Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

[ An eyebrow lifts ]

That, only you and it could tell why. I cannot hear it, so I cannot explain. But I would suggest you pick something other than starsong, as this close it will be very loud.

[therewillbeorder]

I think I have an idea.

[Who knew stars could get so angry. He would make sure to take out another one of them just to show them who was in charge. ]

What should I focus on?

[bythewaves]

[ Maybe Hux blew up that one's sister ]

Try something smaller - the ship, maybe. It's engines, it's walls.

[therewillbeorder]

What do those sound like?

[He was trying to sort out what else he was hearing aside from the angry stars. Everything seemed so jumbled though, as if competing for his attention."

[ Maglor is quiet for a moment, eyes distant as he tries to remember ]

Steel's song is old, and strong, for it is the bones of the ship, and it was once the bones of a world, and it remembers. [ He says slowly ] Cold and hard, strong and proud. The engines are constant, strength and power, and fierce joy.

[therewillbeorder]

[He closed his eyes once more, trying to focus. He wondered if this was what Finalizer sounded like. He often went down to listen to the hum of the massive engines when he needed a moment to himself were Ren couldn't find him but this was different.]

I think I hear it-

[Slowly he could isolate the noise, trying to focus on just that.]

[bythewaves]

Focus in on that. [ Maglor's voice is low and soft ]

Just like picking a voice out of the crowd. Listen for that sound, and that sound only.

[therewillbeorder]

[Maglor's voice seemed to fade into the distance as he leaned against the wall of the corridor, feeling as if it was humming to him now that he could pick it out. It was much better than the star, less angry. It felt-]

..familiar.

[he had heard the same hum from his star destroyer, but this hum he felt.]

[bythewaves]

[ An acknowledging hum, but Maglor lets him listen to the engines for a while, getting used to them ]

Now, hold onto that memory and pull back. Try to listen with your ears now, to the normal sounds of the world.

[therewillbeorder]

Is this what you lived with every day? [His head hurt, he couldn't imagine having to do this every day. It was far more overwhelming than having the Force.]

[bythewaves]

Aye - it is... echoingly lonely without - I do not know how you can stand it.

[therewillbeorder]

If there was a way to return this to you, I would.

[He didn't want to live like this, he hoped this would be the same situation as it was with the Force, that it would eventually depart.]

[bythewaves]

I do not doubt it.

[ Maglor says wearily ]

But there is little choice in the matter. All we can hope is that it is not permanent. Also, ignore the engine when it says it is working too hard. It likes to exaggerate.

[therewillbeorder]

You should always listen to the engine.

[He always listened to Finalizer's engines, he knew how they should sound. Each pulse and shift was familiar, it was easy to tell when something was wrong.]

I can only hope that it isn't either.

[bythewaves]

Normally - but I have had a chat to this one, and he really does exagerate. He's tired, I think. I don't know how old it is.

[therewillbeorder]

[His head still hurt, everything fell too big for him to fully contemplate.]

I suppose all we can do is wait until this wears off then.

[bythewaves]

I suppose.

[ Maglor shivers ]

I do not know how you Men do this... it is so quiet.
