[Nita's been in camp for about 6 months as of about...now. As this series of faster and stronger then normal magical pings coming from the barrier might indicate, she is Not Happy with this.]


What's so important that I have to stay here?

[Of course, that would be about the time that the lights go out, thanks to Camp.]

[ ooc: If you know Nita well icly/are magically inclined, please feel to ping or IM me about jumping in. Castmates need not ask, of course. ]

[from this post]


[Sense him? Not...quite. Just the Toya next to me. Wait.]

Doesn't seem like he's home, huh?

[About 2 am, on the inside of Ronan's tent, an invisible-but-not-silent Nita is sneaking onto the bed.]

Why couldn't you be a few inches smaller or something?

[[working out some IC emo and logistics, please ping me first if you want to jump this post.]]

OCAM'S RAZOR: The simplest solution is the most likely. (The more complicated, the more variables and the more assumptions > therefore the more likely it is that the assumptions are somehow interfering/incorrect)

MURPHY'S LAW: What can go wrong, will go wrong.

THE ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS: Any two systems in equilibrium to a third system are in equilibrium with each other.

THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS: In any process, the total energy of the universe remains constant.

THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS: The entropy of an isolated system not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium. (energy systems have a tendency to increase their entropy)

THE THIRD LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant.

ENTROPY: Entropy is a measure of the uniformity of the distribution of energy. A more recent formulation describing Entropy as energy dispersal describes entropy as measuring "the spontaneous dispersal of energy — at a specific temperature." (Energy used disperses.)

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
- Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809 - 1892)

In the end, we decide if we're remembered for what happened to us or for what we did with it.

Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master.
- Demosthenes (384 BC - 322 BC)

The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.
- Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)

Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
- Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), Unpopular Essays (1950), "Outline of Intellectual Rubbish"

She opened the book at random. And on the page to which she opened, there was the Oath.
It was not decorated in any way. It stood there, a plain block of type all by itself in the middle of the page, looking serious and important. Nita read the Oath to herself first, to make sure of the words. Then, quickly, before she could start to feel silly, she read it out loud.

“ ‘In Life’s name, and for Life’s sake, ‘ “ she read, “ ‘I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so—till Universe’s end. ‘ “
