Remind me to go find them for a proper talk, then, if they do not make their way here.
[Old to old communication.]
That could explain our source for all the troubles recently, then, but... mmm. The instabilities were happening even before all of you vanished, weren't they?
Were you aware of what was happening to you? We found you in a state that looked like you were trying to take action, but broken apart in the midst of it...

[Nodding.]
Things started getting strange shortly after, I assume, the trap was sprung and like I said, the twins had already foresaw what was going to happen.
[He looks over to the mech, frowning a bit.]
But none of us are the type to just give in and wait for fate to come to us, even if there was nothing we could have done to stop it. We couldn't just give up, but in the end...
[He shakes his head, turning his gaze back to Solomon.]
So I'm very thankful you were able to save all of the wizards. It truly means a lot to me, and I'm sorry you had to shoulder such a responsibility on no notice.

[With a subtle but not completely hidden flick of his finger, any accompanying noise hidden under the crowd and hubbub—
Victor Byron is now a shrimp. Like, one of the ones that can survive out of water for a while? But anyway he doesn’t have a mouth and that’s what matters.]
Maaan, where did that guy go? I don’t know where this shrimp came from, but it kind of looks pathetic like him.
[Cid picks it up by the tail. He could just let it get stepped on but why not enjoy the peace.]
Nice to finally get some peace and quiet, though.

[hey so how does ithaqua feel about stories of fratricide--]
[ ...do they really want to meet more Northern wizards, though? Do they? Well, maybe. Bruno would also like to meet them. ]

[ Oh, Day's paying attention to this, since he talked about this with Robin back after North mission happened. ...Never wrong, eh. ]

[ Bruno gives a startled scream, hello? He's still right by this guy and now he's a shrimp and Cid is picking him up-- ]
Cid! You can't just turn someone into a shrimp!

Yeah, and Lazuli showed up even earlier than he did. Though he wasn't going by Lazuli yet...? So we knew it was coming for quite a while.
[he wasn't aware they were having a competition?! he's not prepared for this...!!]
You put together a failsafe, then.
[So no knowledge on the cause... perhaps that's better left to Snow and White.
Still, at the apology and statement of gratitude, Solomon holds up a hand to stop Akira, before tipping his head and lowering into a bow.]
I won't speak for the rest. But do not apologize to me.
I'm more concerned with making sure this doesn't repeat in the future. While we were able to make things work temporarily, I fear what might have happened to the people if we'd been unsuccessful. If there's nothing to be done for it... then I'm just content that we've brought you home.

[Bruno please we just got done with Victor’s shrieking.]
It’s not like it’d be that hard to unshrimpify him. This thing that may-or-may-not be the mech guy, I mean.
[The most lazy refusal to confirm or deny culpability. This is nominally Schrodinger’s shrimp now, but it’s not like there’s anything else living in the vicinity.
The guy should just be glad he’s not an inanimate object. ☆]

[Ah... home, huh? A bittersweet smile crosses Akira's face at the mention of home—because at the end of the day, this isn't his home. He's as much of a stranger here as Solomon is...
But he cares deeply for the wizards he's connected with as the Sage, so he can push aside how thinking of his home can still be painful at times.]
There's a lot in this world we don't know yet, whether it be why the Calamity is the way that it is or how something like this could have happened but... we're all doing what we can to make things right and see how we can keep this from happening again.

[He shrugs, a bit helplessly.]
It was more than likely an oddity of the Calamity, but I'm not much of an expert on magic.

...Cid, you aren't fooling anyone. [ HE KNOWS, CID. ] We... c'mon, guys, we aren't really okay with this, are we?
[ Looking at the other wizards? With his big ol' sad old man eyes? Hello? ]

Mm. The notes in the library show that much well enough. [His smile is apologetic.] I'm sorry. To be away from Earth for long... it's never easy.
That aside, I mean more the instability itself, Akira-kun. We've brought you home, but is this world going to right itself? Are our homes still caught?
That is what I'd like to look into. As for some of the others... well, it sounds as though there's been a spell in the works, to try and send some of our number home.
So long as its safe, would you and your wizards still be willing to help?

I kinda wonder if they just fixed stuff up whenever they broke something...
Ooh. I think that’ll fit.
[For now he drops the shrimp in it before the tail accidentally separates or something, that would be awkward and annoying (though probably not impossible) to fix.
They should probably also get water at some point but who knows if the fountain is intact?? As that is also the shrimp’s fault, perhaps that is shrimply karma working its magic.]
