Uu-! Hi everyone..! Today Maria and Beato have a question for everyone!

[ Maria is practically as cheery as ever when she waves at the camera - except she's not alone right now, there's someone sitting there with her, and she turns to that person with a smile as if urging her to speak on.

Beato waves too, as excited about this as ~~HER TINY ONEESAN~~ Maria. ]

We thought of this some days ago, while watching the people in the tea house. You all come from very diferent places, are we wrong? I can only imagine how many wonderful stories you all have!

And so we want to hear e-verything about you and your world! [ she's just fistpumping here now, look at all this double excitement. ] Uu-, so everyone, please tell us your stories, okay? Beato and Maria re-ally want to know!

We'll be waiting! Thank you so much!

( ooc: replies will come from both Maria and Beato (

fathersbeloved) and will be a bit delayed (especially on my side, since I'm going to bed right now and will get to them tomorrow)! )

Everything? Very well, but I'll need suggestions for a starting point.

Hello Cecil! [WAVES :D]

You've already told me beautiful stories about your wife and son... I'd like to hear stories that make you happy.

Hello, Beatrice!

[He waves back.]

Perhaps I could tell you about the moment I became a paladin? That was interesting enough.

[...With some careful editing of the circumstances.]

Please do, please do!

[~~ZOMBIE ZOMBIE UNDERLINGS FALLING APART, FALLING OFF THE BRIDGE, BACK ATTACK, SPECIAL SCENES NONE IN PARTICULAR.~~]

You see, in my world exists a holy mountain called Mt. Ordeals. According to the legend, great holy powers are locked within its peak, and my world was greatly in need of them at the time. Thus, I was sent to see if I was worthy of them.

[~~Or sent to his death, most of the people there didn't really care.~~]

And were you? I'm sure you were, am I wrong? What happened?

[~~Hyadain ruined the Four Fiends forever for me orz~~]

Now, now, I had to climb it first. The Elder of the local village asked two young mages, twins, to accompany me to the summit. As the girl knew healing spells and the boy elemental ones, they were quite suited for the trip.

[~~Really? For me it was the DS 3D models.~~]

[Nods, she's eager to hear the rest.] Was it a long trip?

[~~*whistles*~~]

It was. The mountain itself was harsh and unforgiving, and it was populated with dangerous monsters. However, as we were climbing, we met another friend of mine, an old sage who also wished to obtain the mountain's power.

[~~Tsk tsk. Tempting people with youtube while they are at work.~~]

Uu-, a lot of people don't know where to start.. Maria wants to hear anything but a sad story!

Anything else? Would the story of my first time on an airship be acceptable?

Of course..! Maria thinks that sounds like a really fun story!

In that case, it would be a shame not to share it. I was not much older than you seem to be at the time, and for months everyone in Baron had only been talking of the new prototype airship Cid was building. They said that it would go higher and faster than anything else humans could create.

An airship.. So it's a little like a plane, right? Maria's been on one of those before, they're fun, uu-!

How high could it go..?

So I was told, though I've never seen one in person. Being in the sky is always pleasant is it not? I have to admit that I do not remember the exact specs of the ship, but our engineers used to boast that it would fly as high as five times Baron Castle's highest tower.

Towers are usually very high, so it must have gone re-ally high..! Uu-, Maria would've liked to be on it too, it sounds like a lot of fun!

It was. Cid came to wake me up an hour before dawn, so we watched the sun rise from the sky. At that time, we could almost see Mysidia beyond the ocean.

Mysidia..? Uu-, that's probably a country, isn't it?

That's right. The mages' country of Mysidia. Reaching it by ship takes weeks, but on that day I felt as though I could reach it in mere hours.

Mages..? So people use magic in that country, all the people..? Maria thinks that sounds like a very, very nice country, uu-! Everything is more happy with magic!

Most of them, at least. It's a magocracy, and they know much about the world's history and legends.
