       Licht/Schwarz [Final]
       By: Chente Date: December 7, 2021, 5:33 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Licht careens into the void, having gone past
       the fake wall behind Pandora's chair. This was the way to the
       Reverse World of Morz.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: *schwarz
       Schwarz raised an eyebrow, walking forward.... feeling out the
       area, expecting some array of ltierature in enchantments and
       other schools she could make from... but found nothing... was
       this supposed to happen?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: She remembers what the book said; about how much
       of Pandoras knowledge and information is stored in this library.
       And finally, her master allowed her to head in. But it was
       strange-- it was just, blackness.s
       Schwarz brought a hand to her chin, recalling there were
       scenarios like this in fictional literature where she'd be able
       to think of a book and it'd just appear in her hand...was this
       the case..? <I want a book on enchantments> She thought to
       herself.
       Schwarz simply waiting for a book to pop in hand
       ((OOC)) Leif :: As Schwarz moved her hand, a path lit up ahead
       of her, and she noticed something even weirder. Her hand.. arm..
       body..
       Schwarz staring at her hand disinterestingly, she turned her
       head towards the lit path guiding her. Instead walking forward
       seeing as how this void apparently had some kind of direction.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: It was as if the colors in them had been
       switched. Her black hair was now a shining, illustrious mane of
       white-- yet otherwise she looked as if the room around her was
       completely dark, with little light.
       Schwarz :: Tch. Licht.
       Schwarz shaking her head at her immediate though of her sister,
       simply frowned before coming back to a deadpan as she continued
       on, she looked around... could she see anything else?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The path continued before her, on and on, though
       she did notice one off-putting thing. There was someone in the
       distance, approaching her slowly
       ((OOC)) Leif :: They looked similar ot her.
       Schwarz paused. Staring at them, eyeing them up and down
       affirming to see if it was a mirror
       ((OOC)) Leif :: They followed her movements. But they had less
       wild hair then her, and.. wait a second. She recognized them
       suddenly.
       Schwarz(Noakami) <---- Licht?
       Schwarz  brought her head down in mild annoyance ''Fuck! I
       didn't come here for some dumb reatrded introspection!''
       breaking her character a bit before bringing hand to her
       forehead to push back her bangs and stand straight.
       Schwarz furrowing her eyebrows maintaining her annoyed look, she
       simply continued forward walking down the guided path,
       inevitably knowing she would have to face whatever casm of
       nonsense pandora's likely defenses to her library were or
       something of the sort.
       Schwarz  *retarded
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz walks forward. Licht walks forward,
       towards her.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz walks forward some more. Licht continues
       to walk forward towards her.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The two near eachother, walking towards
       eachother. They walk, and walk, and walk..
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Eventually, their heads are a mere inch apart as
       they walk.
       Time has run out!
       ((OOC)) Leif :: And then-- they pass through eachother.
       Schwarz  her eyes soften, a bit worried. Why didn't she try and
       reach out to her?
       Schwarz takes a moment to look back to see if Licht had left or
       was still mirroring her
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Licht was no longer there. Instead, as Schwarz
       looks behind her with worry, she notices a door laying on the
       ground.
       Schwarz purses her lips bowing her head slightly to the side
       shaking her head, before reaching down towards the handle,
       opening it.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz opened the handle of the door laying on
       the ground, which lead into a different room. How would she
       enter it, though? Would she jump down the door?
       Schwarz  considered her options, looking around once more to see
       if there were anything else within the void she was currently in
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Nothing else remained around Schwarz. Infact,
       the path was rapidly disappearing behind her.
       Schwarz confirming this, she did as her only option gave her to
       jumping through the door.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The door quickly closes behind Schwarz as the
       gravity shifts when she jumps in, lightly turning her to land on
       the ground.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The room was far more grounded then the void
       before-- actually objects were here. There was a skull-cauldron
       fountain in the middle, pouring mana-rich water, multiple hooded
       statues and most notably of all, a lowing magenta gem above the
       fountain.
       Schwarz coming to sliding halt just as gravity shifted, she took
       a moment to look around the room as she slowly came back up. She
       pondered..''Where... am I now?''
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Only one other door seemed to exit out of the
       room. There was a stairway up, but it led to nothing.
       Schwarz moving forward, she approached the mana-rich water,
       stringing her hand through it. Wondering where the mana was
       coming from, only to come and note the only exit out of the
       room.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz (100 SK Recovered)
       Schwarz :: ...Whoa.
