[holding up her now blackened crystal, which was actually in the shape of Vanille's crystal.]

Is it just me, or did anyone else have their little "gift" from a few weeks ago turn black? This little gem used to be as brilliant as mine [holds up her own crystal] but ever since the other day, it's been like this

[Looks like these two think alike. Her crystal, which was in the shape of Hope's, is now equally just as black. She holds it up for Fang to see, clearly annoyed with the recent development.]

You're not the only one with the bad feeling.

[rendtheskies]

[have a cheeky grin]

Place just gets better and better.

[shines_bright]

[A small sigh for you.]

It was pretty quiet for a while there, we should have expected this.

[rendtheskies]

After last time, sure. But something doesn't feel right. Like it'll be different.

Have you heard anything?

[shines_bright]

Nothing, but the locals look spooked. I'm feeling a little anxious myself.

[rendtheskies]

Same here. You saw that weird call the other day, didn't you?

[shines_bright]

Responded to it and wasted my time. Why?

[rendtheskies]

Same here. But I can't help think that it might be related. They seemed different.

[shines_bright]

Different how, Fang?

[rendtheskies]

Well for starters, they definitely weren't one of us. ["us" meaning people from other worlds] But you've seen the people around here. They just move around without a care in the world.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but something just doesn't feel right. There's something strange going on, and it's not just the weather.

[shines_bright]

[She's silent for a moment, considering everything that Fang has to say. She can't help but feel uneasy about all of this. If it were just her she wouldn't have cared, but now there were people here she had to protect. She snorts to mask her concern, but really...it shines through regardless.]

There's always something strange going on here, but it's never felt like this. All we can do is prepare and wait.

[rendtheskies]

[she can see through that, but she won't say anything. instead have an impatient "Tsk"]

Wait. Wait, wait, wait, it's all we ever do. I know we have no choice, but I'd feel better if we could do something. Gather supplies, inform the others, I don't know, anything.

[shines_bright]

You've already informed everyone with this. As for supplies, that's what I meant by preparing.

[An impatient sigh, she doesn't like it either.]

We can't prevent this so we do what we can, Fang. And this is all we can do right now.

[rendtheskies]

I know, I know. [have a sigh as well]

Then I guess it's a shopping trip for us.

[shines_bright]

[A small pause, before she snorts.]

Haven't had one of those in a while.

[rendtheskies]

Really? Then I guess it's high time you went on one.

Want the whole party or should we keep it small?
