// Another excellent question...

// I know growing up it used to be roast beef au jus. A nice, warm, savory sandwich....or maybe fried chicken.

As I've grown older, I find myself able to have almost any sort of food I want, which is awesome, allowing me to appreciate the comfy qualities of stews, chili, a good roast, or whatever.

However, I think these days, a comfort food for me is a good fresh apple. I have special associations with apples nowadays after an unpleasant incident, and they were the greatest comfort there. So even to this day, I associate that feeling of joy in simplicity with an apple. Refreshing and wonderful.

💅🏼- What's your aesthetic?

// Hmm, another good question...

// I think I would describe my aesthetic as 'comfy' or 'cozy'. Not in the cottagecore vibe of manicured rustic-ness...but the sort of vibe that comes when a space is really lived-in.

I don't need or want a lot of space. I don't need or want anything fancy. I don't like pretentious posturing or flaunting of wealth...nor am I wanting to romanticize impoverished lifestyles.

I like the comfy that comes with having exactly as much space as I need. Having my section of my domain with a comfy nest with my things. A full bookshelf, or a shelf with my plushies on it is an exquisite luxury that I've only recently been able to have.

It's a vibe I like for my muses, and for my games, too. I often play games with some amount of survival or basebuilding because it allows me to inhabit that comfy space. To utilize what I have to the fullest in a way that makes everything feel like it's got it's proper place, tidy, but not sterile.

It's that vibe that I strive for. Comfy and not pretentious. A cozy nook for reading or coffee. An old bookstore, the smell of rain or fall leaves.

The little fairy finishes drying herself off, and puts on her outfit, standing in the open on the table.

"Alright, umm...fire away?" She says, uncertainly, given the mage's clear lack of sleep.

Roelle kicks the door open to their inn suite and slams down a stack of papers. The mage seemed tired beyond belief as the dark circles under her eyes had dark circles. "I've done it! I can make you as tall as a Hylian!" she proclaims to her fairy companion.

The fairy nearly falls out of the teacup she was bathing in.

"That's great news! And..." She squints. "Roelle...when is the last time you slept?"

📣What's on your mind?!

// Oh, a lot of things.

// First of all, my roommate's parents are back from snowbirding, so I have to deal with them until October, which I'm not super looking forward to. Giving me a lot of passive stress on my mind.

Still, I've had a nice hearty First Meal, which I'm currently rather enjoying, and my brain is reflecting on my objectives in Project Zombid (which I've recently taken to playing). I need to secure a generator for the safehouse, as well as set up rain collectors to ensure the place has reliable water. Lots of fun busywork to occupy my racing thoughts and anxiety.

Noelle nodded in understanding.

"Alright. I can get you close enough, if they can restrain them, and I can give you those 10 seconds."

She looks up at the kami. "I imagine we'll have a lot to discuss later, but until then, are you ready?"

@risingshine @awanderingbountyhunter

The oni slicked out partway of the womans cloak- the cracked mask looking at her. His eyes flickered- the place where chiasa punched him flickering with flame. They looked like a corpse- which was fitting.

".... mh. To think I'd see you again... fate is intriguing indeed." He tilted his head. "... we are short on time. I will be brief: i will offer you two my power to divide- specifically my divide by zero. It will set the seal a week back- stopping this spirit at least and buying us time."

" i have two demands. One is.... mh." He hesitates for just a momment, before continuing. "... I have gotten... information. About a decendent i have. I wish for you two to track them... and if they do actually exist- I wish for a body so I may see them."

They look at chiasa more intently- their eye looking over the kamis body. "... the body must be made by your hand. I refuse any other one."

A loud explosion could be heard nearby as peoples screams echoed throught the town. "... and... if the seal is too damaged to be affected by the technique... then the divide and concor one should work better. For that one, I will require the bea-" he paused again. " i will reqire... her body to sync up with."

Oh dear...this one was definitely Noelle's child. She might need to do something about the lack of sleep.

"Alright..." She steps out of the teacup and begins to dry herself with a napkin. "What do I need to do?"

Roelle kicks the door open to their inn suite and slams down a stack of papers. The mage seemed tired beyond belief as the dark circles under her eyes had dark circles. "I've done it! I can make you as tall as a Hylian!" she proclaims to her fairy companion.

The fairy nearly falls out of the teacup she was bathing in.

"That's great news! And..." She squints. "Roelle...when is the last time you slept?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"Possibly so. I admit that I don't know much about astronomy in my realm."

She smiles at Iyana's answer.

"That does sound lovely. Going to see nature's beauty without disrupting them. That sense of freedom and delight." It was such a pure and wonderful dream. Noelle hoped to see it come true.

No, she knew it would. She just wanted to be there to share in that joy.

@songofsilentechoes

"Due to the size and proximity our moon has, the gravitational pull of it actually influences the ocean-"

Iyana had invited Noelle out for a day by the ocean: and knowing that she enjoys fisihing, has decided to bring her to a pier, where Iyana kept to the very center so that she can't risk falling over.

And decided to talk about things to keep her mind off of the water under her.

"As it orbits the earth, it pulls the water with it, so the water on our earth buldges slightly under it. Due to this, every beach on earth has periods of high tide, where the water pushes further inland, and lowtide, where it retreats back into the ocean-"

[songofsilentechoes]

The angel nods. "The Legacy is tied to the spell that made all of creation. It is the highest power in the Actuality." They were probably biased about that.

