Planescape Torment - 06 Ravel has something to tell you

Choose "watch in high quality" if you don't want any trouble with reading.

felt a memory surfacing.
When my eyes opened, it felt as if all the color had bled out of the trees and the maze; everything was a featureless, dusty, dead gray. Ravel's eyes were still closed, but as I watched, they slowly opened and she smiled, a sad, gray smile. I felt words rising to my lips, echoing something I had said in the past, in a different place, on another plane...
"It is said you are the greatest of the Gray Sisters, Ravel. I have traveled far to reach you." She nodded, but slowly, too slowly, as if through a dream. When she spoke, her words were muted, as if being spoken underwater.
"But why have you traveled so far? Your need must be great... yet you seem to have brought nothing that would interest me. You must pay for your services..."
"My need is great. My currency is this: a challenge. Perhaps an impossible challenge... one I fear is beyond even your abilities...." I echoed the words, and I felt the manipulation, the subtle twist designed to pull Ravel's strings. Her eyes blazed a fiery gray in the dream-memory, and the gray that was eating the landscape seemed to ebb from her features.
"There is nothing that is beyond me, foolish man! nothing! Pose your challenge, I will hear you!"
"Death waits at the end of life for all men. I need it to wait for me no longer... can you do this, beautiful Ravel?"
The vision cleared, the gray bleeding away from the maze, until the color resumed, my hand still cupping Ravel's cheek. Her eyes were closed, and she sighed. I withdrew it slowly, and after a moment, Ravel's eyes opened, and she gave a rasping hiss.
"Yessssss..."
***********************
"Chose? Ahh... a dangerous word. Is it so?" Ravel threw a black-veined glance at Dak'kon, her voice like an arrow.
"Is it choice, gith? Is it? Or is it a matter of two skies?" Dak'kon's blade bled into a vicious dead black, mirroring his eyes... and to my surprise, the karach edge silently split into jagged fangs. I felt anger; I was the one who had come to question her. I was the one with whom she had made her bargain.
"Ravel... leave him be. I will answer your questions, not them." Ravel ignored me.
"What of the cog-box?" Ravel turned to Nordom, sneering. "What does it know of choice?" She snapped her fingers, like the sound of cracking bone. "There is only obey and obey, hmnnn?" Nordom's eyes kliked as he regarded her.
"Query: What does Nordom define /choice/? Define: choice: The act of choosing, selection; the right or opportunity to choo—" Ravel cast her gaze on Morte, overriding Nordom's reply.
"Skull, skull, skull..." Ravel clicked her tongue after each word, and her smile widened. "Your expression is difficult to read without the skin wrapping, but I feel your fear from here. Coming here was not your choice." Morte replied with his usual jauntiness.
"Well, I didn't have anything better to do except go to one of the Lady's mazes and meet one of the evilest creatures ever to set foot in Sigil, so I said 'sure! Why n-?' " I felt sudden fear. This was not someone to take liberties with. I tried to shut up Morte.
"Morte, be quiet. Ravel, I..."
" 'Be quiet?!' " Morte clacked his teeth. "Like the hells I will! I think we've listened to this crone rattle her bone-box enough, and now she's got some pair of stones, saying I haven't got any skin! So what if I don't?! Obviously the fact she has skin has done wonders for her looks! Does she think I like being naked all the time? And another thing—" Fortunately, Ravel chose to ignore him, moving on to her next victim.
"The succubus..." Ravel squinted. "Did she have a choice? Mayhap in her smooth-skinned mind of soft silks and hard truths, maybe choice... tchhh. But no. A Sensate must experience all, and to refuse to come — not a Sensate would you be. Still no choice!"
