{1st Blastia; Action & Voice}

[astion]

[Okay, so this whole. Getting kidnapped thing is not entirely new to Estelle. What is new it getting kidnapped to a whole new world. She of course knows of travel and loves the ocean and stars, but somehow all of this...she never thought there might be worlds like this out there besides those in the books she read. She's curious, examining the fountain and its words thoughtfully before flipping through the journal, and unfortunately with how she gets when reading, this may mean she might end up bumping into somebody as she wanders only half paying attention to her surroundings as she investigates the book.]

It seems like there are a lot of people who were brought here too. To find these shards....? I guess there are others who just recently arrived too. I'm Estelle! I'm not sure if my friends might be among them, but if they are, I'd like to join a crew with them together! If anyone has seen or heard from Yuri, Flynn, Judith, Rita, Raven or Karol, please let me know. I'm sure if they are here they are also worrying about me and things back home too.

I'm not sure how much a ship might be, but if that really is the best way, the way to possibly get home and find these shards, then we don't have much other choice, do we? This is almost kind of exciting as much as it is....a little scary. There are so many new people to meet, so much new land to explore! And I never knew there were books like this!

Oh! And um, if my friends aren't here, I could join a different crew. I can heal, so that might help, especially out on the ocean traveling!

[The recording stops when she accidentally bumps into someone and drops her book. Oops.]

I guess it's just unfamiliar territory with no guides?

We don't have Yuri yet, so...

[Funny how he was always the guide, even when he had no clue where they were going...]

[astion]

I suppose so. I'm not sure if the locals here are going to be much help, unfortunately. I did ask, but they didn't say much. But so long as we stick together, I'm sure we'll be fine and figure it out.

[And even then he pretty much just goes with the flow, allowing Estelle to dictate where to go next most of the time.]

[sage_of_aspio]

Hopefully. This place... Have you noticed it's got no blastia? Not like Myorzo either where there's just no cores, but a bunch of abandoned blastia.

[astion]

It doesn't seem to have any, you're right. At least, from what I've seen. But maybe there just aren't any here around where we arrived? I'm not sure how this all works, exactly. But I do hope our magic and our blastia still work....

[It would certainly be a lot harder without their bohdi blastia to help them in battles, at the very least. Estelle isn't sure if she could heal without it, without the aer and other properties of their homeland either.]

[sage_of_aspio]

The thing is, I've still got mine... And near as I can tell without trying anything, it still seems to function. So there's Aer here. But no blastia to manipulate it with, besides ours.

[astion]

Oh. I wasn't sure if it would work here, in a whole different world. That is great news! It would be a lot harder without our blastia. I don't suppose we'll find any others besides our own to help us here though. We might need to figure alternatives and other ways to do things. Which I guess could be good practice for afterwards, if things work out as planned back home, right?

[It's hopeful, still perhaps uncertain. Estelle knows what needs to be done, but she is still nervous about the reactions to what they intend to do. Still, right now there are more pressing concerns, and they need to get home before worrying about things too far ahead.]

[sage_of_aspio]

Well, you've got a point there.

Though who's to say the alternatives here would work back in Terca Lumereis? That's a concern all its own...

Never mind that we need a place where I can rig up a workshop.

[astion]

That's true too. I guess we just have to wait and see, what we come up with here, whether it would work back home too.....

[There is a pause, and a small, almost knowing smile at Rita already mentioning a workshop. Of course even here she still wants to research.]

I'm sure we could figure something out, some specific room on the ship maybe.

[sage_of_aspio]

Ships, huh?

Hopefully they'll be at least as good as the Fiertia.

... And easier to learn how to sail.

[astion]

Don't worry, Rita. I'm sure between us we can figure something. I'm sure if sailing is this important we will be able to find some information about it, or find someone who could help us.

[Ever the optimist here out of the two of them, of course. Estelle doesn't appear nearly as concerned as Rita. At least, not about their situation at hand but more worried about their friends.]

[sage_of_aspio]

... I just hope you're right about that...
