(07/07 15:43:05) Kelsei A.T.: Shorah, Ben
(07/07 15:43:18) Benavud: Oh! Hi.
(07/07 15:43:25) Benavud: How are you, Miss Taylor?
(07/07 15:43:36) Benavud: I'm in the room with the...uh...the floating egg thing.
(07/07 15:43:37) Kelsei A.T.: ive had better days, and ive had worse
(07/07 15:43:53) Benavud: Hi!
(07/07 15:43:53) Kelsei A.T.: ah. the Seed.
(07/07 15:43:59) Benavud: It's a Seed?
(07/07 15:44:02) Kelsei A.T.: apparently
(07/07 15:44:06) Kelsei A.T.: everyone just calls it an egg
(07/07 15:44:10) Benavud: So it's going to grow into something?
(07/07 15:44:23) Kelsei A.T.: symbolicly, i think it represents the Great Tree before it grew
(07/07 15:44:30) Kelsei A.T.: realisticly, i think its just a statue
(07/07 15:44:37) Benavud: I don't know what the Great Tree is.
(07/07 15:44:46) Kelsei A.T.: ah, D'ni metaphor for the multiverse at large
(07/07 15:44:51) Benavud: Oh. Ok.
(07/07 15:44:57) Benavud: Hey, can you explain another thing to me?
(07/07 15:44:57) Kelsei A.T.: every world, a branch of a branch on a massive tree
(07/07 15:45:00) Kelsei A.T.: sure
(07/07 15:45:16) Benavud: Every time people see me they say "Shor-AH." What does it mean?
(07/07 15:45:23) Kelsei A.T.: "Peace"
(07/07 15:45:28) Kelsei A.T.: it's a D'ni greeting,
(07/07 15:45:36) Kelsei A.T.: similar to the Hawaiian "Aloha"
(07/07 15:45:36) Benavud: Oh. Ok, that makes sense.
(07/07 15:46:07) Kelsei A.T.: a fuller phrase is "Shorah B'shemtee" or "Peace to You", and then there's plurals that get even bigger to encompass even larger groups.
(07/07 15:46:11) Benavud: See, this is why I think I'm not D'ni. I know the word "Aloha," but not the word "Shorah."
(07/07 15:46:15) Kelsei A.T.: but most folks stick to "Shorah." It's snappier.
(07/07 15:46:20) Kelsei A.T. hums in agreement
(07/07 15:46:41) Kelsei A.T.: yes, it's likely that, where-ever you come from, you're definitely accustomed to earth surface life,
(07/07 15:46:48) Benavud: Yeah.
(07/07 15:46:54) Kelsei A.T.: whether it's this earth or a parallel one... that's the question I suppose.
(07/07 15:46:58) Benavud: I've definitely been to at least some of the Yeesha Ages, though.
(07/07 15:47:09) Kelsei A.T.: I would have thought so, given the shirt
(07/07 15:47:19) Benavud: I recognised things in Eder Gira and Gahreesen when I went there with some others.
(07/07 15:47:34) Kelsei A.T.: that's good,
(07/07 15:47:36) Benavud: But I've been back a bunch of times on my own and haven't recognized anything new.
(07/07 15:47:43) Benavud is a bit puzzled...
(07/07 15:47:58) Kelsei A.T.: sometimes life is like that- if you're not ready to remember something, you won't.
(07/07 15:48:05) Kelsei A.T.: Calum's remarked on that a few times that I remember,
(07/07 15:48:07) Benavud: But I want to remember
(07/07 15:48:14) Benavud: At least, I think I do.
(07/07 15:48:22) Kelsei A.T.: things from his childhood that scared him a bit, so he tried not to remember.
(07/07 15:48:27) From Dni_seeker 5 in Dni_seeker 5's Relto: Hello
(07/07 15:48:48) Kelsei A.T.: sometimes it's a trauma response, i think.
(07/07 15:48:52) Kelsei A.T.: physical or emotional,
(07/07 15:48:58) Kelsei A.T.: a blow to the head certainly counts,
(07/07 15:49:22) Kelsei A.T. leans against the podium
(07/07 15:49:29) Benavud: DS5 just messaged me. He wants to go to Teledahn.
(07/07 15:49:36) Kelsei A.T.: ah, teledahn, hm?
(07/07 15:49:41) Benavud: Hi DS5.
(07/07 15:49:44) Kelsei A.T.: well, i wouldn't mind a trip there myself,
(07/07 15:49:49) Benavud: Ok.
(07/07 15:49:53) Dni_seeker 5: Okay, you two can both come
(07/07 15:49:58) Kelsei A.T.: if that's okay with you, ben?
(07/07 15:49:59) Benavud: Let's go to DS5's Teledahn.
(07/07 15:50:02) Kelsei A.T.:
(07/07 15:50:02) Benavud nods his head
(07/07 15:50:07) Benavud: Yeah, the more the merrier!
(07/07 15:50:23) Benavud: Ouch.
(07/07 15:50:28) Benavud: The door closed and I bumped my nose.
(07/07 15:50:30) Kelsei A.T.: door to the face?
(07/07 15:50:36) Dni_seeker 5: Oh...
(07/07 15:50:40) Kelsei A.T.: gotta be careful with these, ah, 'star trek' doors
(07/07 15:50:53) Benavud: Hi DS5
(07/07 15:50:56) Kelsei A.T. eyes Benavud to see if he reacts to that name any...
