interfaith dinner mingle!!

[stefanged]

Who: Interfaith Center regulars & the not-so-regulars (party crashers are welcome too!!)
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Interfaith Center on the Iskaulit
When: Forward-dated to November 4th

[The Interfaith Center sounds far more bustling and busy than usual - and anyone peering inside would quickly figure out that a communal dinner is underway! Take off your shoes and walk in: the lounge has extra tablecloths on the floor as well as buffet tables with non-alcoholic beverages and all sorts of food, including Jordanian cuisine (or the outer space equivalent of Jordanian food).

The board games are out of their hiding nooks; the furniture's arranged for the maximum seating possible; and even the teddy bears donated by Kitty & Winn are out for cuddling, should anyone want them.

The kitchen's bustling with helpers - Stefan's running around at vamp-speed to make sure everything's a) done on time and b) cooked to perfection - but he sure wouldn't mind an extra hand. And if you're still not up for some food? Well, the prayer rooms are open as usual. There's always a quiet moment to be found, even if the laughter's louder and the scent of freshly-baked mansaf's wafting through the long corridors.

Anyone and everyone who's ever been inside the Interfaith Center has been invited (via text message - and Stefan even used the fancy emoji). If you're not particularly faithful or devout? Well, drop by anyways. There's more than enough food to spare.]

snortgiggle good thing I don't play a hobbit I guess XD

Aye - much of this would seem magical to me if not for the implants! I suppose it is merely a knowledge issue.

[huaaaaagh]

The clash of science and magic... it's like something out of a fantasy novel.

[bythewaves]

They write such things now, do they? [ A low chuckle ]

I am sure our... hosts deliberately chose for this clash as it doubtless is interesting for them.

[huaaaaagh]

Hah, probably. Maybe they expect more of us to fight about it. That's more typical in said fantasies.

[bythewaves]

Perhaps! But I find that conflict and distress makes for a poor story if not rewarded with joy - if they have been doing this for a while, I imagine they would know that.

[huaaaaagh]

What, like getting a happy ending?

[bythewaves]

No ending is ever truly a final one. [ Maglor murmurs softly ] Only the beginning of something new. But something like that, yes. Only grief with no joy is hard on a watcher, as well as on those living it.

[huaaaaagh]

Ah... yeah, I'd have to agree. Sometimes life is just a series of levels you have to beat. ...Er, transitions, I guess...

[Not everyone talks in video game lingo, Kirito.]

[ Maglor quirks a smile ]

Mm - and one story tends to lead to another. I suppose you could also say, we are all chapters in the Great Story - even after we are gone, we but pass the legacy onto the next.
