-The figure opens his eyes which seem to flicker like light in a prism before weakly nodding. His lower body has become crystal as he calmly begins to speak.-
Cyrus: Greetings those from the world below. I was...hoping one day that some would eventually find this place. ...Tell me, what drove you...to come this far?
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Cyrus: Simple human curiosity and a thirst for adventure...it's been nearly several centuries since I was like you few, thinking I could do whatever I set my mind to. -nods sagely- But I suppose you're not here to listen to a ramblings of a relic, but rather learn about this place? Or perhaps you're after some sort of material gain...?
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Cyrus: Then I will see to it that you do not leave empty handed. You all must've come quite a way and braved considerable perils to come this far. -he pauses for a moment- As for how we came to be here...this world above seemed to be already here...crystal formations in the clouds expanded above and we carved out our homes here, with our livestock and crops able to exist even in this environment. Of course...it wasn't all that easy.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Cyrus: -nods- Over time, just like in the world below, our bodies gradually adapted and changed to match the environment. In this case, the form of crystals before ascending into the canvas above and becoming stars in the night sky. As a result, we tend to have life-spans amounting to hundreds of years and we rarely need to consume food or water to survive.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Cryus: -nods- Indeed. So we never bothered returning to the world below and remained here. Perhaps someday some of us may return. -gives a small smile and closes his eyes- But for now, I shall rest and let you go back to what you wish. If treasure you seek, then please, by all means take what you wish from the vaults. Theodor will show you the way. -nods at the middle-aged man before peacefully returning to slumber-
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Cyan: I dunno, but that guy's offer for us to take stuff from the vaults...I just kinda feel wrong, sort of...taking stuff from these really nice folk who've more or less been all alone for so long...
It's silly, I know, it's just kinda got me not-sure-if-I-should-take-him-up-on-his-offer-or-not. :/
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Theodor: -politely interrupts with sign-language- You saw our marketplace and our way of life, correct...? Here, we have no need of wealth as we generously give and receive. What we have is enough and we still have some to show the future generations of what our life was before.
Wren: ...To be honest, I'm just tagging along... ._.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

-Kris bows to the new person.-
And it's so easy when you're evil... This is the life for me, the Devil tips his hat to me...
