<DeathStar> Okay
<DeathStar> Lets do this
<Seraphna> hey that was my snack

<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 12.14.5997 - 2 days later
<DeathStar> Location: Magi Tower
<DeathStar> 6* Having spent the past few days at the Magi Tower, Celes has spent a little bit of time with the magi, teaching and bringing her up, before leaving her with Delgi since she is still young, so that she can continue her education. Also allowing the few days to relax and go over whatever materials at the Tower that the team wishes to
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly reads a book on magik, wrinkling her forehead in thought
* Retrieving #TAW-Session392 modes...
<Seraphna> **Jaime peeks, presently messing with a small sculpture**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *has been in the magi library ever since their 'downtime' began, going over every bit of arcane lore she can find.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC is taking a break from helping research and is currently painting something off to the side of the main group.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan has mostly been taking a datapad and working out ways to get better readings on magical energy, but it's taking time.
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems to be copying some of the magik phrases*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon has continued his efforts to try and research links to the ancient bloodlines and the descendants, since that is the mission he was given.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *records everything she encounters into her PAN, crossreferencing it with the data she recorded at the Spiritualist library, seeking some unified truth or secret*
<DeathStar> *Selena studies Simon, arms behind her back*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses as he feels eyes on him and glances up.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes?
<DeathStar> *Celes comes in from outside, shaking some snow off of herself*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Just bored; watching you.
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session392
<Seraphna> Jaime> Think you can do it Momma? It seems a lot different from Summoning.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh? I hardly believe I'm all that interesting.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well you are looking into ancient bloodlines and I apparently have some ancient blood in me.
<DeathStar> <Selena> And we still do not fully know who these Ancients were.
<Sara> * Liana is reading one of her grandfather's books, also seemingly bored
<DeathStar> <Selena> Other than their ability to use spirit bond weapons and use certain abilities easier. *she muses, peering at Ellie*
<Sara> * Ellie blinks
<DeathStar> <Selena> Nothing. I'm sure it is nothing.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "..there has to be some arcane secret..." *goes to get another stack of books*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over at Ellie, then Selena** What's your though Sel?
<DeathStar> *Celes hangs up her coat on a coat hanger, peering outside at the snowy area of the Magi Village* <Celes> I doubt you will find many ancient books left here, Lana. Most were destroyed
<Seraphna> **Lana's study snack vanishes**
<Xanatos> <Simon> My biggest curiosity at the moment is why we each have various element natures. I'm certain whatever the reason for that would link to why the descendants can do what they can do as well.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Just it would be funny if Ellie had some ancient blood in her with how easily she and Sylph fused together. She was the first to do it. Everyone else mainly have to force it, and train to do it, but Ellie and Sylph did it so naturally
<DeathStar> *Sylph munches on fruit*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh well that... **She looks at her mother and whispers** Didn't that come about due to the Runes and stuff?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, but I'm learning so much! And there has to be a secret buried in their combined teachings!"
<DeathStar> *Erevis closes her eyes, closing her book* What do we have various elemental natures?
<Seraphna> *Jaime nods*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I suppose I could answer that somewhat
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances to Erevis curiously.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC peers over her painting at Erevis.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *snaps a finger* "More specifically why elements as described by the ancient Greeks?!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *produces the rune blade, running her hand along it, though it seems to be depowered since Erevis was depowered* The way I was taught it is the nature of the universe itself. The more I learn of it, the more I am not sure, but perhaps it comes from a source, maybe the tree, or maybe something greater
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But when one of us is born, we are gifted with an element that suits our nature. I have heard rumors of those who can wield more than one
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles softly** The one I know is that I'm Dark, even though I seem to get on well with Earth.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are beings out there, such as the spirits I suppose, who come into existence and are made up entirely of this element. Or in cases *she holds up a rune* runes of an element
<Xanatos> <Xan> One time we launched a big assault on the dark one homeworld and a number of us were granted vast elemental power based on our innate nature. But the power was granted through runes, we couldn't just do it like some of you can. It was fun though, ripping through stuff with mega wind powers.
<Sara> * Ellie bites into an apple, sitting by Sylph
<DeathStar> *Sylph hugs Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps the runes are our versions of the spirits
<DeathStar> *She notes to Xanatos*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Do you still have these runes?
