[// 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.

He'll have to tell you more himself. But I can at least answer your question and say there's a possibility it may.

[Aside from the curse making this situation much more difficult than it already is (even if it doesn't seem to exist here), there's also her worry that Clive will be dragged into a battle he's unprepared for. He's strong, yes, but not invincible.

That and haven't they all had enough of being told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it? She know she has and Jill knows Clive well enough to know he has too.]

I am asking for a lot here, and please forgive my presumption, but I'd rather be rude than allow problems to happen for him by remaining silent.

[starshower]

No, you're not being rude at all. I haven't known Yuffie for long but she doesn't strike me as the sort of person who would do it knowing what would happen. Nor would the rest of us that have them.

I don't want to hurt anyone. Better that we know than not, yeah?

[Though, there is something that has been on her mind.]

Does it by any chance have anything to do with what you told me?

[tilfrosset]

Yes and no.

[Well, that certainly clears up everything. Good talk.]

While I cannot tell you his story, I can tell you mine. But not like this, over these shellphones.

[For this, she needs something a little more personal, less cold than sterile text on a tiny screen.]

[starshower]

[Tifa is a little surprised by this turn of events, but... she isn't going to say no if it means getting a better understanding of their situation.]

Do you wanna meet somewhere? Eltrut, maybe?

[tilfrosset]

[Jill thinks that if Tifa knows the whole truth of how things are for the Dominants, then maybe, just maybe, it would really make any of these people with the ability to summon give second thought to the action.]

Yes. The Dragon's Milk, if possible.

[She could use a cup of tea to soothe the inevitable nerves.]

[starshower]

Alright. Shouldn't be too long a trip from Elah. We aren't that far off, so I'll meet you then? I'll send you another message when I get there.

[tilfrosset]

Very well then. I'll see you soon.
