Since when do Moogles have arms... [A voice mutters as the video feed flickers on and off a few times, finally showing pyreflies and the ruins of Zanarkand, though the image is shaky as the holder is very clearly unused to the workings of the sky phone.]

Since always, kupo! [The image finally moves to show the face of a fascinated Selkie, though

They're useful little contraptions, aren't they? [Lilisette smiles, but then tilts her head to the side curiously.] But... What good are Moogles without arms?

[The phone goes flying as Bal Dat jumps back, the video suddenly aimed right up at the sky.]

Hey! Don't throw it, kupo! [He was not expecting a face to appear and start talking to him, not one bit.]

[Her mouth drops open as the world spins. At first she's worried something happened, but then she hears the Moogle. W-what in the world?] Hey!

Re: [Video] lol, I'm so sorry.

[applethievery]

[Nope, just a technologically-challenged Selkie taken by surprise.]

It's talking!

It's a transmission, kupo! How rude...

[arrogant_flirt]

[Oh no...not another Selkie.]

Hi there. What are you doing so far out there.

[applethievery]

[Got a problem with Selkies?

Bal Dat stares at the screen, still getting used to the idea of people talking through it. After a few moments, he frowns, putting on a tough front.]

Falling from the sky, if that mutant Moogle is to be believed.

[arrogant_flirt]

[If you so all the wheeling and dealing those Selkies have been up to in Alfitaria, you'd understand. Still, he'd rather keep an eye on them.]

[Edge laughs.]

You don't look too hurt to me. Besides, you ought to stop by Alfitaria soon.

[applethievery]

[Bal Dat's eyebrows knit, and while he's familiar with Alfitaria, he can't guarantee he'd be able to move freely in it, given his relative level of notoriety back home]

Maybe. If I get around to it.

[dewdrop_pebbles]

...moogles in your world do not have arms?

[Video]

[applethievery]

[Sorry, can't comprehend question, too busy staring at ears.]

[Video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Her brow furrows.]

You are...Selkie?

[Good thing she's seen one of his kind before, at least?]

Re: [Video]

[applethievery]

...Obviously. What are you? [What is tact?]

[triplepenalty]

[Wakka sympathizes. Bal Dat's early experiments with the SkyPhone are so much like his own. In fact... he still just kind of pushes buttons until things happen.]

The map is pretty useful, ya? When you can get it to show up...

[applethievery]

[Bal Dat's from a world where the extent of technology is sail boats. Oh course he's going to just push buttons. Though to be honest, he's not quite sure what buttons he pushed to make the map show up.

All these strange faces keep appearing. The hair says 'Selkie,' but...]

...Does that say 'Alfitaria?' [He points at a dot on the map.]

[triplepenalty]

[Wakka nods slowly.]

I haven't been there yet, but I've seen it on the map before. Hear it's pretty big.

[applethievery]

[Oh good, then there was a familiar city nearby after all. He just had to follow this map, and from there, he could regain his bearings...

But what if someone in Alfitaria recognized him? He was at least somewhat notorious in his world, so moving in Alfitaria of all places might not be the easiest thing to do. Then again, he was quick enough to evade any old Lilty.]

Bal Dat nodded in return.

It's big, alright, and it's convinced it's the center of the world. [Although, Bal Dat wasn't aware of just how big Alfitaria was. It had grown in the centuries after the miasma had lifted, and he was from the age of miasma, so he would be in for a surprise when he got around to traveling there.]

[whiteblessing]

[SIGH.] Let the moogle do its job. It knows how to use the phone.

[video]

[applethievery]

[Bal Dat stared at the screen for a few seconds. With hair that color, this person had to be another Selkie.]

I'll figure it out.

[video]

[whiteblessing]

[Side eye at the staring. Of course she's going to ask.] What?

[And yeaaah. She's not convinced.] And what button did you press to bring up the map?

[video]

[applethievery]

[Sometimes it was difficult to tell the difference between Selkies and Clavats. Hair color was the most obvious defining trait, but it wasn't foolproof. Bal Dat shook his head--it wasn't important. As for which button he'd pressed...]

...This one. [Of course, pointing at said button when the other person couldn't see it was pointless.]
