From Caelwiki

[18:58] Elenor: The hell?
[18:58] Cerbero: Oh hell no...
[18:58] Strider: "...Oh crap...."
[18:58] * Cy scans the creature
[18:58] Nick: What is that?
[18:58] Stromy: "Be you friend or foe?"
[18:58] Rimblade: "Well, I'm having a wonderful time, but I'd rather be whistling in the dark!"
[18:59] silversyte: Daddy?
[18:59] * Clyde eyes the creature displeasingly.
[18:59] Little_Brown_Box: Hi there!
[18:59] Little_Brown_Box: How're you doing?
[18:59] * Elenor silently fumes.
[18:59] Strider: "Yay we cant me, are defenseles, and a Creature is about to kill us! YAY FOR US!!!"
[18:59] Cerbero: No, I'm your daddy, and I'll ground you for life if you dont shut up.
[18:59] De`thion: Boss fight!
[18:59] * Damsel watches the creature, uncertain.
[18:59] silversyte: Your not my real dad.
[18:59] * De`thion breaks into the final fantasy boss themesong
[18:59] Cerbero: DE`THION STOP SAYING BOSS FIGHT!
[18:59] Strider: De'Thion we cant fight
[18:59] De`thion: ... fine
[18:59] Strider: Its going to be Boss Slaguhter
[18:59] * Stromy joins Damsel, sincerly hoping for a friendly encounter
[18:59] silversyte: And you never will be.
[18:59] Strider: Or something...
[19:00] * Taimat begins to sing 'rainbow in the dark',all the while trying to hold his sword steady and watching the creature.
[19:00] * Lkeas attempts to turn in the direction that the others are facing to see what they are observing.
[19:00] Elenor: ... Let me out, and I'll show you a bloody boss fight, if this thing's been the one fucking with us.
[19:00] * De`thion looks at the strange glowing creature
[19:00] De`thion: I'm Durroth, who are you?
[19:00] Strider: "I sense a disturbance in the force..."
[19:00] Rimblade: "There's only one thing that I know how to do well..."
[19:01] Figure: who is feminine but not defined "
[19:01] silversyte: elenor
[19:01] Elenor: ... What?
[19:01] Strider: "Lkeas."
[19:01] Figure: "I am the Deva Caliga"
[19:01] * silversyte snickers
[19:01] Cerbero: Strider... you've watched too many terran transmissions.
[19:01] De`thion: Nice to meet you
[19:01] * Stromy whispers, "Gaea?"
[19:01] Strider: "I have indeed Cerbero.
[19:01] * Strider looks at Deva Caliga
[19:01] * Rimblade peers at the Deva Caliga.
[19:01] De`thion: except the fact we're trapped in a cage
[19:01] Strider: "Friend or foe?
[19:01] Stromy: "Are you here to help us ma'am?"
[19:01] Figure: "I am a resident of this place"
[19:01] Rimblade: "Or both?"
[19:01] Damsel: "The...  Deva Caliga?"
[19:01] * Cy scans the Deva Caliga
[19:01] De`thion: and we were just subjected to horrible horrible music
[19:01] * Lkeas frowns. "What is this place..?"
[19:02] Stromy: "Where and what is this place ma'am?"
[19:02] silversyte: Do you have any property for sale here?
[19:02] De`thion: and if samael was awake, he's probably pissed at me for the safety dance incident
[19:02] Cy: "an extradimensional being.... an Astral Deva... resident of the Astral Plane"
[19:02] Nick: and Why can't we move Deva Caliga?
[19:02] silversyte: i like it here
[19:02] Cy: "Deva Caliga."
[19:02] Figure: "You are used to ground"
[19:02] * Clyde is somewhat shocked and confused, "Who exactly?"
[19:02] Elenor: I'm growing incredibly tired of being played with.
[19:02] Figure: "There is no ground here"
[19:03] Cy: "We noticed."
[19:03] Figure: "One moves by force of will"
[19:03] Strider: "Is there air"
[19:03] * Stromy focuses on floating
[19:03] * Cy wills himself to move.
