[OOC]
Thinking about a fix for things. Will probably reboot if/when I’ve figured one out. For now, I guess we can bring this to a close, with a vague possibility of keeping existing character variations if active people prefer to in a reboot.

[STRESS - 3 1 4 5 5, failure.]
The happiest I was in my life was when I was with you guys.
Everything since then has been downhill.
[NEED - SPOTTED: 1 1 3 3 6. Success, thanks to critting an Attention roll last time I was doing things and picking up (in) Over your Head from it.]
I’m hearing that you want us to have the old relationship dynamics. That you want to have a marvelous adventure with all of us in our old roles. Have I understood you properly?
Yeah, but…
That’s impossible, isn’t it?
It’s a good basis to start from to find something that you want that is possible, I guess. Figure out what changes were actually good ones, what can substitute for a fix on things that are unfixable bad ones, and such.
Poking into this dream bear thing
[THERE’S MORE HERE - 4 1 5 4 6]
It is probably just the bear’s territory. It naturally covers Helius Indirvall (or however you spell the stupid thing.) If they uprooted themselves and moved their village elsewhere they would be much happier but also wouldn’t have houses and I wouldn’t have known where to find them.
[00C: Chapter 8]
[In theory, this is around when the first quest would be approaching completion, I think.]
Reflections on Childhood
In retrospect, I think being young Kaveri Titova, sea witch, was more or less akin to being a person falling off a cliff. There were beautiful sights and amusingly enough there was pleasant company but there was a persistent nervousness which is given unto those that are falling off of cliffs, that is to say, “Where is the ground?”

Why the hell did I bring you guys here anyway?
Like –
I care about all of you guys, and you return it by…
By ranting at each other about how you hate being on the same island all the time. By the fact that you constantly spar with each other about how things will go. By telling me that I am doing everything wrong, and that though you like me you don’t like anything I do - yes, Kaveri, I’m talking to you here - and you seriously expect me to just take all of this without complaint?
Yeah, sure, you thanked me when I told you that I thought I could find my way back. But the second I got three of you together, the yelling started. There’s been nary a word of thanks, much less any actual attempts from you folk to give a shit about each other.
And you can tell me I’m doing just fine all you like, but none of it’s showing, not with how you talk to each other.
I feel unappreciated, is what it is.
I mean, maybe it’s my fault, because most people would not pin their self-worth on how loudly six other frenemies bother to be more “friend” than “enemy”. And maybe I have picked the stupidest hill on the entire island to die on. But I want to fix this, and it’s not happening, so obviously I am frustrated.
There. Now you can tear me down for that, if you like. See if I care.
Sorry I couldn’t reply to this earlier. I was . . . there was a thing. With a bear.
[JUDGMENT: 3 4 3 2 1 - failure.]
Anyhoo, I probably shouldn’t dredge up old stuff, but you did like call me out by name and stuff, so I wanted to say, dang, you want some cheese to go with that massive sense of entitlement?
Er, I mean, whine. With that whine. Sorry, I screwed up the joke.
[ANGER - 4 1 2 5 3, crit failure.]
Damn it! I had ten bucks on your taking all of this without complaint.
You know Ariel thinks about gambling the way you do about magic, right?
It’s OK, I do it in the shade. :-)
fyi still beeing
Don’t work, you’ll get it Sartre’d out.

[OOC: Chapter 7]
[Sorry I was absent for most of chapter 6. Stuff came up!]
Magic’s Price
Magic could corrupt you by making you imagine that you can do something about something you can’t do anything about, or, at least, that you shouldn’t.
I suppose I ought to go back to my flowers. But I’ve been… busy lately. It’s been distracting. It’s strange feeling motivated like this.
But I’m hungry.
[XP Action, Resources: Physical Action: 1 5 5 1 5]
Cooking school to the rescue! You can do amazing things with bark. I mean, cinnamon is bark. And there’s mushrooms. And these giant squash flowers. And sunflower seeds. You can do a lot with all that, even make a feast. Yum.
barkin’ mad, man. Barkin’ mad.
A Village
They remembered me at Heleus Endervall (or however you spell the stupid thing), which was sort of nice.
I don’t remember them.
They asked after all of you. I described your sad and miserable deaths in detail and then admitted that they were yet to occur. They were awed by my prescience, which is not quite what I intended.
At night they slip out of their beds, travel into the territory of a creature that is like a dream and is like a bear, and are devoured, only to wake again in the morning more or less as they had been.
They are reasonably generous with their provender and I have no desire to acquire their nocturnal habits so I will not be staying long.

Shadowless Horse
Horseless shadow. Light and dark.
[Let’s see if the XP actions will give me a nudge. Definitive. Physical Action 4. 2 4 4 5 3. Success. No XP but guidance accepted.]
At first I thought they needed to be united. Peter Pan and his shadow, right? But without the shadow, the horse shines. It asked me why I was hanging onto mine, told me to come back when I could answer that.
[ATTENTION - 1 1 1 6 5. Critical success!]
Why are you hanging on to that thing, anyway?
(tw: sun)
I think sometimes that we could have had such things burned away from us when we were in the old sun’s company.
Of course, someone didn’t want that (or whatever.)
Why are we here?
No, I mean, I know why we’re here, it’s because we got a boat -
But why did the path stay lost for twenty years, and then open up again only now, after we tore ourselves and each other apart?
Presumably it is fate offering us all a second chance to grow past the things that divide us and become true friends once again.
On the one hand, I would love to believe that; on the other, I cannot.
It is sad to see you so lost to the grip of cynicism and bitterness.
