[After an evening of wandering around and searching for people, as well as answers about this place, Fran arrived at her suite wondering about something she'd been feeling ever since she arrived - and is still feeling, really.

So, why not ask the other people trapped here?

The video feed turns on, revealing a rabbit-eared woman. Her expression is neutral, though her ears twitch ever-so-slightly before she speaks.]

I am curious. Is anyone familiar with the nature of the... [Mist? No, not quite. But definitely something like it.] Magicks on this beast? Is it the tortoise that is the source, or something different? [Yeah, yeah, turtle, but it reminds her of the monsters back home, so she's calling it a tortoise.]

I am able to sense it as I can the mist, but... they are not so similar that I cannot feel a difference.

[Oh. She's forgetting something, isn't she?]

I am Fran, if anyone wishes to know.

It is... a strange sensation to be as sensitive to this as I am the mist. If anyone has an answer, I will be grateful - so long as it is more useful than the one the kedan offered. [It doesn't quite occur to her that only someone from Ivalice would understand what she means when she mentions the mist, but oh well.]

[Hello, beautiful.]

I don't know how it all works or anything, since I'm not magical or anything, at least not when it comes to casting spells. [What]

But your magic should work the same here as it does back home? I mean, it works that way for everyone else, I think.

[... Huh. Talking pile of rocks. Something new every day.]

I should be able to cast spells as well here as anywhere else. [She hasn't felt any need to use any magicks, seeing as she hasn't been attacked since her arrival, but the not!mist here is strong enough that she knows she could cast a spell if she had to.]

My concern is with the source of the magick. It is not from my world, and it is not the same as the mist, yet I feel it just as strongly.

[Almost as new as a real life playboy bunny.]

Does the source matter all that much?

Not particularly. [So long as she can use her magicks and isn't constantly fainting or going berserk, yeah, it's all good.]

It is a curiosity, more than anything else.

Well, I think everything comes from the turtle here. Like, I'm not sure because I'm not magic, but there are places where magic and powers can be taken away here too...

Like in prison.

So there are specific areas where magicks are silenced, then?

There's something about the turtle's shell or something, where underneath the palace in the prison, they're able to turn off people's abilities. Magic can't be cast, people's power's can't be used, and I can't even move my body because of it.

[He... needs magicks and abilities to move his own body? Odd, but Fran isn't going to ask about it. That would be rude.]

Strange, but effective. [What better way to apprehend someone that to make sure they can't do anything to stop it?] Do we know how they are able to manipulate things in such a way?

[The only thing she can think of is nethicite, but that only nullifies the effects of magick.]

[He'd have no problems telling her. Rude is kind of his middle name.]

I'm not sure really. I think it's something in the turtle's shell that just turns off powers. I mean, it'd be a problem if the prisoners could just blow up the place. Besides, we're all kind of connected to the turtle too. If it gets sick, we all feel the effects.

So I have been told. [About the effects of the turtle getting sick, she means.]

I suppose there is little to be done about it yet.
