The Epic - Session LIII: Part 5

From Caelwiki

[19:33] De`thion: the sword
[19:33] De`thion: zanpakuto have names
[19:33] Taimat: "Our fate is bound by our choices,by our Birth...By our Destiny."
[19:33] * Damsel 's older self shakes her head in surprise, looking pleadingly towards LordBarrius and Talo... and her younger self. "This isn't... what I expected. I only wished... That the pain I caused you both... That we cause each other... would stop."
[19:33] * LordBarrius seems hesitant to hold out Talo at first, staring at the younger Damsel with clear confusion, but the choice is made for him as Talo apparently scampers free of his grasp.
[19:33] Elenor: ... Eh, I think it stops working after a certian amount or something.
[19:33] De`thion: they're a manifestation of the wielders spirit energy
[19:33] Stromy: "Our thoughts limit our abilities"
[19:33] * Rimblade leaps up and down, trying to grab the flying book.
[19:33] Clyde: "By our actions, our choices, our outcomes."
[19:34] * Nick tries to hold tears back. "I missed you...I really did..."
[19:34] Caliga: At times what we envision takes a mind of its own and is not what we might expect
[19:34] Rimblade: "Right, like the World."
[19:34] Stromy: "But we cannot imagine everything."
[19:34] * Damsel , younger, drops her hand and takes a step backwards, pain appearing on her face. "I... I'm sorry..."
[19:34] Lkeas: No one person can create unity... it takes willing effort by all...
[19:34] Rimblade: "I dunno that ANY creator has EVER expected the world as they make it!"
[19:34] Stromy: "We are bound by our limits"
[19:34] * De`thion closes his eyes and tries communing with the sword, to find its name
[19:34] Caliga: Exactly like the world Hilt of Dynseal
[19:35] Rimblade: "Pff.  I remember that part."
[19:35] Rimblade: "Oh, it'll be unity and love, they say."
[19:35] Rimblade: "Bleeding media."
[19:35] * Elenor imagines tomes containing the ancient lost knowledge of the ArchMages of Lore.
[19:35] Taimat: "I should have worded it better...I wish for TRUE freedom...Freedom from the darkness that binds my heart,and clouds my vision..."
[19:35] Sword: I am the death of a million honors
[19:36] Stromy: "So Caligia, you are saying that because our ideas can take a mind of their own, that...the posibilites are infinite?"
[19:36] Caliga: You wish to die?
[19:36] * TaloToecan stops as the younger Damsel takes a step backwards. "No....no....this....this isn't right! I can't! After all that pain....sacrifice....what answer is this?!? Its...not right. Its not the same! You aren't the same Shayril!" His weeping and pain ridden voice echoes how severely he is shaken to the core by this.
[19:36] De`thion: ... and your name is?
[19:36] Caliga: She is the same
[19:37] Lkeas: What makes a person, Talo...
[19:37] Caliga: She is exactly the same. She comes from within the other
[19:37] * Clyde imagines what would happen if the Truthseekers never formed, just to get a look.
[19:37] Sword: I am the death of a million honors
[19:37] Lkeas: What makes someone who they are... memories? Molecules..?
[19:37] * Lkeas shakes her head.
[19:37] Stromy: "A soul?"
[19:37] * Elenor continues to imagine tomes containing the lost magical knowledge of the ancient ArchMages.
[19:37] * LordBarrius winces briefly at his newfound injuries, though ignoring them for the moment as they mean little compared to the pain inflicted to his mental status. "No....I don't want this....I just want the three of us....to be able to live with each other....without this pain....this only makes it worse...."
[19:37] Lkeas: If Damsel is not the same... how much less am I Lkeas..
[19:37] * Rimblade stops leaping at the book, and walks back.
[19:37] * Nick coughs and wipes the tears away from his eyes "No, this isn't...right..."
