Ahead lies the great light that...

[Anastasia]

Okay, we'll put the last bits of mechanics on pause for forum stability reasons. In the meantime, anything else or are we good to continue?

[Nephrite]

We're good to go.

[Anastasia]

You feel so much more.

You feel alive, right, whole.

You feel overwhelmed and yet awake for the first time in your life.

Go ahead and react.

[Nephrite]

"I..."

He takes a breath in.

He takes another, then another, as if experiencing breathing for the first time.

"It's like the exact opposite of... what happened out there. It's as if I can see everything for the first time, like I'd been living in a play until this moment." He murmurs. "It's like everything's become so real."

[Anastasia]

"Then...what sort of deity will you be?" Xandra asks softly, the seed gone into nothingness.

[Nephrite]

"I can't be one who simply sits in my fortress and hides away, can I?" Moore says with a smile. "I'm a bit late to the party, but I think I'll be best served following in the steps of Lady Seira and Alicia in order to bring hope to Creation."

[Anastasia]

"Then we have much to do," Xandra agrees, "May I aid you forward, Moore?"

[Nephrite]

"Xandra, I should be asking you that." Moore says with a bright smile. "I should be asking everyone if they're willing to. And..."

He looks up. "I suppose I should ask If I'm still welcome here in general or not, or what the plan is for Hope's Landing."

[Anastasia]

You are welcome here.

This place shall be yours, if you wish to keep it.

[Nephrite]

"I admit, I had considered finding a way to create something on Lifasa, but... considering how much Celestia has guided me, I feel like that would be a slap in the face. Besides, Lifasa has other people interested in it." Moore says with a smile.

"I would be proud to keep this place and turn it into something even more than what it is now." Moore says.

Oh, there is one other thing, he supposes... He will have to find his 'voice,' in some capacity.

[Anastasia]

Then use it wisely, Moore.

[Nephrite]

I have quite a bit to do, then, it would seem.

He turns to Xandra. "I suppose we should speak to the others and see what they plan to do, if anything."

[Nephrite]

If you think that's too close to Cresiel (it's navy as opposed to 'dark blue') I can come up with something else.

[Anastasia]

"Then...what first?" Xandra asks.

At the moment the ball is 100% in your hands for how you advance with this and what you do.

Your color is your choice, but they are a little close, yeah.

[Nephrite]

"Let's talk to the others first." Moore says. "I don't want anyone feeling forced into following my path if they want to do something else, and we should figure out how to best proceed with... well, everything, really."

I'll come up with something.
