Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Well, if you saw her, then things really did work out. Did she tell you if the guardian was really the one causing this mess?"

 

"Your gods are very strange." Praecantatia comments.

 

"She told me the guardian would leave. So I think that's a yes, seeing as the storm is gone."

 

I summon my scythe and give it a try.

 

Seems cutting the string won't be that easy. Of course it couldn't be that easy.
Your scythe passes through the string like it's not even there. Maybe something in the house could cut it? There's not many hiding places for anything, though...

"That's... annoying. I'm glad they left, but I still don't get it. I mean, I burned my parents, but I didn't burn everyone else with them."

"I could say the same. I suppose it's all in the eye of the beholder."

 

"Well... everyone got there reason? Some just like to cause chaos."

 

"I suppose. It still just seems... odd. She's called a guardian after all."

 

"Yes, that's true. But I heard she's lazy and doesn't want to do anything, so she probably gets angry when she's forced to do something."

 

"Quite. What's normal for the spider is chaos for the fly, as they say." Praecantatia says.

 

"That is correct. I think I should get back to the infirmary as quickly as possible."

 

"I guess. That sounds normal."

________________________________

"True, true."

"I'm moving, I'm moving..."

 

Praecantatia stays quiet.

 

Gaia looks around the lab.

 

The lab appears to actually be a workshop, shelves of small figures, golems, and carved mage stones and rune tablets around the room.

 

"If you don't mind me asking, why such a big focus on golemancy?"

 

"It's a creation and life magic, and allows me to tend to my many islands and activities all at once. If two things need to be done at the same time, a golem is a good replacement while I perform the other action. Simply increase that number." Praecantatia says.

 

"Would a split-clone not work just as well?"

 

"That takes a lot more energy and magic to create and command than a simple golem." Praecantatia says.

 

"Strange. Most of my children find split-cloning easier."

 

"You forget our children are different." Praecantatia says.