[19:03] Figure: "No... no air either"
[19:03] Cerbero: Partially similar to the Ethereal Realm.
[19:03] * De`thion tries willing himself to move
[19:03] Cy: "I dont need air anyway."
[19:03] Figure: "Similiar.... this is the deep astral"
[19:03] Stromy: "Then...how can we breathe?
[19:03] silversyte: so that means if we try to move we move?
[19:03] Stromy: "
[19:03] Strider: "So Deva Pie or Cake?"
[19:03] * Nick looks at the creature and smiles. "Ahhh..."
[19:03] Rimblade: "Ooooh!  Oneiro!"
[19:03] Elenor: If it's similar to the Etheral, then it's no big deal.
[19:03] Figure: "You do not need to breathe"
[19:03] Damsel: "How did we get here?  Or...  Why are we here?"
[19:03] Rimblade: "Let's do some oneiromancy."
[19:03] * Strider marvels at the fact of this being the Astral Relm.
[19:04] Figure: "This is the deep astral"
[19:04] Strider: "Whos mind are we in?"
[19:04] * Cy wills himself to move forward
[19:04] Stromy: "Can you help us get back to the Abode?"
[19:04] Nick: Why are we here?
[19:04] Strider: "Are you evil?"
[19:04] Figure: None at the moment. No thoughts touch here. A mind was here but it has moved on from the dreaming world
[19:04] Strider: "Great."
[19:04] * Lkeas focuses her thoughts, slowly picturing a mental image of herself moving a bit closer to the figure.  "Do you know whose it was..?"
[19:04] Cy: "She isnt evil."
[19:04] LordBarrius: "A mind?"
[19:04] * Figure cocks her head sideways
[19:04] * Stromy looks befuddled, "Then...how are we...thinking?"
[19:05] Figure: None of my kind are evil
[19:05] Strider: "If I will my self to move will I move?"
[19:05] Elenor: Eh, evil ain't that bad anyway.
[19:05] * Cerbero lets out a sigh, in relief.
[19:05] Cy: "I figured that Deva Caliga."
[19:05] Figure: Or at the least infintesimally few
[19:05] silversyte: We only think we are thinking
[19:05] Rimblade: "Oh, I know I'm thinking- not so sure 'bout you."
[19:05] Stromy: "Do you know how we got here?"
[19:05] Figure: (who is now distinctly nearer lkeas) I do not
[19:05] Cy: "Deva, Can you help us return to where we can from.
[19:05] Figure: For I was not within
[19:05] Elenor: You'll find that everyone here is aligned with the Caelestian god of evil.
[19:06] Nick: So then...Why are we in this cage...and why are we here?
[19:06] * Stromy wills himself towards Lkeas
[19:06] * Cy creates an image of the abode
[19:06] Stromy: "What are you doing?"
[19:06] Figure: And?
[19:06] * Cy in his mind
[19:06] silversyte: elenor you justed called us evil.
[19:06] Stromy: "What do you want with her?"
[19:06] Cerbero: She didnt silver.
[19:06] Figure: Why would that matter to me
[19:06] Cerbero: pay more atention next time.
[19:06] Elenor: If being aligned with Falerin makes me evil, then that is what I am. He saved my life.
[19:06] Strider: "Because Deva were here!"
[19:06] Figure: That you were aligned with Falerin means little
[19:06] Rimblade: "Aha!  The land where you don't even bother getting shades of gray!"
[19:06] Strider: "Deva what are you?"
[19:07] Cy: "Can you return us to the abode of Falerin?'
[19:07] Figure: I am a Deva
[19:07] Cy: "an extradimensional being.... an Astral Deva... resident of the Astral Plane"
[19:07] Strider: "Are you a faceless?"
[19:07] Figure: Yes that
[19:07] Cy: "That is what she is."
[19:07] Figure: Faceless?
[19:07] Nick: Why do you want to go back? this place is obviously cozy.
[19:07] Figure: I have a face child
[19:07] * Cy tries to form an image of the abode in his mind.
