They say it's about the journey, not the destination. This is true of many things. Pizza delivery is not one of them.

TFW you know what you want to happen but the words aren't cooperating. Why is plot suddenly so much harder to write?

So ded. Cannot brain. Just one massive poorly coordinated and balance-lacking headache. But don't send help. I don't want to people either. X.x

Glad to see I'm not the only follower of Lord Cato, god of wisdom, on this most auspicious Superb Owl Sunday.

Bio

I am an adult, though I don't usually act like it. I'm a voracious reader, and not overly picky about books. I am artistic in a variety of areas, including music, drawing, writing, and sculpting. I have a minor obsession with dragons, and love the color violet. Fantasy is my preferred genre, be it past, future, urban...as long as it has a fantasy flavor to it. I also like scifi, mystery, and some horror. I am crazy, and I like tormenting my characters. But I don't bite...much. ^.~

@Lovejoy *snuggles* your world and writing is making me spin all kinds of ideas and questions, so I'd say you're doing exactly that!
@Scout *eager wriggling!* I love DMs that can pull something like that off! It's not easy to do.
@Draken I took it as truth because Lovejoy said it, not a character...but then, DMs can and do keep secrets! Clearly something is going on. But instead of the ice titan surviving, I'd theorize that perhaps a sliver of it survived.

Although when I put it that way I realize that a sliver /did/ survive -- in the Omestrians!
*ded*
@Lovejoy@CollectorOfMyst Not only that, but blue. I mean, what else blue have we seen lately...? *wiggles* And this means the Omestris pair are next! SO EXCITED!
NOT ME. *hides* dear gods no, please. I nominate Foster!
@Lovejoy oooh, hm.

...I wonder, Antonin and Creid? Or...Indira, perhaps? Although Antonin would be weird with the 200-year-old-and-probably-gonna-live-until-killed thing.
@CollectorOfMyst

The odds of Ziotea not ripping the card up and chucking it are slim. Impossibly slim. Besides, that's so formal...and this is a bunch of kids. It might not be historically accurate, but I'm going to pretend dance cards aren't a thing unless that particular person really wanted them to be. ^.^;;

Besides, what about cutting in? C'mon, it's not a good party unless someone gets decked, after all!
@CollectorOfMyst except this is in the world war...one? ish? era, if we go by tech. Sorta. So I'd expect swing is around somewhere, too, some jazz, blues, stuff like that, and their associated dances.

But hey, if you want a quadrille, sure! Most really old dances were more social than paired, anyhow. Right?

...And now I'm seeing all the inquisitors forced to squaredance. Can you imagine X-XVII standing at the front of the hall, calling for them all to "swing your partners, round you go, and with your corner do-si-do"? *chortle*

@Lovejoy I figure this is early enough that they're still around. Ziotea has had to learn how to handle people, and besides she likes dancing. ...At least with Rodion.

I wonder if anyone else would dare ask her for a dance? *amused*
@Lovejoy@CollectorOfMyst I mena, a scary guy is gonna generate legends that just plain aren't true, whether he can do the deed or not. And if he has assistance going back, those people might remember a little. I would imagine that there is still some chaos theory -- he doesn't know the full outcome if he changes anything at all, and people don't realize a lot of that has been changed -- but the knowledge that he did /something/ would remain with a couple people. And perhaps the memory of what his goal was?

In other words, wibbly wobbly timey wimey. ^.^;;

I really hope they're not dead, though. And, I mean, since a number of our Culmination visions imply that /we/ die too, maybe they aren't? *hoping*

...If not going to the Rising was an option, Ziotea might have tried to ditch too. She and Rodion probably made an appearance, stayed for a little, and then left.
