Given that you can't simply change your Moonblessing on a whim, I advise you and/or your friend to simply prepare yourselves appropriately. The following may be of some help?

[ Appended to the response is a link to a product rather similar to this one, because of course the Prismals have come up with such things.

But yes Nero knows the deal about Iris. Thanks. ]

[ God bless, Nero...... Now here is a bro. ]

Oh! This could be very helpful, actually. Thank you!

Is that you, Nero?

[ Username checks out, but he's just making sure. ]

Glad to be of service.

Now who might this be, so able to deduce such a thing so quickly?

[ He can't very well deny who he is, but is this another Warrior of Light? He is absolutely starting to lose track. ]

Well, given that my name is up there, I assume you don't know me, but I'm the Warrior of Light! One of the many.

How has Lunatia been treating you? I know Cid is here, I've spoken with him, so you must be keeping quite busy.

[ Yeah, he's gonna just assume they're already fucking. ]

Ah. Another one to add to the list.

[ Though this one is marginally hornier than the others, going by what he's observed thus far... ]

I've been doing quite well, thank you. What has old Garlond been telling you, exactly?

[ Is he going to have to start yelling? Sending angry messages? Constructing small automated turrets? ]

That's right! How many of us are there, exactly? Are you keeping track?

[ He's just more open about it, Nero! ]

About you? Nothing. Hasn't mentioned you at all, actually. But I imagine your name just hasn't come up. I know how he gets when it's about you.

[ He gets angry and irritable of course, but it could sound like something else! You never know! ]

If I've been keeping proper count, there are over half a dozen of you heroic sorts! Presuming that no one's up and left while I wasn't looking.

[ Let's see, there's the Viera, the one that has the bar, the fluffy one that's a dancer or some such, the faintly terrifying Auri one, the... purple one? Who else...

Well, it's not too important. ]

What? Nothing? Not even complaints? What is he up to, then?

[ Damn it, now he's going to have to go and investigate just what Garlond's been keeping occupied with... ]

Perhaps we could get a Light Party started!

[ Time to queue up for some dungeons, eh? ]

Hmmm, nope, not at all, now that I think about it. You must not be occupying much of his time! Might need to redouble your efforts, if you had anything in mind.

[ Is he goading Nero on purpose? Absolutely. He ships it. ]

Perhaps the next time something decides to go rampaging down the streets.

[ Nero should know trolling when he sees it, but there are some subjects where he is completely unable to keep a clear head. Cid Garlond is one of those subjects, alas. ]

He's plainly found himself something useless to go and get caught up in, then. Which is fine with me! I'll handle the important work around here.

I'll keep it in mind!

[ today in prisma: qih'sae starts a static ]

Is it? Are you sure? I heard he might be starting up the Ironworks here in Lunatia. I would have thought he'd have asked you for aid, since he and you are both so skilled.

[ He's just enjoying this, please tsun harder, Nero. ]

Is he? Best of luck to him, whatever talent he does have, it's hardly in running the business. The man has no head for money at all.

[ Which is partially how Nero managed to run off with so much of his, but that's surely all water under the bridge, now. ]

Your cheerful suggestions prompt a question: when did you find yourself pulled from, o Warrior of Light? What's the last heroic thing you managed to accomplish?

Fair enough. Without Jessie, he's probably going to have some trouble keeping everything afloat. Hopefully he's making enough chroma to compensate, right?

[ Surely..... ]

Most recently I believe was putting a stop to the Ruby Weapon. Gaius' old project has come to haunt him and the rest of Eorzea, I'm afraid.

[ He doesn't need to know about all that First shard stuff, or about the Exarch, nah. ]

Far be it from me to make speculations about his personal life, but I can't imagine he's having an easy go at the whole Chroma thing.

[ And he could actually make further rude speculations but then Qih'sae is dropping a massive surprise into the chat. ]

The what? The Ruby what?! Gaius's what????

Well, I've slept with him and I think he and Aymeric had a go at it too, so I don't know about that.

[ You can't just bring up people's sex lives on the network, Qih'sae. Especially not when they're freaking out about Developments. ]

I thought perhaps you knew, since he'd had some hand in it before he came to Eorzea. Were you aware of the Weapon project? I forget if there was another name for it, but I know they started with Ultima and have since been working on more and more prototypes since then.

The Ruby Weapon was a ghastly thing, it wasn't so much controlled, as powered by... a living person. More than that, they tried to merge that person with the memories of Nael van Darnus into it, to fuel its power further.

[ How is finding out way too much about who Garlond is screwing not the most alarming turn that this conversation has taken? How? He is just not going to even dignify that part with a response.

He takes this conversation to Qih'sae's inbox, rather than having it out in the open. ]

My involvement with the Ultima Weapon project came to a sudden end when you and your lot went and destroyed the thing. For all that I've kept a wary eye turned towards Garlemald, I've had my own projects to contend with. I shouldn't be surprised that they've continued to put my findings to use, but I will admit to some alarm at what they seem to be using for the power source. A living person? What in the blazes sort of person would even be capable of that, other than someone like yourself?

And I do not even know where to begin with the whole Nael van Darnus thing. Where would they even have gotten such a thing from that madman?

It's very bad, that's for sure. The empire has succeeded in artificially creating a power similar to the Echo, though it's cost them countless of lives to achieve it. There seems to be no boundary they are unwilling to cross in the pursuit of more power.

That's a good question. I can't begin to guess how they went about fusing a dead person's memories into the mind of another person, unless they'd somehow saved them from when Nael was alive... Even still, memories are not so easily tampered with. It seems like the Empire finds new ways to outdo its own atrocities each day.

That, I'm familiar with. The Resonant project, yes? Messy business. And you think that they've gone and cooked themselves up another resonant, and loaded them into shiny new Weapon?

What I want to know is why Darnus in particular? Other than a mad sort of determination, he'd not had much going for him tactically that couldn't have been better done by at least half a dozen others of similar rank and experience.

Last I knew, at least. Are there perhaps things that I've not been party to?

[ Nero's poking about Cartineau had been very single-minded, half out of passion and half out of the risk involved. Perhaps he knows more than he should... but he certainly knows less than an accomplished Warrior of Light ~~that has cleared Coils~~ would. ]

I don't think the poor girl was resonant, but it wouldn't surprise me if the same power was used. Then again, they succeeded with Zenos and to some degree, Fordola, so it's possible they're handing it out to whoever can survive the process. I wouldn't exactly be surprised if that were the case.

Oh, you must not have heard about the Binding Coil. Nael was involved in the Dalamud Project, and wound up tempered by Bahamut. My fight with the Ruby Weapon was somewhat akin to my battle against them there... which makes even less sense, as it would mean the Empire somehow had access to what occurred within those ruins...

Gods, the more I think about it, the less I want to think about it.

This far away from it all, all we can do is speculate just how they did what they did. Damn it all, now I've got the itch to go wandering around Cartinau again...

I am not as surprised to hear about Darnus's fate as I ought to be. Again, this raises questions that I would normally be very eager to pursue the answers to. This is a terrible distraction. I think you owe me a drink for bringing it up.
