Omega19x: Mahaado is still completely unresponsive. To the doctors, no progress has been made.
ph33r my rod: *though it's quite different to those who have been inside his mind, lolz*
Omega19x: *enter teh mind?*
ph33r my rod: *indeed*
Omega19x: The magician has been very busy. With Mana's help, he made considerable progress on the second level. The wall is noticably higher. He sifts through piles of stones, looking for what might come next.
ph33r my rod: *pops in and looks up at the wall-thing* "...you've made a lot of progress here, Mahaado."
Omega19x: "Oh. Good priestess." he was startled by the entrance, as he has been by everyone's. "Thank you. I have worked very hard. Though I could not have made it this far without the help of my friends."
ph33r my rod: "It's really only a matter of time now before everything's finished, right? Because the higher it gets, the more power you regain, and the easier it gets to build..."
Omega19x: "I do hope that is true." he smiled.
ph33r my rod: "I don't see why it wouldn't be." *smiles as well* "It's logical, really."
Omega19x: "Priestess, may I ask a strange question?"
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "Go ahead..."
Omega19x: "You all use the sennen ankh to speak with me, but..." he pause, unsure of how to word this. "Do I hve anything to return to? My physical body. Is it alive? Or am I dead?"
ph33r my rod: "Oh..." *nods* "Yes, your body is still alive. The doctors have said that you're in a coma... your body is still healthy, but you've had very little mental activity, according to them."
Omega19x: "Friend Honda said that it had been three weeks since the mind crush." Mahaado added, quite perplexed. "How is it that my physical form is still alive?"
ph33r my rod: "The doctors have been able to keep it alive. Medical procedures today are much more advanced than they were back in your time... really, it's almost as if you're just asleep, or in a deep vegetative state."
Omega19x: "Occasionally, the healers would seek our audience, that we should ask the gods to intervene on those who could not be roused, yet who were not dead... Sometimes they awakened. Sometimes they died. But it was answered in a matter of days, not weeks." he nodded. "Truly the healers here are great."
Omega19x: "But it seems they know nothing of the soul."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "They said there was only a small chance of you waking up, and that it could be months before you do. But they don't know what's going on in here, and I doubt they would believe us if we told them."
Omega19x: "It is probably best that they do not know. Lest they inadvertantly cause harm in the desire to do good." he added. "A lesson I need to be reminded of..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Right..."
Omega19x: "If it truly has been weeks... Priestess, have you been by the potion shop? Have I been stripped of my duties there?"
ph33r my rod: "No, I've explained to your manager that you're ah... unable to work, and will be for an indeterminable amount of time, and he's got somebody taking your place until you're able to work again."
Omega19x: "Thank you, Isis. For that."
ph33r my rod: *blinks at not being called 'priestess' like usual, but smiles* "It wasn't a problem. He was very understanding of the situation."
Omega19x: "I regret that his order of freshly prepared habu sake will not arrive on time. It would have made a good addition to the herbal tinctures I typically prepare."
Omega19x: "I pray to Thoth that I may still be able to resume my duties... and my life."
ph33r my rod: "...I think you'll be able to eventually, as long as you keep working in here and letting us help."
Omega19x: "I shall continue rebuilding my soul and my mind."
Omega19x: (pst, Haga wants to come visit us and collect his spider.)
Omega19x: (I'll make another room.)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay~ ))
Omega19x: "At the top of this level, I have made a discovery." he noted. "There is a notch in the top of this carved memory stone, and in another of the same height. This must be where the first crystal disc was set."
Omega19x: "Energy passed through those discs, intensifying when necessary. It was how my heka was channeled, you might say, in the event of a difficult battle."
ph33r my rod: "...oh." *not entirely sure she understands, but okay*
Omega19x: "It would allow me to recharge." the magician attempted to explain. "To refocus my mind"
ph33r my rod: "Oh, I see now." *nods in understanding*
Omega19x: "Should Ma'at be generous, perhaps if I can reconstruct the first disc, I may be able to at least regain a little heka."
Omega19x: "At least, I would like to sense when I have visitors." he admitted. "It feels like I have have become blind, in a sense."
ph33r my rod: *nod* "It still kind of surprises you when people come in, right?"
Omega19x: "Very much so. I am not accustomed to so many people entering this sanctuary." he nodded. "Well, what is left of it."
ph33r my rod: "I don't blame you... I'd be a little startled, too."
Omega19x: "Please, good priestess. Pray to Ma'at for mercy. I ask not for absolvement, simply for her forgiveness."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "I will."
Omega19x: "I appreciate that very much." he smiled.
Omega19x: "Oh," he suddenly remembered. "The owner of my living quarters, I believe he is called a 'landlord', could you see to it that he receives his fee? There is money there. That I obtained from my duties."
ph33r my rod: "Alright, I'll take care of that."
