[The communicator flickers to life only for the screen to be entirely white. After a moment, Ashe becomes vaguely visible, though she's looking off into the fog rather than into the device.]

This fog... bears similarity to the Mist which engulfs certain regions of Ivalice. Whether it has magical properties or not, it is equally as unsettling to

I am not certain any amount of wind magic can clear this fog.

[dynast_daughter]

A suggestion, nothing more. It appears we can do little other than wait for it to clear.

[dragons_are_ok]

The fog is troublesome... I'd actually like to explore the ruins of this city a bit, but the weather makes it impossible.

...Um... I take it by the way you say 'mist', it's a little something different than a light drizzle in your world?

[dynast_daughter]

Have you not been in the city for long? Forgive me, keeping track of people's movements inward and outward is difficult.

It is, yes. The Mist is a source of magical energy, still a mystery in many respects. Wandering within can be perilous.

[dragons_are_ok]

I am. And there's nothing to forgive, really! I imagine it's pretty tough to keep track of much of anything here. Oh right! My name is Lillet Blan. You, miss?

It sounds a bit like Mana in my world, though Mana tends to crystallize.

What does the Mist do that makes it perilous?

[dynast_daughter]

It certainly isn't easy, by any standards. People come and are returned home so frequently...

[And now she's a little wistful.]

I am Ashelia Dalmasca. Ashe. In Ivalice, we utilize a stone known as magicite, which gives us the magical energy we need. The Mist is almost like a gaseous form of magicite. It can be useful, in moderation. Too much Mist, and it becomes potent enough to... to destroy entire cities.

... Hello?

Is someone there?

[dynast_daughter]

I can't make out your words, there's too much static. Do you require assistance?

[captain_basch]

If only it were so easy. [Casting magic to clear the fog that is.]

... are you outside, Majesty?

[dynast_daughter]

The fog makes people uneasy, but yes. I know better than to expect an easy solution.

... I am on the rooftop. I had thought visibility may be improved from a height, that more of the city could be seen. I was wrong, to think so.

[captain_basch]

Are you planning on staying up there long? What is left of the roof cannot be very stable, Majesty.

[dynast_daughter]

I am on my way down, now. I did not venture away from the ladder, as the structure is indeed unstable. I was simply... curious.

[vieraskypirate]

It is not the same.

[dynast_daughter]

You feel no ill effect?

I... must apologise for any lack of greeting on my part. Balthier must be incredibly glad, to see you again.

[vieraskypirate]

I cannot say. I know only that it is nothing like the Mist of Ivalice. It is strange.

There is no need. Yes, it would seem though I saw him not long ago. He said time works strangely here.

[dynast_daughter]

And equally as perilous, no doubt, from the report I have been hearing.

It does, yes. Both he and I have been here, in this city, for what feels like the longest of times. And Basch... the last he recalls of Ivalice was our entrance into Raithwall's Tomb.
