[Video] [RE: Waking Tu Vishan, Open Discussion Between Foreigners & Kedan]

[purered]

Good evening, everyone.

We have presently been on the shores of Tavimbi for approximately five months and in this time, Tu Vishan has shown signs of waking. Though, as I am sure you know, he remains unconscious.

I propose that we take the next steps in waking him. There have been attempts in the past to contact and awaken him, and though a link was temporarily established not once, but twice, and though Tu Vishan stirred, the link was shortly thereafter broken. I have hypothesized that the reason being was a lack of power, a lack of psychic compatibility, or a possible combination of both.

As some may know, I have been considering the possibility of utilizing the Xunetane for the very purpose of lending a power source and stabilizer to those able to make a psychic or magical connection.

In recent months, Mr Kenobi, his compatriots, the Metalworkers, Miss Valdis, myself and several others have found links between Tu Vishan's energy signature and the one given off by the Xunetane and the associated 'Truth' crystals. Charako has kindly permitted this under the condition that she be there to monitor the energy levels so that nothing... explodes.

[There's a small quirk of a smile at this, as though he'd even consider attempting to use a giant powerful magic rock without the help of Charako's expertise.]

I have also approached the heads of the families about this matter. For now, they have agreed.

I would ask that we set aside present dilemmas, at least as far as the waking of Tu Vishan is concerned, and work together - both Kedan and foreigner. Here we can finalize the details, as well as formulate contingency plans and alternate solutions. I believe all of us are united in the desire to see Tu Vishan awake and healthy.

Thank you, and I bid you all a lovely evening.

Why do we want to wake the turtle?

[forgediron]

For one thing, we'd be able to go somewhere tropical and warm over summer. And being able to rely on regular trading schedules is always nice.

[justno]

Yeah, alright. I might know a way.

[forgediron]

With or without the turtle awake?

[justno]

I mean I might be able to help wake it up. Wouldn't be the first time I entered someone's dreams when they were under a forced sleep.

[purered]

Could you expand further on your abilities?

[justno]

Not to someone I don't know.

[purered]

I can understand the sentiment. Would you be willing to discuss the matter privately at least?

[justno]

How about you privately give me your name and tell me how the hell you got involved? Then we can talk about me.

[purered]

Ah, my apologies. I am Klaus Reinherz. I got involved with this matter about [He ponders for a moment] ...a little less than a year back - first in regards to moving Tu Vishan when he was sinking, and then looking for a possible means to wake him. My own search crossed paths with like-minded foreigners and the Metal Workers.

[justno]

You got any powers, abilities, anything?

[forgediron]

Wouldn't be the first one to try and enter the turtle's head, either. Last time, they blew out all the lights and didn't get far. Won't be much fun for you if your lights go out.

[justno]

What could they do?

[forgediron]

Dunno. The old nightmare's the only one who's managed to get into a continent's head.

[justno]

Never know until we try.

[forgediron]

[She laughs.]

I like you. You've got gumption. We can make sure you've got a bed in the Guild's permanent ward, just in case, if that makes you feel any better.

[purered]

Because him waking would be greatly beneficial to the Kedan, and a possible detriment to the cultists.

[justno]

Kedan good, cultists bad. Is that it?

[purered]

You do seem to have the gist of it.

[justno]

What do the cultists believe?

[purered]

For simplicity's sake, 'Malicant is good'.

[justno]

And that's bad.

[purered]

Exceedingly.

[justno]

I thought Malicant's gone.

[purered]

He is, though much of his influence remains.
