[Set before the Imperial Dinner, after Vax gets back from the Dream Width. DOIN' THE TIME WARP.]

Have any of you ever disappeared before? I think I must have been in the Dream Width. I woke up on an airship.

It looks like it has more than I thought could happen out there. I've gotten some new memories of things back home.

three worth noting. a lot more that aren't. the big old ones really dont play games.

i needed some help, especially with nidhogg. he was wroth to stay dead.

im sorry about your hometown.

[daggercubed]

I prefer the fuckers I have to deal with stay dead.

it's... shit, yeah, but shit happens.

I wish I was there to help them. So others didn't die. Except they didn't seem to think I was gone -- and I didn't think I was either. Like I remembered into the future.

[littlemhigan]

turns out enough hate and enough aether make death a joke. who knew?

same thing happened to me. like i dreamed about my life continuing, and woke up at the worst possible time...on an airship a whole week later. id be lying if i said i dont wish i could go back. i worry for my friends.

[daggercubed]

yeah... I get that

this shit's not natural. it's not how we're meant to think. it fucks with you yeah?

but then this place needs us too clearly

[littlemhigan]

we're here for a reason.

we have to be.

i thought maybe the mothercrystal sent me here and that shed call me home in time. but now i don't know. i think we were pulled, not pushed, you know?

oof sorry, end of week and weekend were stupid

[daggercubed]

i'm inclined to agree

we've all got different gods. you've got this mothercrystal. i've got the matron.

seems like the gods or fate or whatever is here needed us.

[littlemhigan]

oh.

that reminds me.

do you remember that job that showed up on your asterisk? warlock? did you keep it?

[daggercubed]

i dropped that shit like a rock

it seemed dangerous

[littlemhigan]

ok.

thats good.

people tried to talk to that strange name in the linkshell. it got plastered all over the network. give me a minute...

[ And then, moments later... ]

here. i think warlock is a lot more trouble than we thought it was.

[daggercubed]

yeah, that whole thing looked all fucked up.

[A few moments later:]

Shit. This is really fucked. Glad I dropped that shit.

[littlemhigan]

in hindsight it was probably a good idea you did. any curiosity i still had about that job isnt worth how dangerous it just got.

[daggercubed]

Yeah, I have no experience in it, but it seems like "powered by calamity" is a pretty bad idea.

[littlemhigan]

well.

im glad you got rid of it.

ive dealt with enough calamity powered chocobo shite to last a lifetime.

but we should definitely keep a lookout if that job crops up again.

[daggercubed]

damn right.

some idiot's going to go after it, at some point, aren't they.

[littlemhigan]

i will pay you real gil if that ain't the case.

'who' is another question entirely.

[daggercubed]

yeah.

idiots come in different shades. like all the colors of the rainbow.
