The log will be split into two entries to keep the size manageable. In this thread is the Stage, Wallflowers and King & Queen ceremony!

---

Because he can't stop himself from making a movie reference, the theme of this year's Prom is "Enchantment Under the Sea". (Don't get too freaked out, Marty McFly.) Equipment has been moved out, seating has been set near tables and walls, and a makeshift stage has been constructed to host the DJing equipment. Quinn has music up until 2010, so a large variety of music will get played. There's plenty of food and drinks - including spiked, and very-much-not-spiked punch (magically protected, thanks to Ilsa). In a corner is a small set up for people who wish to get their photos taken by Tsukasa.

The party is under way - have yourselves a good time, Mayfield!

True, but does she explain to you the innermost workings of how the universes function and keep from destroying each other, or merely use you as an errand boy?

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"..."

[It is looking like the latter.]

[elevatoravatar]

There is no shame in the later, just, explaining things that work on levels above Gods is hard with.... No context to work from.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade arches his brow.]
"So... You understand these things?"

[elevatoravatar]

I do, for I was created to help my master in mediating some of the disputes these Gods had over the various realms.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"That sounds very interesting. But, does that mean you have no freedom?"

[elevatoravatar]

Does freedom even exist?

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade, being a champion of the goddess of freedom, is especially taken back by that question.]

"What!? Of course it does!"

[elevatoravatar]

Humans are born, they are given parents that give them training and genes, but they have a role to play, they play that role, they die. In the end that is the way the universe works. In the end that's why I left my position.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Except for Cade, whose goddess charged him with helping people break free of their roles. But I guess that means she gave him a role. He could always break from his role, but then others would still have their roles and... Oh dear, I've gone cross eyed.]

"I think... There's more to it than that.
...But you left your position?"

[elevatoravatar]

I did. I left to save a soul from its fate. Though, given that the master accepted my resignation, I perhaps am merely doing as the universe wants. That being said, if one were to ponder such things one would never accomplish anything.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade looks very interested in this.]

"That sounds like a fascinating story. Why did you leave to help this soul?

...was it love?"

[elevatoravatar]

[She tilts her head and blinks]

Why else would I?

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade looks very excited.]

"I knew it! What was his name? How did he come to your attention? What made you fall in love? What happened after you quit for him? Or was it a she? I guess I shouldn't assume.
Oh I love a good love story!"

[elevatoravatar]

...He has passed on to the next world, it is inconsequential.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade looks down at the floor.]

"Oh. I'm sorry."

[elevatoravatar]

Master says it was his destiny. I myself am looking at ways of altering that however, that is the realm where Gods fear to step so it is.... Frustrating.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Are you looking at ways of altering his fate, or fate in general?"

[I mean, if the guy is dead, it seems like it might be a bit late to change his fate.]

[elevatoravatar]

Freeing his soul from an eternity of bondage. Where the soul exists things can happen, but without....

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"An eternity of bondage?..."

[Cade looks a bit perplexed.]

[elevatoravatar]

It is a complex thing and out of the purview of humanity.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

"Oh, I see..."

[elevatoravatar]

Well... Most humans. He did wield Orphius and that may have been an omen.

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[Cade cocks an eyebrow.]

"Orphius?"

[elevatoravatar]

A tale, a myth, of a hero of long ago.
