Build a headspace series

A mountainous forest region

images from unsplash, used free canva templates

Name ideas: Woodland/misty/foggy basin, Forgotten Woods, Veiled Woods...

About: A woodland wonderland, hills surrounding a forested basin, various rivers winding down to meet at a central lake. Cabins are scattered about the area, typically connected by accessible pathways, however some remain disconnected. Zip lines and gondolas bring people up and down the mountains, mainly for entertainment. Caves and crevices dig deeply into the mountains.

Climate: Cool, misty most mornings and nights. Snows in the autumn and winter. Rains often throughout the year.

Services: cabins, well-made paths, bathrooms, hot springs, lake ferries, cafes, restaurants, a tavern or two, gondolas, zip lines, white water rafting, kayak hire, library/book swap.

Senses:

Smells of pine or other woods, rotting leaves and wood, coal and wood fires from the cabins. The fresh smell of the earth after rain, moisture from the mist filling your lungs.

Sounds of birds, perhaps woodpeckers (depends on what kind of birds you want here. Bellbirds are a nice one), wind rustling the trees, branches creaking in the wind, the occasional footstep and crunch of leaves or snow. People cutting wood in the distance.

Lighting is not too bright, dark in the deeper parts of the woods. Mist can make seeing difficult, dull lights light the walkways. The sun filters through the treeline.

Blackberries are sweet and tart, earthy mushrooms, the air is crisp as you breath in. Hot drinks of your liking, pine cone candy, hearty soups or stews.

Ground soft beneath the feet, wooden pathways slippery, stay on the safe parts. In winter the wooden walkways are frozen over, fun slides. Tree bark rough against the hands, cold air prickling the skin. River's waters are freezing year round and refreshing.

Aesthetics: dark naturalism, gloomcore cabincore, dark paradise, cryptidcore

Sub-area ideas:

Cafe and book swap

A cozy cafe where you can read and have food and drinks of your choosing. There may be several of these in the area, or just the one, depending on the size. There's a good hangout spaces for quieter people wanting to get out of the house.

Central lake

The lake in the center of the region. May be dotted with cabins, with a ferry across. Surrounded by woods. In full winter lake may freeze over enough to skate on. Perhaps in the depths of the lake, underwater species could make their home. Plenty of nice picnic spots.

Hot springs spa

A great place to relax, natural hot springs outside along with indoor private ones for those who want it. Sauna rooms and massage rooms also a good idea, with a place to get something to eat and drink as well. All sort of aromatherapy items and soaps are available.

Shower Thoughts

Abigail is a shower girl, singing her favorite punk rock songs slightly off key. Switches up her hair dye every other month. Otherwise, a pretty simple routine. Has mastered the perfect cat eyeliner and a little mascara.

Alex is a soak after a long, arduous workout, and drowns himself in Old Spice products. Uses an exotic scented shampoo - guava.

Elliott is a long bath kind of guy, complete with candles and rose petals, and a writing tray to capture his thoughts. Spends hours on his hair, nails, skin, etc. Immaculate self-grooming habits.

Emily has a whole wind down routine, complete with warm shower, meditation to find her Zen, and lofi sounds to lull her to sleep. Quick shower before work in the morning, fluff drys her hair. It's just that perky.

Harvey is particular about his grooming routine. Cleanliness is next to godliness. He's a shower-to-wake-up-in-the-morning kind-of guy and a shower-to-wind-down-at-night kind-of guy. Frequently shaves and grooms. Doesn't wear cologne so not to disturb his patients with allergies.

Haley spends hours in the bathroom, primping, curling, mani-pedi touch ups, fogging up the mirror with steamy hot showers. Heavy on the perfume. Light floral scents. Flawless makeup.

Sam is a quick cold shower in the morning kind-of dude. Whatever's on sale for cologne and deodorant. Showers daily and uses hair gel. Would totally play with Vincent's rubber ducky if he takes a bath.

Maru is a Navy shower kind-of gal. Freaky fast. She has better things to do with her time. Light sunscreen and a little lip gloss.

Sebastian takes longer than his sister. Rolls out of bed half awake and stands in the shower for a few minutes to be more alert. Thinks about weird stuff in the shower. Like the Reddit argument he had over how to pronounce GIF. The best ingredients for sushi. The weird dream he had last night about the Wizard, a clown, and a ghost dog walking into a bar...

