[Lulu's around the campfire, but any small talk she might have made is dead on her lips. But then again, when she turns around and observes them out of the corner of her eye, so are they. Pyreflies are everywhere, and it's obvious that one of them has already become a fiend. It's only an old familiarity that warns that she chose to come her for a

Lulu? How can you say that? We're alive. We're right here!

[venussigil]

I saw the pyreflies. We're all dead.

[canniballistic]

Ah, what fireflies? I don't understand! We're still here on Eos, aren't we? Nothing's changed!

[venussigil]

[Like she's speaking to a child--or a transplant from another world--]
Not fireflies, pyreflies. The souls of the dead, and they're leaking out from all of us.

[conniving_flame]

A fiend?

And what's all this summoner business about?

[venussigil]

Monsters that are born from the unsent dead when their anger and hatred toward the living grow too large to bear.

Summoners are those who send the dead and bring about peace.

[bit_impossible]

Hmmm yeah, not dead. [pinches self] Yes, definitely not dead, thanks. You're very much alive too.

[venussigil]

[surprised]

How can that be though? Everyone is leaking pyreflies like they're turning into a fiend.

[bit_impossible]

[tunes out the voices he's hearing. he's trying so very hard to not pay them any mind.]

It can because no one's died. The only dead one is the captain in the ship.

...Tell me about these pyreflies and fiends.

[venussigil]

But we don't remember coming here, so how do we know no one has died? What if we all have?

Pyreflies are the outward manifestation of the souls of the dead. If the dead do not get the guidance that they need, then they grow envious and resentful of the living. If it goes on long enough, they become fiends and start to attack those left behind.

You seem ill at ease as well, Doctor.

[Paranoid and demanding]
What do you mean by monster? Are you arrancar?

[venussigil]

No... not yet... I don't think...

What is an arrancar?

[white_helix]

Arrancar--a powerful hollow in Aizen's army. Arrancar are vindictive and strong, they must not be allowed to win.

[venussigil]

As I have no clue who or what Aizen is, I am guessing that I am not an Arrancar.

Why? Are they here too?

[ladyxlightning]

I'm not dead!

[venussigil]

[She's extremely skeptical of this]

So I guess that means you're just crazy and dangerous?

[ladyxlightning]

That sounds about right!
