Shards of Memory- Prologue: Fractured Union Part II

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“How many books to you have in that purse of yours my love?”

*Zaeryn asks, as he relaxes against Valyssa...after receiving an answer to that question he asks another:*

“Hmm, do you have any idea what time it is or how we’re even supposed to tell time in wildspace?”

OOC: Can’t say I’ve ever looked at it as in-depth as that, I just read them Well no one ever said Robert Jordan was original. [/SBLOCK]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil:[SBLOCK]

"Yes...I guess it is...but it still leaves me alone, lost in the decision without guidance..."

"I don't think that's necessarily the case, little one," Yuriko offered. She thought a moment, mindful of what she had to say . . . knowing that she was most likely leaving this very evening. "Yu is here, but he is a boy," Yuriko rolled her eyes and what she had always imaged a sibling rivalry would be like, "and he'll have to look to you. I am here and will offer what guidance I can . . . your ancestors will as well . . . so long as you understand the choice is yours. The elders and the masters here are very wise and could certainly offer advice, provided you explain that you want to make the decision yourself, but you are looking for what ever insight or information or advice they may have."

“How many books to you have in that purse of yours my love?”

"Only a few--they're big books and they take up a lot of space...I'm borrowing some of these from Alyria."

“Hmm, do you have any idea what time it is or how we’re even supposed to tell time in wildspace?”

"Well, you just pick what you want your time to be and work with it, I guess..." Valyssa ponders.

(OOC: Well I did )

"I guess so...I just...I'm not ready for this responsibility...I just want to be a little girl, where someone else can make the choices for me and I can just be carefree and play..."

[SBLOCK]
“Oh, okay, can I borrow Sybaritic Arcana: Magical Assiduity Towards Superlative Succor again please as I’m only halfway through.”

OOC: Was that an answer to statement one, two, or both?[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Oh, sure. I haven't returned it to her yet, though I did finish."

*Valyssa reaches into her purse and pulls out the large book, handing it to Zaeryn. Of course, even with only a few, it's still pretty weird that she has all these books in that little purse.*

(OOC: Mostly #1, as for #2--I think his theme is original, though it causes allusions that are, of course, unoriginal)

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn begins to read from where he left off, not thinking it’s that strange as he could probably squeeze a few books into his satchel as well.*[/SBLOCK]

*Zaeryn and Valyssa read together for a while, enjoying the books and each other's company. Eventually, Zaeryn finishes his book, and Valyssa asks:*

"Want to grab a bite to eat and then try some hard-core dance lessons?"
[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]*Returning the book, Zaeryn stretches again before replying:*

“Yes and after the dance lessons I think another trip to the bath will be in order.”

OOC: Really though who is considered completely original these days, as even if you’ve never read author X someone may compare your work to theirs anyway.

OOC: And yes I sometimes give myself a break with the OOC responses, just so I reply faster.[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Yes, that would be very nice, I think--we could even try some dancing in the baths...how would that be?"

(OOC: That's very true. I know I've come up with stuff and then discovered later that someone else already did it. Like I independently came up with Pascal's Wager and disproved it when I was in grade school before knowing that Pascal came up with such a thing or that others had disproved it the same ways)

(OOC: Heh, no problem )
