[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.]

Yeah. That's why, when the turtle started to get sick, we started to lose our powers as well. He's doing better now, but if he were to fall ill again, the same thing would probably happen.

[wonmyfreedom]

I see. An unfortunate situation to be in. [She's been in worse, but even then, she still had the use of her magicks.]

Are you aware of how many times it has fallen ill?

[heartofgraces]

Just once. It was...under attack, by what we've been brought here to help fight.

[wonmyfreedom]

It is capable of doing such a thing? [Nullifying magic is one thing, but being able to severely weaken the creature that sustains everything here? That is a touch worrisome.]

[heartofgraces]

Yes. It is...here somewhere, on the island. Actually, um...[He shuffles around, and then sends an audio recording of information.] My friend, Richard, gathered up everything that's publicly known about the situation.

[wonmyfreedom]

[It's a little while before Fran responds again, simply because she's taken the time to listen to the recording that Asbel had sent her.]

Thank you. It is a good resource, and answers a great many questions.

[heartofgraces]

I'm glad it's helpful. I'll tell Richard you said so, I'm sure he'll be happy to hear it.

[Something to make the paperwork worth it, after all.]

[wonmyfreedom]

Having such information readily available is usually a wise choice. It certainly makes explanations less troublesome.

[heartofgraces]

That was the idea. It'd be hard to fight at all if we're not somewhat organized, right?

fdhfhsdh IM SO SORRY I KEEP MISSING TAGS

[wonmyfreedom]

Perhaps, but some may think of it as more entertaining that way.

IT'S OKAY I'M REALLY SLOW

[heartofgraces]

...I can't really see this being that funny to anyone, sorry.
