{ Mithos spends several seconds silently staring into the screen, as if he wasn't even really sure what he was going to try to say. And is he... floating? A myriad of different colors - every one in the EM spectrum - seems to be flickering in and out behind him. It's as if he's trying to concentrate, but whatever it is he's concentrating on, it's frustrating the hell out of him, and it couldn't be more obvious. }

Alright, fine, I give up. { An annoyed sigh. He's not used to having problems controlling his powers, and to him, it's worse than embarrassing - it's a blow to his ego. } Anyone else here have powers that are based off of mana? The mana in this world is weird enough without me being able to... er... { He glances behind him. Well, it's not like it's worth hiding; the people from his world probably already know who he is. Right?

Right? }

The wings. I can't put them away.

{ That's his glitch. He ran into a shadow, whipped out his angel powers, vaporized it with one Ray, and now his wings won't go away. }

Voice forever-

Queen doesn't seem to like anything. [ Zaveid sighs like it's a great shame- ]

Yeah, from what I can see, we've got that light vs dark thing. Ozzy is helper of the light guy, and queenie is something like direct underling with a shit ton of power for the dark one. I think she said this was her castle at some point. Probably explains why she's so good at making problems for us.

[martelapproves]

Weird. She has all of this power over this castle, but she can't control who shows up to it.

{ Or she can, and the game she's playing is a lot more complex than he thinks. He really, really hopes he's wrong about that. }

Great. Demons. Exactly the kind of problem I didn't want to deal with. { He didn't seal part of his memories in a book just so Alice can use it to form a pact to save Decus he can wind up in another dimension entirely and have to fight more demons. }

[shirtlesspersona]

Eeeh... Something something, brightest lights are surrounded by darkness, something something.

[ Aka, Zaveid isn't entirely sure why ozuma has more strength here for pulling people versus the queen shutting them out, but he isn't exactly worried about it either. ]

She has fucked with those arrivin' though. Not exactly fun times. So she might just be deciding when it's fun to punch and when to let us be.

[ ... Demons? Something to look up. ]

[martelapproves]

Ugh. { It sounds like something straight out of the holy texts of the Church of Martel, or worse, something Lloyd would say. }

Yeah, I noticed. Say... have you seen anyone else here with these kinds of wings?

[shirtlesspersona]

Right?

[ Why do you think he sounded so flippant of the idea. Sure, it kinda worked that way. But it also sounded so terrible. ]

Hmmmnn.... [ I think someone like me might be here - I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I want to be me longer.

Or something of the like. Other seraphim have wings on their own, so he's read. It's probably a good thing this is voice, his face might have given away his connection made. - ]

Not that I've seen. Think the wind found something odd like that once but I can't say it was those exactly. Lotsa new things on the wind here.

[martelapproves]

{ He's not sure if he should be relieved or disappointed. On one hand, that means no Yuan, Zelos, or Kratos here. On the other... no Martel. He had hoped that if this place could prevent him from dying, maybe it could have saved her, too. But that's silly; there's a difference between saving someone's life and resurrecting them. Right? }

Then have you ever heard the terms 'Sylvarant' or 'Tethe'alla?'

[shirtlesspersona]

[ A thoughtful noise. ]

That's... stuff from when World Tree Goddess Martel was about?

[ About him not being from your world, Mithos... ]

[martelapproves]

{ ... Was? Wait... he was from his world? And while Martel was indeed (made up to be) the deity of the majority religion of his world, she wasn't really associated with the World Tree. And the only people who even remembered that there was a World Three - before it exploded and was shot with the mana cannon, thanks Lloyd - are all in Cruxis. }

Wait... what did you say?

{ This... didn't make sense. It was pretty clear that Alice was from the future of his world, when he spoke to her. But how far into future was this guy? }

[shirtlesspersona]

There's a goddess of the world tree, ages and ages ago. Looks like she's got leaves in her hair, from the art work, and that's the only time I really remember a Tethe'alla or Sylvarant. [ And his pronunciation is a bit off, like a language shift or it really was super ancient ago, so partially forgotten. ]

Granted, I'm not the history nerd. Friend of mine had a coin with her on it. called it a kharlan coin or something.

[martelapproves]

{ There's no mistaking it. He's talking about his sister. Mithos loses his composure, and is almost frantic when he starts demanding answers. }

A-Are you talking about the Church of Martel? { He's pretty sure that's not in the Church's teachings, but who knows, religions change over time, or off-shoot sects can form. But if one thing is sure, he's even farther into the future than Alice is.

And a Kharlan Coin? Derris-Kharlan didn't have its own currency, at least not while he was in charge. And definitely not with her image on it. }

Where did that coin come from? Who made it? Was it that idiot Pope in Meltokio?!

[shirtlesspersona]

Uhh. Never heard of it. [ Whoa kid calm down. ]

And never heard of any Meltokio either, so uh. Not that much help.

The coins? Definitely before my time, so probably a while into the Fortune of Phantasia, I think humans are calling it. There's enough of the coins that people know of them on sight, kinda that step between an actual rarity and a common collectors item.

[ He's from so far in the future it isn't funny- ]

[martelapproves]

{ Mithos had to try very, very hard to let the man speak without interrupting him. No Meltokio? It's the biggest city in Tethe'alla, and if the worlds were rejoined, it might just be the biggest metropolis in the world. And Fortune of Phantasia? What the hell is that? }

What's the 'Fortune of Phantasia?'

{ Maybe someone just decided to decorate some new currency with Martel's image? And if the worlds really were rejoined, maybe the new Tree of Mana was just associated with Martel because they saw it as a miracle?

That would mean Lloyd didn't tell anyone the truth about him or Martel. Might just be the smartest thing he's ever done. }

[shirtlesspersona]

An era. Ended about a couple'a thousand years ago, by human keeping track. Like.. three? Supposedly we lived all comfy together, then and through the Destiny Dawn. That'd be the next big era. [ He was pretty young then, he doesn't exactly remember- ]
