Seventy First Star [Video]

-His voice is panicked. Those who know Tir know that it is very difficult for him to sound panicked. And you're about to hear why. The camera itself is focused on the unholy light show going on outside the city. It's simply massive-

Gracia! Come look at this!

It... it feels like...

That same power. It's the same power as the Rune.

-The video feed just focuses on the explosion for awhile. It truly is something to behold.-

... You can feel it. The suffocating fingers of death...

... The Rune? What?

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

The True Rune of Life and Death... Souleater...

It's hard to explain.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

It eats souls? Is that why people are dying left and right?

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Trust me, similar as they are, it is literally impossible for that to be the Rune.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

... Why's that?

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It's at the bottom of the lake. And a Rune needs a host in order for its power to manifest.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

So there's a soul-eating monster that possesses people at the bottom of the lake.

[...]

It's yours?

-Tir doesn't bother to correct him. Because when you really thought about it... it wasn't that far off base.-

It was.

[good call, it'd probably be futile trying to get the nuts and bolts through to him anyway]

[just stares]

You threw it into the lake.

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

In a welded metal box, yes.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

If it can eat souls, can't it eat the box?

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

... The box doesn't have a soul, sir.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

I know that! I was talking about its power level!

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

... I told you a moment ago that it needs a host in order to manifest, sir.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[oh yeah]

W-Well there's other stuff living in the lake, isn't there?!

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It's still on my hand.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

... What.

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

-He holds up his stub hand to demonstrate his point.-

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

[wait]

What.

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think I made matters clear...

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[give him some processing time, here]

[...]

[...]

[...]

It counts if it's a dead hand?

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

So long as it's on the hand, it cannot be transferred to another host.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

How would you get it off the hand?

[video]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I can't tell you that.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[oh, right]

Well, maybe it got out of the box. You never know.
