AC: what do you know about your denizen?
CV: hello mysterious stranger. would you happen to be a friend of zevvie's?
AC: yeah, zevvie is my server. hi.
CV: hello. I'm acalo.
AC: apoc. so, your denizen?
CV: only their name really. why?
AC: she has something you need, a scrying stone. when you told me about this you made it sound like it might actually be a stone moshia.
AC: which for the record is sort of the ultimate ideal of a stone, representing archetypal stone qualities like solidity, alchemical potency, and certainty.
CV: are those the archetypal qualities of stone?
AC: they pretty much arise from the actual properties of stone, so yeah.
CV: not sustenance?
AC: ...
AC: damn, and here was I thinking you only knew that because I told you. what the hell?
CV: I don't entirely know what you're talking about. but here we call the ground we walk on living earth. it's the foundation of the myd.
AC: huh.
CV: so I've talked to you previously. I assume there's some form of time bullshit going on.
AC: yeah, in your future i consulted you about the stone moshia and you told me about the orb thing you're going to get from takhas later.
AC: and you told me to check me notes on what the stone moshia was actually for and tell you in the past.
CV: well. a stone moshia does sound cool to have.
CV: what IS it actually for?
AC: you'll need yours for something specific. i won't spoil the mystery for you.
AC: according to the rabik's notes it has all the properties i mentioned, but their reason for making it was to stop people from starving. a specific group of people, in fact. but neither i nor anyone else who studied their writings had the context to understand yet.
CV: so this rabik is famous then.
CV: keep going. you're doing a great job being mysterious.
AC: excuse me.
CV: was that not your goal?
AC: ok yeah it was but damn you keep calling me out.
CV: hahaha.
AC: the rabik is a super famous alchemist who learned how to talk to angels before it was cool. or one specific angel at least.
AC: they created the stone moshia and shared the process with everyone, though nobody else was able to replicate it for hundreds of years.
AC: it drove everyone crazy and they all formed weird little cults trying to figure out what the rabik hadn't written that would unlock the whole process. then those cults spent centuries getting weirder and weirder and inventing philosophies about it.
AC: does that kind of shit happen on mydistrata?
CV: occasionally.
CV: I'm starting to think some of it was actually about URWORLD though.
AC: yeah well you're gonna laugh when i te
CV: ...apoc?
AC: sorry later.
