Welcome to Gaia! ::

(say! Kaye has as many characters here as I have OCs Here!)

((No, I just suck at drawing them... They are either too big or too small, but never anything in between. That's why female Ganzis are... *ahem* flat-chested.))

((I hate using Anima. Takes all the fun out of the game, since he can break the damage limit without you having to earn anything... I prefer Ifrit. I am currently saving up for Yojimbo and do not care about the Magus Sisters enough to bust my a** trying to earn them.))

((Using Kimari is a double-edged sword. You need to move him on the right path, or he will be useless throughout the entire game until you hit another. Z, you were wise to bring him through Auron's path... I, on the other hand, took him through Yuna's. Worst decision EVER.))

Raedou nodded his head and clutched his fork harder than before.

"Yes..." he said, "That's his name. He is my brother... Or at least he used to be..."

He turned away, glaring at his salad.

((I will post for all other characters when I have time... but I do not, since I am at school and lunch is about to end.))

((Actually, I took Rikku's path. Auron's is inaccessible, actually, to Kimahri. But before I even found Rikku, Kimahri was stronger and better than Auron. With piercing, of course.))

((Bahamut breaks the damage limit.))

((Now I'm stuck accumulating sphere points for Tidus and Auron, until I can figure out where to move them. Tidus will leak into Yuna's path, and Auron into Tidus'. Wakka is my strongest character.))

((Onto Yunalesca!))

Lucius walked softly to the chamber, then glanced at Tanessa. "You know that they only need to figure out what the imbalance is. Correct it, which is easy, and then he's free."

Unfortunately, the 'imbalance' was a very epic secret in the center of the Academy. A small girl named Elysia.

Lucius stopped and turned to Irwin, his mouth open to reply a matter-of-fact answer, when he paused, contemplating. "...You know, I have no idea," the monk replied. "Anyhow, my name is Lucius. I... unfortunately, am employed here. Is there anything I can do to speed up your visit here, since you aren't exactly pleased with the current situation?"

"...Believe me, you aren't the only ones," Lucius added inaudibly.

Lucius turned to silently watch Leonard, his expression blank, his eyes expectant.

Tanessa turned, eyes grave and bloodshot, when she head Leonard's voice. Her lips, which seemed dry and cracked now, opened with effort. She tried to speak. She failed. So she, too, waited expectantly, watching Leonard.

The unspoken word between them all was, "Continue."

((What kind of a force would be required to destroy the Chamber from within? I'm not saying Cedric is some kind of demi-god or would do this; he can't; but I am curious.))

Cedric's words could be heard (or maybe they were muffled) from within the chamber. "I can't leave! I must... I must see her!"

((Who all is in on the loop? I don't think Lucius knows, can he...?))

Tanessa obviously took the wrong meaning from this. She frowned, suddenly full of vitality, and marched over to Leonard, pointing and jabbing his chest. "He wants to see me. You fix him, whatever's wrong, and then we can go! Don't you want him to be gone? Just another unstable Magus, nothing really important to you..." Tanessa trailed off, or maybe everybody else just stopped listening to her.

Lucius was curious. He was a quiet and intelligent person, and a lone eyebrow raised in Leonard's direction. Lucius was still silent.

"...I won't leave," came the muttered reply from behind the chamber door. At this, Tanessa went visibly hysterical, and soon enough fainted.

Lucius immediately rushed to Tanessa's side, and began administering a light from his hand that would heal general malady. Without turning his head away from his work, Lucius asked, "What is it, Archmagus? What is that child babbling about? ...What's so powerful in the Academy that would do this?"

((Because I want to be annoying. XP))
