Orb post on the cusp of Midnight GHB 20 & GHH 1

[thequestgiver]

[[Again, there's nothing visible on the orb. The sound is muffled, and the voice unidentifiable, yet somehow oddly familiar, even as it changes and sways.]]

There's a spot here... past, present, future... it all comes together, warping all around it with it's weight... [[There's a faint, breathless laughter as the voice grows louder, leaning closer to the cloaked orb as the tone pitches up.]] If I jumped within, I wonder if all could be changed to rip apart that which marches us all to the emptiness that we've been Ordered to....

[[There's a demented giggle that gets higher and higher pitched before exploding out into an unhinged loud laughter, getting louder and higher until suddenly droping to a low note]] How many times will all be moved? To pieces, to pieces all, as we dance away into the next land....

[[There's suddenly silence, heavy breathing barely audible as the shadows from the other side of the cloth covering the orb shift, the shape of fingers becoming identifiable as the cloth wrinkles. When the voice speaks again, it's very low, quiet and shaking.]]

Even these hands hold no power... What good can they do when all is bound....? Too close to that which holds all in its grasp...

Would that they break and bring all to it's end!

[There's a bit of twitching. He really wishes one of the others were here with him, because he is just not good at dealing with unstable cryptic creepy voices. Exasperation wins out over caution.]

Maybe if you'd make sense!

[thequestgiver]

Find me sense in this world and then perhaps it shall fall from my lips!

[dash_dynamic]

[And for a moment, Gunpei looks as though he'd like to counteract that with a witty reply, but...let's face it, the guy who's best friends with a talking dog-car has been hard pressed to find things making sense here.]

But even if this place doesn't make sense, that doesn't mean you've got to add to it!

[thequestgiver]

[[There's a small, demented giggle, high pitched and light]]

But I must... for I was taken away from it....

[dash_dynamic]

[Aw, geez, not the giggle! Not the giggle!]

You were taken away from making sense?!

[Oh, the voice is crazy. That makes Gunpei feel so much better. Not really.]

[thequestgiver]

Stupid stupid boy [[The voice is suddenly deep and angry]] What right have you to judge those of which you have less sense than?!

[dash_dynamic]

[Gunpei visibly flinches back from that.]

I wasn't judging, I was...er...

[Think, man, think!]

I was just trying to understand!

[In kind of a judgmental fashion.]

[thequestgiver]

Do not lie to me! [[This exclamation is suddenly very high pitched to the point where the voice cracks]]

[dash_dynamic]

Ahhhhh...

[Gunpei's trying to think of something to say, but, let's face it. He is considerably freaked out and can't think of anything else to say without setting the voice off.]

[thequestgiver]

Go back whence you came and spoil this ground no longer!

[dash_dynamic]

But I can't get back to where I came from without an Engine's power!

[At least, that's what he seems to think, anyway.]

[thequestgiver]

Then you are of no use to anyone...

Begone!

[dash_dynamic]

[Yeah, voice, you don't have to tell him twice. He's trying to get his orb shut down as quickly as he can.]
