I've found you, ≺Player Name≻! Picked you out of a pile of chocobo bedding!≺Prompt≻
How will you respond?
≺Selection Dialog≻What a...curious beast.
Cait Sith...?≺Prompt≻
What!?
Have you lost your wits, ≺Player Name≻? Suffered any blows to the head?≺Prompt≻
That you could forget about me, after all we've been through together!
Why, it's unforgivable! Not to be forgiven!≺Prompt≻
Wait a moment...
Could this be a result of the dimensional disturbance?≺Prompt≻
Oh, Goddess have mercy!≺Prompt≻
Have I merged with a plane where you know not of me?
Where we are but strangers in the night?≺Prompt≻
...≺Prompt≻
No, you mustn't give up.
Be strong, Cait Sith! Buck up your spirits!≺Prompt≻
This is the ≺Player Name≻ you know! There is no doubt of that.≺Prompt≻
<Ahem>... Pardon me.
We can discuss the details another day.≺Prompt≻
What matters now is that I have urgent need of your services.
So come along quickly, ≺Player Name≻! No time to dally!≺Prompt≻
Do you see that?≺Prompt≻
That is a dimensional disturbance. A rift in the fabric of space and time.≺Prompt≻
Whither it leads, we do not know. Haven't even a clue.≺Prompt≻
I made an attempt to venture beyond, but to no avail.
My every effort thwarted.≺Prompt≻
On the other hand, I fear there are...things...capable of making the reverse trip with unsettling ease.
Unwelcome visitors from a distant world.≺Prompt≻
Mayhap you've heard rumor of “Voidwalkers.” Might ring a bell.≺Prompt≻
Savage fiends, they are, and even more ill of temper after their transdimensional journey.≺Prompt≻
The brave people of this world resist their onslaught for now, but this will not hold forever. Only a matter of time.≺Prompt≻
...Yes?
Is there a problem of sorts? Something concerning you?≺Prompt≻
What's the matter?
≺Selection Dialog≻You seem...different somehow.
Didn't you vanish?≺Prompt≻
That I did, for a time.
But this new threat was simply too great to ignore. Could not stand idly by.≺Prompt≻
Such is the nature of Cait Sith.
When I am needed by Altana's children, there I shall be.≺Prompt≻
So I call upon you to take up arms for the Goddess once more. Spread forth your wings.≺Prompt≻
Different, you say?≺Prompt≻
Dear me... It would seem that I've wandered into an entirely different plane of existence. Become a stray cait.≺Prompt≻
I am Cait Sith, this is true, but not the Cait Sith you know. The Cait Sith you know is not me.≺Prompt≻
A curious state, yes, but such is the nature of dimensional flux.≺Prompt≻
Parallel worlds--infinite possibilities that might have been, had things only happened differently. Taken another turn.
From one such world do I hail.≺Prompt≻
Do you understand what I'm saying, ≺Player Name≻? Able to follow?
In other words, the Cait Sith you know continues to exist in your world, this world.≺Prompt≻
I am myself, and no one else.
Hence, there is nothing unusual about me.≺Prompt≻
I've had my share of struggles with alternate futures, but this is an entirely different matter.
A whole new can of sandworms.≺Prompt≻
My head--and yours as well, no doubt--throbs just thinking about it.
Severe brain pain.≺Prompt≻
Oh dear, it nigh slipped my mind!
I must take care not to reveal my identity to my alter ego from this world.≺Prompt≻
If you'll excuse me for just a moment...≺Prompt≻
...It looks like we have a lot of catching up to do.≺Prompt≻
And it would seem that you and I have not yet made acquaintance in this world.
A full introduction would be in order, but I fear we haven't the time. Matters far too urgent.≺Prompt≻
Besides, I am certain our paths will cross eventually. All in due time.
Now, if you'll excuse me a moment...≺Prompt≻
Yes, that should do the trick. Will serve nicely.
Now, where were we?≺Prompt≻
You have already slain a number of these Voidwalkers on your way here, am I correct?≺Prompt≻
Splendid! You must continue your efforts to quell this interdimensional menace.
Make it your first priority.≺Prompt≻
The fiends have not yet overrun this world, but I fear for the worst if the threat is left unchecked.≺Prompt≻
You must take action while there is still time. Launch a preemptive strike.≺Prompt≻
In the meantime, I will continue to investigate the disturbance. Get to the bottom of this.≺Prompt≻
Kupohoho...≺Unknown Parameter (Type: 36) 2≻ Thou spin'st a stirring tale, my feline friend.≺Prompt≻
Who goes there!?≺Prompt≻
Pray pardon my presumptuousness.
I am Kupofried, a humble moogle beckoned hither by mine own curiosity as to the events of which thou speakest.≺Prompt≻
Yes, 'twould seem this phenomenon doth hold implications most dire.
More dire, even, than that which hath manifested at the Walk of Echoes, kupo...≺Prompt≻
Truth to tell, I know not if my knowledge will avail thee.
Still, 'twould be remiss of me not to offer mine aid.≺Prompt≻
Lo, what have we here? Within thee I sense power and knowledge most curious.
Clearly, it is not merely the span of years that separates you and I. Nay, there is something in your being, almost...otherworldly.≺Prompt≻
Friends, pray let down thy guard.