[19:37] De`thion: thats not a name. thats what you are, unless your name is japanese for the death of a million honors, in which case I dont know the words
[19:38] Caliga: Right Wrong
[19:38] Caliga: Word
[19:38] Caliga: Logos
[19:38] De`thion: word then
[19:38] * Strider steps out of ht portal, it took him nowwhere.
[19:38] * Damsel , older, turns towards Caliga. "This isn't what I wanted... it's... causing more pain instead of helping..."
[19:38] Rimblade: "Heh."
[19:39] Stromy: Logos...so logic?
[19:39] Rimblade: "Pain's caused by dreams too, ehe.  Hope would be a double edged sword, if we didn't all know that it was a spoon of sorts."
[19:39] Stromy: or is it thinking?
[19:39] Caliga: You might ask Her what she want's she has a mind of her own... and she only knows her love for him
[19:39] Caliga: Antedating anything else
[19:39] Strider: "Caliga why are we here?
[19:39] Stromy: Thinking makes someone who they are?
[19:39] * Nick drops to his knees and just kinda stares at the ground with a somber look on his face.
[19:39] Caliga: Thinking.... makes everything
[19:39] Caliga: All is thought
[19:39] * Elenor still continues to imagine tomes containing the lost magical knowledge of the ancient ArchMages.
[19:40] Caliga: Even on the prime it is the same
[19:40] Strider: "Caliga please awnser me!"
[19:40] * TaloToecan looks on the verge of breaking entirely. "I...I can't! Answer is no answer! Truth is False and False is Truth! I....I....I have had to fight too hard....too fully....to let go. To never dare let her come close to changing her heart and mind! HOW?! HOW am I to adapt?! TOO sudden! Not right!" His speech devolves into rapid squeeks as he shudders and curls up into a ball yet again.
[19:40] Rimblade: "Yup, makes sense."
[19:40] Caliga: I cannot answer quetion you must ask yourself
[19:40] Taimat: "If we are truly free as you claim,then there must surely be another way than death...But I must put my personal struggles behind me,for now. I must concentrate on geeting out of this plane...Without challenges,life is meaningless..."
[19:40] Stromy: So then...our bodies are as they are because we think them to be that way?
[19:40] Caliga: Though I can send you all away from here
[19:40] Elenor: Eh, whatever.
[19:40] * Elenor just stands back and watches.
[19:41] Rimblade: "See?  I SAID you were speakably wise."
[19:41] Strider: "I dont understand Claiga! I can't do this myself! I need help@"
[19:41] Nick: I want out of here.
[19:41] Caliga: Living is struggle
[19:41] Caliga: The purpose fo living is stuggle
[19:41] * Damsel looks towards her younger self, who nods at the truth to Caliga's words, then turns back to looking towards Talo, feeling the need to go to him and yet afraid to hurt him more. The older version shakes her head slowly. "But..."
[19:41] Stromy: Such is life, I am willing to accept this
[19:41] Cerbero: Caliga, what is the reason of our presence here?
[19:41] Caliga: Life without struggle is not life
[19:41] Caliga: It is death
[19:41] Strider: "I know that, I have struggle dmy whole life! And sometimes the struggle is helped by friends!"
[19:41] Cerbero: Ours?
[19:41] Caliga: I cannot answer quetion you must ask yourself
[19:41] Lkeas: Are we... are we not alive, here, then?
[19:41] Caliga: Though I can send you all away from here
[19:41] Stromy: "This is how I see life.  Struggle for meaning, struggle for happiness, struggle for importance.  Life is struggle."
[19:42] Elenor: We're just sitting around summoning random crap at the moment.
[19:42] Cerbero: So the answer is in ourselves.
[19:42] Rimblade: "See?  See?  I am speakably amazed."
[19:42] Strider: "You already said that! I can aks my self all I want but I get no awser!"
[19:42] Elenor: ... and mine kinda broke after Fal, anyway.
[19:42] Nick: I want to leave here...
