#adara of the flame

Some art for @adara-of-the-flame of her OC Moon, the half Skeksis hybrid.

And a shot of her with her Urru twin, Mars. Weaving their music together, heehee.

[jeff-the-gnome-king]

It would be a long time before Adara crossed paths with Jeff again.

To be fair, she hadn't meant for time to get away from her. But, there was that whole, ending up on another planet thing, actually making children on that planet, and finding a way back to Earth. And, even after that, there was the time raising those children up past infanthood before she'd got the chance to take the trip in the first place.

--There was no way Adara was letting Mars loose on a colony of gnomes until she'd learned a little restraint when picking up small things.

Today, the snow fell between gaps in ancient oaks, and three people trudged along in winter clothing: Adara and two smaller girls who'd never been here before.

"I think we're almost here." The flame woman encouraged.

The smallest of the two piped up. "You sure you're know where you're going, Mama? I don't want it to be like in, Christmas Vacation, and we all get frozen from the waist down."

"We're not gonna freeze, Moon. Mars, you still got the pineapple?"

"Uh huh." Mars held up the fruit proudly. "How come we're bringing a pineaple to the middle of the forest?"

"Well, pineapples have always been a sign of hospitality, and the friend we're visiting hasn't seen me in..." Adara paused. "Quite awhile. Maybe too long."

"Long enough for him to be mad?"

"I don't know. I just...wanted to bring something nice, but unusual."

Moon glaced down at the object in her own arms. "What about this pie?"

"That's for all of us."

Luckily, the smells of exotic fruit and fresh pie were more than enough to catch the attention of sensitive noses. Much like cats, gnomes can scope a scene while deeply hidden in the foilage and not be detected.

The adult woman was recognized quickly and word sent out back to the still acting King of the Gnomes. It would be a few minutes but soon enough Jeff got there, and couldn't help the smile on his face when he saw her. He was quick to pop out of the foliage and into plain view, a few other gnomes flanking him.

"Well, well! Look who it is! Adara! Where did you wander off to?!"

He laughs, head tilting slightly as he noticed the children with her. Hardly blinking at the fact they were hardly as human as their mother.

"Ah! You've had a litter I see! Mazel Tov!"

Off-season at the beach was not known to draw many people. The chill sand and frigid waters were enough to drive most tourists away.

..Unless you were a tourist with a magical inclination toward warmth.

A red parisol, held by a woman in equally-vibrant shades of crimson floated along the coast. A light breeze ruffled her ink-black hair.

She was not alone. Two small individuals scurried around her like a pair of chicks to their mother hen. Both equally dark-haired, they cast strange shadows as pale sunlight cut trhough the drifting clouds over head: One was taller, bouncier. Unable to stand still in this fun, new environment. She also seemed to have four arms and a tail.... The other, was tiny, quiet, and was clutching a miniscule guitar to her chest as though she feared it would sprout legs and run off at any moment. ...She also appeared to have beak where her mouth should be. ((The Missmatched Quartett)) (sorry this is late)

Off Season. On Season. The beach never lost it's magic for Pearl. Ever since she'd ended up on the planet Earth, it was the landscape that had "spoken" to her the most.

It helped that as a Gem, things like temperature didn't affect her like it would most. So she too walked along in the cold sands, bare feet leaving a trail of solitary foot prints behind her.

It was with surprise when she realized others were on the beach, and it only grew as she neared and recognized the dark haired woman in the distance.

"....Adara...?"

From her behavior, he felt that his suspicions on her abilities being real too were accurate even before she confirmed it. That didn't do much for his anxiety though, but it was a bit of comfort to him to know that he wasn't the early one. Sure, Bruno had heard rumors of others, but he had never met anyone with abilities like him. People with other abilities sure, but never anyone like him.

Bruno was glad that someone else with similar abilities to him could also be surprised sometimes, even if it seemed like there were also differences in how their abilities worked. He had gotten judged a few times for getting surprised - it certainly wasn't easy on him with how harsh some people could be with their critiques, especially since they didn't understand what it was like to have his abilities.

"I appreciate it." Even if it wasn't usually the best etiquette. Bruno wasn't exactly the most confident person and he certainly do well with confrontational. "I didn't really know what to do. I've been told that I don't have the best way of phrasing things to people." It often caused issues, especially when it wasn't good news. His fear about how others react is part of what made him so anxious. "They get so persistent and then they get so angry."

