So.

[It's a wonderful way to start a video out, Cayde's quite aware of that; eloquence, thy name is Exo.]

Anyone feeling a little...strange recently? Perhaps a bit normal?

[He's weedling for answers and not being subtle about it, no apologies ever. Not when he can feel his Light racing through his veins in sharp pulses. The start and stop nature of it, and what Astoria had said previously about the temple itself, is equal parts comforting and horrifying. One moment he feels alive and the next nothing, back to nothing more than a dulled machine.]

I know our lovely lady in the sky supposedly gave us all magic, I don't know I've only seen it, but I mean. Anyone feeling a little bit more like themselves then they have in a while?

[This is way too much of a coincidence.]

I can't really speak for what the rules are or why abilities were blocked regardless of how big or small they may be. I have friends here from my own world who have been unable to use their own magic until recently, and even then it seems to be fluctuating.

[sendinthecavalry]

Hm. I got a little out of our resident sky witch earlier, and apparently, it's the temple area itself that normally blocks our stuff? That's the best I got, and if you're saying you're getting hit too than apparently it's like...got way more control over everything than maybe we thought?

Your friends alright? This stuff isn't really a walk in the park.

[ Arenvald likes to downplay his Echo -- it's probably a bigger deal than what he makes it out to be, but it is most definitely a passive ability, regardless. ]

Well, one of them seems to be having trouble controlling his summon. If you see a white, glowing creature with long ears running about, keep your distance. It's a tough little thing and right now, it's got a mind of its own.

[sendinthecavalry]

[Well, that certainly is enough to catch his attention.]

...okay so I gotta ask, shoot or don't shoot? Because back where I'm from, glowy monsters generally mean bad news and get taken out asap.

[You only get blown up once before you learn that 'glowing' equals 'bad'.]

[ Cayde needs to see a carbuncle – they’re too cute to be monsters!! ]

Please don’t shoot it. You can’t technically kill it since it’s a construct made of aether, but if you don’t manage to dispel it, it will fight back. Unless provoked, I’d liken it to a dog that’s gotten off the leash – prone to get into trouble but not dangerous.

[sendinthecavalry]

Gotcha. Glad we worked that out beforehand, usually 'shoot first and ask questions later' is the modus operendi back home. Which is kind of bad, if you really think about it, but eh!

So if it's like a dog [!!!!] does that mean it...plays?

[paladorable]

You know… I’m not sure. I’ve never tried to play with a Carbuncle before. I suppose you could try. At worst it would probably just ignore you.

[ Or hit you with a knockback spell but it’s probably fine! ]

[sendinthecavalry]

So what I'm hearing then is quote unquote 'for science!' Where's the little guy now? I'm feeling downright scholarly.

[paladorable]

Uh. Gods, I’m not certain. Do you know Alphinaud? You could try giving him a call. He’s bound to be with Carbuncle, wherever it may have wandered off to.
