Chapter VII
\"Everyun please pat your monkey good luck,\" Said Kwartz. \"And no eatin\' grass ina soccer court, it growin\' there fo\' a reason. Just sit back an\' enjoy your air...\"
\"Wow, I feel so much safer now...\" Unitearica sighed.
Draklar, Arianna, Kixie, Karyuu, Jazeera, Demarthl and Unitearica appeared in the invisible room. For a while they didn\'t move at all, but finally some of them started breathing.
\"Let us go.\" Said Draklar.
\"Wait,\" Karyuu turned to him. \"Uni\'o.\"
Draklar glanced at the Ylian. \"Ah, indeed... The first connection shall take a longer time...\"
Finally Unitearica moved. Everyone besides Demarthl turned to doors and soon walked out of the invisible room, going down the stairs to the main tavern hall afterwards.
\"Hmm...\" Unitearica glanced at Draklar.
\"What?\" Draklar turned to him.
\"Your texture has shades...\"
\"Aye.\"
\"And why do you have shades?\"
\"Simple.\" Answered Draklar. \"When I go to Grono, I use my Dermorian model. But since male Dermorian model was not present in the times o\' Molecular Blue, I have to mask myself somehow, so that other players shan\'t find me suspicious.\"
\"And that\'s why you...\"
\"That be\'th wherefore I use shades.\"
\"But don\'t you think...\" Unitearica took a look around. \"That people might be surprised by a medieval character wearing shades?\"
\"Uni\'o, Uni\'o, Uni\'o...\" Draklar shook his head.\"Thou art forgetting the rule... See, I know those people... They find it more natural to talk about cell phones or setting up console games in the tavern rooms, than to hear someone say, for example; Let us thus march onward, fierce soldiers o\' freedom! Our hearts shall scream for vengeance, our steel scream for blood! Morrow still seem\'th young, yet our goal be\'th yonder! Therefore, be ye younkers, be ye gaffers; Join the cause! Let the Azure Sun shine upon us, shine like the fortune favourable to those who seek the path o\' glory!\"
\"Wow.\" Unitearica was in shock.
\"Hah,\" Jazeera joined the discussion. \"I remember that speech. Someone reported Draklar for using foul language and soon after we had to hit the road, hoping that Game Masters wouldn\'t find us.\"
\"Well, we be here.\" Draklar stopped before the temple. \"Uni\'o, come with me.\"
\"So is this the same Oracle that made the prophecy?\" Asked Unitearica while entering the temple.
\"Aye. She be\'th very old. She hath been here since the beginning.\"
\"The beginning...?\"
\"The 2D version o\' Planeshift.\"
\"And she knows what, everything?\" Unitearica kept inquiring.
\"She would say she does.\"
\"And she\'s never wrong?\"
\"That I say\'d not. But \'tis still fun to bother her and get to know what she would advice thee...\"
\"She adviced you something?\"
\"Erm...\" Draklar winced.
\"What did she tell you?\"
\"She told me \'...\'\" The Dermorian shrugged.
\"What?\"
\"Just \'...\'\"
\"Oh...\" Unitearica looked down. \"Wow, that... That sucks, doesn\'t it?\"
\"Pretty much, aye.\" Draklar stopped before a gate. \"I can only show thee the gate. Thou hast to walk through it.\"
Unitearica was about to push the gate, but instead it opened on its own. In front of him stood Moogie.
\"Hiya, Uni\'o.\" She spoken. \"You\'re right on time...\" Moogie turned to the Dermorian. \"Make yourself at home, Draklar. Uni\'o, come with me.\" There were some other people in the temple, all training the glitching. \"These are the other potentials, you can wait here.\"
Unitearica approached some bald Ylian. There were bent sporks lying around him. He was just bending another one. Unitearica picked up one of the sporks.
\"Do not try and and bend the spork.\" The bald Ylian said. \"That\'s impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.\"
\"What truth?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"Sporks aren\'t implemented yet.\"
\"Sporks aren\'t implemented yet?\"
\"Then you\'ll see that it is not the spork that bends, it is only your account.\"
Unitearica glanced back at the spork. Using the newly received knowledge, he managed to bend the small object.
\"Grono will see you now.\" Said Moogie.
Grono was standing on the pedestal, covered with all the sparkling things.
\"Hmm?\" Grono glanced at Unitearica.
\"You\'re the Oracle?\"
\"Yup.\" Grono winced. \"Don\'t tell me you\'re another of Draklar\'s \'the ones\'\"
\"Well, actually...\"
\"Great...\" She sighed. \"I\'d ask you to sit down, but sitting wasn\'t implemented yet. And watch out for the milk.\"
\"What milk?\" Unitearica turned around, nudging a bottle of milk, which then fell down. The milk got spilled.
\"That milk...\" Grono winced.
\"I\'m sorry.\"
\"Oh, you\'ll be sorry all right... When Moogie finds out what you did. We better hurry with this conversation and end it before she comes back.\"
\"So...\" Unitearica took a look around.
\"Err, right... So what do you think? You think you\'re the one?\"
\"Probably...\" Unitearica shrugged.
\"Wait, what?\" Grono cocked an eyebrow.
\"I\'m probably the one.\"
\"No, you are not Havena\'s descendent... Monk is.\"
\"Who?\"
\"The bald guy over there...\" She pointed at the Ylian.
\"Oh, the spork guy...\" Unitearica shrugged. \"Well, Draklar says I\'m the one and the rule sta--\"
\"Don\'t listen to what Draklar says. He\'s a dork.\"
\"Huh?\"
\"He keeps coming in here with his \'the ones\' so that I can give them an advice. Well, at least he doesn\'t send here players like Kixie anymore...\" Grono sighed. \"Anyway, he\'ll leave soon anyway...\"
\"What do you mean, leave?\"
\"Well, soon he\'ll get annoyed by the Game Masters and just leave Planeshift. Again... It won\'t be quite the same without him though. Without his... odd behaviour...\"
\"What?\" Unitearica\'s eyes widened.
\"Don\'t worry, with no doubt he\'ll be back. People can\'t leave this community just like that. Those who leave, always return. So you\'ll see Drak back in no time.\"
\"Right, that\'s what I worry about.\"
\"Oh... Anyway, do you want a cookie?\"
\"You\'re trying to get me into your circle of love, aren\'t you?\"
\"You met Kixie, huh?\" Grono winced. \"Well, I think you should better be going now... Moogie will be back in no time. If she sees the milk...\"
\"Ok, I\'ll go...\" Unitearica turned around and rushed out.
Draklar approached him \"What was say\'d was for--\"
\"No time for that.\" Unitearica didn\'t stop. \"We better run.\"
\"F*cking hell!!\" Moogie\'s scream could be heard from the behind. \"Who the hell spilled my milk?! I am going to rip that as*hole\'s windpipe out!!\"
\"Lemon, lemon in a tree... Lemon, lemon I love thee; Thou art yellow, thou art tart... Lemon, lemon great thou art.\" Kwartz hugged his lemon and glanced back to the console. Suddenly surprise appeared on his face. He moved the lemon to the screen. \"Whatcha think, John... Wut\'s that?\"
