⭒ დ 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳 。 @nostrumstart ⭒ დ 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 。 matala beach, crete
jaeyi really loved his job, making pastries all day was truly an amazing job for him, �� but he could never say that he loved that more than going to the beach. he was so in love with the view and the weather at that moment, it was just a perfect moment and he would treasure it forever. “ i have to be totally honest with you right now ” finally decided to break the silence, a big smile in his face, his brain deciding on whether he should say it or not, but he felt like he had to. “ but this beach makes me feel like someone is going to burst into an abba song in any moment ”.
greece felt like the PERFECT way to start off their trip . devika finds herself occupied with all the sights the isles had to provide . and not once did they dwell on the state of everything back home . they let out a contented sigh as they relax against the sun lounger . head turns at the sound of jaeyi’s voice . “ i thought the EXACT same thing the moment i got here , ” they admit , chuckling lightly . “ even if we don’t get a spontaneous musical number , i think listening to abba while in greece is part of the experience . is it not ? ”

ever since zahra was young, attending museums became something of a hobby of theirs. especially since attendance was free and the museums in edinburgh were large enough for zahra to get lost in for the day. some of the shit they learned would’ve otherwise been things lost to history, or at the very least just unknown to zahra. if it hadn’t been the pull toward electrical engineering, they could’ve seen themself pursuing a history degree at uni. ❝ they were painted ?? ❞ zahra echoed back in a question, eyebrows knitted together in thought as they tilted their head in examination of the statue. ❝ do you know what color ?? i can’t tell if i agree just 'cause that’s what we’re used to seeing with these types of statues. i will say the white does give a level of picturesqueness. ❞
they’ve already dedicated the whole day to this museum , but devika makes a mental note that they may have to return tomorrow . there’s many more exhibits that have yet to be seen . “ they were , yes , ” confirms with a nod of her head . “ i can’t say for sure but given how common pigments for that time consisted of reds , blues , purples , greens and yellows so i’d say they were probably painted with the colors available , ” they muse , stopping themselves before they start babbling on . “ but i agree , it does give it a level of picturesqueness . personally , i quite like the neoclassical look to it . ”

。𓂃🪧 ㅤ۪ㅤ۫ㅤ੭ ﹕ keon should’ve paid more attention in school than he did with sports . he doesn’t know much about the greek gods but he wanted so much to learn about them since they’re here now . that’s why his first stop is the acropolis museum , walking slowly along with other tourists that studies each piece displayed . he glances down when someone beside him speaks about it . “ i think that’s interesting . i didn’t know that . ” he chuckles shyly , eyes scanning the design . “ i prefer this . the details are too real . whoever did this must be so proud of themselves . ”
while they didn’t specialize in greek artifacts , devika is still able to draw back on their art history courses . the museum felt like treasure trove of ancient wonders . “ makes you think just how much free time they had back then , ” she comments jokingly . “ but i do agree with you . i prefer them like this . there’s a certain je ne sais quoi to it and i will admit that the hellenistic era of greek art is my favorite . ” finger taps against her lips in thought . “ this is already impressive itself , but do you ever wonder how they manage to translate that to constructing something like the parthenon ? that was entirely made of marble ! ”

𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐲’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐟𝐟 , but even they can’t deny how cool it is to be standing in front of a sculpture that’s probably , like , a million years old or something . “ i had no idea , ” riley replies honestly , gazing up at the statue with a tilted head . they try to imagine it painted but for some reason , can only really somehow think of what it would look like if it was covered in cheap acrylic paint . “ i think it looks better like this . what do you think happened to the head ? ”
head tilts to the side as they try to imagine what the sculpture would look like when painted . definitely a little . . . jarring . “ it’s not visible to the naked eye but under a microscope , it reveals slight traces of pigment remaining on these statues , ” she explains , careful not to attack the other with a barrage of information . “ my guess is just years of wear and tear before these were found , ” they shrug . “ i heard marble tends to be brittle . that or maybe by looters at various points in time –– i’m personally leaning towards looters because it just sounds more interesting . ”

🖋️ OPEN STARTER * @nostrumstart
🖋️ LOCATION : somewhere on the streets of nafplio
GETTING LOST IN A FOREIGN, BREATHTAKING COUNTRY was definitely not in miguel’s bucket list. then again, he doesn’t have a bucket list to begin with. but here he is. after hours of wandering around the town, solely relying to a navigation software, taking scenery photos, googling ’ things to do in greece ’ — the data usage drained his phone. with no other way to use to navigate his way back to the airnb he and niran booked for their stay, the only thing he can hope for now is to pray ask for help for those mythology greek gods to help him. mayhaps, hermes ? ’ wasn’t he a flying god or something. ’ miguel asks his self, obviously being unserious with his situation right now. he knows nothing about the greece except the books he once read back in high school by rick riordan, and the pretty pics he saw on google.
he stopped on his tracks when he spotted a familiar figure, he can’t really tell who from afar as he has an eyesight of a bat. “hi, i’m sorry but i’m kind of lost. do you have a power bank with you that i can borrow?” he asks, flashing a smile in hopes he don’t creep the other party out. “and do you know a place that has good food and drinks?”
they’re quite glad that the ship docked in greece as the first stop . however , she will admit that a one day per island didn’t feel like enough time . they wanted to be able to relax without moving from one place to another in quick succession . so here they are . they’re seated at a cafe with a good book , a frappé and a plate of tiropita .
head snaps up when she feels the presence of another and sets down their phone . they’d be hesitant but they’ve seen him around the ship so at least they know he’s not a complete stranger . “ i think i might , give me a second , ” offers a friendly smile before grabbing their bag and rummaging through it . “ this cafe has some pretty good food and drinks , ” she offers . “ you’re more than welcome to join me if you’d like ? ” pulls out the battery pack from her purse and hands it to him . “ there’s a couple more treats i want to try but i’d feel less bad ��if i had someone to share it with ! ”

