*As the mists cleared, Morgaine stepped onto a street paved with stones and looked around with amazement.* Good Goddess, where have I ended up? *Steeling herself, she walked with slow and stately bearing into the foyer of the building close by--the Opera. She peered at the oppulent surroundings, marvelling at the architecture.* I've seen some strange things in my time...but this...

*Sebastian walked into the Foyer and eyed Morgaine carefully.*

*The hair rose on Morgaine's neck and she turned her head slowly to meet the eyes of a young man. She gazed at him for a moment before ascertaining that he was no threat to her, if a little strange.* I've seen stranger... "How now, Shape-shifter?" *she greeted him.* "What is this place?"
((Just so you know, I'll be talking more Shakespearean-like than anything else, because it's been a few years since I read the book and this is the easiest kind of archaic speech I can slip into.))

((Shakespear = love, so no biggie))
*Sebastian bowed out of respect and smiled charmingly.*
"Paris, milady, a couple of century's after Lord Arthur's death."

*Morgaine felt a twinge of pain at the mention of her brother, her lover, Arthur, but she brushed it aside after a moment.* "The continent? Beyond the Briton Isles, then?"

"Yes, we are in France. But milady, how did you get here? And why are you unguarded? ((is that a word?))"
*Sebastian glanced over his shoulder and eyed the people in the Foyer briefly before turning back to the priestess of the Goddess.*

"I know not how I came here, but I must trust that it is the will of the Goddess." *she drew herself up as tall as she could, and despite her slight stature, she managed to look rather regal and imposing all at once.* "And I need no guard, Sir. I have the protection of the mother Goddess."

*Sebastian chuckled and a smile light up his face.*
"Yes milady, the power of the Goddess may very well protect you, but I would keep in mind that in this world some are blessed by other deities. The New God and even The Oldest of Evils." ((*snickers* Man that sounded corny.))

*Morgaine peered solemnly at the boy and smiled slightly, but only slightly.* "The gods do not change, are neither old nor new. All that changes is our perception of them. The only conflict is between mortals and nothing more."

((Is Sueniverse one of those crazy places with a deity for everything?
Like, I dunno, the god of Polite Conversation.))

((Like...Hinduism? Where Brahman is in everything, and thus everything is a god? Even rocks and things?))

((It's a cool story. I'm a character in it. And I'm evil. Only everyone thinks I'm really good. Only I'm really evil and really good at being really evil, only it's because I'm more than a little messed up so I'm really good that's been turned kinda evil and doesn't care about good or evil anymore. Anyhow, I'm out for revenge and just got my ear blown off by a rightly suspicious dude who everyone is now jumping on for trying to shoot me in the head and missing by luck.))
