Who: Everyone
Where: In the Sacred City
When: King’s Year 199, Mid Winter to Late Winter
What:

[The days pass. The sun, gentle and warm, takes its steady course across the sky. Many marvels have sprung into the world. The library to the east starts filling with books from every place who had room on their wagons for them. The forges fill with craftsmen. The temple receives offerings and sacrifices of burned meat and sacred mementos regularly. The Arena is a favored place of Pyxis who wish to forget the limits of the land they're in. Those who've the know-how have begun to till the land and found it fertile. And in the north, some have begun making a shrine to the recovery of the Old Man. Docks have begun to be built upon the great lake, and most have delighted to find that the vegetation here regrows at a miraculous pace.

... Life continues on.

But not without its sorrows or its signs.

Hit hardest were the some of the order of Ophiuchus... the priests of the sea wept openly at something only they could hear as their amulets broke and shattered with the hiss of evaporating water. At the sound, the few priests who remain of the Daughters of the Sky, Gentlest of Lights looked up with dead eyes, saw no sign of their patron in the miraculous sky, drew curved crescent daggers from their sheaths. The forests. The plains. Minor spirits. ... By the madness of many and the deaths of more... what was not here, IS truly gone, and many whom were so blessed are now cursed. Though many people take heart in the fact that most of the Order of Ophiuchus remains still, true and deeply connected with their God, soothed by their presence.

And perhaps the most disturbing feeling rumors have come from the earth shamans of Canis. That they cannot shake the feeling that we are not where we were.

That we are deep.

....

The sun rises, gentle and warm. The grass is soft below your feet and the aroma of wildflowers brushes past your nose.

The wind blows softly, bringing a cool touch to your skin.

It is another day, life continues on.

((OOC: Use this how you like! Day in the life, information pooling, playing out what your people are doing in this time! Just whatever threads!

As a headsup, history posts, both pre cataclysm and after can be made through Thursday only! Backthreading IN them of course will be okay as long as anyone likes but nothing new after then!

As a reminder, we are wrapping up on Thursday!))

You don't get it! It wasn't- I-it wasn't just luck! I was sickly all the time.

[he picks up the piece of wood she tossed aside earlier and throws it down and away from where they are, where it buries itself part way into the ground]

This strength I have, how far I can jump and leap, none of this is how I should be! If I have to be the same as those things, then the least I could do was use it to fight against them! If I'm not doing that, what makes me any different!?

That... [he lowers his voice abruptly, harshly, he doesn't want to catch his attention] Surgeon. Corpus. He wanted to see what happened, if you started with a human and... changed it. To be like those things.

[You have probably seen her this mad before. But not often.]

He did what?

[he's looking up now, watching her steadily. ...it's actually a relief in a way, to see her this mad. She'll get it now, what's wrong with him, what's always been wrong with him]

I don't really know the specifics, but that's what he did. That's why I'm like this, why I'm even alive, the red eyes, the rage, the times I couldn't control myself.

He changed you. He tampered with you like you were some sort of toy.

[you're getting mad about the wrong thing. Alfaet... he really stayed with her too long, and even if he spent all this time lying to her, she's really going to care about him now, even with what he's saying he is?]

But that's not the point!

He tried to make you into one of them! If he'd done it, you'd be the same way they are!

If that's not the point, what is?

The point is... I shouldn't be here! [repeating himself isn't a good argument, so he has to put this into words, something, come on, please, understand]

I didn't die then, so I thought... it'd be okay, as long as I could control myself, behave long enough to accomplish something. But, now, if there's nothing I can do, they're all gone—

I.

...it's not safe. There's no reason, and it's hard, to hold back all the time the way I really feel. It's dangerous, it's dangerous for me to be here. I mean, in the past, you've always been there and I knew that if you knew what I like, that you wouldn't want to help me, and that was good enough for that part of myself! But... there's nothing, anymore.

I don't want to end up hurting anyone.

So you're giving up, just like that?

[Turns away and tosses aside both the knife and the ward, face hidden so that you miss the calculated way her jaw sets and her eyes narrow, in the same manner they often do when she's working out a plan.]

I always knew you were dangerous when you wanted to be, but I never knew you were a defeatist coward.

[Turns back to face him.]

You're too afraid of yourself to do anything anymore. Isn't that what you're saying?

What do you want me to do, demonstrate that you can't trust me? You're not listening to me at all.

[because I am whining and having stupid self-defeatist angst, BUT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS IS LEGITIMATE]

No. We're going to find another way.

Or we're going to set our sights a little higher.

[he lifts his head from staring at the ground to look at her. is she suggesting what it sounds like?]

You want to try fighting them, if that's what it comes down to?

I promised myself whatever it took.

If that's what there is left... I'll do it.

[he pauses to consider, and eyes closed. he's not that hard to convince, for someone who so adamant a moment ago. maybe because part of himself never would have agreed to what he was just doing. If there's still something he can do, if he can still help then... maybe, it will be okay. If he's here, a while longer to help.

he opens his eyes and smiles, bright familiar and fake, (though maybe not so much as normal)]

Sorry ma'am, you're right. If there's still something we can do, I'll help.

[Except this time, she's going to call him on it. How dare you voice suicidal thoughts, you aren't allowed to get yourself killed after she's gotten attached. >(]

Good. Now wipe that idiotic smile off your face so we can talk business.
