Everlasting Ever After

"...just go. There's nothing left for you here."

Sitting at the window's edge, Lililei stared listlessly out at the passerby below. The sun rippled through the clouds on this overcast day, and she found herself company to nothing more than regret. A well-worn mug was clutched in her hands. The steam drifted upwards; it smelt burnt.

She took a sip anyway. It had been a long time coming, but still the lalafell found that she wanted to feel his touch on her cheeks again. Her apartment felt emptier than it had before, and she swallowed against the bitterness going down. A frown made itself home on her face even as she fought it. To her surprise, she hadn't cried yet. No, there had been no tears when she realized he was drifting away, and there were no tears when she realized she needed to let him go.

It didn't soothe the nothingness she felt now, but it was as good a goodbye as she'd ever had. She could only wish him well.

The glass pane felt cool as she rested her forehead against it, a welcome respite from the staggering heat she must be imagining. Betraying her better judgement, she mouthed the words she had told him moons ago; I don't want to lose you too.

Honey eyes fluttered shut, blocking out her reflection. She knew the shadows on her face by heart, now. The truth of it burned, knowing the nights she had spent awake trying to distract herself from the mounting divide between her and Challa had taken their toll. Lililei felt powerless, a thought which scared her. Not once had she ever been brought so low. So why now?

It's because you're a lovesick fool, a cynical thought took her. Lost in what you had wanted, and forgetting what you needed. Always the same pattern, but now it's cut deep. When will you ever learn?

Her coffee made its way to rest on the bookshelf beside her. The hands holding it had been shaking, small drops escaping onto the floorboards. Why is it that she always ends up alone? Everyone she had known and loved had left. Was it that she was somehow unlovable? She certainly felt defective, at this point.

Oh, what a pitiful thought. Get a grip, she told herself, and stop wallowing; it's unbecoming and overdramatic. If she could not be loved, that was fine. She had never needed it anyway and lusting for what was beyond her design was a stupid move. She was whatever she would make herself into. The shadows under her eyes peeked out from trembling fingers, mirroring up in the windowpane. Lililei reached back, and told herself she would do better. She would be better; and she would find her own happiness again.

Five Lines and a Word

Sunset - Berriath

It was when she was searching through her bag for a cigarette that she realized she'd never seen the sun set. How long had it been? "Do you ever think about it, sometimes," she asked Aenc, "and wonder if you'll see it again?" The Galdjent found her lighter, watched the orange flame dance before her eyes. "I'd like to think we could see it together someday, the sunset."

Narrow - Lililei

She really hadn't thought this through, which in hindsight, was a very bad idea. Now she was trapped in this cursed hallway, the narrow walls feeling like they were closing in as the water flooded through the cracks in the floor. She had to think. There was nowhere to stand on that she could feasibly reach in time. So, the only other option left was to swim.

((Hey. Guess what. I've got a writing challenge, you get five Lines and a specific word to set up a scene, describe the scenario, and how your character feels. This was a lot better the first time I did it and it had three entries, but now I'm pissed and less concerned about the quality of the writing. They're good enough.))

The Ins and Outs of It

Something felt off when Lililei had gotten up that morning, sliding from the warm grasp of Challa'a. She couldn't quite put a finger on what, though.

Perhaps it was just that time of the month. Either way, she hadn't really concerned herself with it as she went through the routine. Easy but filling breakfast. Wake up the partner. Eat the breakfast. Change into day clothes.

Kiss the boyfriend goodbye. Grab papers and satchel. Grab the key. Call out well wishes as you wave.

She stepped through the door as she raised her hand, and something s n a p p e D--

Everything became nothing, a void of crushing emptiness that pressed into her chest and head, fogging everything and anything. She thought she heard something, a voice crying out to her very being, but all that was was an echo, a grim shadow of what had been.

And suddenly it as it came, it was gone and she was standing outside her apartment with the door open. Her stomach twisted.

The lalafell struggled to make sense of the dizzying whirl of sensation that had clouded up her head and wondered what exactly she'd drunk that night. Surely she shouldn't be so sick after a tiny cocktail, should she?

Warm arms pressed around her and she looked up into the worried face of her boyfriend. What happened?

She let herself ignore the fact she would be late if she let herself stay much longer, reaching up to cup his cheek. "Hey, hey, now… it's quite alright, darling. Come on. What's this for? Are you alright? Is something wrong?"

The last thing she expected to hear from the worried man was that she was gone in those scant few moments.

For three.

Days.

-

Despite Challa's questions, Lili found she was short on answers. All she knew was that there was suddenly a gap where there should have been proof of her memory, but all she found was nothing. Nobody had seen or heard from her.

After sending profuse apologies and explanations to her clients (most of whom, thankfully, were accepting of the "I have no idea what happened, I may have been kidnapped" way of putting it) Lililei tried to piece together what she knew and why it happened.

