“Y’know what the key to winnin’ is?” Meiko could not help but strike up conversation with the wee Raen whom she had just watched lose at the crane game twelve times in a row. Even she got something after three or four tries! “Have a drink afore tryin’ again. Calms the nerves.”

This was a confidently stated lie. There was no secret outside of timing. But even if the lass told her to fuck off, sometimes an interruption was necessary on such a losing streak.

Urianger is seated on the ground with his work on a spread cloth before him, the shards of an aetheryte beginning to take form floating. Eden lies still asleep in the distance. He doesn't look up when Faelux approaches, instead preferring to focus on shaping the strands of metal in his hands. "I hath not yet finished, I am afraid. Is there something which thou need'st? Ware against taxing thyself in this atmosphere, it will take greater toll than thou expecteth." The Empty will gnaw on magic, and Faelux will be needing all of hers.

@paradoxeyed ♥'ed for a starter!

𝙱𝙴𝙽𝙴𝙰𝚃𝙷 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝚆𝙴𝙻𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚄𝙻'𝙳𝙰𝙷 𝚂𝚄𝙽, the city lay empty. This was the time of day her citizens retreated to the shadows, seeking solace in a cold drink or mid-afternoon nap. Only people with places to be – people like her – braved the baking cobblestone streets. Eydis paused only long enough to check her notes before hurrying off in the direction of the thaumaterge’s guild. With each step the heat of the road radiated through her soles, chasing her through the Steps of Nald. By the time she scurried between the wide, oaken doors into the cool marble entry way of the guild, she could have sighed in relief. 

The attendants at the desk pointed her through a hallway where a myriad of smaller rooms awaited. Some of the doors obscured the quiet murmur of voices. Even more of them were silent – ominously so. Yet when she came at last to the door they directed her to, it was a friendly voice that bid her to enter once she knocked. 

Again, she pulled the crumpled note from her pocket, squinting to read the name, “Faulux?” 

“I have a delivery for you. Fresh from the botanist’s guild!”

Thancred slightly raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the comment at first before turning his gaze away.

"Now, now, no need to get all sentimental," he teased, lips turning upward into a smirk. "I was quite different back then... So much had changed, people came and went. Such is life."

@paradoxeyed

He spent almost a month in Eorzea searching for their champion. All he got were rumors and concerned murmurs. It wasn't hard for him to piece together that people didn't know what had happened. It wasn't until he ventured to the frozen land on Coerthas that he finally heard mention of them. The people in the cold wasteland were not friendly in the slightest, but he didn't need them to be. It was simple enough to blend into the shadows and watch. Even easier when he borrowed power from Circe to cloak him.

He heard them speak of a powerful mage taken in by a wealthy family. He heard them talk about his quarry. He didn't bother waiting to gain entrance into the city. Using his abilities, it was easy for him to slip inside under the cover of night.

Perhaps it was shortsighted. He didn't see anyone else that looked like him there, and despite his ears being smaller than many viera he had seen, they were still not easily hidden. He hoped that if he just kept his head down, people would not regard with much. Even more so if he kept his stalkings to night. If he could find a hiding place during the day, that would be ideal.

He had heard that a family called "Fortemps" had taken her in. And it took only a little bit of scouting to find the home. Noble families always had crests and it didn't take long for him to recognize theirs. He didn't plan on killing anyone yet, but sneaking up on the guard outside was easy enough. With darkness and the powers of the void, he easily knocked him out with a hit to the neck. Hopefully, he'd live.

He climbed up onto the building and waited there. Perhaps he dozed off there even because it felt sudden when he heard the door opening. Peering down, he saw an au ra exiting the home. He had long since spent his resources in terms of magically hiding himself. The sun was rising, though it was hidden behind dark clouds.

Hlynur dropped down from the roof, landing on the ground and rolling to absorb the impact. It hurt only a little. He rose quickly to his full height, crimson eyes glaring at his target. Even if he was not supposed to kill the so-called hero...

"I've found you, Warrior of Light."

Hlynur was severely lacking in basic knowledge of how to approach people. And he didn't even realize it.

@paradoxeyed meets an unlikely ally in the wild...

The only thing she would find upon awakening was a featureless expanse of gray rock and crooked pine trees.

A bitter chill forewarned of winter's arrival - or whatever cold season encroached upon this part of Wonderland. A thin layer of frost had just barely begun to lick at stone and bark alike, weaving translucent patterns. Wherever the eye reached, only nature reigned, no sliver of civilization in view. Two suns shone high in the skies, their cold eyes overseeing the migration of birds.

Deeper into the woods, lay a carcass of a once fearsome beast.

It was unmistakably reptilian, mossy scales a splendid camouflage. Its massive body lay flat on the belly, dark red blood trailing from several jagged puncture wounds. Too unnatural a death to be the work of some other beast. Were those... bullet holes? What caliber gun could rip open a hide this strong? Surely it was no standard hunter's tool.

...The silence filling the forest was suddenly interrupted. Something that sounded like a growl, welling up from within the beast, and the carcass stirred.