<Seraphna> Jaime> What Momma is holding is one.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, they are all in this sword here. I have not been able to draw out the power as I once could
<DeathStar> *She holds out the Rune Blade, with all the runes in it*
<Xanatos> <Simon> May I? 6* He holds out his hand towards the blade.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But they still have some power. *she holds it out*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon takes it in his hand carefuly and observes it quietly, attempting to feel if there is any spiritual power within.
<Xanatos> <Xan> It really does feel like what we've had before and what this world has are two sides of the same coin, but we just haven't bridged the gap.
<Seraphna> **Jaime gets a look on her face and muses**
<DeathStar> *it is pretty similiar. They each of their own elements. The wind rune resonates with Sylph*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> It is odd at the coincidence.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have not had to rely on it or the Emerald Sword in decades
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No one has really requested the use of the runes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I just hold onto them so no one else can misuse them
<Xanatos> 6* Simon attempts to pull some of the ice energy from the rune, or at least see if it can get it to activate in some way.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to use it, you need to put it on your hand
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is the activation
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you want to use it through the sword, it takes a lot of power
<Seraphna> Jaime> Though only the rune that matches your element will work well with your body.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmmm..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh? It attaches to the skin? 6* He attempts to do that, just so he can feel how it may or may not be different from what he can naturally do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> One can wield all the elements through the sword but it will wear them down fast. It is why I have not attempted it in years
<DeathStar> *Simon would feel it pretty much like Celsius' power - almost like a Spirit itself*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at the Dark Rune** Was there something dangerous about the Dark Rune? Or am I remembering wrong?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are not wrong
<Sara> <Ellie> These people and their fancy swords. *she notes quietly and absentmindedly to Sylph, leaning against Rending Gale while taking another bite*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So I should probably not try it out? **she smiles shyly*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blink and holds the sword out toward Sylph
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sits down and flips through some books*
<DeathStar> *Sylph blinks* <Sylph> Sylph not know how to wield sword
<Sara> * Ellie blinks at Simon
<Xanatos> <Simon> Could you see if you sense spiritual energy in this rune? This energy feels exactly like Celcius to me.
<Xanatos> (Celsius)
<DeathStar> *Sylph pauses and takes the sword, comically falling over with it*
<Sara> <Ellie> Umm, hmm... *Ellie examines it*
<Seraphna> *Jaime gets up and walks over taking the wind rune out and holding it up to Sylph** Just check this.
<DeathStar> *Celes turns to peer back out the window at the varius Magi outside doing their various things with their familiars*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *puffs cheeks at Jaime and uses wind to lift the sword up and swings it around*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Sylph got this!
<DeathStar> *swings it around dangerously*
<Sara> * Ellie blinks and ducks down
<Xanatos> 6* Simon jerks, stepping back.
<DeathStar> <Selena> ... *she backs up*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hops back** U-Umm... yeah but we just... wanted you to check the rune...?
<DeathStar> *Sylph museS* Hm.... Interesting. Hm... Yes! It feels like us! *nod nods*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "H... hey! This is a library!:
<DeathStar> *a table gets cut by Lana in response*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Oops
<Sara> <Ellie> Sylphie... Honey... Perhaps that is enough time with the sword
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Aw
<DeathStar> *She sets it down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If I remember right... the Dark Rune was hard to control, and could do some bad things if not countered with the Holy Rune. **she pouts** Feels off to me though.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhhhhh....!"
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well, if Erevis does not mind, I will let Simon play with the runes. I think it is time to move onto the Great Forest.
<Seraphna> **Jaime perks up** Really!?
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods to Simon* I will let you hold onto them
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Thank you.
<DeathStar> *Sylph studies the Wind Rune curiously*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *knocking on it and holdign it up to her ear*
<DeathStar> *Gwen pats Lana*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Your work with the youngster descendant is finished? 6* He askes Celes.
<Sara> * Ellie quietly moves Rending Gale from the side of her body closer to Sylph, to the side further away from Sylph
<DeathStar> *Selena packs her bags*
<Seraphna> **Jaime spins, showing a far giddier side to herself than she normally lets on**
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. Linnet will continue to learn here. We have the documents from her room and once back at the castle we'll go over all the documents
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...a few feet more... that would have killed me!" *faints*
<DeathStar> *Gwen slings Lana over his shoulders with ease, surprisingly*
<DeathStar> *Sylph picks Fae up and peers at Ellie, tilting her head innocently*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well then, time to hit the dusty trail. 6* He says in a cowboy accent, tipping his imaginary cowboy hat to Erevis.