[19:42] Rimblade: "Besides, there's one thing that you CAN leave here with..."
[19:42] * Stromy focuses on being in the abode on the Prime Plane
[19:42] Caliga: You limit your own imagination by asking or seeking meaningless things Elenor
[19:42] Rimblade: "My faith in the Tome Fairy once again shines forth!"
[19:42] LordBarrius: "So that's it, then...." he slowly sinks to kneel on the ground, feeling unsteady.  "I've...."
[19:42] Caliga: You cannot summon a Mu
[19:42] Elenor: Meh, whatever. Honestly? Everything past the first I was just messing around.
[19:43] Elenor: I'm happy with my life.
[19:43] Caliga: Mu is a wrong question.
[19:43] TaloToecan: "Can't. Won't. Want. Love. Desire. Pain. Can't. Promises. Love. Pain. Dreams. Dreams. Dreams. Dreams. Dream.s Nightmares. Truth. Lies. WHY?!?!"
[19:43] Caliga: It has no meaning
[19:43] Strider: "Ok Caliga so something like that is meaningless to wish for,eh?"
[19:43] Elenor: I don't need anything that I don't already have.
[19:43] De`thion: Yes you can, if the mu your summoning is the creature from the popular playstation game
[19:43] * Strider wishes for a anweser to his question EXTREMELLY hard.
[19:43] De`thion: "Monster Rancher"
[19:43] Caliga: Becuase...
[19:43] * Stromy wishes for life
[19:43] Caliga: The answer to why is because
[19:43] Caliga: Why is a meaningless question
[19:43] * Damsel goes to LordBarrius, sinking to her knees beside him and reaching out to place her arms about him hesitantly, gently. "No, no, please...."
[19:44] Strider: "..."
[19:44] * Lkeas looks at the Damsels, Talo and LordBarrius, then back at Caliga. "What of them?  Is that real?  Will it stay in effect in our plane?  How can the wish have not worked?"
[19:44] Taimat: "Strider...you have been given the best possible answer...You must look into your own heart for the true answer."
[19:44] Elenor: I see no reason to continue making wishes.
[19:44] Caliga: Real?
[19:44] Rimblade: "Oh, Fairy of Tomes, your misplaced wisdom shines before us..... Lighting the mountains, leaving the valleys irritatingly dim...."
[19:44] Clyde: "What ever you wish for, will somehow have a consequence to it?"
[19:44] Caliga: What is real?
[19:44] Stromy: "So if I want to leave here, all I need to do is focus on life and struggling Caliga?"
[19:44] Rimblade: "Granting us wisdom, all about cabage.... giving luck to the soldier.... when he's in the bath!"
[19:45] Caliga: The prophecy you tell all of you is of the self-fulfilling sort
[19:45] Strider: "What?"
[19:45] Taimat: "Everything has a consequence...Be it apparent or not...Every action has an equal and opposite reaction..."
[19:45] Elenor: Though... I wonder where the rest of the seekers are. The frog would have a blast with this.
[19:45] Caliga: Sometimes the effect comes before the cause
[19:46] * Elenor imagines the small plush-frog-golem-curse appearing.
[19:46] Caliga: Casuality is a.... tool of the mind....
[19:46] Strider: "Caliga that breaks the law of cause and Effect though
[19:46] Rimblade: "Haha! Ytilasuac, that is!"
[19:46] * FrogPlushie slowly manifests?
[19:46] * TaloToecan looks over at the younger Damsel intensely saddened and at the same time in intense need. "I.....I....can't be hurt....like that again.........."
[19:46] Caliga: It lets us define.... our boundaries in a way that makes sense
[19:46] Caliga: Then die...
[19:46] * Damsel 's younger self can no longer stand to see Talo in such pain, feeling it herself. Reaching out to him, she tries again to comfort, even if it's a small petting stroke along the back. "Please, Talo. I... I can not bear to see you like this. I... I love you..."
