Back to the Future Part Two: The Sound of the Storm

[Viviane]

That’s perfect, Augustus. Not all Gladitor casters will be working on Lantern, so we can let everyone know when others are here, but I’d say anytime between 3:30 and 4 works. Thank you so much for organizing it all!

[Endri]

Just make sure you all announce everything in the main topic so we know when everything has been cast. I won’t be watching the Hangout in case I’m needed here.

[Viviane]

Will do, Endri. Thanks for the reminder!

[Endri]

I’ll update the schedule to include the Gladitor incantation

[Endri]

Will those performing Operation Gladitor do so in the Hangout or here on the forum? (Sorry for all the questions, I want to create a master schedule so everyone knows where to be.)

[Augustus_Octavian]

Here on the forum would be best.

[Endri]

Okay. Thanks @Augustus_Octavian. I’ll try and run this like a control room so I can cue each part. I’ll cue the lantern bearers once Gladitor is finished.

[Viviane]

Stage Manager Endri is on top of Day of Change cues.

More info for everyone!

I haven’t gotten a clear response on whether we practiced with one main and other supporting casters, or everyone going together. Anyone who knows what was practiced please update me ASAP.

If we do recite in unison, Ginger kindly posted the full text; I suggest bookmarking this link so we all have it handy.

EDIT: Still no update on whether we’re all group casting or using one main caster. This late in the game it might be best not to add any more layers, but the pronouns in the spell are ‘I’ and ‘me’ and it’s a bit long to do in unison without practice.

Executive decision: We all recite the spell together, as is. Our combined focus on the Storm joined together as one entity.

Here’s a link to the Hangout. I opened it early:

[Viviane]

@Endri Rimor is having trouble with the link; can we add them by email?

[Endri]

Can you all add him? I’m not in the hangout. If not, I’ll try logging in.

[Viviane]

Yeah, let me see what I can do.

[Ginger]

Reposting because I’m anxious:

@Ginger

[Use a lantern with new oil and an unburned wick or an unlit candle to represent your untainted intentions. Find a dark and quiet place. It’s helpful to be near the person or thing you believe is being coerced. Light a new flame and repeat the incantation. If successful you will not only hear the disembodied voice but may also be driven to speak or write the words you hear spoken.]

@Ginger

Here’s the whole thing:

The voice on waves of aether’s air

Be drawn upon the light

I call you from the nether’s lair

To bring you into sight

Whisper toward the lantern, mine

A fire burning clear

Your shadow thoughts are bending now

And turning to my ear

That sullen song is echoing

Black bell that has been rung

Your words are at my fingertips

And spilling from my tongue

I cast all ill intent aside

The song begins to wane

As dark dominion loses hold

And burns upon my flame

I am become the voice aloft

High above the ashes

Ringing in the darkened eaves

And slipping through the sashes

The reins are now belong to me

To stay or turn to ill

To set the dark devoted free

Or do with as I will

[Smurfette]

it wont let us add because we didn’t make the hangout

[Endri]

And I can’t access it now. It says it’s ended. Uh oh…

[Endri]

Does someone want to create a new one? I’m sorry.

[Smurfette]

ill make it

[Endri]

You are a lifesaver.
