caughtinanetwork | Fifth promise; accidental video

[If you're in the Lower District today, somewhere between the dividing line between the Middle and Lower Districts and the forest, you may have seen Rinoa running full speed. And if you have quick eyes, you might have seen why; she's been chasing after one of these little guys. This particular bugger got a hold of her SFC, and she's been in pursuit since he nabbed it right outside her home.

The video is accidentally kicked on when Rinoa manages to pelt something at the Unversed, knocking her SFC out of its grip. It clatters to the ground, spinning on its back. The camera lens is facing a random direction, but Rinoa can be see in its very periphery.

She ducks suddenly, just before the Flood launches at her. It doesn't move like a normal living thing. It's certainly not like any monster Rinoa's seen. It glides across the ground, almost like a shadow. Rinoa's backpedaling now, keeping her eyes on the thing.

However, it manages to slide past her and reemerge from behind. Before she can turn around in time, it snaps up from the ground and lands a hit on her. While it's nothing lethal or even that serious, it does draw blood, and it sends Rinoa stumbling back.

The sorceress at this point has had enough. Just as the creature leaps back to prepare another attack, Rinoa's hand snaps back and she conjures up a toasty Fira spell and whips it at the Unversed. It might be hard to see from the SFC, but one might notice a faint pair of angel wings that sprouted from her back when she cast the spell. Needless to say, once the spell is done, the sucker's fried, and the wings disappear quickly.

The impromptu battle over, Rinoa limps over to her SFC. She's got a hand over her wound, but when she moves the other hand to grab her communicator, she notices it's on. She mutters,]

Anyone know what that thing was?

[Ah. That's...]

It seems to be an Unversed.

[Rinoa seems to be alright, so he doesn't ask her how she is.]

Those ones are not particularly dangerous, but please eliminate any you find. I'll search for their source.

An... Unversed? You've come across this before? [So far from what she's heard, no one has seen or heard of these things. Though it is a bit of a relief that someone knows of it.]

Yes. They are creatures summoned by a masked person called Vanitas. Mickey believes him powerful and dangerous, and has advised people stay away from him.

[A pause. Serph is pretty good at ignoring instructions sometimes.]

Since more are not appearing near you, it's likely Vanitas isn't in the area.

I must have missed that. Why the heck would someone like him be brought here...?

[She nods to Serph, though. The warning is appreciated, and now she knows to be more careful.]

I doubt it. I haven't seen anyone like that around. But I'll keep a look out.

[Why were any of them brought here, really. They have suspicions, theories, but nothing entirely solid. So he doesn't answer that.]

Thank you. [A pause.] Be careful.

I will. You, too, Serph.
