Mar 21 20:07:30 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 Nyota finds herself blissfully alone in her rented room. The sleeping car is a little tight, but it provides her with what she needed most. Privacy.
Mar 21 20:10:06 *	Nyota trots up to the bed and lies down on it. Her toughts are racing and she's tossing and turnign on the bed, she wanted to sleep but the day had been eventful, filled with horrors. After almost an hour she gives up, instead she sits up and starts to rummage around the things she collected from Itakaseni.. She didnt want to read the diary again, but perhaps there where answers to be had within his other b elongings...
Mar 21 20:11:17 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 His things are utilitarian, used but well cared for. The oddities being the pink diary and the tightly tied sack.
Mar 21 20:12:53 *	Nyota 's already put the diary away, his other gear too, planning to wash them up and his them for herself once she had the oppertunity. With a sigh the mare puts the sack in her lap and slowly unties the knot. Her ears drooping and her eyes filling with tears for seemingly no reason.
Mar 21 20:16:13 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 the knot surrenders after a short struggle. Inside is nestled a hoof-carved flower. A stargazer lily. The wood has a nice scent, he must have taken it from one of the small fruit trees the clan managed to grow. The wood has a pinkish tint. Nestled inside the flower is a dainty emerald.
Mar 21 20:17:44 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 The flower looks to be made to be tucked behind the ear.
Mar 21 20:20:18 <Nyota>	
ACTION lets out a whimper and strokes a hoof over the flowercarving, taking in the scent. She knew this flower.. Looking down at it for a long moment, tears slowly dripping from her face down onto the bed and over the woodenflower. With a shudder she takes it and places it behind her ear, as it was suposed to be worn. Trotting off the bed and up to the rooms mirror she looks at her own reflection. Her red puffy eyes, creamdyed
Mar 21 20:21:24 <Nyota>	Her red puffy eyes, creamdyed coat and dark mane.. and the flower, resting behind her ear..
Mar 21 20:22:33 *	Nyota felt like this was wrong, back in her head she makes the mental note to get out of the disguise as soon as she can. She knew why she took it, but.. Right now she feels like she's letting her entire race down. Stroking a hoof against her ear and the flower she heads back to bed.
Mar 21 20:24:23 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 The bed is worn but comfortable. Sleep soon takes her.
Mar 21 20:26:19 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 She finds herself in pitch blackness before lights slowly solidify.
Mar 21 20:27:05 *	Nyota whispers;"Hello..?"
Mar 21 20:28:02 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 Lights coalesce beneath her, a swirling vortex of pinpoints of light. A galaxy spiraling below. To her senses, she is standing on nothingness, a moment of vertigo strikes her.
Mar 21 20:30:24 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 A familiar zebra voice sounds behind her. <You should not be here. From what I gather, this is a place for the dead.>
Mar 21 20:31:35 *	Nyota a forehoof to her chest defensively, panicking for a moment she takes a few steps back. Looking around herself. "W-what is going on!?" She speaks in zebra, obviously. At the sounding of the voice she first jumps, crouching down. Righting herself she slowly turns around.
Mar 21 20:33:14 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 The zebra stallion behind her extends a hoof, stopping her lazy rotation in space.
Mar 21 20:35:20 *	Nyota blinks at Itakaseni. She sniffs.. "Why...?" Is all she manages to say after a moment of silence.
Mar 21 20:38:08 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 <If asked, I could not lie.> He lowers his hoof. <You should not be here, you are not dead. But, then, I suppose this ability is what the clan so feared.>
Mar 21 20:40:24 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 He chuckles at the irony. <To think, the reason I had to hunt you is the reason I am able to speak with you now."
Mar 21 20:41:47 <Nyota>	"I'm not dead.. No.. What is this place? Why.. Why did you have to kill yourself?! You could have just left!" She screams in a confused anger, crying again.
Mar 21 20:44:38 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 He looks back at her sadly. <I am not sure what this place is, only that it comes after and I find myself drawn to it. I think they are souls, others spinning into what is beyond this temporary home.> He crosses to her and drapes a foreleg over her withers. She can feel his touch, but there is no warmth there. <Could I have left?>
Mar 21 20:45:53 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 <I don't think so. My destiny is written on my side.>
Mar 21 20:48:44 *	Nyota shudders from the touch at first, then leans against her old friend. Her ears droop, looking over Itakaseni.. "Your pennance stripes..?" She trails a hoof over his side.
Mar 21 20:50:50 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 <I would think fondly of you, from time to time. A stripe on my left. Then I would imagine doing my duty. A stripe on my right.>
Mar 21 20:52:38 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 <Sins of thought against myself and my clan.>
Mar 21 20:54:19 *	Nyota shakes her head slowly, looking into Itakasenis eyes. Her hoof placed onto his chest and she swallows hard. "I... I understand, you could not betray your clan.. And you could not kill me, so you took the only option you had.. Making sure I could survive in the process..." She sobbs towards the end. Shaking she cries out. "It is so wrong!"
Mar 21 20:55:19 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 He tightens his grip on her a moment. <I was given an opportunity to make a choice. and I chose you. Always."
Mar 21 20:56:02 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 The lights begin to dim, receding. His touch lightens and he begins to fade.
Mar 21 20:56:33 <Nyota>	"No.. NO! Don't leave! Please, please. Is there anything I can do?!"
Mar 21 20:59:26 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 As he fades away he speaks once more. <You can live. You can be happy. That is my want.>
Mar 21 21:00:45 *	Nyota atempts to grab onto whatever is left of Itakaseni, she's crying more now. Her anger directed towards herself and fate. "I always loved you!" Looks around herself, at the stars of the galaxy... "Save him!... Whatever you want sav-"
Mar 21 21:00:53 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 The lights all fade away, the vision of Itakaseni with them. She awakes with a start in her bed.
Mar 21 21:02:12 *	Nyota hugs the pillow in the bed, crying she curls up. "No.."
Mar 21 21:03:49 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 Laying beside her on the pillow, the glow in the flower's gem fades.
Mar 21 21:03:57 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 ***End***
Mar 21 21:05:39 <Mister_Clacky|GM>	 Nyota has communed with a Spirit of Stealth, Itakaseni. He has chosen to imbue her talisman (the wooden flower) with part of his power! The wooden flower now gives +5 to sneak and an additional +5 to sneak in poor light conditions.
