I slept in late yesterday, watched Two disks of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles season two, went to dinner, and watched Doctor Who the rest of the night.
It was lots of fun.
Today, I slept in late again, did homework, talked over the phone to a family member in Hawaii, did more homework, and now I'm writing this journal entry.
Meh.

Okay, so the other day My Er'cana suddenly gained five 40-30-20 recepie pellets. Outta nowhere.
Now I'm hearing reports of bahro in Ae'gura?
I'm heading down to see what's up.

02, 20, 10. Cycles.
Sorry for being so Melancholic yesterday. It's just that the four caves in rapid sucession is a bit too much to take in.
Regardless, I went to the Caves one more time, recorded my symbols, and ended the first journey.
I've taken what was given, and returned it. The cycle is complete, again.
For what seems like the fifth time, I've finished the Journey. I've listened this time, though. I listened, and I learned. I've felt the rain. I see the growing tree. I've heard what has been said.
Have you listened, journal of mine?

02, 19, 10. Composure.
I listened to Yeesha, today, her messages. The last few times I took the path I haven't listened, but this time, I did. I listened to Yeesha's warnings about pride and how you must return what you have taken, or it will be taken back. I Took the pillars, then I returned them. Yeesha said "They will be on Relto for a brief Time" Or something simmilar, and she was right.
The only sign on my relto of them ever being there is the fissure. That star filled expanse.
Those who are proud try to take what they cannot keep. She said, "It is from within that nations fall." I think on the state of the world, wishing that it wouldn't seep into my home, my Relto, but it does. History repeats, and if we do not pay attention to it's message, things are doomed to happen again. I've taken this stance with the Bahro. With the cavern. If we return what we take, we will be fine. It's why I am warry of the Donut wedges. The wedges are brought to our reltos with no way of returning them. Pressing the wall print again does nothing.
The reason I mention all this is due to concern. I visited someone's relto recently, despite having finished the Journey, they had the Cleft book on the shelf, Despite ALL of this, they TOOK the pillars back. I heard that bahro's cries of pain.
I guess, really, that I can't force others to do things. "To each their own" as a wise man once said. In the end, no-one listens. Not to Yeesha, not to me; I mean, you're just a journel. A Book. Paper and ink. It doesn't matter if I convince you to take and return things. Not really. And since YOU are just a book, hidden away under my bed, and not an explorer, you can't return what has been taken.
Yeesha said it takes death to bring about a return, when it comes to the proud. Yeesha lost someone dear to her. The D'ni themselves were murdered, All but a few handfulls surviving. For me, Death has come and gone. I remember the day we learned about the war. When That... You know... How people can keep the VERY SOUL of a Bahro on their RELTO of all places after that, I do not know.
They Never Lie Down.
There's been enough death.

02, 18, 10. Introduction to Sardines.
Today was fun. I lit Gira's caves, did a Delin run short on players (Cloth's Three and Four), Hopped through Negilahn's portal, mountain climbed, and I played a game of Sardines in my Teledahn.
Tomorrow, I'll take and return the pillars.

