[ Bolormaa is sitting by the river in Cindersap Forest today, her jPad sitting in front of her as she tries to record a professional video. There's a soft yellow fox with multiple tails stretching on her, sometimes twitching. There's also a doll by her side - the only one she'd brought with her. But it's petting the fox - the Carbuncle! ]

Hello! And, um, if we have not met before, well met. My name is Bolormaa Sagahl, and I wish to open up a library here. One which holds books and stories from all of us - to not be forgotten...

But that is not what I wish to talk about today. I have been studying the art of crafting Carbuncle - ah, a magicked creature from my land. I have also been looking into making mechanical helpers known as mammets... and I think I've found a solution for each of my issues.

Using, um, special shards of crystal, I can activate mammets. And then, they power the Carbuncle within... though they are not as cute and cuddly as mine, this allows Carbuncle to be kept and used by those who do not have an innate way to manipulate their aether. I do not know if they can battle, however - I hope not to need to find out...

[ The special shards of crystal? Flakes from her scales, but Bolormaa won't admit that right now. That she's been experimenting with fragments of Hydaelyn. ]

The goods needed to craft them, other then their core, can be... um, found around. If any of you desire a mammet, please get in contact with me - payment shall change depending on what exactly you desire crafted. Or if you simply wish to talk!

[ Bolormaa reaches over to end the video, before a thought crosses her mind - and she tries to look serious again. ]

...Ah. Before I forget - if there are any who are familiar with a conflict between Lady Cosmos and Chaos - or simply the repeating time known as Cycles - I would like to be in contact with you. I would also wish to speak with any Eorzeans I have not - or any who may be familiar with the term Moogle, Chocobo, or the such...

Thank you.

[ And that's the end! For those seeking her in-person, she's remaining by the river for quite a while - writing and petting her Carbuncle. ]

[All the stuff Bolormaa is talking about sounds vaguely, comically familiar. Her canon is full of stupid references to anime and video games like that. But Angel knows by now that it's just something that... depends on who you were talking to. Still, she's curious about the mammets (because wow, adorable??) and also...]

I think a library is a great idea. There doesn't seem to be any kind of digital database anywhere, so it'll be a good start. Maybe people could donate information about their own worlds and dimensions and stuff.

[But again, like Bolormaa said, that's not the point of her message.]

But anyway... are you saying that with the mammets anyone could use magic?

[ She loves talking about her library, though! ]

That is one payment I'm considering for my craft - though speaking of home may come easily to some, it is still a lot to write down.

[ Ahem. She's got such a smile, dragon-esque tail wagging. ]

It may not gift you the ability of magic... but it will gift you an assistant. And perhaps it shall let you tap into that power, in time-- I'm sorry, I'm still learning about these abilities, myself.

[ Bolormaa is a baby goddess of harmony, thank you very much. ]

[sirenvoice]

[Angel smiles.]

I'm... pretty good at compiling information like that, so I could definitely help you out with that. As long as people are willing, I mean.

[She watches the Carbuncle wiggle around a little more, she can't help but think they're cute...]

Back home, um... Well, I guess it's kind of like magic. I'm what people call a Siren, I have innate abilities that let me do certain things. Or well, I did. I think my powers are sort of... all dried up now, so I was wondering if a mammet could help me, maybe?

[resetto]

[ oh gosh bolormaa gives a firm nod. ]

I'd love that! To, um, work with you.

[ even if she has just met this lady. ]

...Likely, if you could harness the same power source! You could call the cores of them a power source, after all. Tiny fragments of power.

[sirenvoice]

[Angel thinks about it... and she nods, moving the camera back so that Bolormaa can see the tattoos twirling up around her left arm and shoulder. She's still scraped up pretty badly, but she's healing.]

My tattoos glow when I use my powers, but I don't really know where the power comes from... nobody does. All I know is that they can be enhanced by something called eridium. So, maybe I just need some kind of medium to channel them again... And my powers could help us collect information, too.

[resetto]

Glowing tattooes... that's beautiful. My scales glimmer a little. [ She admits a little, before laughing. This poor other lady, though - she's injured!! Bolormaa worries - but she can hide it easily. ] A conduit would be quite helpful, in that case! Um-- do you have a place I can meet you? I've a few designs I've sketched, but you may need something different...!

[sirenvoice]

Hm... Well, I can get around town sort of now, I have crutches...

[She trails off a little, realizing--]

Oh, I'm sorry. I should explain. I was... injured before arriving here, so I had to get crutches from the clinic to walk. That's where I'm staying for right now too, if you know where it is. I could meet you at the general store though, that isn't too far away.

[Also...]

I'm Angel, by the way. I didn't introduce myself.

[She smiles sheepishly.] Sorry about that.

[resetto]

Oh--!! That's dreadful... [ Bolormaa says, trying to hide her worried gasp. ] I mean, I came from a not-so-good situation, but I was uninjured. I'll come meet you at the clinic - I'm sorry, but my healer friends aren't here! But she's really good at healing.

[ oh my gosh her name is angel bolormaa can't help but wiggle more, as she picks up her mammet and puts it on her carbuncle. is she... using... that carbuncle as a mount for her wind-up minfilia? yes, yes she is. ]

[sirenvoice]

I'm okay, really. I'll be okay, anyway.

[She smiles, just nodding.]

I'll... be here I guess.

[Angel hobbles out to the porch though, sitting on the porch swing with her legs dangling down, her crutches overtop her lap. She's... excited, she wanted to see something magical.]

[resetto]

[ And Bolormaa did get there - but took her time, because she's still learning how to get around herself. Alone - with just her and her Carbuncle. But it's the being who runs up first to Angel, yipping playfully.

Bolormaa trails behind. ]

--Play excuse my lateness.

[sirenvoice]

[Angel doesn't mind at all, especially when the Carbuncle comes up to her to yip and play. She hesitates, before putting a hand down to pet its head with an uncontrollable smile on her face. She's never had a pet or anything, or even gotten to play with someone else's, so she's living.]

He's so cute. What... What is he again? A Crabunkle?

[resetto]

A Carbuncle!

[ Bolormaa corrected, as the cute being flopped over. ] They're beings made of-- well, usually made of the ambient Aether, but that's not a possibility here...
