You know... a DM feels pride when he sees this. This. This is the result of seeds I have planted in the form of EOTA in your imagination. Then people like you grow these seeds and harvest the fruits of awesomeness.

If I go any deeper in fruity imagery, I'll have to knock myself out, for my own sake.

Am I making sense? Does it matter? All that matters is that this is awesome ans I am gonna make awesome games based on this.

Yay! Glad you liked it! And I'm having a blast developing Esmeray. I was kind of meh on her when I created her, for reasons I think I've explained to you. Now, she's totally awesome. In my own head, I mean. ;)

I just read both segments so far and found them very enjoyable. It will be interesting to see what's ahead for Emanuel and Esmeray. They both have qualities and attributes that are fascinating. Excellent writing, Tanith. :clap:

Oh wow, glad you liked it, SS1. I guess it can stand alone as a story since the Espers are kind of secluded from the rest of Algo. (One of the reasons I picked an Esper as a character was because it would be harder for me to screw up and get out of context. ;))

Anyway, more is coming soon!

I am thrilled to see the espers get some development love.

But more than that, this story has grasped me directly by the heart. Were I a player in this campaign, I would go nuts for Esmeray.

Powerful.

Incredibly powerful.

Well done my friend.

The violin playing scene was really intense. I always thought it was stupid that in PS2 you needed a technique to play a simple instrument, but now I understand that in the hands of a master like Ustvestia or Esmeray, it can do much more than that. It all makes sense to me now, thanks to your ingeniosity.

Thank you, Solar. This is a great opportunity for me to expand on technique usage. While it's great that techniques can blow the crap out of enemies, I think it's reasonable to assume that technique energy can be adapted for a variety uses. It's just that in a real video game, no one cares if your techniques are good at controlling animals or enhancing music. ;)
