[ You feel it, don't you? ]

[ Well before the thunderous howl of collapsing stone and screaming glass fills your ears, streaming in from the Forge, well before the fine, powdery traces of dust can fill your nostrils should you be so unfortunate to be that close, you will feel it...a power so immense it is a force all its own.

[o hey you're getting a crazy person response, sorry. she mightn't even realize she's being recorded..]

I can't- can't- there's no more room in here! Swallow the world and it wouldn't be enough. No-one has that entitlement, when even ants can move sand dunes grain by grain. He'll step on us all, he'll step on us all, all all all all.

[ It comes hours later, his reply, in a tone distinctly softer than that which was used in the post. ]

What ant possesses the presence of mind to pull off such a feat, however?

Voice impossibly March 8 2011, 06:36:44 UTC

One ant, and his fellows, and their children, and their children's children. Two, three, five, eight, thirteen, twenty-one, thirty-four, fifty-five, eighty-nine...

It is an illusion to perceive strength in numbers...if the numbers themselves are weak.

[ A beat. ]

Do you have a name, dear?

Voice impossibly March 9 2011, 08:10:23 UTC

Do you?

Voice swordofthenorth March 9 2011, 14:50:25 UTC

Call me Isley.

Voice impossibly March 11 2011, 07:23:52 UTC

I might. Some gods don't need names.

I am River.

Voice swordofthenorth March 11 2011, 14:32:38 UTC

[ Gods? ]

[ What a peculiar girl you are. ]

A pleasure to meet you, River.

I do hope my actions didn't frighten you overmuch.

Anyone can tear down a building. Yi jiang gong cheng wan gu ku. This has the sense of a beginning.

Voice swordofthenorth March 12 2011, 23:37:33 UTC

Perhaps so.

Can you tear down a building, dear?

[ That's not meant to be mocking, and he manages to keep the tone in his voice from portraying it as such. ]

[ Truth be told, he wants to know. ]

Voice impossibly March 13 2011, 04:58:17 UTC

Ability is precluded by necessity. Once, together, I would tear down a sun.

Voice swordofthenorth March 13 2011, 05:03:58 UTC

A sun, you say?

[ Would? ]

[ Noticeably not did. ]

[ You speak in a rather labyrinthine way, River. ]

Truly that would be something to behold.

Voice impossibly March 13 2011, 05:27:43 UTC

Isn't it more of an achievement to build than to destroy?

Voice swordofthenorth March 13 2011, 05:28:58 UTC

Given the opportunity, what would you build?

Voice impossibly March 13 2011, 05:42:06 UTC

[a loooooong pause.]

A cenotaph.

Voice swordofthenorth March 13 2011, 05:44:44 UTC

What's stopping you, River...?