I swear upon mine honor that I mean thee no harm, kupo.≺Prompt≻
Just what manner of moogle are you...? Reveal your identity!≺Prompt≻
<Ahem>... As I did already tell thee not moments ago, I am Kupofried, a simple moogle possessed of a thirst for knowledge in matters interdimensional.≺Prompt≻
Once there was a time when I served mooglekind in another capacity.
But such days are long since past, and now I am content to seclude myself in my studies, kupo.≺Prompt≻
You certainly get around, don't you, ≺Player Name≻?
Why, it's as if you're at the center of everything. A ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[man/woman] for all seasons.≺Prompt≻
Kupofried. If you have truly traveled here to aid us, I would ask of you a question. Query a query.≺Prompt≻
As you please, kupo.≺Prompt≻
Do you understand the nature of this dimensional disturbance? The cause for this schism in spacetime?≺Prompt≻
Ah, would that I could impart such knowledge to thee, child!
Alas, the mysteries of the universe are myriad and manifold, eluding even the grasp of even a humble moogle who hath far outlived his allotted span--≺Prompt≻
...In other words, you're as lost as us. Haven't the foggiest?≺Prompt≻
<Sigh>... Verily.≺Prompt≻
Yet this much I know, kupo...
Whate'er it might be, it bodeth ill for us and our kind.≺Prompt≻
≺Player Name≻, was it?≺Prompt≻
Correct me if I err, but thou hast witnessed the power of the mog tablets in thine own world, no?≺Prompt≻
And I might surmise that countrymoogles of mine calling themselves the Magian Mooglehood have also made an appearance.
Is that so, kupo?≺Prompt≻
The Magian Mooglehood...?
≺Selection Dialog≻For true.
Never heard of 'em.≺Prompt≻
...Kupositively curious.
Still, if the tablets have truly been found, 'tis all but certain that the Magians are out there somewhere, eagerly awaiting thine arrival...≺Prompt≻
Then it is just as I thought, kupo.≺Prompt≻
...≺Prompt≻
Thou art, as our feline friend did proffer, at the center of something far beyond our ability to fathom.
Forsooth, this also doth explain why the mog tablets remain dormant in this time...≺Prompt≻
You're jumping from topic to topic. No rhyme or reason to your ramblings.
What do these tablets have to do with the price of tea in Jeuno?≺Prompt≻
Pray forgive me.
It is said, thou seest, that the power imbued in the tablets shall only awaken when the time is nigh.≺Prompt≻
...A time when the veil of ill omen beclouds the skies of our Vana'diel.≺Prompt≻
The opening of the gateway to the Walk of Echoes is one such ominous portent.
And though we cannot be certain, all evidence doth point to this dimensional rift being the cause.≺Prompt≻
The fabric of time and space doth stretch and tear, the resultant holes ripping through worlds, eras, and realities with nary a care for their unfortunate denizens.
Ever must we be vigilant against threats from beyond the void.≺Prompt≻
Kupo-ho.
Ask me not why, ≺Player Name≻, but thine era of origin is a veritable rookery of ill omens.≺Prompt≻
So it is that long-dormant magicks of the mog tablets have awakened.
Alas! To think their creator dreamed of a halcyon age where their prodigious powers would be needed ne'ermore!≺Prompt≻
Still, fortune hath not forsaken us entirely.
The dimensional rifts are still fresh; we have yet a measure of time before the extradimensional intruders overrun the realm.≺Prompt≻
Which means we must take action! Raise arms and paws in the Goddess's name!≺Prompt≻
Our regal friend speaks sooth, kupo.≺Prompt≻
≺Player Name≻. I knew from the moment I first gazed upon you.
Thou hast it within thee to be the savior for thy world, and mayhap other worlds as well.
Thy presence here before me is proof enough of that; our meeting is not mere happenstance.≺Prompt≻
Thy battle will be a trying one, but thou needest not fight it alone, kupo.
Seek out comrades who harbor that selfsame devotion, and together, even the fiercest Voidwalkers shall fall before thee.≺Prompt≻
Become a shining beacon in the darkness of the void, ≺Player Name≻.
Our hopes rest in you.≺Prompt≻
That's right, ≺Player Name≻! You may not be the ≺Player Name≻ I know, but you're definitely ≺Player Name≻.
And if I know ≺Player Name≻, I know ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[he/she]'s up to any task...!
Er, forgive me, ≺Player Name≻, I'm a bit confused. Muddled in the mind.≺Prompt≻
I think thou expressest thyself most eloquently.
Well, ≺Player Name≻, the time is come for thee to strikest forth.≺Prompt≻
As for the nature of the disturbance, I shall continue mine investigations, together with...ah...er...≺Prompt≻
Am I that forgettable? Lacking stage presence?
The name is Cait Sith!≺Prompt≻
...Together with my most esteemed acquaintance Cait Sith.≺Prompt≻
Why, it's a tag team for the ages! A dauntless dimension-hopping duo!≺Prompt≻
I will contact you if we uncover anything, ≺Player Name≻.
Don't call me, I'll call you.≺Prompt≻
Now, I must go back into hiding. Make a discreet retreat.
After all, if I were to stumble upon myself, the consequences would be most dire.≺Prompt≻
I, too, must needs take my leave, ≺Player Name≻.
Now go forth and deliver the realm from this malevolent menace, kupo!≺Prompt≻
A mysterious column of floating stones rotates hypnotically before you.≺Prompt≻
