...let's have a seat. [instead of standing near the stairs. he'll turn and head further into the lobby, having a seat on one of the sofas and inviting alphinaud to do the same. he leans forward a bit with his elbows on his knees, propping himself up to continue speaking.]
The voices turned into screams the further we went, but when it started they were just talking. We couldn't understand anything they said, but as we kept going they got louder and louder until they were screaming right in our heads. I think those sounds followed us here, too, even though they went quiet when we backed off.
[ Alphinaud follows, and ends up taking a seat across from him, posture straight, not as casual. And he listens, a slight frown on his face. ]
That explains it; how truly horrific. I could not begin to imagine what could be the source... Twelve forefend, what if others make their way through to where you two had gone, as well?
Oh, I already took care of it. I put a couple of signs on the moon rovers and the shuttles warning everybody. [he is Prepared.] I had that thought, too. Izumo and I went in totally unprepared, and I don't want that to happen to anybody else. Especially if that monster decides to leave the canyon.
You will have to forgive me for speaking plain, but I have my doubts on whether that will be an effective means to deterring any further curious travelers.
I mean, I wrote that there's a space monster out there. You'd think that would stop most people from going further. [...it is debatable if it would have stopped him, but that's neither here nor there.]
...I do, too. [nobody else should end up partially deaf and traumatized, thanks.] Have you heard about why this place is connected to the town now? Swan told me when I asked them earlier.
When I asked, Swan said it's the Realm bringing us to places where the nova's been disturbed. So they're like a memory of the place itself. And that's why there aren't any other people or anything.
... Aye, I do believe that makes sense. I suppose that does explain how that station suddenly appeared overnight, as well, and is accessible simply by crossing a bridge.
Yeah. I want to ask some of the other leaders their thoughts on it, too. Mostly because it still doesn't explain why a monster was there at all if it's supposedly just a memory. I guess, in a way, it was a good thing Izumo and I went.
Maybe. If these places really don't have other people but have monsters lurking around it might be part of the problem. And even if it's not the cause it probably doesn't help.
Hardly. Regardless of their reason for being there, there's the matter of dealing with them. I can only speak for myself, but I confess I've lost the one means I have for contending with a monster of any kind.
Hey, it's not for everybody. Our magician usually uses a staff instead. [so this does not surprise him, but also, sorry for comparing alphinaud to donald duck.]
All of my powers are gone, too. [this isn't relevant, really, but he's interested.] What's your magic like?
[ "regular old magic"...... that does not narrow it down in the least. (but it's kh i understand) ]
Mayhap it is not so terribly different from the magicks you know, then; 'tis the manner one channels their aether that makes it different from other schools. It allows me to conjure sorcery to fend off fiends, yet also draw upon healing magicks to aid the injured—and oft do arcanists have familiars at their side to do as they need.
[the words are incredibly different, but there's a light of recognition in his eyes as he seems to grasp the concepts.]
It's really not too different for us. We use our magic when we're fighting off monsters, too. Elemental stuff usually, but we know healing magic and sometimes we can summon friends to help us, too. [he sounds a little excited, actually, because this is the closest he's come to finding someone who understands. wow. wonder why.] A wizard taught us how to use ours, but I don't think I can really explain how we channel it or whatever.
[ damn... it's almost like sora could be a final fantasy character? kinda wild bro. ]
'Tis well and good; such knowledge comes only with many summers of study. Though you may be capable of wielding it now, I do suggest further learning as much as you are able.
Now you're starting to sound like Master Yen Sid. [but it's amicably said, like he doesn't mind.] When Merlin first started teaching us, we practiced a lot. But now it's pretty easy to do. I wouldn't mind learning more if there was more to learn though, I guess.
There is always more learning to pursue, should you wish to. It is merely a matter of finding what you wish to accomplish, and then discovering a way to do so.

Do you think that whatever beast lurks out there could be the cause of the disturbance?

I am a practitioner of arcanima, but I've yet to come across another here who is familiar with it. Unless you are?
