[ If you had paid visit before, you might notice that where you start seems fairly familiar. But since most of you haven't… the first thing you'll notice is red. Dark red all around you. The sky, the ground—everything is red. It's impossible to make out anything among the color. But if you attempt to stare at any particular space for too long, you'll discover it pulses, flows.

And then there is a laugh that you are probably very acquainted with by now, only this time it’s LOUDER, wracking inside your skull. ]

FOOLISH WORMS! THIS IS MY DOMAIN NOW. YOU SHALL ALL PERISH. TORN ASUNDER. NOTHING LEFT.

[ Well then. ]

[ Yep, that sure is an 'Eclipse' book and the impressions in the dust suggest another book used to be here but it was moved... ]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

How does it look?

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

[to Kira] I found Eclipse, it's all right. I wonder if Jill's or Solstice's book was up there with him, before.

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

It could be. He was recent.

See how strong the feelings are in it.

Re: AMETHYST

[flipping through Eclipse's book]

Re: AMETHYST

[stigmateyes]

[ These feelings are more subdued than the others. They're most wondering and cautious... ]

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

That's strange... They're really quiet sorts of feelings, like Night's unsure about something.

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

...that'd match Solstice.

We should put that on an easier to reach shelf.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

With the rest of the present Amethyst, perhaps?

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Yes.

It might be the metaphor is how easy it is to reach out to people.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

[worried look] The easiest are people who are not here on a regular basis anymore.

[climbing down, Eclipse in tow, and putting his book with the rest of present Amethyst on middle shelf]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Are their stays interrupted that much?

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

Well, Haruki and Jill just left recently, and Pepper returned for a little bit during and after the battle.

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Haaaa, jeeze. No wonder he's been having such a rough time.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

And that tree... Night feels like people will leave if he gets too close, doesn't he?

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Hmmm, I think it's more like he feels he failed the people who left.

Most people who leave that's not a Good End, do so because the Darkness has targeted them.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

Like Juto, when Galaxy came in. Even if I hadn't known him long, it still hurt.

I wish we got more chances to strike back at the Darkness!

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

One day.

It would probably help people.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

I want to get them all back. All those people Night's lost - all those people we've lost. [All Amethysts are hers!]

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Of course.

The Darkness won't keep away what belongs to us.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

We've beaten it once - in my time alone - we can do it again, and again, and again, until there's nothing of it left, if need be.

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

We will.

[Though hopefully more efficiently than that.]

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

All right. Now, what else do you think we should do with the books?

Re: AMETHYST

[shednotearsformagic]

Write a few things in the new one's book? Not too much, just enough to not be so horrified.

Re: AMETHYST

[crimsonjewel]

Let's start with her team name. I think it meant a lot to Night when I chose one, despite knowing what my name was, and Galaxy did the same thing.
