Seventy Third Star

[heavenfang]

You know, this came up in a conversation with Prydain. And apparently Raphael had the same idea. But... You know, we really should pay tribute to our own memories. People that have come and gone... and people who are with us right now. We need a way to say to future generations, even after all of this is over, that "we were here".

What I'm suggesting, Discedo, and I'm sure Raphael had the same idea is... we make a memorial. And on that memorial we start putting names. Names we remember from the past, names of people here now. A standing, timeless statement that we mattered to someone else in this world. That what we've done here so far was not in vain and that... and that memory really is magic.

Who's with us?

What 'bout people th't left and c'me back and were d'fferent?

I think this counts as being here now, doesn't it? Does that really discount the memories from before? I don't think it does, personally.

[rules_the_north]

Two times th' same name, th'n.

[awkwardbureaucrat]

That is a truly honorable idea, and I support it.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Well I was more looking for people who'd help make it.

[awkwardbureaucrat]

All I can offer is record keeping, but writing names in a book isn't as lasting as stone.

If ya spend all yer time thinking about people who're gone, ya won't get anything done in the future.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

That's the point of a memorial, actually. So we can give something that ensures the memory so we don't have to spend our tomorrows thinking about it.

It'd be endleeeeeess. [ Dragged out like that. ] Tomorrow's one of my Queen's birthdays. But she's been dead centuries. There's no point.

[icyconformist.livejournal.com]

I think that's a good idea. It's important to remember the past.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Know anyone that can help make it?

[mizu-isei.livejournal.com]

Are you going to need any help making it? And...does it have to be just names? We could leave small keepsakes somewhere too.

[loyal_cube]

A memorial...

How would one add names to it, though?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Carved into stone or marble.

[nomnomguts.livejournal.com]

[...lol sentimentality. Though, that's something she expects from Tir.]

Goodness, what an idea! Still, something like that... do you expect it to last?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I never know what to expect.

[sketchysham.livejournal.com]

... ....I think it's a nice idea.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I'm glad some people do.

[bloodshedlament.livejournal.com]

I like that idea.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I thought you would...

[spectrophobic.livejournal.com]

Memories, huh...

[A small sigh. She kind of has mixed feelings about this.]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Something up, Liz?

[voice]

[twin-sai-kame.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like the idea of this.

I can help, maybe find a good sized stone or somethin'.

I'm Raphael by the way.

Tir McDohl. A pleasure to meet you, Sir Raphael.
