PEACE WEEKEND

[It's your first week here, and you've been offered a fantastic prize for killing someone: an all-expense paid vacation! It's a pretty standard prize as far as reality game shows go.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this isn't exactly a game show.

It seems that no one has died this weekend, and the deadline for the prize is now expired. There's no announcement from the Overseers to that effect; in fact, none of you have seen either of them since Tuesday. Maybe they'll make a reappearance soon, but for now, it seems that you've got a moment of peace.

Hopefully nothing happens to it.]

Um. We fight the Imperials a lot, yeah.

[Because the fuckers fucking SPAWN constantly when I'm trying to catch frogs in PEACE]

But there's only four of us, and the MTs... they never end. So we've been on this quest all over the world so Noct can get the Crystal back and use its magic to finally stop them.

[Wow rude why can't they respect four dudes contributing to scientific research what the heck]

...There...are more than four of us, but, I can understand...unending waves of foes. [She grimaces a bit.] They march on, relentless and merciless...and there's no reasoning with them at all, is there? No way to get them to turn back.

[He shakes his head.]

Nothing to turn 'em back to. They're just... metal and wires, all powered by Magitek. Nothing to think with. If we tried sending them back to Niflheim, they'd just turn right back around and march right over us.

...

[She lets out a long breath, a sour twinge to the set of her mouth.]

I think that's something I wish wasn't so similar between us.

[Yeah. Well, what is there to say about that? After a moment, he just sighs in agreement and pats her shoulder. Solidarity, yo.]

We can worry about it once we get back. Right?

...Right.

[Perhaps they could help each other. MTs and the Risen seemed similar enough, then fighting them should be the same concept, right?]

At the very least...the closest thing we have to either of them is Zombina, but, she's...definitely not like any of the Risen from my world. She's completely different.

Yeah, she's just kind of... a human with a condition, really. I think the closest thing we've got here to an MT is the microwave in the kitchen.
