12th Crystal: [Written]

[cladinthedark]

I am almost frightened by how accurately I predicted the new arrivals... Kain, Rydia, then Rosa, in that order. Perhaps the Malnosso are not so unpredictable after all.

To the more recent arrivals from my world, you know who you are, I'd appreciate it if you could spare a bit of time to update me on how you've adjusted to Luceti.

And more broadly, I noticed that the Luceti guide has not yet been linked for public perusal. Allow me to correct this. All "new feathers", which is the term for new arrivals to Luceti, would be well-advised to read the whole of that.

[OOC: He's wiiiide open, ladies. Do you think you can be the lucky one to peek under that forboding mask? Taken by Noishe. Oh, Isadora, I lol.]

Congratulations - you are now a furry. :| ♥

Thanks for pointing out the guide. It cleared up a few things I've been wondering about Luceti.

Isa, I just... don't even know. And here I kinda expected some adorkable Noishe/Martel...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're welcome... Er... I don't believe I've seen you around.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those "new feathers you talked about! I'm still learning about everything here and how it works.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad I could help you... I didn't realize they were bringing animals here as well.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

[ Normally, Noishe would be pretty pissed off that someone he doesn't know called him an animal. But, for some reason, he just takes it in stride. ]

I'm not an animal. I'm protozoan, a member of a highly respected race on my world. But, it's alright if you made the mistake. Many people do.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see... That was rather rude of me, wasn't it? But the thing is... I expect you've tired of hearing this, but aside from your ears and coloration, you do look remarkably like a large dog...

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

It's alright, I've grown used to being called that these last few centuries. But, sometimes I wish I could hurry up and reach my final, humanoid form. I could talk to people without using these ... ridiculous wings.

[ Wow, he's talking about himself more than usual. Is he trying to show off ...? ]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Centuries? My, you're from a rather long-lived race. But you say you have alternate forms?

[He hasn't actually noticed any difference yet, he's just about as curious as he usually would be about something this new.]

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

More like millenia.

But, yes, my body evolves into different forms over the years. I have been an Aquan and an Aeros. Now, I am an Arshis.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Aquan and Aeros... Those would be related to the sea and sky, respectively?

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

Yes. All my forms are related to the elements. This is my Earth form.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Then the next would be fire-based? I can't see what that has to do with humanoids...

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the destruction humans and half-elves wreak upon themselves and others? It's enough to make you sick sometimes.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

U-uh, not that I think all humans or half-elves are bad! Just some ...

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know about elves or half-elves... but I've seen what happens when the power of a Lunarian is turned the wrong way.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

... It would be nice, if everyone didn't feel they needed to fight all the time. Just understand and talk to one another. Like we are!

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

It's a nice thought... but it's not necessarily so easy. People can be rather frightened of new and different things.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Speaking of new... I never did ask you your name.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

My name's Noishe! What's yours?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I'm Golbez. It's a pleasure, Noishe.

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

Golbez ... it's nice to meet you too!

Hey, where are you right now?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

At the third community housing building. It's where I live. Why do you ask?

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

I ... I just thought it might be nice to meet in person!

[ Yes, that's totally the reason. ]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

We could do that. Where are you now?

[teratophobic.livejournal.com]

At home ... uh, house 19. I think.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

That's informative.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Yes, this "Mark" seems to be quite the helpful type.

So, it seems the young ladies have been too distracted by the experiment to respond to my question. Could you inform me of how they're doing, Kain?

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

This unnecessary behavior is an experiment? I should have realized.

I haven't heard much of them these past days, but the last I spoke with them they were well.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

That is my assumption, at any rate. Most likely it has something to do with this Valentine's Day...

Good, good. I'll have to check in at the clinic to see if Rosa's been by yet at some point. What of you, Kain?

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I see. Fortunately, some of us appear to be sane.

I'm adjusting thus far.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Did you just call the young ladies insane, Kain?

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

No, I was referring to the general population and their being taken over by this... affliction.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Well, it could be significantly worse. The last experiment I was involved in caused some people to go truly insane. In a dangerous way.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

That's exactly the sort of experiment we don't need a repeat of.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Count your blessings, Kain.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I suppose so.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the information, Golbez. This is most helpful! As for adjusting, I've met a few friendly faces and received some answers, so that's a start. I'm sorry I've been so late to reply, it's been a hectic past few days and I have been distracted. But I do appreciate what you've done.

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

Don't mention it, Rydia. It's important we work together while we're here.

Might I inquire what had you so distracted?
