Log

[Grassland Road, Meadow]
Before you lies the remains of a building, long reduced to jagged foundations of porous, moss-stained tufa. Dark blades of weevil grass poke out of the rocky ground. You hear a clattering sound somewhere within the ruined structure and a muffled oath. You also see a tiny chocolate brown kitten, a fluffy grey tabby kitten, some dried nilos, some lip balm, some lip balm, some lip balm and a complex crystalline machine.

[Inside the Machine]
The room is vast and angular, its deep blue crystal walls scattering light into a spectrum of hues. The smooth surfaces reflect and refract, casting intricate patterns across the floor. Embedded in the walls are complex metallic patterns wrought in nickel, icesteel, niniam, and zinc, occasionally glowing with heat in rhythmic pulses. Thin crystalline rods connect the mechanisms, shifting and changing smoothly. The air hums with a subtle vibration, punctuated by the occasional metallic click. Thin, translucent tubes filled with glowing blue liquid pulse gently, in sync with the mechanisms. You also see a crystalline pedestal extending from the center of the room and an opening in the wall.

Crackles of energy race around the area, and with a loud *POP*, the ceiling of the machine becomes enwreathed in a haze of cold blue light. Deep in the haze you are able to see what appears to be writhing vines and malleable stone. Ribbons of cold blue energy drain upward through the walls of the machine, into the haze, and stream along into the vines and stone. The view goes blurry, as the energies escape upward and out, and eventually the view fades entirely.

Xionara chuckles at Malorna.

Mistanna says, "No I'm over here."

Avrenka says, "It's note a voting machine, it's a cooking machine."

Ezathiel assumes a meditative stance, concentrating on something.

Allye ponders.

(Crobin looks towards the wall and then looks up seeing it doing stuff)

The walls flicker with energy briefly, continually dimming until they resume their typical behavior, the symbols and components back to whatever it is they were doing.

Mistanna says, "Oh that mist."

Crobin says, "Ummm."

Malorna asks, "Arent those like the spires?"

Lupdels sighs.

Lupdels frowns.

Aaiyaah says, "Do you all want to A....cast a bunch of sorcery."

Gwenddolyn says, "So this machine is feeding the mana from the votes into the vines."

Aaiyaah asks, "Or B, do nothing and see what continues to happen here?"

Valynn says, "It appears the mist was headed to the spires."

Aaiyaah grins.

Malorna says, "Cast."

Gwenddolyn says, "I wondered about that at the first meeting in Theren."

Xionara softly says, "Unsure."

Madigan says, "Send a scout to look at Knife Clan see if anything changed and the other encasements. That light flowed out to the spires."

Nawain says to Gwenddolyn, "That's a stretch."

Xionara nods to Nawain.

Xionara nods to Gwenhwyfach.

Zynell asks, "Repeat the pure mana to see if it happens again? while sending scouts?"

Madigan bows to Eskerith.

Aaiyaah asks, "Who would like to volunteer to scout?"

(Crobin draws his parazonium along the spot on the wall again)

Kerennya says to Gwenddolyn, "I don't think we have enough evidence to conclude that just yet."

Eskerith just touched Madigan.

Xionara softly says, "Could simply be gathering mana from environment."

Ghust quietly asks, "Why dont we start small and then see what happens?"

Tirost raises his hand.

Aaiyaah motions to Tirost.

Tirost says, "I'll check the Wolf Clan."

Lileath says, "I'm willing to wander out towards knife clan."

Lupdels tugs at the tip of his beard distractedly.

Rozalynde blinks.

(Crobin picks at the wall grumbles)

Katriwen asks, "It may be that the machine was just showing us where pure mana is going? or do people think the machine is actually part of that process?"

Eskerith just touched Lexxa.

Lupdels nods to Katriwen.

Ghust nods.

Zynell playfully tilts her ears toward Ciarelle.

Avrenka says, "Cold blue energy ... makes me think of Xibar, but maybe I'm way off there."

Ciarelle says to Zynell, "Well, yes."

Skraddarsy dusts herself off.

Shaylynne approaches the pedestal.

Lupdels says, "If there is mana draining from here to the spires, it raises questions on the certainty of Liraxes to construct a machine immune to tampering, or what powers are able to use Liraxes's machine against their will."

Xionara softly says, "Looks bit like aether too."

Xionara softly says, "Observe."

Kerennya asks, "So if we cast a lot of sorcery, would it weaken the encasements?"

Istercal casually observes the area.

Casari says, "Could be that it was blue because the liquid here is blue. Could be that it was blue because life energy is often perceived as blue."

Lupdels ponders.

Avrenka asks Casari, "I thought it's usually green?"

Aaiyaah says, "I am always a fan of helping the Immortals. So I am a solid vote for sorcery casting."

Enelne's Repent Nawain came through an opening in the wall.

Xionara softly says, "Blue."

Urbaj says, "The machine itself is blue."

Allye nods to Shaylynne.

Katriwen begins to sing, a gentle arpeggio of notes that segues into a soft melodic introduction.

Casari says to Avrenka, "And white, and orange, and purple. But blue is the most common one that I've heard."

Avrenka ponders.

Avrenka says, "I'm all for it."

Casari sighs.

Skraddarsy just touched Zynell.

Kerennya says, "Hopefully Madigan went to put up Banner."

Lupdels gazes about, drinking in his surroundings.

Urbaj says, "Perhaps Valenal's lens was already incorporated. I'm inclined to believe that the mana is going to the ones who encased the clans, based on what we've seen so far."

Aaiyaah asks, "Tirost, any theories on what is going on with the machine?"

Xionara nods to Sofina.

Xionara gestures at herself.

Aaiyaah nods to Urbaj.

Allye nods to Shaylynne.

(Crobin looks back towards the wall before moving around the wall slowly)

Sir Madigan came through an opening in the wall.

Xionara flails her arms about.

Madigan joins Aaiyaah's group.

Tirost says to Aaiyaah, "Nothing solid. Seemed like it aimed some kind of energy towards the encasements, but they haven't taken effect yet so far as we can tell."

Nawain asks, "How did the thing tell people where it was best to cast sorcery? Did it use words, or pictures?"

Nawain joins Aaiyaah's group.

Xionara softly says to Basteht, "Logic needed to figure out thingses."

Lupdels nods to Tirost.

Ciarelle nods to Madigan.

Avrenka says, "It appeared here, and said this was an ideal locatoin."
