Tale as Old As Time [Finished]

[CalamityJade]

Morden takes his and looks it over. "That IS rather clever. I'm actually rather curious how you managed it. From the look of it, you would have had to make those folds precicely in order twice to get the names there. Not a small feat, I must say."

[accalia]

"It suffices to keep the hands occupied while the mind thinks." Echo mutters. His colouring makes it hard to tell but he appears to be blushing at the praise.

[yamikuronue]

"I'd love to learn something like that. Perhaps knitting or some such." adds Siegfried.

[CalamityJade]

"You mean that you would love to be good with your hands?" Morden gives that concideration. "That seems like a worth-wild goal." Morden took a seat at one of the lounge chairs. "I am actually fairly bad at tasks such as those. It always tens to end up crooked."

[accalia]

"This one would be happy to offer lessons. The art is not hard, it merely takes patience and practice" Echo comments.

After another moment He turns to Vi. "You were talking last night about this one and you seemed to know something that you didn't want to say... What was that?"

[yamikuronue]

Vi looks at Morden. "I said pretty much all I knew..."

Siegfried adds, "It wouldn't be the first time he failed to recall a conversation."

[accalia]

"It still seems to this one that there was something you were going to say, but didn't want to. maybe something you don't know for sure, but rather suspect... Or is this one wrong about that?"

Echo questions again, but this time he sounds far less sure of himself.

[CalamityJade]

"I...believe that may have something to do with myself rather than you, Echo...was there something you wished to speak to me about?" Morden had noticed the look and considering her actions yesterday may not have been completely random, there might be some reason.

[yamikuronue]

Vi shakes her head. "I have no idea what you mean, sorry."

[accalia]

"Once again, apologies then, This one does not mean to"

Echo begins to reply, before interrupting himself, his voice shifting to that of a female while he suddenly begins radiating a presence in the astral plane.

"Help us.... There is a chance in this cycle to end the cycles..... Next cycle will not have that chance and another chance will come too late... the next chance will be too late."

Echo's voice shifts back to his normal tone, and his presence disappears from the astral plane again.

"offer offence through faulty memory. Pray forgive this one."

[CalamityJade]

Morden blinked a couple of times, as that sounded pretty dire. "Clearly you meant no offense." He still wasn't sure how to talk to Echo about those outbursts. They seem less than random and this was was actually quite desparate. "And I'm sure that Vi would agree."

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried looks concerned, chewing his lower lip.

Vi blinks. "Okay, that's weird. I guess there's a time limit. Anyone know how long a cycle is?"

Siegfried hesitantly volunteers, "if it's time until I get kicked out of his-- their -- mind, it's a few minutes?"

Vi winces. "Let's hope it's not that."

[accalia]

"This one does not understand..... what cycle?"

Echo's eyes glaze slightly as His voice switches to that of the other presence.

"As the moon finishes its cycle and renews itself so too does the cycle."

[yamikuronue]

"Ah, so a month from..." She squints up at the sky, trying to see if the moon is out.

"From today," Siegfried replies, helpfully. "It's the full moon now."

[accalia]

"No, The moon begins to decline today, It renews itself on the new moon... Your chance grows slowly slimmer the closer to the renewal we come..."

Echo looks puzzled, when he replies. It's fairly obvious he doesn't remember the words the other presence speaks through him.

"This one is not following this conversation at all... Why is the moon important?"
