Who: Allumette Honeycutt
Broadcast: video (to all)
Action: Marsiva
When: nnnnnow!

[ when the feed flickers on, it's focused on a tiny pink-haired woman. the camera is above, obviously not in her grip, dressed in scholar garb. she stomps her foot on the ground and points to the communicator. ]

--Eos!

Put that down this minute! You've not a clue where that's been!

[ there's a quiet twinkling, like the sound of bells--and she looks offended. ]

We are in an unfamiliar world, with unfamiliar--things! Do not make me unsummon you!

[ is that twinkling panicked? ]

Then put it down! Eos, now.

[ slowly, the point of view is lowered until it drops into allumette's claws, and she breathes a sigh of relief. she peers off-screen until a tiny fairy joins her, settling on her shoulder. she pays no mind to her fairy, however, squinting and staring at it. ]

Oh, Thal's balls--it's on.

Comments

[aheroipray]

[ a shrug. ]

Close enough, I suppose.

[sensationate]

Where did she come from? Do you know that much?

i'm pretty sure this is right but i don't really wanna go back into scholar quests...

[aheroipray]

"From"... difficult to say, really. Most of her mythology and information has been lost with Nym--but of the few tablets that have been recovered, there is little to say on her origins.

[sensationate]

That's disappointing. She's rather fascinating, it's terrible that more hasn't survived.

[aheroipray]

I agree, though for many more reasons than just the loss of her sisters.

[sensationate]

What would your reasons be?

[aheroipray]

That's much too heavy for starting conversation.

[sensationate]

[ Jordan offers a grin. It isn't very sympathetic but there's some kind of understanding in it. ]

How long has she been alongside you?

[aheroipray]

Ah... [ here, she starts to count on her fingers. she took up the arcane arts after leviathan, so... ]

A good few months? It's been a while, though not a year.

[sensationate]

She looks rather attached to you considering the time you've spent together.

[ If it's not obvious by now, he doesn't give a shit about Allumette but rather the fairy he doesn't understand. Demons don't work like that. ]

[aheroipray]

I supposed she was like a baby hatchling: quick to latch onto the first creature she saw after being resummoned.

[sensationate]

[ Jordan nods. This person is Eos's then, and he respects that even if Allumette clearly has no idea what that means. ]

So she takes care of you.

1/2

[aheroipray]

[ what. ]

2/2

[aheroipray]

No, certainly not. She's my partner, we heal together when I use my Scholar abilities.

[sensationate]

What are scholar abilities?

[aheroipray]

[ a heavy sigh. ]

Things like this. [ she takes her codex off of her hip and opens it, casting lustrate. it's like a spray of fresh water, rejuvenating--and it's supposed to heal bruises and cuts. not that he has any of those, from where he stands. ]

[sensationate]

[ It's like an influx of energy, so much that it washes over him and drips away where it can't refill him and he looks on in bewildered amazement while he lets that roll over him. With his senses as odd as they are, it was a whole body experience and rather amazing at that.

His interest finally turns to Allumette. ]

I've... never felt anything like that before. How did you do that?

[aheroipray]

It's a spell--one only Scholars know, and one I was able to discover through training.

[sensationate]

It's definitely not something all scholars know where I come from. What is it your scholars study?

[aheroipray]

Battle and healing stratagems, mostly, though it would depend on who their alliance was to, I suppose.

[sensationate]

That's a pretty narrow field. What sort of alliances do they make?

[aheroipray]

[ a sigh, and a shake of her head. ] Truth be told, I am not one to speak politics. If only Sidonia were here...

I can only assume that, for example, if a Scholar were allied to the Garlean forces, they would learn magics to strengthen their allies through technology. The Garleans have a love for technology we Eorzeans simply lack. How and why, I've no idea.