Leah would skinny dip in the lake. Fresh water. Moonlight. Liberating. Not that she does it too often. Otherwise it's a short shower. Turns the shower off when soaping up to save water. Has the same hairstyle since middle school. Lip gloss, brush of dewy foundation, mascara, a little light earthy toned eyeshadow. There. Ready.

Shane avoids it as long as possible. Heavy heavy heavy on the Axe. Does the whole scruff thing. It works for him.

Claire falls asleep in the bath, with a glass of wine, reading a book. Wakes up in cold water realizing she needs to evaluate her life. Buys cheap cosmetics with her employee discount.

Victor is clean shaven... always. He's a normal shower guy, uses aftershave, a little citrus cologne. Sends out his dry cleaning.

Olivia is a luxurious bath lady. Loofah, bubbles, champagne, candles, facial, classical, sit back and soak... ahhhhh! Victoria's Secret perfume. Something strong and vanilla. She's got her makeup routine down pat. Red lipstick is her signature. Looks like a different person when she doesn't wear any makeup.

Penny is sad the plumbing doesn't work half the time in the trailer. She enjoys long soaks in the spa, sweating out her toxins, listening to nothing but the water when showering in the locker room. It's a nice change over her mom yelling at the game on TV.

Lance likes his spiked hair. Lots of mousse and gel to get it perfect. He's a shower-under waterfalls-bathe-in-the-ocean type of gent. Uses a sea salt scrub. Rugged deep woods scented cologne.

Magnus - why shower when you can just use a cleaning spell? Such a time saver! But if he must, he will set up his tub in the woods and soak under the stars.

Sophia - has a grape chapstick she loves, special orders her pink hair dye, washes her feet nightly, showers every other day, no look is complete without her cotton candy blush.

I always appreciate a bath, though usually I prefer it outdoors and in whatever lake or river I can find. But given your injuries I think somewhere with warm water and soap would be best. We will certainly show this Gortash not to test you! But for now, let us find a Sune Temple to soothe our bodies and our minds - Halsin

Halsin, my friend-

If you say a spa day will do us good, I'll do exactly as you say. You are a master healer, after all. I trust your judgement.

I wonder if we'll get told off for playing in the water...?

Hmm.

See you, big man.

[telleroftime]

I'm feeling creative enough to come up with some Super Mario kingdom names but I don't have enough energy to properly delve into each one, sooo for now I leave you all with these basic ideas:

The Mirror Kingdom - A Hall of Mirrors inspired kingdom, covered in disorientating fog, off-putting orbs of light, and mirrors. Foreigners find it hard if not impossible to orient themselves and often end up lost within the bounds of the kingdom. It's home to oracles and houses the "Magic Mirror" that can show you the answer to whatever question you ask it. Tends to be greyscale in colour, and silver is the main resource naturally found there (playing onto that Silver Mirror thing).

The Warped Kingdom - Inspired by Minecraft's Warped Forests. Though similar to the Mushroom Kingdom in terms of the fungi, the Warped Kingdom lacks in any other similarity. It is shrouded in permanent darkness, the sky being blocked by thick clouds. All the light sources come from the glowing fruits and pools of popping orange lava that perfectly contrast the dark cyan of the flora. It's relatively cold there, and the species that made it their home tend to be docile until provoked. It looks like a thick jungle to outsiders and many don't attempt tackling politics with the various royal tribes.

The Soap Kingdom - being more alkaline that any other land, the kingdom thrives from it's basic water that turns lake algae into soap. It's main industries follow anything related to spas, and tourists are encouraged to indulge in the facilities provided. Traditional soap making is common and often used to show-off craftsmanship with all the intricate designs that can be etched into them. I can imagine the colours being like the blues and purples on the pH scale, and the traditional clothing being styles around those spa uniforms and tunics.

The Storm Kingdom - A kingdom placed within a tropical storm. For most of the inhabitants it rains all the time as the rainclouds spin above the towns and cities. The capital, placed within the eye of the storm and protected by the eyewall, is the soul place that experiences permanent sunlight. The high winds and lightning form their large industries. Wind power abd electricity, alongside things like "Lightning in a Bottle". Most foreigners have a difficult time reading the storm and crashland before ever reaching the capital, leading them to treck the rest of the way in foul weather. (If you've ever played Spiritfarer, picture the thunderstorm event and it's "Thunder Harvest" theme).

