Sessions Worlds and Stuff

*with a bit of a chuckle, the host says,* "you can flat out talk to someone who doesn't exist here. If it'd make you more comfortable though, we can arrange the meeting through a temporary prototyping of the turtle you have there, since you might feel odd talking to your sprite at the same time as when you've got that little fella under your arm."

"Very well. They don't seem to be here yet. maybe you should find a place to sit... Ah, that booth is looking open!" *Av points out a booth where your... 'current' sprite can be seen painting a picture of a flower that has been set up in the seat across from it* []

[|-)] "just taking the time to draw a picture of this rose in my 'no time'. Spare time would be inaccurate."

*over by the... Huh, doesn't seem to be a door... Over by where a door might have been, a confused looking turtle-sprite has arrived* *looks like your normal snappy has found a plate of leafy greens already on the seat besides yours. When did that get there?*

*seeing you, snappy's face lights up* "hello!" *snappy heads on over* "umm... I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused... I think maybe we were planning on prototyping one of the several lanterns that were around the main hive... But then... I'm not sure... Um. And who's this?"

[|-/] "his new sprite." [|-/]

[|-/] "I just make this face when i'm not really wanting to make a face. better than no face at all." [__] ... [|-/] }also, wrong. the flower you prototyped is not a piece of me. it is a manifestation of the presence of my dreaming mind... and, I'm the one who was able to peacefully eject Snappy when they wanted out. but you did get a general frame of the events down." [|-/]
*snappy sprite still seems a little confused, but he's still happy to be able to see you* "It sounds like you've been through a lot... are you doing ok? And I'm glad that little me is doing ok."

[|-/] ... [|-)] *he seems to like your argument about it being considered a piece of his mind* *your food does seem to have been right before you. how'd you miss that?*
"that sounds nice. Its good to know that your getting to spend time with the others on the brighter, more friendly lands, and still make some progress on your own. I think you might be headed down the right path, and thats important since the path a Page walks isn't ever likely to be clear... And a picture sounds nice."
[|-)] *flipping over the paper that he was using to draw the rose, he shows off the Snappy picture*

"thats great! making friends is a great way to make friends"

[|-?] "Shouldn't be easy to get lost around your own land. its all designed well... unless you ever come to a maze..." [|-)] ... [|-/] "but I don't like mazes."

[|-)] "Thankyou. I try..."

"so you did end up headed through the first gate after all? whats it like?"

!!! your quest bed is litterally right there!? !!!

[|-)] "hey, chill it. Its placed in a-" [@-/] "supposedly-" [|-)] "foolproof room. nothing there can kill him on the bed before he's ever learned what its supposed to be. wouldn't want a stunted Page, would we?" [|-)]

...
[|-/] ...

"we shouldn't tell you yet."

[|-/] ... *finishes painting the Rose, and gets up to take the Rose elsewhere*

"where are you going?"

[|-/] "i'm getting myself out of the way. Its clear that i'm interrupting a twin turtle reunion."

"I'm ok with them. I guess."

[|-)] "then I might as well ask your thoughts on my Rose picture." *presents the picture for viewing*

*it almost seems alive*

*SnappySprite is feeling confused, like he's almost figured something out about the way your Rose carrying sprite said some things*

[|-)] "you could say that..."

"Gur? I. is that Rose the real you?"

[@-/] "Bingo. and tough luck. the kid was supposed to figure it on his own." [@-/]

[1-/] ... *Ger pulls the curtain over the window closed* [|-/] "I have a smell, I can survive in a vase, I have normal roots... I do not need sun or water, and I can't be cross-bread with other Flowers. Denizens in general do not have any means of reproduction... though, there is just one exception that I know of. she does have reproductive organs... But thats moreso an exception to the rule. a, necessary 'evil' so that at least one of us understand what having such a system is like."

*Snappy sprite has taken to petting Snappy's head as he sits with a full belly before a plate with a little bit of lettuce left*

"ooh! your thoughts on them?"

[|-/] "well, you remember it all here for here. why not have yourself a secret cove of learning and knowledge. secret even from yourself... if you want, I'll let you in on a little secret..." [|-)]

[@-)] "oh, I've been waiting and wondering what will be added, if anything."

"They sound ok. so long as the wasp one stopped being angry at you."

[|-/] "so secret time... when you leave here, changes in your time and space are removed... changes in your heart and mind are taken, to be given back if you return... changes in breath and blood are taken, to be given back if you return... Doom and life do not matter so much here. you can be alive, you can be dead... you can't die... at least not forever. this neutralization is canceled once you leave. Light is nullified, and void is all this place is... changes in rage are removed..." [|-/] ... [@-)] "But hopes are unique. hopes are an alternative force thats far trickier to manipulate without taking full control of someone... when you leave here, a tiny part of you remains connected to the Hope you develop."

[|-/] hope, rage... heart, mind... light, void... there are an extreme number of specialized comparisons and contradictions contained within the interactions of only 6 of the 12 aspects. Hope is akin to Light, while retaining a deep sense of not being possible to understand like Void. Rage is akin to a void of Mind, yet it is not Heart. Heart and Rage are like chemistry and physics. yet a void of Rage is not Hope... it is very complicated... [|-/]

"its good that your all respecting that you all might have different choices on things"

[|-/] of course.
*that flat person comes over, providing you with a paper and pen. the pen is one of those 4-way color pens*

"well i'm real glad thats happened. I don't want to think of what it would be like in a session where the Players were against eachother."

[|-)] "hehe... To varying degrees..."

"I'm just glad the only example of conflict cooled fast."
