What do you mean? What is shambhala?

[totallytrustworthy]

it was a holy paradise. legendary. tales of it passed down throughout generations over and over again. supposedly contained a rare massive gemstone called the cintamani stone: wish fulfilling jewel. anything you wanted so long as you were the person possessing it

the yetis werent animals. they were humans. guardians. immortal guardians. they kept the heart of shambhalas power safe

[hyanaimne]

That sounds similar to some of the legends told in my world. Only it had ghouls and the like instead of yetis.

[totallytrustworthy]

not surprising. the tree of life seems to be something of an oddly common thing across universes

which was the truth of the cintamani stone: it was just sap from the tree of life. granted immortality but...

itd turn you into one of those things eventually. wasnt a bloody gift it was a curse

[hyanaimne]

My . . .

The tree of life exists where I am from as well. Though I do not know much about it, save for a few stories my mother told me when I was young. It is connected more to the Elves than to my kind.

[totallytrustworthy]

heres hoping yours isnt as troubling in reality versus the legends

[hyanaimne]

Don't worry, I plan to stay far away from it. I want nothing to do with that rubbish.

[totallytrustworthy]

smart girl. nice to know youre capable of drawing the line somewhere unlike most people

[hyanaimne]

I can't go near it even if I wanted to.

[totallytrustworthy]

ah. not sure if I should withdraw my highfive then

[hyanaimne]

I do not know what a highfive is? But what I mean is, I'm not supposed to. Not a full elf, etc, etc.

[totallytrustworthy]

1: so fixing that

2: well we can just buy you some prosthetic elf ears or something for when you go back

[hyanaimne]

That is quite alright. I do not want to go near it, remember?

And anyway, I cannot go back.

[totallytrustworthy]

what why not? we all go back at some point

[hyanaimne]

I died back home, right before I was dragged here.

[there is no way to put that in a way that isn't terrible. Which is why she doesn't try]

[totallytrustworthy]

ah.

[So she's like Harry in that sense. Christ. If ever there was a time to wish she hadn't just typed out what she'd sent off.]

well that sucks. sorry to hear it darling

[hyanaimne]

It is fine.

[because what else do you say to that?]

[totallytrustworthy]

well better off not dressing you up anyway

those fake bloody ears itch and I would know

[hyanaimne]

Mine are only a little smaller than theirs.

Dressed up like an elf before?

[totallytrustworthy]

once. never again

[hyanaimne]

Why?

[totallytrustworthy]

trust me darling its a good thing youve never been to a renaissance faire

[hyanaimne]

Well now I want to go to one.

[totallytrustworthy]

dirty awkward nerds and geeks as far as the eye can see. no proper toilets. and they make you spend absurd amounts of money paying for concessions that arent worth the cost

plus you just wind up either being hit on or dealing with rampant misogyny. or both

[hyanaimne]

There are a lot of words that I do not understand in that explanation.

Still want to go, though.
