A Mirror Shall Pay the Price

From Caelwiki

[17:10] <>Ambiance<> The edge of limbo encroaches rapidly upon the abode

[17:10] <Dyn> "Simple steel, simple silver. No magic."

[17:11] * Xilix stands up reflexively, "Hm?"

[17:11] * Rimblade glares at Dyn.

[17:11] <Dyn> "Stop that. You cannot glare- you lack the sight."

[17:11] * Nick looks up..."Well there goes my arm..."

[17:11] * Xilix walks into the main room, and out the window, "What is that?"

[17:12] <Dyn> "If I had to guess, I'd say that..."

[17:12] <Xilix> ( looks out the window* )

[17:12] <Rimblade> "The edge of Limbo is encroaching on the ABODE!!!"

[17:12] <Dyn> "Ahem. Yes, that was it."

[17:13] <Rimblade> Er... that good or bad?

[17:13] * Damsel wakes up to the increased activity of the others. She looks around somewhat blearily as she waits for herself to come more fully awake.

[17:13] <Dyn> "Gad."

[17:13] * Joins: Deathbringer (duelmaster@Caelestia-650F41A8.kc.res.rr.com)

[17:14] <>Ambiance<> A shadowy figure emerges from the mist

[17:14] * Dyn turns to Damsel, and lifts an eyebrow.

[17:14] * Xilix looks at the figure, "Wha-?"

[17:14] * Deathbringer wanders in.

[17:14] * Nick looks at Xilix "Get away from the windows...

[17:14] <Nick> "

[17:15] * Elaith remains in his spot against the wall, but pauses working.

[17:15] <Rimblade> Everyone, this is very, very important.

[17:15] * Damsel is sits up quickly, startlement clearing the remnants of sleep from her mind. "Harbringer...?"

[17:15] <Rimblade> Panic at once.

[17:15] <Nick> ((exactly xD))

[17:15] <Deathbringer> Hm... looks like today will be an interesting one.

[17:15] <Dyn> "As opposed to what we're doing now?"

[17:16] * Xilix backs away from the window, and turns to the figure

[17:16] <Harbringer> We are the edge of time. We are the Harbringer of things to come.

[17:16] <Rimblade> Oh. It's just the Harbringer. Never mind.

[17:16] * Xilix raises a brow out of curiosity.

[17:16] * Nick gets up and dusts off.

[17:17] * Dyn raises three brows, out of considerably more curiousity.

[17:17] * Deathbringer takes his normal spot against the wall.

[17:17] <Xilix> ( THree? O.o )

[17:17] * Rimblade nudges Dyn.

[17:17] <Rimblade> "You've only got two. Stopit."

[17:17] * Deathbringer grins.

[17:17] <Damsel> "Why have you come again?"

[17:17] <Nick> ((and they sayd Dyn's Eyebrows raised three times that day...))

[17:18] <Xilix> ( lol )

[17:18] <Nick> ((Watching the Grinch :) ))

[17:20] * Quits: Dyn (Dyn@Caelestia-7A5F3A6E.cap.east.verizon.net ) (Ping timeout )

[17:20] <Harbringer> Past echos depart. Future echos begin.

[17:20] * Xilix tilts her head slightly

[17:20] <Harbringer> The results of our actions comes to fruition.

[17:21] <Harbringer> Sanctity is sacrificed

[17:21] * Damsel nods her head as she listens carefully.

[17:21] * Nick thinks and remains silent.

[17:21] * Rimblade snickers softly.

[17:21] <Harbringer> You wonder why the prophecy has suddenly appeared again in a new form.

[17:22] <Xilix> ( Nick's thoughts: Now what will I have for dinner...? Stuff that LOOKS like shrimp, or the other stuff that SMELLS like shrimp? )

[17:22] <Nick> ((XD))

[17:22] <Harbringer> You are the reason. Your own alteratations alter the course of rivers.

[17:22] <Damsel> "Yes, I suppose that would be the result..."

[17:23] <Harbringer> Streams flow into rivers, rivers flow into oceans. Entire oceans altered by the hand of the few.

[17:23] <Harbringer> What comes next you have purchased.

[17:23] * Rimblade hopes it wasn't too cheap.

[17:24] <Harbringer> A mirror shall pay the price. He that is saved will pay....

[17:24] <Harbringer> And sanctity has been sacraficed for vitality

[17:24] <Harbringer> Security sacraficed for inanity

[17:24] * Damsel tugs on her hair, a worried look upon her face.

[17:24] <Rimblade> "So, that's good, right?"

[17:25] * Xilix frowns

[17:25] <Harbringer> You are coming...

[17:25] * Harbringer fades into the shadows

[17:25] * Elaith frowns, recognizing his own shortcomings' contributions to the current situation.

[17:25] * Deathbringer sighs.

[17:25] <Rimblade> Well, that was uplifting!

[17:25] * Nick hangs his head slightly and walks back into the hallway.

[17:27] <>Ambiance<> A dark shadow hangs over the abode.

[17:27] * Joins: Dyn- (Dyn@Caelestia-7A5F3A6E.cap.east.verizon.net)

[17:27] * Damsel sighs softly. "Well... that certainly makes it sound as if we have had far more negative influence on all of this than positive..."

[17:27] <>Ambiance<> A small red fox darts into the glade from without and perches on the top of a nearby rock

[17:27] * Dyn- looks at the shadow.

[17:27] * Joins: Astral ( Ron_bwf@Caelestia-DF9DC500.bb.netvision.net.il)

[17:27] <Dyn-> "That is, however, moderately LESS than uplifting."

[17:28] * Xilix looks at the fox

[17:28] * Rimblade snorts.

[17:28] <Rimblade> "Inanity is always a good thing."