<Sara> * Ellie returns the expression
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC nods to Xan and Erevis and leans down, grabbing her gear bag.
<DeathStar> *Sylph eats her apple*
<DeathStar> *Sylph prepares to warp them all* It is time to see my sister, Gnomey
<Seraphna> **Jaime squees**
<Sara> <Ellie> Oh, okay.
<Seraphna> **Alita silently joins the rest**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon makes sure all the runes are accounted for and back on the sword.
<DeathStar> *Sylph warps them and they appear in the warm area, despite being winter time, of the Great Forest*
<Seraphna> **Jaime shifts her clothing into a loose gown that breathes easily and looks about happily** Gnome~ we're here~
<DeathStar> *The giant trees cover the sky, mostly, and the Ent and Venus people move about in the capital of it, doing their thing. It seems to be a typical day, though there is more guards about at the entrances*
<DeathStar> *Erevis pulls some of the winter layers off, and shakes her long hair. Selena does the same and looks bemused* <Selena> I forget how humid this place is
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mmmm... wh... what? Where did the library go?"
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC peers around at the giant trees, a look of awe on her face hidden by it's neutral look.
<DeathStar> *Gwen sets her down* <Gwen> Trees grew up over a hundred years you slept
<DeathStar> *Sylph flies off with Fae to find Gnome*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon lets out a breath, the ice that was on his skin melting immediately, the steam rising into the air.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Whaaaaa?!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime takes off her boots and puts them away, setting bare feet into the grass, letting out a sigh of happiness** So would you like to see the rulers or Gnome first? **there is no bias in her voice, nope**
<DeathStar> <Celes> I suppose I should go greet Leaf and Cassava. *she nods to the others, moving to their tree*
<Sara> * Ellie blinks as she watches her wife and daughter take off just as quickly as they had arrived
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I suppose, for Jaime's sake, I will go see Gnome
<DeathStar> *Erevis notes*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles and starts leading her there, not really needing to search**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan takes his gloves off and places them in his pockets, then pulls the jacket off, carefully folding it over his arm before moving after Erevis and Jaime.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon walks after Celes.
<DeathStar> *Selena casually muses and wanders off in another direction*
<DeathStar> *Gwen follows after Erevis and company*
<Seraphna> **Alita shrugs and follows after Erevis and company as well**
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC moves after Erevis' group.
<Jackieness> <Lana> , presumably back on her feet, follows the others*
<Sara> * Ellie blinks, following after Selena when she notices her breaking off in her own direction
<DeathStar> *Gnome is there at her giant tree, thinking*
<DeathStar> *Selena seems to be talking to the guards, asking why there are so many*
<DeathStar> *Celes nods to Leaf and Cassava. The Ent and Venus move over and nod to Simon and Celes* Ah, welcome. It is nice to see you here.
<Seraphna> **Jaime slides in to hug on Gnome** Hey love! What's up?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Just observing
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks a bit** Observing what? **she looks where she's looking**
<DeathStar> <Celes> We are here for our next time. *she explains coming here to try to find the final descendant hopefully who vanished into the Great Forest and they have no real leads. Both leaders glance at each other*
<DeathStar> *Gnome points at the center of the village*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon bows his head in greeting. Meanwhile Xan sniffs a leaf as he waits, then jerks and makes a face, squinting at it.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over curiously**
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts her head at Xanatos, blank faced*
<DeathStar> <Leaf> I am not sure if I am aware of what you are talkign about. *The Venus leader shrugs as well*
<DeathStar> <Guard 1> There has been a high rise of monsters lately so we are rising guards and patrols
<DeathStar> <Guard 2> Please do not step out without escorts or others
<DeathStar> *Selena muses, nodding and stepping away, not noticing Ellie yet. She seems to be musing trying to sneak out of the village now*
<DeathStar> *Sylph climbs up Gnome's head in tiny fairy form to look, too*
<Sara> * Ellie blinks, just watching and wondering what she's doing
<Xanatos> <Simon> You don't remember Celes' group being here before?
