001 🔖 Crystal Broadcast ~ The Gullwings Reborn

[whereishe]

[The voice that calls through the crystal is happy and energetic and... maybe a little too loud at first. These aren't like Shinra's commsphere's and she's still getting used to it.]

Yuna here!

I wanted to introduce myself but I also wanted to announce the formation of "Your friendly neighborhood gullwings!"

We're here for any odd jobs you have. We'll be protecting the city and exploring beyond the walls. I hope to bring back information and learn a little bit about this place and maybe why we were brought here. Anyone is welcome to join the Gullwings or these adventures. It might be dangerous so make sure you have a way to protect yourself if you want to go out there with me.

If I find anything I thought I'd bring it to the Hysterium? Is that what it's called? [Her voice gets softer and it doesn't sound like she's talking to the crystal.

After a pause, her voice gets louder again.]

Anyway. I'm really excited to meet you all. I can't wait to meet you.

Comments

[asthecroweflies]

We can all hear you, love.

[That being said...]

I plan on learning about this place myself, but I'm not much of a fighter. Is there any room in the Gullwings for a Private Investigator?

[whereishe]

Yeah... I guess that was a bit loud, wasn't it?

[She thinks about it, nods and then remembers that this isn't the comm-sphere network and he can't see her.]

Oh! Yes. I think that would be perfect. We need to collect information inside the city as well as outside of it and there is an impressive library here. We might find answers about ruins or magics there.

It'll take everyone and all sorts. You don't need to fight.

There was a real wizkid in the group before I arrived here. His name was ShinRa, he stayed on the ship a studied the sphere's we found. We also tried out his inventions.

[asthecroweflies]

Just a bit, but it's fine.

[He chuckles.]

Well, I'm no inventor, but I know my way around puzzles. [And I have nothing better to do.] So why not?

[whereishe]

Good!

[He can likely hear the smile in her voice.]

Then you can be the first official new member of this city's Gullwings!

[asthecroweflies]

Super! [He sounds so thrilled.] Do we get badges?

[whereishe]

[Yuna giggles.]

If you want to make them.

[asthecroweflies]

I'm not really the crafty type. They'd be more like participation ribbons.

[whereishe]

What would participation ribbons look like?

[Those kinds of things don't exist in Spira.]

[asthecroweflies]

It'd be better if I sketched it for you, but I was serious.

[whereishe]

I would like to see it.

Maybe there is someone here who can make it. There are all sorts of strange shops, you know?

[asthecroweflies]

[There's a pause while he blinks.]

You're serious, aren't you?

[whereishe]

Of course! We'll need a symbol for the Gullwings after all.

I am going to put you in charge of it! There just has to be a Gullwing on it.

[asthecroweflies]

Aside from your organization, love, I have no idea what a "Gullwing" is. Do you mean the cars with the vertical doors?

[whereishe]

It's a type of bird that flies near the coast.

It's white with blue tips to the wings.

[asthecroweflies]

...seagulls. Wait, our emblem is a seagull? They're nasty little buggers who steal your bread and squawk obnoxiously.

[whereishe]

I don't know what seagulls are but Gullwings do squawk.

If you follow them at sea you'll always find land.

[asthecroweflies]

Probably just the same thing, only a different name. Good to know all worlds have the buggers.

[whereishe]

Yeah?

It's a comfort to know that our worlds aren't so different from each other.

[asthecroweflies]

Comforting and a bit weird, yeah.

[whereishe]

I am okay with this sort of weird.

[asthecroweflies]

Well, it's certainly easier to explain things, that's true.

[whereishe]

Yeah! We'll figure things out if we compare our homes too or maybe we can write a dictionary for things...

What do you like? Like writing out what a Gullwing was somewhere or other details about our worlds, just as they come up...

[asthecroweflies]

Do you mean an Encyclopedia? Who do you think's going to manage all this?

...I can handle that, yeah.

[whereishe]

Good! It's up to you then.

I have some more details to work out but I'll let you know when I take the next step.

[asthecroweflies]

Right.

[How did he get roped into this again?]

I think you can get us started by letting me know what you can do, uh, magic wise I guess. It'll help distributing work.