What happened, however - was hardly a miraculous resurrection. The giant lizard was still dead, not about to pounce on the poor lost traveler even as its maw opened.

Sword-like teeth lifted to reveal a bothered-looking man, climbing out as fast as he possibly could. A quick, irked glance was shot her way, a half-death glare half-you saw nothing type of look. Indeed, a first impression could hardly be more bizarre - not everyday did one get to meet another soul in the middle of nowhere, especially not as they arose from the middle of a monster's mouth.

"What?" The man grumbled. He looked notably uninjured, if a bit damp. A single gloved hand reached into red locks to remove a strand of goopy saliva. "You lost?"

@paradoxeyed / continued.

his shielded violet eyes follow her every movement. this stranger is tense, and rightly so; although they were less in quantity now, there are still quite an amount of dangerous beasts that live along these twisting mountain paths. ( dangerous beasts aside from him, that is. ) Clear, sitting on a nearby boulder, leans forward slightly.

he's never seen her before, but that much can be said of a lot of people. regardless, she doesn't seem to be openly hostile to him. he appreciates that. she may be one of the few non-comodeen that he can hold a brief conversation with; as such, her sharp inquires are met with a kind smile and a friendly chuckle.

"guilty as charged. i have been watching you. i didn't want you to run into an upset admantoise, although you seem to avoid danger quite well."

the boy-like beast kicks his legs idly, tilting his head a little.

"i don't come from here, but i do live in this quiltwork of worlds. how 'bout you? do you live here?"

  “ It pleases me to see how well you have bonded, “  His smile is warm, his tone carrying a hint of genuine pride and affection as he reaches to pet Faelux’ chocobo right ‘neath the beak, cooing at it softly when it leans its head into the touch with a pleased whistle.  “ Have you given her a name yet? “  / @paradoxeyed​

         “Now, now. I do not believe my fellow au ra has any interests in such matters.” Her reaction to that little machine the other day said as much. “In turn, I have no interests in her like that, nor do I desire pushing such boundaries by taking her out on dates. Everyone has their preferences and I can comprehend her liking for seclusion.”

