Who: Lucifer & Istredd When: Eifstide's period + November Where: Thorne What: The worst people to be dealing with children (Child's Play quest). | Istredd's No Good Very Bad Reckless Experiment Warnings: N/A first thread, angry/yelling/violent Lucifer second thread.
"Well they started all of this in the first place by Summoning us, so of course if they can make it worse, they will." Humans! And he is a human, but he still knows that humans is a reasonable response to that. Istredd's been annoyed about the Summoning since the start. He wants to be here, he wants them to stay there, but it doesn't change that every new group probably destabilizes the sphere more. They rip apart time and space to bring each person here.
He runs his thumb along Lucifer's face when he brings their hands there, keeping that grasp. He always appreciates physicality between them, sometimes he really does need it to even think clearly. It's always better when they're working as a team. Sometimes he forgets that (hmm, wonder when).
"The Summonings need to stop. They won't listen to us, but that would be a place to start." They can't bring more people in, especially as he's noticed the number of people leaving has gone down substantially too. There's more of them sticking around, taking up space and energy. Alucard pointed it out on his post. "Maybe we should stop going into the Horizon. It could be feeding into our energy every time we're in that space it created." But his library! He would hate that.
"Maybe if we can finally convince them that they're feeding their problems instead of what they're trying to achieve," Lucifer says, "but that requires all three territories agreeing, and being at war," har whoops, "means they have little reason to agree to it. If Thorne stops Summoning, Free Cities will take the advantage--with the argument once more surely won't sunder the world--and who the hell knows what Solvunn is up to at any given time, stealthing around as they do, despite finally getting real attention on themselves."
Lucifer has said since the BEGINNING that there was no such thing as a neutral territory, after all.
"Or every time we change it." The Horizon is a thought, but the old gods have a layer somewhere, too. Maybe if they could combine the spaces...
Your stupid dirt, sorry, Istredd, it's not stupid, where's that stand? Istredd had already mentioned a soil sample, and he knows Istredd wouldn't have gone and not gotten any more dirt anyway. They can't get near the crater, especially if it's moving, so they have no way to verify. Is there some lie we can spin?
There's the reason why it's the first time Lucifer's been more words than emotional thought over the bond since Istredd got back. It's the whole reason Lucifer from the get-go pushed the form of communication, though he would never understand the extent of it, or what he was agreeing to at the time. Privacy, security, and never trusting Horizon Instant Messaging.
Use it and the tremors as some form of discouragement towards the Summoning ritual?
"Solvunn thinks it's the will of the gods that the spell works and they're here. Stopping it would require the gods to tell them to stop it." And there's no control of those as far as he knows. It would work to get Solvunn to stop, or maybe the Summoned can try to speak for the gods. In a way, they would be the easiest to handle with the right angle.
"The Free Cities is the problem because they want to destroy the Singularity and don't believe in much of anything outside of their own power. They would see it as a chance to be stronger. And I don't think any of our people have enough sway." Thorne there is a small possibility, but not enough. Stopping the Summoning would be a way, although it's a guess on their part. All of this is a guess, but theorizing is what they do best.
It proves that there's more magic on the soil now then there was before. My initial examination before was that there was no more magic in the crater than anywhere else. That's different now. It's more powerful. So it only confirms what they think. The Singularity is growing in power and it's showing itself in the very earth beneath them. It's effecting more of the world.
"If we could stop the ritual and stop visiting the Horizon, we could see if there's anything visibly showing the change. But the Dimming is too soon, everyone would have to agree to it immediately. If it's not slowing down, I'm not sure we can stop it. It's possible it's already too late."
