Who: Sokka, maybe some Maglor, and you!!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Iskaulit
When: Backdated a couple days ago - before the new planet mingle

[The feed opens up to one of the larger, empty rooms in the Iskaulit. There's a few boxes stacked around, but otherwise the room is starkly empty. Sokka grins, raising his arms in the middle of the room. In the background, Maglor seems to be moving stuff out of boxes.]

So, hey guys! Me and Maglor have decided it'd be a great idea to build a forge on the Iskaulit. So many people don't have a clue what they're doing with guns, we figured giving them a chance to have weapons more suited to their time period might help them out a little.

Plus, you know, Atroma can suck it with taking our weapons away from us. We'll just make new ones.

ANYhoo, it's obviously gonna be a while before it gets set up, but anyone willing to come help build it, or gather materials, that kind of thing would be really appreciated. We'll put your names on a little plaque or something. Hopefully, we'll get something awesome out of this.

Nature? I don't really liken it to good or bad. It's only bad when it hits an extreme.

[ Alexei was good once. Ragou was evil. Those titles meant nothing to Yuri's sword. ]

[bythewaves]

Extremes are always dangerous, but I suppose it makes me sad that folk would tip that way at all.

[evervigilante]

Sadness can be an extreme as well. It's not always the anger or power.

[bythewaves]

True enough. But anger is destructive in a way that few things are, I find.

[evervigilante]

Anger is destructive. Sadness is inaction. Either way, when you hit an extreme, no one benefits.

[bythewaves]

Mm, but it seems to me that inaction is the less dangerous, of the two - although to no benefit, this is true.

[evervigilante]

When you have the power to prevent something and don't use it, that's worse than anger.

Because it means you care that little.

[bythewaves]

True - but it only hurts if someone knows, eh?

[evervigilante]

Someone will find out. You can't keep secrets for that long.

[bythewaves]

It's a lot easier when everyone think you're dead.

[ Maglor points out wryly ]

[evervigilante]

For a while.

[ He's done that too. ]

[bythewaves]

Easier when there's a war on, I think. Also I suspect that communication is harder in my time than yours. The shores of Middle-earth are vast and wide and easy to lose oneself in for a few centuries.

[evervigilante]

Kind of. We traveled by space whale.

[bythewaves]

[ EYEBROW ]

Space... whale?

[evervigilante]

You know what a whale is, don't you?

[bythewaves]

I have seen them at a distance, once. But someone I cannot help but think you mean something different than the graceful giants of Lord Ulmo's realm.

[evervigilante]

He's a little different. Larger. But essentially the same thing. He can fly too.

his face is this icon forever

[bythewaves]

[ EYEBROW ]

...How does anything of that size fly?

[evervigilante]

The Entelexeia have special powers beyond normal magic.

[bythewaves]

Entelexeia [ Maglor sounds out the word slowly and thoughtfully ]

Magic?

[evervigilante]

[ He shrugs. ]

Yeah. They're born of magic and nature. They keep our world in balance.

[bythewaves]

Huh. [ Maglor says thoughtfully ]

So are they not beings of flesh at all?

[evervigilante]

They are flesh and bone like the rest of us. Just with a little extra added to them.

[bythewaves]

So strange. [ He murmurs ]

We have nothing like that in my own world, I do not think.

[evervigilante]

I'm not surprised. The Entelexeia seem very much their own design.