[19:07] Cerbero: A faceless is an annukaki, but they are not in this realm. They are in Nowhere.
[19:07] >Ambiance<: The abode appears
[19:07] * TaloToecan looks at the Deva curiously, though the haze of pain and sadness.
[19:07] Elenor: I mentioned Fal, because we'd all rather be back in his abode.
[19:07] Cy: "Ha!"
[19:07] Rimblade: "Wait, I'll bet the Deva can help us.  It's probably speakably wise."
[19:07] Elenor: .. Okay, that works.
[19:08] Lkeas: Deva.. how..
[19:08] Cy: "Deva can you help us return to there?"
[19:08] Strider: "Deva..."
[19:08] * Damsel looks around. "...Are we truely back or is this just another... image?"
[19:08] * Lkeas blinks, rather confused.
[19:08] Cy: "I made it guys."
[19:08] * Rimblade forms an image of a monocle in his mind.
[19:08] Cy: "I thought of it."
[19:08] Taimat: "Unfortunately...we are still unable to move..."
[19:08] * Cy thinks of a image of a jetpack
[19:08] * Caliga looks contemplative
[19:08] Stromy: "Don't take too much pride Cy, so did I"
[19:08] Cerbero: I would slap myself.
[19:08] Cerbero: but i cant.
[19:08] Strider: "Deva, where do you come from?"
[19:09] >Ambiance<: Fair harbor and its streets appear arround the abode allowing free normal motion
[19:09] * Strider falls to the ground
[19:09] Stromy: "Are we truly in the Abode now Deva? Or is this just your interpertation of it?"
[19:09] Elenor: ... Like we're going to get out that easily.
[19:09] Caliga: Is there some difference
[19:09] * Cy tries to make a jetpack in his mind.
[19:09] * Rimblade focuses.... focuses....
[19:09] * Cerbero loosens up
[19:09] * Rimblade envisions a giant owl.
[19:09] * Damsel looks around, confused and uncertain.
[19:09] >Ambiance<: The android sprouts a jetpack
[19:09] Strider: "We can move.
[19:09] * Cy smiles.
[19:09] * LordBarrius glances around a bit, though his focus remains on carefully but tightly hugging Talo to himself.
[19:09] Cerbero: ...
[19:10] Elenor: ... Yeah, this isn't real.
[19:10] * Strider tries to make a chain.
[19:10] Caliga: Not real?
[19:10] Rimblade: "Reality?"
[19:10] Cy: "This is quite real. but its not real."
[19:10] * TaloToecan blicks, relaxing slightly and envisioning being healed quite strongly
[19:10] * Strider focuses on a chain in his mind
[19:10] Rimblade: "Hah!  NARCISUS plane!"
[19:10] Stromy: "Caliga, did you make this Abode?"
[19:10] * Cy turns the jetpack on
[19:10] >Ambiance<: A large length of heavy gauge chain appears in Strider's hand
[19:10] * Elenor envisions Falerin standing next to her.
[19:10] Strider: "Hell yeah!"
[19:10] * Falerin appears
[19:10] Cerbero: It seems that we can adapt this realm at will
[19:10] Strider: Oh..
[19:10] Cerbero: Lore Master!
[19:11] Stromy: "Falerin? Is that truly you?"
[19:11] * Nick thinks about a bottle of whiskey in his hands.
[19:11] Falerin: what is real
[19:11] * Strider focuses on Falerin dancing in his mind.
[19:11] Elenor: I just thought about him standing next to me...
[19:11] * Clyde thinks about sitting on the couch.
[19:11] Falerin: what is truth
[19:11] * Cy imagines an exit back to the Real abode.
[19:11] Damsel: "Perception..."
[19:11] Stromy: "Yep, it's you"
[19:11] Rimblade: "I love narcisus planes."
[19:11] Falerin: Ah...
[19:11] Elenor: Yeah, that sure sounds like him.
[19:11] Strider: "Falerin where are we?!"
[19:11] * Lkeas looks pensive as well, maintaining her thoughts focused upon the mental image of herself.  She attempts to look inward, to see whether there might be anything within to help more firmly establish her identity as a copy, or puppet..
