"Bring peace to Chantes, and restore the sun."

I've seen and heard a lot of talk over how we're meant to accomplish this task.

To those of you who are new and those who have been here from the start, I'm curious- ideally, how would you like to see such a goal accomplished?

[ he doesn't really know what magic is, so he has nothing else to fall back on... ]

I don't understand magic. There is no such thing on Brigadoon.

Michel is one of the humans we freed from the prison. Where is he now?

[anti_altruisms]

[ It's okay, Melan Blue, they'll teach you good. ]

Magic is life and power. All living things possess the energy itself, but few have enough or the knowledge to make use of it.

As far as I know, he's in the custody of a handful of our own.

[ninmu]

Biological energy. I see.

[ that actually makes a fair amount of sense to him... ]

We should talk to him.

[anti_altruisms]

[ It's spiritual too, really, but he doesn't see much of a reason to confuse the issue more so he refrains... ]

He is being questioned by his captors. If they've learned anything more from him since they announced it, I haven't heard.

[ninmu]

Then we are to wait?

[ that was an easy job. ]

[anti_altruisms]

For the time being.

The way things seem to happen here, I'm sure we'll see some excitement again sooner rather than later.

[ninmu]

As long as we can go back soon, then I don't mind.

[anti_altruisms]

I wouldn't hold out hope for that, if I were you.

[ninmu]

What do you mean?

[anti_altruisms]

They have given us no timeframe regarding how long they expect us to serve their interests.

[ 'They' being ALASTAIR. ]

Depending on the range of their influence and the amount of 'work' to be done, it could be a lengthy amount of time.

[ninmu]

[ amazingly, he didn't think about this. ]

I don't have that much time to spare. [ humans don't live that long!! ]

[anti_altruisms]

[ That is why you have him, Melan Blue. To tell you about all the terrible possibilities you never thought of before. ]

Unfinished business?

[ninmu]

Someone is waiting for me.

[anti_altruisms]

They may be waiting for a long time.

[ninmu]

I won't let that happen.

[anti_altruisms]

You may not have a choice.

[ninmu]

Even so, I will try with all of my power.

[anti_altruisms]

Suit yourself.
