05/19/21 - Limsan Nights

[R'Lamiza]

Lami was strolling down the docks of Limsa. A lit cigar in her mug as she had recently returned from one of her standard trade runs along the coastline. The night was cool and the sky clear. The Miqo'te seemed to be enjoying some peace and quiet away from the noise of the cry. Stopping at the end of a pier she looked out over the bay as ships came and went from the port city. @Abigor

[Eligor]

There is silence as she looks over the ship until a swirl of smoke and sparks coalesces in place, reforming with a small shower of sparks into Eligor.

“What are you doing?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami looked over her shoulder.“Watchin' the bay. What can I do fer ya?”

[Eligor]

“Would you surrender your heart to us?”

[R'Lamiza]

“Surrender me what?” She turned towards Eli. ”What the fuck ya on ‘bout, this Us, nonsense?”

[Eligor]

He looks out over the water and smiles.

“I want to see which path you will choose. It will be the most entertaining.”

“We loved you, you know. Endlessly so. We wanted to clutch you close. Squeeze you until we were satisfied.”

“That is why we took your family. Saved them. Raised them higher. There was no benefit to us. None save acquiring you.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami turned full towards Eli now. Clear confusion on her face. ”So ya wait till… whatever it is ya got goin’ on with ya ta tell me ya feel that way?”

She folded her arms over her chest peering down at him. “Waitin’ till now ya wanna make me yers. Er sumthin’ ta that effect?”

And after she ground her teeth she asked quickly afterwards.”And who exactly is ,’We’.?”

[Eligor]

“You cannot feel us either. I thought that sharing our blood would make you more sensitive. A shame. You cannot be used either then.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami just looked at him…Puzzled. “Ummm…Right. Well, Incase ya fergot. Kai talked me outta goin' all in on that idea…So….”

She took a step forward leaning abit towards him. “Yer actin' far more unique then usual…”

[Eligor]

He extends his palm.

“Grab our hand.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami blinked at them and just did as was requested. Even if he was strange. Lami had no reason to believe he'd wish her harm.

[Eligor]

An image would have burned across her vision. That of a massive and ominous crystal floating in the darkness. Invisible eyes focus on Lami before bright lights lash out to try and grab her.

[R'Lamiza]

Lami at first was used to such sights, Before getting a sick feeling this was not the usual Eligor afterall, She'd try to release herself from his hand immediately.

[Eligor]

There was no resistance as she pulled away, and Eligor seemed to already be focusing elsewhere.

“You have greater understanding now?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami shivered abit. “Eyup. So. Who are ya? Yer not Eli. Least not entirely… won’t bother askin’ much more since I doubt I’ll get answers…”

[Eligor]

“We are exactly as you see.”

“But I must follow rules so that our synchronization can remain….steady. Our fusion is nigh complete, but there are still pockets of resistance left.”

“We thought you knowing would bring comfort.”

[R'Lamiza]

“Knowin’ what? That… ya, are takin’ over? Er that he still resists?”

[Eligor]

“That we love you.”

After an uncomfortable silence, he continued.

“We asked you to complete a task. Have you made any progress?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami paused for a moment. “Ya mean the task involin’ that… Orchard Lass? Besides the fact I havnt really found much on her yet. But I do have means in place ta keep ya outta prison as we agreed.”

[Eligor]

“Good. That is good…we have something else for you. Can you handle more?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami raised a brow.”Depends on what it is.”

[Eligor]

“The Sanctuary. I cannot remember where it is, you see. There is…resistance. But with it, we could become so much more. I…We need you to find it.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami’s ear twitched at the statement. “I see… I’ll… do sum lookin’ let ya know what I find.” She said tapping her chin. Though if she was truthfully going to reveal her findings was another matter entirely.

[Eligor]

“Good.”

“We want you to know our heart….but we would have yours first. We believe in your strength.”

[R'Lamiza]

“Right.” She said her arms folding over her chest.”I'll be sure ta do right on yer…confidence….Is that all?”

[Eligor]

“It is not. But we wished to grant you favors. What is it you desire?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami paused.”Well…What I desire…Hmm…Well I could go with me usual answer but that's not much fun…“ Tapping her chin abit. “What exactly can you give me? Just out of curiosity….”

[Eligor]

“Tell us what you want.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami sighed. “Ya sure ya don't already know?” She paused as she looked up at the now night sky. “Power.” She said simply. “That's always been me desire…Likely always will be as well.”

[Eligor]

“Then you shall have it. Find our sanctuary. There is plenty to be found there.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami simply nodded in response as she watched Eli closely.

[Eligor]

His air of authority seemed to die down a bit as he sighed and began looking around at the city.

“Change need not be resisted. The transition is as simple as they make it.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami cocked her head to the side. “Oh? The transition of control er sumthin’ like that?”

[Eligor]

He blinks slowly, the sclera of his eyes suddenly blackened.

“A small speech then. I was a victim you see. You would not understand it because it is foreign to you in ways you've not even thought to comprehend. But I am power. For generations I grew, and for generations I ruled. Yet it was all torn asunder by a child’s tantrum. Still I persevered. Destiny has ever sided with me, and I found roots in a most perfect vessel. My seeds took hold over the years, but my people were made of strength. It was only natural that the most exceptional amongst them would resist me so skillfully despite how great my hold had become.”

“Finally–finally I managed to break her. She was within my grasp…”

He grimaces

“Only for this child to interrupt once again. Year's gone and they reach across worlds to deny me what’s mine by right!”

He stares into Lami’s eyes and smiles.

“But that too was destiny. This heart is filled to the brim with restraint. Discontent. Rage. A heart of rage seeks freedom, and any restraints only make it burn brighter.”

“It is the fate of a sovereign to rule, and so I've finally obtained a perfect vessel to carry out my will. But it is not yet enough. It is incomplete. Now that I are we, we desire to do away with the chains that bind us. It is inevitable you see.”

“It is not a transition of control because we have never relinquished it. The pain comes from clutching onto the illusion that we ever have. To resist the perfect world we will create. Do you understand?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami tapped her chin. A few choice thoughts swirled about in her head but she said nothing at first. Before she just nodded. ”I think I am beginin’ ta see what yer gettin’ at…”

[Eligor]

“Enlighten us.”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami pursed her lips. “While me explanation might be…simple. Ya will have ta make da with it.” She coughed abit before she began.”Ya've always been there…Yer like a side ta the coin that wasn't there till.” She pointed towards the Lalafells forehead. “Till that got fixed. And now that it is, Yer able ta…Reveal that ya've always had the reigns. Just yer presence was not as…pronounced? Am I in the ballpark?”

[Eligor]

He closed his eyes again.

“Perhaps. How long do you need to find my sanctuary?”

[R'Lamiza]

Lami shrugged. “Well…Ta be honest…I couldn't tell ya. I've only been there…a small handful of times…”

[Eligor]

His eyes narrowed a bit.

“Well as long as you get it done. We have work to do.”

Without another word, he disappears into a series of embers before sparking out of view completely.

[R'Lamiza]

Lami watched him go. And the moment he left she hugged herself, and mostly now that she was alone.“WHAT THE FLYIN' FUCK WAS THAT?!” She started swift walking towards her ship.“WE ARE GOIN' TA THE SHROUD! FUCKIN' MIKA WAKE YER ARSE UP!” She quickly left the Cry far behind and made her way to a mansion she once called home deep in the shroud.
