[The video reveals a young Viera woman, her dark skin a contrast to her short, stark white hair, and long rabbit-like ears that extend far upwards. Her red eyes are wide and anxious, and her accent thick. She fights to keep her voice calm though is not doing an exceptional job of it.]My name is Mjrn. If a moment could be spared to answer my

[At this point Lili has seen all manner of people arrive, but no one with ears quite like Mjrn's. For a moment she just stares at the screen curiously, but then she flips on her own feed, concerned for the newcomer. Arriving here was always difficult, no matter the person.]

Mjrn? My name is Lilisette. I hail not from Ivalice, nor have I met anyone who hails from there. But I am a refuge like the others and yourself. And, should I be able, I'll answer any questions you have.

There is much to tell of these worlds and what has likely become of your own.

[Mjrn's shoulders sag in disappointment at Lilisette's initial news, though she takes comfort in the fact that at least someone has responded.]

I see. You have my thanks, for all that you may provide.

[She frowns in thought.]

I...I know not where to begin. Our worlds...are they truly lost to us?

[Lili dislikes being the bearer of bad news, but there's always so much to tell newcomers, and usually it's not good news.]

I've been told that, though our worlds were devoured by Darkness, there's a way to win them back. I'm still trying to determine exactly how, but there's proof within reach of us. The world called Radiant Garden, where I take residence now, was once lost to Darkness as well.

If we keep believing they can be returned, and we keep striving to restore them, I'm sure we'll win them all back. [She offers a gentle smile.] The same goes for your loved ones. I'm certain they'll turn up in time.

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Mjrn nods, less certain but longing to see them.]

I pray this is so. They do not deserve such a fate.

...this Radiant Garden, how was it regained?

[detectivelassie]

[Oh god. Just. What? Here, Lassiter thought he'd seen everything, but then--]

Rabbit ears? Honestly? --And I'm sure you're going to tell me they're real, too.

[Staring. All the staring.]

[video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Some staring in return, since she's not used to this reaction. But she nods.]

Aye, they are.

[video]

[detectivelassie]

...Are there cat people and frog people where you're from, too?

[video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[She frowns softly at that, shaking her head.]

No. I am a Viera. It seems my kind are not found outside Ivalice, unlike Humes.

[After everything else, Locke's not as shocked by the strange appearance as he thought he might be.]

I don't know your friends! But I can look for them.

[Video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[That brings simultaneous disappointment and relief.]

If you learn of their presence and inform me, I would be most grateful.

What is your name, sir?

[Video]

[aliveinphoenix]

oh! I'm Locke.

I'll tell you if I see them on my treasure hunting trips!

[But he barely knows what he's looking for.]

What do they look like?

[Video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

Fran resembles me, save her hair is quite long and she carries a bow. Balthier.... [...is a Hume and Humes are still a blur to her.] His hair is short and he dresses stylishly, with rings of many colors. They will often be side by side.

...treasure hunting?

[Ah- Marle's not sure how to respond to the rabbit ears. Granted, she's dealt with the Fiends before, but none of them have ears like that.

But it's so cool!]

I'm not sure where Ivalice is, or who your friends are, but maybe they'll show up soon?

[video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Mjrn nods, undeniably anxious.]

I hope this is so. I cannot be the only soul from Ivalice remaining....

[video]

[guardiaprincess]

Have hope. Your friends are strong, right? Then they got out of there.

[video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

Then...why have I not heard from them?

[Video]

[skyboundknight]

There's no returning anytime soon. You'd best get used to it.

[Although his words may seem unsympathetic, Kain delivers them in an even tone, figuring he may as well tell this strange newcomer the truth right away.]

[Video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Mjrn stares at his armor in fascination for a moment, but soon snaps back to the topic at hand.]

But...is there nothing that can be done? I would not remain idle.

[Video]

[skyboundknight]

...We'll find a way, although it might take time.

[Video]

[dewdrop_pebbles]

[Mjrn fidgets, impatient.]

Even so, I am willing. Do you know how I might best contribute? I have my magick and spear...I will fight, if I must.
