Diving the divine road (Moore)

[Nephrite]

"No, nothing there either." Moore says with a frown. "I wonder if I should try something stronger... but I don't want to annoy anyone up there, you know?" Moore says with a small smile. "But I suppose if they didn't want me asking they'd probably tell me that, too."

Balyss finishes a cookie off, "I'm lucky about that. Selune's about prophecy and visions. It's more like she bothers me too much. Do you know how the Lunatics got that name?"

[Nephrite]

Moore shakes his head. "I do not."

[Anastasia]

"Selune sends her devoted visions. Those that follow them seem to be madmen to others, for they do things with seemingly no rhyme or reason, even as they follow her wisdom." Balyss smiles, "Back on my Prime Material, I was part of a group of Lunatics. I'd go around Balmuria doing things that seemed mad to everyone else, but all according to Selune's will. Yet I would see it resolve in a way that made things better and brought more to the Moonmaiden."

Moore smiles. "I think... well, Erathaol has a... different way about it. I know he doesn't like to guide people specifically, but..." Moore looks off to the side. "Have you ever heard of a place that was filled to the brim with light? A place where there was no sun or moon, just... light? Oceans of the stuff." Moore says, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

[Anastasia]

"Sounds like Radiance," Balyss comments as she nibbles on her next cookie. "The Quasi-Elemental Plane of Radiance. It's where Air and the Positive Energy Plane meet. Or maybe Fire and Positive Energy, I forget."

[Nephrite]

"Radiance... maybe. I'll have to look that up." Moore says as he shakes his head quickly. "Sorry, to make a long story short, one day I literally woke up on Venya and didn't understand why. I haven't really been questioning it since then, but every now and again something nags at me in the back of my mind."

He takes a breath as he sips the milk. "But... while I was there, it felt right -- it felt... normal. Like I was supposed to be there. In that way, I've mostly let Erathaol just guide me on my journey without trying to divert myself from His plans. I seem to be able to control destiny a little bit... so I think that's power that's he's seen fit to give me. I just..." At this he looks down at the milk, swirling it around once or twice. "...I want to understand how I fit into all of this, you know? I mean I KNOW I do... but maybe it's not for me to concern myself with yet."

[Anastasia]

"Everyone wants to know their place, their role. For me it was easy. My father's a celestial," she pauses, her wings curled up around her armor. "It's the family business to serve Selune. Even Stille is an ordained cleric of Selune, and the clergy's dominated by women. For others, you have to listen to your heart and seek what feels right. Not what others tell you or what they expect of you. You need to find that place where you fit and stay there until you've grown enough that you don't fit anymore."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "It's hard to do when you feel like you're missing part of what makes you you."

He takes a breath. "But I think... knowing that I have a role at all is enough for me for now. With that in mind... I think I'm going to try and find Hanna. I couldn't find her the old fashioned way, but I think if I'm a bit more direct I'll get an answer. At least... one that might provide us some direction." He smiles. "I don't know what kind of relationship Erathaol and Selune have, but I'd imagine they cross paths from time to time. Maybe she'll convince him to give me a hint."

[Anastasia]

"Good luck," Balyss says, "I'm going to get back to it as well. Perhaps Selune will bless me with an answer now."

[Nephrite]

"I'll see if I can find anything out for you, too." Moore says with a smile.

I'll do a Commune, but you can handle it tomorrow.

[Anastasia]

Okay. In that case, post tomorrow with setting it up and your first question, along with the total number of questions you have. Deduct the expense in loot.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes the time to move into the main area of the chapel, near where Balyss was originally sitting. Perhaps it gives a better vantage into this sort of thing? He sits cross-legged with his hands in his lap and starts to concentrate, focusing on Mount Celestia.

"Can we locate Hanna with magic?" Is his first question.

14 Total Questions

[Anastasia]

"Not now." Winds begin to blow, the cold winds of Venya dissolving the chapel around you.

13 left.

"Is that the same for the others affected with Lixer's curse?" He asks.
