Do you really think so? I suppose I will have to risk his upset then. Sandy the octopus does have a nice ring to it.

[menphina]

Oh, hells, he can deal.

You're talking about Sandalphon, aren't you? Then you should call it Sandy even more. It's a compliment! It'll teach him not to be a crusty sandcrab.

[illuminism]

Are you a friend of his? It's always nice to meet a friend of a friend's.

[ Though Sandalphon would object to that term as well... ]

I would not be so hard on him. I've heard he's quite the poet.

[menphina]

He flew me around to help save a few folks around here, can't exactly say we're friends, but...

[ He may as well be. She doesn't take too long to make friends. ]

Who are you, anyroad?

[illuminism]

Another one of the Grandcypher's crew members. You may call me Lucio. And you are Matriarch?

[ An odd name, but the erune do have an eclectic culture. Who is he to judge? ]

[menphina]

Bloody hells, nay
. That's my username. It's a title you can use to access this... 'service', and it can be anything.

But I am a Matriarch of my tribe. My name is Megumi, of the Utakata Tribe in Eorzea. And if you're from the Grandcypher crew, I'm obligated to tell you I am not an erune, but a miqo'te- and definitely not from your world.

Unless your world has all-destroying dragons called Bahamut that came out of a falling moon and changed the land entirely, of course.

[illuminism]

[ Ah, that's a lot to process. Could it be that fragments of his shattered master reached other worlds? Or could there be multiple copies of him as there are multiple copies of himself? She is an erune by the name of miqo'te ...a parallel world almost. He wouldn't be surprised to find multiples exist outside of the realms even his power could reach. To think he had such a narrow understanding of everything for so long, but he'd played his part too long and too obediently and never questioned his master's impulsions enough. ]


Miqo'te then. My mistake. And tales throughout the Skydom are woven around Bahamut as both creator and destroyer, but falling out of a moon... that is a new one I've yet to hear. Was the moon a primordial egg of sorts?

[menphina]

[ That gets her attention‐ ]

Wait, you do?

I've never heard it called a primordial egg, it was just called a lesser moon by most. It was called Dalamud, created by a race called the Allag to hold him in it.

... though there's some debate on whether it was the actual Bahamut or an Allagan construct, but. I'm not exactly the source on that sort of thing. What's this primordial egg, then?

[illuminism]

[ That sounds like the Astrals... creating false primals out of the memories still lingering in the back of their minds. How interesting that all these similarities exist. ]

Just a guess since you said he came out of a moon. I imagined him being born from it, but the Creator- it's difficult to say. Some believe he came from beyond the stars themselves.

[ A moon wouldn't be out of the question, but he's sure his master was not created by any one as he easily predates all of creation. ]

[menphina]

[ Now she wishes Klair was here. He'd know all this better... ]

In a sense, you could say he was born from it, but...

Dragons, for one, aren't native to our Star. They came from elsewhere and settled here. The great wyrm-father Midgarsormr came from the Dragonstar beyond our own of Hydaelyn with his eggs, and sired his brood. Bahamut was among the great wyrms, along with Tiamat, Ratatoskr, Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg.

... what about primals? Do you have those as well? Like the beastmen worship... Garuda, Titan, Ifrit, the likes of those.

[purport]

No.

[To all of this but especially Lucio]

[menphina]

No takebacks it's Sandy now!!

[purport]

He can make up his own name instead of usurping that thing others call me.

[menphina]

If he wasn't making it up, he'd just call it Sandalphon!!

[purport]

People call me Sandy so often, he thought it was my actual name.

So no, he didn't come up with that himself. He's thousands of years late for that.

[menphina]

Point still stands. It had to be made up off of your name, regardless of who made it!

[ Deskslam! ]

And if he's calling his precious toy Sandy, that means he thinks you're precious enough for him to keep a reminder of you around! Accept his love!

[purport]

That's a mortifying notion. He hardly knows me, and I have no desire for his affections.

[He only has one Luciface in his heart, she will come to find.

In the meantime he's far too serious for this post]

If he were being at all original, he could call it something like Octavian. Why he needs to name a toy at all is beyond my knowing.

[menphina]

... what are you, 1000? Octavian is so old fashioned!!

[illuminism]

Oh? I thought you wouldn't mind sharing your namesake with such a revered animal in this land. It's a compliment.

[ Besides, Sandy was already outvoted. ]

[purport]

Unless you want it destroyed, think again.

[Like the points in Whose Line, the votes don't matter (to this guy)]

[illuminism]

A severe punishment for a creature made of thread and fluff, hardly deserving of it. Will you help me come up with a better name then?

[ If he really doesn't want to go with Sandy... ]

[purport]

[Is Lucio a child, he almost asks...

But the Captain did ask him to play nice]

Octavian. Satisfied?

[illuminism]

[ That reply does make him laugh a bit to himself. ]

Such a serious name. It does have an oddly poetic feel to it. Is it because of the eight arms?

[purport]

That is one reason. It's also a proper name and not a nickname.

[Is it really any surprise this is the sort of thing he'd suggest...]

[illuminism]

Is it so bad to be called a nickname? It is a sign of affection and closeness between friends.

[ Plus he likes seeing Sandalphon frizz up each time. ]