<Ariel> * Towards the center of town, a small grouping of locals have gathered around a human girl. It's hard to tell exactly what she's doing at a distance, but there are a lot of flourishes, and she seems to be holding the crowd's attention.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> I remember Celes. I just don't recall such an Ancient hero ever being here. We Ents have been here forever
<DeathStar> <CAssava> And Venus
<Xanatos> <Simon> Ah, I see. I apologize for my confusion.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Jaime did you bring Kane's girl again?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> SPeaking of which - where is she?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> As you can see, it is rare for a human to come this far into the Great Forest
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Well, o-outside Jaime and you all
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well I did bring her here. She got a bunch of monster samples to study.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah. I just thought I saw her in the Magi Tower the other day
<Seraphna> *Jaime nods** You did! Brought her back with me. I'll probably ferry her back soon but she had a few things she wanted to look into.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I cannot easily make out who it is, not that I expect to recognize them.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances to Celes.
<DeathStar> *Selena seems to be peering at the human girl and moves over to watch with the plant people*
<Sara> * Ellie moves in behind Selena, trying to get a closer look
<DeathStar> *Celes muses* Well, the information o nthe last descendant is scarce. We do not even know what race they were, to be honest
<Xanatos> <Simon> Humans aren't particularly common here. Could it be an Ent or Venus that we're looking for?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *fans herself with a hand* "I totally did not dress for the climate."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Just that they came into the Great Forest. So it is possible
<Seraphna> Jaime> Maybe we should go greet this girl?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan wanders off to see who they're crowding around in the square.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> I will see if I can try to find some information. <Cassava> Maybe Gnome will know more?
<DeathStar> *Celes nods and the two leaders move off, hand in hand*
<Ariel> <Girl> *absently shuffles a deck of cards* "...but the great beast was upon her, and the princess..." *she takes the deck in one hand, and a card jumps out of the deck to her free hand* "...couldn't hide from it's endless chase..."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon watches them go, tilting his head curiously.
<DeathStar> *Celes turns to eye the commotion in the center, with the Ents and Venus people watching the show*
<Sara> <Ellie> What's going on? *she audibly asks Selena as she peeks over her shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I think it's a card show?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmm? Oh, it looks like a magic show."
<Seraphna> **Jaime picks up Gnome and grins, moving to slide along the ground over to the crowd**
<DeathStar> *The Ends clap, one uses a vine to try to get a better vantage*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> H-Hey..~
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Magik tricks are sexy. *she nods*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh yeah, everyone's here now so we can get married you know~
<DeathStar> <Gnome> *flusters* You want to do it now?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Race relations seem to be better here. I am glad. 6* He notes after a bit before turning to glance at the commotion.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess we'll give it a bit for whatever this is to clear up, but yes.
<Ariel> <Girl> "...she knew that if it caught her, it would be the end..." She makes the deck vanish with a wave of her hand, and takes the single face card in both hands, ripping the card in two.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well when the two opposition leaders are in love it helps. Just hope they do not have a falling out
<Sara> <Ellie> Huh...
<DeathStar> *Selena seems to be trying to follow it* It almost reminds me a little like a show you might see on Hapian streets. Maybe. I only got to see a show once when I was little. I think... *She tries to recall*
<Xanatos> <Simon> That would be...troubling. I suspect I would get sent in with the Alliance to foster peaceful negotiations.
<Seraphna> **Jaime slides up, weaving through any Ents not moving for Gnome, if that even happens, and gives her a better view**
<Ariel> <Girl> *holds the card pieces in one hand* "The end would be inevitable. She could not run. She could not hide..." *she lets the card fragments fall to the table* "...she could only face the end with faith."
<Sara> <Ellie> I never saw any... too much time in the forests, I guess... *she admits*
<DeathStar> *The Ent and Venus lean in*
<DeathStar> *Sylph rides on Gnome's head and looks left, then right*
<Ariel> <Girl> "But... I promised you a happy story. And this..." She gestures to the confetti of a card. "...is not a happy end."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks a bit, tilting her head**
<DeathStar> <Celes> So. *she turns to Simon* I guess while this is going on we can do the scanning thing with everyone in one place at least
<DeathStar> <Celes> Just in case
<DeathStar> *Gwen seems to be musing* Is this magik? I'm confused
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I thought magik was making fire or ice
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh! Brilliant idea. 6* He begins to do the incantation for the location spell.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan shows Erevis how he can pull his thumb off of his other hand with 'magic'
<Ariel> <Girl> "For even as the red beast hunted the princess down, she never forgot those who she stood to save... and those who thought of her even as she stared into the burning eyes of the beast." *She gestures to the paper that now starts to smoke*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *golf claps*
<DeathStar> <ent> *they back up a bit*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "It is stage magic.:"
<DeathStar> *Simon gets no hits from this group. And there's a rather large group here.*
<Seraphna> *Jaime looks at the ents, then the girl, wondering if she'll need to intervene since she knows how the Ents feel about fire.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon shakes his no after a bit to Celes as he slowly moves around the group.
