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?

[awkwardbureaucrat]

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

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

[icyconformist.livejournal.com]

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

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

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.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Know anyone that can help make it?

[awkwardbureaucrat]

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

[kongeriget]

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 have spare time if you need extra help.

...

[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]

Well you have names, at least.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, what's a few hundred names?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I'd definitely like that. I'll keep everyone posted.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I guess that all depends on how it turns out. But yeah, I definitely need help. I'm not much of a sculptor.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Carved into stone or marble.

[kongeriget]

Are ya kidding me? It doesn't mean shit. It's a waste of time. Use the labor to build apartment buildings instead.

[mizu-isei.livejournal.com]

...I don't know that I am either. I wish it could be more like a room, or a museum. It's up to you though. I'll try to help either way.

[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?

[loyal_cube]

I understand but ... I would be worried about pranks and damage to the memorial.

I love the idea, though. I know quite a few names I'd have carved upon it.

[rules_the_north]

Two times th' same name, th'n.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I think that's a bit excessive...
