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.]

[Great. Now Zack has to go back to his history and science lessons to try and remember exactly how it works. What did Sephiroth say once...]

Uhhh. Right, they come from mako springs. Openings in the earth where the uh... Life of the planet seems out. The energy in the spring gets condensed and pop you get magic rocks.

[Nailed it.]

[sendinthecavalry]

Okay. So. Magic rocks that pop out of the Earth, got it.

[He's actually willing to take that at face value, it's not any stranger than anything back home. Maybe that's a little worrying.]

And then you just scoop 'em up and whoosh! Magic!?

[activatingcombatmode]

Haha, well there's a little learning and getting used to how to use em. Don't want to just pick one up and blast your own arm off. That's why most people attach them to weapons and armour.

So, what about you, man? What's all this about whispering and dark corners?

[sendinthecavalry]

Can confirm: losing an arm sucks, a lot. I can definitely understand that sentiment.

[But really...]

Oh not me, no whispers here. Friend of mine, see she's got this rock? Glows green, apparently talks to her, honestly it's a little bit of a downer sometimes.

[activatingcombatmode]

[Has this guy lost an arm or two? He has Zack's sympathies. That's rough.]

Yeah, I don't think rocks are supposed to talk. You sure she's alright?

[Or is she kind of crazy like another person with silver hair he knows that talks to rocks??]

[sendinthecavalry]

Oh she's absolutely not alright. [It's said as a fact, just as casually as if they're talking about the weather.] Got some real spooky stuff going on with her, enough to give a guy the creeps. So you see why talking rocks are bad news, yeah?

[activatingcombatmode]

[Talking rocks are bad, man.]

Yeah. I'll pass on those kinds of rocks, thanks.