[19:11] Falerin: Cannoli Damsel?
[19:11] * Cerbero focuses on finding the reason of being in this place
[19:12] * Damsel smiles faintly. "Please."
[19:12] Falerin: With chocolate chips or with out?
[19:12] * Taimat pictures an image of a legendary katana in his hands,and a pint of lager in his other hand.
[19:12] Damsel: "With, if you would be so kind."
[19:12] De`thion: good to be back here
[19:12] * Cy thinks of an exit out of this realm
[19:12] Strider: Falerin whats going on??
[19:12] * Lkeas closes her eyes, trying to maintain focus.  "The truth... so many questions.."
[19:12] De`thion: and I apologize profusely to everyone for the safety dance incident
[19:12] >Ambiance<: A fluted pastry appears on a small plate in Damsels hand filled with white filling and dotted with minature dark chocolate chips
[19:12] * TaloToecan stuggles quite clearly in LB's arms, straining to get his mind in enough order for a message. 'Perceptive reality' sounds into LB's mind, along with bleedover of pain, regrettably.
[19:13] Stromy: "Falerin, do you know how we got here?"
[19:13] Rimblade: "Well, Fal HAS talked about bias a lot."
[19:13] silversyte: Time to forget everything i just saw.
[19:13] * LordBarrius nods. "I see....what we see....is influencing the world around. Perception is creating our 'reality'....in a sense, anyways. Curious...."
[19:13] Stromy: "Or who brought us here?"
[19:13] Falerin: I think of you often
[19:13] Falerin: Such is not suprising
[19:13] * Taimat continues to focus on an image of a pint of lager and a legendary katana.
[19:13] Falerin: I am coming galrick
[19:13] * Cy creates an image of an exit to the real abode in his mind
[19:13] * Falerin vanishes
[19:13] Nick: Galrick is indanger?
[19:14] Cerbero: It appears so
[19:14] Strider: "He didnt awnser my questions....
[19:14] Cerbero: Is everyone alright?
[19:14] * Damsel looks down at the pastry in her hands, thoughtful
[19:14] * Stromy gasps. "This is just a representation of our actions...Like a magnified version of what's occuring outside"
[19:14] Elenor: I'm fine.
[19:14] * Taimat is still focusing on a picture of a nice cold pint.
[19:14] silversyte: No..i think my brain exploded.
[19:14] * Rimblade claps slowly.
[19:14] Caliga: This is real
[19:14] * FrogPlushie believes someone should imagine it. Nao.
[19:14] Caliga: Why would it be otherwise
[19:14] Strider: "Whos Caliga?
[19:15] Stromy: "Yes, it's real, but is it our reality?"
[19:15] Rimblade: "Oh, obviously it's real.  It's just outside our comfort levels, I expect."
[19:15] silversyte: who cares?
[19:15] Caliga: Your reality?
[19:15] Elenor: Because normally stuff doesn't just come when you imagine it, especially dieities.
[19:15] Stromy: "The Abode, the physical world."
[19:15] Rimblade: "Unless you're me, because reality naturally is based entirely on my actions anyway."
[19:15] Caliga: What is your reality
[19:15] * Strider swings the chain, practicing with it.
[19:15] silversyte: Maybe we have been given awesome power.
[19:15] * Cy creates an image of a exit to Caelestia
[19:15] * Cy creates an image of a exit to Caelestia in his mind.
[19:15] Caliga: Pysical. What is it to be physical.
[19:15] Elenor: Silver, I imagined Fal being here, and then he appeared.
[19:15] * Clyde questionly looks at Caliga, "So what is your reality?"
[19:15] Stromy: "An interesting question, I'm not sure there is an exact answer"
[19:15] * Lkeas 's eyes flicker open slowly. "Caliga.. some things we do not bring about ourselves... my very existence... not my will.."
[19:16] Caliga: Yes you are here physically
[19:16] Cerbero: Define reality.
[19:16] Strider: We are?"