[17:28] <Damsel> "I'm afraid that is not always so, Rimblade."

[17:28] * Nick sniffs quietly and turns around.

[17:29] * Fox chitters softly and tilts it's head sidelong

[17:29] * Dyn- snorts.

[17:29] <Dyn-> "Rimblade is very rarely correct, but often right."

[17:30] * Damsel manages a half-smile.

[17:30] <Rimblade> "I say we glare at that fox until it weeps with fear."

[17:30] * Dyn- sighs.

[17:30] * Nick laughs a little.

[17:30] <Dyn-> "What do you suppose the chances of that fox being simply a fox are?"

[17:31] <Deathbringer> Slim to none.

[17:31] <Xilix> "Very little to none."

[17:31] <Rimblade> "What if it eats rabbits?!"

[17:31] <Fox> (a soft voice vaguely masculine) Try it artifact and see how long you maintain the enchanment that gives you life

[17:32] <Rimblade> "Er, maybe we shouldn't glare at it."

[17:32] <Deathbringer> Sounds like a smart idea.

[17:32] * Dyn- buries his head in his hands.

[17:32] * Elaith pauses, having been just about to resume his "work", though in actuality he was reading a book, and decides to pay some more attention.

[17:32] <Rimblade> "I wonder if it eats kibble?"

[17:33] <Fox> (a soft voice vaguely masculine) no but I have been known to eat metal

[17:33] <Rimblade> "I'm begining to get the idea that it doesn't like any of my proposals."

[17:33] * Xilix hides 'Redemption' in her cloak

[17:33] * Damsel stands and approaches the fox though she remains a small distance away. "Good day to you, sir."

[17:33] * Dyn- sighs.

[17:34] <Dyn-> "Rimblade. Please feel free to be quiet. That's an order."

[17:34] * Nick turns around and heads for an empty room. "Foxes bore me..."

[17:34] * Rimblade makes several 'Mrmph!'-ing sounds, and stops making noise.

[17:34] <Xilix> "Nick, don't be rude."

[17:34] * Fox transforms to a young male with short dark hair and a small black satchel. He is attired in light armor.

[17:35] * Nick closes the door behind him.

[17:35] * Xilix tilts her head the other way and grins slightly

[17:35] * Fox-boy Goodday to you mirror

[17:35] * Dyn- walks up and stands to the left and behind Damsel. He appears to be carrying a small potato.

[17:36] <Damsel> "Mirror?"

[17:36] <Xilix> "What?"

[17:36] <Rimblade> "Mrmmrorpm?"

[17:36] <Nick> ((Dun Dun DUUUUUNNN))

[17:37] * Joins: Hat|EverywhereButHere (perroquite@Caelestia-97A46FAA.bois.qwest.net )

[17:37] * Hat|EverywhereButHere is now known as Legault

[17:37] * Fox-boy I am Sakel

[17:37] * Fox-boy What is your name?

[17:37] * Reality sets mode: +v Legault

[17:37] * Xilix bows slightly, "Nice to meet you, Sakel, I am Xilix Ryst."

[17:37] * Damsel smiles welcomingly. "I am known as Damsel. It is a pleasure to meet you."

[17:38] * Dyn- sketches a bow. "I am Dyn(sans-)."

[17:38] * Deathbringer bows low, the hellfire in his eyes dancing, "Most know me as Deathbringer. Many here call me DB."

[17:38] <Sakel> I have never met a Ryst I have liked

[17:38] * Damsel hides a grin behind a hand.

[17:38] <Nick> ((...Nice...))

[17:38] <Dyn-> "I assure you, Xilix is far less offensive than her kin."

[17:39] * Xilix sighs, "I can understand that. They've given me a dark shadow, Sakel."

[17:39] <Xilix> "Thanks, Dyn."

[17:39] * Nick scratches his head and lays down, closing his eyes to rest for awhile.

[17:39] * Dyn- makes a short bow to Xilix.

[17:39] * Parts: Astral (Ron_bwf@Caelestia-DF9DC500.bb.netvision.net.il)

[17:40] * Sakel withdraws a small scroll case from his satchel

[17:41] <Xilix> "What is that, if you don't mind me asking?"

[17:41] <Sakel> The commentator.

[17:41] <Sakel> I seek her.

[17:41] <Xilix> "The commentator? I'm not quite sure if I know anybody by that title..."

[17:41] * Dyn- shrugs. "I can only assume he means Lkeas. That's whom they're all after, if you get my drift."

[17:42] <Sakel> She is I.

[17:42] <Sakel> And I am She.

[17:42] <Dyn-> "Ahh. Are you from a mirror reality, then?"

[17:42] <Xilix> "Hm? I don't quite understand."

[17:42] <Sakel> Whatever might have given you the first clue?

[17:42] * Damsel studies Sakel with respectful curiousity.

[17:43] <Dyn-> "Forgive me. My mind is not what it was- and it never was much."

[17:43] <Elaith> Rearrange the name I would suppose, based on sound.

[17:43] * Joins: Jeice (Jeice@Operator.Caelestia.net)

[17:43] * Reality sets mode: +ao Jeice Jeice

[17:43] * Rimblade bursts free of Dyn's binding.

[17:43] <Xilix> "Sakel... Elkas... Saekl... Lkeas?"

[17:43] <Rimblade> "Besides, SOMEONE's gotta blurt out the obvious!"

[17:43] <Damsel> "Well your mirror is not here at current, I am afraid."

[17:44] <Sakel> We will return then

[17:44] <Dyn-> "Fare thee well, wayfarer."

[17:44] * Sakel reassumes a vulpine form

[17:44] * Xilix is now known as Xilix-[Away]

[17:44] <Damsel> "May you have a safe journey."

[17:44] * Sakel skitters off into the mist
