[// PUBLIC PORTION //]
A curious question to my fellow riftfarers — to those who are capable of "summoning" or calling upon powerful beings or even people, how does it work in your world? Any particular requirements? Contracts?

And have you any luck doing so while here? Any changes you've discovered?

[This is a general broadcast type post, so anyone can threadhop if they'd like to swap stories or anything! Cid will be reading everything...with very keen interest.]

[// PRIVATE TO FFXVI CAST //]

In case you're wondering what this is about, while on that ghost ship a girl somehow managed to summon me from a rock she had—materia she called it. She also knew about Ramuh and some of the other Eikons from our world.

Given there was no warning and that she might not be the only one, thought I should give everyone a heads up. For now I'll be trying some tests with her to see how it works and will share the results.

[ did she just get called a child? Hello? Rude. ]

I'm 16, and already graduated from university so I'm basically an adult!

But that's got nothin' to do with you turning words sideways about my dad, so knock it off and we'll get along okay. Ey?

[He frowned. If 20 years was 'old' and 16 was 'basically an adult', at what age were mortals considered adult? 17? That would mean only 3 years between childhood and the onset of being elderly. How did they get anything done without attempting to reach immortality?]

You are a child.

[He dismissed the objection with a wave of a hand.]

This venerable one has turned nothing sideways, least of all words.

[ you're thinking about this way too hard... ]

I'm not a child! I make my own decisions and everything!

[ Wow!! But putting aside him COMPLETELY misunderstanding the gibberish coming out of her mouth: ]

this what one? Huh?

[yuezun]

Children often make their own decisions. That does not make you any less a child.

[He continues to be dismissive of her arguments that she is close enough to an adult to count. But he's also confused and annoyed at the gibberish question she just asked. He would blame the translation magic, but she had already proven to be strange with her words.]

Speak properly.

[ Rude!!! ]

Kids don't go an' build their own ship engines do they? Just cause I'm young doesn't make me a child!

[ She's kind of reacting like one, honestly. She huffs, poking the camera screen again. ]

I'm speaking plenty proper too, not my fault you can't understand someone when they speak clearly! Maybe you should get a hearing aid, you'd be able to hear me then!

What's with the way you're talking about yourself huh? Sounds kinda pompous to me!

[he has no idea what an engine is]

Being a child does not discount you from accomplishments that are usually the realm of adults. This venerable one was still a child when he became Moon Supreme and ruler of Cangyanhai.

[while he remains dismissive of her arguments against being called a child, he doesn't actually sound like he's mocking her over it.]

This venerable one hears you as well as the translation magic allows. If this venerable one has difficulty understanding, than you are simply speaking in a manner so terrible even it cannot correct for.

[now he's mocking her.

The accusation of being pompous, however, is one he has heard before. His lips quirk up into an amused smirk and he ignores the question.]
