open post (may 2018)

open post
in the cover of the night
Since the last one was so popular, here's a brand-new open post for all of you to post characters, mingle, and tag each other!

Seriously, post whatever you want. Empty toplevels? Open starters? Starters closed to specific people? It's all good — just enjoy!



If you feel like you need a couple of prompts to get started, though, consider any one (or a combination) of the following:

FITS: EVERYONE. No matter who you are or where you are or what you're doing, your clothes have suddenly — poof! — transformed into the Gold Saucer bunny uniform! Because now EVERYONE can wear it... EVERYONE.

PLEASE USE THE AUTO-TRANSLATE FUNCTION. You have the sudden urge to shout a phrase from the auto-translate dictionary at the nearest person! This can be a whole phrase or any combination of phrases. What are you going to yell? "We're chewing the fat"? "I seem to have misplaced my keyboard"? "Miqo'te" "rear"?!

THE CURSED SWORD. A shifty merchant sold you a remarkably beautiful Far Eastern katana for an absolute pittance — with just one catch: now that it's been in your possession for a few bells, the sword keeps whispering in your mind, telling you to kill... kill... find stronger prey... hunt... The katana cannot be destroyed or abandoned; it is impervious to assault and any attempt to leave it by the wayside will simply find it in your belongings once more. Will your character succumb to its mystical influence? Find a new owner for it? Try to exorcise the evil spirit lurking within?



As always, tag out and have fun!

[ Era listens closely, though as soon as she hears 'mathemagicians' she listens much more intently. While she's been favoring the more physical offensive combat methods as of late she is still an exceedingly skilled mage in all branches of magic known in Eorzea. Magic is something that has always come naturally to her right from the start and it's left her with a keen desire to learn all she can about it.

If math mages were employed in the past then surely there are some ancient texts on the subject going into more detail. Era doubts she would ever be skilled as an arithmetician, but she could always make an attempt if she knew where to start.

Her fascination with the information he's provided her with almost overshadows the fact that he is being nice. Era can't detect a condescending tone, either. It's enough that the young man earns a bright smile for his efforts. ]


Thank you for the information. If given the chance to return to Ridorana or Rabanastre I will need search for any recoverable texts. Arts once lost can often be found once more.

[ Actually, it makes her wonder if Ramza has an interest in all history, or just the history of his ancestors. If the former, well...

It doesn't hurt to ask, right? ]


Have you an interest in any of the ancient Eorzean civilizations?

[the boy is immune to era's smile, though gushing about ancient ivalice has brought one to his own. alas, his good cheer is gone in another moment as he ponders her question.]

...I know enough about Allag and Belah'dia and Amdapor and so forth, if that is your meaning. But the study of Ivalice has ever been my family's purpose, so I've not had the chance to do aught more than gloss over cursory mentions of Eorzean civilizations.

[he shakes his head.]

At any rate, it is unimportant to me. Ivalice is my chosen field of expertise. All else is irrelevant.

[ Era cannot imagine limiting herself to just one area of expertise, though she supposes she can understand the benefits for others to do so. Still, just because Ramza's chosen field is Ivalice and considers the rest irrelevant, that doesn't mean he shouldn't have the option to learn more beyond his scope if he ever wants to. ]

If ever you wish to learn more about Eorzean civilizations, pray contact me and I can escort you to some of the archaeological sites I've explored. In particular you might enjoy meeting Surito Carito, as he is one of the ancient scholars of the Nymian Royal Marines. My faerie, Lily, had original been his. We are in the process of finding a cure to the Nymian Plague, though it is slow going.

[ Exploring the sites of Eorzea's ancient civilizations has always been Era's favourite sorts of adventures, and it can be inferred from her tone that archaeology is something she enjoys. ]
