[Written in neat handwriting, anyone is free to receive this message.]
Greetings fellow dreamwalkers,
My name is G'raha Tia and I have recently arrived here. [In a dream world? Close enough.] Having spent some time learning the lay of the land and what Reverein has to offer, I have noticed the lack of aetherytes in the area. I am well aware that this is not at all the same world that I am familiar with, but I would like to provide my assistance in making life here a little bit easier if it is possible.
Where I come from, we have crystals that act as a means for teleportation and faster travel.
[They also take more aether than most can afford to use actively, but that wasn't important here. Taking a moment to try to imprint what they generally look like, this image will pop up for people to reference from.]
Normally in order to use these, you need to attune to them with your aether, though I doubt the same will work here. Once attuned to them, you'll be able to use them as a means to travel around the town.
I confess that I am not used to having downtime, so it is my proposition that I can spend my newly found free time to aid any other people who come here as well. I have recently found out that my dreamotion is crystal based and though I have not experimented enough with it just yet, I believe I may be able to recreate these aetherytes. There will be some trial and error and I cannot say how long it will take, but in order for these to work properly here, I imagine I will have to experiment with using dreamotion as a substitute for aether.
[And this has gotten a lot more technical than he had intended so...]
That said... I wanted to ask for any information people may have that may assist me in my research to make this a reality soon enough. I do not know enough about Reverein just yet to make any large strides presently.
Thank you for your time.
[OOC: G'raha is from the end of Shadowbringers, so there will be spoilers more than likely in comments and possibly icons. Please see my opt-out post if you are currently going through the story and would prefer not to be spoiled. This will allow me to know just how much I can share. Please and thank you!]

I'll give you points for stubbornness at least. Tell you what. If I can figure out how to teleport myself, then I'll let you know.
no subject
[That didn't answer Vanitas's question, G'raha.]
I will count such strides as important information nonetheless when that time comes. Do you mind explaining how you would normally teleport?
[If he could get an idea for how others can do it, then that would give him more to work with.]
no subject
[ Of course Vanitas knows... A lot about Eorzea itself. Oops? That's what he gets for living with an Ishgardian, Ascian, and Miqo'te. ]
That's still a simple way of putting it without using your own world's unique terminology. Then again, what should I expect?
As for me? I can open up the pathways between worlds or locations within the same world. Not a true means of teleportation, but close enough. It is instantaneous.
no subject
My apologies for any assumptions, but it sounds as if you speak from experience.
[Between the mention of cat features and 'Then again, what should I expect?', he had to say something. He's certain the term 'Miqo'te' would not necessarily translate to cat person without context, after all.]
How do you open these pathways?
no subject
[ But given the fact that the name on Vani's end isn't recognizable? He doubts that this guy has any experience with him. ]
They are pathways forged out of Darkness itself. So a person with a heart - or soul - would need to have a particularly strong alignment to Darkness itself form a door.
[ But for Vanitas who is a being of pure Darkness - it's 2nd nature much like it is for Unversed, Heartless, and Nobodies. ]
I almost responded on Alphinaud's journal instead. Whoops.
I seem to be missing something here. For that I am sorry.
[Was that genuine enough when it was through a journal? Maybe? It was hard to say.]
Forged from Darkness...
[It seemed familiar to how Ascians got around. The comment about the soul could have just been thrown in there as a random statement, but he's assuming it's anything but random.]
And the origin of such Darkness?
[Hinting more towards a world in between, but he only has his own experiences for reference here.]
no subject
[ He should have expected that. Mr. Crystal Meddler is the sort of guy that will address it and probably feel guilty. And it's not like Vanitas really wants duty or obligation. So there's that too.
And he's right. The mention of the soul isn't random. Vanitas has figured they are more or less the same thing. Just different terminology. But yeah it's pretty much how Ascians get around. Vanitas hadn't wanted to come out and say that. ]
The Darkness that has always existed. Where there is Light, there will always be Darkness. They are two sides to the same coin.
no subject
It did him no good to continuously apologize for what he could not avoid. No matter how guilty he felt, the point has been made so he will instead opt to move on.]
You are not wrong about that. I for one have seen what has come to pass when the state of the star has been thrown off balance. [Granted that was partially the Ascians to blame] No world may exist without the presence of both light and dark.
no subject
[ So yes. He knows exactly what G'raha is referring to. In detail! ]
Anyway. I can't do it now and I should be able to. My guess would be to tie different aetherytes to different emotions. One for "joy" and another for "safety" or whatever. Then to "attune" all one has to really do is tap into that emotion.
Just a suggestion.
no subject
If Vanitas knew about that side of him and what had transgressed though, there wasn't much point in acting like it hadn't happened. He wasn't going to feel the need to change his point of view on the matter, but could perhaps speak more honestly around someone who apparently knew that side of him already.
But that was for another time. There was no point in bringing it up if there was no need to.]
Different emotions... Yes, I suppose that would be possible, but I do have some concerns with that. Much like if someone were to use an aetheryte and the destination were to be destroyed at that point of time -- however unlikely -- there is a high risk that the person traveling through will be stuck in the aetherical plane. What if focusing on an emotion causes a similar problem for how fickle emotions can be?
[But it's a fascinating idea nonetheless and definitely worth keeping in consideration. He hasn't dismissed the suggestion just yet.]
no subject
I'd think that instead of reaching the destination for "joy" one would end up at "sadness." Or whatever some person is feeling.
I happen to be a specialist when it comes to emotions. That's all.
no subject
The other problem lies within the aetherical plane once more. Though there is no such thing here, this is unknown ground and there's no saying if a change of emotions will cause similar problems. I, of course, intend to test out all possibilities myself before I will allow anyone else to try a possibly risky experiment. These are all things that will simply have to be fine-tuned before they could be available for general use.
[Which was a long way of saying: There are too many variables right now and anything is possible yet. Any number of problems could come from anything he intends to build off of.]
no subject
That's sure a lot of text for something that can be said succinctly.

no subject
You really are just looking to make yourself useful in any cpacity that you can, huh?
no subject
If I can help make a difference here, then I will do my best to help out. I never did well with nothing to do.
[He's always had something to do to keep him busy. If it wasn't doing things for the Students of Baldesion, it was looking into his own research and party. And when that led his fate to the Crystal Tower, it led to founding a city. Having nothing to do now was much more strange to him, so he was glad to have something to throw himself into; especially when it would be beneficial to everyone here if it worked.]

Who says I won't allow some time to recover? [Yeah... about that...] I assure you there's no need to worry about me.
[That's probably not it anyway.]
no subject
[ SO THERE ]
Not that I care or anything like that.
no subject
[It sure sounds like you care.]

no subject
It'll likely take a while to get any meaningful progress due to the lack of information currently. Though I could hardly say that has slipped my mind.
