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.

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.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Well. Yeah, kinda! Except it's different. In all the cities on Cocoon, it's like. Some kind of big honor, yeah? But on Pulse it was different.

[socialbutterfly]

[He tries to think about that, then just shrugs.] Sometimes people are just strange.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Mmm yup! That's true!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

[Still wants to see that weapon form...]

... What other strange powers did you have? Using the same techniques might work....

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't know how to do it again, though.]

Um. Regular magic stuff, yeah? Healing and fighting! Mostly healing, though. That's what I usually do.

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

We had healing too.

Pretend you're using magic on yourself. Maybe you'll change.

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[Makes a face.]

That doesn't work! All I'm going to do is throw up my hand and--

[She throws her hand in the air like she's about to summon a spell and then the communicator is on the floor and she's stuck yelling in horror. In her Weapon form.]

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

[Trying to peer through the communicator! He caught a glimpse of something, but...] Did it work..? All I see is the ceiling, Vanille...

[Video]

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

[She's yelling at him as she tries to figure out what to do.]

I'm stuck in this form again, and I'm just lying here like a stick! SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS!

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

Hold on, I'll go to you... [I can't see your weapon form like this anyway.] Where are you right now?
