Celebratory Pilgrimage

[aivea]

Rune smiles then answers, "Dreamwarp and I were just talking about making something that would look like the sun, but go the other way around. We'll need Fire types to help out for that, but the reactions to it should be amusing. What do you think? Do you want to help?"

[Kender Bard]

"I think if we dig up some supplies it is doable," Charan mused with a smirk. "Very well, and I'll see if I can't recruit more help. Tomorrow morning, meet outside the temple and we'll begin."

"I'll help," Dreamwarp laughed. "Anyway that I can. Thanks, Charan!"

"Well we can take bets on whether the citizens of Flux will start killing each other or start killing each other."

[aivea]

"And how!" Rune says in reply. For a moment he stands in quiet thought with his arms crossed and tapping one foot before suddenly commenting, "It would take a lot less out of the Fires, maybe even make it last longer, to have some sort of guide-wire or to adjust the wind conditions around the mock sun to be favorable toward flame. I'm pretty sure a 'guide-wire' made out of a thin line of ice would not be seen from the ground with any sort of ease and evaporate instantly on contact. Of course, where it would be would be known to the Fires and those involved but not everyone else..."

He tilts his head slightly before asking with a self-deprecating laugh, "I'm thinking too much, aren't I?"

[Kender Bard]

"No, you have a point," Dreamwarp admitted. "You've probably noticed the constant fog in town? We could conceal as much as we want if some of the Wind types here could blow it up higher. Do you think that would work?"

[aivea]

"That would work," he agrees with a nod. "The harder it is to tell it's not real the better... Is there anything else you can think of that we'd need?"

"I wonder what I could do... Maybe create the guid-wire with my ice? It would be hard to see if I was using my signs. One is always covered and I doubt anyone can see the other one from outside."

[Kender Bard]

"No, and it's getting late," Dreamwarp said with a yawn. "We should all get a good rest so we can be up before real dawn!"

[aivea]

"all right. Goodnight, then."

Rune sets off through the temple in search of a room to rest in, finally ducking into one that seemed unoccupied. With a triumphant grin, he plops down on the bed, and then finally bothers to see if the room was as empty as the quiet and lack of a person on the bed suggested. Seeing no one, he falls into a restless sleep.

The next morning, he wakes early, and makes his way outside the temple to wait for the others.

[Kender Bard]

Dreamwarp and Charis are both out there, luxuriating in the warm, dewy summer pre-dawn. The two Fire types are warming themselves up, figuratively speaking, by experimenting with how well their powers mesh, deciding whether they should join signs or simply work together, eventually opting on the latter.

Spotting Rune, Dreamwarp starts the planning. "So are we going to simply fire a ball of flames going west-to-east over Flux?"

[aivea]

"If there was a way to do it without it going fast enough not to be convincing, and to have it disappear or disperse once the walls would be blocking view of it." Rune glances around then adds, "How many Fires do we have working with us? If there was at least a couple more, shifts could be taken to maintain it, and there wouldn't be the clue from the same person always seeming to be focusing on something."

[Kender Bard]

"I'll get more," Dreamwarp promises, dashing back inside.

Charis rubbed his eyes and smirked. "You're good at planning, I can see why you're the high priest in your area."

[aivea]

Within seeing distance of Dreamwarp once she's inside the temple, a Fire/Wind priestess and a Fire priest are practicing gambling together. They're playing a dice game rather than a card game, though, and the priestess keeps trying to cheat by overheating the dice whenever the male is holding them so that he drops the dice without getting to roll which would end his turn. However, the male- Judecca- has so far been able to tolerate the heat, and flicks embers at the female- Meta- by way of revenge.

"Aww, thank you." Rune shrugs, then adds, "I can't stand watching something I put effort into fall apart before I want it to."

[Kender Bard]

"You two!" Dreamwarp shouts, pointing at them. "Come help us make a mock sun go the wrong way over Flux."

[aivea]

"But I wanted to see how long we could play without starting a fire," Meta says with a pout.

Judecca rolls his eyes at Meta. "What were you going to do if something did catch on fire? Strip naked and dance around it?"

"Shut up" The Fire/Wind glances around before asking Dreamwarp, "Anyway... 'Us'? Where's the rest of you?"

[Kender Bard]

"Outside," Dreamwarp remarked. "We've got Charis to help out and the one orchestrating this little fun is none other than Rune."

[aivea]

(Hm... Wasn't the other Fire involved named Charan not Charis earlier in the thread? Did you rename him? @_@)

"Oh? Icy's the one who started this? I wonder if he's any good," Meta comments. "We'll help- right, Judecca?"

The man nods in reply before adding, "Just bring us where you want us to be."
