In Zanarkand

"It looks that way. But more importantly, what the damn is going on!? Pardon my language."

Ingrid giggles a bit, "Language excused, as for the reasoning behind it, maybe this is a dream after all, and if it is, I can't image the dreamers creating an entire world for us to explore. We were bound to hit the limit sooner or later."

[A dream?]

*She looks at the bracelet again*

[Does that mean this'll disappear when we wake up?]

"How can it be a dream if we aren't dreams? Also, we should probably start walking back now, so that we can catch the next lift & get back to the shop."

"Well, we were sucked up into that blackhole. If this isn't a dream, well, I'd hate to think we're dead." Ingrid said turning to walk back.

*Hitomi follows Luna when she starts to head back.*

"Actually, I've been thinking about that. Your scan spell said Atomos was a summon. That means that summons don't have to be living creatures, doesn't it?"

"I guess not. You would know more about summons than I would though." Ingrid said.

[If this is a dream it's incredibly vivid. But it can't be dream as we're all experiencing it and that's incredibly unlikely. Why is today getting more and more confusing?]

*When the lift shows up, Luna walks in.*

"So, here's an idea: What if this city is an Aeon?"

"How could a city be an aeon?" Ingrid asked, "You really think we can get out of here with a few spells and attacks?"

[Perhaps we're inside that Aeon that the Unsent summoned.]

"No. I was just thinking, it would explain all of the Fayth at Mt. Gagazet. Because the temples get a lot of communication with the rest of Spira, I always knew they were there, I we was never told how they ended up there, or what they were summoning. Talking about them was...discouraged."

"Discouraged?" Ingrid asked a bit confused, "Well, I guess we found out why, they summon a giant blackhole that eats you."

[No surprises there that she'd be dumb.]

"Umm...no, that was the Unsent."

"Ah, well, nevermind then, forgive me for not paying attention, I was sucked into a blackhole not too long ago, I think I've earned a few mistakes when it comes to what it was that summoned said blackhole." Ingrid said with a shrug.

"There's no excuse for stupidity."

"Also, we got sucked through the black hole, too."

*She steps off of the lift.*

"Where is the, as Hitomi would say, 'stupid thief'?"

*Ark is sitting a ways across the street juggling with twin Mage Mashers, frowning at her.*

Ark: <You used to be nicer! So, what happened to the lift plan?>

"It went on without you."

[It was a complete disaster.]

Ingrid shrugged off the insult, "It didn't go well, we seem to be stuck within the confines of Zanarkand."

"To be more precise, Mt. Gagazet seems to be there one step, & the next, it's just a sheer drop into miles of ocean. Also, it looks cold."

Ark: <So we're stuck here? There were lots of Summoners in Zanarkand, right? There's gotta be some sort of hierarchy we can take advantage of to learn more about what happened. Maybe they have someone like a Maester or something.>

[Didn't he learn to not be stupid?]