⌗ ⠀﹒⠀⠀ ೀ › open : @nostrumstart !
⌗ ⠀﹒⠀⠀ ೀ › location : rhodes town .
。𓂃🪧 ㅤ۪ㅤ۫ㅤ੭ ﹕ greece is beautiful . that much she knows . when she left the ship this morning , heart didn’t really have an itinerary in mind . she just lets her feet take her wherever . ( mostly , she’s just following familiar faces around and hopes she won’t get lost ) . and rhodes town ? it’s just so amazing . literally almost everything is here . food stalls , souvenir shops , the view . she’s going to buy a lot later but for now , she’s trying to capture everything on her camera . she takes a few clicks and focuses on the background when her view suddenly becomes dark . she pulls away to check if something’s wrong but it turns out , someone’s just blocking her . “ excuse me . you’re kind of blocking the view . ” she says politely before realizing who they are . “ oh , you’re here too ? are you alone ? ”
footsteps come to a halt as they take in a deep breath . they are in awe of greece . it’d been a while since they’ve visited the country , much less the islands . there’s just something about greece . something that makes her want to live this mamma mia fantasy –– minus owning a hotel and replace it with working at a museum . then they’d be content . they snap out of their reverie after hearing someone call out to them . “ oh –– ! sorry , ” side steps out of the way before turning around . “ yeah for the most part i’m alone . kind of having a me day but i never mind company . what about you ? ”

NOTE : devika’s pronouns are they and she so please keep that in mind ! meaning , they prefer they/them pronouns but will also accept she/her . please don’t use only she and only they exclusively . my writing will utilize both pronouns !
BIOGRAPHY.
001. devika is one of two children born to an upper middle class family in seattle . the kumar family is successful . ‘ bragging rights to extended family members ’ successful . a lawyer . a cardiologist . two healthy children ( a son and a daughter ) . what more could they ask for ? unfortunately for devika , their parents’ success translated to strong expectations being thrust upon them from a young age . she is always striving to be the absolute best in whatever she did . be it in school , sports , extracurriculars –– you name it .
and these expectations carry through as they get older . she never wanted to disappoint her parents . it didn’t matter that it looked like devika was slowly overloading herself , she never wanted to disappoint . she was going to make it happen . and that work eventually pays off when they get accepted to harvard . unfortunately , her parents weren’t satisfied . it wasn’t enough to get into an ivy league university . there’s a lot more for her to prove .
002. college served as a sense of freedom . they’re on their own for the first time . however , devika still feels the extent of her parents’ expectations . by the time she graduates , she has a double major in chemistry and art history and a minor in south asian studies ( though , the two other additions to their chemistry major remain a secret from their parents ) .
it doesn’t stop there . she makes the decision to pursue her masters . not in chemistry . just in art history and south asian studies . and she hides that from her parents . they let them believe they’re doing it for chemistry . she’ll tell them eventually ! so she doesn’t return home and is instead off to new york . new city , same habits . study . explore a new city . date around a little bit . update her parents every once in a while . and this works . so much so that after devika finishes obtaining their masters , they move to LA to get their doctorate .
003. things come crashing down while devika is in LA . not their career . they’re in school and secured a curator position within a very well established museum . she feels external pressure from her parents to get married . they knew it was coming , but marriage just wasn’t in devika’s books . . . not for a long while .
however , with news that their brother had gotten engaged , devika’s parents started pushing her into marrying . so much so that they’ve given her a list of suitors ( of course deemed acceptable by their standards ) . she doesn’t say anything . she accepts it and eventually finds someone they’re compatible with . things move as they would . they’re engaged by the time they finish their doctorate program .
004. their engagement was met with excitement all around from everyone except devika . maybe it’s just jitters from how big of a decision they’re making , right ? surely that’ll wear off and they’ll be excited to plan their wedding ? and that’s what they convince themselves to believe .
unfortunately , six months into wedding planning and those feelings of dread haven’t shaken . the last thing she wants to do is disappoint but marriage just wasn’t in the cards for her . but devika makes the decision to call off the wedding . as expected , it’s met with anger and disappointment . despite parting on good terms with their ex-fiance , the rest of their family weren’t as understanding . to get away from it all , devika stumbles upon the crowned hope . they booked a ticket and hasn’t checked in with their family since .
PERSONALITY.
devika can come off as quiet, caring and sensitive . always open to listen and be that shoulder to cry on . something that’s just been part of her charm . and while they are highly perceptive and more than willing to offer support when needed , they’re still closed off when it comes to their personal life . she’s reluctant to open up , seeing it as a burden to others . and from time to time , they can be a little bit of a perfectionist and a little dramatic about it . despite all this , she’s practical , decisive and compassionate .

LOCATION: acropolis museum
when it was announced that the ship would be docking in greece , devika couldn’t help but internally cheer . the acropolis museum was the FIRST thing on their list of sites to visit . steps halt in front of the statue of nike . “ it’s weird to imagine that these statues were once painted , ” she muses , turning to the person next to her . “ i almost prefer that they remain like this . what do you think ? ”
