same state of mind or personality.

Waking up and my hair's been cut... Now that'd be a surprise but... I think there's not a blade that could do such a thing...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Not what she was before, hm? That does seem familiar...

Oh, if you asked Cecil nicely, I'm sure one of his swords would prove sharp enough.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

I've told you about her before.


Yeah... I'm gonna pass on that...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, you have... Though I don't believe you ever mentioned her name.

I thought as much.

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

Most of the time she goes by Lucy, but she has that childish persona that calls herself Nyuu.

[knightofratatosk]

It looks like everyone is getting presents from Santa.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Santa? I was under the impression these "gifts" were from the Malnosso...

[knightofratatosk]

... they are?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't be certain one way or the other. I've never heard of this "Santa" before though.

[knightofratatosk]

Neither had I, until Nokoru told me about him.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

And who exactly is Santa, then?

[knightofratatosk]

I, um... actually, I'm not sure.
