[ Loki's skin is pale; he, once again, looks human, his eyes green, his hair dark. His fingers are restless, tapping. ] Shall we have a tale?

Here, I believe the appropriate beginning is, let's see... Once upon a time.

Once upon a time, there was a little world. It had no boundaries, but it was small enough that it needed no boundaries. More on that later, I certainly expect. This world was made by balance between order and chaos. Order created and arranged, and chaos introduced an element of randomness. Evolution. Each required the other to innovate.

But, then, Order isn't so very good at innovation, is it? Perhaps inevitable that one day Chaos would begin to dominate. The balance reels, and the world changes -- or perhaps it's that the world changes, and the balance tips. Either way, each avatar, one of order, one of chaos, are locked in eternal battle. Thorns began to spread, and so Order had to try, again, to reach beyond itself. Literally, this time.

As we stand: order reached to heroes, but could not cope with the element of instability the heroes produced. Thus, it boxed them into confined roles, shaved off the bits of them that would not fit.

Take care, heroes, for chaos would destroy everything -- but order would destroy you from within.

This is, as it stands, all I know. Let you ignorants be satisfied with that.

[Liara rose and walked to the door carrying the magical book in one hand and a candle in the other. A little juggling, and she managed to get the door open...though it took her a moment to look up from the gossip to smile at Loki.]

It seems you and I are actually siblings. Possibly. I thought you should perhaps...you're not blue anymore.

[She actually sounds surprised, despite the colour (or lack of it) being visible in the orb when they spoke earlier.]

Sorry. Phone died yesterday so I couldn't hit tags from work.

[Liara manages to cover her surprise at the sudden change, but she sounds impressed when she speaks.]

I know of beings capable of changing colours, but I've never met a sentient one with nearly that level of control.

[After he entered, she closed the door and offered him the book in her hands.]

This one seems to interact with the board where all of the information is posted. Write in it, and the writing appears on the board, as well. This isn't the interesting one, however.

Yes.

[She follows him into the library.]

The one you have seems to be full mostly of garbage, though it goes back some time. There is a chance there's good information in it that was missed at the time.

The other is less...exuberant.

[She walks over to a book laying on a table, one with a place for a lock, but no lock to be found.]

Bakura arrived, as near as he can remember, in the first group transported here by the books. On the 17th of the Beginning of the Season of Rebirth, in the 137th year since the wall fell. He has confirmed from memory some of the other events mentioned. A town that was really only an illusion, for instance.

[She picked the book up and walked over, opening it to the first page.]

We didn't discuss the details at length. Only enough to establish that the timeline indicated within approximated events. This is the first real history we've seen here, and it's pretty paltry fare.

Still, there are interesting pieces to it. Like this.

[She points to the first entry.]
shadow_sage: (Well...um...)

[personal profile] shadow_sage 2012-09-12 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Though they are approximations, not actual, well-recorded histories, framed in fantastical terms intended to make this sound more like a story than our lives, the rest of the entries seem to indicate events that happened.

It doesn't make sense that they would lie in the first entry. Embellish, maybe.

Whoever thought to bring us here might have found references to such a feat from some past battle. Maybe it doesn't mean us, but the fight itself. The Wall. 137th year since the wall fell. Must have been an important wall, to mark the calendar's date with it's failure.

[She pauses, flushing a little darker as she looks up at him.]

Um, sorry. You said something when you spoke over the orb. About boundaries. What was it?
shadow_sage: (Someday)

Mmm. I half expect the answer to be something like, 'It was a Wall.' Talking to these people is worse than chatting with Avina about Sovereign, half the time.

[She drops her question at that; for now, at least.]
