[When the video flickers on, we have here an expression of utmost innocence -- the sort that you find on experienced salesmen and newborn baby birds. There's a metaphorical 'I'm hungry, feed me!' glint in his eyes, though for anyone who knows Fuji well enough, it's more of a 'I'm bored, entertain me!' than anything else.

The backdrop is of a plainly decorated room with a rather comfortable bed , occupied by a curl of a flaming porcupine. A misdreavus drifts lazily across the screen and settles herself in his hair. He smiles, all teeth.]

Everyone comes from different worlds, don't they? [Pause. He clarifies--] That being a generic 'everyone', of course, and a very broad and open-minded definition of 'different'. Still, though, we're not really here about semantics.

[He hums, idly, and the misdreavus yawns, before taking a few locks of his brown hair into her mouth, making mimicries of a chewing motion.] The point being, with each world comes a whole new set of possibilities. And on a snowy day where going outside generally means freezing something off in the process, possibilities are fun.

How many of us here have had special abilities back in our home world? Things like flight, telekinesis, powers of prediction, but maybe even things like extra appendages that didn't get carried over between world transfers. [He smiles, wryly.] And even if that's not the case, if you have any interesting stories about your home worlds that you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd like to hear them.

[He puts a finger to his lips, playfully.] If nothing else, it's a good way to pass the time.

[Oh, does Sazh have stories.]

Back at home, I was able to summon something called an "eidolon". It's name was Brynhildr. It was a pretty convenient ability if you ask me.

[Gotta hear 'em all :|a]

'Eidolon'? Like a shade of the deceased? Or is it more of a demonic-summons sort of a thing?

[video]

[eidolonracing.livejournal.com]

Uh, I wouldn't say it's a demonic summon. It's more of a guardian.

[video]

[reveiller]

Oh? What does it guard you from? Your giant, yellow birds?

[eidolonracing.livejournal.com]

[Sazh just gives him a pointed look.] Chocobos aren't monsters. They don't attack humans unless provoked.

Eidolons are meant to guard us from our fate.

It must be nice being bored. [ this one's huddled under her Onix's head. ]

Boredom has its advantages, you know. Such as being warm, dry and not huddling in a cavern somewhere. [/helpfully]

Bye. ♥

[video] pfffft

[He chuckles.] Where are you, anyway? That doesn't look very comfortable.

...I'd like to believe that my world didn't have anything like that, but there are people who claim to be spirit mediums.

[Video]

[reveiller]

You don't believe in them? Or you won't believe?

[Video]

[miniworth]

If someone in my world can prove to me that it is real, I'll believe them, but until then, I won't.

You'd rely on your senses for something that might defy them entirely.

[usedlogic.livejournal.com]

Why are you so curious?

[reveiller]

Well, not being curious doesn't yield any results, does it?

[usedlogic.livejournal.com]

That is true, but how could knowing people's powers possibly give you results?

[unless you're going to try and give everyone their powers back.]

[reveiller]

[He shrugs, cheerfully.] Not all results are altruistic in nature, really. Curiosity... I guess you can say it's a self-fulfilling thing.

[And he smiles, contemplative.] Are results important to you?

...Would "special" refer to anything we lost when we came here?

[Action]

[reveiller]

It could. Do you have something like that?

[Action]

[oxidegreen.livejournal.com]

...When I arrived here, I lost most of my strength.

[Action]

[reveiller]

... out of curiosity, what was the heaviest thing you could lift before you got here?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I had common sense.

Shouldn't be a special power but it's so rare where I come from, it might as well be.

[Video]

[reveiller]

And you lost it when you came here? [Wryly.] Well, that certainly explains a few things.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Wh-- HEY.

What're you implying?!

_{[... he might be talking about the sheer number of incredibly-stupid things you do despite knowing better, Heather.]}

[Video]

[reveiller]

Me? Imply something? Never. As far as I know, your sense of common sense is incredibly impressive.

[He's just teasing, Heather. It's like built into his brain compartments.] By the way, how's your owl?
