Video: UN-Shadowbringer

[inlikethebrume]

[The camera turns on and everyone is greeted by two flying furballs staring into the space known as social media. Followed by a hand grabbing the device along with a surprised chirp.]

Thank you, girls. But I got it from here.

[And then Mira shows her face along her current location where it seems a good chunk of animals are being stabled, especially the mount type.]

I was curious about how many of us have received our companion animals from our previous stars. The two gaelicats you just met are mine from Eitherys and came to Noctium with me. However, my chocobo Ramie did not but arrived here.

[The camera pans to...wait a second... that's not an ordinary chocobo. That's a flipping red chocobo. And she's petting his head like it's no big deal.]

Has this happened to anyone else?

I know there's black and blue . . . ? [he shakes his head after a thoughtful moment] I'm not too sure if they can do anything extra, though.

I never really used them too often - never had much reason to. There is a place that races them, but I've never been.

[inlikethebrume]

Oh! There's a place back home that hosts chocobo racing too. Been there only a couple of times but I think it's called...hmm.

[Mira.exe is thinking. Answer in 3, 2, 1...]

I think it's called the Gold Saucer? But with all the sabotenders, mayhap it's Gold Sabotender?

[fairlyheroic]

Seriously?

[so that's two coincidences? Weird, chocobos aren't too surprising, but places having the same name is]

That's where we hold the chocobo races, too. Big place called the Golden Saucer.

[inlikethebrume]

That's what it's called! Gold Saucer!

...if the one you know is in the desert, I'm going to ponder how similar our stars really are.

[fairlyheroic]

Haha . . . yeah, it's in the desert.

[okay that's three, that's suspicious. Cool, but suspicious!] Does "Midgar" sound familiar, by any chance?

[inlikethebrume]

Kind of? That's part of the dragon Midgarsomr's name.

[He's sleeping now alas.]

[fairlyheroic]

A dragon? Big one?

So it's not a city where you are, then. It's the biggest one in my world, sort of the center of everything.

[inlikethebrume]

Depending. He's got a large form but he's also got different sizes from being the size of a mount to being small enough to ride on a shoulder.

So Midgar is a city where you're from...never really heard of one large city being the center of it all. But there's city-states within various lands so I suppose that counts?

[fairlyheroic]

A mount? Really? Geez, I'm trying to picture it . . . [a laugh] You can't ride them where I'm from, you're more likely to get eaten.

It counts! There's more than just Midgar, but a lot of them are just small towns or villages.

[inlikethebrume]

To be fair, the possibility of that happening where I'm from is there as well. Some just seem to be a bit more friendlier.

[/shrug]

The small villages and towns do have their charm. Raised in one of the bigger cities but it's nice seeing what the world has past them.

[fairlyheroic]

Haha, I can't picture them being friendly at all, either.

[he nods and grins] I was born in one of the small villages, so that was one of the reasons I wanted to leave - to see the rest of the world.

[inlikethebrume]

Oh? Might you be an adventurer then?

[When she hears about wanting to see the world, that's what comes to mind. Adventure, treasure, danger, all that good stuff.]

[fairlyheroic]

Not exactly. I was a soldier, but I got sent all over the place, so it's kind of the same?

[he did experience all of that! Just not in the way she's thinking]
