Hi, everybody! So, Junia got to have a really, really exciting encounter with The Exalted Lord His Own Self, and I thought I'd share how that all went down. I'm just a little miffed that I didn't get to do anything more with it! (*curses retail jobs at length and volume*)

To set the scene, this followed directly after Eventru's epic CT debate with Celest. I've got that saved as well, so if anyone is interested in perusing that, let me know. It ended with Eventru abandoning his position as the Patron of the Cantors, and the Guildmistress Joylah and Cantor Jayden (all the J names, sheesh!) maggoted. Junia was pretty sure she was due for some Divine retribution of her own, so when Eventru showed up, she was quaking in her stylish silk slippers.

A pinpoint of brilliant light forms in the air then expands in a flare of ivory
and gold into the glorious form of Eventru, Crown of the Exalted.

You drop to one knee, demonstrating your humility and respect.

Eventru purses His lips pensively, gazing off into the distance as He carefully
gathers His thoughts.

You whisper, "My Lord, I seek only to serve the Light."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Have We questioned your intentions today?"

Eventru beckons you to Him.

You say, "No, my Lord."

You begin to follow Eventru.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Let Us cross somewhere else. This place is
uncomfortable for Us."

Eventru wrinkles His nose and sniffs.

You say, "As You will."

You follow Eventru, Crown of the Exalted to at the heart the Nave of Virtuous
Souls.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Ahh. A bit more fitting."

Eventru chuckles long and heartily.

You have emoted: Junia stares, awestruck.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Ah, as We had asked, had We questioned your
intentions as they stand today, and you say We have not."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Have We said that We hoped for a solution
to be found soon, before the corruption seeps in?"

You say, "Yes, yes, it gladdened my heart to hear those words from You."

Eventru smiles softly.

A white seagull glides in on a salty wind, drops pale grey stationery into
Eventru's hands, then majestically soars away.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Do you know of Us, little one?"

You have emoted: Junia stares at her feet, heart in her throat.

You shake your head.

Eventru chuckles long and heartily.

You blush furiously.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Do you know anything of Our nature?"

You say, "I have done some research, Lord. I had.. That is, I had hoped to
pursue membership in Your Order.."

You say, "Before."

A soft smile settling into his lips, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Do you
know from what Circle We hailed from?"

You say, "I fear not."

You say, "I wish only to learn!"

Nodding slightly, a lock of golden hair passing before His features, Eventru,
Crown of the Exalted says, "We once were of the First Circle. Do you know their
purpose?"

You say, "They guarded the Elder Gods? As infants?"

Chuckling, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "H, not as quite."

Chuckling, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Ah, not as quite."

You scratch your head in confusion.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The First Circle was formed to bring order
to the Elder Gods, to lead them."

Comprehension flashes across your face.

You nod your head emphatically.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "To mediate disagreements, to help find
purpose for Our existence."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We were bereft of Our Mother, more or less
abandoned. Then nothing existed but Our kind."

You say, "It sounds a.. trying.. sort of existence, my Lord."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Indeed, it was a sad time."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Sadder things resulted, though."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Do you know that We once were half-formed,
like the Supernals?"

You say, "Is that so?"

You have emoted: Junia tries desperately to remember everything she has ever
learned of divinity.

You yawn suddenly and mightily.

You cough softly.

You blush furiously.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The Song of Creation was then sang, by Our
mother. We all grew beneath it."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "When She left Our kind, the half-formed
stopped growing."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Those who were still half-formed were
forever trapped."

Comprehension flashes across your face.

You crease your brow in a frown.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Some Elder Gods devoted countless aeons to
bringing them into full growth."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "They were known as the Hamadhi, caretakers
of the half-formed."

You say, "Yes!"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We oversaw some of the Hamadhi."

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

You say, "I, I mean, I have heard of them."

You yawn suddenly and mightily.

You crease your brow in grim determination.

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We long sought to bring those like, and
including, the Supernals into Our numbers."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Alas, such was not intended to be."

You say, "No?"

Eventru shakes His head.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "In time they... Changed, We suppose."

You yawn suddenly and mightily.

"I'm sorry!" you say with a blush.

You say, "May I.. I am awfully ashamed, but.. I am mortal. May I sleep for a
moment?"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Adapting, changing. They became a part of
their creche."

A shimmering curtain of multi-coloured light surrounds you for an instant as
your wounds are healed by divine intervention.

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

You wipe the back of your hand across your head in relief as you mutter, "Whew."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Yet in this time, the Hamadhi spent
countless aeons studying the nature of the Soul."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "In this time, We have learned much. Seen
much."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Crazed half-formed, wounded Elders."

You say, "Truly, I can't begin to imagine what you must have faced!"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Many things."

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Many things sad, but many more beautiful
and glad."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The hardest part was deciding what
half-formed must be sealed away, imprisoned and put to sleep."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "And what can yet be saved."

You have emoted: Junia quirks her lips into a quick, sad smile, which soon
vanishes.

Pausing, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Do you know what happens to a
half-formed when they abandon their creche, Junia?"

You say, "I do not."

Softly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "They are slowly driven mad."

You have emoted: Junia nods slowly.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Eventually they become twisted and
corrupted physically, but the madness begins in the mind."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The soul changes as well. Something is...
Incomplete."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "It is slow. For a time, they can be saved."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Then it is too late."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "From there it is progressively worse."

