This article has information that is missing or not up to par.
Reason: May need to be ordered properly, also needs TODOs filled in

Standard

Welcome

[ Tzedech ]

Who thumps my crystal arms, and kicksofts me at windfall? I feel you here, friend.

1) I am =name=. Who are you?
2) You... feel me?
3) Did you experience the gyredream? Only available if the player has learned of the gyredream
4) I am to carry Tau's chime to Taproot, so she can leave Chavvah. Only available if If, Then, Else is active
5) Live and drink. [End]


Name

[ Tzedech ]

*Thicksalt chimes a single, outstretched tone.*

The naming act is imponderable. So Tau called me Thicksalt, one brickword in a towerful poem whose everyshape I forget, but whose flushing of Soft in afterfeel I am in allway.

1) I am =name=. Who are you?
2) You... feel me?
3) Did you experience the gyredream? Only available if the player has learned of the gyredream
4) I am to carry Tau's chime to Taproot, so she can leave Chavvah. Only available if If, Then, Else is active
5) Live and drink. [End]


Feel

[ Tzedech ]

*Thicksalt chimes in bright tones.*

All presence is gesture, and all gesture is felt. Bat the air with your wildlimbs, press on the hardflats of my crystal arms... I feel it.

You must feel it, too. Or are you touchlost? When Dyvvrach is touchlost, when Dyvvrach speaks the millionth word and forgets all speech is gesture, a cord flicked somewhere. Then I feel the bending rush of grass on my crystal fingers, and Dyvvrach is touchkept again.

1) I am =name=. Who are you?
2) You... feel me?
3) Did you experience the gyredream? Only available if the player has learned of the gyredream
4) I am to carry Tau's chime to Taproot, so she can leave Chavvah. Only available if If, Then, Else is active
5) Live and drink. [End]


Gyredream

[ Tzedech ]

*Thicksalt chimes in sharpened tones, then stills.*

You thump my crystal arms, you kicksoft me at windfall. Our feltdream did not end. I feel you here, now.

Before, when Soft flushed so suddenly, I felt the stones of war smash against my western roots, and the kicksoft of air unthicken into stillness. In the quiet black, I felt the so-hot burning of star exhaust and thrum of roaring vessel. Then.. too much was felt. Threadcount too high for my edgesense.

1) *continue listening*


Gyredream2

[ Tzedech ]

...


*Thicksalt chimes in gentle tones.*

1) ...


TauChime

[ Tzedech ]

*Thicksalt chimes in soft and rhythmic tones.*

I stir now, windwept.

Safesight at your passage, =name=. Thump my crystal arms, hardlift and backbear the chime of bright Tau. The downroot will tickle, but I am blessed in allway.

1) I am =name=. Who are you?
2) You... feel me?
3) Did you experience the gyredream? Only available if the player has learned of the gyredream

[ Tzedech ]

Can you feel the stillness? The drycrackle of space between as you thump my crystal arms.

Life flees you. Motion flees you.

Companion2

[ Tzedech ]

*the chime is hard to distinguish from the rising cacophony.*

Crungled allway. Soft reaches through the bounds of everyshape and afflicts us with fireless hotbark. It resonates through Tau's cavernous absence. Arid tearsalt dries between the Lovers.

1) I have questions.
2) Live and drink. [End]


Else2

[ Tzedech ]

*the chime is hard to distinguish from the rising cacophony.*

Crungled allway. Soft reaches through the bounds of everyshape and afflicts us with fireless hotbark. It resonates through Tau's cavernous absence. Touchloss blooms, each facet trembling for shearpull.

1) I have questions.
2) Live and drink. [End]
