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.

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

[halfwitch]

[It's that weird lady.]

What are you talking about?

[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]

Your moon shattered?

[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...

[demonsintheoven]

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

[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...

[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]

Then why did you tell everyone about it?

[demonsintheoven]

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

[tatra]

I imagine the moon breaking apart would have similar effects. [ Seriously, you should have seen this place. ]

[demonsintheoven]

But the world didn't fall apart. Only the moon... falling into sparkly shimmers of ice...

[tatra]

It turned to ice? Not bits of rock?

[give_kitty_cake]

So why did you say that it would?

[demonsintheoven]

[[she nods, head rolling to the side slightly.]] It never makes sense in my head...

[demonsintheoven]

Because it will. Even though it can't.

[tatra]

Have you any idea what it might mean in the physical realm?

[give_kitty_cake]

If it can't then it won't. It must be something else that breaks?

[demonsintheoven]

[[There's a long pause before she shakes her head]]

[demonsintheoven]

It could be. Or it could just be wrong... sometimes it is. But not often enough.

[give_kitty_cake]

Do you always see these visions when you drink?

[Koma can't help but wonder if these are true visions or a 'pink elephant' moment. ]

[demonsintheoven]

And when I don't. Easier to ignore them when I'm drunk. Not this one. This one won't shut up. It wants to be known. Visions shouldn't have wants, it doesn't help... [[sighs, sounding exhausted]] Nothing helps...

[give_kitty_cake]

It sounds like a real vision then. You shouldn't try to fight it. If it will come anyway there is no point in trying to. You will just make yourself sick.
