Do not partake of the bathtub moonshine.

Explain.

[zodiheart]

I may need assistance.

[recreator]

[Godsdammit, Themis. This better not be another joke!]

Where are you? And don't say something vague like "bathroom".

You have 30 seconds to respond, by the way.

[zodiheart]

Floor of bathroom.

Ardyn is here too.

[recreator]

[Why is Ardyn there? Also where is "there"? Ugh. Doesn't matter. His friend's soul should stand out like a beacon.]

That makes it even worse.

I'm notifying the others and then I'm coming to collect you.

[zodiheart]

Do not let Erichthonios partake.

[recreator]

I wouldn't dream of allowing it.

However, I am certain he will want to see you safe, and thus I can only promise that I will not let him within 6 fulms of the bathtub.

[zodiheart]

Will you please bring water.

I am unwell.

hey

[ There was more to that thought but it's gone now. ]

[recreator]

Is that all you have to say for yourself?

If you have nothing else to contribute, do be quiet. Unless, of course, you see fit to provide us with directions to make this easier.

[fatedfinality]

Elidibus offered to try it
Just so you know

I must say, given what little I've gathered of this moonshine's potency, I wasn't aware spirits of such strength existed.

[Quite impressive really! Current circumstances aside.]

How in the world did you manage it?

[fatedfinality]

It's been a while since I distilled any of my own liquor, but I have some prior experience

Though apparently when you forgo quality for potency, it has some interesting results

Hythlodaeus, we need to locate Elidibus - and quickly.

Are you able to see where he's gone from here? He'll be in one of the other cottages, not his own. He also mentioned something about a hole in the roof.

[nomoresharks]

Just a moment.

[And that moment later...]

The trail of aether is a bit faint, but there's just enough to follow to something a bit brighter. If you would keep your eyes to this realm, I shall keep mine to the other.

[recreator]

Of course.

I'll meet you just outside and notify the others of our departure. No doubt Erichthonios and Elidibus's other friends will wish to check in on him as well.

[Best that they go together. He knows Hythlodaeus can find his own way, but together his own aether will serve as a guidepost. So Hythlodaeus doesn't get tangled up in any material obstructions while his vision is focused upon the aetherial.]

[miniroth]

Does your vision allow you to ignore things such as walls, if it can ignore flesh and blood in favor of souls?

[recreator]

It does, though as with normal vision, one's ability to detect a particular soul deteriorates once the distance between them has become too great. I've called upon an associate of mine for assistance. His skill surpasses mine.

[miniroth]

I must rely on more mundane methods. If you find him before I do and require aid in moving him or Ardyn, I will likely be nearby.

[recreator]

I'm not concerned with Ardyn.

I will, however, notify you if we locate Elidibus first, and where. I trust that you will do the same?

[miniroth]

Ardyn will know what's in this drink. If he's added mushrooms or local plants for flavor. It would be unfortunate if he didn't know what hemlock was.

Of course.

[recreator]

Poison.

[Don't ask how he knows.]

[Sephiroth makes a keen point, however. Pity. It means they'll have to be somewhat gentle with Ardyn if they want to pry the recipe from his lips. What a bother this is turning out to be...]

[miniroth]

Something additionally toxic is very likely unless they've been drinking a while. I am going to have to ask Charlie if he can bring me some materia, an esuna would be very handy right now.

[recreator]

How fares your search efforts?

My associates and I have picked up Elidibus's trail and are headed in a northeasterly direction.

[miniroth]

I found one with a hole in the roof but I am not yet there and my map skills are terrible.

But you may be able to see me, I'm on a different roof. 'This way' in a generalized sense.