<DeathStar> *Celes makes notes, seeing no one major they know in this group*
<Sara> * Ellie tries to lean in even closer but trips and falls on Selena
<DeathStar> *Selena makes a surprised sound and falls over herself*
<Ariel> <Girl> *puts her hands over the card, as if to hold in the smoke* "She was stronger than the flames, even as they tricked to sear her skin and burn her clothes. And the wishes of her people were so strong, that no darkness would hold her down. Until..." *the girl steps back suddenly, reveiling, where the card was previously, a crystal sapphire butterfly, which flutters off* "...the
<Ariel> magic of their love transformed the girl, and lifted her far beyond the reach of the evil king and his red beast."
<DeathStar> *the ents and venus clap*
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles at that and giggles, whispering to Gnome** She knows how to please the crowd it seems.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am impressed. Unlike your trick
<Sara> <Ellie> ... Did she summon that butterfly, or is it just a silly illusion? *she muses*
<DeathStar> <selena> All I am seeing is your beasts
<Xanatos> <Xan> You just wait till I find all those coins in your ear.
<DeathStar> *Selena notes*
<Sara> <Ellie> H-Huh?
<DeathStar> *Selena notes, Ellie having fallen on her*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC tilts her head slightly at the girls' finish.
<Seraphna> **Jaime walks over smiling at the girl** Hello, I'm Jaime. That was pretty neat.
<Sara> * Ellie jerks, gets off of Selena, and sits up
<Seraphna> Jaime> And this is Gnome and Sylph.
<DeathStar> *Selena sits up, too, blushing. Gnome walks over*
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Thank you for performing for my Ents and Venus.
<DeathStar> *The Earth Spirit bows - she is a small spirit in height. Sylph lands in grows from her pixie size and claps*
<Ariel> * The girl smiles, and curtseys, "It was a pleasure. I'm happy to be able to see the forest. Everything is so... alive here."
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Yes. I love nature. <Sylph> Same. *The Wind Spirit grabs some fruit to eat*
<DeathStar> *The Ent and Venus seem to be discussing the trick. Erevis moves over to Celes and Simon*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So should we find a place to stay while we do our thing?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> We are still looking into who the descendant might be. Leaf and Cassava have no memory of such a thing. It might be too much to hope one of them could be it.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. We will have a place to stay. *She points at the top levels* We can either stay up top or on ground level
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not many humans come out here... especially with the monsters on the rise. I'm glad you made it all the way here.
<DeathStar> *Erevis whispers to Xanatos* I need to go for a bit to set some stuff up. *she casually takes Gnome and moves off with her*
<Ariel> <Girl> "Oh, no village is too far, and no planet too dangerous, for the Magnificant Mystical Nicolette." She giggles. "It is not as if I had to face the Black King and the Red Beast, myself."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods
<DeathStar> *Gnome pauses and waves at the girl* I-I will return
<Seraphna> *Jaime blinks at her mom stealing her girlfriend, but trusts things will be well.**
<DeathStar> <Sylph> So the Red Beast is real?
<DeathStar> *she munches on more grapes*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon seems to be distracted as he considers what sort of magik would create a crystal butterfly.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's quite a name... mind if I just call you Nicole?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *holds up a finger* "WAS real. Or, at least, I've not heard of it ressurecting any time recently."
<DeathStar> *Leaf comes up, holding a spectre, the Ent adjusting her leaf hair. She smiles at Nicolette* My people have enjoyed your show. *she turns to the others* Please come with me
<Sara> * Ellie exchanges a look with Selena
<DeathStar> *she includes Nicolette, too*
<DeathStar> *Selena muses on that*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC nods to Leaf and moves after her
<Xanatos> 6* Simon and Xan both fall in line after Celes and Leaf
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and slides just a bit to catch up to Leaf and then walks normally with her**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...hm? Me too? Oh, wow... I'm not going to refuse an invitation like that!" She quickly knocks out the feet from under her table, and it collapses in on itself, folding into what looks like a school child's backpack.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Leaf> Of course, you a guest of honor
<DeathStar> <Leaf> Anyone who would come here and perform and bring some enjoyment to my and Cassava's people is a friend.
