Arc
Some of you may have heard me speaking of DNI's, space, and assholes recently, but all for good reason. I have been doveloping a storyline recently. Today, I'm just going to throw out a little snipet to give you a small idea of what the core of the storyline may or may not be about, so, here we go then:
Porter entered the Arc for the second time in what seemed to be 5 minutes. He took a quick look around and knew he wasn't going to like this. It looked far different this time. A blue and green smoke that seemed to stretch into an infinite abyss had replaced the expansive field. In the very center of the room was a mirror that shone like crystal. The edge was embroidened with curling golden designs that arched into sharp spikes like thorns on a rose. Porter smiled as he began to take a step
"Great, more shit...."
It took him a moment to realize that although he had began to walk, he hadn't exactly moved anywhere. A frown crossed his face and he began to run. It seemed that for every step he took forward, everything in the room moved an equal distance away from him
"PHILOSIPHER! I thought we were through this!"
There was a small silence, and then a girlish laugh. with every break in the voice, the smoke in the room pulsed brightly
:Why did you try running? didn't your first attempt show you that you wouldn't be able to get anywhere?:
The smoke funneled down in front of the mirror and swirled around it. With every motion it defined the features of a young girl in a flowing blue night gown.
:I am The Dancer, you will not find The Philosipher here:
"But he told me the Arc was everything and so was he."
She sighed like he had said something painfully obvious
:Well of course.....:
She turned and looked into the mirror and began to sway back and forth slightly
"So......What are YOU here for then"
:I'm looking into this mirror, pretty, isn't it? I've been looking into it forever, yet I just started....:
"What are you talking about?"
:You see, time in the Arc exists, but not as you would know it to be. If you could split time down to its smallest possible form, and take one of them, that is what would have been repeating here since the dawn of everything. Just one of them, stretched to infinity.......:
Porter sighed and took a step, he could move now. The Dancer didn't look away from th emirror, but giggled as if she knew what he was doing.
:You tried a third time. You must be so full of agony....:
"What do you mean by that?"
:Why I'm standing at this mirror, why you kept trying to move.......We arent so different: she said as she began to trail off :I stare into this mirror, because I want to keep my mind focused, keep my eyes on the prize I guess you could say......:
"And what does that have to do with me?"
:Well, if you hope for something, you must be in pain. The happiest man in the world would hope for nothing, because there would be nothing missing in his life. I'm missing something, and waiting for it to come by again:
"What is it?"
:Me of course.......I don't know when. It may be in the past, now, or in the future, but I know it will come, and being that sure puts me in terrible pain......I hope you understand:
HAH! Thats all for now, I might post the rest of this conversation later, if you all even feel like reading this much.
