[ they are still wandering the beach, evidently enjoying the space while they stretch out their wings. their daemon peeks out from under their hood, giving yuri a squeak in greeting. ]
You'd be right, Mister Lowell. We're here to help those of you aligned with the Celestials, though we're still figuring out what our limits are.

[ what is that cut text, naru i refuse to commit at this point. ]
… I mean, I know that I know I’m part of that group, but what does that actually mean? Did we just get thrown in there randomly?

Wait, so you're all here out of your own choice? What's the deal with that? Last thing I remember was falling -- I thought I'd died.

We were asked and agreed to help. We thought it was the same for you, but they don't tell us everything. None of us expected the Dust thing, either.
[ the squirrel gives a little whine. ]
We all have our reasons for being here, though, and there must have been a reason you were chosen, too.

[ mm. okay, hold up--
(pravda's ears flick at the whining squirrel. that's rough, buddy.) ]
Dust? What's dust got to do with anything?

Dust? What's dust got to do with anything?
Well, besides going "poof" a little more than we'd like... Dust is everywhere, apparently, and in everything. But it's not like the dust that makes you sneeze. There's a whole science dedicated to studying it in some worlds.
[ the feathers of their wings shuffle under their cloak. ]
I'm not much of a scientist, though, so the best I can do is give you a general idea of what it is.

A general idea would be more than what I'm working with right now, so--
[ he waves a hand. ]
Hit me.

[ oh noooooo they were hoping he wouldn't be interested! they aren't a scientist, yuri! ]
It has something to do with the soul. [ they wave at pravda. ] Our new friends are made of Dust, and it might be shared between us and the person they're connected to. I think it has something to do with how we act, too, but I'm not sure about that. We're still learning about all this.

[ hey it’s all fine! neither is he. if rita were here, on the other hand… ]
Shamsiel mentioned they’re representative of our souls. But… they have a form because of Dust, or something along those lines? [ … ]
… So, it’s like an… energy of some kind? Like aer?

… It’s like.. an energy, I guess. I’m no blastia researcher myself, but that’s the gist of it. It’s used to power blastia, and to cast spells.
Normally you can’t see if, but if it’s strained or overused it can gets dense and can cause damage to its surroundings.

[ blastia... spells... the mask conceals their thoughts, but the headtilt from the fox besides them betrays the confusion. ]
It sounds like they could be similar. Though I'm not sure if Dust can cause any harm to anything. It seems like it's just there.

[ yuri’s daemon tilts her head back. ]
Yup. I mean, I’m no “genius mage”, but I know that aer just exists, doing its thing, unless we purposely overuse it so… the principle sounds pretty similar.
[ he glances down at pravda. ] She feels too solid to just be made from some… concept, though?

[ let's say he's over near the hotel now ]
Did it sound like a complaint?

They do, don't they? They're called "daemons," if you were wondering. I'm not sure exactly how our souls can manifest like this, or why that turned out to be a part of this whole thing, but it's nice to have a companion, isn't it? You're never really alone.
Oh I definitely have those. So, was this your masterplan or did one of the others come up with it?
[ pravda shifts into weasel form and scrabbles up yuri’s leg to perch on his shoulder. ]
… Kinda vulnerable though isn’t it? Having your soul out in the open like this.

... Yuri.
So... is there something that needs unpacking there? The need to put strangers in sexy outfits, or was it just for the laugh factor?

[ hello squirrel. ]
... [ wow he doesn't like those implications. ]
If they're representing our soul, they're connected to us... right? [ come to think of it, he's just gonna... check the part where he was stabbed, but on pravda. does she have a mark or a wound there, or did she avoid this because it happened before he came here? ]