Unfortunately, with a scarce base to work off of, she really couldn't narrow her list down as much as she liked.

So she took to carrying her sword again. At least it was hardly an unfamiliar sight in Ul'dah. No more drinking for now, anything she consumed would be scrutinized with the care of one preparing a meal for the sultana. Of course, when it was your own life on the line, you would be inclined to take it seriously.

Still, she found no clues at to what was happening.

With a sigh, she dropped her dirtied shirt onto the floor. It was only a couple of days, but she grew anxious over what happened. Challa seemed on edge and worried, more suspicious than she'd seen him in a long time.

Lililei hated that she found she'd be lying if she said that she was certain he had no role in what was happening.

Slowly, she slid into the water. Challa was gone for now, at her insistence. Despite desiring his protection, the lalafell found she felt stifled, a sickness still growing within her.

She leaned back, closing her eyes as she let the scent of roses and apples wash over her. The red-tinted water ripped, welcoming. As comforting as it was, something eerie was swelling beneath the surface, a threatening blade of --

Emptiness, of lacking being, a swirling pool of knowing nothing but that she should feel desire, should be feeling something that gave her a ground. Something was calling out to her, but she found she couldn't care to answer it. It was cold here, but she didn't know what else was comforting.

Hands touched her shoulders as the fog fell away. There were no voices, but something was being wrapped around her. It was warm. The hands were shaking her as her vision flooded back, and the faces of Yayala and Ririeri stared back, both the picture of worry.

Quickly, Yayala reached for something out of her sight, jerky movements in the corner of her eyes. Her head hurt and her throat felt raw. When was the last time she'd had something to drink?

The object her neighbor had been fussing with turned out to be a notebook, and she turned it around not long after picking it up. 'How are you feeling?' It read, after a moment of heavy squinting.

"Fine," she said. Or tried to. She wasn't sure if it came out properly. Or more than a croak. It felt like a creaky gate that was rusted shut.

The other women shared a look. Yayala went back to her scratching. 'What happened? How long have you been in here?' the words said this time. 'The water is freezing and you were screaming'

She shook her head. Everything was so fuzzy… "Not long. No more than a little bells. I just…" Everything swam in front of her eyes. She felt sluggish. "I think I passed out."

That most definitely was panic in her cousin's eyes. She said something to Yayala, but Lililei couldn't make it out. Gods above, a nap sounded really great right now…

Hands shook her again. Her cousin was hurrying out of the room, but Yayala's stern gaze was on her. She couldn't tell what was being said, but it was insistent. Was it 'no' being mouthed? No what?

Ririeri didn't take long with whatever she was doing, as footsteps bounced around her shortly after. A bundle was in her arms. Ah. Clothes. It only now occurred to Lililei that she was stark naked on her bathroom floor. That was a little embarrassing.

Rousing herself and clutching at the towel, she swatted the hands away as she hauled herself into a sitting position. "I can dress myself, thankyouverymuch. Turn around." She groused, scowling when neither of them initially obeyed.

After a sigh, Ririeri has gestured for them both to face the window. With a little bit of privacy returned to her, she shouldered off the towel, sliding back into her clothes. It was difficult to do without standing up, but she wasn't sure whether she wanted to have fun with that just yet.

She looked up, opening her mouth to grudgingly tell them they could look now, when the world dropped out from under her. She didn't register hitting the ground, because there was no ground to hit.

Tea Meme?

Did someone say absurdly mundane things that you spent way too much time thinking about? Because sign me up.

Decided to do Lililei and Eloise, so. Lili's got Thanalan chai with lemon and chamomile for ~custom flavor~ and stuff. Eloise, true to her self, usually just drinks Ishgardian tea. In the traditional Ishgardian way. That flower is a daisy, and it's only because Arden was disappointed how... Plain her "special" drink is.

This Tea Maker can be found here! I believe the creator of this one is Utaka?

Russian Classics Aesthetics: Lililei

BOLD whatever applies to / attracts your muse.    

BROTHERS KARAMAZOV: orthodox monasteries, deep woods, starry nights, the sound of paper being torn, dimly lit rooms, withered roses, an unfinished letter, piles of books, the sound of shattering glass, ticking of clocks in a silent house, heavy wooden furniture, the air before a storm, the smell of earth, a crowd of people dressed in black, distant murmurs, emptied streets, the fear of walking alone in dusk

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: coldness of the skin against a blade, slender pale fingers & slightly shaking hands, a red stain blooming on white fabric, lonely steps in a corridor, the slow dripping of water, looking out of the window into the thickening darkness, a single dying candle on the table, listening to one’s breath & counting heartbeats, too many stairs, the desire to be invisible, a subtle memory of kind words