[19:46] Stromy: "But you said that our thoughts had no boundries."
[19:46] Caliga: Life is hurt bioandroid
[19:46] Strider: "Caliga there are no boundries on the mind
[19:46] Rimblade: "To avoid insanity.  I'd hate to go insane.  The world wouldn't make sense."
[19:46] Caliga: To live is to be pained
[19:46] Caliga: Constantly and always
[19:47] Strider: "NO! To live to love!"
[19:47] Caliga: New pains every day
[19:47] * Genoclysm finally thinks for something to wish for. He wishes he wasn't so lost, that he had a purpose that wasn't obscure to him, and that was not against any of his new values, the ones he developed after his defeat on Odeycia.
[19:47] Caliga: But also new joys
[19:47] Taimat: "Hmm...Without boundaries...We would most probably all have gone mad,a long,long time ago...
[19:47] Caliga: New pleasures
[19:47] Stromy: "But with the pain comes many other things"
[19:47] * LordBarrius wraps his arms around himself and curls up, seating himself on his rump so that he can draw his legs in on himself. "I've....no, I can't. I've damaged you so badly, Shayril...."
[19:47] Stromy: "Yes, we agree."
[19:47] FrogPlushie: "Ooooh. Where's this place?"
[19:47] * Lkeas nods.  "One cannot appreciate the joys without the pain.."
[19:47] Caliga: New experiences all but pain is endless
[19:47] De`thion: Durroth would probably agree if the old man was here
[19:47] Elenor: Crazy place where you get things you wish for
[19:47] FrogPlushie: "And who phoned me?"
[19:47] Elenor: Though only within reason
[19:47] Stromy: "Pain is only pain if you view it as such."
[19:47] Caliga: You can never be guaranteed of what you seek to avoid
[19:47] Rimblade: "Er, Kushiel?"
[19:48] Caliga: And in seeking so hard to hide
[19:48] * Nick gets up onto his feet and spits "This is complete bull..."
[19:48] Caliga: You may bring it to fruition
[19:48] Caliga: The prophecy you tell all of you is of the self-fulfilling sort
[19:48] * Clyde stares into the ground puzzled, "We wished...for Lkeas to come back..."
[19:48] * TaloToecan shudders, his eyes blank as he tries to comprehend. "So...much...pain...it doesn't...ebb....ever......."
[19:48] Strider: "To hige from what."
[19:48] Taimat: "Pain is growth...any new experience,be it good or bad...allows us to grow in new ways..."
[19:48] Strider: *hide
[19:48] Rimblade: "Parroting?"
[19:48] Lkeas: What prophecy?  Not the index..
[19:48] FrogPlushie: "So... I could with for the omniverse's ultimate eclair?"
[19:49] Caliga: More then anything pain is caused by expectation
[19:49] * Damsel shakes her head quickly in vehement denial. "No.. Barrius, no. You haven't ever. Don't pull away from me, please. I love you, and I can't bear to see you..."
[19:49] Rimblade: "Haha!  Hope again!"
[19:49] Caliga: And by self limiting standards for what is right
[19:49] Rimblade: "Without it, we'd all be clockwork!"
[19:49] Caliga: For what may bring us joy
[19:49] Lkeas: Do we prophesize our ruin?  Our success?  Our failures?  Our victories?
[19:49] Nick: Pain is a part of life, but there's more to life then pain, if you can't take the pain, endure it anyway, live on.
[19:49] Caliga: For the monogamist pain is bigamy.... for the bigamist pain is monogamy
[19:49] De`thion: Something occurs to me rimblade
[19:49] Stromy: "What use is prophecy if we can change what is to come?"
[19:49] * FrogPlushie indeed wishes for that. It wishes for the omniverse's most tasty eclair.
[19:49] Taimat: "So...what you are saying is,we need to keep an open mind? And not limit ourselves to our narrow vision of the world around us?
