[So you probably didn't notice that Eley was gone from Luceti for a brief time, but you might notice that there's something strange flitting around the enclosure right now. It appears to be nothing more than a glowing orb of light, but it's donning the Filial wings of a Lucetian, in white and gold. When it speaks, it speaks into your mind, but the voice probably doesn't seem all that familiar - it's rather more... small and weak in tone.

Whatever this strange thing is, it doesn't appear to be dangerous. You'll find it hovering around all over the enclosure, from the village to the forest and possibly even beyond. Sometimes it'll seem to take a liking to someone and drift around their head for a while and when it gets tired, you'll find it perched on a branch or other small outcrop.

Maybe you should investigate? After all it appears to be harmless and it is rather pretty~]

(OOC: SO BASICALLY Eley underwent a Mallynap, albeit a short one since I decided not to go the full hiatus route in the end, oops. But he's now been robbed of his human body and is showing himself as the 'essence' of the Spirit he really is (plus wings of course). He'll be flitting around a lot like Navi from Zelda, so have fun~ And sorry for the failicon >>)

[ Lea jumps a little when the light ball decides to suddenly fly around him. It's way too big and bright to just be a firefly, especially since those are feathered, not insect wings, and it seems to be moving with purpose.

And then, somehow, via some other medium than physical sound, it talks to him. ]

Yaahh!

[ Lea's immediate reaction is to yelp and jump again. Then, delayed by a second, he realizes what it asked. The fact that whatever-it-is seems to be speaking straight into his head and not with an actual "voice" means that despite his shout, he hears and comprehends what it says without having drowned any words out. ]

I'm, uh - a what? [ New fea-- like, a new guy? Is that what they call the new guys here? ] Uh, yeah, I'm new - sorry, what are you?

[Eley decides that perhaps flying around in circles wasn't the best way to approach someone so he comes to rest on the man's head instead before he continues, though he was almost weightless. Then again a puff of wind wouldn't have much of a physical weight, would it?]

Forgive me... I did not mean to startle you. I am a Wind Spirit, though it seems we have met at a rather unfortunate time. While the Malnosso provided me with a human body upon my arrival here, they have since taken it away from me. It should feel liberating... but I find myself hoping that it does not last for too long.

Uh... jeez... [ Lea shoves his hands into his pockets. This is all very interesting, if hard to follow. ]

So you're a wind spirit. Why'd you need them to give you a human body if this is your normal form?

[ More importantly... The Malnosso can construct empty bodies for a wandering bodiless spirit to use? Considering the entire point of the Replica Project was to see if that very thing could be done for Xemnas's purposes, he doesn't like the sound of that. In fact, the more Lea hears about the Malnosso, the more he doesn't like the sound of them. ]

I did not exactly 'need' one. The Malnosso saw fit to give it to me. If I had arrived like this, I would not have had any qualms about being so open and vulnerable. Now however... I have started to get used to being human, to get used to what emotions mean and what they can do to such a body. I find myself feeling rather conflicted. They seem to be toying with me...

[Eley's opinion of them had soured considerably since is arrival here too. He had lived here for over a year and learned much about their kind. Even though this was not his world and therefore not his responsibility, he found himself angry at them more often than not. The blue orb flickered orange as if suggesting a shift in emotion.]

Sounds rough.

[ Lea can sympathize with the whole "getting used to emotions" thing. After spending eight years without a heart, eight years empty and grayed out, being whole again is near-overwhelming. It's not that he'd ever wish to lose his heart again, but sometimes he wishes the damn thing had a "mute" or "lower volume" button. ]

And nobody likes being changed without their permission like that.

[ Lea shrugs sympathetically. ] Wish I could help you, uh, wind spirit... guy. [ Pause. ] Do you have a name, something you go by?

[Should Eley hear such a thing he would be rather intrigued to hear about the experience, but of course that was something that would have to wait for another time.

If he had a face, he might have looked rather sheepish about not introducing himself. He still wasn't used to approaching humans face-to-face like this.]

Ah yes, I am Eleytheria. [He pauses, before adding...] Though some have taken to calling me simpler things, if that is easier for you.

I can do Eleytheria. Unless you'd rather I call you something else.

[ Yeah, that is a mouthful (and Lea probably mispronounced it or accented the wrong syllable)... but on the other hand, it can be exhausting if you have a name and no one wants to call you by it. ]

El? Ria? Big E? It's your call.

[ Better introduce himself while he's at it. ]

Anyway, my name's Lea. Got it memorized?

Some have taken to calling me Eley. El will suffice.

[Beat already called him a myriad of things, namely 'Fluffs', so he was starting to get used to having strange nicknames by now.]

And I will try to remember that name. Lea... I am sure we will meet again in future once the Malnosso see fit to return my body to me.
