un: lalli | video and text (open to both factions)

[The video is only about five seconds or so of footage, filmed by someone who doesn't really seem to know what they're doing. It's set in what looks like a forest--the edge of the Gods Wood, to be exact--centered on a patch of recently displaced mud and grass. In the middle is a dirty, soggy, beaten up old wooden sign, apparently dug out of said patch of mud by hand.

Written on it are the words BALANCE MUST BE RESTORED.

Then, in a separate post entirely because Lalli isn't good at this:]

found this
what's it mean?

I'm wondering if we were supposed to find it a lot sooner than this.

[notimefordreams]

Considering how it was buried I wouldn't think so? Though that just makes me wonder why anyone would take the time to deliberately bury a sign. If it was to taunt us it'd be one thing but if it took a spirit to show someone where it was at, that doesn't seem likely.

That just makes it *more* confusing though. Ugh, all these cryptic secrets everywhere.

[hipshoots]

This guy told someone else it was buried there long enough to have the grass grow on top it. Do we know of any rituals or spells that involve burying your intent under the dirt?

[notimefordreams]

I personally don't know of any but I'm sure there's bound to be someone with more magical know-how with tokens and charms that me.

Anyone here have an idea?

[Consider this an open call of sorts?]

[ While they're waiting for others to chime in: ]

Somebody's got to be a regular at the libraries or the Court's university. Maybe they can look it up.

[notimefordreams]

Or ask the Court Mage. I suppose the Temple has a mage as well?

[hipshoots]

We do, yeah. It's worth an ask.

[comburst]

if it was buried and left for a long time, isn't it possible all this shit happened previously too?

[hipshoots]

[ KILL BILL SIRENS. ]

Well, hell, I'd say that's as likely as anything else. We already know this place erased a name from history. Why not an event too?

[comburst]

they seem to be pretty selective about what history they share, so i think it's something we should keep in mind.

[ Is he still salty about this? FOREVER. He's just also a good student and capable of discussing things calmly on occasion. ]

[hipshoots]

Maybe some enterprising sorts might want to take a look back into the history books or records to see if there are any gaps.

[comburst]

i can give them another look through, but i can only get to the court books for obvious reasons.

[hipshoots]

Sure. We'll have to look into it on both sides.

[comburst]

which side did you get thrown in?

[hipshoots]

Moon Temple. I'm not big on studying, but I'm sure word will get out and people will be researching this.

[comburst]

let me know if you hear anything.

[hipshoots]

Will do.

[unabatedly]

Like a cycle?

All of this has happened before and it will all happen again?

[comburst]

maybe? all i know is we don't know enough. and there's no reason to have buried that.
