the common fanon is that they met over the eight dead bodies of agatha's original coven. and it makes as much sense as anything else

I know this wasn't a prompt but. I'm feeling fic-ish after all the unfinished questions. I'm not fact checking anything against canon, buckle up and come along for the ride if you please. How did they meet.

Agatha is reeling. She's sobbing. She feels like she can't pull enough fresh air into her chest. She's on her knees, surrounded by the mummified corpses of her coven. Of her mother. Of the only family she has ever known. The only thing she can see through her tears is purple light. It's cracking around her, popping and sparking and warm against the cool New England night.

And when she lifts her head, there's a soft green glow in the distance. She blinks once, twice, and her vision goes from purple to green, with a face alarmingly close, wide eyes peering at her curiously. Surrounded by calm green light, she can finally pull in a full breath of the cool night air, and another, and another. And suddenly, she's breathing rather than sobbing. And the dark eyes are still on her, brow furrowed in concern.

Moments pass, maybe seconds, maybe hours, with both of them breathing in unison. Just... breathing. Remembering how to breathe. Learning, perhaps. For a moment, she thought she might have forgotten how. But it's coming back to her. She's coming back to herself.

The purple has calmed too. It's dancing quietly along her fingertips now. Her vision is clearing. The woman's eyes are still on her.

Agatha knows all the women in town. This one is different. Unfamiliar. Clothes of moss and bark that almost appear to be growing from soft flesh. The woman tilts her head curiously, and Agatha mirrors the gesture. "Who are you," falls, unbidden, from her lips.

The woman startles, as if crashing back to reality, the soft calm in her eyes giving way to something else, something, for a moment, almost skittish, as her gaze flicks to the bodies. But Agatha shivers, and sways, exhaustion catching up to her. How long have they been here?

All at once, the ground seems to be rushing up to meet her, but not as quick as the woman. Her landing is soft.

Sorry guys, I fell asleep! I’ll reply in a big oner: 

@questir replied to your post: hewwo i would like to volunteer as tribute---

!!!! Thank you!! I’d be happy to rp with you ;w; which platform would you prefer? Discord or tumblr or...? Also, this reminds me, my discord is kivaember#3411 in case people are wanting to add me for rp/fic/ffxiv/gaming reasons! I’ll warn you off that I do work most days of the week on twelve/thirteen hour shifts, so if I have long moments of silence, it’s probably because I’m at work ;w; (or asleep lol)

@dellebecque reblogged your post:There’s a pretty huge community for RP in XIV.. and quite a lot of them use discord!

Yeah, I’ve seen quite a few rpers on tumblr in the ffxiv scene, which has been nice to see! I didn’t know there was a big rp culture on discord though :o Thank you for the reblog!

@geckcellent replied to your post: can't edit and i entirely forgot in my 1st reply but discord rp is less funky than i'd thought tbh! though it's still massively unsettling that replies and stuff happen in real time and you like. know if people are watching you type it's so weird (1/2)  (2/2) the Good Ol Days of forum rp like proboards and forumotion n shit also had a pretty good system going! they're free and easy.,.. more or less.., to maintain esp. as a private group venue

I’m kinda used to that since in the very old days (like, well over ten years ago old oooof i’ve been at this fandom stuff for a WHILE) I used to rp on Skype and AIM. I actually quite liked it, because the conversations were saved, and it was very easy to edit your posts and you could write as much as you want in that unlimited text box. Forums though, hmmm, are those still around? I thought they started to die out nowadays when people moved to places like dreamwidth and tumblr?
