DEXCON 15 takes place July 4 - 8, 2012 at the Morristown Hyatt and Conference Center in Morristown, New Jersey.
“Actually” AElf states as Amanda leaves “This is the most civil time we ever had together. There is this uncanny knack between us to irritate the other to no end. Her uppity I’m better then thou jediness along with always inferring that everything I do is somehow wrong is infuriating. Of course all my quirks piss her off to no end so I guess that’s a form of balance.”
The lightfoot heads down the incline and opened the entrance to her home, inviting her friend in. As the two come in to the common room a dryad is setting a tea set, similar to an oriental style on the low table surrounded by couches on one side and floor pillows on the other.“Thank you Sequoia” the dryad stand gives a stiff formal bow before melding into the tree resting above the home. The elf sighs and waves Val over to the waiting tea. “Help yourself I’ll go get the things”
ooc: sorry for the long reply time - our grandfather died last week
The elf returns holding in both hands a box that is about the size of a deck of cards, made of tight grained blue wood covered with ornately scribed writing of some kind. When she sets the box down on the table it makes a soft thud as if the box were heavier that what its size would suggest.“Amanda said she thought it is carved from Life Pine Heartwood, what ever that is. And it shocked me slightly when I unwrapped it. There is a crystal key and a chain in it along with more of that writing which I can’t read.”
AElf frowns a little in thought, “Why would it do that? Be gibberish? Isn’t script suppose to be read?” The elf sighs as she settles down next to Val among the pillows
A serious silence falls over the lightfoot for a moment before she breaks it “Val can you promise me something? Can you look after my lands? Make sure no more Otter Clones are put in here or other intruders that would dispute the inhabitants?” Somber blue eyes looks straight into the Lilith’s “I’m going to go away again…” she places a hand on her chest above her heart “…I can feel it… I want to make sure those under my protection will truly be safe, since the defenses in place do not seem to have been enough….”
“And here I thought you could do anything.” The lightfoot replied with a twist of a smile and a hint of humor. AElf's hand turns so that she could hold Val’s “I’m glad you are here Val. I really missed you” She leans against the other woman, with a soft sigh “I don’t want to go away again I just came back…”
AElf smiles softly at the kiss and the fingers of her free hand tenderly brush the escape lock of hair back behind the lilith’s ear.
“I’m still going to have to find a way to ‘otter proof ’ my territory. Like I said before nothing should have gotten through the barrier but somehow they managed it.” The elf puffs out a thoughtful sigh. “I wonder if I could convince the Chaos wolf to guard the place… Chaos chaotically combating chaos could cancel chaos…” a half giggle and a wiry grin touches her lips. “Think I could persuade the Chaos wolf to eat a cookie right in front of Crafty? That could have an interesting reaction
"Shall we go see if I can arrange this diabolical plan then?" the lightfoot asks with a gleam in her eyes which then fades with her next staement "I'm going to have to start saying my goodbyes, sometimes goodbyes take forever to do in the Nexus..."
"I know, I know, I'm too innocent to be evil" AElf rises as well "I suppose Proper would be the best place to start." she tilts her head slitly in thought, "You know if it's the same chaos that took over Fomac then it shouldn't be to hard, That chaos liked me."
