[Maya's Heart]

[soulping]

[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]

[FROWNING]

People place far too much value on rote learning.

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

[but at the same time, it feels empty]

[ 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?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[she still seems wary]

Mystic Eveningstar's magatama.... I can help you fill it with spiritual power. Then you can take it back to her.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[crouches as well]

We'd appreciate it, m'lady.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ He picks the magatama up once more, holding it out to the little girl. ]

This...? Is that why it feels so empty?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[she nods, and then gestures for you both to follow her under the waterfall with the magatama, rather than taking it herself]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[S-SEEMING TO FREEZE UP FOR A MOMENT]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

[ Following the girl more than readily, but pausing... ]

...

Can you swim?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

Hahaha . . . a thousand years old, and I can barely paddle . . .

[but this is for eveningstar. it doesn't matter how scared of water you are, do it for eveningstar. TAKES A HESITANT STEP FORWARD.]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[funnily enough, when you go under the waterfall, the ground feels solid and you only feel a light drizzle!]

[your spirit, on the other hand, feels refreshed]

[Tide's life bar recovers to 100%]

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[tothedepths]

A thousand-?

[ Distracted by the water, though, as well as the health bar. ]

Ah...

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[oh]

[that's not so bad]

Wave?

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[soulping]

[Now the little girl holds out her hand for the magatama, and]

Ms. Bluebird and Mr. Gilly... Please put your hand here.

Re: SECOND PSYCHELOCK - TRAINING ROOM

[takewing]

[PUTS HER HAND WHERE SHE'S TOLD]
