Orb: 12th of Rebirth’s Height

[demonsintheoven]

[[For once, Snow isn't in a back ally somewhere. She's somewhere far more green, but still flat on her back, staring vacantly up at the orb. The very edge of an empty bottle of wine can be seen in the grass to her left]]

Have you ever seen the moon shatter? It shouldn't... the moon's a big rock in the sky, like a smaller Earth, but dead. Dead, dead, dead, so dead it was never alive... [[she sighs, eyes drooping]] Can't shatter. I don't like seeing it do things it can't. So many things do that, don't they? Things move when they shouldn't, appear where they can't, change when they should stay the same.

[[She is quiet a moment, blinking, her eyes utterly unfocused]] Stay inside when the moon shatters... don't let it fall on you. It's too cold to be under a dead moon.

[tatra]

It certainly has gotten cold, lately. Is it so impossible, for something so vast to be utterly destroyed? It has happened before.

[demonsintheoven]

Your moon shattered?

[tatra]

Not quite. Cephiro shattered, when its Pillar died. The land fell into ruin, whole chunks fell off into space until hardly anything was left.

[demonsintheoven]

Oh... [[it was a small, tired reply]]

[halfwitch]

[It's that weird lady.]

What are you talking about?

[demonsintheoven]

[[For a moment, Snow's eyes seem to clear and for a brief moment, she looks actually awake and alert...

and then it's gone]]

I don't know...

[halfwitch]

Then why did you tell everyone about it?

[demonsintheoven]

To get it out of my head. It wanted to be heard...

[give_kitty_cake]

Why would the moon shatter?

[Koma does look up to see if she can even see the moon or not. ]

It has no reason to.

[demonsintheoven]

No, it doesn't. Which is why it shouldn't.

[give_kitty_cake]

So why did you say that it would?

[demonsintheoven]

Because it will. Even though it can't.

video;

[magicalflowers]

A moon shattering is something I've never heard about before. So, no it's not something I've seen.

It's always video with the orb :)

[demonsintheoven]

Doesn't seem like it can happen, can it? Maybe I'm wrong.... I hope I am... I'd like to be wrong more... [[sighs, putting her arm over her eyes.]] it's easier to be wrong...

I know, it's just habit though =3

[magicalflowers]

Let's all hope that it isn't true. I'm sure sure what damage could happen if it were.

No worries. :) I sometimes do it too.

[demonsintheoven]

Like a falling star... but shattered so fine into dust...

[brosif]

I've seen dead moons, lady. This does not look to be one of them.

[demonsintheoven]

Not now. Not after either. But it's so loud....

[brosif]

Not now. Not after. When?

[demonsintheoven]

I don't know. Soon. It never is clear when... [[she sighs, putting a hand to her forehead before pushing her bangs back out of her face]] Wasn't full, wasn't half, somewhere in between... then fragments of cold raining down....

[notyet_king]

[her words... they are oddly sad as well as poetic in their soft lulling and Thor, as he approaches closer to listen, where usually he disregarded Orbs, smiles.

It's normally for fear of more venom from his brother when he couldn't reach him yet - but this -]

The moon will yet live, my lady. But I trust you have shelter when it falls, if you warn the rest of us?

[demonsintheoven]

[[she shrugs slightly]] DarkChyld won't let me in when I drink... and I'm already cold. [[she sighs, eyes closing]] And so tired of fearing what can't be...

[slasher]

Ah, I'm sorry--I don't think I quite understand what you mean...

[demonsintheoven]

No one does. Not even me. [[she sounds... oddly cheerful there.]]

[slasher]

The moon shattering... is that some kind of metaphor?

[...or maybe an English idiom? Her language skills are pretty good, but sometimes it confuses her.]
