Hagakure's Load-Bearing Lode: Pick up a Pebble and Put it in a Propitious Place

[crystal_ballin]

Who: Hagakure and maybe you, dear reader
What: Hagakure is carefully placing rocks in patterns outside (and inside???) the mansion
Where: All over the grounds
When: Here and Now - 3/18 - 3/25
Warnings: Hagakure being Hagakure.

Recognizing the fickle nature of the new reality that he had been vaulted into, Hagakure has spent a great amount of effort and time over the last week in collecting particularly auspicious rocks, and he is, at this very moment, placing them in key locations all over the school grounds, so as to better anchor this reality and prevent it from slipping off into another dimension.

He's clearly struggling, in trying to move this 30-pound rock (he doesn't work out very much, okay, it's heavy, stop giving him such a hard time, dude) carefully into place over there in that spot that's in the middle of something inconvenient where you were trying to do a thing.

Is there. Is there now a smallish rock in the middle of the kitchen, with a note on it that says "Load-bearing rock, do not move"?

He's probably not crazy enough to actually be gluing rocks... no, no, he's definitely crazy enough to be gluing a rock there. In the shower.

Whatever could this be? Some kind of modern art installation?

"It's rather... daring, I think." Flurrie ponders the rock in the kitchen, a thoughtful hand to her chin.

"It's not daring, it's foundational to keeping the local ley-lines in balance, to prevent us from tumbling off into some other plane of reality, dude," came a sudden voice from behind a cabinet where the only thing you could easily see was a shock of shocking locks bobbing up and down.

Flurrie's eyes darted around the room, but all she could see was a giant, brown bush. Was that another one of this artist's pieces?

"Dahling, I do believe the foyer would be a much more appropriate place for your displays... wherever you are."

[crystal_ballin]

"No, dude, it's keeping the house anchored into this reality. There aren't any geomantically-aligned areas in the foyer, that's just crazy."

Crazy, Flurrie. Crazy.

[lovely_wind]

Crazy incomprehensible, you mean.

"I'm afraid I don't quite follow." That's a polite way of saying I have no idea what the hell you just said.

"I'm reinforcing the local leylines with auspicious rocks so that this mansion doesn't slip off into another dimension, like the last dimension we were in, dude," Hagaure responded sagely.

[lovely_wind]

"Ah. I... see." No, no she doesn't. "So I take it this isn't some kind of art installation, then? What's a leyline?"

[crystal_ballin]

"A line of geomantic power that lies beneath the earth," responded Hagakure. "I'm grounding the mansion into the local reality before we get tossed out of this plane, dude.'
