Just when you think you've seen everything there is to see - whumph! A monster cast Mini on me and suddenly I'm in a village I never knew existed. I don't think this place gets many visitors. I might be...of the outside world, so I told 'em all I could and in return they gave me enough gil to continue my journey. I'm gonna head south. Now I've just gotta work out how to get back to my normal size..

[The setting is the old Black Mage Factory underneath Dali. An unusual situation, but as it turns out, the only place spacious enough to accommodate all the heads of state in attendance, while maintaining...everyone tracks the post, and direct posts tags , rather than replying to the person before, so there isn't any confusion over where to tag next, or a zillion little subthreads to have to follow.))

[there's a bit of a pause, as though Jote's not entirely sure how to go about this.] I am to be relocated to Shumi Village in the north, where I have been for the last few weeks. Time waits for none, it would seem.

...got lost. [ Sits next to Seymour ] [ Garnet looks in the direction of the late arrival, blinks, but says nothing. She wouldn't actually be surrpsied if someone got lost on the Invicible ] [ Jote shifts and shoots Laguna a disdainful look but says nothing ] CID Never mind, never mind!

[Nono is looking down at a little device he'd found in the pocket of his rumpled, dusty, oilstained jumpsuit.] K-kupo.. is.. is this thing on? [The area behind his head is dark, with no real source...roll down his furred cheeks, and he keeps glancing down. Slavering, and the sound of teeth snapping, and claws clattering, can be heard from below the device.] Somebody save me-he-he..!! Kupooo~!!

Characters: Mjrn and Jote Progress: Ongoing. Summary: The sisters have an overdue talk after their conversation with the local scholar. Location: The inn at Treno. Date: June, 1803 Warnings: Awkwardness? Angst? Nothing else, though. Tomorrow, it would be time to leave.

... Woah. I've never seen anything like this thing... a weird looking Moogle gave this to me. I like it. But, where am I? There are no Viera here, or Nu Mou, or those dirty lizards. I need to get back soon, or else Marche will ruin everything.

Characters: Mjrn, Jote, Doctor Tot Progress: On-going. Summary: The Viera pay Doctor Tot a visit, eager for more answers. Location: Treno Date: May, 1803 Warnings: Lots of exposition?