[19:16] * TaloToecan continues to try and envision himself in full health, desiring the nature of speech despite the chaos of his mind.
[19:16] Cerbero: Reality is relative.
[19:16] * LordBarrius shakes his head, escaping his thoughts, and holds Talo in one arm while reaching out the other to pet him gently and almost absent-mindedly.
[19:16] * silversyte thinks of a shiny golden longsword
[19:16] Taimat: "Well...It appears that only a select few of us can create thing simply via pictureing them...I,for one,am still waaiting on that drink."
[19:16] Rimblade: "Aunt or uncle?"
[19:16] * TaloToecan is healed
[19:16] * Cy turns on his jetpack
[19:16] Strider: I can also create things by picturing them."
[19:16] Stromy: "This is not the plane that we usually reside on."
[19:16] Caliga: That is asuredly true
[19:17] * Strider spins the chain some more.
[19:17] Stromy: "That makes this, in a sense, an abnormal reality for us"
[19:17] Clyde: "Is this your home Caliga?"
[19:17] silversyte: where the heck is my sword?
[19:17] Stromy: "We are not used to the laws and ideas of this place."
[19:17] Caliga: Reality and plane are not equivalent terms
[19:17] * TaloToecan shudders and shivers for a moment at the odd feeling. "Per...Perceptive reality. Reality defined by the Will and Desire. Reality...I used to wonder if MY nature was so beholden to MY will..."
[19:17] * Elenor imagines herself gaining power to rival the ancient ArchMages of Lore.
[19:17] Stromy: "No, but they are interconnected"
[19:17] * Cy creates an image of Vixi in his mind. a green plain with a hill with a house on it, and a bar in the town nearby
[19:17] Rimblade: "Normal reality is what's abnormal.  This oddity right here is quite ordinary."
[19:17] Damsel: "This...  puts us in quite an interesting state..."
[19:17] * LordBarrius glances down as Talo speaks and smiles softly. "Brother, are you....feeling a bit better?"
[19:17] Cerbero: Not always Stromy
[19:17] Stromy: "We are not used to these laws, thus making this abnormal, or unreal"
[19:18] Elenor: ... Eh, doubted it'd be that easy.
[19:18] Strider: "RImblade that makes no sense.
[19:18] * silversyte imagines a shiny golden keysword in his right hand
[19:18] Cerbero: not making this abnormal.
[19:18] Rimblade: "Seriously, day following day?  Who came up with THAT?  Day out to chase itself around on pogo sticks."
[19:18] Cerbero: it makes us abnormal. We are the strange ones here.
[19:18] Strider: "Rimblade just stop..."
[19:18] * De`thion tries imagining something
[19:18] Caliga: Unreal?
[19:18] Stromy: "Not in the truest sense of the word"
[19:18] * Cy tries imagining a demon creature infront of the group. tamed demon creature.
[19:18] * Elenor imagines herself having tea with The`Galin.
[19:18] Caliga: That is strange... your idea of real and unreal is broken
[19:18] Nick: Seems real to me...
[19:18] Stromy: "Just of feeling of it"
[19:18] silversyte: no fair i want my keysword
[19:18] * Clyde imagines himself a seat.
[19:19] >Ambiance<: A seat appears
[19:19] Stromy: "Yes, but so are many ideas"
[19:19] Strider: "Caliga then what is real. And what is Unreal?"
[19:19] * Strider walksto the seat.
[19:19] >Ambiance<: A sword matching the Keysword from Kingom Hearts exactly appears
[19:19] * silversyte imagines himself a keysword the size of a long sword
[19:19] * Clyde imagines siting down.
[19:19] Caliga: That is peculiar and useless weapon
[19:19] * Strider goes to pick up the sword
[19:19] Stromy: "Yes, these things are real."
[19:19] Rimblade: "Oh!  Oh!  I wonder.  If it's noon here, and it's six o' clock on the other side of the world, is it then there, or now there, if it's now here?"
[19:19] silversyte: awesome
[19:19] De`thion: hmm... what should I try imagining
[19:19] * Stromy nods, "I see what you mean"
[19:19] * Cy tries imagining a recharge station
[19:19] Cerbero: Caliga, we come from a realm in wich mind cannot cause an influence in it that easily.
