Skylark's Ideal World | Session 3

[idolpro]

Once, there was a maiden...
...who was driven from her land.
Great black stags chased her, and their eyes shone blue.
Monsters scrambled after her through the bush, though they found her not.
Stumbling on a log, she fell and thought to surrender, and end the torment of the hunt—

... ... ...

You're so, so tired.

Why carry on?

... Surely, it's okay to take a break—

You can't?

[She hadn't even noticed. Too preoccupied with the state of the skies to take too much note of the thing that was nominally supposed to be causing it. There'd been no sun at all, in Norvrandt--]

So you can't. Must they make everything disturbing?

... Do you then believe that it is not a sun?

If not, what could it be?

Re: START: THE BEACH

[scattershot]

It could be all sorts of things. A trick of the eye, the nature of this world, some kind of commentary only Lark could understand, the Producers running out of money to get the effects quite right...

... I do hope it is not the last one.

I do not want our traumas undercut by budget crises.

Or they could simply have decided they couldn't be bothered. There's that, I suppose. Mayhap Lark would know.

Miss Crane says he is in the cottage if we wanted to head that way.

Re: START: THE BEACH

[scattershot]

The cottage? That seems the best place to start, then. And it would serve to get us all out of the sun.

Re: START: THE BEACH

[leaveofabsence]

And away from the water.

A blessing on all fronts.

Re: START: THE BEACH

[scattershot]

That sounds ideal for my brother, as well. I'll tell Alphinaud, if you haven't mentioned it already?

Re: START: THE BEACH

[leaveofabsence]

Please do. And then we can set out.

When you're all ready, the COTTAGE is waiting for you.
