Ever since they beat the Abyss, Chasca noticed a whole lot of merchandise pop up based on Aether. Today, as she wandered the marketplace, she spotted twelve different stalls selling commemorative Aether dinner plates, fifteen stalls selling Aether action figures, and thirty-six stalls selling Aether body pillows. Everything Aether-related was selling like hot cakes.
Chasca paused when she spotted those bizarre "Well, it ain't gonna suck itself" Aether cups. The straws had been placed in a very phallic position. It alarmed her just how many young women were lining up to buy the cups.
Well, whatever. Chasca lowered the brim of her hat and hurried along.
In the center of the commercial district, some Fontaine engineers set up a white screen to showcase the marvels of cinema. Of course, Natlan had seen movies—everyone loved Little One's Gojira films. But they didn't exactly have a movie theater like Fontaine, so they only got to see any movies when the stars aligned.
The reel started. There was a number countdown before an image appeared on screen.
It was Aether. He danced with the dudes: Itto, Kaeya, Gaming, Venti, Kazuha, Tartaglia, and Lyney. They were singing that song from the concert, "I Want It That Way." They hit their final poses. Then, Venti suggested they take a water break. The dudes rehydrated and ran the number again.
The man presenting the film grinned at the audience of starry-eyed young women.
"We obtained this rare film courtesy of some very determined reporters. If you want a copy, you'll have to preorder while supplies last."
Chasca promptly shut down the markets, citing a potential health hazard, and confiscated every film reel. She then brought the films to the UHA secret vault and secured them along with the other Aether memorabilia. After some thought, she returned and got the sippy cups for good measure.