[19:49] Caliga: But each CHOOSES what one is
[19:50] * Damsel 's younger self makes a noise of shushing. "I know, heart, I know. That's why I'm here. That's why I wished... for it to end. At least this particular pain. Please..."
[19:50] Elenor: ... I'm content with my life right now. Since I'm done screwing around with the wishes, I'm done with them.
[19:50] Caliga: Each forms their expectation
[19:50] Strider: "Caliga...do we realy have a choice?"
[19:50] Stromy: "How can we choose what we think?"
[19:50] Lkeas: We always have choice.
[19:50] Caliga: Everything is choice....
[19:50] * Elenor looks at Cerbero. "What about you? You've been kind of quiet."
[19:50] Lkeas: It is the nature of free will.
[19:50] Caliga: But we color our choices always
[19:50] Stromy: "The thought occurs because we are conditioned to think in that way."
[19:50] Caliga: With expectation
[19:50] Caliga: With Prejudice
[19:50] Caliga: With the structures of mortality
[19:50] Strider: "Everything. So we choose not to be Uncreated, we can choose not to have our loved ones be killed?
[19:51] * FrogPlushie indeed wishes for the eclair yet again, but harder.
[19:51] Caliga: With the limits of this taboo or that limitation
[19:51] Strider: "I have no limits!"
[19:51] Caliga: And eveyrone has choice
[19:51] * Stromy wishes for infinity
[19:51] Strider: "If what your saying is true then we but forget morals? We have to forget morals to choose?!"
[19:51] Nick: So then what are our choices?
[19:51] Caliga: Whose choice is stronger determines what the world sees in the end.... but how we interpret ourself in that
[19:51] * TaloToecan collapses into clinging to the younger Damsel heavily, weeping freely for what seems to be the hundredth time in naught but a day. "But...don't you see? I...had...to choose...to lose you once...to spare you pain........end confusion.."
[19:51] Cerbero: Elenor... my wish cannot be realized by this realm. This is why I'm quiet.
[19:52] Caliga: Is our burden only
[19:52] LordBarrius: "Wishes become reality....perception...."
[19:52] Caliga: No perception is reality
[19:52] * Clyde looks Caliga, "We wished for Lkeas to come back?"
[19:52] Rimblade: "Yeah, so you know what the tragedy is?"
[19:52] Caliga: Essence is to percieve
[19:52] Caliga: Essence is to be percieved
[19:52] Strider: "So if I wish...it happens..."
[19:52] Elenor: We don't need some stupid wish giving realm to live a good life. 
[19:52] Stromy: "Answer me this Caliga: If we perceive ourselves to be back on the Prime Plane in the Abode there, will it occur?"
[19:52] LordBarrius: "I'm the dividing factor...."
[19:52] Rimblade: "When you turn that reality back into ideas.  That's sad."
[19:53] Caliga: Division is a lie
[19:53] Caliga: Division is an illusion
[19:53] * Damsel 's younger self wraps her arms about Talo tightly, murmuring softly. "I know, heart, I know. And that too hurt... but it can be all right now."
[19:53] Cerbero: Reality is relative.
[19:53] Caliga: In the end there is one omniverse
[19:53] Strider: "Only one!"
[19:53] Caliga: In the end there is one mind
[19:53] Strider: "So we have no Analogs?"
[19:53] Stromy: "The Surpreme Being?"
[19:53] Strider: "We are all one?!"
[19:53] Rimblade: "And in the end, but a single pastry."
[19:54] * Elenor just shakes her head and laughs.
[19:54] Caliga: It is a good pastry
[19:54] * Lkeas shakes her head and moves towards LordBarrius. "This is how her wish manifests itself.  This is how, perhaps, the division may end.."
[19:54] Stromy: "We are all a part of one big Supreme being?"
[19:54] Rimblade: "One Pocketwatch, Over All, Inadvisable."
[19:54] Caliga: French Apple....