A nervous chuckle escaped from him, as he fidgeted slightly - recalling all the angry faces he had seen over the years. She came across as much more sincere than he did. "No, I never have. I mean, almost everyone in my family has abilities. But, not like mine."

As if expecting his actions, she halted just a moment before he caught up to her. "Likewise." She wore a serine smile when she turned to face him.

Her eyes were...strange. The color violet, yes, because sometimes that happens with people with albinism, but...she didn't seem to be so much looking at Bruno as she was looking into him.

"I must admit, you were a surprise." She continued without prompting. "I knew I was supposed to come here for something else. I didn't 'see' you till you were almost in view." The stranger used, 'see' here in a way that implied she wasn't speaking of regular vision. "I'm surprised so rarely anymore, it's a welcome, humbling notion. Let's me know I'm not perfect." The last comment was made in pleasant amusment.

"Normally, I wouldn't interfere in a reading. I know it's rude to step in without asking, so forgive me for my breach in ediquite. Though... you were asking for help, in a way, weren't you?" For a moment, the stranger's gaze drifted back in the direction of the girl she'd spoken to earlier. "They just have to know, don't they?"

Her eyes moved back to the man in front of her. A bundle of nerves, inside and out, while she remained still. "I think I'll answer one of your questions with one of my own: You've never met another of your own kind before, have you?'

Is Sivith okay after seeing that flower?

I say things are going well :)

"̶L̶i̵t̶t̸l̸e̸ ̴R̴e̸d̵ ̵M̷a̴n̵?̶ ̴I̶s̷ ̶t̸h̵a̶t̵ ̵y̴o̶u̴?̷" The Shadow Queen cocked her head to the side. Surely this wasn't the tiny, red thing that defeated her...and, then released her again.

"Oh no! The queens watching... that means I've got to be on my-a"

"Best behavior! It's-a me, your highness, just-a showing everyone what I'm-a capable of is all~!"

A second screech and he was on the move, quickly coming unto the area in the forest where the infant creature surely was. Was it an animal or a more sentient native to the planet? Considering how wild the fauna was on this world, and the flora for that matter!, Maj could only speculate the type of shapes the "people" of this world would look like-

"Adara-?!"

Yep. There was his friend, that he had not seen in some time. Breastfeeding. Breastfeeding two very non-humanoid children. Honestly, seeing the flame mage in such a random ass corner of the multiverse was what really threw the alchemist off more than anything else. He kept staring at her for a few moments more before belated putting a hand up to cover his eyes.

"........uh....congrats on the kids...?"

"Alright....this definitely seems to be the place...."

The alchemist muttered as he concentrated on the little hand held device he held. It sounding almost like a Geiger counter as he watched the read out on the display.

"The energy read outs here are insane..."

He walks around, careful to not step on any of the tiny odd creatures he saw running around...

[ a character I’d consider rping. ] | Always Accepting

(( apologies for not writing a drabble for a couple of these; I'm currently in a state of mind to not write much cause of school and such. anyway!

a muse I'd love to RP (somehow) is Shan Yu from Mulan (the animated one, not the live-action remake (I don't think he's even in there; another character similar to him was in place)). Saw the movie the other day and it was really good! I really enjoy how he is an imposing presence among the people of China yet has little to no speaking lines. Also love the fact that he's intelligent and has immense strength, brains AND brawn! Not sure on how things would work given time periods and such, but I can figure it out. And I'd have to think if I actually WANT to write his character. will also write a drabble in the future if I feel up for it!

"Pft. Being likened to potatoes is one of the kinder ways to refer to dwarves...."

Hoggle quips softly as he gives Mars another look, since she once more referenced something no one in the fae realm would know. Though it's - his? - title sounded actually interesting. He adds asking about A Ring Lord to his little list of topics to talk with Mars about later.

For now, the 'prince' of Spring just braced himself for landing. And for dealing with more of his "brethren". Hoggle had a feeling it was going to be a very long week in Summer....

Didymus had found Scrabble riveting, just as he had in the good old days. He and Hickory got along as if no time had passed at all between them. And, better still, their skills at the word game hadn't dulled at all. If anything, the jackalope had gotten better! The little knight had had to really put his effort in to win against his friend.

