barbecue.

[lostcompany]

[Night, and a campfire outside of town, in the lightly forested scrubland of the Neloi Flats. A good rendezvous point for a ragtag bunch of abductees; a point of interest for any stragglers, where fellow otherworlders can be found.

Just follow the smell of cooking meat. There's...there's a lot of it.

And while you're all feeding yourselves, there's a lot to talk about. For instance: who the fuck were the people that brought everyone here? What did they want? Who's interested in finding a way back home, and what's the best way to tackle that question? Where will everyone stay? How will everyone get along in this place?

All that and more, at the campfire.]

Is this current summons on this planet, or other planets?

[Maybe she knew Phoenix. People weren't sad over things they didn't know well.]

[corruptedcoil]

...This may be another planet, mightn't it.

[ she might be in S P A C E suck on that alphie ]

[maximumest]

[There's a slow nod.]

It's not the same one I was on last. It's ki is different, and there were no humans there, only shamoans.

[corruptedcoil]

Ki is an unfamiliar concept.

[ Alisaie says, with a shake of her head. ]

But there is a lack of Aether - and nothing seems to be Eorzean.

[maximumest]

...Mm. It's..

[He leans back, thoughtful.]

Life .. energy? Maybe? All living things make it. What is aether?

[corruptedcoil]

...The same. Except life is made of it, alongside making it. Primal take too much from their surroundings, and drain everywhere of life.

[maximumest]

I suppose we're also made of ki. If you lose it all you die..

[In theory.

But hadn't she said she IS a primal? That's when Broly actually pays attention, attempting to pick up on the ebb and flow of natural ki through the area. Was she absorbing it?]

There's plenty of life here. It would take a while to drain it all that way.

[corruptedcoil]

...It would.

[ She's uncomfy, but decides to add: ] It will be safe. Bahamut... is blocked from absorbing Aether. Except from this body.

[maximumest]

Do you need more? Is it like food?

[It's such an innocent question.]

[corruptedcoil]

...It's different. It holds my form - if there is more needed, it shall be absorbed.

I'll be seeking Crystals soon.

[maximumest]

If it's something a person can provide, I can probably give enough energy for you to work with for a while.

[Technically he could generate enough to do a hell of a lot more than that.]

[corruptedcoil]

...Those who work for a Primal have their minds stolen - tempered to serve their every role.

I'd not want that.

[maximumest]

[This is visibly considered, for a solid thirty seconds at least. Eventually:]

That wouldn't go so well for you. It's probably better to avoid it after all, unless I can figure out a different way to do it.

[corruptedcoil]

...You worry it would harm me?

[ A pause, before: ]

You're strong. I need strong. To stop me, in case I lose control.

[maximumest]

...Yes.

[Well not so much the energy itself as the rest of it, but ... that gets complicated and explaining would be hard.

Except on the surface it sounded like she had a very similar problem.]

What happens when you lose control?

[corruptedcoil]

The Dreadwyrm awakens. Again. And all would fall, for there is none who'd have the strength to seal him once more.

[maximumest]

Is sealing the only option?

[He didn't know what that even MEANT, so it wasn't likely he'd be able to do it. Seal it? Like with a gasket?

That didn't sound right at all.]

[corruptedcoil]

...Yes. It is what I am doing.

[ It comes out. ]

Bahamut is inside me.

[maximumest]

[A potentially world-destroying challenge. Were he a normal saiyan he'd probably be drooling at the opportunity.

He rubs his hands through his hair instead, frowning. It's not an 'if' he could manage, but 'would'.]

.... Well. If it comes to it, I'll see what I can do.
