[ 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... ]

While I can't say I've met a little kid fitting such description and this is the first I've heard of 'linkshell'. I'll have to ask Cristo-san about it. However, you're not the first to mention a "she" taking issue with one or all of us.

Did she show you any pictures of the 'she'? I think I met the same girl.

...she wanted to see a storybook about 'The Four Ancient Heroes'. Said there are two different versions of it.

[Futaba...?]

...when did this person threaten you? And did she mention how?

I don't know about that stuff with the little girl--maybe she's connected to that weird doomsday moogle?--but I'm Indian, so I can weigh in a little bit on the linkshell name.

Kali is traditionally the goddess of destruction in Indian mythology, but can also be translated to 'black' in Hindi. As far as Shashidhwaja, it's the name of a raja (rajas were Indian high nobility, sorta like a king or prince) who challenged Kalki, an incarnation of the preserver god Vishnu who was dedicated to wiping evil from the face of the Earth. Kalki willingly surrendered to marry Shashidhwaja's daughter, making Shashidhwaja one of the only figures in Indian mythology to "defeat" an incarnation of Vishnu. This was probably because Shashidhwaja wasn't actually that bad.

Admittedly, the connotations of this are... worrying. As 'Black' in most ancient mythos refers to something evil, and if it doesn't translate to black then it translates to the literal actual goddess of evil and destruction that Kalki fought, the meaning of this name is either two things: an evil challenger to a god who got killed during the fight (because he would actually be evil in this case); or the inverse, an evil challenger who fought a god and won. Another possibility is that this name implies Shashidhwaja being an incarnation of the goddess Kali herself, which is another big problem. I'm not an expert, so any corrections/feedback would be appreciated!

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER YET, BUT I CAN KEEP AN EYE OUT!!! IT'S A VERY BUSY PLACE, AFTER ALL. BEST NOT TO LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED.

[Although... that she comment. That's unsettling. It reminds him of an encounter he had earlier, and- oh. That is a very dark image. He's not sure what to make of that.]

SAY, DO YOU THINK THIS "SHE" IS THE SAME "SHE" THAT FUNNY MOOGLE WAS RAVING ABOUT? I RECALL HIM SAYING ALL THIS NONSENSE ABOUT US BEING DOOMED. HOW SILLY OF HIM... AND YET THIS GIRL SEEMED EQUALLY CONVINCED.

STILL, HOW BAD COULD IT TRULY BE? SO FAR, EVERYTHING SEEMS VERY PEACEFUL. PERHAPS THERE'S SIMPLY A WEIRD CONSPIRACY AFOOT.

There was a moogle outside shouting that "she" was coming and the end was near. Might be related.

omfg was that crazy moogle actually telling the truth? lol??

uh i don't think i met the weird girl ur talking about even if i did meet some weirdos but you sound pretty cursed.

I did. She approached me in the gardens of the center, but disappeared after a short conversation. I was concerned for her, as she appeared to have no guardians present. Has she been seen since?

so if were alone, that purple eyed lady will get us?

Please be careful, Futaba!
What if people don't want us to know about this? (⊃д⊂)

I saw her when I was waiting for those medical check-ups. I don't ever recall her from when we first woke up though. She said the people here are nice but they're the ones with the problem and they need us more than we need them.

Was she also trying to avoid giving her name to anyone else? She asked me to sing along with her because it makes her feel better.

I will admit, these findings are a little concerning. But as only four of you saw this girl, I’d advise another check up and more rest. As it's been two days, you could just now be experiencing a delay in bodily effects having to adjust to this world, or you were not entirely honest in your check-ups.

[ She's never had to put the disclaimers before, why this. ]

That girl— she gave you these drawings?

Hey.

Just wanted to check and make sure you were alright. No idea what that lady's deal was but that wasn't cool.

I'd suggest not engaging that woman any further. No matter she says it isn't worth it.

At this point she's doing no one any favors, least of all herself or you.

So, that aside. Doing alright?
