WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

The... Companions rang the Death Bell for him. It meant he was buried with full honors because they'd acknowledged that he wasn't sane. That if he had been, he'd have been a wonderful Herald.

But it wasn't enough to salvage his reputation. Nobody even breathes his name anymore. And poor Vanyel had to adjust to these incredible, awful powers, loving 'Lendel still and knowing the world hated him. Probably wondering what he could have done to stop it.

Vanyel was sixteen, and 'Lendel only a year older. They must have been so...

[clocked_out]

Unprepared to deal with shit of that magnitude.

[abardacttofollow]

Right, exactly. I mean, shit happens at any age, but it sure makes it worse.

Anyway, that's why I don't think it's related to the amount of power? On that level, Vanyel was nothing worth mentioning when he and 'Lendel were Lifebonded, and he wasn't exactly 'meant' to be. Unless we're getting into predestination here.

[clocked_out]

Yeah let's not ever get into predestination.

[abardacttofollow]

Because that would be some real awful destiny and not worth the air to talk about it.

[clocked_out]

Basically.

[abardacttofollow]

Anyway. You see why it's... hard to narrow things down.

[clocked_out]

Yeah. It's ok. Puzzling over different various cultures romantic tropes is apparently just a hobby for me.

[abardacttofollow]

I'm really genuinely happy to join you in that. I wonder if this is something people understand any more in the future? There's a man here from 500 years after my time.

[clocked_out]

Lifebonds? Maybe, but probably not. Or I guess, they might understand them but in a totally different way according to how that works with other new cultural ideals.
