01. AIRSHIPS!! [Text]

[mech_and_mutt]

I didn't know we were gonna get the chance to get our own airships! I know I missed being able to wake up and see nothing but sky and clouds out the window. Made drying the laundry a lot easier, too.

But that kinda got me thinking- you couldn't get very far without an airship back where I came from, but a lot of the people I've talked to have said they've never seen anything like them before! I know a few people here have had SOME sort of flying machine back in their world, though. If yours did too, I gotta know- what were they like?

For that matter, how many other pilots do we HAVE here, anyway?

principle of it. primals like the dreadwyrm need prayer and aether to sustain their form. less people who think on him the better. an' nobody ought to know the truth of what louisoix did for the same reason.

[mech_and_mutt]

So you're saying they actually get stronger the more people believe in them?

Or should I not even think about it?

[littlemhigan]

yes and probably.

most primals temper more followers to make them stronger. its one of the reasons theyre so dangerous.

[mech_and_mutt]

Hey, you know what? Let's talk about something else! [So he can stop thinking about this whole power-of-belief thing, because frankly it's a little disturbing to think about-- especially he can't actually get the thought out of his head.]

So you guys don't have a moon anymore, huh?

[littlemhigan]

we still have one! in eorzea we call her menphina.

[mech_and_mutt]

Is that the moon, or is that the name of some kinda Goddess inside it?

Who has two thumbs and forgot her text tags? THIS GAL.

[littlemhigan]

menphina is the name of the moon goddess. sometimes we call her the lover. in all my wanderings ive found her to have a lot of names.

[mech_and_mutt]

Oh. So it's both. Your world's got some weird moons.

That one never came down, I hope?

[littlemhigan]

no its still where it should be, thankfully. menphina is much larger than dalamud was.

[mech_and_mutt]

Here's hoping that whole moon-drop thing doesn't end up repeating in the future.

I know it's nothing anyone should HAVE to worry about, but the whole world-ending thing can happen multiple times if you're not careful. Trust me on this one.

[littlemhigan]

yes i dont think we would survive a second one right now. an eigth umbral era might be the end of us right now.