You say, "I see. It is a sickness that overtakes them beyond point of recovery."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Until they attack those they once loved,
called brother and sister, the Elders they knew for centuries."

Eventru nods His head at you.

You shiver violently.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "It is a sad thing to see. Heartbreaking."

You whisper, "Please, can You help me.. avoid such a fate?"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted shakes His slightly, showing His tanned palms in a
gesture of helplessness.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We can do nothing to slow your corruption,
nor to stop it."

You have emoted: Junia drops her chin to her chest, tears brimming along her
lashes.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "With time perhaps slow it, if We were to
have time to study it."

You say, "What is to be done?"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "You must find a way to undo what has been
done."

Softly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Before it is too late."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Do you know what comes when it is too late,
Junia?"

You say, "Nothing pleasant.."

Eventru smiles sadly, a wistful look in His eyes.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Like the half-formed, it cannot be
stopped."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "The only respite that can be given is an
eternity of sleep."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "If they are lucky, it is dreamless."

Softly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We do not know if it is or is not."

You say, "You ask me to find a way to undo what has been done, or to spend
eternity in sleep."

Nodding slowly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Have you seen a viscanti?"

You say, "I fear.. I am yet so young, my Lord!"

You say, "I have heard many things about them, though I have never spoken to
one."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Generations of corruption and pollution
have warped them. They are tainted, through to the soul."

You have emoted: Junia nods.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Some rebel against it, but in the end, they
are still tainted. When the last of the tainted are dead, so too must they die."
Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "That would be the fate of those trill who
fight Zenos."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "To fight for an end to their own kind."
You have emoted: Junia breathes in deeply.

Gazing off into the distance, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "It is not an
easy thing, to fight for one's own demise."

You say, "There is no alternative? No avenue yet to explore?"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Your choices are sadly simple."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "You must undo what has been done before it
is too late."

A hint of pain entering His voice, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Or you
will be faced with the horrific reality of your own existence."

You say, "I refuse to be dominated so entirely without fighting with everything
I am."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Will is important."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Will is needed to fight for your own
extinction."

You say, "So even if what has happened might be undone, those of my race are yet
doomed?"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "No, little one."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Undo what has been done before it is too
late."

You have emoted: Junia lets out a sigh that sounds like a squeak.

You say, "I will! I.. I swear I will try."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Then there might be hope."

Eventru smiles softly.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Then there might be a chance for
salvation."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "A chance to protect the soul from the
damage that might be done."

You have emoted: Junia feels her knees wobble treacherously.

Softly, Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "A chance to prevent the Trill from
becoming as the viscanti are, as the half-formed are."

You say, "I must take that chance."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Then We wish you luck."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We offer one last warning."

You say, "Have you any guidance? I am so young!"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Fain and eleven others drank of the
Soulless essence to fight them."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "They succeeded with devestating effect."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "And then became them."

You say, "I will not follow their lead."

You crease your brow in grim determination.

Eventru smiles softly.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Good."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "You have will, little one."

You nod your head emphatically.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Let us hope the purity of your soul is
maintained."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We would be glad to have one of such
devotion in Our following."

Eventru smiles softly.

You blush furiously.

Your mouth turns up as your face breaks into a smile.

You say, "May I seek your guidance, in the trials to come?"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "We shall lend what We can."

Eventru smiles softly.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted has bestowed His divine highfavour upon you. It
will last for 3 months.

You say, "And I shall.. fight for the trills and the Basin.."

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Good luck then, little one."

You drop to one knee, demonstrating your humility and respect.

You say, "Wish me luck!"

With a majestic wave of His arm, Eventru opens up a rift in the aetherways,
fluctuating oddly before it settles down into a vibrating Divine portal.

Eventru points accusingly at a vibrating Divine portal.

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

The corners of your mouth turn up as you grin mischievously.

The thrumming around a vibrating Divine portal increases momentarily as
Blakhnastein steps through it, emerging from the aetherways themselves.

Blakhnastein peers about himself unscrupulously.

The thrumming around a vibrating Divine portal increases momentarily as
Blakhnastein steps into it, disappearing instantly.

Eventru utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

(Celest): Blakhnastein (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Sorry!"

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Enter that portal, dear one."

You giggle happily.

You perform a graceful curtsey.

Eventru, Crown of the Exalted says, "Quickly!"

Eventru's eyes sparkle with amusement.

As you step into a vibrating Divine portal you are momentarily deafened by the
thrumming of the portal, distracting you from the fact that you have just
stepped out into nothingness, though this uneasy realisation has barely struck
you before your legs are compelled to take another step, and you emerge through
an identical portal.

Sorry if anything is formatted wonky!

Also, I just wanna say, I'm really thankful that so many people were so willing to support a newbie who suddenly found herself center stage smack in the middle of a worldwide event she didn't really understand. I've only been here for a month, guys! Please take pity if I end up asking too many questions!

Woo! That was an awesome log. Looks like it was a blast.

E and I don't always get along (or maybe it's just that I frequently hate on Him - mainly because He is self-entitled and self-righteous, but hell, He's an Elder God, and that's His RP. I can't say much) but He's super cool in situations like this. I've always admired His insane knowledge of Celest and the history and all the stuff that I love about Lusternia.

I stinkin' love Lord Eventru.

Very cool!

Kayte:

I think that basically everyone not in Eventru's order finds him bothersome(ICly).

Kialkarkea:

C'est la vie. :)

Eventru:


C'est la vie. :)

You are Lusternia's weird old uncle!