----- Fireflies and Doors
I linked in today, and thankfully, nothing was disturbed. Jalak was intact.
After that little escapade, I linked around to a few hoods, played some 'heek, did two Delin Runs. Got stuck in the door, twice. Escaped once, other time relto'd. I ventured into the main city, Nice place, by the way. Saw some faces from the forums, Though, why people insist on using their forum names instead of the reall ones I don't understand. /Scarcastic. I Went to Minkata, followed a guy around as he attempted to navigate with two hyper running explorers and me in tow. Then I amazed him by finding a cave he hadn't been to yet, so all was not lost. I managed to keep up with the floaty glyph even.
[Laughs]
Later, I went to Groath's Gahreesen. Touched my remaining cloths, but all for not. I didn't use the door. Later still, we went to Kadish Tolesa. Groath had to deal with some surface business, so I took a photo op with A fellow explorer and the /crazy KI command. Groath returned, and we started messing with the first idiotic door of Kadish's security system. There was some confusion over the light floor puzzle. I swore that it looked wrong. Goes to show how much two years time will mess with your memory.
[Light chuckle]
Further more, we went to the moon room, While we were waiting for the thing to charge up, I walked the floor to see if anything would happen.
Turns out, My memory isn't so faulty. As Groath will attest to, I did indeed activate the elevator, then pressed the reset while leaning against the wall in shock. I toyed with the pillars while we were waiting for the elevator to start working again- It was amusing to say the least. We soon got to the vault, and I headed back to my relto, Last cloth touched to the wall.
So, I went to my relto to work things backwards in Kadish. Turns out that even though I touched all seven cloths in Groath's Kadish, they work by personal instance touched. So I realized that, when I linked into the start of the age, my cloth press in Groath's Gahreesen Power room wouldn't work. I'd still go to MY Gahreesen's last cloth. I ended up re-working all of kadish's puzzles in no time at all- even walked the path blind again.
Groath invited me to his Gira when I was about to start another marker mission, good timing. We got our fireflies and lit up his tunnel with out having to make a second trip for flies. Or so we thought when I accidentally run-jumped and scattered my flies and Groath sliped into the water.
It works in theory, but, still...
I'm currious to see what would happen if I stuck my Non-functional Gravity Gun MOC into the GZ Neutrino beam. Would the crystal inside go super on me? Could I actually manipulate gravity?
I'm not willing to test it just yet.

02, 14, 10. Cone Wars?
I was talking with vid last night when he went off on something about Kirel and cones. Several explorers met there and... I have no clue exactly what happened. I seem to be a "Reporter/Judge" for these "Cone Wars" events, between a MOC DRC and Explorers, with my Jalak as one of the main boards.
I'm worried about what I'll find upon linking in...

02, 13, 10. And Such things.
Today, I spent a good long while in Cavern. We had two Pod Parties, durring one of which I saw a Sandscrit (Pic still burried in my KI) and and explorer got teleported to the wrong bahro cave (Delin/Tshogal instead of the Pod Cave). I've done a few parts of random ages, and I went to Phil's relto to do some mountain climbing. I snaged a marker or two, and had a lot of fun over all.
This is what we were missing.
This Is Uru.

----- MY GOGGLES!
I've noticed with a growing trend that every time I go down to the cavern, In the cleft there's a pair of goggles laying around on a table. I have my own, but still...
It's the thought that counts. The sense of normalicy. That has just gone straight out the window.
WHERE ARE THE GOGGLES?!

Ugh, As soon as the DRC said that they were okay with explorer's being down in the cavern, everything went crazy. Forums are slowed to a halt. Everyone's gone message happy and telling everyone and their cousin that we can go back now.
So much for a quiet escape from life.
So, at this point, I'm going fishing. Figureatively speaking.
So, on to Lucky Star!
Ja Ne!

02, 04, 10. Now the Begining is tied to the end.
I'm packing up for a trip back to the cavern.
Soon. Very, Very Soon.
I can hear the call again.
LAXMAN Posted on the DRC forums!
I'm taking this as a sign.
The timing of this is very coincidental. The last two times the cavern closed, it was announced on this very day. Once back in 2004, and once more in 2008. I realized something, as I watched a play through of Myst IV the other day, Atrus said something simialr to "Endings are another form of beginings" which is something a certain Great Spirit said at the beging of the BIONICLE movie "The Legend Reborn." Now, thinking back to this, I remembered the Watcher's Words, of the Grower and the Path of the Shell.
Yeesha herself noted at the end of our first journey: "Now the begining is tied to the end" while changing the Hand Symbol into the Shell one. When I first took the shell path, I didn't remember this. But now it makes sense! Ahnonay-ing involved making a path through "Time" and Space. As did Er'cana, inorder to light up the bahro cave to see the last set of glyphs. When I re-took it back in 2007, this was split in half, making it harder to understand, But I get it now! I really do!"
So, Here we are. A Begining tied to an End. I'm ready to go back. But, first, I have to clear out my schedual. I don't want to just vanish into thin air in the middle of class, now do I?