[19:54] LordBarrius: "But....what of them?"  He nods at the two Damsels.  "One became two."
[19:54] Rimblade: "With liberty and justice to exactly one half!"
[19:54] Caliga: Division is an illusion
[19:54] Caliga: They are the same
[19:54] Strider: "So
[19:54] Caliga: They are the one
[19:54] Stromy: "But we are individual parts that make up part of the whole of the omniverse"
[19:55] Strider: "Are we all diffrent from each ohter?"
[19:55] Lkeas: But what of what happens upon Lore?  Is that an illusion as well?  What of what the Network seeks to accomplish?  What The'Galin will be forced to do?
[19:55] Rimblade: "You know what the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle said when he was confronted with the idea that 'all places are one'?"
[19:55] Cerbero: Division is relative...
[19:55] Strider: "OR is everyone, evreythiong the same?!"
[19:55] * Damsel 's older version looks at LordBarrius, faintly alarmed. "No. No, you're not. I do this for you both. It was my wish to end the pain I saw, the pain we could not escape, the trap we built for ourselves. This is how it manifests... please... It... is my wish."
[19:55] Taimat: "Ah...LB...Think about what is being said...In two parts,they are still one person,they are still of one mind..."
[19:55] Rimblade: "He said, 'While all places may be but one space, it is, in fact, VERY BIG."
[19:55] Strider: "Caliga...
[19:55] Strider: "Why are you telling us this?!"
[19:56] Caliga: Together they are Sharyril... they are Lkeas
[19:56] Taimat: "Simple...Because it is her choice..."
[19:56] LordBarrius: "No.  No they are not!  She did this to end the pain....but does it really solve it?"
[19:56] Caliga: They are Caliga
[19:56] Rimblade: "Because Caliga is speakably wise!"
[19:56] Strider: "Our wishes...Are you all of our wishes?!"
[19:56] Stromy: "We are all the same thing, we are the Supreme being."
[19:56] Caliga: Division is an illusion
[19:56] Lkeas: Why shouldn't it solve it, brother?
[19:56] Stromy: "Is that right Caliga?"
[19:57] Lkeas: If they are the same..
[19:57] Lkeas: If I am the same..
[19:57] Caliga: You both want the same person and they are the same
[19:57] * TaloToecan continues to shudder and cling to the younger Shayril. The nature of his clinging is almost as if he will never let go. "Please...no more lies...let this be real...please....please...Dear Heart."
[19:57] Strider: "Caliga are you orare you not our wishes?!"
[19:57] Taimat: "It is like looking at two sides of a coin...they look different,but in the end they are the same coin..."
[19:57] * Caliga gestures summoning the Ronin of Dreams
[19:58] Rimblade: "I wouldn't have wished for Caliga.  I'd have wished for Caliga's brother, Marco."
[19:58] * Caliga turns to Ronin
[19:58] LordBarrius: "I...."
[19:58] * RoninOfDreams manifests quite quickly, the nature of the summoning providing what he might not otherwise have had in alacrity.
[19:58] Strider: "No
[19:58] * Caliga they need aid to get back to their Prime
[19:58] Caliga: They think dreams are less real then matter
[19:58] Caliga: They think thoughts less real then objects
[19:58] RoninOfDreams: "This...this place..."  He turns to Caliga.  "I...see.  They are bound by preconceptions."
[19:59] * Rimblade snickers.
[19:59] Rimblade: "The tome fairy'd set us right."
[19:59] Caliga: This is the dayside of the dreamhall
[19:59] Caliga: It is the same
[19:59] * Damsel closes her eyes and continues to hold Talo to her, petting him rhythmically. After a moment she looks between LordBarrius and Caliga. "Please... this needs to remain. For their sakes... it must remain when we return to the prime material."
[19:59] Caliga: Even if it is different
[19:59] * RoninOfDreams nods to Caliga. "Much like I walk the nightside, I can help them."
