RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Desu Nee - 05-08-2015
She crosses her arms, frowning a bit. Of course, skeletons in the closet. Disturbingly common around...well, pretty much everyone she ever met since she left Ul'dah as a giless thaumaturge, to whom she is today. She flexes her hand absently minded, clearly unsatisfied with the answer. But she won't press further no...she's interested in Franz. The tall, totally-a-highlander caught her curiosity ever since their first met, she can remember just like it was yesterday...
It was a week ago, she's just one obsessive Lala.
She sits down, easening her expression. Testing of waters, highly unsucessful, very blatant vague answer given. She gives too much for too little...
" The little test about Aetherical Gravity failed. Can't be it. "
She would let this slide for now, but she wouldn't forget...no. There's a special place in the seven hells to anyone that's vague with Ququki Quki.

"Howso? It seemed rather plausible, hadn't it?"
He was perhaps, feeling slightly guilty about giving such a vague answer. But he knew better than to openly admit so many of the things he had been. At least, he hoped he did.
She'd likely find out eventually. Maybe there would be less issues letting her find out about who he was instead of the deluge of information that would lead a person away.
"So why wouldn't a gravity spell work?"
RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Desu Nee - 05-09-2015
" The numbers are way too big. Only a place like Mor Dhona could keep this through sheer aetherical force. Also, it doesn't explain why the islands doesn't float higher and higher, like an Iceberg on the sea "
She shrugs, giving him the scrolls
" You can check it if you want. Maybe there's something I'm not seeing."
RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Unnamed Mercenary - 05-09-2015
"Are you able to make any readings on the aetherial force of the crystals?"
A simple enough question. "While I can pass as a decent arcanist, my abilities to read or sense aether is nearly nonexistent." He wasn't lying, at least. No pure-blooded Garlean could make use of aether. Wasn't he enough of an abomination?
He opened the scrolls, laying them out to look at each of the calculations.
"No...these, the math checks out. A simple gravity spell should not be enough to sustain the landmasses. If we can assume that they've managed to find some sort of equilibrium, that would at least explain why they do not float any higher, but manage to stay relatively in place."
He scribbled a few notes into his own book.
"For now, I can only assume there is a stronger spell at work. The crystals attached to each island. They appear to shift from one aspect to another. It's possible that they could be the key to this, but it may be something beyond my understanding. The Nymians were noted to be quite advanced in their skills. Quite a few books discuss how a single scholar could provide support for an entire troop of fighters."
"There could be more to it than what we see."
RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Desu Nee - 05-09-2015
" I think the answer lies inside, mayhaps? "
She points to the floating islands, thoughtful
" I think we need an inside reading of those to be sure. I've got some friends who can borrow us Aether Readers, maybe we can crack the issue at hand..."
RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Unnamed Mercenary - 05-09-2015
"It would certainly be an interesting endeavor."
It was enjoyable to let go of the other matters he should have deemed important. His problems could wait. It was simply two people interested in some floating rocks and how the rocks managed to float. Just simple science. And I suppose magic, as well. Something needs to explain why these things are in the air, and it's surely not magitek.
"When should we begin?"
RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Desu Nee - 05-10-2015
" Maybe tomorrow. I need to borrow some equipment from the University of Aether, more specifically those Aether Readers. Never mind the potential of nasty...things being inside, of course. "
She smirks at the thought, giggling
" Tomorrow by morning seems good to you? "

The corners of his mouth rose into a little grin.
"I'll be sure to bring my axe then. Just in case."
The prospect of actually examining some ruins was very interesting. He was aware of the few expeditions of a person he had met in passing. Being able to see some of the Nymian structures up close was going to make for good time. He briefly wondered aloud some what-ifs.
"Perhaps we'll find some older relics while we're at it. ...will you want any additional backup? I may know a few people who could be interested in the expedition."

"Yes, it would be very appreciated."
She gives a loud whistle, her chocobo already dashing towards her master
" I should be pulling my strings now. Want to choose a place to meet? "
RE: Overlooking Ruins [Closed] - Unnamed Mercenary - 05-16-2015
"How about at Camp Bronze Lake? Plenty of ruins around it and enough adventurers for anything stupid to happen."
He chuckled to himself. "Maybe I'll take a nap in the hot springs first".
As the lalafell mounted her chocobo, he game a small wave and smile. It was nice to see people happy. And if he could pass off as a researcher, maybe he could put his past behind him for the time being. Nobody needed a middle-aged mercenary when there were plenty of reckless adventurers to do their bidding.