[19:20] Cerbero: That causes us to find this strange.
[19:20] * TaloToecan looks up at LB. "Physically, at least." He then looks at Caliga. "Defining real...it is not so different than defining the Self, is it?"
[19:20] Caliga: That is not true
[19:20] * Taimat is still focusing on the Ping,though now he is also imagining that there is a comfortable armchair in front of him.
[19:20] * silversyte begins playing with his new sword
[19:20] Caliga: You come from the prime material plane
[19:20] Stromy: "In our world, it takes more than just mental energy to cause change to our surroundings"
[19:20] * De`thion trys imagining a shinigami outfit and zanpakuto into existance
[19:20] Taimat: ((Pint,not ping))
[19:20] Elenor: ... Danm, looks like it stopped working for me after Fal.
[19:20] Caliga: On the prime such things happen constantly... they just go via longer routes
[19:20] Stromy: "We must expend physical energy or mana in order to make things do our bidding"
[19:20] Damsel: "I...  see..."
[19:20] Strider: "Hey Sivler want to trade Chain for Keyblade?
[19:21] silversyte: heck no
[19:21] Caliga: To imaginine into reality you must provide the chain of events that makes the thought real
[19:21] * Taimat is still imagining a drink and armchair.
[19:21] * Cy thinks of a recharge station in his mind he needs to shutdown and charge badly
[19:21] * Strider scowls at Silver.
[19:21] Strider: "Caliga I kinda like it here.
[19:21] * LordBarrius nods in understanding. "Fair enough. We....shall speak of that later." He glances up to pay better attention to Caliga, though not halting the absent-minded petting of before.
[19:21] >Ambiance<: A recharge station appears
[19:21] * silversyte is imagining the orginization 13 outfit on him
[19:22] Rimblade: "Oh, so?"
[19:22] * De`thion tries thinking a shinigami uniform and zanpakuto into existance again
[19:22] * Cy smiles and plugs into the recharger and "Drag me out of here when we leave." he shuts down
[19:22] * Elenor imagines finding out what the TruthSeekers had been after all along.. the Truth, of course.
[19:22] * Stromy focuses on the Computer appearing
[19:22] De`thion: this will work if its the last thing I do!
[19:22] Abode: where have I been taken
[19:22] * Taimat is imagining a large bacon and egg sandwich,along with a nice cold drink.
[19:22] * Strider thinks of a fruitcake in his mind, and focuses on it.
[19:22] * silversyte keeps trying
[19:22] * Elenor is still imagining herself finding the Truth.
[19:22] Rimblade: "It's a narcisus plane!  Astral world!"
[19:22] Stromy: The astral plane
[19:22] Rimblade: "Well, not the normal one."
[19:22] silversyte: i want the outfit dangit.
[19:22] Rimblade: "And the people here are mad with... of all things... power!"
[19:22] >Ambiance<: A heavily fruited christmas fruitcake appears with a heavy rum glaze
[19:23] Rimblade: "How ridiculous!"
[19:23] >Ambiance<: The laptop appears
[19:23] Strider: "Yay, my fruitcake is here!"
[19:23] * Lkeas sighs as she mentally brushes aside her introspection. "Do you think, Caliga.. that regardless of why one exists, one can make the best of their existence?  Or is one doomed to whatever fate our maker has created us for..?"
[19:23] De`thion: meh, everythings working but mine
[19:23] Stromy: "Hello Computer"
[19:23] * De`thion keeps trying
[19:23] * TaloToecan thinks for a moment...then invisions a process. Forging metal into forms...familiar forms. Cogs, gears, springs, plates and feathers. He then thinks of the process of fitting them together, each part fitting precisely together, to create a new whole. He invisions the project he had set upon last eve, invisioning it finished, a small mirror of the hippogryph in Damsel's own mind.
[19:23] * silversyte imagines the organization 13 outfit
[19:23] * De`thion is nothing if not persistant
[19:23] Elenor: ... Hey, mine stopped working after Fal.