Now I return to lazing around.

🍎🍑🍓🍒🍆🌽🍪🍷🍟 for Edelweiss

(Even if I didn't see him on the list)

🍰🍪🍻🍕🥃 for Lazarus

🍇🍉🍓🍍🍩 for Galvus

OH EDELWEISS~ My beautiful bard disaster~

🍎: Do they share any features or traits with any family members? ....Aside from his Hag grandma~? Nah but he DOES look a lot like his mother- same hair, same eyes, but he has his father's nose.

🍑: What sort of traits does your OC look for in a Significant Other? Hmmmmm ..... I think he looks for someone reliable. Someone he can depend on and who can kind of bring him back down to earth.

🍓: Does your OC have any particular scents they like? Or hate? He likes like floral scents and he's not a fan of musks or other heavy, unpleasant scents.

🍒: Has Your OC had their first kiss yet? If so, with who? Edelweiss has had many kisses~ The first was probably after being taken under wing and trained by his mentor as a bard, so he doesn't remember who it actually was he kissed first. (Someone at a bar, probably. Can't go trying to kiss a mark if you've never practiced before....)

🍆: Does your OC have any favourite form of affection, physical or otherwise? Casual touches, for sure. After he lost his family,he didn't really have many people interested in being affectionate with a hexblood, and after THAT, affection was a tool to use as a bard, so it's nice to have it be a genuine thing again.

🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What’s their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional? Listen he loooooves affection. Maybe might get flighty if you come on too hard or heavy handed but sprinkled on? H-ll yeah. He really likes cuddles~

🍪: What is something that’s sentimental to you OC? His hurdy gurdy. It's something he got in his homeland and brought with him when he had to leave, so not only is it his most treasured possession, but also reminds him of home and his mentor.

🍷: What’s one of your OC’s pet peeves concerning food? Mostly when something is.... unnecessarily complex in a wasteful way? Like those completely fondant cakes lol. That and just.... not finishing food are his pet peeves

🍟: What does your OC admit to be their guilty pleasure? What actually is their guilty pleasure? Guilty pleasures? No such thing! He likes spas- hot baths and nice soaps. Rich foods and soft fabrics. But nothing is really a guilty pleasure when you're a bard with no shame~

Stinky Laz time lol~

🍰: What’s something your OC counts as unforgivable? OOF. Like.... Strahd and Kindness have already done some unforgivable things between treating him like a dog, making him kiss Strahd's boot, and forcing his submission to them (magically or otherwise) but he kinda EXPECTS that from them. If someone he actually TRUSTED or opened up to betrayed that trust or took his autonomy in some way- that bridge is 100% burned.

🍪: What is something that’s sentimental to you OC? Answered this before too but it's the barn! He likes having a space that's 'his' but isn't inside a house.

🍻: What’s your OC’s favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day? He shapechanges into a wolf and SULKS. If Laz has had a rough day he doesn't want to be near people and likes to slink off into the woods alone to go hunt or chuck rocks into the lake.

🍕: How does an OC spend a lazy day? 100% spends it snoozing. Just finds a cozy nook or a nice tree and sleeps for a while~

🥃: If your OC was in this universe, what would be their favourite show/book/band/social media platform? .....Bold of these questions to assume he's not some off the grid crust-punk lmaooooo.

Galvus, my weird little guy~

🍇: What sort of friend are they? Where are they in the group dynamic? He's kind of the mom friend? But like.... Non-conventionally. He'll let you f-ck around and heal you after you find out, but he's not going to stop you. But he's also.... very eccentric, so he'll go along with quite a bit lol~

🍉: Does your OC have a particular piece of jewellery that they always wear or refuse to part with? He has a raven skull clasp that he always wears, and a gold circlet with pomegranates and Lily leaves engraved in it.

🍓: Does your OC have any particular scents they like? Or hate? The smell of the earth, freshly rained on or dug up for a burial. He likes the herbs and oils used in preparing the dead for rest. He's NOT a fan of cloyingly sweet smells.

🍍: Where does your OC feel most comfortable? Alone in a morgue, working with the dead TBH. There's comfort in the solitude and he can relax and focus on care for the dead-no one's telling him he's doing something wrong.

