Whaaat am I doing to myself

[gditpalom]

Player, I know that we have just met, and I am appreciative of the opportunity to move around in this space. The worlds between is certainly quite the interesting place! But...


Interesting for a dump, you mean.


INTERESTING as a place where a lot of characters and players convene and communicate intermittently in a mutual and collaborative environment. However, I must mention that I am still an important part of Mysidia, and I am only taking it on faith that my presence here will in no part jeopardize what is going on there. As a leader of my people I'm supposed to be present in the event of any catastrophe that were to occur, and I don't think that waiting around in this place is being responsible!


Sis, the planet was almost wiped out by a moon. I think it can handle a few months without us being there.

Seriously, it's not like you to not think this through. You're starting to slip.


And I SUPPOSE there is nothing there for you to worry about?


No, not really.


Not even... her?


[You just had to say it, didn't you.] I am sure she is fine. She has been trained by me, after all. Besides, if she is going to become a Sage, she needs to be able to handle adversity and not rely on me all the time. You are underestimating her abilities as a mage and as my student. I have confidence in her.

And who's to say that she won't show up here anyway? It's not like we're unique travelers. Look at all these schlobs.


We'll talk about that later.

In the meantime, player, I just hope that you keep in mind that we have responsibilities, just as you do. Please keep in mind that you have a very busy work schedule ahead and that you should address that first. We're going to be here now that you've made us. There is no sense in making things harder for yourself just because you think we'd be more fun.

Sincerely,

Porom of Mysidia.

...Palom, sign this.


Nah.

There's a lot of people around, that's for sure.

Can you really deny that a break every so often would be good for them?

[stfuporom]

She doesn't believe in breaks.

Or anything fun, really.

[wanderingbreeze]

Really? That seems odd… I couldn't imagine anyone getting to your age without finding something they enjoyed.

[stfuporom]

Well, sure. She enjoys bossing people around and making everybody else miserable.

[gditpalom]

*THWAP*

[gditpalom]

...it's not that I don't believe that a break is good. It's just that there is a fine line between taking a break and shirking responsibility.

[wanderingbreeze]

Well… yes, that's true. But you're going to help them manage that walk, right?

[gditpalom]

Yes, but there is only so much I can do. A person can be deaf to the voice of reason for only so long before it has dire consequences.

[wanderingbreeze]

… Yeah. But they can't blame you for trying.

[warring_triad]

[Have a Kefka floating overhead just listening for a bit. The banter is amusing enough, but he sees an opportunity for a bit of fun, especially considering the talk of magic.]

[To Porom:] Geeze, sounds like someone needs to use less starch in their shorts.

[To Palom:] She always this stuffy~?

[stfuporom]

[You know, he's used to a certain degree of eccentricity but...]

Have you always been so bright?

[warring_triad]

I would hope so, m'boy~! In fact, you could use some brightening up yourself! How you manage to manipulate the chaotic fabrics of the cosmos without being physically embraced by them is beyond me.

[Yeeeeeeah, not even registering that as an insult.]

[stfuporom]

[The player can't help but see Kefka draping himself in the American flag...]

Because I rather pick out the colors on my own and not have my wardrobe decided by a colorblind person.

Seriously, I know it's usually an insult to suggest that one shouldn't dress themselves, but in your case I would consider it as a real possibility.

[gditpalom]

[Porom just... sighs. And is too polite to mention how weird Kefka looks. Either that or it's just an FF thing to not really notice? Hard to tell.]

He has a point. He's just being pigheaded about it. As always.

[warring_triad]

I don't see what the problem is. He was simply paying a compliment where it was due~!

[He narrows his eyes a bit at li'l miss stuffy.]

Unlike somebody.

[gditpalom]

?

[No, really, she's just going to look confused and wonder if Kefka (Cefca?) will start making sense...]

[yang_fang_leiden]

I see you two get along as well as ever.

[stfuporom]

[Actually, Yang's appearance perks him up considerably.]

Oh hey, it's Mister Yang! How's the old woman? You've been getting some okay?

[gditpalom]

*WHAP*

[stfuporom]

--OW!

Geez, that still smarts.

[yang_fang_leiden]

[See how Yang does not smack some sense into the boy. Because he is more collected than that.]

Sheila is quite well, thank you.

[gditpalom]

Lord Yang Fang Leiden. It is very nice to see that you have made it here safely.

[She curtsies graciously, as always.]

Please forgive my brother, he's being impetuous as always.

[yang_fang_leiden]

It is good to see you as well, Porom. You've both grown sense I saw you last.

[gditpalom]

Has it? I must admit with some disdain it has been a while since I have been to the Kingdom of Fabul. My duties keep me busy, I'm afraid. The only time I ever had the chance to get out was to go to Troia to train their Epots on occasion.

[yang_fang_leiden]

[A small nod.]

I understand too well the burdens of duty. I am lucky to still have opportunities to leave the castle for training.
