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!

Don't get me wrong. I want to help them, too.

[Ryo's keeping his tone even and calm, waiting to see how the voice will take that.]

[thequestgiver]

Do you?

Then why do you sleep while all is danced to destruction?

[somewhatpointy]

Maybe I just don't know where to go.

[Still keeping his voice even. He's not expecting a whole lot here to be lucid information.]

[thequestgiver]

Then you are as blind as the rest

[somewhatpointy]

So maybe you could help a blind man see.

[He's remaining as agreeable as possible--for him, anyway--in the hopes of seeing if the voice will give him any useful information.]

[thequestgiver]

[[There was a mad, hysterical laughter that seemed to spit between upper and lower ranges, doubled and echoing]]

If were it at all so easy!

[somewhatpointy]

[Ryo's thinking he's not going to be having much luck here.]

It's worth a shot.

[thequestgiver]

Says one who knows nothing! Why must I exhaust myself once more to drag you into the light you refuse to see?!

[somewhatpointy]

If I ever found my way there, I'd probably be able to help.

[thequestgiver]

Then open your eyes and do so!

[[and with that, the feed cuts]]
