further controversy

[aforethought]

FORM: Sending crystal.
SENDER: Melys.
RECIPIENT: You.
WHAT: Other very important decisions.
WHEN: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
WHERE: Location
NOTES: There will be no OOC poll. This is your only chance.

Now, this is real important, so everyone's got to listen to me. Get your ears open and scoop out what-all's crawled in since last — I'm set to blow your fucking minds.

As you all know, there's going to be a new chief holy biddy soon, and I'll promise you my right arm that means change is coming. Here in Kirkwall we got a di-verse crew. Why there's traitor Vints, there's traitor elves, there'd even be some traitor mages if they weren't so innocent and pure.

All that under the sun, and you get to wondering what the state of that sun ought to be. More important, what all's around it.

I say we take a vote. Please think on it careful:

What colour's the sky? I reckon it's blue.

Comments

[coquettish_trees]

Hearsay and conjecture!

[coquettish_trees]

Everyone knows it to be green.

[aforethought]

If you're dead blind. What we'll all be, you keep on ignoring the facts.

[coquettish_trees]

[ brightly: ] If one is persistent and powerful enough eventually the sky might be called green and the grass called blue. The colour itself shall not change, of course. So it is with all truths!

[justice_is_blond]

Sky blue, to be precise. Not to be confused with deep-ocean blue, or freezing-to-death blue.

[aforethought]

Now you gone and made yourself arbiter of blue? I don't remember no vote.

[justice_is_blond]

This is a vote. You already said we were doing one. I vote for precise color names.

[aforethought]

What, trying to throw my words back at me?

[altusimperius]

[wearily,]

we're not traitors.

[aforethought]

You an elf, or a mage?

[altusimperius]

... a mage. But I meant Tevenes.

[esquive]

I've heard the sky's even blue where rifters come from. Or was anyway.

[aforethought]

How d'you figure that?

[chainlightning]

Black.

[ Pause. ]

When it's night.

[esquive]

[congratulations, you are the winner of one (1) weird orlesian guffaw]

[chainlightning]

[ :D yay ]

[aforethought]

Naw. Night's stars. Stars're fire shown through. Fire's blue.

Sky's blue.

[coquettish_trees]

If a white dress has pink embroidery, is the dress pink?

[inkindled]

[wow wait]

Stars're not fire. Who says?

[chainlightning]

Fire isn't always blue. Why would these ones be blue and not other fire?

Besides, the night isn't all stars.

[hornswoggle]

Even when it's gray?

[justice_is_blond]

Is that its color, or does it just look like that because there's no light? Like a dark room.

[chainlightning]

There's light from the stars.

[wont_be_me]

It depends on the atmosphere of the planet.

[aforethought]

Yeah, yeah. I can make up words too. 'Shart'. 'Boondoggle'.
