[ It'd kinda taken a backseat with everything else going on, but there's still something that's been bothering her a bit. She could just dismiss it as a kid making things up but... after everything she's experienced here, and back home, she's got a gut feeling there's more to it.

She can't search the internet like she used to but... well that doesn't mean crowdsourcing is off the table. ]

Hey, did anybody else run into a weird girl on their first day here? A little kid, blonde hair.

Also does anybody know what the name of this "linkshell" means? Kali Shashidhwaja. She mentioned that, along with telling me that "she" would try to hurt me if I ever lost it and was alone.

[ As a final note, she added the two pictures the girl had doodled, described as follows: " There was a crude drawing of a feminine figure with purple eyes standing over what appeared to be the corpses of a human and a moogle, looking a bit eerily similar to Futaba and her moogle even though the drawing was crude. " Along with "This time the figures looking like Futaba and her moogle were standing alive, and were surrounded by other figures. They faced toward the purple-eyed figure, who seemed to be fleeing."

And now, to see what information others might have... ]

Anything at all could help.

...we'll figure this out together. Whatever is going on or went on before, it feels too much lines up to dismiss it.

And too many people saw the same thing for it to be a figment or a hallucination. [His flash backs and hallucinations are not little girls. They're always about his imprisonment.]

Then you'll look into this with us? As I've said elsewhere even if they may not be linked together. There is something of a pattern that would do investigating.

None of us are connected and yet, here we are.

[ Hm. Sounds like another local. Unfortunately Sylvarie's response has hit too many personally sensitive spots for her to be... entirely enthusiastic about this. But. Still. ]

If you could help us find the local lore and creation myths, that would help us a lot, thanks.

I will. I'll see what Cid has to say about it and report back as soon as I've put things together.

That's fair enough. Over fifty all at once after the last were only a duo... who knows if it'll take another number of years or happen again tomorrow. Unpredictability is terrifying.

That shouldn't be too difficult to arrange. One of our stops in the Job Tour happens to be Arito, and it's the pinnacle of academic achievement on this planet. We'll find some answers there, or more questions, but it will be something either way.

Doesn't it bother you it was this many displaced at once? Has there ever been an instance like this in recorded history?

To be clear, I'm not asking for personal information. Just inquiring to get a baseline of the fluxing of this rift.

I wasn't able to get her real name, so I asked what did she want to be called instead.

Ashelia. I don't know if that name has any meaning, but it's better than nothing.

Still, it's odd that she's only appeared to a handful of us. I don't think it's a coincidence though. Things like this usually aren't.

Normally, we'd be concerned with even just a few. This is the first time this has happened. ... In some other countries they may be excited to regard you like aliens, but I'm sorry to say if I told you of the previous otherworlders you might get discouraged with your current state.

You sure you want to know?

i havent been paying attention but maybe
i lived with someone with purple eyes before though so i thought there ight be one here somewhere too

what kind of thing could change your eye color though

[ Okay that was. Actually kind of endearing. Although honestly this was kind of more like some kind of DLC, or an expansion pack on an MMO. She's... she'll let it be, for now though. In recognition of Makoto's effort. ]

Yeah, something like that.

I guess I can probably look into it, at least.

[ She'll never be completely sure until she gives it a try, at least. ]

How should I know? Maybe magic?

[ She's a fifteen year old hacker from Shibuya suffering from internet withdrawal what do you want from her ]

Yes, usually things like this start small. I'm not ready to cast a judgement about what it is or why. We know too little. But this is something worth watching for.

Speaking of names, I'm Shiro.

You mean like jobs n stuff, right?

[ That thing she and Makoto have been talking about a bit. ]

Yeah, I have no idea where to even begin guessing what the four of us have in common.

[ She doesn't know much about these guys yet. Heck she's only even met Shiro outside of the Mognet. But well. Names are a start, one supposes? ]

Futaba Sakura.

i guess magic makes sense
mabye that girl knows omre
wherever she went

[He's a ?-year-old rapunzel suffering from lack of education he's trying]

It's better to know as much as we can now. While everything is still fresh in our minds. Go ahead.

Alright then. The last time this happened, I was still a child. The most recent two are Biggs and Wedge, I think I saw this already mentioned. The ones before them were a very long time ago; whatever world they were from, they've more than likely ever given up hope they could go back to where they came from. You can imagine why we don't want to dump "you can never go back" on anyone, Biggs and Wedge themselves claim they have a war to win, but it's been a whole decade since they arrived. Who knows if it's already been won or lost.

I see.

[There's a pause, for whatever reason isn't clear at first.]

I can't speak for the others but that's not the reason I'm investigating this. We have two strange events, maybe more out there in the world at large occurring at once.

This many displaced, strange little girl more than one person saw. My world's rules don't apply here, I know that. But back home we'd have seen this as a glaring sign to pay attention and get to the bottom of what might be causing it. Before it found us unprepared.

Whether my stay is a long one or not, I won't ignore what could be a problem. It could be nothing. But it's better to be safe than sorry when events that have never happened before start occurring.

That's admirable of you. I'd think most people would be concerned with their own family and friends' missing them, if not wanting to go home in itself. To be displaced and immediately care about us, I'm torn between being moved or worried. It's probably a mix of both.

If this is the start of something, I pray you're right that it's even possible to be prepared for it. Aside from the closing off of the Sen Devatta Empire from the rest of Vaikuntha ten years back, not much has happened in recent history.

[ooc: also in the earlier tag when he mentioned "be reborn in that world" he was solely referring to Crystallis. He has no idea if it carried over to this one, if his hunch is right.]

I'm not sure. The only two I know of here that are aware of Crystallis before I spoke up are my father and the moogle who followed my mother's girlfriend. The first only knows what she's told him because he was at home the entire time.

I'm honestly surprised that silly moogle hasn't spoken up already, actually.

I'm not giving up on my home. Maybe somewhere along the way answers to a way back can be found. We don't know until we try.

For what it's worth, I hope I'm wrong. Unfortunately, when one seemingly impossible thing happens. More are right behind it.

That's what I've been thinking. Especially since I doubt anyone else here would have a hallucination about a little girl, and I didn't see her.

[Will he spill more deets about that? Nnnope. No one can pay him enough to go through that particular trauma conga line of his own volition.]

Kiddilion - James Kidd, Bonnie's Hero
Nakagawa - My family's name, likely named after my mother
Arito - Minato Arisato
Lydeet Fields - Lydia Deetz

And those are just the ones that made me stop and read again a few times.

Let's note these four for now. It's a start and we can revisit this as more come to mind.

As I understand it. Hallucinations don't tell you about a world you know nothing about and lead you to a book you have never seen before. Even from that angle it doesn't add up.

They also don't draw on tablets for you while you watch them.

[ #helping ]

Or that, yeah.
