Get a glass or something so it doesn't escape again.

[ He can feel it wiggling and squirming around in his hands. Come on Rikku, help a guy out. ]

They're everywhere, feels like.

[al_bhed]

Oh, right!

[Rikku goes back to her table, dumps out what's left of her water, shakes the glass a few times to get most of the remaining droplets out, and goes back to Vanitas. She uses the glass to scoop the mouse out of his hands, then covers the top with her hand.

The mouse, for its part, squeaks in protest.]

They are! Do you know where they all came from? I haven't seen them before a couple of days ago...

[darkcharge]

[ At least with it being a plant, there's no real teeth or claw for it to really get at Vanitas. The thing is just squirmy. So he's very relieved to just drop the thing into the glass. ]

Yeah, I do. I can take you to the gardens that they came from. They'll even pay you for their safe return.

[al_bhed]

[She can get paid for this find! Nice!]

You hear that, little guy? You're going to refund me the lunch you ruined.

[Since the mouse was most of her salad and all.]

Lead the way!

[darkcharge]

With the way that you were determined to catch the thing, I thought maybe you were hunting them down like a lot of us are.

[ Pretty funny to think that this isn't the case. Rikku had actually just been enjoying a meal and some random mouse shows up. ]

This way.

[ Time to head towards the gardens! ]

[al_bhed]

It's not every day that your salad comes to life and runs away from you. I wanted to get a closer look at the guy.

[If she had gotten the memo, she would have definitely joined the hunt! For now, however, she falls into step with Vanitas and occasionally coos at the mouse while it tries to figure out a way out of its glass prison.]

Stuff like this kind of just happens here, huh? You'd think I'd be done being surprised by it by now, but I guess not.

[darkcharge]

[ Good thing it's only a plant then, huh? Those little leafy teeth and root-like claws really aren't going to get that mouse anywhere. It probably doesn't even hurt Rikku does it? ]

I guess that would be something of a shock, sure.

[ lately, he has started to wonder about the worlds that people come from. What do they find normal? What do they think is strange? ]

Magic doesn't do that sort of thing where you come from?

[al_bhed]

[It doesn't hurt at all--Rikku finds it more endearing than anything else.]

No, not really. Back home, magic either heals and buffs or uses nature to destroy. Fire spells, water spells, stuff like that. I haven't ever heard of anyone transforming things or making little creatures like this.

[Well, there's the fayth. But that's not really everyday magic, so that's an exception.]

Is it common where you come from?

[darkcharge]

For the most part it's the same. Healing magic. Attack magic that's primarily elemental-based.

[ Vanitas shrugs. ]

But then you do have people that are adept in other magics. Like time and changing shape, yes. Different worlds have different types of magic and different laws regarding magic.

[al_bhed]

That's the part that's taking some getting used to for me. Knowing about other worlds isn't really a thing where I come from.

[Heck, Spira has a hard enough time with its own history and technology--if other worlds were involved, who knows how badly things would have gone sideways under Yevon.]

But I'm not complaining, really. It's been fun to learn about everything, you know?

[darkcharge]

In general people aren't supposed to. They are supposed to live their lives completely unaware of the existence of other worlds.

[ Those that have Keyblades are different. They do know about other worlds, not that they are supposed to share that information. ]

I suppose. Visiting them is better, I think.
