Right, so. I've seen much and more about Retrospec sending out *weapons* through the post, but I think this might be a first. Whatever it is.

If anyone else out there has some idea of exactly what this is -- aside from the obvious "it's a helmet," thank you, already got that one figured out -- then I'd be glad to hear it, because I haven't got a clue.

[How long will either go without this turning into a disaster, the world may never know--

Actually, it may be surprising. Especially since that's enough to derail Ardyn's train of thought with a single word.]

You have memories of chocobos?

[Freya remembered chocobos, and while Ardyn didn't have the luxury of doing so, it's an odd connection. Because Freya also remembered a behemoth and a tonberry -- and so did he.

So of course he's going to follow up with this a little. Tenuous or otherwise.]

Did they look similar to ones in Recolle? [Freya's didn't.] Describe them.

[ the fact that ardyn seems to be more interested in the chocobos than the other things he mentioned takes gabranth by surprise, but he doesn't see any reason not to answer truthfully. ]

I only remember one, and I was riding it. It was yellow and it didn't look at all dissimilar from the ones I've seen here.

What about you?

[Without any hint as to why, Ardyn doesn't respond to this as quickly as he had been. In fact, one might think he's lost interest in the conversation completely.

And then:]

I remember them /now/.

[Yes, he just remembered chocobos being a Thing in whatever world existed in his memories.]

Similar to the ones in Recolle. Yellow, and even black ones.

If I name a few things, will you tell me if they sound familiar to you?

[ that is what gabranth thinks at first, truthfully, and he's fully prepared to just leave the conversation where it lies. but... ]

Black ones?

[ that doesn't actually come as too much of a surprise to him, given the varieties of colors that seem to exist even here in recolle. but he does wonder if those same varieties existed in the world from his visions... anyway. ]

Go on, then.

Yes. They were different, somehow, than the rest.

[But he doesn't remember why.

However, he does remember the names of the monsters he recalled, a few months back. He'll give no preface, and instead only begin to name them outright.]

Iron Giant, Tonberry, Thunder Bomb, and/or a Behemoth.
