So! After everything that happened, and. Uh. With the hands sticking thing...

[She looks distinctly uncomfortable, her legs folded under her as she sits on her bed with a little frown.]

Anyway, I thought that maybe I could find a partner for that mission, yeah? I'm a Weapon and I mean. Uh.

[Stops and finally blows out a frustrated breath of air.]

I didn't really like it, but I turned into one of my binding rods, yeah? So maybe someone out there knows how to fight using a rod, so I guess that's what I'm letting everyone know! Even if I really, really didn't like it...

But you have to promise not to throw me at something! Because partnerships are all about trust, yeah? And that's important to me, especially after everything that happened with those sand things.

[Oh, you know... this and that.]

The fishing rod.

[This and that? That's just code for "don't want to tell you".]

It's not a fishing rod!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

[What wouldn't I want to tell you?]

I'm not familiar with other types of rod...

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[Who knows? There's stuff I don't want to tell you.]

What about things like staffs, yeah? That's a type of rod!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

[... Like what?]

I thought rods were shorter... A staff is different.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[Can't say, then it would be telling!]

But they're in the same group! Rods are shorter, but they're part of the same group.

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

[Telling is good, though.

Also that needs some thought...]

You'll need to show me.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Show you!? I don't know how to do it again, and I'm not being thrown down any stairs!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

... How'd you do it the first time?

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

I was thrown at the sand monsters. It just happened!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

The second time should be easier. It's the same with Persona.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I haven't got one of those, yeah? It's not like calling on Hecaton!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

Was that your Persona? [So they even have Persona in fantasy worlds?]

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

No. He's my Eidolon. What's a Persona?

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

A Persona is a part of yourself you can call upon in battle.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Did someone give it to you?

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

No, it's always a part of you... just stuck inside.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

...Huh! That's weird! But kind of cool, yeah?

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

Eidolons are different..?

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Well. The um. The fal'Cie grant you the power when you become a l'Cie. So not everyone has one, yeah?

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

It still sounds like Persona, except we join SEES after, not before...

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Well, no one really wants to become a l'Cie, yeah? It's not a choice thing. [Pauses before the rest comes out softer.] Not anymore, anyway.

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

It used to be one..?

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. Back when me and Fang lived on Pulse, yeah? You could sign up for it.

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

Maybe they forced people into it because nobody wanted to any more.
