[To All: 18th June]

[shinrasfinest]

[For those that know of Sephiroth's penchant for sending Mognet mail directly via Spencer and not via the duplication systems in place at Mognet Central will be surprised to note that this letter will come through in the morning in the usual way. Either Sephiroth has conveniently forgotten why, or this really is a message intended for all that might read it.]

This may come as something of a late announcement, I hope that you can accept my apologies for the silence.

I recently returned from Crystal Stasis, and it seems that a vision of my future has indeed already come to pass.

But, everything will be alright. I know that now.

[ooc: Sephiroth came out of stasis on 16th June and has spent the last two days in the hospital, at his own request - to 're-adjust'. Partly at Spencer's suggestion, but mostly to give himself the time to remember...and to process. (Updated info post)

Will be followed by a open-log, tomorrow.]

My point, is that there is very little available for us to go about proving it one way or the other. Crystal physics are for the most part an unexplored science and only a handful actively study the same; Jessie being the head of said group here in Aqures, and she is only one Tarutaru.

I suppose that would depend on how elemental physics correlate when compared to our Planet, or any other for that matter.

There are books by the thousand in one library or another but as you no doubt appreciate, we don't have lifetimes to dedicate to studying.

I've yet to really make the acquaintance of her or any of those I've been told are our 'handlers' so to speak.

One last question. I'm well aware ammunition is difficult to come by. You have been here longer, what would you recommend? (Besides learning another weapon, which I'm disinclined to do at this moment in time.)

'Handlers' wouldn't be the right word. They are, for all intents and purposes, benefactors to the Kingdom of Aqures Ixen in the absence of the Queen who left instructions for them to help us where needed. She prophesied our return to this World.

There was a period where there wasn't a lot of trust harbored between the Heroes and those three, but I should hope that such petty argument would be put to one side now that the greater threat is revealed to us.

For a firearm? I can't say that I'm well-versed in how the Gunner Job operates other than I know some magics can be used to benefit the same. I would certainly suggest that you ask around, there are a handful of good weapon smiths in the City.

Though I will say, you might find that if it's a firearm from home it might need some adjustment made for it to house the ammunition here; or you could purchase a new one.

Finally, no matter your level of skill before, don't be alarmed to find it greatly reduced. Take it from my experience, it will take some adjustment.

I arrived a freelancer. I am currently holding Gunner and Red Mage. Ophelia (and Mooshoo, given I am housemates with Yuffie and her moogle) were thorough in explaining the system here. I do indeed have a firearm from home, and have met one smith already. They were a little too eager to inspect both it and my gauntlet though.

I am aware there will be adjustment, and it is frustrating. If you do hear anything or find a good resource, I would appreciate knowing. Thank you.
