[ It's your friendly neighborhood drow, hanging out somewhere in the jungle. He's idly tossing a dagger into the air, then catching it, then tossing, and so on. ]

Good evening, my friends.

[ He hasn't met nearly so many of Riverview's population as he'd like, but he's comfortable speaking warmly, casually, as though they've all known each other for years. He leans against a tall, mossy tree, eyes on the dagger as it glints in the low sun's light. ]

I happened to be doing a little light exploring, a little minor surveying ... and I came across something interesting. Ruins of some sort, absolutely emanating with mysterious power. I couldn't quite map the shape of the place, unfortunately--as soon as I began drawing near, the jungle came even more alive than usual. Even the lovely birds were angry with me.

[ He catches the dagger for the final time, then slides it into some unknown recess of his jacket. ]

Now, I am of humble merchant stock, but I can defend myself, if I must. I progressed as far as I dared, but something began to feel wrong. I heard voices--strange, incomprehensible chanting. I felt dizzy, woozy. I took the wise path and retreated.

[ He shakes his head. ]

But, before I escaped, I saw a few artifacts scattered through the underbrush, marking a haphazard trail into the ruins. I dared not take one, but they were all inscribed with a certain symbol.

[ He steps aside from the tree he's been leaning against. This symbol is carved into the bark. ]

Not sure what it means, but I have an uneasy feeling just looking at it.

[ He seems thoughtful for a second, then shakes his head. Brightens up. ]

Anyway! I would very much like to get to the bottom of this, but, as mentioned, I'm merely a merchant. My meager skill is not enough to overcome those ruins alone. Any help would therefore be appreciated.

And--one more thing. If you see this symbol anywhere in town, I'd turn around and walk away.

I am quite sure that I'm looking forward to it regardless.

[ X'rhun didn't know there were elezen here, but that's beside the point. ]

I would offer my blade and my skills if you still have need of them.

But answer me this: You seem to suspect the symbol is the cause of the strange phenomena you encountered in the ruins, and not the artifacts themselves, but why would it be present in the town?

It'd be more troubling if you got possessed by some creepy magic cult.

[Like! Just saying!]

That doesn't, uh, I can't think of anything we've run into like that but there's nothing a little magic can't fix.

[She laughs quietly.]

I am no practitioner of the Art. But healing spells, I do have.

I am called Fall-From-Grace.

I promise it's not the only thing I have to offer.

Don't leave without me.

[ED'S ALL ABOUT BORING NERD STUFF RIN, HONESTY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN YOU A VOLUNTEER. But since he seems fine doing it himself, Ed's not going to offer.]

Yeah, I think I might too.

[ Why are you such a weird dude, mister elf man... ]

Okay, well, if that's a yes, you're going to have to tell me where you want me to meet you? Like directions or something because I have no idea where you are.

You see anything spidery? Calling himself Tarantulas or something?

[Because that sounds exactly like the Noisemaze. And Tarantulas would totally hang out creepily.]

[Yuffie hums softly.]

Okay. That's a deal. You got me.

Well I'm definitely going to come. It seems strange that a symbol like that would instill that feeling in multiple people.

[ Even Shigeru shudders on his end looking at it. ]

It...reminds me of something back home, so I'd like to investigate it as well.

[All this talk of mysterious ruins and strange chanting has caught the researcher's attention and his eyes positively sparkle with interest as the video feed initializes.

He smiles, because really, this sounds like just the sort of place of his dearest friends would drag him were they in his own world.
]

Strange ruins and mysterious chanting, you say? How delightful. I wonder, though, what's a merchant doing beyond the walls alone in the first place? Isn't it a bit dangerous without an escort?

No, I mean, what do you hope to accomplish when you return there?

[Is it just curiosity about the symbol? Or is he concerned about why he began to feel ill there, and meaning to address it? Or...is there something else he intends?]

Has that symbol already been spotted around the city?

And do you have real reason to believe it might be?