<DeathStar> *Cassava leads them up to the upper levels, (see the http://www.thealienwars.com/TAW6/Duality/Info/LifeG.php Great Forest section) walking along the upper levels. These days there is no nobility section anymore really
<Seraphna> **Jaime walks along with Leaf and talks quietly** Any new monster attacks?
<DeathStar> 6* These days though the fancier sections have been reformed and made a bit, but are open to all. There is a room for them in the treetops and Leaf shows them to it, with a view of the city
<DeathStar> <Leaf> Yes. But we are doing patrols to control them. But please do not go out alone
<DeathStar> *Selena looks around the rooms, with fruit in each of them for them*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Of course. Though... I made a discovery when we went for samples.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> Oh?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It seems my new little ability can momentarily calm and confuse them.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmm... how does your ability work?"
<DeathStar> *Leaf pauses and studies Jaime* Becareful, Jaime. Everything is a double edge sword. Remember that
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods a bit** Yeah... overusing it does have some drawbacks.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> *she turns to the others* There will be a tree ceremony in a few hours - all are welcome. *so Simon* We are also opening the archives to you to help find your descendant
<DeathStar> <Leaf> I hope it helps.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> *she steps out ,leaving them all in their rooms*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Tree Ceremony?
<DeathStar> *Leaf peers back* Our Earth Spirit is getting wed
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I was too small for them to bother me, but... some of the other people I saw on the road... well, travelling is definitely harder these days."
<Seraphna> **Jaime blushes a the ceremony comment.** I'm umm... getting married.
<DeathStar> *Selena touches the leafy beds*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tilts his head, looking around confused for a moment.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, I have to go to the archives!:
<Sara> <Ellie> At least there's no shortage of fruit. *she notes out loud*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I'm aware that you are. I just didn't know they used the term Tree Ceremony in place of wedding.
<DeathStar> <Selena> There are so many kinds of monsters. Some want to eat you, some want to kill you, some want you for... other reasons. I still do not even know where monsters come from. This Earth does not have monsters. Or Kumen
<DeathStar> <Selena> It makes no sense
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's Gnome's preferred time to have the ceremony, it's sacred.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses at Selena's comments, getting that look again and wondering**
<DeathStar> <Celes> Monsters have been around since before I was born so I have not even considered it
<Sara> <Liana> Of course grandpa made sure that most types of monsters were well-documented... in his own way
<Seraphna> Jaime> I have theories but... it'll sound way too far out till I get more information.
<DeathStar> *An Ent guide leads Lana to the archives*
<DeathStar> <Selena> *eyes Jaime at that*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC glances at Jaime. 1"And what are they?"
<DeathStar> *Sylph noms on fruit* Monsters are people who did not like fruit I bet
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Monster fact
<Jackieness> <Lana> *heads to the archives*
<Sara> <Ellie> Or is that just what you think of people who don't like fruit, Sylphie?
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> You can't call it a Monster Fact after you say I bet.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Well they are monsters if they do not like fruit
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay... well... **she sighs** A lot about Geyze reminds me of some games I played as a kid.
<Sara> <Ellie> Technically you can bet on facts. It'd be more troublesome if you better against facts.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Games?
<Sara> betted*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hmm... a lot of monsters are carnevores, and those don't tend to like fruit, so..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Video Games... they're these things we played to explore stories like books but... more hands on?
<DeathStar> *Lana is led to into a tree trunk and underground where she finds weird plants*
<DeathStar> <Ent> There you go
<Sara> <Ellie> ... Magic girl has a point.
<Sara> <Ellie> Nicolette, right? I'm Ellie.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well... considering what we learned at Yggdrassil, I have to wonder if Geyze doesn't have some game like qualities to it.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Pleased to meet you."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> So you think this world's Monsters are based on a video game principle?
<Seraphna> Jaime> *nods* A fantasy world needs monsters.
<Sara> <Ellie> AndthisisSylph. *she gestures to Sylph, as if spirits need introductions*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *waves at Nicolette* Sylph is all about games. Will play a game where she hides the Jaime
<Seraphna> Jaime> We've seen what the human subconcious creates when worlds and universes are built. What with the Gods and Monster World and the other places that were formed with Reality Power.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh, disappearing acts are always fun!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> You don't think it was just evolution gone awry? 6* He asks Jaime
<Seraphna> **Jaime shakes her head** Any more than I think our existence is Evolution gone awry... we KNOW where we came from after all.