     ah , yes , the  perfect  excuse  to  talk  about  alexei . beloved , soft , caring man , lovek’s  birth  father  is  just . the  best . it  is  unfortunate  that  lovek  was  not  actually  raised  by  alexei , but  that  wouldn’t  be  the  first  child  alexei  has  had  slip  through  his  fingers  --  one  lost  through  no  choice  of  his  own  with  his  first  wife , and  the  other  lost  in  a  desperate  and  irrational  attempt  to  keep  him  safe .       for  most  of  alexei’s  life , being  a  dutiful  garlean  citizen  and  joining  the  army  was  all  he  ever  imagined  for  his  life . that’s  the  only  thing  he  thought  he  was  capable  of  doing , and  he  was  quite  a  good  soldier , too . he  did  what  he  was  told , and  he  made  sure  his  troops  did  what  they  were  told , too , the  further  up  the  ladder  he  went .       marriage , most  definitely , was  not  something  he  considered  in  his  future , either , but  his  parents  have  always  been  quite  keen  on  sustaining  or  climbing  higher  in  status , so  when  marriage  was  proposed  to  him  between  another  high  standing  family  and  his  own , there  was  no  real  choice  in  the  matter . he  did  what  he  was  told  to  do , always .      but  they  hated  each  other . or , his  wife  hated  alexei . she  was  certain  she  wanted  nothing  to  do  with  him , and  that  worked  just  fine  to  alexei . it  made  him  dedicate  more  time  to  his  military  career .       however , when  his  first  born  was  conceived , alexei  had  to  put  his  military  career  on  hold . that  meant  that  he  had  to  spend  a  lot  more  time  with  her . she  was  abusive , and  nasty , to  him . the  only  thing  she  cared  about  was  the  baby , and  she  made  sure  he  knew  it  every  day .       when  she  was  born , alexei  never  even  had  the  chance  to  hold  her . and  he  was  hardly  given  enough  time  to  recover , either , from  the  ordeal  before  he  was  basically  removed  from  her  home .       afterwards , alexei  decided  his  mind  should  return  completely  to  his  duty  as  a  soldier , trying  to  rub  away  the  sore  ache  of  being  denied  the  right  to  see  his  daughter  &  the  failed  marriage  he  had  absolutely  no  control  over .      it’s  not  very  long  after  that  alexei  was  caught  in  a  battle  gone  bad , and  became  grievously  injured . his  troops  and  the  army  retreated  from  the  field , leaving  most  of  the  wounded  behind , including  alexei .     he  considered  himself  as  good  as  dead , which  disturbed  him  more  because  he  felt  sort  of  relieved  at  the  thought . it  was  just  his  luck , though , that  people  on  the  enemy  field  were  kind  enough  to  take  all  of  the  injured , even  the  garleans . probably  to  parle .     this  is  actually  where  he  met  rena , lovek’s  mother . she  was  a  sharlayan  scholar  venturing  around  the  world  to  learn  more  about  natural  phenomenon , and  just  happened  to  run  into  a  battlefield . she  offered  aid  and  succor  to  the  injured , and  especially  to  alexei .      their  initial  relationship  was  tumultous . alexei  was  a  stubborn  man , something  that  lovek  inherited  from  him , and  rena  challenged  all  his  beliefs . challenged  all  his  life  choices . challenged  his  mindset  of  being  solely  a  soldier , nothing  more  nothing  less .     something  about  that  challenge  appealed  greatly  to  alexei , and  after  months  of  recovering , he  decided  to  stick  to  rena’s  side . they  traveled  together  for  a  long  time , years  of  growing  up  spent  with  one  another , until  eventually  it  evolved  into  something  more . something  special .     eventually  they  settled  back  down  in  sharlayan , alexei’s  third  eye  covered  and  his  identity  obscured , and  not  soon  after  they  concieved  lovek . alexei  was  the  happiest  he  had  ever  been  in  his  entire  life , and  the  joy  and  freedom  of  expression  he  saw  within  sharlayan  inspired  him  to  explore  his  own  expressionism .      he  actually  began  to  do  art . he  took  a  deep  liking  to  drawing , and  was  quite  good  at  make  little  characters . while  he  did  more  professional  looking  art , after  lovek  was  born  he  began  making  comics  of  his  experience  as  a  father . he  published  them  to  newspapers , and  his  art  was  quite  loved  by  sharlayan  as  a  whole . his  comics  were  a  weekly  highlight .      and  for  8  years  there  was  pure  peace  in  alexei’s  life , completely  undisturbed . until  it  all  came  crashing  around  them .       alexei’s  identity  as  a  garlean  came  to  light  during  an  altercation , in  which  the  cover  over  his  eye  slipped  off , revealing  it  for  all  to  see . most  people  simply  stared , shocked , but  alexei  began  to  panic . like , hardcore  panic .      there  were  dangerous  people  who  hated  garleans  that  lived  in  sharlayan , or  who  lived  all  over  eorzea , and  without  sitting  down  to  think  about  it  and  give  opportunity  to  anyone , alexei  rushed  to  get  lovek  and  take  him  and  return  to  the  only  place  he  knew  he’d  be  safe .      it  might  seem  irrational , or  like  alexei  went  0  to  100  really  quickly , but  i  promise  it  was  just  the  fear  alone , and  alexei’s  fear  was  overpowering . he  was  still  under  the  hold  of  years  of  propoganda , fueled  by  the  few  times  he  had  witnessed  discussion  of  garleans , and  thought  his  safety was  genuinely  only  because  his  identity  was  obscured . he  would  not  take  a  single  chance  when  it  came to  the  safety  of  his  son .      so   he  returned  to  garlemald , where  he  was  captured  with  lovek  --  they  were  seperated , lovek  being  taken  to  his  grandparents  home , and  alexei  taken  to  prison  for  desertion . he  still  sits  there , in  prison , to  this  day , and  while  he  regrets  leaving  rena  like  that  he  is  not  remorseful  of  lovek  being  safe .

@paradoxeyed

Log: Day XXXX

I have managed to recover from my more grievous injuries, but I am not at liberty to take on more arduous tasks just yet. Everyone keeps hovering over me, checking on me and asking how I am feeling. 'Tis overwhelming at times, but I understand their concern.

What surprised me, however, was Fealux's concerns. Her eyes will forever haunt me... Since the battle with Ran'jit, I have done much self-reflecting regarding my station within the Scions, the relationship with my companions, and then of course...Minfilia.

My heart was laid bare that day. I like to think she was there with me, but I suppose I will never know. That is one secret I will keep close to my chest...

I must move forward now. Being stuck in the First has changed me, and mayhaps not for the better. The Scions need me... My friends need me. She needs me, now more than ever.

I need to give Fealux my thanks when I get the chance.

❝ what you looking for? ❞ [For the twins, from Faelux in her FFU verse~!]

Don't Know What Meme This Came From lMAO

Ai already found herself unwilling to speak with this person right away, especially about who they were searching for. It may be a question about the short term or the long term, but the young girl among them didn't care... She just didn't know who this person was, and she certainly didn't trust her with that information, much less in having their best interests at heart.

Yu, however, was much happier to divulge such a thing to the other, or at least part of their whole situation. "We've been looking for someone we'd been traveling with for a while, but lost sight of. Her name's Lisa, have you seen her?" Although all that earns him is a sigh from his sister, he decides against backing down in that moment. "She could be able to help, what's the big deal?"

"The "big deal" is that most of the people we've met in Wonderland have been either super unhelpful, really mean, or tried to kill us! You've really gotta stop telling everyone everything you can about us," she rebuffs, in a whispering voice that wasn't really all as quiet as she would have hoped. But at this point, she changes her positioning to face the woman in question. "Why do you even wanna know, anyway? What're you trying to do?"
