Nice -- the difference between nothing and and Nothing. Once again you transcend the simple adventure and venture into important things. This is the sort of thing that keeps me coming back each day to see if something new has been posted.

ok, now we now how pixies teleport
Fayth says:
Bit like pern dragons going Betweeen.
Chakel says:
Ah, and here we have it. Secrets are not shiney. For if they were shiney they would be stolen, not given away. I wonder if pixies generally think all secrets are dull and therefore wont keep any. Feiht, of course, would know to use them to torment her companions (either by telling them or withholding the ones they really want to know). Which, Im assuming, would be the only way she could make secrets not dull (as a pixie would prefer to only deal with things not dull).
AnyaDraconis says:
I don't really understand why it's so hard for Ayne to see that they mean Nothing as in NOTHING. Not just boring stuff. Isn't it a bit obvious, what with the name being 'the void'???
Pav Lucistnik says:
AnyaDraconis, you think it's clear? Go to your favourite pub and try explaining to the average citizen the concept of time starting at big bang.
Lee says:
Sticks and stones may break their bones but voids can never hurt them.
I must admit the notion of time having a beginning does my brain in. It means there must have been a moment before which there wasn't a before.
Sitara says:
Actually, there were no moments if there was no time.
Therefore, there couldn't be beginnings and endings before the beginning of time, if you define "beginning" using time. It's like existence without a "was" or "will be" because everything just IS or IS NOT. (Or else you could define things in relation to some other dimension, assuming there was any such thing.)
That's a particularly hard one to get, but once you understand that it all becomes clear. Well, at least it did for me.
AnyaDraconis says:
It also depends on how you see time. It could be chronological, or you could divide it up into sections. I don't really expect that to make any sense at all...I don't really get it myself. But this debate is age-old...without time, we would not be able to debate the concept :P
Still, the time debate is different from the void. I mean, come on. It's THE VOID.
Haven't we known how pixies teleport for a long time? I thought that was mentioned around the time of the unicorn and the forest lady.

Nooo... My friend got Percy Jackson, Bk. 3 and read the whole thing begore I could even buy it!! Must... kill... I mean, must read! Heh.
Nebra Reppalk says:
I think I comprehend. An entity known as "Nothing" lives in the void. It is responsible for the chronological decay of mortal beings. Mith, Alien: correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually all of the dialogue reminds me of an event in the Odyssey. When Odysseus and his companions are captured by the cyclops, Polyohemus, Odysseus tells the cyclops his nome is Outis, literally "Nobody". Then, when Odysseus gouges Polyphemus' eye out, Polyphemeus calls for help. The other cyclopses stand around the entrance of the cave and ask Polyphemus who is attacking him. When he shouts, "Nobody is attacking me!" the other cyclopses assume he has gone stark raving mad and return to their caves.
Anything is better than it, it is better than Heaven, a rich man wants it, a poor man has it, and if you eat it you die...
AnyaDraconis says:
Indeed. The ultimate riddle of life ;)
Moocow says:
Void. Look at 96.
Pulsy says:
So there is like ... nothing there? :P
Must be boring indeed!
Niika says:
But can't places like desserts, and other places with very little vegetation, buildings and inhabitants, and many of those things called square-miles, also be called a void?
I think that is what she is thinking of. And such places can certainly be called boring.
Or that cool multi-color thing that comes when Feiht teleports?
Nebra Reppalk says:
Um...can you all do me a favor and try to NOT make Skittles' brain explode again? I'm not cleaning it up, and it leaves such a mess.
AnyaDraconis says:
Well, to have a color, there would have to be light in the void, which would be SOMETHING. So blackness seems about right, since blackness is the absence of light....

Wait, I might need a bit of help with that... I'm kind of out of a brain.
