With as sparse as communication with me is you'd think I was changing my day job from treasure hunter to ninja

I've heard of a phoenix but not an esper.

[Pause.] I've actually seen a phoenix.

voice;

[pickn_pockets]

Really?

An esper is the remains of a summon, we use them to perform magic, summons and other assorted things.

Aw, saying it like that makes me sound like some terrible necromancer...

voice;

[dasupporter]

That sounds rather interesting. So that's how you use magic?

I haven't seen one here, but at home they were rare, but existed as magical beings. The Headmaster of my school had one pledge its loyalty to him.

voice;

[pickn_pockets]

Yeah, but some people are fused with the espers to use magic naturally-- or as magical as that gets. Side effects can be nasty.

I'm in need of a pheonix-- It's the sort that comes back to life, right?

...Must be one hell of a headmaster.

voice;

[dasupporter]

I'm rather glad my magic doesn't work like that. What kind of side effects?

I wish Fawkes were here. Maybe I can call him somehow. Yes, they do.

[There's a sad tilt to her voice here.] He was.

voice;

[pickn_pockets]

Certain levels of insanity. It varies by person, but it's a very.... distinct change in character. But you're sort of melding another person into you for their power so I suppose it makes sense?

No idea, I'm not a scientist.

If I could get a look at this Pheonix or... you know, maybe reason with it, I'd really appreciate it.

I'd never be able to repay you.

...... How do you mean 'was'? Did they lose their way?

voice;

[dasupporter]

That doesn't sound very good.

[She pauses here, as though she doesn't really want to tell him the news she has.] I don't think Fawkes is here, exactly, and there's no Time Turner.

...I'm sorry.

[Another pause and slightly softer.] He died... close to two months ago back home.

voice;

[pickn_pockets]

Never is a very pleasant merge, one way or another. Only one person's done it flawlessly, and science had nothing to do with that. People have been searching for her to get their hands on her ever since...

[tkes him a second to realise Fawkes? Was the Pheonix? And it only mildly dampens his enthusiasm] Still, it's one thing to know a Pheonix exists somewhere. Now I just have to find one...

[further silence, his expression sobering into something apologetic] He seems quite dear to you still. Great men don't stop becoming great after death, remember that.
