To almost everyone;

[sullenstallion]

Hey.

I want to see the Calamity for myself. What's the best way to get out there and see it? I'll even put up with a guide if that's what it takes.

[Everything about Dylas is unfortunate. First, he's nocturnal, so Koporo is delivering these letters at an ungodly hour of the evening. Second, Koporo likes to leave them in places that are surprising, so maybe someone will reach for their towel after a bath only to find a scroll. Or maybe there will be a knock, no one at the door, and a scroll waiting for them on their kitchen table when they walk back inside. And third, Koporo still writes in crayon to make up for Dylas' lack of cheer. Today's color is purple.

And that's it. His name isn't signed to the letter, and people he was involved with during the June murders won't be receiving one (wouldn't it be rude to send mail to someone you killed? awkward). Maybe some people will remember a letter written in crayon, however?]

[Guess who's awake at the worst hours working?]

Dylas -

Don't. We can't go near it, or we make it grow faster. I don't know how fast that means, though. But it sounds like a bad idea either way.

[sullenstallion]

That's stupid.

How is anyone supposed to fight it if we can't see it? I'll just look at it from an airship or something if I have to.

-Dylas

[has_been_faking]

That's probably your best bet. Some Heroes have a Job that gives them a personal air ship, so ask around. And I think in fighting it, we don't do it physically, but magically. Or anything else at a distance.

- Ed

[sullenstallion]

Do you want to come with me? I wouldn't mind having someone else around. I've never left the city.

-Dylas

[has_been_faking]

Sure, I could use to get some fresh air, I've been in the lab for awhile again. Let me know when you want to go.

-Ed

[How old is this person, 5? Actually, the only child Hero Ales recalls is in crystal stasis, so that leaves idiots who think crayon writing is easy on the eyes. No need to be polite or ignore the letter.

...He doesn't recall the letter in crayon. That was too long and ugly, so it was ignored.]

Do you have a death wish? The Calamity is attracted to us Heroes. You'll be eaten up over there.

Unless you have a white crystal. I don't know how that happened, ask one of the other Heroes.

-Ales

[sullenstallion]

[Ignoring the death wish comment. It's the little guy. He has successfully avoided Ales since the visit to Ryslig.]

There has to be somewhere where we can see it if it's so prevalent.

I'm not looking to walk right up to it and shake its hand.

-Dylas

[umslay]

Dylas:

I'm sure if you go high enough, you can catch glimpses of the crystallization. But overall it's dangerous and stupid to be near it for too long. We've affect the growth rate before just by merely existing by it.

-Ales

P.S. What's with the crayon? Are other writing utensils that difficult to use wit your claws? It doesn't suit you at all.

[sullenstallion]

[And the crayon stops.]

I didn't realize it was being rewritten in crayon before it was being sent off. My Kupo is an idiot.

[Someone's Moogle is being punished! And Koporo will be delivering the rest of his letters without crazy parkour thanks to Ales outing him, good work.]

It's stupid to keep talking about it without knowing what it looks like. For all I know, everyone could be lying about its existence. I don't think that's true, but I'm still going to see it.

[umslay]

[Ales has no regrets. He saved Dylas from unjust harm to his dignity, and the Moogle has been caught.]

Dylas:

There was a group of Heroes at the Heran prison that saw it activate; they could tell you. Sparks Nevada comes to mind. Or ask any of the natives that don't trigger an acceleration of the crystallization when they get near it.

-Ales

[sullenstallion]

[How friendly is Ales' Moogle in regards to Koporo's bullshit? Because Koporo might try to explain that he felt like Dylas was in a purple mood.]

It's not about being told, it's about seeing it. I'm not going to do something stupid and make the situation worse for everyone, but I still need to see it.

I need to understand what it is.

You've been here for a while. You should come, too.

-Dylas

[umslay]

[Mimi would never speak against Ales! But hugging an upset Koporo is within her abilities. "Purple mood" makes sense.]

Dylas:

Will it make any difference whether you see it or not? The Calamity still exists.

I have better things to do with my time. I'm sure there are plenty of other pilots whose existence don't trigger the oncoming apocalypse.

-Ales
