November Adventure: It's Easier to Bury

[lifeaftr_mods]

NEW ISLAND: MAATI

Who: Everyone!
What: Maati appears, and a new adventure begins
When: November 10th and onward
Where: Maati
Warnings: Tag as you go!

I Pray for the Ground to Swallow Me Whole
As of November 10th, the mana pools on Ensō and its islets will now allow for travel to the new island of Maati.

Travelers will arrive on a mana pool situated on the E5 square, within the temple of the avatar that dwells here. Their temple is a sturdy thing, built into and around the chestnut trees that thread deeply into its very construction. The symbol of the eagle can be found nearly everywhere one looks.

Three guesses as to what shape the avatar of this land assumes.

What you do will be your choice, and under your own power. I cannot offer a preference.

[That's a strange way of putting it, isn't it? Cannot. Maybe that has more to do with their sense of neutrality.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Something about the phrasing nags at her...]

Ah... pardon, but if I might ask for clarification- will not or cannot?

[thankgods]

What sort of justice would I be, if I were to put forth clear biases from the very beginning?

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Ah, just like the Storyteller: a response that in no way actually answers her previous question, but does raise several new ones.]

Is it possible for any of us to have an entirely unbiased viewpoint? Even if we try our best to avoid one, all the experiences we have had in the past will give us different ways of thinking about an issue. That's only natural.

[thankgods]

What is possible for a mortal is not the same as what is possible for a deity.

[Which neither confirms nor denies the existence of previous biases, actually.]

[prettypurpleparlor]

Is such a thing possible for you, then?

[thankgods]

In my earlier days, I think it might have been. When I was still unshaped by what was to come. Our lives shape us, as does everything.

Now, I can only endeavor to be as true to that essence as possible.

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Muffet nods respectfully, acknowledging the answer.]

I would call that a worthy goal to strive for, if that matters.

[thankgods]

[The deity lowers their beak in a mirror of Muffet's action.]

It is generous of you to say so.