🍩: What’s a crime your OC is most likely to commit? What’s a crime they’re most likely to get arrested for? (Did you ask this for Galvus bc we've already seen Laz get arrested in game lmao) I mean it MIGHT also be murder. If Galvus uncovered another cult, even if it was like, well established in a town or anything, he might not wait to go through "proper" channels and just merc them whoops~ (I'd say otherwise like, something with studying or mishandling corpses but like... he is VERY careful and delicate with that sort of thing)

Putting the "Wash" in Washington: Soap Lake

Among the local American Indian tribes there is a legend about an old woman who died near Soap Lake. Her people had to leave before the snows fell, and they did not have time to bury her. So they threw her body into the lake and continued on their journey. A few days later the old woman caught up with them. The lake water had brought her back to life.

Since prehistoric times, people have sought healing from the waters of hot springs across the world. Washington State has several, which is not remarkable, but what about an entire lake saturated with minerals like sodium, silicon, chloride, various sulphates, aluminum, potassium, and magnesium? That place is Soap Lake, in the northeast of the state.

The American Indians of eastern Washington recognized the healing powers of the lake when they drank its waters. In the summer and fall, members of many tribes gathered there, calling it Skokiam, which meant something like "strong" or "healing" waters. They camped there for days or weeks, gathering roots, racing horses, and socializing with their friends and relatives.

American settlers moved into the area in the mid-1800s. They found that when they swam in the lake, they floated more easily in its mineral-rich waters than they did in normal water or even in the ocean. And they were amazed to find that when washed their clothes, they did not need soap. The water formed suds and lathered when they rubbed their clothes against the rocks-and so they named the place Soap Lake.

Many settlers also noticed that although the lake was cold, they felt better after a plunge in its waters. They promoted the lake waters as a cure for rheumatism, arthritis, lumbago, and skin diseases such as eczema. In the early 1900s, several businessmen opened spa resorts in the area and piped in water from the lake for bathing as well as for patrons to drink. Some people gathered mud from the east end to coat the bodies of people suffering from joint pain. It may also cured a condition known as Berger's Disease, a cardiovascular ailment caused by exposure to mustard gas in World War I.

Soap Lake is not easy to get to, and over time the inconvenience made it less appealing. Today many people stop at Soap Lake only because they are on the highway headed to other places, like Grand Coulee Dam. Consequently, the town now has a somewhat forlorn look. The buildings are in good repair, but many display FOR SALE signs. Although some of the original resorts have been torn down, there are still plenty of others to stay: motels along the lake and several campgrounds and RV parks that hug its south and east sides.

In a bid to regain some of its former glory, Soap Lake took ownership of a fifty-foot-tall lava lamp and hopes to install it downtown. However, it is not easy for the town of about a thousand people to come up with the several thousand dollars needed to set it up.

Not a Washout

Soap Lake was formed over a period of several thousand years by a dramatic geologic process involving an ice dam that blocked the Columbia River, causing it to cut a channel through what is now the lake. The dam burst at the end of the Ice Age, allowing the Columbia River to flow in its present-day channel. Water still flowed into Soap Lake, however, though layers of basalts, granites, and other stone, carrying many minerals with it.

Over the last twelve hundred years, hot, dry weather evaporated much of the lake water, concentrating the minerals. These minerals divided into two distinct layers: The bottom of the lake is ten times saltier than the Pacific Ocean and cooler than the water on the lake's surface, making it too heavy to rise and mix with the warmer upper layer, which has a high alkali content. The healing mud at the bottom of the lake also seals the lake bottom, stopping minerals from leaching back into the bedrock.

Large aquatic animals cannot survive in the lake due to its heavy mineral content. It is home instead to algae, bacteria, and small crustaceans, which may be the key to some of its healing powers. It also contains a substance called ichthyols, created when the crustaceans in the lake die and decompose. Ichthyol oil is used in Europe as a salve for cuts, burns, and minor injuries.

In the 1950s, several engineering projects increased the amount of water flowing into Soap Lake, diluting its mineral content. The citizens of Soap Lake appealed to the federal government to have pump and well system set up to drain off the fresh water before it flowed into the lake, hopefully preserving its benefits for future generations of bathers.
