Fleo gave a brief smile to Trinity as thanks for her reassurance, but felt little solace in truth.  She remained focused on the games, thankful that Elizabeth’s strange interest in her appeared to have abated.  Thinking about her condition was never healthy for her.  The dusty woman always felt the most self-sure and free when immersed in the moment, with the worries and events of the past tucked so far back into her consciousness that they might as well not be real.  Even though they brought her back down to earth, eschewing for a little while her somewhat childlike joviality, reminders of her past and of herself could only ever be grim.

When Gabriel approached, Sanders did not seem to be focused on the game.  Instead, Frenzy Plant’s general appeared to be writing in some sort of pocketbook, employing an ungainly and practically illegible script that could have just as well been code.  He continued for a moment after the private started speaking, but quickly wrapped up his sentence, clapped the book shut, and tucked it away.  With that done he listened, his stolid face like chiseled stone.  [color=8F9779]”Were you watching the wizards of Iron Enigma, Tough Love, and Pirate Lord?  There’s a magic field beneath the platform that slows down whatever falls in.  Even if the platform were to plummet from the sky, nobody –particularly these very capable magicians- would be in danger.  

“You must know more about lacrima than I; I had not known that lacrima could be filled with power, being crystals made from it, or that people who do not specialize in Lacrima Magic could manipulate them.  I’ve always seen that lacrimas react violently to incompatible magic.”[/color]  He glanced at the floating platform.  [color=8F9779]”It seems bizarre that the managers of such an important event would make such a rudimentary technical oversight.  If you think that good can be done, however, request any two of my soldiers to go with you and see if they can help.  Tell them that it would be a favor to both you and their general.”[/color]  Sanders, though hesitant to believe that anyone was in real danger, conceded to assist with Gabriel’s idea.

Crossing his arms, Nero considered Trinity’s request.  [color=d8bfd8]”Souls?”[/color] he ultimately asked.  [color=d8bfd8]”What souls?  D’you mean personalities?  If that’s the case, I can probably help.  My new Law makes changing personality easy.  It’d be fun to see if I can remove a whole one from someone.  Imagine the possibilities!  So Karn’s gone schizo, or what?”[/color]  The dark mage cast his mind back to the other Laws of Manifestation he had performed.  Recently, he’d successfully manifested and stolen Eve’s entire depression, keeping her from going insane or breaking down.  If such a fundamental part of a person’s mindset could be taken in this way, surely a split personality could be solidified as well.

A somber voice and an odd appearance distracted him from his musings.  Immediately after turning his attention to Ariel, he developed a quizzical look.  While no true ability to sense magic resided in him, he took a semblance of pride in his intuition when it came to sorcery, but this plant girl struck him as a raging mess—and a potential customer.  Nero could not say that he liked her rather condescending tone, but he could never pass up an opportunity.  He elected to advertise himself more subtly rather than to throw out a pitch, though, and after a moment’s thought greeted, [color=d8bfd8]”Hello, miss!  I’m not sure what you mean about ‘two Karns’, but if it’s either personality or magic related, I’m a miracle worker.  Do not underestimate my ability to cure what ails ya!”[/color]  Ariel found herself confronted with a dazzling smile.
