[There's the usual static hum on everyone's PCD, as the screen goes black. After a moment, a low flute tone starts up, continuing as a background melody throughout. For anyone who hears it, it would sound vaguely familiar, from their home world- though played inexpertly, as if they couldn't entirely remember how it was supposed to go.]


too soon, too early

not quickly enough

calm down, take a breath we're still setting up
we'll take it apart
you always do

we can carry it ourselves
is it really necessary

^finally, that's better
wait what's going on

Sorry -- it's hard to tell sometimes when you all speak at once or argue with each other -- the PCDs aren't exactly great at sending the right messages from you all.

Is this you, then? The one who wanted the city to flood? Or was it someone else?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

for now

the other-other her likes floods
the fire didn't like that, but it wasn't its turn
Not that we could read the skies either.

[flameandpassion]

The stars are different here from home -- you should know that. The sky isn't going to tell you anything you need to know.

How do you know the flood didn't work?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

And of course it didn't work.
Didn't see the bodies we wanted.

[She grins a little, at the 'it's hard to argue with fire', before she focuses on the important part.]

What bodies did you want to see? Do they have names?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[flameandpassion]

[Good to know.]

Do you remember your own name?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[flameandpassion]

Thalatte is what you are, isn't it?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[flameandpassion]

But it's not your name.

[flameandpassion]

[She purses her lips.]

... the next time we speak, if I find a name you like better than Thalatte, will you tell me more?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

[flameandpassion]

... what do you want me to find?

[Not that she's giving up on this name business.]

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

Though it's not as good a name as ours.

[flameandpassion]

[If you know what to call it.]

Fine. I'll do it.
