THE HORRORS OF OBLIVION | [@]MERIDIAN

[D's communion into Meridian aligned minds is like a very polite knock at the door, except when the door is finally opened, a rush of icy wind blows in. No warmth or mirth can be found in the space of his mind, though it's a surprisingly gentle, dark void despite the chill. It's familiar for anyone who has had a communion with him, but probably kind of eerie for those who haven't.

It's also pretty quiet now actually.]


I made an attempt to Reincarnate the late Tribune. [He delivers this all very clinically, very factual.] It failed, but not because he hadn't been willing.

Something else had been inside him. [Can Nothing be something?] It had cleaned his soul out, if he had one at all, and left him as a husk. There was no soul to shift into another body.

It spoke through him. It said, "We never would have been able to Enter without the Choices that have been made."

[ Ruby's mind is always an anxious, fearful place, but this is reaching a point of hysteria. ]

Hang on, isn't the choices part also a concern here? Is this something we did?

Okay, so—if we just keep doing things the way we've been doing, isn't there a possibility we're making everything worse?!

[ the faction war and its outcome isn't something she's ever cared a whit about; this is different. this is an imminent threat to her safety. ]

Yeah, the shadows and stuff... Aren't they—I mean, I feel like they want something. It's like they're going for my Shard...

People got possessed, too, didn't they? In the previous Oracle. Maybe that's the same thing that spoke to you, and we're under attack by freaky shadow body-snatcher things.

[ she's so fed up with all of this that she's not bothering to filter her words into Italian Renaissance-appropriate dialogue. ]
