[ There is the sound of a party horn. ]

[profanation]

Thank you! I do try to say meaningful things on meaningful days.

[evilgrows]

I clearly feel enriched on this day.

[profanation]

Wonderful!

Do you, in fact, know what is special about this day?

[evilgrows]

Walpurgisnacht? Or you're a fiend for international jazz day. Horn's a little unorthodox, but I can see it.

[profanation]

Oh, my -- well that would make this day terribly special! Perhaps we should go for that one instead. I do love a good sax.

[evilgrows]

No one can resist the siren song of the saxophone.

[No one.]

Not up to date on local customs yet, though, unfortunately.

[profanation]

I can tell I am dealing with a man of vast intellect from that comment alone.

[ And no, he doesn't appear to be making fun. Only having fun. ]

And, well, I wouldn't worry. The local customs tend to be big and showy with some level of mind control involved at some point. They're hard to miss!

[evilgrows]

Good ear! You are absolutely correct.

[His ego ain't complaining, that's for sure.]

But oh, great, don't tell me that'll be consistent. Guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

[profanation]

We did have a rather fun one involving a gigantic octopus queen... and one where we piloted large robots across the Empty... I wouldn't mind seeing those again!

[ Just so long as his co-pilot wasn't Noctis or any of his little entourage, including his father and Lunafreya. We'd worked so well with Emet-Selch - it might even be fun again! ]

So keep the hope going. We might return to that sort of celebration, one day.

[evilgrows]

Large robots, you say.

[Yes hello please give them to him thanks.]

I feel like I really missed out. Guess I can at least be safe in the knowledge that I'm not doomed to repeat painfully catchy boy band hell for eternity.

[profanation]

I'm sure if you asked around the Lunar Scientia you can find those big machines again, my good man.

[ Why not? Surely exploring the empty would be something worth doing, if a person cared about learning of this planet itself. ]

Good luck if so!

[evilgrows]

It's looking like I'm going to have to at this rate. Thanks for the tip.

[The exploration he can live with or without, but any info he can get on local robotics is always useful.]

[profanation]

Anything to help someone once beholden to the machinations of Boyband horrors.

[evilgrows]

I had a favorite. I argued about who was better.

[He laughs.]

"Horrors" is an understatement. Appreciated.

[profanation]

[ That's absolutely hilarious. Ardyn was so glad he'd missed out on that... though the look on Noctis' face if he'd caught him arguing about boyband members would have been priceless. ]

Rest assured, these robots will only let you see who you're partnered with thinks is the best boyband member. Not force you to argue over them.

I did mention they require letting people into your mind, didn't I? Hm, perhaps they're not so different after all...

[evilgrows]

Oh, nonononono. Nobody can handle my mind.

[He does not like that in the slightest! Weird musical boy band mind control is bad enough, but it didn't feel like anyone was really getting in there like that.]

First plan: figure out how to make them not do that.

[profanation]

You might be surprised. [ He hadn't expected to find someone with a similar experience who could handle his rather unique mind, but there they were.

He did give a little snort of laughter though. ]

Though I do I understand the sentiment! Good luck, and I hope your research brings fruition.

[evilgrows]

[Welp... he's definitely not dealing with that if he can help it, at least.]

Thanks. I'll see what I can do.