[19:23] * Genoclysm imagines a pink hippo named Truth that flies around space shooting pixie dust out of its butt that tastes good on waffles.
[19:23] De`thion: ((AND TOAST))
[19:23] Caliga: we make our own fate
[19:23] Caliga: but we all have destinies
[19:24] Stromy: "But were we not fated to come to this place?"
[19:24] Clyde: "How so?"
[19:24] Rimblade: "There's a divinity wot shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will?"
[19:24] TaloToecan: *"I...wish...that real. The process done. Linked from start to finish. That truth made real."
[19:24] De`thion: fine then, lets try it this way
[19:24] * Taimat invisions a glass of wine
[19:24] silversyte: Where the heck is the outfit?
[19:24] Lkeas: I don't wish to be a tool... or a trap...
[19:24] * Cerbero shakes his head.
[19:24] * Lkeas sighs.
[19:24] * Strider thinks of a piece of buttered toast and concentrates on it.
[19:24] * De`thion envisions the creation of a zanpakuto and shinigami uniform using all his knowledge of bleach and the creation of said items
[19:24] Caliga: we make our own fate
[19:24] Stromy: Caliga, is there any exit from this place?
[19:24] Caliga: but we all have destinies
[19:24] Rimblade: "It's not a bad life, being a tool, you know Lkeas?"
[19:24] Clyde: "How so?"
[19:25] * Strider focuses harder on the toast
[19:25] Caliga: Yes
[19:25] Rimblade: "For a while, anyway."
[19:25] Cerbero: People... you are thinking of this place as a giant gift exchanging festivity. Is this what we have come tobe?
[19:25] * silversyte imagines himself stealing the outfit from riku
[19:25] Cerbero: ((to be*))
[19:25] Caliga: From the astral one can go to many other planes
[19:25] Stromy: "Such as?"
[19:25] Rimblade: "Hey, too right!"
[19:25] Nick: Many others you say?
[19:25] * Damsel smiles faintly at Lkeas, her only wish and desire for her family to stop hurting, for LordBarrius and Talo to be relieved of the stress the horrible love triangle has placed them in.
[19:25] * Strider focuses even harder on the toast.
[19:25] * Nick smiles and looks around a bit.
[19:26] * Damsel splits into two
[19:26] * Taimat continues to imagine a glass of wine,but it is joined by a mental picture of Striders toast.
[19:26] Lkeas: Where could we go where we would be of the most use..
[19:26] * LordBarrius sighs softly and speaks in a whisper. "I have only one thing I could want...."
[19:26] Stromy: "Yes Caliga, please advise us"
[19:26] * TaloToecan wishes for that dream, that project, that ill-fated gift to be real...........and then shivers as his eyes tell him something that is very, very, very wrong.
[19:26] Rimblade: "I believe that we'd better declaim.
[19:26] * Strider focuses VERY hard on the toast
[19:27] >Ambiance<: The second Damsel is seemingly younger somehow
[19:27] * LordBarrius blinks at Damsel a few times. "Sh....Shayril?"
[19:27] * Cerbero imagines a stable portal between the part of the astral realm in wich they are and the abode. He concentrates in this image.
[19:27] Strider: "Forget the toast
[19:27] Rimblade: "Ahem!  Clock, please!"
[19:27] Elenor: The hell? Two Damsels?
[19:27] * Clyde is shocked to see two Damsels. "What..is this?"
[19:27] >Ambiance<: A small window appears in space seemingly bending the distance between your present location and the front door of the abode
[19:27] Stromy: "What is this?"
[19:28] silversyte: does this keyblade have the powers it is supposed to have
[19:28] * Cerbero smiles
[19:28] Elenor: Portal?
[19:28] * Stromy leaps towards the window
[19:28] * TaloToecan is entirely shaken, back to his core, at the sight of twin Shayrils differing only in apparent age. His previous desire flits away, as confusion and chaos rocks his mind again, shaking heavily in LB's arms with a high squeek.
[19:28] Cerbero: ah...
