[Everything goes white, almost blindingly, as you enter Eveningstar's heart.... it's so overwhelming that you forget, for a moment, what you're doing, why you're here, and details about yourself start to slip---]

[but then it all stops, abruptly, and your senses return to you]

[they've now reached the base and it's solid ground! The waterfall is several feet away, but before it is an alter with several mystical looking items]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

Oh-

[ Reaching for the key?? ]

These look more relevant than the toys.

[takewing]

But which is the right one . . . ?

[Rolls over and scrambles to her feet, ow ow sore but at least she doesn't feel the cold 8|;]

Be careful... I do not like this.

[when you touch the urn, you hear the sound of something breaking!]

[but as you hold it, a warm pride fills you]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

. . . Pride . . .

Wave, what did you feel?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

Fear... or something like it. Fear of failing at something important.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

Hmm . . .

[Reaching for the next object.]

[soulping]

[when you touch the scroll, you feel like concentrating hard! You have to memorize this!]


[....because you'll get in trouble if you don't]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ After a moment's hesitation, reaching for the stone as well ]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[FROWNING]

People place far too much value on rote learning.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[you feel like this is something really precious to you, but you don't understand why]

[but at the same time, it feels empty]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ He frowns down at the stone for a long moment, before slowly putting it back down. ]

What was it?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

Concentration and having to memorize something, or else there will be trouble.

And you?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

Something precious, but... empty.

I suspect we should take them with us.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

. . . Admittedly, I am somewhat hesitant to remove items we're not sure about. I'd not want to harm her by accident.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

....Please, wait....

[That's a little girl's voice! And you're both hearing it]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

- Again?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

Again?

[Turns towards the voice.]

What is it, lass?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[A young girl is staring at you, warily. But she has a piercing stare]

You're taking that back... for Mystic Eveningstar?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

We're looking for items that we can use to free her, yes.

Would it have any ill effects?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ Crouching down so he can look at her while he speaks ]

We are here to aid her, not harm her. Do you understand what these items are?
