Friendly Reminder to Not Be Like Him...

[immortalmarshal]

[The feed opens up to reveal Cor in his traveling clothes, sitting near a beach. It's sunrise, and it looks rather lovely....

Except for the fact that Cor himself looks like he's had the snot beaten out of him, bloody bandages and all.]

Just a question - anyone else noticed that all the monsters have grown more aggressive than normal lately? Pretty sure that they're not supposed to be this eager to tear people apart.

If any Natives know if this is a regular occurrence, feel free to let the rest of us know.

[He pauses as he adjusts the bandages around one arm.]

...doesn't feel like it's normal, though...

[The last bit is muttered just as the feed is turned off.]

[ Regis blinks into the feed, then closes his eyes. ]

Do you need me to come pick you up with a pair of chocobos?

[ Because... right now that's the help he can offer. Perhaps he should pick up a healing job of some description.

And, yes, he will be bringing potions. Sadly, can't make them anymore. ]

[immortalmarshal]

[Cor looks a little like a schoolboy who just disappointed his favorite teacher.]

...you're sure about that? I can still walk okay, just not as fast as I'd like...

[regisrex]

[ It's not that Regis is disappointed. It's just that he's worried raw, and beyond raw, so every little bit seems like it is too much.

Still. ]

And walking slower and bleeding will make you that much more of a target. Please send me the coordinates.

[immortalmarshal]

[Really, he hadn't meant to be this beaten up...]

...You always make too much sense on this stuff...

[But the coordinates are being sent as requested.]

[regalblaze]

Thank you for passing the notice, Marshal. Are you feeling alright?

[He can see that his Majesty is already on his way to him to pick him up so Ignis focuses on the second troublesome part of this.]

I suppose this puts our estate and houses in jeopardy, especially the chocobos. I will get Ravus and Prompto to survey the area for security reasons.

[voice]

[immortalmarshal]

[Yes, and he may also notice that Cor was talked into taking a potion by said Majesty. Almost like it's a habit between them.] Hard to say. I haven't seen any signs of them coming closer to the farms, but it wouldn't hurt to take a few extra precautions. I'd hate to lose any of the chicks and kittens. [...Six, how many of the former they still have?]

[voice]

[regalblaze]

[It's a good thing because Ignis can suggest taking potion but he can't make him take it. At least someone around here can convince Cor otherwise.]

Indeed. If the animals and creatures are growing restless, they might try to hunt down easy prey. Especially the carnivore types.

[And there's no easier prey than helpless chocochiks.]

[ A bespectacled woman responds, adjusting her glasses as she speaks. ]

You mean this isn't how they usually are?

I guess that makes sense... People did seem more worried about the monster presence in the outskirts...

Video

[immortalmarshal]

[Don't mind him still looking rather beaten up - it's just not quite as bad after a certain someone reminded him to take one last potion on his person.]

Not that I'm aware of, no.

And normally, the wildlife will only attack you if you enter their territory or hunt them down for causing trouble to people.

Re: Video

[beariot]

Sounds like a lot of trouble... trouble you've apparently already ran into.

I'm definitely going to need an escort if I leave the Curti Center, aren't I?

v i d e o ;

[keymemory]

[ Sora's shocked that Cor would be looking that torn up! Didn't he bring a healer, didn't he want to invite him to go with him? Didn't he need some sort of backup?! What is going on here?! ]

Heeeeey?!

v i d e o

[immortalmarshal]

[Oh, Six; it's that kid from before. And...why is the kid worried about him? He doesn't look that bad, after taking that last potion... (Hint, he still does, mostly.)]

...what?

v i d e o

[keymemory]

[ What you mean what.. Sora gives Cor the stink eye. ]

'Sup with you? Why you going out there all getting hurt and stuff!

[Video]

[findingbeasts]

Something has been agitating all of the creatures that live around here. When I first arrived many of them were prone to attacking to chase unwanted visitors off but as of late...

[Look, he really doesn't like viewing them as monsters and there has to be an explanation for their behavior.]

Are you alright? Well, going to be alright I suppose I should say. What did you cross paths with exactly?

[Video]

[immortalmarshal]

Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed.

And it was one of the bigger fishes - one that they said could only be made edible by a master chef. Just didn't realize that it had many friends.

...I'll be fine. Been thru worse.

[Video]

[findingbeasts]

Some of the ones I have managed to approach without too much easier have been far less tolerant of my presence as of late.

[Just when he'd been getting close enough to really jot down details in his notebook too.

Newt can't help but frown a bit.]

Well most creatures do tend to have a family unit of some sort they live with, unless of course they're something like a dragon. Aren't there smaller fish you could be using for food in this case?

[kuposcreed]

Kupo~

[While hearing that word out of Bonnie isn't uncommon, there's a worried lilt to it.]

Um, I don't know if there's a specific thing getting them riled up but...this time of year might be troublesome, kupo. Back on Crystallis there were these moogles who would try to summon their ancient king, King Moggle Mog. They always dealt in dark magics and sometimes the some of the Heroes would get possessed and think the rest of us were their enemies, kupo. And then there was the giant marshmallow moogle.

Um, anyway, if this world is related to mine, then this might also be related, kupo...

[immortalmarshal]

[Cor sighs in response that worried 'kupo'. But he does appreciate Bonnie being concerned about him...a little.]

Relax, it's not as bad as it looks.

[He does look curious upon hearing her explanation.]

I'll keep that in mind...but who exactly was King Moogle Mog? I don't think any of our moogles have mentioned him before...

[kuposcreed]

He was a great moogle king of legend, if you believe the stories kupo. But there are some who believed he would give them their power if they worshiped him.

[She frowns, trying to remember what she can about those weird cultist moogles from back home. It never felt like that thread of things got fully resolved or answered, unless maybe she missed something.]

To be honest, it's not a legend I ever really had much interest in. I was more a fan of the legends and prophecies about the Heroes of Light. Heh, I guess my legend was better than theirs, kupo.

[geckoman]

[Based on the looks of this guy? He's going to pay attention to this warning.]

Were they not as aggressive before?

[He new here. He figures the best way to get info is to ask for it.]

Video;

[immortalmarshal]

[Both very sound choices to be making right now.]

Not quite as much, from my own personal experience. There's a difference between 'get out of my territory' violent and just...what just happened to me.

[geckoman]

Yeah you look like you tried to be dinner then changed your mind.

[He could sugar coat that but nah.]

[sullenstallion]

Sometimes, we get violent just because we want to be.

Maybe it's your face.

[immortalmarshal]

Last I checked, you don't count as one for this issue.

Unless it's affected you as well?

[sullenstallion]

You don't get to make that decision.

And yeah. I'm affected. I'm feeling really pissed off lately.

[He's not technically affected, he's just looking for someone to yell at over unrelated issues.]
