[aslandish]

Life is balance.

From the deepest darkness, a world of light was brought forth -- sometimes with words, at other times with song -- and since that moment, the forces of both Light and Darkness have clashed in various times and places.

In the midst of such trials, there are times we lose sight of that which is most precious.

I would encourage you all to cleave to that which you hold dear and remember the purpose for which you stand.

[Action]

[ Disturbed as he rarely is, Aslan wanders the decaying streets, clearing particularly infested areas of the creatures that roam the Darkness. His inner light repels the city's miasma, a golden beacon that illuminates the night.

Any who dare to venture out into the Darkness are welcome to join him at any time. ]


[ooc: Permissions post is here! As always, anyone with the ability to sense who and what he is, feel free to do so! Also, for those of you who want to run into Aslan, just list the Sector and general time in the subject line! ]

Is this the point where I tell you I don't and you give a rousing speech about how in every darkness there is a candlelight or something of the like?

[ There's a smile in his voice when he answers. ]

Would you believe me if I did?

[freeholding]

There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, so forgive me but no.

[aslandish]

Belief influences perception.

What is true to one may not be true to another.

I have yet to see a day so dark that light could not penetrate its folds.

[John snorts.] And then the Grinch's heart grew three sizes that day. [Dresden has been a bad influence on John, clearly.]

Your kindness is appreciated, sir, but no sell.

[aslandish]

It has been known to happen.

[ As expected. ]

One cannot hope to sell if another does not wish to buy.

What can I say, I'm a cautious businessman and this isn't exactly a growth market.

[aslandish]

Perhaps, another day.
