❧ Of Gods & Magic [video]
[ It takes a moment for Alphinaud to set up everything just right but once he does, the video feed goes live revealing the faces of elven twins solemnly gazing into the camera. Alphinaud Leveilleur towards the right dressed in blues and whites with his sister Alisaie, dressed in red and khaki, towards the left. They look identical in every way but there are subtle differences that only a keen eye would notice. Nevertheless, Alphinaud takes a moment to clear his throat before finally introducing himself. ]
Greetings & Salutations to All,
I am Alphinaud Leveilleur and this ---[ He gestures to the girl standing at his left. ]-- is my sister Alisaie.
[ Alisaie raises a hand in greeting. She seems to be regarding the device with some skepticism, and so she's a bit more subdued than normal. ]
Greetings to you all.
[ The boy doesn't feel the need to address that they're identical twins since he's certain the audience has eyes. However, if anyone makes any rude comments about their appearance, they'll be promptly blocked. Alphinaud doesn't have much patience for those who make fun of his allegedly girlish looks. ]
We hail from the realm of Hydaelyn, a wondrous world plagued by both strife and great unrest. We are members of a faction known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, peacekeepers if you will, who strive in earnest to bring an end to the bloodshed that plagues our world.
-----------
Due to great circumstances, we've been summoned to Prismatica along with all of you, by unknown powers. It has come to my attention that this fantastical realm is chock full of wonders, many of which we Moonblessed fail to comprehend. With that said, I wish to hold a forum regarding these wonders in hopes that we can further understand more about this world.
[ Alisaie leans in a bit more, cutting off Alphinaud from view for the moment. ]
-- We're interested in talking about where the Moonblessings supposedly come from. These beast gods, Sanguis, Iris, and Cordis. It's not the first time we've heard of such things.
[ She glances knowingly over to her brother.]
Not the first time-- [He states looking somewhat remorseful now.] Nor will it be the last, I fear.
[ Alphinaud comes into view again looking rather grim now. This not a light topic meant for the faint of heart. ]
In the region of Eorzea and even beyond her, false deities called “primals” offer succor in the form of blind fanatical servitude promising the moon and stars to all who worship them. Their promises are nothing more than lies told to bewitch their followers into supplying them endless aether in the form of great sacrifice.
The payment---one’s own life.
[ His gaze narrows some as he ponders about the deities of this realm. The more he thinks about these foreign gods, the more they truly sound lime “primals” to him. ]
We know naught if this payment would be the same in regards to the deities here within Prismatica but servitude certainly seems to be one of them.
[ Alisaie speaks up now. ]
Think about it. We are 'blessed' by these gods and they ask that we generate energy in return. Sound similar? The energy itself is benign so far, but then they twist and change our bodies and call it a gift.
[ She shakes her head. ]
I realize the people of this star depend on Chroma, and that it changed their way of life. I also know this life is better for some of you. But we deserve to know why we have been brought here and changed, not just be given some blind venerated explanation.
[ Her voice gets more earnest as she speaks, ending with her slamming her fist down on the surface the video device is propped on. She has to right it after it tilts, and then stills, taking a deep breath. Alphinaud takes over. ]
This is all we ask.
[ He chimes in after a moment of thought. It seems there’s something else on his mind but the boy hesitates to state it. Instead, he directs this introduction to a swift end. ]
We ask to know and understand the meaning behind our arrival here so that in turn, we could perhaps undo what has been done.
[ Alphinaud takes a breath. This is quite the intro and it will surely gain them some scorn. Nevertheless, he’s content. ]
I open up the forum for others to speak.

[ He tapped the table with a fingertip as he thought about how to continue the conversation. ]]
As a matter of fact, [ He began, voice pleasant but airy in a way that suggested he was pretending not to care, rather than not caring. ] I actually work for the Lunar Scientia. I'm not terribly far up in their ranks... but if you've any queries... well, perhaps I'd be able to pass them along.
no subject
she seems to take a moment to pick over her worlds carefully, as if sure however she gives them to him will be repeated exactly if she's not deliberate. ]
I suppose informing them that some moonblessed have an interest in trying to recover their lost history is prudent. And that these moonblessed think that may have something to with their having been brought to Prismatica in the first place, if they'd be willing to discuss any research about said history or said arrivals.

I will make sure my superiors hear this. Would you like your name attached, Ms. Leveilleur, or should this be an anonymous complaint?
no subject
[ no one said she was afraid?? alisaie please. ]
And... thank you.
no subject
I do feel I should warn you that it's not liable to net you many results, but while you wait... might I suggest a nice trip to the moons to look around some of the ruins there?
[ His smile was very pleasant. No one else had seemed terribly interested in doing so, or if they had, they hadn't reported back with seeing anything. ]
You can get there easily from the moonports, and I hear Iris is lovely this time of year!