       Aki has plugged in!
       Aki has joined the RP.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: This water.. could recover mana? It was quite
       surprising.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: normally, Magicians drank a lot of fluids in
       other to hydrate their body, but that only made it easier to
       concentrate and gather mana-- it didn't actually fill you
       instantly.
       Schwarz looking back down towards the stream of water, she drew
       several vials from her magic satchel wanting to study the
       phenomenon further. Giving up the idea of wanting to stuff the
       entire fountain in there.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: [God's Blood (Restore maximum HP & SK) x2]
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The magenta gem above the fountain began to
       rotate in multiple directions at once, as a voice rang out..
       Schwarz she steepped back looking around, before turning her
       attention back towards the fountain.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Research Project Aganimno: To Become
       a God (T-Type 445). Log, start.
       Schwarz :: -----Huh?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz instantly recognized Pandora's voice,
       although it sounded more youthful-- sparkly, even.
       Schwarz  squinted at this ''....The Hex? Is this some old audio
       log?''
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: It is well understood and confirmed
       by high-ranking members of the Salendrian Orthodoxy, the Magi of
       Illiaster, and the Solemn of Grafta that gods do not have actual
       souls. They maintain, however, something similar-- colloquially
       known as their divine spark.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The gem above th efountain continued to rotate,
       faster and faster as her voice continued. "Gods have existed
       since pre-history, powerful beings who still routinely interact
       with our world. They possess a divine spark capable of many
       things and made of many more things: however a large amount of
       this divine spark is twilight (&#8764;60-70% of adult god
       'soul').''
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: &#8764;A target intake of 0.03 uptums
       of God's Blood per day, can grant one the status of a Touched
       over a few years with few side effects. Gods hold atleast 2100
       megauptums of pure twilight inside themselves.
       Schwarz turned towards the fountain once more, staring at it's
       design and back at the vials in hand... giving her attention
       back the source of the voice.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The skull-face on the auldron, the brutalist
       positioning-- in many ways it reminded Schwarz of old mortalist
       art.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: xcess twilight is strongly linked to
       a growth more strength in gods, but less mental stability,
       increases in spiritual En- and De- pressure (hypermagitension)
       and subsequently pre-disposes them to the onset of soul rot
       disease (SRD), a leading cause of death in magicians, spirits
       and more that have lived too long. In humans, excess twilight is
       known only for its negative.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Individuals who have had excess
       contact with gods, angels and the divine-- especially directly,
       often become ill. Atleast 34% of all Touched within the Sarrzian
       territory have some illness affecting their soul.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Some typography appears above the gem at the
       very end, as it stops rotating. " (cc. 628 A.C.)"
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Or, 12 years ago.
       Schwarz :: A memorandum, huh. She's really nuts about the gods
       isnt she?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: A monotone, female voice rings out from the gem
       now. "Three messages remaining."
       Schwarz bringing the vial up close she spun it around in hand
       ''God's Blood hm. I'll keep that in mind.'' closing each vile
       and placing them in her satchel, she approached the gem, using
       her mana reinforcement to try and sense out a way she could read
       the remaining ones as she apparoched
       Schwarz :: ---Uh, read the the following messages?
       Schwarz :: the*)
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Research thus far on Transfundo
       Unicus has slowed in progress. Only Unique Features of
       rank-phenotype D+ or lower, that are related atleast tangently
       to DNA, can be transfered at this time.
       Schwarz :: ...Transfering Unique Features?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Attempt #131 on Mice Subject ADA to
       imbue UF #34 (Polymer Secretion) has shown signs of successfuly
       forming plastic: subjects bloodstream had trace amounts of
       Polyvinyl chloride inside. Autopsy and toxicology however reveal
       Subject ADA to have died from plastic poisoning.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Query research into imbuing a unique
       features natural resistance with the transfer pending.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Addendum A-- Transforming mice into
       humans has become difficult on current budget; all of Goliath's
       species transmutation talismans have been exhausted, and hes not
       responding to any hummingbirds.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Addendum B--  I've messaged numerous
       cohort and magicians in other nations to proceed with this:
       Crinkledust, Goliath, Senna, Kinsho, the Illaister and even Neko
       and Vanity. All signs are pointing to the main issue being based
       on a strange occurence between the En- leyline, the De- leyline,
       the karmic cycle and simple spiritual rejection-- soul rot.
