[taravata]

I can't do a damn thing to fix it.

I tried. Goddammit, I tried. The same way I brought it down.

[ Quieter now. ]

Was there anyone hurt?

How did you bring the barrier down… some kind of magic?

I don’t know much about magic but I have been told it might be possible to create a barrier using the powers of a lot of magic users. Maybe you should try combining your power with others?

[Softer, sympathetic and totally without blame...]

If you hadn’t brought the barrier down some one else would have. It appeared to be the only way out.

Voice

[taravata]

Magic. Sure, call it that. And I told that man, Alan- I'd help wherever I can.

[ Pause- ]

Still on my hands.

Voice

[eagleofautozam]

I understand. I would feel bad about it too… if any of my efforts had met with as much success.

[Understatement. ]

However, there was no real way to know what would happen if the barrier fell. Information is a difficult thing to come by in this City. And it is only natural to try to escape.

[taravata]

People say, you leave when they say you can.

I thought I'd never leave.

[sparkling_by]

...thank you for your hard work.

Voice

[taravata]

Ain't nothing to thank me for, Tamaki.

voice

[sparkling_by]

You tried and tried and tried and tried again, right?

[withloadedguns]

If it won't go back up the same way it came down, you'll have to find a different way.

[A pause.]

How'd you do it?

audio;

[taravata]

Other folks got ideas. Better ones than me. Whatever they tell me, I'll do it.

[ There'd be a shrug here. ]

Can't explain it.

[withloadedguns]

[Nameless Man thinks that would be wise. In other news:]

But you still did it.

audio;

[taravata]

And I ain't denying that.

[byweavinglives]

Idiot.

[taravata]

That make you feel better?

[byweavinglives]

Does destroying the barrier on a whim make you feel better?

[taravata]

Ain't a whim. Ain't done it for fun or to prove a point neither. I did it to get out, and I almost did, goddammit.

[valentineluke]

A foolish yet noble effort.

[taravata]

Not noble.

[valentineluke]

Your heart was in the right place.

[taravata]

Just stop it.
