That's the most original idea for an FF crossover I've seen in a long time. The machina made a plausible enough reason, and the present tense really seems to work great. Definitely looking forward to the next chapters.

Well done, keep at it! Really enjoyed this and thought it was well written and really imaginative! Will there be a sequel?

That's fun. Gippal would be a fun thing to find appearing on your grounds...

M... there's some kind of a problem with the other story you posted, the one that mentiones falling through a plothole and off of barstools? I can't access it for some reason...
