"I don't want friends who steal my memories as payment for doing them a service. That's a little bit toxic."

Calano extended his hand, shoving the 'stranger' backwards with a burst of crimson energy.

[Ranryu she/her]

Luckily, Noot survived to eat cookies another day.

Calano extended his hand, shoving the 'stranger' backwards with a burst of crimson energy.

Everyone slid backwards a few feet, managing to stay standing. "Fair enough. But, I'll have you know that I was only trying to take the memories where I was involved, and that it was nothing personal."

[Going_North_cal]

"I guess I do have to thank you for this... power. But still, we can't be friends. Sorry not sorry."

[NameIess]

Nameless got tired of waiting and appeared in front of Calano. "What're you doing?"

[Going_North_cal]

"Waiting." Calano said, smiling.

[NameIess]

"For what?"

[Going_North_cal]

"The right moment."

[NameIess]

"The right moment for what?"

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

"Sounds ominous. Imma wait here, since I want to see what this 'moment' is all about." Everyone summoned a lawn chair and a beach umbrella, sitting down and flipping open a magazine.

"The right moment for what?"

Calano looked up at the sun, which slowly made it's way across the sky. He grinned, and checked the disk in his hand.

"You'll see."

Just now, CalanoCorvus said:

Calano looked up at the sun, which slowly made it's way across the sky. He grinned, and checked the disk in his hand.

"You'll see."

"That's... not ominous at all." Nameless sat down on the ground and started flipping a coin. "You ever get that feeling where you think you've done something a million times before?"

[Going_North_cal]

"Sure." Calano said, bending down and fidgeting with a small bronze device. "Happens all the time. Deja vu, right?"

[NameIess]

"I guess. Well, you going to take over the universe with your new powers?"

[Going_North_cal]

Calano didn't respond. Instead, he glanced up at the sun, then at his disk, then at the bronze device on the ground.

"Maybe..." He muttered, "But if I reverse the polarity of this part..." He waved his hand, and a small click sounded from the device.

He looked up at the sun again. It was still moving slowly.

Calano grinned, then turned to Nameless.

"Welcome to the new era, Nameless. Darkness."

He rotated his fist, and the sun blinked out. The temperature dropped, and the darkness became oppresive.

[NameIess]

Nameless nodded appreciatively. "Interesting. Why'd you hate the sun?"

[Going_North_cal]

Calano shrugged, then rotated his fist again. The stars that were beggining to shine through blinked out of existence as well.

"I don't. Darkness is just cool."

[NameIess]

"Hm." Stars started popping back up again, shining dimly through the darkness. "I kinda like light though."

[Going_North_cal]

Calano looked up at the stars. "Even engineering can't stop natural processes. Those stars are new. Brand new, by the looks of them."

He looked at Nameless. "Light is oppresive. You really want something that lets everyone see everything you do?"

Meanwhile, Rym grabbed Moni and Found and mounted Lightseeker, and they began to fly towards the mountain.

Lightseeker casts animus spells so they aren't affected by the changes Calano is making to the fabric of the universe.

[NameIess]

"Does darkness really hide what you do? It merely provides a false sense of security."

[Going_North_cal]

"Better a false sense of security than no security."

Calano waved his hand, and meteors flashed in the sky.

"But you have a point. There is beauty in the light."

Calano waved his hand again, and all the lights went out.

"But there is a silent beauty in the dark."

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Wizard appears. "Darkness never hides anything, it only blinds you to the truth."

[Going_North_cal]

"Or, it clears your vision to see the truth."

"Well, light also is pretty important for life."