"We are remnants of the Legacy and....those left behind." Their tone was one of loss, almost of mourning.

"Saturyne is a city in the Actuality...'reality'."

"Your title is marked on your soul...you've accepted it as part of who you are." The angel comments, perhaps seeing something a little deeper than just her name, but how she perceives herself.

At least a little.

"I....am a remnant of the Legacy. An...angel is what we are called by those who dwell in Saturyne." They say, confirming her facts...more or less.

[songofsilentechoes]

Hm? Confused Porogun. Why not like help? Help is good, since no one moves a mountain on their own. Good to build the bonds and do the snuggles! But can explain more about the poems! For example...

Heavy load feels stuck, Helping hands make burden light, Tasks now move forward.

See? Easy and honorable! The humans seem to like when he makes them.

"I...do not dislike help, but I need- ...where I am from, one is part of a greater order. Failing to perform one's assigned role means that you have no place in that order." Their tone was one of fear. This was not a desireable thing for them.

They listen to the poem and nod. "It is less about the burden of my tasks, and more proving I can be part of the order of things."

[songofsilentechoes]

"Remember Crystal, ya always part of the shrine, no matter what happens~ Even if ya just hang about all day, ya still have a home here~" Chiasa just felt like bringing it up, just in case she was worried about roles or something.

"Thank you, Chiasa." The angel says.

It still felt...strange to be accepted, but not expected to fulfill a role. They needed to, of course, but it wasn't...required?

Could there truly be such a place? It seemed too good to be true. But here it was...and it didn't seem like it would be snatched away.

[songofsilentechoes]

Ah! Pats! Yes, pats are good. Very honorable course of action, that. Clearly, the angel knows much about the ways of the poros! More snuggles shall be given! Perhaps the angel wants help or would like the poems? Humans seem to like those.

The angel watches them for a moment, pondering.

They couldn't accept help right now. They needed to be the one to do this task, as they didn't want to lose their role at the shrine.

"Poems?"

[songofsilentechoes]

I'll have two number 9's, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda.

"That'll be 44 glass orbs and 4/57ths of a crystal orb. Would you like to round it up with a donation to Mages without Familiars?"

[songofsilentechoes]

Noelle nods. "My soul is safe. He's in the cloak I'm wearing now." It wasn't the usual one the short woman wore. In fact, she didn't look like she was carrying or dressed as she normally did when out on the town. More like she was pulled from her room while resting, and only had time to get her shoes on before leaving.

The mage sighs with some relief. That was one part of thing handled.

"Alright, Bashira. You've heard her. She will hear you out. Explain what we're bargaining for...as well as the cost you're demanding. And please behave yourself, my protection covers this conversation." She said, implying that she will not protect him should he choose to cause trouble.

She lifts the cloak a little, and shifts the mana, allowing his exit from the enchanted cloth.

@risingshine @awanderingbountyhunter

Multiple things happened at once- a blur of red now pinned under the kami- a gargled yell of pure rage exploded out from the bounty hunter- steam following suit as she blasted chiasa back.

The being turned at Noelle- teeth snarling as she raced towards her- before Prometheus snapped out of it and yelled something- a stone wall wrapping around the woman as another loud, horrible scream could be heard- a sonic boom exploding out as the hunter blasted up- racing towards the sky.

Philip was put of his shock now- pulling out a chain as he chanted, the chain extending out and shooting past ariel.

All around the small town, a barriar of chains snaked around the sky- blocking off the being escape as another loud, angry scream could be heard- before darting off towards the south end of town.

Philip immidetly jumps- a small crater being formed as he went after the being. Prometheus looked at the kami, and then noelle.

" you two! Plan! I'll make sure there's no casualties! Philip will hold her! Be fast! " the titan said- sprinting after the father and the daughter.

The angel seems a bit...confused. "I...can see it on your soul." It replies. "Forgive me, if I've overstepped myself. I've been in isolation a long time."

Their wings ruffle a little. While it's face has no hint of expression, the wings make it seem...nervous? Flustered? It's difficult to tell.

"I...am told you are a regular visitor to the shrine." They bow their head a little.

[songofsilentechoes]

"Really? Interesting. Our moons don't pull on the water like that. But perhaps there's a force at play that I don't fully understand." Noelle admits.

She was sitting near Iyana, enough so that if something were to happen, she was in a good position to help her.

Yes, that was the reason. And not because she genuinely enjoyed the scientist's company.

There's a bit of a nibble on the line, but the fish doesn't bite.

"When you have wings...where do you want to fly?"

[songofsilentechoes]

"Oba. This is important. Right now, I am harboring that oni, Bashira, with me. The two men who came with me have need of it's power to stop Ariel."

"I have spoken with them, and they are willing to *lend* the power, which they claim can 'reset' a moment of time to a degree. They have a price, and you MUST listen to what they have to say. I have their sworn word they will not harm you or Ariel until we finish negotiations. In turn, you must at least hear them out, regardless of if we accept the terms or not."

"They wouldn't tell me all the details until we met, and time is short. Oba, do you understand?"

It felt surreal to hear Noelle with this tone. The normally timid person was clearly under a great deal of pressure, and trying to keep herself and the situation together as best as she can."
