Some of you may have heard, or this is otherwise very last minute, but tomorrow there is a local festival celebrating the contributions and cultures of Otherworlders. It takes place in Min'To, the scholars truly dedicate themselves in the efforts to learn and preserve as much as they can about the Otherworlders. Though it might not seem that way at times, we've always greatly appreciated them throughout our history.
[And with how things were shaping up, maybe this was where they needed to focus their efforts to address the oncoming Calamity. ]
The celebration doesn't have to be limited to Min'To, I don't know if we were successful in distributing enough pamphlets about regional holidays this month in time. If you're comfortable sharing what you love about your cultures and worlds, I'd be honoured to listen and perhaps pass it on to the scholars. Or we can meet in person another time, it isn't something that should be limited to one day.
There is something else I want to ask, however. [ More like several things, in all honesty, but this would already be pushing boundaries. Breathe, Sylvarie. ]
Has anyone else felt they are searching for something... else, here in Vaikuntha? Something more? Something that has been lost.
You don't have to answer, I know it sounds strange. You can ignore this altogether if you wish. Thank you for listening.

Are you planning on going, Sylvarie?

What would you think if I said I was only considering it?

Not that I'm going to force you, obviously, but it's nice to have someone special in the audience I can show off to every now and then.
[That, and there'll be no end to Patches' whining if they never get to perform for Sylvarie. He's really grown quite attached to the girl -- as has Uendo.]

Cybertron has not achieved much in terms of cultural significance outside of warfare for the past four million years, but I can share what I can recall from memory on our laws, geography, and society. I'm certain that organics would be fascinated by the workings of a mechanical species, and science is just as important as literature when understanding another people.
On another note, I have contact Ganeshan repeatedly in editing his pamphlets centered on the Job System, but he has not incorporated even one of my suggestions. As you work with him, could you convince him to use consistent typefaces across his documents and to adjust the margins to 0.4? Thank you in advance.

[Megatron can deal with all that poetry and fiction of old Cybertron. Most of the famous works that Minimus is familiar with were written by his brother, and he's dealt with living in his shadow long enough.]

You would be correct in that theory, as the closest I know of a ‘mechanical species’ prior to your own arrival are our magitek, and they hardly come close from my observations. In theory, the aspects you mentioned could very well be the culture of your people even if you are not consciously aware it is so.
[ But as far as his other point goes– ]
I may have heard of such a report regarding the pamphlet format, but I don’t have much power of changing it myself. Most of my duties in regards to that lies in distribution. I could try to pleading the case to him and Claire on your behalf.
- Sylvarie Aila Jue.
[ The key word being ‘try,’ because she still. Isn’t capable of much around Ganeshan aside from clamming shut and perhaps unleashing an odd squeak. ]
Re: Text
A cultural exchange between ourselves and organic species would be ideal. I do not want a misunderstanding to create a rift between us, and with starting with the basic introduction to Cybertronians, I can ease into more complex topics such as cultural significance of planet regions. However, I must warn you that I am not a medical professional or blacksmith, and this my knowledge will be very surface level. I will fare better with history.
I understand that your rank relative to Ganeshan impedes your ability to make major changes, but I appreciate your effort. The Curti Centre cannnot be lax on maintaining a high degree of professionalism.

Even sharing history would mean a great deal to us Vaikunthans. We can learn much from what others have gone through, and our own history only goes so far. Much was lost during the Great War, and current circumstances seem as if they can be mediated in some way if we had any knowledge of before that time. Dealing with others, as well, is an exercise in taking into account past interactions throughout history.
In truth, the higher ranking staff can be generous in how lax they treat us and what we may allow us to do, sensitive and private information. But I agree, we cannot be lax in the standards we hold ourselves to.

How recent was the Great War? In my universe, peace has only officially been instated for four years, and we continue to struggle to adjust. Mind you, Cybertronians live for millions of years, so this is a small period of time in our perspective. In my experience, I have found that organic races are quick to adapt. The loss of an old way of life is an frustrating tragedy, but remaining in the past is the antithesis of healing.
I shall prepare a presentation for an introductory lecture to Cybertron. I long for the days when I would regularly present my findings to a group.

