Who: Any
Where: The Arena
When: Day 234
What: Good Ends

[The Call that resounds from the Arena is loud, echoing to every part of Sabra. A regal crescendo of notes and then anticipatory silence. Should you follow it today, the Arena is that strange darkened landscape again...

Simple darkness fills your vision, no delineation between up and down, walls or even the floor. You can only see the throne in the far off distance, and three pathways each covered with a lush carpet: Red, Black and Dark Blue. One bears the sigil of a compass, pointing the way confidently, another a skeletal serpent reaching up into a cup and the the last, the canny dog embossed into the weave. Should you turn around, there is no exit yet, but there is a small table, filled with punch, and several large party platters filled with a cheese and dip platter.]

[However, should you follow any of the pathways, the landscape begins to change...]

	There's stories. But they're all very special ones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No real ones? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Shakes her head.] Something like that would be magic. We don't have that either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess I've lived too much of my life around magic to even consider what it's like without it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Turns her hands palm up, looking down at the callouses there.] And I don't enough about it to really understand how it's different. Just that . . . there was a feeling, around you. Even if it's not something I can feel any more, even if it's not a sound I can hear, I remember that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-24 06:13 am UTC (link)
	... Is it different now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] roadtothesky 2011-04-24 06:22 am UTC (link)
	I'm different now. . . . I don't want to nibble on you anymore, but I don't really want to do that to anyone any more. But there's still . . . still something. Like if Watanuki's body was just singing a counterpart, before. But now there's bits of the melody, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-24 06:43 am UTC (link)
	That's ... that's pretty accurate, I'd say. I don't have all of the pieces, but I have a lot more now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] roadtothesky 2011-04-24 06:47 am UTC (link)
	It's a good sound. Can . . . I ask? What Watanuki remembered, to change like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-24 06:51 am UTC (link)
	A hundred years of living in my shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You still don't look that old at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-24 07:12 am UTC (link)
	Well -- no. I stopped my time ages ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] roadtothesky 2011-04-24 08:04 am UTC (link)
	Why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-24 04:38 pm UTC (link)
	The woman who used to run the shop ... I was very close to her. One day, I'll see her again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] roadtothesky 2011-04-25 05:12 am UTC (link)
	Do you remember where she went? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-25 05:14 am UTC (link)
	She's dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If Watanuki hasn't aged at all in a hundred years, it might be a really really long time indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-25 05:26 am UTC (link)
	Possibly forever. Or something close to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hesitates a little more, finally just . . . reaching for his hand, curling her fingers around his palm.] . . . you're here now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... that's right. We have wishes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] roadtothesky 2011-04-25 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	More than that. I don't know what the last of Watanuki's memories will be like. Or what happens. But . . . something had to change, didn't it? To come here, after waiting so long. Even if it's no more difference than there is between having a wish, and making it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Monoc- Mingle/SNACK BAR] ghostduster 2011-04-25 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm. I thought I was content to wait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
