The Nine Planes of Parsnip: Glossary of the Indescribables
Where things be said that cannot be known
for the saying rings a forbidden tone.
The Great Glossary:
- Escapee Five:
- Elanzo, Arturo, Alke, Gordo and Gripe. For more details, reference the Attempted Escape of Way Back When.
- Longing:
- That which every sould feels, in life and in death; the desire to be elsewhere or elsewhen at times that seem most inappropriate, though, ultimately, prove to be quite right.
- More Than This:
- The very essence of Life; that which turns all flowers towards the sun and all hearts to the east. Never forget that there be more. Never...
- Outer World:
- From whence you came.
- Process of the Parsnip:
- The slow, kind shift from Being to Been via the Taproot of Eternity.
- Realms Below:
- Any of the Nine Planes of Parsnip that remain untravelled.
- Realms Upon the Skin:
- Another name for the uppermost reaches of the Forbidden Parsnip, i.e. those regions described as The Realms that See Light . Regions described as such are, in a singularly geographical way, "On the Edge", or "Liminal, like Citrus." I knew this would clear things up! BRAVO!
- Searing Soot:
- An intersellar nebula reminiscent of an umbrella pine in shape. Previously known only to the astronimical community of the Dome, but ultimately achieving great notoriety upon the appearance of a previously unseen constellation within its depths.
- The Unwilling:
- Those that fear, even hate, compost (though they claim to be in love with the Earth).
- Those Who Once Wished For and Must Do So Again:
- A lesser-known (though far more accurate) name for the sad Sisterhood of the Scar.
- Was:
- The imperfect (past) tense of the verb "To Be", otherwise known as "Sum", which we all are...in one way or another..
- What Has Gone Before:
- The things that were once but are now no longer. Some find strength in knowing, others find salvation through learning.
- What Might Have Been:
- Instances wherein hope was wasted and faith proved empty, though not all such points required either.
- What Really Should Be Said:
- Submissions welcome; this case may never close.
- What Was Wished For:
- There are those things that many have desired, regarldess of the madness such desire brought. In regards to the Un-Being DESIRES of Humankind, this be the THING they create from Hope (minus Faith), Fear and a few shades of Utter Loneliness.