[19:59] Caliga: You can navigate it
[19:59] Cerbero: CAliga, I believe I understand...
[19:59] * Caliga curtseys
[19:59] Taimat: "Our dreams are what hold us together...What keep us going through all the pain and struggle...Without our dreams,we are nothing...Am I right in this?"
[19:59] * Caliga vanishes
[19:59] Cerbero: Our Prime and this are one.
[19:59] Strider: "Caliga I to understand."
[19:59] Stromy: "I think I understand now"
[20:00] Rimblade: "Well, I must be going."
[20:00] Cerbero: Division is an Illusion... now i get it...
[20:00] Stromy: "Life and dreams are one adn the same"
[20:00] * Rimblade vanishes
[20:00] Rimblade: "Ghahaha!"
[20:00] Taimat: "without one...the other cannot exist."
[20:00] Strider: "There is no Division..."
[20:01] Cerbero: Balance... unity... duality...
[20:01] * RoninOfDreams bows to Caliga, and watches with some amusement as Caliga vanishes. He turns to the others. "The paths I walk...are one and the same to this. I can understand your confusions, why this place conflicts you so. But please...you need to return home. Let me take you there."
[20:01] * Damsel 's older self reaches up with a shaking hand to brush at LordBarrius' cheek. "Please... I am still the same as I was... don't... throw me aside. Don't... leave me..."
[20:01] Stromy: "There is no one or the other"
[20:01] Stromy: "If you would Ronin."
[20:01] Taimat: "Only the whole..."
[20:01] * Lkeas turns to the Ronin and nods curtly. "This has been quite enlightening, but we need a return."
[20:01] LordBarrius: "This only had to be....because of me...."
[20:01] * Nick nods to Ronin, clearly ready to leave.
[20:01] De`thion: aww, but I only just got this thing
[20:01] Cerbero: Thank you, Ronin.
[20:01] Strider: "Take me away..."
[20:02] Taimat: "Thank you...We have learned much..."
[20:02] * Cerbero suddenly creates an image of a red rose in his mind
[20:02] * TaloToecan shudders continually into the younger Damsel, hearing such a familiar voice as the Ronin's even more unsettling.
[20:02] De`thion: and I'm assuming it wont transfer with us
[20:02] * Clyde is ready yo leave.
[20:02] Clyde: to*
[20:02] * Damsel shakes her head, trying to cup LordBarrius' chin and make him look at her, at the sincerity in her eyes. "No. It is because I loved you both. That decision was never any other but mine."
[20:02] * Cerbero concentrates on said image, wishing the rose to appear in his hand
[20:02] Strider: "Ronin can I keep my Fruit Cake?"
[20:03] Stromy: "Why should it not De'thion? Life and dreams are one and the same"
[20:03] * RoninOfDreams looks over at the Damsel's in mild surprise. "Please, if you can carry Talo, and if you can support the Lord Barrius, we need to leave. Follow me."
[20:03] * Lkeas shrugs at De`thion. "How can dreams pass into the waking world?"
[20:03] Strider: "I better keep my damn fruit cake..."
[20:03] * RoninOfDreams gives Lkeas a wink. "You would...be surprised, sometimes."
[20:03] Taimat: "Lkeas...by that same logic,how can life such as us pass into a world of dreams..."
[20:04] * Damsel 's younger self nods in understanding, walking forward. "Of course." The older version, however, can not comply so quickly. "Please. Barrius, love, we need to go."
[20:04] * De`thion sighs
[20:04] De`thion: sword or no sword
[20:04] * Cerbero concentrates his whole self on his wish.
[20:04] LordBarrius: "But Shayril....do you not love him too?  Are those feelings....completely apart?"
[20:04] De`thion: we have to go home I suppose
[20:04] * Lkeas sighs and smiles at the Ronin as she moves to follow him.  "Sometimes I wonder at this game.  Who decides what is possible with us.. is it us, or someone higher, or someone higher still..?"
