Eighth Transmutation | [video/action for Ecruteak] GIT GUD

[armoredsoul]

[The video comes on to Alphonse grinning widely and holding up a nice, sparkly new Fog Badge to the camera.]

I did it! I really did it, I got the badge! I mean, my team was way higher level than his, but still--!

[Behind Alphonse, a Liepard jumps up to put his paws on his trainer's shoulders and gives Al a lick on the cheek...then sneezes a glowing feather off his nose.]

Ah hah, Cecil, jeez! --oh, yeah, are these feathers falling anywhere else? They're all over town, and there's nothing in the sky that should be dropping them...at least that I can see.

Thank you!

Maybe not some things, but this could be a warning for things to come, like all the swarms and earthquakes wound up being before. If it's something happening everywhere, it'd be good to be prepared for...well, for something. I'm not sure what glowing feathers would be warning for.

Maybe the planet's going to crack open and a giant bird will emerge.

[It's hard to tell if Lust is joking or not.]

[Joke or not, he still laughs.]

It's kinda sad that I wouldn't be too surprised by that.

I doubt that anyone who's been here more than a handful of months would be.

I'd say closer to four or five, but yeah. This world really doesn't have any sane definition of normal.

Four or five can count as a handful. I can hold five pieces of candy in my hand.

Well, five small pieces.

But this world eats madness and breathes insanity, it's true.

Heh, I was thinking of bigger things in that handful, I guess.

At least it's a sort of...benign kind of crazy, though. Kid-friendly instead of out of a horror story or something.

I always think of small things. It seems more likely a person would have a handful of small things.

But I have small hands.

I think that depends on your idea of horror.

Video

[armoredsoul]

...mm, I guess that's true. I always think of the creepy skeleton or axe-murderers kind by default.

For reasons I imagine are obvious, that sort of thing doesn't strike much of a chord of terror in me.

A world that doesn't obey my understanding of physics and nature? That's terrifying.
