Work

[ Dyvvrach ]

My chimeling Tau leaves Chavvah, leaves me. It is her choice.

Her transit-psyche manifests at the bottom of Taproot, where we cannot consciously go. To finish the ritual of -elseing, to let Tau become -else, I need a traveler such as you, =name=.

Work2

[ Dyvvrach ]

Take Tau's chime, silent and still. Carry it to the bottom of Taproot, deep under my trunk, where she will make the chime her transit-body and walk away forever. Finish the ritual of -elseing.

At the bottom of Taproot, Tau manifests. She tells us, too, that another waits for her there.

1) I will do as you ask.	Gives the crystal key. [Accept Quest:If, Then, Else]
2) I have more to ask, first.

So you have, and what proceeds, proceeds.

Name

[ Dyvvrach ]

A sophist of the Self spilled ink and called me, long ago, the Tree of Life. To me, I am the many Selves pinched up my taproot from the permeating Soft.

I am Chavvah, and I am dyvvrach.

ManySelves

[ Dyvvrach ]

As Chavvah I am many. As dyvvrach I am one. I am one and many. One-selves have called me tree city, the sentient place. You may think of the Selves this way, sprouted in keter from Twofirm.

1) Twofirm?

Physiology

[ Dyvvrach ]

Deep under earth and permeating our roots is Soft, our feeling substance. Ground pressure pushes it up the taproot to our trunk, where it condenses into Twofirm: the biformal phase that contains the two sefirots, -then and -else.

1) *continue listening*

Physiology2

[ Dyvvrach ]

This is the genesis my distinct Self, an awareness that contains both -then, what I will become, and -else, what I will not. Twofirm flows up my sapwood to the keter, where -then manifests as an entity and I chime: I speak and hear the world.

1) What is this place?
2) Who are you?
3) The entity I spoke with at Eyn Roj mentioned a chiming rock...	Only available if the player is attuned to the roaming keter of Chavvah and hasn't accepted If, Then, Else and hasn't completed If, Then, Else
4) Explain once more what I must do with Tau's chime.	Only available if the player has accepted If, Then, Else and hasn't reunited Tau with her chime
5) I've reunited Tau with her chime.	Only available if If, Then, Else is active and the player has reunited Tau with her chime
6) I've destroyed the chime, Dyvvrach.	Only available if If, Then, Else is active and the player has gone to the bottom of Taproot and the still crystal chime was destroyed rather than given to Tau
7) I have completed the ritual of -elseing. Will you power Barathrum's starclimb, as you said?	Only available if the player has accepted The Golem and has completed If, Then, Else and has learned of the gyredream
8) I come in the name of need. Barathrum asks the strength of your psyche to power our starclimb.	Only available if the player has accepted The Golem
9) Live and drink.	[End]

BarathrumChavvahDone2

[ Dyvvrach ]

You have completed the ritual of -elseing. You have set bright Tau free.

Yes, =name=. I will turn my chimes Spindleward to tune, then vibrate at our verve frequency. I will power your starclimb.

Be vested to tell whoever you must that Chavvah has made this commitment.

1) Thank you, Dyvvrach. Live and drink.

Barathrum

[ Dyvvrach ]

I start at this but Tikva settles me. I remember now: from a cub I've known Barathrum to be weak in telling but bold in asking. A starclimb? You mean, an ascent to the long chiming rock?

1) Barathrum intends to ascend the Spindle to discover the source of the Signal, yes. He needs a power source for the climber, one shielded from electromagnetic disturbance.

Ascent

[ Dyvvrach ]

oh. This. Was this felt in gyredream? Your coming to keter? I ask, do not answer.

1) What is gyredream?

Gyredream

[ Dyvvrach ]

A future shock. My chimeling _ is vision-gifted, a lichen who clings to shorerock on the straits of Tomorrow. Just a short time ago a sea wave crested and broke beneath her, and she saw in its recession all the bright and violent channel paths.

We all felt it. A recoming, and the gyre in final tension. I felt...

1) *continue listening*

GyredreamMore

[ Dyvvrach ]

It was too much for my chimeling Tau. She gasped for air and her chime stilled. She leaves us now, to become -else. It is her choice.

1) I am sorry. But will you help Barathrum do as he asks?	Only available if the player hasn't completed If, Then, Else
2) I am sorry. But will you help Barathrum do as he asks?	Only available if the player has completed If, Then, Else

WillYouHelp

[ Dyvvrach ]

*Dyvvrach chimes*

1) ...

WillYouHelp2

[ Dyvvrach ]

I will power his starclimb. If you take Tau's chime to taproot, for her to walk away. If you finish the ritual of -elseing.

1) The ritual of -elseing?	Only available if the player hasn't accepted If, Then, Else
2) I see.

Landing Pads

SlynthRequest

[ Dyvvrach ]

Again I must be calmed, but the startling gives way to a curiosity. You speak of the glowfolk, belimbed and free. You would have them join us, like our Sant?

SlynthRequestAccept

[ Dyvvrach ]

We find no precedent for this, yet is there space upon our crystal arms and an openness within us. It is agreed: if these slynth will be of us, we will have them here.

1) You all have my thanks.

SlynthRequestReject

[ Dyvvrach ]

I startle, and the roiling is felt before the calm. I cannot find a consensus for the housing of these beings, =name=. I am sorry.

SlynthAbout

[ Dyvvrach ]

We await the decision of the glowfolk. Our imaginations run with the possibilities.

SlynthArrived

[ Dyvvrach ]

How this keter rustles! The slynth are among us and we adapt, our impressions a melange of excitement, apprehension, and wonder.

Though I have no single sentiment to express, we nonetheless approach -then with our new companions.

1) My thanks, dyvvrach.

SlynthSettled

[ Dyvvrach ]

You are well-found, =name=. Though several have chosen their -else, the first of the slynth have joined to us like our Sant, mobile and apart but shared and together. This is a strange -then, but what branches may spill forth from it? I anticipate the witnessing.

1) Live and drink together, Chavvah.
