[The Princess is sitting on the bench just outside Espoir's chapel, Neya grazing contentedly nearby. Tamina enjoys spending time here; there is a sense of peace and comfort which surrounds the building ( Read more... )

What's with the sudden nostalgia?

timesguardian March 6 2011, 07:14:27 UTC

Oh. This card...somehow it contains a memory of my mother.

[Pause.]

She died when I was very young.

runslikehell March 6 2011, 07:23:45 UTC

[Oh crap. Maybe she shouldn't have asked. But Zoey definitely knew the feeling.]

Sorry about that...

timesguardian March 6 2011, 07:25:54 UTC

No, no, quite all right. I just...didn't expect it. I never thought that whatever holds sway over this world could possibly know...about such things.

runslikehell March 6 2011, 07:31:56 UTC

Are you talking about those cards? [There's a bit of shuffling as Zoey retrieves her own from her pants pocket.] I got one of those too.

timesguardian March 6 2011, 07:37:37 UTC

[Tamina nods.]

Yes. I found it on my dressing table a few days ago. Dastan said they were parts of the Dreamberry. ...however that's possible.

runslikehell March 6 2011, 07:46:40 UTC

Yeah, I noticed that it fit into the slot on the side. I figured it was just some part that fell off or something.

timesguardian March 6 2011, 08:17:12 UTC

It's most disturbing...that this place can even know of such things. I wonder, what else does it know? Or what is "it"?

runslikehell March 6 2011, 08:19:43 UTC

I'm not sure either. We can't even be sure that it's the world itself that's playing tricks on us.

timesguardian March 6 2011, 08:22:01 UTC

[Tamina sighs.]

Indeed. So many questions...and no one to ask. It's frustrating.

But Zoey, how are you? It's been long since we've spoken.

runslikehell March 6 2011, 08:29:35 UTC

[She allows the change of subject and is actually thankful for it.]

It has. I'm doing good actually. Checking out what jobs are available around here. I'm starting to get sick of just roaming around or sitting in my flat all day.

timesguardian March 6 2011, 08:32:23 UTC

I'm glad to hear. [A light chuckle.] Yes, it does get tedious, does it not? Although, actually having to fend for myself is a bit of a novelty, considering. 'tis a bit mundane, but I enjoy it, nevertheless.

runslikehell March 6 2011, 08:49:54 UTC

At least you've got that. I guess I could sort of say the same thing. Didn't think I'd ever be able to keep up with living the daily grind again.

timesguardian March 8 2011, 08:25:24 UTC

Mm, at home the work never ends. Politics, priests and empires never seem to end. I honestly never imagined a respite from my duty...but now that I have one, it's very...odd. It seems the gods have their ways of teaching us to look at life from different perspectives.

runslikehell March 8 2011, 12:12:22 UTC

[Zoey just nods and listens, honestly amazed at what she was hearing right now.]

You had to handle all of that? What just did you do, Tamina?

timesguardian March 8 2011, 20:58:50 UTC

I am-was the Princess and High Priestess of the Holy City of Alamut. Guardian of the Dagger of Time.

[She pauses, wondering at the wisdom of explaining exactly what lay beneath the sands of the holy city; everything she's been brought up to believe rails against such blasphemy.]

Let us say that no other task is of more importance. Creation itself rests upon the Dagger remaining safe.
