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

"Nah, your fine Gur. I don't mind having you here at all, as long as snappy's cool with it too. I just...apparently asked the wrong question" -You shrug a bit-
"I'm ok with them. I guess."
[|-)] "then I might as well ask your thoughts on my Rose picture." *presents the picture for viewing*
[|-)] "then I might as well ask your thoughts on my Rose picture." *presents the picture for viewing*
-You carefully look over the details of it-
*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*

"wow...thats really detailed. You really seem to like roses don't you Gur? That your theme and all as a denizen?"
-You ask as you consider the painting, then tilting your head at snappy over his expression-

[|-)] "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." [@-/]

"huh...actually I kinda had my suspicions on that one, I just wasn't going to say anything. Given your interest with them, and the form the representation of your sleeping mind took....I thought it might be a good possibility you could be either rose themed in your stylings (wich seemed a little more unlikely with your conserved nature), or plant/rose like yourself. Still thats pretty interesting. Hm...wonder if you smell like a real rose too? Do you make pollen? DO you require water and sunlight? Are you heavily rooted? Could you survive in a vase? Where does the rosey plant end and the denizen attributes begin?"
-A single word seems to pass through all of time...space...and possibility to somehow arrive at this very moment and be heard for just a second before vanishing back into the void-
"nerd"
"nerd"
[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."

"How interesting. It's too bad I won't remember all of this, I'd love to perform a study on you in greater detail. A sentient plant with such properties would be an amazing learning experience to write on"
-shaking your head with a smile, you turn back to your turtle(s)-
"oh snappy, I also met all the other sprites since we last spoke as well. They are...an interesting bunch"

[|-/] "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..." [|-)]

"Alright I'll bite Gur, whats so hush hush"
-Then in response to snappy-
"Um...the wasp one seemed kinda....angry, I thought it was going to kill me the first time I saw it staring at me threw a window....The Lizard one is kinda tough looking but alright, kinda got weird vibes from hobbes while he was around though....oh and speaking of hobbes, the plant sprite seemed pretty nice. I'd love to study them more...but I haven't seen them around much, Hobbes seems to mostly ignore them...huh, with them being a plant, I wonder how well one of your roses would mix with it as a second prototyping gur? I mean, I don't think it's gonna happen, but kind of a neat little idea"

[@-)] "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."

"I don't think hobbes had anything planned. I think daxton has an idea...with all the bodies he's been hoarding...but I don't think he'd do so without hobbes's ok"
"and...our hopes huh? Our hope we develop here....but what sort of things here might give us hopes to hold on to? I mean...I get the whole..."mysterious aspect stuff" but from a scientific standpoint alot of this is hard to wrap my head around"

[|-/] 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... [|-/]

"and yeah...we had a bit of a...rough start, but I think thats how we've been working together as well as we have been"

*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."

-You write down what Gur had said in the 12 aspects and how they might interact with each other. Color coordinating aspects and pairings of aspects by what felt right-
"I imagine with all the sessions that must have taken place it's happened at one point or another....and I think that almost happened with daxton and lucien....because at one point lucien got it in his head blowing up the battlefield might be a good idea....but we talked him out of it. What about you Gur? You've probably been in lots of sessions, ever seen one like that?"
