Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:13:04 PM)
(was your post she just explained on mauraders I think)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:14:57 PM)
Nodding a little, Cindy thinks on this for a time before. "How does someone become mad like that? I mean, it sounds like something I'd never want to experience."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:18:17 PM)
Gaining too much dynamic resonance. the way to be rid of resonance is to make a talisman. yes you have to put a soul into it part of your own soul but you can change your resonance that way to balance yourself I cannot make one yet though. To be a mad one you have to be in quiet so long that there is hardly any way back. Quiet is a deranged avatar mine went into quiet once. it was not a pleasant experience my love had to shoot me so I would push enough paradox on myself to get rid of all my paradox that shocked me out of quiet.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:20:11 PM)
A wondering look to her eyes as she listens to her description. "I can't even begin to imagine what thats like ... but yes, it sounds bad."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:25:26 PM)
I was seeing the world taken over by the dark god set everything was enslaved by him and everyone was an outcast. serpents ran rampant everywhere and *she paused..* oh.. dear.. either way.. caused the death of my first true love.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:26:51 PM)
A blink at that, Cindy looking stunned before moving to reach over and actually squeeze Starshia's knee, if she lets her. "I'm sorry to hear that. I had thought to ask you to show me something but it sounds like its best not to."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:27:48 PM)
Show you what? I can show you the memories of my delusion should you want me to. It's pain. my love was a euthanos. if anything he taught me the cycle continues and he was meant to die at that time. *she closes her eyes.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:28:52 PM)
A shake of her head. "I was sorta wondering if you could give me a taste of what it feels like ... so I will know what to avoid. If you could do that to me."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:29:15 PM)
to be in quiet? *she looks to her.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:31:04 PM)
"Or a semblance of it. Yes... make me feel what they feel or those marauders do." Shrugging a little. "So I can understand what you're talking about ... rather than just ... well, talk. Experiencing it helps me learn and understand better."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:33:43 PM)
*She sighs and crosses her legs.. closing her eyes as she rubs the pouch in her pocket and pulls it out taking her hand and grasping it with the pouch between them. as a mind link is created. and she felt her resonance change. it changed to something unbalanced completely dynamic and she started to see visuals of what her would would be like if she was in hallucination mode. if her mind her avatar cracked and started to leak out the dynamic resonance.* (which I will leave you to describe because it is entirely too personal for mages. if your mage went insane and started to hallucinate what would she do?)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:36:32 PM)
(pm :) )
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:38:55 PM)
Cindy sits there, hands coming to her head before starting to giggle lightly and her figure starts to flicker, developing into an older woman, still attractive but ... lurid in many ways. Cindy's old mannerisms pushing up to the fore, her sexuality rising. Cindy looking up and down Starshia, licking her lips for a mind. "Well, look at you ... aren't you gorgeous now...."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:40:25 PM)
*She watched her quietly.. observing her mind.. making sure.. that she was healthy enough with the experience making sure it was eye opening.. not mind breaking.. she tilted her head as she looked over the woman.* Oh I am am I?