       Schwarz :: ...Why is she going this far?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: For whatever reason, even though our
       research should show that its not the case. Overuse of magic,
       unique features, combining energies and spiritual signatures,
       accessing the aetherflow-- no matter the safeguards, at some
       point the user will suffer backlash to their being. Overdraw is
       inevitable, as seen thus far.
       Schwarz :: Wait.. was this all to do with her Master?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Contact with Neko shows that even
       beings with connections to the Upper Domain cannot avoid it;
       thus she has CAT-DOS perform the akashic magic for her.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: Only pure-bred deities with a natural
       level of twilight in their natural divine sparks, are immune to
       overdraw. The-- oh, off the word-- disable note-taking.

       Zack Zpyr has joined the RP.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Her voice took on a less formal tone as she
       sighed in the audio log. "I went to master's home and spoke with
       him; this entire process has been grating to say the least. I
       don't know why I bothered, considering hes a vegetable, but.. he
       would have known what to do. He was the greatest man I ever
       knew, who fought against the natural order. Yet even it took him
       in the end, at the very peak. The crue
       Zack Zpyr >.>)
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The cruelest irony."
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: I've been trying and trying for the
       past years and I can't figure it out. UF, Twilight, Magic, Chaos
       all this nonsense. It's all tied into this.. this..
       inevitability. Why is magic so lethal to the human spirit? Why
       are the divine so resistant to it? Why are they not born with
       UFs? What is the single bond of the entire supernatural world?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: &#8764;And why is it already
       affecting me?&#8764;
       Schwarz :: ...The Hex is dying?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: I have to save them. Me, Morn,
       Master.. even him, with what hes become. I can't lose any more
       to this evil that is 'the natural order'. I want to become the
       greatest magician. I want to live forever. I want it -all-.
       Ashe Garland has plugged in!
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: What's the point of magic if you cant
       do that? I..
       Schwarz :: Indeed.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Pandora :: ..Signing off, Pandora Yuhwe. High
       Magus of Enchantment.
       Schwarz  she immediately seemed to snap at the abrupt end of the
       subject ''Play the next message.''
       ((OOC)) Leif :: The monotone voice from earlier chimes in with a
       negative. "Next message is corrupted. Audio unknown."
       Schwarz sighed in dismay ''Just when I was getting invested too.
       So the Hex is also on borrowed time huh?'' staring at the
       presumed God's blood streaming in heaps from the fountain.
       Ashe Garland has plugged out!
       Schwarz grimaced looking back at her hand considering she had
       just grazed it. She simply shook ehr hand making her way up the
       stairs towards the door opening it and walking through.
       Ashe Garland has plugged in!
       Elijah has plugged out!
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz pushes open the door..
       Elijah has plugged in!
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Books.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Books.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Books books books books books books books-- as
       far as the eye can see.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: She had never seen this much space used almost
       purely for a library, a catalogue.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: What wasn't sued for that-- was still used for
       research. One of the first things hse saw walking in was a
       table, with someone laying on it, covered in cloth, with the
       symbol '&#931;.' written on it.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: In mathematics, The symbol  &#931;
       generally used to denote a sum of multiple terms.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: In magical formula, its sort of similar. It
       represents multiplication of addition-- it is the closest symbol
       to &#8734; after &#960;.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Was a self-sufficient magic imbued onto the
       cloth?
       Schwarz  naturally curious of the body laying ont the table,
       Schwarz approached the possible corpse unmasking it.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: A child, no older then fourteen, laid deceased
       on the table.
       Schwarz skimmed over the body, were they familiar..?
       ((OOC)) Leif :: It was a boy, but somehow, they reminded you of
       Pandora actually. They had the same hair color, eye color and
       tiny nose.
       Schwarz :: A Homunculi?
       Schwarz :: ..Some alternate universe counterpart?
       Schwarz :: ---Well. Whatever, I suppose its all a means to an
       end.
       Schwarz covering the face back up, she turned towards the rest
       of the room, skimming the books around. Bringing her hands
       together and cracking them ''I supposed I could look into her
       research a bit after I've gotten what I needed.''
       Schwarz :: Hopefully whatever she has planned works out.
       ((OOC)) Leif :: Schwarz spent 4 months in the library.
