A Couple of Questions [Post Greek Jaunt/Carousel Liminal, Day 3]

[naturaltwohands]

[Someone was a nerd and has been thinking about this an awful lot before asking his questions. Which might be noticeable.]

My greetings, fellow Travelers. I have two questions to ask of you.

Firstly—what transpired during the last Jaunt? My Overlay was not... privy to most of the details.

Secondly—and perhaps more personally—are there others Marked by Astræa—by Justice? I am curious.

Her hope is the universe can be reformed in deference to her better half if she is the victor. It would be up to us to make it so.

[mytearsaremine]

How? How would we determine that?

[naturaltwohands]

I believe if we win in the way of better Justice, then the universe will better exemplify those qualities.

... although I still prefer everything to stay as it is now.

[mytearsaremine]

I don't know. It's not really very fair, now. Bad things happen to good people all the time, and good things happen to bad people. I wouldn't mind the world being a little less random like that.

[naturaltwohands]

Indeed, they do. But it is still dealing with the realm of gods when we are mere mortals. There is only so much that we can hope to comprehend.

[mytearsaremine]

That's why we ask them to explain it to us better. So we can understand.

Besides, I'm part eldritch. That's kind of like being part god. That doesn't make me better than you, and it doesn't make them better than us.

[naturaltwohands]

They are trying. We are as incomprehensible to them as they are to us. And she will respond to questions if you truly need answers.

It is not better, simply different. Concepts that exist to them do not exist to us and the reverse. That, and their ability to experience moments independent of themselves. Too many would shatter a mortal mind, I fear.

[mytearsaremine]

Then they should spend more time with us and try to learn, maybe. I mean, that's how you learn about somebody, right? You spend time with them and talk with them and stuff.

And I think you and them both underestimate mortal minds. We're stronger than you think.

[naturaltwohands]

I agree; they should spend more time among us.

[A chuckle.]

I am certain I could not experience so many things as they do and hold onto my mind. Many moments simultaneously. It is beyond me.

[mytearsaremine]

I'd still rather try than just assume I can't do it.

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt realizes he won't dissuade her.]

It is something I am not willing to risk; my mind is not built for such things. Perhaps you would have better luck.

[Since she said she was part eldritch.]
