Alvios listened intently to Jenso's [i]extremely long and winded[/i] story about Yzeira's history in general, having enough time to adjust and get comfortable in the length of the speech. After it was finally over, rather than recite everything, he decided to try and focus on the key points of what he'd been told. [color=mediumorchid]"Glad there's some names now. Seems like you two were given much more direct information than I was. Seems as though Nexus was giving me Alexis' history in particular; others she worked with were 'jealous' about her eyes? She set off on her own eventually to search the mysteries of the universe and the energy between worlds - the Void. She was lost for meaning despite her success... she touched the Void, but wanted more knowledge, to fill the void in herself. She apparently found meaning once, but it was stolen from her."[/color] Alvios cleared his throat, quoting Nexus directly for the last portion. [color=mediumorchid]"Sadness, anger, joy... All of it wells endlessly. She seeks now, only to know herself. "What is life, if one has to live it without a name?"[/color] Tapping his chin, he looked between Bruce and Jenso. [color=mediumorchid]"So all of our stories focus around Yzeira's history. Bruce learned about Nexus, Jenso learned about Yzeira himself, and I learned about Alexis in some off manner. I can't help but feel mine is the most obscure. Nexus said she was still [i]'seeking to know herself.'[/i] Not sure if that's supposed to be metaphorical or not anymore. More directly important though, is meta energy and it's relation to Ki and the void. Considering void is the energy between worlds, it [i]might[/i] be possible to escape by tapping into that. Risks of insanity are a little obsolete in this situation. How we do that, though... damn. It'd be nice if Oswald was here."[/color] Alvios paused, and turned to Jenso. [color=mediumorchid]"We'll need to think about this more. If I'm right though, and finding out how to tap into the void with our Ki to somehow manifest meta energy... Jenso, you aren't doing it. The risk of you losing your identity and sanity is probably exactly what Yzeira would want most right now."[/color]
