RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Starcey thought about what he said for a while.

Changing the subject, she then posed the question: "That purple thing that hit you in the forehead earlier, what do you think it was?"

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Raelan paused, he had so much swarming through his head that it took a few seconds to even remember what she was talking about. Then he had to analyze. "Hmm... I'd forgotten about that, with the flaming aura of death you were putting out right then. I would say a very broken version of telepathy, rather, an empathy, By the color and effect. To connect with the very vague shallow surface thoughts, or emotions, it would let you understand them better. Something like that. That area is not really my strong point. Probably stronger than you usually manage because you were focusing your magic."

Now that he remembered it, that moment it had rebounded and given him a tiny view of her as well. He sure as anything wasn't about to tell her that now. It was strange, but somewhat peaceful to suddenly be sharing your mind like that. If it had happened for longer there may have been some clashing, due to the hostile circumstances, and their predatory natures in general. One reason he'd never experimented was that he wasn't sure anyone he tried on would have a strong enough mind to match him, and he didn't want to hurt anybody, stuff like that has to be carefully regulated. At least if it ever went beyond empathy.

"Hahaha - so you're saying I'm psychic? I love that; that's a good one. So tell me, wise one, what other powers do I possess?"

She was being consciously snarky, but on another level she had to admit that was a little curious...

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Raelan came out with his smile again

"More likely empathic, have you ever known what someone was feeling even when they didn't show it on their face, or express it at all? You just looked at a guy with a stone blank face, and thought, he's nervous, I wonder why? Now you may be doing the same thing I do, and looking at the animal signals, or some combination of the two.

As far as what else you do, I have no idea. the exercise I tried to put you through was to teach you what using it felt like, so that you might be able to identify when you are, and that would give us a better guess, maybe if you alerted me quick enough we could get a look at it. If you want a 'wise one' talk to Lao-Tsu." He waved a hand dismissively.

"I'm learning everything one step at a time, sometimes the hard way. And that is all I can offer anyone else." He used his earlier metaphor of a river completely unaware of what was in Starcey's letter. "I'm a wild river bouncing along the rocks and frothing madly, carving my own path with difficulty, I make better progress some places than others. Lao-Tsu is farmland, where you plant a seed, and watch it grow slowly and steadily. Different worlds, different ways."

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

(I'm sooo sry guys I slipped on ice and busted my computer and the comps at the library wouldn't let me post on this site. I just got a new computer today and finally got the internet ta work.)

_Before Starcey busted in_

Dante contemplated the thought about returning to Meeriad. "I...don't know if I want to return..." he stated absentmindedly. Dante adjusted his hat and thought over a magic blocker for a bit. "I..." he started but was interrupted by Starcey.

Dante stayed quiet and picked a spot on the wall and stared off into space towards it. He tapped his cane on the floor and as if nothing happened "I think it's time for me to leave as well...Places to be people to...uh...finish?". Dante looked over at Raelan and the others "I do so enjoy your company...too bad my occupation calls for few people to know me personnally" he contemplated what he could say next "uh...thanks for the tea..."

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

(welcome back! bummer about the computer, man, hope your new one is to your liking.)

Dante was obviously deep in thought and quite distressed with his options.  Of course, actually leaving was out of the question, but Lao-tzu could see that he wanted time to himself to think.

Actually leaving was impossible, of course, as Dante would be sure to realize.  Without Raelan's transport, it was a half-day's journey to the nearest village and the sun was already hiding itself behind the mountains.

Lao-tzu said to him, "You're welcome.  Yes, I think you need some time to consider your path.  Unfortunately, I have already offered Starcey the only bed nearby with any sort of privacy.  In your case, a conjuration would not likely offer comfortable sleep, but the night is mild and I think you would find sleeping under the stars with some blankets and a fire very agreeable. If you ask him, perhaps Raelan can offer a more civilized alternative in his spacecraft.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Realizing that Raelan couldn't tell her more, Starcey said goodnight and headed off to her motorcycle. She climbed on, fired it up, and gently rolled down towards the little cabin Lao-Tzu had suggested. Anyone within hearing distance with even a slight appreciation for motor vehicles was filled with pleasure at the deep, throaty growls of the bike.

Once at the cabin, she washed her face in the stream, grabbed her blankets and things, and fell into a dreamless sleep.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

Raelan gave the thrumming vehicle an appreciative nod, maybe he'd ask permission to look it over some time if she came back... if he came back... oh well. "Well, I can clear off a bed for you in my ship Dante, and fly you back tomorrow if you still wish, but probably after breakfast at least. Let me know, I'll be in my ship awake for a while."

He had to repair his arm's enchantments, and tighten a few components. Well he was too tired to do anything as intricate as fix the enchantments, tomorrow then. The detection sphere dissipates. "Lao-Tsu, as half of my audience has no interest at the moment, I hope you don't mind waiting for a demonstration on my magic and the crystals until tomorrow." He gave Lao-Tsu a similar bow to when they were greeting. "I'm out for the night," and headed to his ship.

RE: Of Spaceport Markets

He shook his head "That's quite ok Raelan I'd rather sleep outside for tonight".

Dante looked up into the sky things have become complicated... Dante pulled out his Orion communicator and dialed a number that he has used many times before.

"Hello?"
"Hey Ladimore I need information on some people..."
"Dante?"
"yeah...I need the files on Raelan Wathuru Some sage by the name of Lao-tzu and one Starcey Crystal..."
"If I find anything I'll send it to you it might take a bit my system has been screwy..."

(If there is a file on your character please post it, it is perfectly ok not to have one and it can be as descriptive or vague as you want.)

Dante ended the call and stared up into the sky.
He sang a the ending to a song he learned from an assasin he once met
"When I get to hell
Ol' Satan's gonna say-ay
Wheredya get your money boy!?
Who'dya kill for pay-ay!?
I'm gonna reply with a smile on my Fay-ayce
Oh Devil I'm here ta take your play-ayce!"
It usually helped him ta collect his thoughts but unfortunantly it didn't really help.