[19:28] Cerbero: It worked...
[19:28] silversyte: jump thru it
[19:28] * Damsel , at least the older version if not both, blinks in surprise. "What...?"
[19:28] Elenor: But is it really a portal back to the abode?
[19:28] * Lkeas looks at the two Damsels with alarm. "What did you..?"
[19:28] Cerbero: It is.
[19:28] Nick: I do I want most...
[19:28] Cerbero: I imagined it.
[19:28] * Strider runs at the portal and jumpd through
[19:28] Elenor: Should we all be heading back?
[19:28] Nick: *What...
[19:28] * silversyte jumps thru the portal
[19:28] Clyde: "Is this...another illusion?"
[19:29] Abode: I am physically here
[19:29] LordBarrius: "No...."  He hugs Talo tight to him, his own frame shuddering a bit.  "This....this doesn't help...."
[19:29] * Nick bites his lip hard enough to make it bleed "No...that could never happen..."
[19:29] Stromy: "Have you come to rescue us
[19:29] Abode: So I am not sure what you are attempting
[19:29] Elenor: Okay...
[19:29] Elenor: That's weird.
[19:29] Cerbero: Abode...
[19:29] * De`thion tries just the zanpakuto, imagining the manifestation of spirit energy, the property that causes it to change size and shape according to the spirit pressure of the wielder, the shikai, the bankai, the name, the manifestation of the zanpakuto's true form
[19:30] Stromy: "If you're here...then where does that window lead?"
[19:30] * Clyde steps through the portal in hope to be back home.
[19:30] * Taimat begins to imagine not an image,but an ideal. "I wish for one thing...Freedom...Freedom from this accursed place...Freedom from my Destiny...Freedom to do as i wish...Freedom from the monster that dwells inside of me,in the deepest resesses of my mind...I wish to be free."
[19:30] * De`Thion's attempt manifests
[19:30] Rimblade: "I wonder...."
[19:30] Caliga: That is a meaningless wish
[19:31] * Rimblade concentrates, very hard, like he's never done before.
[19:31] Caliga: You are a being of free will
[19:31] De`thion: no, its awesomeness
[19:31] Rimblade: "Appear, o TOME FAIRY!"
[19:31] Caliga: What you seek you have
[19:31] * De`thion examines the new sword
[19:31] * Nick imagines a pale-skinned woman, with long flowing hair, and a silk dress, her face smiling brightly at him, and her warm embrace. "Elizabeth..." he mutters quietly.
[19:31] * A book with wings appears
[19:31] Stromy: So the abode is on this plane?
[19:31] Rimblade: "The TOME FAIRY!"
[19:31] Elizabeth: Nick....
[19:31] Taimat: "Because...Nobody is truely free...We are all bound by our own restrictions,our own limitations..."
[19:31] * Damsel 's younger version frowns then, appearing more vexed than her older counterpart. Quickly she goes towards Talo, and LordBarrius by proximity. "Oh... Oh don't please. Enough pain..." She reaches out towards the bioanidroid seeking to comfort him.
[19:32] Rimblade: "O, mighty goddess of books which seem to come out of nowhere!  We praise thee!"
[19:32] * Nick looks up "No..."
[19:32] * Lkeas frowns. "How can we keep the unity we strive for?  So often it breaks apart.."
[19:32] Rimblade: "Kaloo-Kalay!"
[19:32] Caliga: we make our own fate
[19:32] Nick: Elizabeth, I...I...You're here...
[19:32] De`thion: I'm almost afraid to ask its name
[19:32] Caliga: but we all have destinies
[19:32] Rimblade: "It's name is Tome Fairy.  Duh."
[19:33] * TaloToecan scrambles away from the younger looking Damsel, entirely too shaken and SCARED to put himself out there in that sense again.
[19:33] De`thion: ... not the tome
[19:33] * Lkeas sighs and smiles slightly. "It is the only answer you give me.  I suppose my questions are all the same..."
[19:33] * Stromy looks at Lkeas and states, "Such is life. All good things cannot last forever. We just have to perservere"
