I'm back, please hold your applause.

Ah, sorry about that folks, looks like I forgot to tone down the magic and blew out my old computer. Still, I must admit, it's nice to know that even if my magic ain't what it used to be, I retain my title as "Walking Bane of Technology." For those who were worried my sparkling wit would disappear from this city, I'm fine now. For those who weren't, sorry to disappoint.

Sora, sorry if I worried you, and you're welcome. Not that there's much need to thank me, you did pretty good yourself. Don't suppose you've ever given thought to being a private investigator?

Is Namine feeling any better?

To answer your question, magic is powered primarily by a wizard's emotions. You've got to put something of yourself into a spell, and the stronger the emotion you put in, the more powerful the effect. I...you can probably figure out the rest yourself, right? I sure as hell don't want to explain it [/private to Sora]

Anyway, seems that we're experiencing some some rather dangerous weather lately. Looks like there is a high chance of Crab attacks in the near future, so don't leave your house without those weapons folks. Hopefully this is only temporary, wonder what's stirring them up? Murphy, we should see about adjusting the patrols to deal with this, especially if it turns out to not be temporary.

Hey. I...You're amazing, You mean so much to me, well seeing as I am an Old World kind of guy, I believe that it is my duty, and pleasure, to ask you out to a nice dinner. Unfortunately it seems most places are closed for some reason, and Rai Rai Ken doesn't have the most "romantic" ambiance, so I was thinking we could have it at my place? It's not as nice as I'd like, but I promise I'll do my best.

Also, we should figure out what to tell the peanut gallery now that it seems word of our kiss has gotten out. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable after all. [/Private to Riza]
