OOC:
  • Grey - Yorda
  • Blue - China


[The feed comes on and there is Yorda and China Sorrows. The former looks a bit apprehensive and the latter about as pleasantly inscrutable as ever.]

Hello. There is something important that we have to tell you.

We have seen what the cultists have done to the other kedan. They are able to make stones that contain their lives, and pushed them beyond Death and Dreaming. All doors open both ways and they have crossed into the places we came from.

This is something they have hoped to do, something ordered of them. We have seen this.


[She looks to China, hoping that this is correct. China inclines her head briefly, indulgent, and takes over.]

Suffice to say that while something seems to have gone awry with their experiments, the goal appears to have been moving kedan across planes. While it hasn't been done again, our information implies that those who have gone have not come back, and I doubt they plan to abandon their goal.

I shouldn't have to tell any of you that this is a problem. As much as it goes against my nature to suggest the free trade of information, it may be beneficial to pool knowledge and resources to see if there isn't something to be done about cultists toying with lives and planes as they please.


[Yorda gives a small nod of agreement.]

...For the Kedan whose friends have gone missing... I am sorry this has happened to you.

Mm. The Emperor who designed it reportedly did so to summon 'heroes' for the war.

One of those she summoned killed her, or so the story goes, so evidently she was less than careful with her criteria.

[She smiles at him.]

I suppose that qualifies as an exchange of services, yes. There may be some debate about equivalency.

[No promises will be made on the crazy front.]

What is it about your magic that has you so possessive, I wonder?

[She has to wonder if it can be lost, unlike her own.]
justno: (say what)

Heroes ain't all good people.

[He shrugs, because it makes sense to draw the important and courageous people in, especially if it's for a war. It's not entirely unlike Jane and the Dean choosing them to fight The Beast.]

I didn't learn how to use magic to sell it off to the highest bidder.
inkulcation: (over there)

We'd like to believe they are.

[It would make life so much simpler. But much of her experience with heroes, self-styled and otherwise, suggests otherwise.]

Why did you learn magic, then?
justno: (hell no)

Naive and ignorant people like to believe they are.

And because I wanted to.

[Such linefacing. He doesn't want to make anything too easy.]
inkulcation: (ah. hm.)

Naive and ignorant people are the only ones who can, perhaps.

It would be a simpler world.

[She doesn't sound particularly mournful for it.]

Well enough, then. There are worse reasons.
justno: (haha okay crazy pants)

You mean stupider.

[He chuckles a little with the thought and drops the subject of his magic for now.]
inkulcation: (just a little)

I'm hardly going to argue with you there, darling.

[A light sigh, which is more drama than the concept deserves.]

Romanticism only goes so far.
justno: (im listening)

[personal profile] justno 2016-09-16 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
And you ain't a romantic.
inkulcation: (you're adorable)

Certainly not by any definition I've ever heard.
justno: (until you pass out and then again when y)

That's good to know.
inkulcation: (then she smiled)

[And she smiles.]

It's been a pleasure to meet you, my dear. Was there anything else?
inkulcation: (i know what i'm doing)

You're the one who had questions to begin with, after all. And I'm hardly a mind-reader.