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:40:41 PM)
*And then her mind sees the most attractive woman she's ever met or thought of.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:42:44 PM)
Cindy moves to raise to her knees, hand coming up to Starshia's cheek, caressing it and looking as much through her as into those wondrous eyes. -q- "Just look at you... like a goddess walking the earth."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:44:22 PM)
*She watches her quietly and smirks idly.. as she seems just as she imagines suddenly starshia drops the effects suddenly sitting her back in reality.*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:46:22 PM)
Cindy finds herself moments away from kissing Starshia, her lips inches away from her and theres this stunned an slightly embarrassed cough before sitting back. "Oh my ... sorry." Her form flickering back as quickly as it happened to her youthful self.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:50:09 PM)
*She watches her quietly and remains calm.. as she clears her throat.* That's what it feels like doing things you normally would NEVER do due to your visions which you have NO control over.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:51:45 PM)
A shake of her head. "I don't know about never do ... but well, you were incredibly beautiful... stunningly so. Was hard to take my eyes off you."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:55:28 PM)
Quiet is worse than insanity it's when your dynamic resonance gets out of control. and takes control mauraders are worse because they are contagious not for a mage's own delusions but if your not strong enough in your ability. they will make you have their own insanity.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 10:56:31 PM)
A quirk for a moment. "So what I felt could be felt by you? I would've made you into that woman? Dangerous ... yes, I understand."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 10:57:55 PM)
All females are women.. i have no idea what you mean *she smirks.* But yes even the most in control mage is a danger when they are out of control. Clarity is when a static resonance takes hold. and I'm quite sure most of the technocracy is in clarity. Johr is a term for when entropic resonance gets out of balance. and they start murdering or destroying everything around them.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:02:10 PM)
Nodding a little, Cindy just sits there, taking it all in and looking at Starshia in a new light, to be honest a little stunned quite how much her mind magic had taken control over her. Such a power and she was practically helpless to it.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:04:21 PM)
Those are the ones of us that are the most dangerous. The technocracy.. think of every big brother government secret that exists.. that is menacing that controls the people. that's them. But now for those we work with to try and bring magic back to the world.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:06:38 PM)
"Mmm ... I know about the technocracy ... you'd mentioned them before too." Moving to reach for her hoodie and pulling it back on. "Mmm, they're just like a magical big brother."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:08:19 PM)
Exactly. with cyborgs. and resident evil scientists. *she chuckles* Either way. The traditions. First the Akashic Brotherhood. You've seen martial arts movies, jackie chan things like that? They like to do Fighting like that with their special martial art. They use magic in fantastic ways through their body. Their specialty oddly enough is mind.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:09:57 PM)
"Yeah ... I know a couple of them. Craig and Gabe ... Craig likes to show off a lot and I think for a while that he was looking at me as maybe being a prospect for his tradition. But ... really, I don't know the first thing about martial arts."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:13:48 PM)
They would teach you. What they look for in a student I think is a strong mind and a balanced heart. (no wonder I forgot the second tradition in the book :P) Celestial Chorus is the next tradition we are allied with. I dissagree with most of them but they at least dont come witchhunting us and burning us at the stake anymore. They like to pick from paradigms or thoughts and beliefs of magic whom include monotheism in some sense. God and Allah are the most common form. They think they pull the energy of god, or prime into their magic.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:15:33 PM)
A small smile at this, nodding to Starshia. "Mmm, I know a little of all this ... though not said quite verbatum like you are. Forgive me if I seem a little know it all ... having it said directly does confirm things I've found as I've met people."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:17:32 PM)
That's good. but I'm going to provide you with something as well that the sleeping christians would not provide. A glimpse into every tradition available who will teach you and protect you well. Next is the Cult of esctasy. They claim they like to free themselves from everything. From taboo from laws, from sex. and in freeing themselves in changing with the world. and remaining free they can see the world around them and how it works. thier sphere is time. Usually they use sex drugs and exercise as a medium for their magic.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:19:32 PM)
A shake of her head then. -q- "I don't think I could ever join them, they are everything I have escaped from in this new life of mine. I don't know if you'd believe me ... but when I awoke, I was a forty three year old stripper in Reno."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:21:44 PM)
