[ Someone's found the music composition app. Someone may also have finally published a melody and uploaded it after days of fiddling around with the instruments on the app.

Please enjoy the attempt at the very popular Eorzean song, Pa-Paya until it annoys you. When it's done, the screen will show a very happy looking blond man with a friendly smile and strange horns looking at everyone, strumming some notes on his lyre until he speaks. ]

'tis been some suns since my arrival, and what a fantastic world this is. To think that not only instruments hide within this contraption, but the ability to send mine own image and voice to many others as though I were right before them!

Pray, indulge my queries- does the melody ring familiar to any? Do chocobo and moogles dance in delight in your own worlds? Do dragons sing to the choir of their horde? Or perhaps, do Sky Pirates race through the clouds, inspiring all with tales of adventure?

I've heard people of many worlds have been brought here with similar tales as mine own. Perhaps you could share your own?

I am called Klair, the Dragonsong, and I would be honoured to put your tales to inspiration for my songs. Or perhaps- inspiration for adornments and attire for yourself, inspired by your own journey?

[ Look at his snazzy dressing and pretty horn jewelry! He'll give it a little tap to indicate. ]

Oh, and if you've seen a light-haired miqo'te man who likes to take things apart, please forgive him. I would also love to know if anyone has seen any beautiful viera, elezen, hyur, au ra, or perhaps even a little lalafell around here too. I may be looking for my companions, and ache to know if they've arrived here as well.

[ With a flourish, he gives a bow to the screen. ]

I await your responses, and I do hope I may be able to fulfill any future requests once I learn more melodies in this land. Perhaps some personal instruction? I'll make it worth your while. ♥


[ And the feed ends as he winks at the screen and turns it off! The text will also be transcribed as he speaks, because he found the text-to-speech function. Oops. I'm so sorry for this obnoxiousness please forgive me ]

[ Well THAT'S a song she hasn't heard for a very long time. And she's not entirely sure if she's happy to be hearing or not. This is but one of many factors in the face that she is pulling when she flicks on her camera to send a response. ]

It rings very familiar.

[ And not even the pleasant follow-up can do much to take the shock from her expression. He's... that's... his face... ]

I... it is not out of the question that some of your companions have passed through this place, and I would be glad to be of assistance, but... Klair, is it?

[ Here in this moment, she is not entirely sure what her objection even is. ]

[He could tell this guy he was incredibly gaudy, but, his piqued interest tells him otherwise. Was this some person from the world that Megumi and Aymeric hailed from? Perhaps so.

Maybe he should indulge him a little bit.]

The melody is lovely, but sadly does not strike much nostalgia for me. I can say that I know of chocobo and moogles, though they are not from my own world.

[A curse it is to always want to help others.]

Should you provide me the names of your friends, I can see if any ring a bell for me?

[ Well, look at that!! His eyes light up brightly as he recognizes the woman that appears. ]

Truly, the marvels of this modern contraption know no end if it could bring your beautiful face to bless my sights again! Are you going to tell me off for playing that melody when it isn't Hatching-Tide, dear Ballard? I hope you will.

[ Yes, he did just ask to be scolded. ]

[ Of all the things to bring over, it has to be the most irritating endless drone of a song from their world. He might have been relieved to see him. Might have. But if this is his grand entrance, Gareki is all too happy to send him back to Eorzea. ]

Nay, haven't seen 'em.
Keep looking.
Maybe you'll find better luck on the next planet.

[dragonsongs]

[ Oh the charm is turned up when he sees this incredibly handsome man with the most enchanting sounding voice he's ever heard... ]

Ah, but your sharp ears have heard of them, and there's the start of your adventure, friend! You've met those of similar worlds to mine own, then, if such names strike familiar!

[ And he perks up- ]

My dearest companions are plenty, but those dearest to my heart may be meek- have you heard the names Gareki, or Vheras- or Sen, Savia and Fufu, perhaps?

[castcure]

[ She has only begun to make faces at him. The moment he indicates that he knows the sight of her, her mouth pulls into a line. The moment he drops that name, she gives a start and gapes, words briefly catching in her throat. ]

Y...you! You're... You're of Megumi's star! You... you must be, if, if...

[ But ah, the actual content of his words settles upon her. He's looking to be scolded? ]

I should tell you off for being so forward! With someone that you don't rightly even know!

Yet a moogle finds me! A real life moogle!
... you know they tend to hide in reality, yes?

[ He's enjoying this game of text-names. Everyone has such curious ones! ]

Little Moogle, pray deliver a message for me, then?
I seek my love, and ache to find him!

[dragonsongs]

[ The use of his future sister-in-law's name makes the blood drain from his face right away. Excuse him for a moment. ]

W...why her... she's not here, is she?


[ This is the face of a man fearing for his life. And he's trying to make a recovery- ]

2/2

[dragonsongs]

I- I mean, such shyness, sweet Ballard! I've always admired that about you. Ah, to hear your gentle notes take such a firm edge-


[ He might be panicking just a little, and whispers- ]

I said scold me, not murder me, dear lady!!

[ Oh Twelve, don't bring the bane of his existence into this. She'll rip his hair out. ]

[pentameld]

[ He can't tell if the guy is fooled or not by it. ]

For good reason.
There are a lot of idiot hunters out there.

Anyroad, I might be willing to search for him for a suitable payment.

[dragonsongs]

[ He might be fooled, but who else would speak to him exactly like Gareki? ]

I've some sweet nuts I could allow you to taste in payment.
They've made more than just fellow moogles kupo in delight.


[ See what he did there? ]

You won't hide from me forever, will you? 'twould be such a shame if I couldn't see the one who will reunite me with my lost heart...

