Such is the nature of the passage of time. All great cities will fall eventually, according to history.
[ But this really is something, large buildings that tower over the sandy dunes of the desert, and the sparkling water of the oasis right in the city center. ]
It's illusory magic, but...
[ Hm. He's going to bend down and touch the water, but he loses his balance and ends up falling in (9).
[ Thankfully he didn't take any at all, but his clothes are now soaked through. At least he goes right back up with Yamato's help, the water about knee deep on him. ]
[ Sure, Pika. He'll spare him from more teasing, though, but unfortunately he has nothing to help dry him off. He'll do some kind of magic spell for him after they get the water, it's fine!! ]
Wanna attempt that one more time? Or should I go ahead?
[ Totally fine! At least his wet clothes are kind of cooling right now anyway. ]
...Sure.
[ He reaches into his pocket, taking out the little bottle they need filled. Without much trouble, he dips it into the water and fills it up all the way, tightening the cap on it once he's pulled it back up to the surface. ]

[ He's prepared to get to work. Let's get that water. ]
If we need to calm them, I know what they like. They seemed to enjoy it when I performed for them weeks ago. I can try it again if we need to.
no subject
Really?
[ Yamato did mention being an idol... ]
Well, if we know it works, why don't we try for it?
no subject
[ And sure enough, they do (15)! And they are open to assisting. How nice of the spirits, eh? Hopefully Kurapika gets lucky...
The phantasm begins to play, and Yamato watches it play out before him. ]

[ He smiles a little, glad to see that the spirits like Yamato enough that Kurapika doesn't have to leverage his being Central.
But ah, the illusion they're able to create of a great city that has long since crumbled... Kurapika looks around, stunned by it for a moment. ]
Magic in this world really is something, isn't it?
[ He's not going for the water just yet—he wants Yamato to be able to enjoy this too. ]

[ Anyway, yeah, this phantasm really is something... ]
It's shocking, how it went from this city to what it is now. It's a little sad, isn't it?

[ OH NO.... He's going to help Kurapika back up and hope he didn't take too much damage?? Hopefully some of the water cushioned it a bit. ]
You got too excited, didn't you?
no subject
I wasn't too excited. Don't say that.
[ Please. That's so embarrassing. ]

There.
no subject
Thanks. That should be enough, yeah? We should head back so you can dry off.

[ He holds the water up to the sun, watching it filter through. ]
I should be fine with a spell.
[ And he's clearly not worried about it, given the fact that he's just standing here looking at the water. ]