I'm afraid that records regarding that war are sparse, of how long ago it was. It could be centuries, it could be millennia, the only thing for certain is that it took our world a long time to recover from it, and we've known peace since.
[ Well, aside from the events of ten years ago... ]
I know for a fact there is always a group willing to listen, it is merely a matter of finding the audience and opportunities to do so. Arito would be a good place to start, though Outworlders are just as inclined as well.

That is a shame. I am no historian, but I appreciate the effort the Vaikunthan natives have made to rebuild society. I have been researching your laws in order to determine where to live, and I am impressed by the depth certain cities take when writing the subclauses. A comprehensive morality system is key to a peaceful world.
That is an encouraging statement. Thank you, Sylvarie. I hope to speak with you again soon.
- Minimus Ambus.

Each country has its own form of governing, but you're right—when it comes to it, we are capable of working together and rebuilding. Curti Center itself was a testament to that even before the current timeline of cycles began.
Likewise Minimus, I do look forward to having the opportunity to speak again.

If you're going to be around, you can find me at the Nohrian pavilion; I'll be happy to answer any questions people have about my home!
I don't believe we've spoken before, though. I'm Corrin, it's good to meet you.
no subject
[ Though, ah... Here was another reminder of her failing duties as a representative of the Center. This was one who who disappeared but returned anew, wasn’t it? ]
The honour is all mine, Corrin. My name is Sylvarie Aila Jue, of the Royal City of Myste Aura, and I have been an employee of Curti Center since shortly before the first wave of outworlders arrived, nearly a year ago. I apologise for not reaching out to you all in the past few months, and I offer no excuse.
no subject
Oh no, please Miss Sylvarie don't worry about it! I'm sure you must be kept plenty busy with your work. I'm happy to meet you now, though. Hey, will you be at the festival? I'd be happy to give you a guided tour of the Nohr exhibit if you'd like.
no subject
I am considering attending the festival, in all honesty it would be my first time going. But if the Center needs me here, this is where I'll be.

Got the weird vivid dreams to prove it, too.
[Text]
Weird dreams?
[Text]
Only started happening around the past year, too. You got anything like those?
[Private]
These... visions? I can only say for certain that there have only been two I am aware of, but how do you know it’s a different you?
[Private]
And this other me's a demon hunter. Imagine that.
[Private]
[ If so, that is indeed hard to imagine. ]
[Private]
What about you? You got a counterpart that raises hamsters or something?
[Private]
But this person would seem to have an older brother and was training to become a soldier, I believe.
[Private]
[Private]
Why would we be experiencing these things, though? Do you think some of what the Empress said has merit?
[Private]
There's one thing I know for sure: Baha Blast isn't gonna give us enough time to find the answers, so Heroes of Light or not? We gotta do our part to stop him.
[Private]
[ B-Baha Blast... ]
And without a doubt, and it is also our duty to aid this new generation of Heroes with all we have. We may not be the Four, but we did survive Leviathan’s trial and the trails of the other Great Eidolons.
[Private]
I actually missed out on Leviathan, believe it or not. Right there in Ka'Pandol and it's the one time I'm out! How is that fair?!
But you still got a point. It's why I make sure none of the new kids go hungry: I had my time being young and reckless. Now it's time to be old and reckless.
[Private]
Were you forced to evacuate? The trial itself didn’t involve very much fighting—some of them even tried to do a dance to convince her to ally with us. But you did miss one of the Outworlders biting her.
[ Biting their Goddess of the Sea, even now she cringed thinking about it. ]
I beg you to please not be too reckless.
[Private]
Don't even have that as an excuse. I was out taking a bite out of a way more common merrow. Still need to figure out who bit Leviathan so I can shake their hand.
(Look, it's not because Dante doesn't respect the Eidolons, but that takes balls. Gourmands, man.)
I wouldn't worry too much about me though; don't really have the asterisks for that. Can't say I'm not tempted, between the dreams and the offworlders' enthusiasm.
[Private]
A young man who went by Hunk, he was amongst the first wave to arrive.
He introduced me to cinnamon rolls.（*＾＾*)
These factors together do seem to encourage a change in attitude, doesn't it?
[Private]
Oh, and saving the world I guess.
