007.th fragment [ACTION+VOICE]
[ Late in the morning of the second day since monsters started falling from the sky, Aether finds himself scavenging in the parts of the forest burned down by Yuber yesterday. It certainly looks well beyond recovery - the trees are a blackened mess and the only sounds of animals are those coming from monsters. Still, he cannot simply leave it like this, can he? This forest has been his home for the longest time...
It is while he's looking for any surviving animals - especially for the owl that's been following him for months now - that he runs across something very, very curious... ]
Kupo. [ Announces the small white furball with a pompom on its head. Aether kneels down in front of it to check on it, more curious than anything. ]
Hey there, little fellow. Are you lost?
Kupo. [ The Moogle tilts its head to the side. ]
Right... [ A long pause as he considers something. ] Want to go with me? I don't know if I can take you where you want to go, but at least you'll be safe.
Kupo... [ The creature shifts its head to the other side. A long pause, and it finally nods vigorously. ] Kupo!
Hahaha... [ Laughter is a rare thing when coming from Aether, and it is almost eerily relaxed in this case. ] All right. [ Pause. ] Ah, but you're something like a demon, right? I guess we'll have to make some rules if we travel together. First of all... no sitting on my head.
[ And so it continues. ]
[ A good forty minutes later, Aether's journal comes to life. The expression he gives the camera is rather concerned. ]
Hello? I am in need of a little help. If anyone can vouch for being from the same world as... [ He looks around for a moment, only to reach up and pull the Moogle off his head. ] ...this little guy, I would appreciate knowing what he eats or any other peculiarities. I tried asking, but the only thing he gives me is...
Kupo!
... Yes, that.
