Adjudication {Community involvement}






It's fruitless for two beings who cannot die to fight. At least, that is, when using bodies that are merely illusions.

They say that knowledge is power.

The Catsear and the Dandelion cast off roots. Each weed wishing to choke out the other.



Knowledge indeed.

But to create a solid being. That Knowledge must be searched for.

Here, questions will be asked.
For each you get right. The form of Mr.Alabaster shall be solidified.
For each you get wrong. Mr.Sanguine shall become more solid.
Whomever becomes solid first shall be quite close to death.

"Who or what is Sandalphon?"

Uhh...That sounds familiar...I'll go out on a limb and say it has something to do with an angel or arch-angel or something? Probably not it, but it can't hurt TOO much to guess.

Do you mean 'name three

Do you mean 'name three religions with a concept of a seperate plane of afterlife existance' or just 3 in general?

If and only if you mean the latter: Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Taoism (it's a philosophy/religion, but is generally considered a religion). Picked some obscure-ish ones so that others could take the easy ones.

Clever, clever. The fourth

Clever, clever.

She watches, impassive,

She watches, impassive, eternal.

But it must not have been what was to be,
For outside her window alights on a reed
A sanguine dragonfly,
And she knew what she wanted.

Having realized her

Having realized her misunderstanding, she gathers herself up.

Quietly, she lifts herself from the patch of space she has always occupied, and with steps quite unlike those of one who remains still, she approaches the catsear.

She looks him in the eye, and quietly speaks.

edit:
"Better the devil I know."

(This is a really fun interaction, though I don't want to see Mr. Sanguine replaced by Mr. Alabaster lol)

She giggled girlishly. Her

She giggled girlishly. Her own plant was like a sister, almost.

She wanted to hold back, to sustain the red one's life...but she couldn't help but spill the amusing truth.

It can be a diruetic, sire.