THE IDIOT: classical statues, wealth covered with dust, a dark house tainted with inherited madness, an unsettling feeling, long walks in a park, useless chatter, a silken ribbon forgotten on a bench, a melancholic face, an unexpected spring rain, the joy of reading one’s favorite book, the clarity of mind after fully perceiving the world around, looking at a cloudless sky

ANNA KARENINA: fields of crops, flowers brought from an early morning walk, the wind caressing a girl’s hair, a bowl of fruit, the smell of ripe pears, the clatter of a spoon against porcelain when stirring tea, children’s laughter coming from the garden, soft sunlight & white curtains, the sensation of velvet against skin, pearls from a ripped necklace spilling on marble floor, a sudden silence in a room full of people

WAR AND PEACE: a glass of wine, the brightness of  a crystal chandelier, white lace, a raging snow storm, the sound of a door being gently closed, the moment of holding one’s breath before walking in a ball room, indulging in looking at a beautiful earring against light, closing one’s eyes for a moment while dancing, the sweet smell of strawberries, a pair of gloves left on an armchair, the light scent of powder, andrei nikolayevich bolkonsky, gunpowder stuck on skin, smoke inside a burning building, the silence upon returning home, an untranslatable distance, the desperate lure of glory

THE MASTER AND MARGARITA: the chaos of a lively city, ambient jazz in an expensive restaurant, jumping on a moving tram, the sight of moscow from the roof of a house, yellow flowers in a vase, leaning out of the window, shelves stacked with books, a small tin box with old photographs, strange shapes in the night sky, laughing in the middle of the night on a balcony, colorful posters for a surreptitious magician’s show floating in the wind

EUGENE ONEGIN: a lonely mansion, reading a book in the parlour, a faint piano melody lingering in falling silence, long evenings, passing seasons, discussing french novels of the moment, unspoken thoughts, leaning against the door frame, a quickly averted glance, eating a peach absent-mindedly, bright mornings, footprints in snow, a loud gun-shot terrifying a flock of birds nearby

FATHERS AND SONS: a birch grove, morning mist, moss-covered stones near a moor, scientific books, white roses, cheap champagne, a shabby pocket-watch, light-hearted irony, a maladroit cello sonata, freshly mowed grass, letting thoughts come & go, a slow yawn, picturesque plates & bowls filled with traditional dishes, drinking tea on the porch

DOCTOR ZHIVAGO: a strange feeling of loss, writing poems in a diary, traveling by train, the hesitation before touching someone’s hand, the gaze of one lost in thought, the warmth of cinnamon, a scarf brightly embellished with flowers, a glass of water, a threadbare jacket, the tempting void, the evanescent serenity of yesterday

CHERRY ORCHARD: a lone chair in an empty room, falling blossoms, old samovar, the unsettling need for change, a mirror reflecting the full moon, the disappointment of a glossy object turning worthless after second glance, a piano out of tune

Just a Drop

Lililei woke up to a pleasant warmth radiating from under her, and she blinked the sleep from her eyes, letting her vision fall into clarity in the dim dawn light. She smiled.

She'd woken early -- or late, she couldn't really remember which at the moment -- enough that Challa'a was still asleep. She could lie here for a few minutes, enjoy the peace with him for a little while.

Time came soon enough to draw her out of bed, though. Hunger was a powerful thing.

Carefully, so as to not wake him, Lililei untangled herself from her boyfriend and the sheets, sliding off the bed. A cursory glance over her clothes decided she'd change after breakfast. And perhaps a shower, she thought, running a hand through her hair.

The lalafell slipped into her kitchen, opening up her cupboard and stared blankly inside. She needed to go shopping. Again.

Smacking her lips with a sway of her hands, she settled on pulling down some bread and a jar of jelly. Perhaps not the most elegant breakfast, but it would do.

Pros and Cons of Dating: Lililei

Pros:

Intense Devotion: While oftentimes the lalafell is initially flippant about caring for people, those who’ve found themselves in a longstanding relationship with her will find her loyalty knows little bounds. She’d probably be willing to commit treason if things went on long enough. Probably.

Affectionate: Dating Lililei ultimately means she has no qualms with displaying her adoration, leading to lack of shame with physical contact or endearing words. If drowning in honey is your style... she has plenty to give.

Expensive Gifts? What’s That?: Despite being born and raised in Ul’dah, Lililei, surprisingly, isn’t very materialistic. She doesn’t care if you come home with a handful of flowers or a shiny ring -- coming home is good enough for her. (Though if you /do/ show up with either one, she definitely won’t say no!)

Cons:

Insecurity. Intense insecurity: Unfortunately, Lililei has never quite been in any stable relationships. No matter how long they’ve lasted, she’s found that they end eventually and as such, will begin to wait for the shoe to drop. Made more prominent by her coarse personality, she knows that sooner or later, trouble will be coming.

