CavernSense

The Surface Gateway Controller, GameTap, made an announcement on February 4, 2008, that our access to the cavern via their gateway would be closed on April 4, 2008.

60 days.

Less than that today, but until now I didn’t have anything to say. I went through the range of emotions fairly quickly, then we heard that “maybe” there would be another way to meet.  Naturally, I perked my ears and forgot my self-pity for a moment.  Still, I have to starting to pack my things, again, and figure out how to get all this equipment to the surface without a severe backache.

The worse thing will be to say goodbye to my characters. I have several, no secret, and most are for CCN or the Roof Volunteer Group. They can’t all come with me, which means I’ll have to say goodbye to them and let them decide what they want to do next. Will they fade into history when the gate is closed or close up their relto doors and take the leap off the ledge into the next unknown d’niverse?

And what about the quest for the Cavern Scents? Well, I’ll do what I can before it’s time to go. I had some research done before D’mala closed. The new ages are a priority as I don’t know whether I’ll ever find books to travel to those again.

And this site — it was going well until the news. Guess I should be glad I didn’t tear it down right away. The fact that it is still here means there’s more to do with it. My involvement with the Guild of Healers hasn’t stopped either. Maybe there is more to do there as well.

Oh yes, there’s a seventh sense. It’s the one known as CavernSense. It is a sense of things beyond the sixth sense, which is, in my humble opinion, rather restricted to the surface. One you get into the Cavern, something else kicks in — the seventh sense.

CavernSense

It’s the feeling you get as you look at the 10,000 year old ruins of a highly evolved race that has left nothing behind but the ruins in front of you. It’s an awareness of something around you that evokes an emotional response, but you don’t know how to describe that emotion. It’s a knowing that you are now a part of something larger than yourself, a part of another history you didn’t even know existed, connected to a race of people who came to this earth from somewhere not on this earth.

If you can wrap your mind around that, you’re getting in touch with your CavernSense.