[ Now he's just being an arse. ]

[castcure]

She is very much here.

[ Said with such firmness that it is a bit of a threat. If he's so fearful to learn of such a thing, well then, she has a weapon in this upcoming fight. ]

And my name is Dakki Sigal. I am, best as I understand it, another world's version of the woman you're so eager to try and tease.

[ Please ignore that she pouts a bit, and do also ignore the pinkness to her cheeks. ]

Behave yourself, and you've nothing to worry about!

[pentameld]

Kupo nuts?!
Not even offering chroma or some of your nice new apartment goods?

You are cheap.
Come back with a better offer.

[ Two can play this game. ]

[dragonsongs]

[ Gods be good. This Ballard- Dakki, has some fire. She threw off his groove! Gods damn it, this is all her fault. Her and her hair-ripping threats! ]

Another world's- oh. Then, you carry her face, yet not the memories- my heart aches. To see her in your visage, yet to have our love be spurned-

[ Quick, recover, somehow! He's telling himself, before straightening up. ]

Surely I am not so loathsome...? Perhaps we can start over? And not mention those that may have threatened my physical health?

[dragonsongs]

Nay, nay, little moogle.
It's giving you incentive to bargain.

How can you know if they're cheap if you've yet to taste them?
Unless you have, and are playing hard to get.


[ And he knows how much he loves that. ]

Oh, to tease me so.
I may desire your company even more, little moogle.

[castcure]

[ Her shoulders rise just about to her ears at this talk of spurned love. Oh, hells, he had better be blowing hot air, surely Megumi would've told her about the truth of such a thing... ]

...we'd best start over! That's... that's the way of it, here.

[ All at once she finds herself thinking of Estinien, and the countless times some hapless Warrior of Light had come bounding up to him, full of expectations. That thought softens her look some. ]

We can treat each other as strangers, and come to know each other properly. No... unexpected expectations.

[ But the slightest of smiles comes to her lips. ]

...I have expectations of my own. I'd thought you'd be holding a staff, not a lyre.

[pentameld]

How good can nuts be?
I've tasted plenty.

[ Hmm... let him rethink that. ]

As a moogle.

Edible ones.

[ Nailed it. ]

How about a new moogle magitek vehicle?

[dragonsongs]

[ Please, Dakki, he has enough love to give every single person he loves! Though his expression shifts to amusement when she mentions that, a laugh breaking out of him. ]

Ah, my finest of dreams... I'd only just finished polishing that wood and fitting that robe when I was swept into a battle unlike any I'd have imagined. Then-

[ He pauses, eyes widening. ]

Hold- then, that Ballard, 'twas you! Here, I'd thought myself special for being so deeply in her thoughts that she would make me a part of her dream... but it was real, wasn't it?

[dragonsongs]

Have you, now.
You'll have to regale me of your many adventures of nutting, little moogle.


[ Divorce him. ]

I can't very well promise a vehicle if I don't even know you'll fit, you know.
Some moogles are very portly, aren't they?

[ He especially likes his moogle-kitty's love handles. ]

[castcure]

You remember that...

[ And all of her reservations, all of her defensiveness and embarrassment are briefly forgotten. They had connected. Fleetingly, yes, but these worlds that all came together here were, apparently, not so far apart after all. All of the things that could mean swim in her head. ]

It was very real! I ought to apologize for having brought you into such a dire fight! But you handled yourself admirably, and I am eternally grateful that you came and answered the call.

[ And she smiles with absolute sincerity. ]

[pentameld]

What a moogle does with his nuts are his own business.

Then send me the chroma, and I will buy it for myself.
We do not have to complicate things with measurements.
Did you get the app for transferring chroma from account to account?

[ Granted, he hasn't used his own, so he's not even sure how he'd get the chroma out of there. Does he have to fondle his device like he would a person? ]

[dragonsongs]

[ Oh thank the Twelve, he's saved by a dream. His gaze softens, recalling those vivid, sharp images of the shadows and darkness- of the being he couldn't even fathom... Gareki had told him he'd hit his head when he explained it, but here she is, repeating the very same.

Ah, he's not that touched in the head after all. ]

There it is. The smile I so adore. To see your relief- the relief my sweet Ballard would wear, was worth facing that unknown adversary for.

[ He chuckles. ]

I can't say I answered, much as I was swept away. But you do have that charm about you, my beauty. Even if you- rather Ballard, heavily deny it each time I bring it up. Perhaps you'll be more amenable to it?

[dragonsongs]

I'm afraid you'll have to help me, little moogle. I've no "chroma" to speak of.
Perhaps a kiss, or five, to deliver to the one I so miss?

It will be a delight for us both.

[ He never hands Gareki his gil because he knows he'll blow it on materials he absolutely will hoard and not use. ]

And you'll be paid handsomely, when you've worked so hard for it, yes?

[hoasen]

[The song doesn't annoy her at least, so she's clapping by the end of it. Perhaps it isn't annoying is because she has never heard of it? Hmm.]

That was a very interesting tune! I am not familiar to that song myself. And I am guessing you are a storyteller of some kind to be asking such a request?

[She pauses.] While I am not of your world, I have heard of these races. Some of them are very close friends. Like a "miqo'te". And elezen. I have also heard that those who look like myself are called "hyur".

[She sounds so proud of herself. Also that she has been refered to as Land Guardian but that's not the point. Also Klair, keep your jaw off the floor.]

[zazen]

[Let the voice enchant further, such so that Jakurai can continue learning about him.]

Only "Sen" sounds familiar, but that would mean you know of her as a human, correct? Rather, hyur, in your own terms.

[He has been taught so much, so he feels confident conversing at the very least.]

The world you hail from strikes me as rather interesting to say the least.
