I - Observations

[dynast_seraph]

[Ashe's handwriting isn't as neat as one might perhaps expect - but then, working with the Resistance didn't leave much time to keep up with her penmanship.]

So, I've reached Soeldei at last. The city of new beginnings... Perhaps there can be one even for me.

I'm staying in a hostel in Psilos district - Chairetizo, I believe it's called.  The owner

Hello?

[dynast_seraph]

Who are you?

[confuedbyyou]

I am Minamoto no Hiromasa. Hello!

[dynast_seraph]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Minamoto. My name is Ashelia, but everyone calls me Ashe.

How are you writing in my journal?

[confuedbyyou]

Hello, Ashe-san!

I'm writing in my journal and it shows up in yours! Then when you write in yours, it shows up in mine.

[dynast_seraph]

I see... Perhaps this is what the crystal in the cover is for, then - channeling the magick to connect the journals.

[confuedbyyou]

Gohan-san thought the same!

[dynast_seraph]

Perhaps it's some sort of magicite after all, then.

[confuedbyyou]

Magicite? What's that?

[dynast_seraph]

It's a sort of stone that holds Mist. It's difficult to explain... I'm hardly an expert on the matter.

[confuedbyyou]

Mist? How do you mean?

[dynast_seraph]

Perhaps it's something that only happens in Ivalice. It's a sort of... energy; magick is worked by manipulating it.

[confuedbyyou]

Oh.

Is Ivalice the name of the place you're from?

[dynast_seraph]

Yes... I come from the city of Rabanastre in the country of Dalmasca. Ivalice is...

... I'm beginning to suspect it's another world of some sort.

[confuedbyyou]

It's another world to me, that's for sure. I've never heard of those places you mention. I'm from Heian-kyo. Might you have heard of it?

[dynast_seraph]

I don't think so, no...

I'm starting to suspect that the airship that brought me to the town on the mainland wasn't exactly ordinary.