Omega19x: *he gave Isis a simple spell that opens the box where he keeps such things.* "If you have difficulty, ask Mana for assistance."
Omega19x: "Your era has so many things that must be taken care of."
Omega19x: (ooh, food)
ph33r my rod: (( XD ))
Omega19x is away at 6:26:47 PM.
Omega19x returned at 7:13:20 PM.
Omega19x: (back)
ph33r my rod: (( WB~ ))
Omega19x: (ooh, Ryou has been called to Yami Bakura's apartment!)
ph33r my rod: (( :o! ))
Omega19x: (Bakura is complaining of having a few problems since he became alive again.)
ph33r my rod: (( Eep. ))
Omega19x: (more details to follow!)
Omega19x: (lol)
ph33r my rod: (( More at nine! *hit* ))
Omega19x: (in the meantime, shall we continue?)
Omega19x: (and that's exactly what I was thinking.)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeah~ :X ))
Omega19x: Having said most of what he felt necessary, Mahaado resumed picking up stones and testing them on the growing wall. In some places, he could barely reach, having to balance percariously on other stones or small cracks in the wall.
ph33r my rod: "...do you need any help?"
Omega19x: "I would be grateful for any assistance, priestess." he answered. "Perhaps it would be easier to assist you in reaching the higher places."
Omega19x: He looks at the stone in his hand, pretty certain that it would sit on top of the one that is just out of his reach.
ph33r my rod: *nod* "I'll help however I can."
Omega19x: The magician wondered if he did have the strength to lift the priestess high enough to place the stone up there.
ph33r my rod: (( Isis is pretty tiny. XD ))
Omega19x: (but this ka isn't quite at his full strength...)
Omega19x: He hands Isis the stone, and prepares to lift her up so she can place it where it belongs.
ph33r my rod: *takes the stone and steps closer to him* "Um, do you have the strength to boost me up? I don't want you to strain yourself..."
Omega19x: "I think that I am strong enough to do so." he answered. "But we shall soon find out."
ph33r my rod: "...okay."
Omega19x: He places his hands at her waist. "On three." he adds. "One... two... three!"
ph33r my rod: *up?*
Omega19x: The magician manages to lift Isis!
ph33r my rod: *places the stone where it goes* "There..."
Omega19x: Which is good, because he cannot hold her there for long, and eventually looses his grip.
ph33r my rod: *eep!*
Omega19x: The magician gasps, managing to catch the good priestess roughly in his arms. "My apologies! I should have climbed the wall..."
ph33r my rod: "... Are you alright?"
Omega19x: "Are you?"
ph33r my rod: *nods*
Omega19x: "Perhaps that was not as good an idea as I had anticipated."
ph33r my rod: "...maybe not. But do be careful if you try to climb the wall... you wouldn't want to fall off."
Omega19x: "I will be careful. And there are some stones that are well within reach for now." he looks up at the wall. "Though, it will only be more climbing from here on up."
Omega19x: Without magic, it's the only way he can put stones on the wall.
ph33r my rod: "...oh dear."
Omega19x: He looks at a few more of the stones, trying them out on some of the open spots. None of them match.
Omega19x: But he finds one with the notches on the bottom that just might fit next to the one Isis put up.
Omega19x: "I will take care of this one."
ph33r my rod: "...alright. Be careful."
Omega19x: The magician reaches up, managing to grab on to part of the wall, and find a little bit of footing.
Omega19x: He places the stone up there, but sadly, it doesn't fit, although from the ground, it looked like it did.
Omega19x: At that point, the magician did lose his footing, crashing back down from the wall, which thankfully, was only about seven feet high in its highest places.
ph33r my rod: *eep!* "Are you okay?"
Omega19x: The magician slowly shook off the fall. "I believe so..."
Omega19x: He weakly stood up. "This may prove more difficult than I had previously considered."
ph33r my rod: "Um... hmm." *looks up at the wall*
Omega19x: "Do not concern yourself with it, good priestess." he bowed. "I will finish this task without endangering you."
ph33r my rod: "...are you sure? If there's any possible way for me to help, I want to..."
Omega19x: (and I would like to try to get some armor pieces sewn on before I get ready for bed... so...)
Omega19x: "Please, see to it that I have a life to come back to." he smiled. "I do not wish to burden you, good priestess. But you may know how to fix things that I cannot."
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods* "Alright."
Omega19x: "Thank you."
Omega19x: And the magician resumes sorting through stones, while Isis leaves the soul room again.
Omega19x: (night!)
ph33r my rod: (( Night~ ))
Omega19x: (off to sew)
Omega19x signed off at 8:46:53 PM.