<Seraphna> *Jaime is working very hard to point out that her twin brother was the one in the machine**
<Seraphna> **to not point out
<DeathStar> *The Ent walks out, leaving lana with the weird plants*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Someone who was into video games could've made something like this I suppose. Not an insane idea.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Sylph feels like she is being insulted somehow
<DeathStar> *she notes, listening to them*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> Not one that I would carelessly throw around considering the implications.
<Seraphna> Jaime> You shouldn't... you're very real... and I love this world.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK.... soooo.. umm... how do I read anything here?"
<DeathStar> <Ent> Read? This is the archives.
<DeathStar> <Ent> You put the plant on your head
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "So... this world was made by someone who likes games? Wow, that's not a story I've heard before."
<Seraphna> Alita> Well...
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *crosses arms* Hm. Sylph thinks you all are silly
<Xanatos> <Xan> The reality powers create worlds, you're just as real as we are if that is what happened.
<Seraphna> Alita> In the past, when major things happened in our world, something very strange happened.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Whoa, trippy." *walks over ato a plant and tries earing it like a hat*
<Sara> <Ellie> Kinda trivializing our whole lives if you just call our world a game even in jest. I'll have to re-evaluate you.
<Seraphna> Alita> We would see... numbers and letters, scattered about. Like the world around us was breaking and words were underneath.
<Seraphna> **Jaime rubs the back of her head** Told you it'd seem out there and wrong... sorry...
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm, I have been to a place that is supposedly the hub between world. We got a girl, Kaori, to help us with an issue we were having.
<Xanatos> <Simon> It was my understand that yes we were created, just like earth and this new galaxy we are in was also created.
<Xanatos> (understanding)
<Seraphna> *Jaime nods.** Our Galaxy was created with reality powers and the wishes of another reality.
<Seraphna> Jaime> My Mom was there... or a version of her, that detail is a bit unclear from what I heard from others.
<DeathStar> *Sylph picks up Fae, covering her ears* You can believe what you wish
<Sara> * Ellie rubs her temples
<DeathStar> <Sylph> But she wishes you will not discuss such things like this with her around.
<DeathStar> *She steps out*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sighs and sits** Not a matter of belief, what I believe in is the spirits and the goodness of this world.
<DeathStar> *Celes peers at Nicolette> Well. Would you like to see more of the city with me?
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** I suppose it is easier to believe such strange things if you grew up being told them.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Hm? Oh, sure! That's one of the best things about travelling. New people and new places."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I don't recall growing up.
<Sara> <Liana> Then we'll gladly take you. Oh, um... Liana Hapian. And this of course is my wife Celes.
<DeathStar> *Celes and Selena stand up and lead her outside* <Selena> Selena Hapian. Their daughter
<Xanatos> <Simon> I confess I don't understand the issue with the theory. Though like I said my experiences color that. I would likely be the same otherwise.
<Sara> * Liana follows them out
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was probably better not saying anything, but... it keeps coming up.
<DeathStar> *Lana would find herself inside a strange plant, almost like she was in a tripy acid trip, and able to relive information stored in the plant's "memory"*
<DeathStar> *able to access*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...wow... cooooool..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Do not worry. Be true to yourself and what you believe. 6* Steps off to explore the area, likely to do small spot checks for the descendant.
<Ariel> * Nicolette almost trips, "Wait, Hapian? As in, not just being from there?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and rises, then goes to get ready for the ceremony**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pats Jaime and gives her a smile, walking to escort her.
<Seraphna> **Jaime blushes, smiling back and walking with him**
<Sara> * Liana's eyes glance downward for a moment, her expression modest. "N-No, but we're just people, too. Personally, I'm just an adventurer and a writer, at the end of the day."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **once it's just them** I didn't want to mention that it's Jamie who built it all... it explains so much as to why some things are happening around us.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC makes her way outside to take in the view
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I... wow. Just... wow. I had jitters knowing that Gnome was going to be seeing my show, but to also meet... wow."
<Sara> <Liana> The honor is ours, I assure you. Meeting new people is always an adventure in itself.
