[voice testing] loogie woo kreznix (don't ask)

[It finally happened. It was really only a matter of time- and Ludger now finds himself in a fractured dimension on his own, without his friends to help him. It's... probably better this way, anyway. There's no reason for them to have to bear the burden of dealing with these places. It's on him, right? Both as an agent of Spirius, and as a user of the chromatus.

Still, it's kind of lonely. Especially without Elle, even though he knows he can use the chromatus without her right now.

Oh well. The sooner he gets out of here, the sooner he'll get back to the others. Best get down to business and find that catalyst.]

[OW GODDAMMIT

Ludger grimaces and rolls, shoving Ivar off. He could have just said not to shoot.]

You can talk to monsters?

[beastcraft]

[ He springs back to his feet, striking a pose - one finger thrust truimphantly up in the air. ]

Of course! I am a master of beastcraft.

[chromatose]

[what

does that even mean]

Is that some kind of spirit arte?

[Rieze Maxians really do have some strange abilities.]

[beastcraft]

Right. I keep forgetting how deprived you all are.

[ He rests his hands on his hips. ] The arte of beastcraft is a very specific and rare spirit arte. You have to be born with it to use it. And I, as it just so happens, was born with it. I can hear and understand the voices of animals and monsters as easily as I can hear humans.

[chromatose]

["Deprived" is really not the word he'd pick - he does okay, as a matter of fact - but whatever, he doesn't want to pick a fight.

Of course you have to be born with it, though. Seems like everything that's happened recently is all about who you are and where you come from. Why would Ivar be any different?]

Well... cool, then. So you can send it into town?

[beastcraft]

Yep.

[ He calls up into the sky. The dragon flaps its wings and turns toward town. ]

That should be able to tell me what's up.

[chromatose]

It's not usually that easy, but... it might help.

[Can't hurt to get a feel for the place.]

The divergence catalyst is almost always the cause of whatever made this dimension significantly different from the prime dimension. We need to focus on that.
