[Sveta's back, friends! She's on the deck, dressed as if going to a ceremony. A long white dress whispers around her ankles and her hair falls loose around her face. She looks as if she had been crying once, but has since brushed it off, revealing only a few faint splotches of red around her eyes. She sets the camera down and takes a deep breath.]

Destiny. We're all supposed to have one, yes? We're all supposed to follow it. But I never knew you could change it.

[She holds up her hands to show them. They're covered in a faint white dust which she brushes off quickly, creating a small cloud.]

Chalkdust. [She gives the camera a very serious look.] It might as well be bloodstains. [She reaches into a small purse and pulls out a cigarette, lighting it quickly. Yeah. Sveta smokes. Enjoy that.]

Fuck them. I'm not going back.

[Private to Ardent]

I can erase Destiny. They asked me to erase the Destiny of a young boy.

[Private to Howie]

I'm back. [A soft laugh.] Obviously. He didn't stop me.

[Filtered to Friends]

Give me tonight. Then tomorrow, get me drunk. Or something.

[[OOC: So. Apologies for the Sveta spam again. BUT...Sveta's had a canon update, yay! The details of that will come later! For now, she's just a little freaked out. Also, feel free to spam if you want. She'll be up on deck for a while.]

I've been here for over a year and a half. I have the choice now, dammit.

...A year and a half is not long in a lifetime of a thousand years.

It doesn't matter. That's not my home anymore.

So you're going to stay here for eternity?

Inmates can go somewhere else when they graduate. Why can't I go somewhere else when I graduate an inmate?

But where would you go?

I could go somewhere else, but nowhere has Dwarfish culture and history like I know it. Except the planet where I'm wanted on counts of treason and sedition by at least three societies.

I don't care if they don't know. I don't.

My point is... where is home going to be but... where you just came from?

I don't know!

Sorry.

I'm not trying to get at you. I just... it's probably a fair thing to consider, that's all.

Not right now it's not. I tried to go home and I got nothing out of it but hurt.

Now I'm back here and...nothing's changed, either. It's all the same. All of it.

This place is exceptionally static as usual.

[pause]

The chalk. The one you were playing God with, or whatever it was designed to do. Where is it?

...playing God? [She frowns, but pulls the small box out of her bag to show him. Inside was the chalk, but she didn't dare open it.]

It's here.

Writing fate. Like Tak did.

[He looks very wary of it.]

Is that box remotely secure?

I'm not playing god. [Pout.]

And what do you mean by secure?

You would have been.

Who can get in it? Could I get in it if I just happened to pick it up?

No.

You could. But it would be useless to you. I'm the only person it works for.

That doesn't change what it is.

I... have an unbreakable box.

Well, nearly.

Why do you have an unbreakable box?

For the Cube.

I'm going to keep the Chalk, Ardent.

Then you can have the box to keep it in.

What about the Cube?

I can keep it on me. I'm the only person I can trust with it.

No. It's alright. Keep your box, Ardent. And I'll keep this with me.