<Sara> <Liana> Right, love?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah, Simon also mentioned Kaori and the only thing I know about her is she likes video games, so maybe there's some influence there.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Of course. Besides, it is not like I'm that impressive. I have only been Queen for a few years now
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "That doesn't make it any less impressive! I've only been a performer for about ten years, and I'm just happy to keep people guessing if I'm using magic or Magic." *looks about 16 or so*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Plus... I dunno, since I've gotten here, I've felt at home. Like I was meant to be here, or the other way around. I guess that sounds really silly though.
<DeathStar> <Celes> To start at a such young age
<DeathStar> <Celes> That is dedication
<Sara> <Liana> *gives a playful smile* Well... which is it? *she asks, curious to see what kind of response she'll get, knowing perfectly well that it won't be a straight answer*
<DeathStar> *Erevis, Sylph, and Gnome stand before the largest tree in the Great Forest. Sylph seems to be animatedly talking to Gnome about something, looking annoyed*
<Xanatos> <Xan> That may just be simply finding your place. I spent years trying to do the same.
<Sara> <Liana> That's weird. Sylph looks ticked off. *she points as they are walking*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over and looks a tad worried at Sylph looking like that** Y-Yeah...
<DeathStar> <Celes> It is unusual.
<Seraphna> **Jaime moves over**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *laughs* "Well, that wouold be telling, now wouldn't it? But does it matter, as long as it leaves the audience with a real sense of wonder?"
<Sara> <Liana> I suppose not. For what it's worth, I started learning to use a sword pretty young, too. My grandpa wouldn't have it any other way. Isn't it nice to know what you want to do so early?
<DeathStar> <Selena> *looks sheepish*
<DeathStar> *Sylph quiets when Jaime arrives and moves to take her position* <Gnome> Jaime
<Seraphna> Jaime> Gnome... **she smiles warmly, losing much ability to be worried at the sight of her properly and moves to her**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *smiles nervously* "Ah... I didn't know so early. It just kinda... hit me, one day. That I wanted to do something to make people smile."
<Sara> * Liana smiles warmly, accepting that without question
<DeathStar> *the tree has been decorated with flowers and Sylph stands there, wearing her typical outfit. Gnome has a beautiful earthy gown* <Gnome> You're a bit early
<Seraphna> Jaime> You look amazing in that...
<Xanatos> 6* Xan steps to Erevis' side. Simon arrive a little late, eating on a piece of fruit.
<DeathStar> <Selena> So you just travel from place to place and do magik?
<DeathStar> *Selena arrives at the tree to watch, arms crossed*
<DeathStar> *Leaf arrives and pulls out a leaf with text on it, somehow*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC finally arrives, probably after asking questions on where to go and stands in the back.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> Thank you all for coming to stand beneath the Great Tree. *many Ents and Venus arrive.. Leaf begins to speak in another language from the Leaf, peering at the two and motioning at them, throwing some power on both of them and making symbols so they both glow*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, blushing and gently taking Gnome's hand**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Oh... mostly. I just try to make life a little easier for people who have it hard. The world can be harsh, and it's getting dangerous."
<DeathStar> <Leaf> *then smudges some mud on each of their foreheads, continuing* Now, I will speak this in the language all can understand. You two stand under the tree. Your union is everlasting and cannon be breaking. IF any objects to this, or thinks it should not be tied, speak now or allow it to be tied forever
<DeathStar> <Sylph> ... *peers to the side, then at the two*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks at Gnome lovingly, with true care in her eyes**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan seems to be staring at Sylph.
<DeathStar> <Leaf> Then kiss and seal this union
<Seraphna> *Jaime leans down and kisses Gnome**
<DeathStar> *Gnome returns the kiss*
<DeathStar> *Leaf smiles and hugs the two and everyone moves off to celebrate*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well. *she peers at her mothers and Nicolette* Today has been eventful
<DeathStar> *Sylph picks up Fae and wiggles her, moving of*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hugs back, then nuzzles Gnome** I know I offended Sylph, I'll make it right with her, promise.
<Sara> <Liana> I wonder if Gnome is making the right choice here
<DeathStar> <Gnome> I would leave it alone. *she notes softly* Who knows what is right?
<DeathStar> *Gnome tkaes her hand* Let us go enjoy the celebrations
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeezes her hand gently and nods** Okay.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well, they will be together a very long time to figure it out.
<DeathStar> <Celes> But at least for us there will be al ot of people together to check out over next few days
<DeathStar> -END-