All such good fun! Even with Yumika's distracted mood. The terrier wouldn't be one to speak ill of a lady, but privately Didymus half guessed she was put out she kept losing. Such a prideful fox, she was getting less points than even Dumpling.....

Hickory didn't have to do much more than make his approach before Didymus was sitting right up from where he'd laid down. Weapon already in hand as he looked around, single eye searching the immediate area and landing on the jackalope who'd awoken him.

"Where is the danger?! What rapscallions are upon us?!"

He asks, voice not even muffled despite having been dead asleep just a few moments before. His hat wasn't even on, revealing the top of his fluffy head.

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the stench of this terrible blog…bleck!”

(Late Valentine’s Day ask!)

SilSol whistled a sweet lil tune as he approached Adara from behind. All four hands delicately held and simultaneously hid a gift he had been working on for quite a while. He lowered his head to rub his cheek against hers. It looked like today, both halves were in complete agreement on something, seeing as the Urskek looked closer to his original appearance. Even with the swirls of wrinkles that his separated halves share still visible.

“Happy day of hearts,” he hummed before holding up the gift in Adara’s view. It was small compared to his hands, but it could be comfortably held in both of Adara’s hands.

The gift in question was a light pink, quart’s like structure with a red rose trapped inside. Magically preserved by the surrounding mineral and once loose petals meticulously arranged to resemble a flame. The quarts was vaguely shaped like how he saw hearts, with any imperfections left alone to be genuine.

“For you and your bright heart.” ~ kaiju-crimson-storyandask

To see Adara's eyes then...

No, to see her heart...

She kept it 'on' more often now, when it was just the two of them. And, it was aglow with radiance. Her warm cheek rubbed in open reciprocation against his.

"Oh, Sweet-heart..." He was 'Sweet-heart' now, to her. 'Dark-Heart' was a thing of the past. She took the prize delicately, like a fragile thing, like a newborn baby.

She eyed it carefully. So much detail. Organic. Inorganic. Arranged in eternal unity. Not unlike a couple of lovers.

Not unlike them.

Not unlike him.

"It's beautiful! I think...I think I'll put it right here." In the kitchen window. Where all the family will see when they gather, when they cook together. To shine on them all.

"I...I got you something, too." The flame woman admitted. "Though, I didn't make it." She pulled a smalish, hinged, velvet box out of her pocket. For months, Adara had searched, and saved. What she was looking for wasn't easy to find.

Inside the box was a heart. Strung on gold, perfectly cut with 59 sparkling facets. Pink tourmaline. Radiently pink, flawlessly clear. "I read pink tourmaline is supposed to calm anxiety and uplift moods. And, I always felt bad that you couldn't eat sweets durring holidays, so I thought....pink tourmaline light might taste sweet to you. Like candy?"

The heart on a strand already caught the light of the sun, reflecting a thousand tiny chips of pink.

Where's The Candy Gonna Go?

Okay, so, of all people Mario could be visiting on this day he chose a lonelier figure: The Shadow Queen! He thought that she could use a bit of company and festivity to brighten up her disposition especially after being woken up so suddenly. With a calmer demeanor after their world-ending battle and the few times he's seen her since then this should go well! Plus, everyone is dressing up so they should be fine walking around. Unless, somehow, she knew about Halloween and had decided to further dress up...

Besides, free candy! They would just need to keep an eye out for any offending parties who decide to ingule the "Trick" part of Trick-Or-Treat.

Aaaaanyway, These thoughts and musings once more brought Mario to the depths of Rogueport. Then to the mighty structure of the so-called Thousand Year Door. Even with her seal broken the latent power in the air was palpable. Mario always felt a pressure while here but luckily it wasn't viral like a few other foes he'd faced. In the spirit of the happy holiday Mario had dressed up: he was currently garbed as a Magikoopa. A blue robe over his body with a matching hat(not cap) that reached high above his head. He even had a wand! Though it was a replica it was made of the proper material. A good fake for a good costume. When near enough to the Thousand-Year Door Mario took a deep breathe, sack in his free hand, then he knocked upon it with his wand. Afterwards, he puffed his chest and put that air to use he had held in.

"TRICK-OR-TREAT!!"
