Get on the Down With Fish bus

WHO: Lilybells, House Wardens, Azdaja, others??
WHERE: Lily War Room
WHEN: Day 71 morning

[ After a few different discussion, Lily and Bluebell have invited some allies to discuss a problem and make some plans. They've probably put out like. Berries and water. Mute and Ananke stand at the front of the room, them speaking and him providing large illusions of the presentation. ]

Lights please. Ananke.






This is Eph'meris. It is not my home but . . . where I was most recently before . . . arriving in the Meadow. Next.








This is Meris. Meris was once the primordial . . . sea goddess that formed Eph'meris and its people. Now she is a . . . festering mass of malice, squatting in the astral sea and longing only . . . to drag all life she encounters with her into the abyss. Next.








This is the Merisian Pillar Array, which turns one or several individuals into the "Pillar" of Eph'meris. It allows the bulk of Meris's hatred, necrotic power, and general "evil bullshit" to be visited on . . . that one or several persons rather than . . . reality itself. It also fortifies those individuals' . . . bodies to bear this malice without being destroyed. It also . . . kills them. Next.









This is a small piece of the Merisian Pillar Array, that we are . . . currently calling the "Gate". It's purpose is to . . . ensure that the energy exerted by Meris upon reality is directed at the selected Pillar, but also that . . . some of this energy may be siphoned off to the Merisian power grid. I am told . . . this is "like electricity but worse" but I don't . . . actually know what electricity is. Next.









I believe these diagrams speak for themselves. Next.









Next.








This concludes the . . . background briefing. Everything should be clear now.

[If he knew that was the reason he would think it is a terrible idea, actually!! But he just lets it happen.]

[arrowace]

We will . . . need inspiration.

[heavyliesthecrown]

You do not need inspiration. But you will always have my support. Even if I am swallowed up in grief, I will always support you.

[arrowace]

I mean to say. We literally need. Inspiration.

It will materially improve . . . our odds of success.

[heavyliesthecrown]

How do you mean?

[arrowace]

[ DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO ME!!! SCRESCENDOGHDFKJ!!! peers directly into his soul ]

Am I supposed to sing or something?

[This feels fake.]

[arrowace]

You could . . . dance if you prefer? Recite verse?

[heavyliesthecrown]

If you think singing will actually help, then I can do that.

[arrowace]

I wouldn’t suggest. . . unhelpful things.

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am sorry. I suppose that I am feeling a little down today, but I do not intend to be Debbie Downer.

[ Ugh. This is about helping Mute.]

Truly, if it will help, I am all too glad to try. Just tell me when or where and I will be on it.
