ITT: We are our avatars.

~bows~ Lady Yuyuko! I am so glad to meet you again.

...wait... She's a little different than the Yuyuko I know. She must be that other Youmu's Yuyuko. I don't think she'll recognize you... unless she met another you, maybe? Well, she's still Lady Yuyuko, regardless.

Milady, I'm glad you're here.

Yuyuko: "Apparently, Yukari needs me to do something, and it involves you somehow. I'm just glad she knew where- Wait, who's this? (gestures to Alt.Youmu)"

Yuyuko is near the center of the image. You can't quite see everyone clearly, I know, but one other thing you should note is that Mario Is Missing. He never really did anything anyway. I'll update my userpage with the un-scaled image once I figure out how to do that. Or someone tells me.

Well, if you don't remember me, Lady Yuyuko, I understand; there is much crossing of the streams of time and place going on here. I am still glad to meet you.

I, too, am Youmu Konpaku, milady.

lol, crossing the streams.

Yuyuko: "Well, I knew that. Just-"

Spiritia: "-ahem-"

Yuyuko: "Oh, right. That. (Sits down, takes out apple, begins eating)"

(to Yuyuko) You wouldn't happen to have any other apples, would you?

Yes ;) and potentially just as dangerous, with the power of some of the characters we're playing with here ...

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean, milady.

Awe Striker, isn't Spiritia from that one Rosenkrautwhatever game? Morven:lolyes.

Spiritia: "Ich heisse Spiritia Rosenberg."

Grolla whispers in Spiritia's ear.

Spiritia: "Oh. Halten Sie auf einen Moment an..."

(a moment later)

Spiritia: "Is it working?"

...this is all very confusing.

I think something — magical, perhaps — happened so that Spiritia could communicate with us.

I learned the language of the Merikit from the Earth Wife in a similar way, so I know you can do that.

Hello, Spiritia!

I really do hope there isn't another of me.

One of me in any world at any given time is enough.

Spiritia: "Oh, good. That's the first time I've tried that. Yukari taught me how to do that after that mishap involving the Dark Magi. Anyway, as... er... whoever you are inferred, I am Spiritia Rosenberg. With me I have Grolla Seyfarth and Freudia Neuwahl."

I see, Lady Jame. I suppose it's no stranger than the other things which have been happening to me lately.

Hello, Spiritia, Grolla, Freudia. Unusual names.

I'm Jame — Jame of the Kencyrath. Lordan of house Knorth. Officially a boy so many places it's funny, but I swear I'm not. A boy, that is.

Pleased to meet all three of you — are you from the same culture? Your names have some similarity to each other.

Freudia: "More than that, Jame. Grolla, Tia and I are members of the same organization: Rosenkreuzstilette, the Blades of the Rose Cross."

Spiritia: "Youmu, was it? If you think our names are weird, you should meet Schwer sometime. Everyone calls her that, partly because her full name Schwer-Muta Casasola Merkle is a bit unwieldy."

edited 10th Feb '10 8:48:11 PM by AweStriker

And — what kind of organization is that? It sounds martial, as if you were a grouping of warriors for some cause.

Rosen... kroy... oh my. I apologize. What sort of organization is this, uh, Blades? Are you fighters?

Spiritia: "R.K.S. was devised by the Holy Empire and Orthodox Church after a holy war to stop the persecution of Magi such as myself. Essentially, we're an all-mage division of the military."

Freudia: "Despite the name, only Grolla and Sichte use any sort of blade. Schirach used to use a hammer, but we don't know what's become of her."

Hmm. Orthodox Church? Sounds like Western religion. And fighters and mages? I'm afraid I'm not much of a magician. My spellcards all run off spiritual power, not learned spells. And I'd much rather use my blades, in any case. Of course, spellcards are nonfatal. It would not be honorable of me to kill someone when they could simply be incapacitated instead, if they're only being mischievous, as youkai often are.

It sounds like a religion rather alien to mine, that's for certain. I've learned that 'mage' means what my people would call the Shanir among our own, those with abilities and powers and differences?

And you're more a metaphorical blade than literal blade-wielders, then?

Spiritia: "To be honest, we've been away from where we came from for so long, we've forgotten all but the Church's existence."

I'm going to go practice my attacks some more, and then find a reasonably safe place to rest. *nods*

Heading to bed in a few so leaving the thread for now.

Ah. Apart from protecting the Magi, what are your other goals?

Grolla: "You weren't quite paying attention there. We are the Magi."