[20:04] Stromy: "How can life and dreams not pass into each other? How can you forget what we have so recently been taught?"
[20:04] * RoninOfDreams moves over to the older Damsel, and helps pick up LordBarrius. "Hush, let the confusion lay still, she feels for you. That should be enough."
[20:05] * Elenor has remained silent for the last few minutes.
[20:05] Stromy: "Even if they don't go physically, we still remember them in dreams and in waking life."
[20:05] De`thion: logos is it? if you dont make it over with us, perhaps I'll see you again someday when I am more than I am today
[20:05] * Damsel glances towards her other self who holds Talo, then back. "She is free to love him without regret... Just as I am not fully free to love you. The chains... have fallen away."
[20:06] Taimat: "Exactly Stromy...This...Experience...Has taught me much..."
[20:06] Strider: "As it has taught me much as well Taimat."
[20:06] * Damsel tugs gently upon LordBarrius and tries to get him to rise with her. "Please, come. We must go."
[20:06] Stromy: "As it has me."
[20:06] De`thion: after all
[20:06] De`thion: a zanpakuto and its wielder
[20:06] De`thion: are one in the same
[20:07] * RoninOfDreams sighs, putting aside the conversation as he focuses his mind to the task at hand. "By Nyx and by their nature, the paths I walk shall be the Paths onward home." With a nod to the rest, he leverages Lord Barrius up and will proceed to drag him along his own Perceptions to the way back 'home'.
[20:07] De`thion: well then, lets go home
[20:07] * Lkeas motions to the other seekers to follow.
[20:07] * Strider loses his Fruit cake and his Chain.
[20:07] Strider: NOOOOO
[20:07] * Cerbero follows them.
[20:07] * De`thion follows
[20:07] * Nick looks behind him "Goodbye my love..." and turns heel and follows the group
[20:07] * Elenor follows.
[20:08] * Stromy goes
[20:08] Taimat: "For the first time in a long while...My mind is at peace...
[20:08] De`thion: Until we meet again
[20:08] * LordBarrius struggles at first, but eventually just sags in the Ronin's grip, dragged off and sobbing quietly the whole way.
[20:08] * Strider follows the others
[20:08] * De`thion sighs, as he waits for the zanpakuto to dissappear from his hand
[20:08] * Taimat walks with the group. "Following another limits your path..."
[20:08] * Damsel follows after Ronin, trying to keep at least a comforting hand upon Barrius as they go. The younger Damsel follows a bit more slowly, giving that pair a small amount of space, while still gently stroking Talo within her arms.
[20:09] * RoninOfDreams walks with purpose, each step inevitably dragging them back to the Waking world amidst Caelestia. Where the others belong. Where the others feel most at home. "Let us...be there."
[20:09] * Cerbero puts an arm around Elenor "Every wish could be granted there... but all i need to be happy is you."
[20:09] Cerbero: all I need to feel complete is you.
[20:09] * De`thion keeps walking
[20:09] Elenor: I know.. I'm fine with my life as it is.
[20:10] * Nick follows still thinking of what just happened.
[20:10] Elenor: ... though I have to admit something...
[20:10] Elenor: I'm the one that made the plushie appear.
[20:10] Taimat: "I dream for much...But without my dream...I am nothing. I am dead."
[20:10] Strider: " I will forever miss you of great FruitCake."
[20:10] >Ambiance<: The abode reappears The forest vanishes the city rises the city vanishes fair harbor rises
[20:10] >Ambiance<: You appear back in the abode the noises of Fair Harbor at night clearly heard outside
[20:11] * Lkeas takes a deep breath as she watches the familiar surroundings take shape.
[20:11] Lkeas: Home...
[20:11] Strider: Home...
[20:11] * Nick takes no notice and continues to walk past the group and into the hallway.
[20:11] Abode: Home is where ones heart is
[20:11] Fal-away: <End of Epic>
