3rd moon [written/action]

[The message in the journal is short, sweet, and to the point.]

I have breasts, and I have birds. May I please receive an explanation for this?

[Whether or not he receives one, Cecil will soon leave the house to visit the weapon shop. Then, spear in hand, ravens at his side, he'll patrol the village looking for either people he knows or terribly bloody battles. He's not very picky about it.]

[[ooc: Cecil is now a valkyrie! ...A relatively modern valkyrie, in fact. considering some of his powers. Comments will come from lunarvalkyrie .]]

I suspect that would have its disadvantages, too.

[Rydia nods, a wry smile on her lips.]

It would...and besides, it wouldn't be right to just leave, in case you needed our help.

For all I know, I'll suddenly become a fish in my sleep. Your presence at such a time would be very helpful.

[A pause.]

...Would they truly transform people into fish and leave them on the ground?

[She wrinkles her nose.]

They might, but I doubt it. As annoying as their experiments are, we're not usually in any danger from them.

...'Usually'?

[And she gives into pacing, raking a hand through her hair.]

Sometimes harm does come, but it's usually of the indirect sort. Like, one time I was teleported to the middle of the lake...in November. If Golbez hadn't found me, I might have drowned or frozen before I ever reached home.

[Cecil freezes in place when he hears that.]

You almost... Could you not warp yourself home? How did he manage to find you?

He happened to be at the lakeside--and no, I couldn't. The moment I was teleported, I couldn't use my normal voice--so I couldn't access the Warp spell.

[Not a fun time, as her expression indicates.]

Do you think the timing of that teleportation was deliberate?

[Because if it was, there will be hell to pay.]

[Wince.]

Oh, it was. A letter promised people that if they stepped through this portal, they could go home. I thought it might be a trap, but...I missed my Eidolons too much not to try.

It promised...?

[He can see why that would be tempting.]

Were the people responsible for that letter identified and caught? Were they dealt with? Their prank could have killed people!

[She shook her head.]

It wasn't any of us, Cecil. None of us have the power for such a thing, especially with the barrier in place.

Is there a way to know which Malnosso is responsible, then? Would they answer if we asked?

[Rydia stares off in thought.]

From what I remember, the portal morphed into a hologram of an old man. It was him who created the portal in the first place. Supposedly, it wasn't supposed to do what it did and there was some sort of mistake. I don't believe it, though, and I didn't talk to the hologram myself, so I'm not sure what else he said. Maybe Kain did....

[If Cecil finds a way to frown more, he'll have wrinkles.]

That sounds like a poor, false excuse to me. If those people truly experiment, they should know to test their portals.

I bet they did. Like I said, I don't trust anything they say. Even when they do tell the truth, it's probably not the whole truth.

And I suppose they refuse to explain what did not work and why it did not?

Of course, or at least I heard no explanation. Even if I had, I wouldn't believe it.

Have they ever been fully truthful to us, at any time?

Whenever they have, it's always been to their own benefit. If not, then I'm sure they'd have no qualms about keeping us in the dark.

Which means we'd have to make honesty beneficial to receive proper answers. How could we do that?

Sometimes, the opportunity is there. You'll see what I mean. Occasionally, they make entries to the network and talk to us through there.

How often do they speak to us? Do they do so casually, or only under certain circumstances?

Pretty much the later. They only speak to us when they feel like it, which isn't that often.

Are they polite about it, at least?
