The mall was huge, and she had no idea where exactly one found baskets, as apparently there was a complete lack of Basket Depots in the near vicinity. giving up on the directory after only a moment (the thing listed countries on it, for pete's sake, and no one found a political system in a mall, did they?) and bounced back over to Strife, taking his hand once again and pulling him along with her.
"We shall just find a place... "
Down the corridors they went until she found a place that seemed suitable. "Pottery barn... maybe they sell baskets and pots?"
Releasing Strife's hand she went inside, assuming he'd follow behind her as she began to make her way through the strange and bizarre conglomeration of knick-knacks waiting for dust and furniture pieces that looked lovely in the store, but looked like they'd look like things that only looked lovely in a store once a person got them home. They had different sorts of wicker, which looked promising, and she had just spotted some basket like devices when she caught a bit of movement out of the corner of her eye... all very deja-vu and reminding her of Rhea on Othrys.
"Hold up... I'll be right back..."
Towards what looked like a display of wall mirrors and clocks she saw something that caught her eye... a flash, a bit of movement... something she couldn't not go over and investigate... she was still looking for it when she realized there was a fog around her and the mirrors, a fog that closed in on her with a decidedly un-good speed. She opened her mouth to call for Strike, gasping as she realized no sound was escaping at all. there was a moment of panic, then calm. It rolled over her, like this was the balance she'd never been able to achieve before... an internal balance, they just thrust her onto an even keel. With it came a sense of rightness, a sense of wholeness... of being more.
It took a while for her to realize she didn't even feel the absence of others in her head... that everything she normally felt, each connection... was either gone, or muted away.
But she could tell... She could feel... that this was OK. It wasn't unlike falling into a new world.. just a world without others.
There was little else but to be Balance... and things seemed a long more balance on this new level.
