[Voice/Action]
The line between monsters and humanity is... thinner than I assumed.
[Vincent is heading off toward the forest. He walks quickly, with a great deal of intent in his stride, and his expression. It's made a little less dramatic by the fact that he's still mostly covered in pink dye, despite attempts to wash it off. But after the events of the draft, and then coming home to Remnants going crazy, he's still battling with the inner demons. His only consolation is that they're not as powerful in here.]
[Once he reaches the forest, he takes on the form of the Galian Beast, running around in hopes of letting the monster have some release while (he hopes) staying well away from people. Do you bother him anyway? Y/N/MAYBE]
[...And is that a tinge of PINK in the large wolfy beast's fur?]

[Action]
It's possible they have similarities... What are the Espers like?
[Action]
They come in many different shapes and sizes; some look relatively human, others can appear as dragons or other creatures. Their magic varies greatly, too. One called Leviathan knew water magic, for example. He's one of those that appeared as a dragon. People can learn magic from Espers, even summon them.
...well, not here.
[Action]
[Action]
Well...we didn't call it materia, but when Espers died, they turned into crystals called magicite. People could then use magicite to summon. Is this like your materia?
[Action]
Materia is a crystallized form of a substance drawn from the essence of the Planet... the Lifestream. Some materia possess magical or enhancing capabilities, and others allow summoning.
[Action]
[Her brow furrows.]
Do you possess any here? I know they won't less us summon, but still....
[Action]
[A pause, he glances around to be certain they're alone.]
...but with the recent discussion of summoning, perhaps that will change.
[Action]
I was thinking the same thing, earlier. I'm...not sure how to feel about it. I heard there were consequences.
[Action]
[Action]
[She bites her lip.]
Yet, what if we need them, if they recruit us?
[Action]
[A pause.]
I was among the the draft. I could... see how it may have been of use to many combatants. Particularly those who rely upon such abilities.
[Action]
If you don't mind my asking...when you were recruited, what was it like? Did the Malnosso keep their promises?
[Action]
[Action]
[She bites her lip, undoubtedly wondering the same thing for herself.]
[Action]
[A pause. Since he's aware of the part-Esper thing now, but not how that works.]
Is your Esper form... a separate consciousness from yourself?
[Action]
No. I'm still me, just with greater power. I can control myself, as long as I'm in that form for short bursts. I've been trying to see if I can push that limit, but...not too much. If I'm in that form for too long, I don't know what could happen, and I don't want to harm anyone here.
[Action]
[Action]
I will...though I'm beginning to think that the mountains might still be a better place for this. There's more cover here, but less people go to the mountains anyway. It's not like this is a secret, exactly...but I'm not used to people knowing.
[Action]
My situation is similar. The monsters are no secret... but I won't put myself in a position where they will cause harm. The more isolated I can remain... the better.
[Action]
I understand. That must get lonely, sometimes.
[At least, it could be for her and she was far from the most social of people. She had a hard time imagining that anyone would enjoy complete isolation, though.]
[Action]
I've adapted.
Most of the time, I'm better able to reign them in.
[Action]
[Action]
[Though it is true that he typically can reign them in better, usually.]
