[A deep, rumbling baritone voice speaks.]

I am here.

Who has summoned me?

(ooc: mentions of blood and violence in comments)

( Voice; UN: dragonspirit )

[kohaku_river]

( He is immediately cautious...suspicious. Someone with a voice like that might be powerful. )

The powers of this land. You are not alone.

[eightfoldfiend]

Clearly not.

But I find your answer...insufficient.

Who manages these powers?

[kohaku_river]

I don't know. ( All he knows is that he is rather solid for a spirit and he has a familiar. ) We have been brought for a purpose, that is clear. Do you have a familiar too?

[leitstern]

[A clipped, polite voice answers.]

I am certain many will offer the hearty answer of the powers of this land. It is an uncomplicated explanation. A master summons his servant, does he not?

Though of course nobody has called upon me. On the contrary, I have no master here. Have you?

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

That is what I'm trying to determine.

When humans call upon me they have a reason....

Though I would not consider such summoners my "masters".

[leitstern]

Oh, would that be because they are human?

[Yes, he noticed that particular word.]

[omnicrafter]

What if I said it was me?

[She is aaaaabsolutely pulling his leg. This may or may not be a good idea.]

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

[Press X to doubt]

You reached across reality into the Emptiness to close your hand upon me and bring me here?

[omnicrafter]

I've crossed the Rift before. Reaching out across it isn't much bigger a feat.

[Sounding quite proud of herself there. It's only half a lie, all things considered. Too bad G'raha isn't here anymore...]

It just makes aiming a little hard, you know? All that empty.

[theleadingman]

[A bit heavy-handed, as far as entrances go, but Balthier can respect the drama of it at the very least.]

A question not so easily answered. Your familiar had some hand in it, I would imagine.

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

Why is it not so easily answered?

If you wretches were all summoned as well then why did none of you think to ask about all this?

[theleadingman]

Quite the assumption, thinking we haven't. Even if that were the case, I could ask the same of you. I don't believe this counts.

[Or was this really your first option, sir?]

voice; un: bluerose

[birdflipping]

Well, don't you sound like a ray of sunshine.

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

[With a faint lilt of amusement.]

How should I sound?

[birdflipping]

I dunno, more... friendly? Less demon who just stepped out from the gates of hell?

Audio; un: Caster

[colchismagecraft]

'Summoned', hm? Interesting choice of words.

[Was he another Servant?]

You likely won't find your Master here.

audio;

[eightfoldfiend]

Then where?

Someone has called me and I refuse to believe that it was the will of this world or the will of my familiar that did so.

[colchismagecraft]

If it is another Magus who has done such a thing, they must be unimaginably powerful- considering it broke the pact myself and others had with our Masters to call us here... and that is before you consider those from worlds other than our's.

voice; un: birdofprey

[notquitetamed]

If you find out, I'm dyin' to hear who it is. I want to know who to beat the shit out of for summoning me and not giving me something to fight.

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

Alas, everyone has been unhelpful.

I don't have an enemy to name for you.

[notquitetamed]

So not surprised. All I know is it wasn't the bitch who usually summons me and they sure got around a powerful curse keeping me in a cage. Not sure if it's worth gettin' out if I'm just gonna be bored.

voice; un: respite

[unhappy]

Someone went to drama camp.

[ Rude commentary aside.. ] Why didn't you ask the guy at the Rent-a-Ride when you got here? They were providing free explanations for this whole thing. It's not exactly some kind of mystery, they want us to know why we're here.

[ Okay, she didn't set the rude commentary aside. Sorry, she's got an attitude problem. ]

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

Time has ceased to flow in our realms and we are here with our familiars to set things in motion again through use of native magic.

Yes, I understand that much... But surely I do not need to point out the holes in that information.

voice; un: lightfellowc

[ofsilverflame]

Of course. Our world is frozen in time, I am pulled across worlds to save it...of course I would find a cockroach like you here, Yuber.

I'd hoped to have seen the last of you for a long time after we sent you scuttling off at the Ritual Site.

voice;

[eightfoldfiend]

Is that the voice of the silver she-devil I hear?

Don't blame me for my presence. Blame whatever power brought you to this place...

Perhaps its fumbling hand closed on me while it was seeking a...Champion.