(ha ha that's where I came from in rl) *She watched her quietly.* Oh yes I believe it I have seen it in your mind. Next tradition is the Dreamspeakers, Shamans of the world. their sphere of influence is spirit. They speak to and conduct business with spirits. They are also the people to talk to regarding posession. Though I do have a vast influence in the spirit sphere as well. Just because you are a tradition doesn't mean you can't branch out *she smirks.* Usually you would find them in america in the native american population. But I'm sure you could see them from other shamanic cultures as well.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:22:05 PM)
(honestly could haev made her from story county mustang ranch :P)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:22:16 PM)
(the ONLY legal brothel in the us)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:23:01 PM)
(well there are a few but only exist in nevada)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:24:52 PM)
(not a brothel, just a stripper. Though never said she didn't dabble in the illegal)
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:25:26 PM)
(he he)
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:25:52 PM)
"Well, you know what I can do and honestly from what you've said I'll be an unusual Verbena myself ... but I understand your point."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:27:50 PM)
*She nods* On to the next! Euthanos. Euthanos are deathmages in the most simplistic sense of the word. My love was one *She sighs.* Either way what they do.. is they find those that unbalance the world. The souless murderers rapists and torturers of the world. and they destroy them to make them go through the cleansing process to have a new life. They believe fully in the cycle and usually don't start killing until they are well within the tradition and have been tested thoroughly.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:28:20 PM)
They don't just kill nephandi and mauraders and technocrats they kill the creatures before they spawn as nephandi.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:28:57 PM)
A considering look. "You mentioned Jhor... I can understand why you mentioned it with them. Killing ... is not something to ever be taken lightly."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:31:16 PM)
More like a Verbana every day. *She smirks.* Don't get me wrong everything has a life cycle and I do agree rapists and torturers can't help themselves but perhaps with a little help magically in the way their body and mind works they could be spared. Next is the self proclaimed leaders of the traditions. hailing from Egypt we have... Hermetics, or the Order of Hermes. Like their predicessors, they do magic based on symbols and the power of words. they are joined in many different houses usually their main sphere is forces. Oh and by the way. Euthanos' sphere is Entropy death and fate under thier control.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:34:47 PM)
"Mmm, I've met a few Order of Hermes, they do definitely like to talk the talk. Most of the time that just meant I got really bored and sorta ... zoned out." A soft amused smile, thinking about that and how bad that must sound.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:38:29 PM)
*She smirks.* Well can't stop one's opinions really. Next are the sons of ether. *she sighs.* Enlightened scientists. Think Doctor frankenstien.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:38:50 PM)
But most like to use physics and mechanical means to use magic. their sphere is matter naturally.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:40:02 PM)
"I'm guessing they're on our side cause their science isn't ... rationale but more pushing at what is ... really impossible. Well, not to the normal person anyway."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:41:56 PM)
*She nods.* They conflict somewhat. but they gave the bird to the technocracy and proved their place so eh *she shrugs.* Next is Virtual Adepts. They are virtual hackers, it's difficult to actually meet one due to that fact. They usually use their internet names in meeting and meet in an umbral realm. Their sphere is corrospondence.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:43:55 PM)
"Our computer nerds." Smiling faintly. "And last .... the Verbena right?" Seeming to look down, considering how many have been said. "Yes, only the Verbena that I can think of."
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:44:25 PM)
Well there is the anti tradition.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:46:52 PM)
"Anti tradition? Huh?" Okay, definitely not getting that then.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:48:13 PM)
*She chuckles.* Hollow Ones, They are a group of people that don't like tradition. they don't understand why tradition is in place and do dangerous things. *she shrugs.* But they work against the technocracy and get some intel that we can't usually get a hold of.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:48:22 PM)
they don't have a specialty sphere.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:50:33 PM)
"Oh, so they group themselves up ... which is the only thing that makes them different from an orphan?"
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:51:00 PM)
Pretty much. they learn from each other more freely. and are usually very gothic. in nature.
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:51:17 PM)
and they are usually... very...depressing.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:53:07 PM)
"Right ... people to avoid. Gotcha." Smiling faintly and adjusting her hoodie a little. "Look, I'll be honest but you really think I make a good verbena?
Starshia (Jul 28, 2010 11:54:36 PM)
Wouldn't have offered if I didn't. I'm a very honest person usually.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 28, 2010 11:55:39 PM)
"Right ..." Smiling faintly and just looking across at her as the time passes, surrounded by bracken and shrubbery as they are. "Well, thanks. So ... whats next?"