Little Patience: Lili was graced with a fuse that was perhaps a little shorter than most. Oftentimes the little things with grate at her, making her tendency to snap at people all too obvious. Being in a relationship with her will undoubtedly lead to many a spat, whether it’s big or small.

There’s No Clocking Out: She’s more than likely been described as being married to her work in the past. You’ll find it difficult to get past her constant considerings of business.

Soulmark Color: Lililei

The color you fit most is Indigo!

Often mistaken for having a purple or blue glow, those who have indigo soulcolors are serious, confident, and strong willed. They know what they want to achieve and set out to do so. They are often introverted and seek balance, setting a strong moral code for themselves and others.

This type admires respect over adoration. They are often social advocates for those who need it and believe peace can only be achieved when everyone is working together, not just a powerful select few. This makes them powerful enemies but a powerful group of close friends, as their charismatic personality to do what’s right attracts people to them.

Since they are constantly trying to differentiate themselves from blue and violet soulcolors, indigo soulcolors are often less friendly and nurturing on the outside, but on the inside, they’re tender and supportive. They prefer to keep those who break their outer wall closer than most.

Due to their uncompromising sense of justice, the indigo soulcolor often starts arguments that might not need to be started, uprooting things just because they don’t like them or playing “devil’s advocate” when unnecessary. Despite telling others to get over it, they rarely ever do so and hold grudges for a long period of time.

At Lili's home, package would mysteriously appear, simply wrapped in parchment and twine. Attached would be a note: "HAPPY STARLIGHT, LILI.' Inside would be a small bag of snicker doodles, along with a macaroni art card of Lili and Helios and a Starlight tree. Yes, that is gratuitous glitter coming off it. No, it will not be easy to clean up.

For a fleeting moment, she ignored the copious amounts of glitter sprinkling off the card (and everything it touched), and wondered how in the seven hells he got her address. Another moment, and she realized she probably wasn’t hard to find, let alone have someone who knew her address.

That mystery somewhat solved, the lalafell now turned her attention to the curse now infesting her hands, shirt, clothes, and carpet. Helios, she appreciated you and liked you, but she was rather inclined to strangle him the next time she saw him.

She stared up at the little snowman lamp she set on the table, then sighed. What the hells, it was starlight. Lililei’d let it slide, just this once.

Wiping her hand off on her pants, she set the card on the table, sitting down and reaching into the bag of snickerdoodles, taking a bite and starting. That was… actually surprisingly okay. Good, even. She rolled her eyes up to the ceiling.

Would wonders ever cease?

[infiniteleftdoesffxiv]

💫 - do they believe in fate/propecy/destiny?

Eloise is a firm believer in “fate isn’t magic”, so while she does sort of believe in fate, prophecy and destiny is ruled out. Oh sure, deities and other powers and people can meddle all they want, but Eloise’s inclined to believe that a higher power doesn’t truly matter where that’s concerned – fate is just accumulation of choices, after all. Choices, and the lots you draw.

A bit different from Eloise’s view of things, Narua does indeed believe that fate or destiny or whatnot is indeed a thing. Does everyone have one? Not really, if you ask her, but there’s people who’re bound to end up doing something, or ending up somewhere. She’s a little more similar to her wife in the rest of it, though. You might end up doing something, or end up somewhere, because the higher powers said so, but most of the choices will be yours to make.

Lililei doesn’t believe in any of them. It’s all nonsense to her.

Tabitha, admittedly, tries to not think about it too much. Perhaps there is, perhaps there isn’t, and either way it’s a painful experience. If things were up to simple fate, she’s inclined to think whoever’s behind it is kind of a major dick. 

Nim also does not believe in fate or prophecies or any sort of destiny bullshit. Like Eloise, they think it’s all up to you, but wildly veering away from her thoughts on the subject, they moreso think that whatever happens it on you, and up to you. …yeah please don’t take Nim’s opinions or life advice at face value, it’s not good for you. Or anyone.

Clarissa does believe in all of them! A surprise! It’s not always the big things, though – sometimes, things happen. Maybe it makes you do something you wouldn’t normally do. Or maybe you behave perfectly in-character! Either way, sometimes something will go differently, and there isn’t always a rational rhyme or reason to it.

Sechen kind of does, though like… most of my characters, she thinks that how you react to it is a far more powerful force than destiny. Destiny’s destiny, though. You’ll end up there whether you want to or not; it’s just if you choose to deal with it that’s more important.

Henida goes through phases – sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t, sometimes he’s too deep into his work that he’ll start spouting utter nonsense at the question.

Yellow Dove also thinks it’s bullshit, but maybe a little less strongly about it than Nim… She falls far closer to being “eh” about it than they do, in any case.

Today I learned: …most of my characters don’t believe in fate or prophecy or destiny. Whether that’s because it’s in-line with their personalities and upbringings or a subconcious reflection of my own beliefs, I have no idea.
