You'd think nothing should grow in an island without people.
[ Once upon a time in Animal Crossing... It's fine. ]
A lot of unexplainable magic... [ Grumble. ] The more this fog comes into play, the more it feels like the cult is fumbling with powers beyond their control. They should just quit!
Without anyone tending to the flowers or to the vegetables or the trees, it's almost like a miracle they're growing on their own. But the answer is probably magic. [she gives him a little look that's half a grin and half questioning.] I can never really tell what your feelings are on that sort of thing.
[she means magic in general. but there's a nod.]
That's...maybe a good sign, right? The less of a tight leash, the more we might be able to sway things out way. [a grin.] We're at least better off than last week with real showers. [PLEASE. HER DESIRE TO SHOWER AND BE CLEAN.]
[ HOW DID I MISS THIS... IT WAS DURING THE GAUNTLET OF WEEKENDS ]
Jujutsu likely falls under magic to most people, but it makes sense to me because I understand it down to a subatomic level. [ Is this just science... ] I don't understand anything here, so... What power source do they use?
[ ergh ]
Maybe. Easier to break something that isn't full proof, but I also am offended to be sacrificed without proper preparation and research. [ ... ] Cult, if you're listening in! Do not take our showers just because I insulted you!
[THE WAY YOU WENT BACK AND JUST FOUND THIS hello.]
I could say the same about my materia, but when you've been using it for so long it kinda becomes second instinct, huh? I do wonder if the power source is a combination of things, especially with how many moving parts there are.
[she watches him yell this, looking up at the sky as if the cult will respond.]
If our showers disappear, I'm definitely blaming you for that one.
I can't disagree with that. [that is in fact why they call it magic. but she doesn't mind the segue and smiles.] But sure. Home's...different from what I think your home might be like. I've been in Midgar my whole life until recently when we left, and everything outside of the city's so different. I never thought the sky would change so much like that.
[this is what she starts with because that is maybe a weird sentence.]
Like at all. We didn't have the sky under the plate, so you could only see it if there was a hole, or if you went topside. The idea actually used to scare me a little.
Kinda? More like we lived on the ground level, and the plate was above covering us and acting as the base for the city surrounding Shinra. The people who could afford it lived above the plate, so...usually people with connections to Shinra. And the rest of us in Midgar lived in the sector slums and made do with what we had.

At least there are showers.

It might be. War would say something like magic isn't different from technology, but I think that's from compensating.
[ Whispering. ]
I have no power over this. It is the cult's fault—everything is.
no subject
Sorry. I might have to agree with War on that one, but that's only because a lot of the technology where we're from uses what people might call magic.
[shaking her head!!!]
You did just taunt them! You have to take some responsibility here.
no subject
[ He does laugh at that. It is easier for them! ]
Okay, maybe I'll taunt them less if you tell me more about home!
