"You think that oversized butter knife is gonna scare me?"

[smolcatte]

Let the music play! I would dance away— Dance till the dawn of the bright young day! Wild notes are sounding—swift lights are glancing, And I—I am mad with the rapture of dancing— Mad with a breathless delight. With thine arm to enfold me, Thy strong hand to hold me, I could dance through an endless night.

🏮OBON ODORI FESTIVAL 2024

WHERE: [Coeurl] Doman Enclave WHEN: Saturday, August 31st @9PM EST

Friends and loved ones come together in this celebration of our ancestors, a festival of cherished memories and blessed times. We gather at the Obon Odori to celebrate with friends, family, and community.

We start our evening with the Segaki, a ritual to help repel the hungry gaki, pacifying their hunger so that we might celebrate in peace. Shortly after our markets open, during the open markets feel free to peruse our lovely vendors, enjoy snacks, and merchandise, and participate in constructing your very own lantern! Please listen to our honored guests recite their tales during our Storytelling then join us in the Bon dance, a celebratory dance. Finally, we take our lanterns in loving hands and head to the docks where we will set them afloat down the One River, sending our ancestors back to their slumber until the next time.

🏮 Currently seeking storytellers, fortune tellers, vendors, and volunteers to help run lantern construction. Want to keep up with festival announcements? Join our discord and sign up: https://discord.gg/etVHHBjtrb

28: Deleterious

   “...and so, the act of summoning Primals invariably has a deleterious effect on the land and its people,” Thancred concluded, marking the relevant passage in the tome he was translating aloud for Stasia. He watched as she finished her note-taking; as seemed to be her habit, her personal notes were in her native tongue, which was almost as good as a cipher, considering no one else could read them. “Any questions, my lady?”

   Stasia looked at him, tapping her chin in another habit. Her odd ears flicked slightly, and those glowing eyes were unsettlingly piercing. “How do you handle eliminating Primals when Star and Storm aren’t available? If their mere presence can dominate the general populace, there must have been a means to handle them before your pet hatchets came around.”

   Thancred barely managed to hide his flinch. It was, unfortunately, true: for far too long, the Scions had treated the Hellsguard duo, even Arenvald, like Primal headsmen. What was truly unnerving was how quickly Stasia had caught on. “Distance, primarily. You’re a longtime archer, so I’m certain you’re familiar with that. There is also cannon and magic.”

   Stasia’s eyes narrowed slightly. “But why use magic when it is an oversaturation of magic that causes this Tempering?”

   Thancred sat bolt upright, his hand still on the tome he’d been reading from. “I beg your pardon? Can you explain that, please?”

   “The oversaturation of magic? This is not common thought?” When Thancred shook his head, Stasia frowned. “Ah, I forget, you haven’t fought the Old Gods and their cults. I suppose the best way to phrase it is…well, imagine someone is in the same room as you. You can ignore them, they are simply existing.” At Thancred’s nod, she continued. “Say the other person starts waving at you. You take notice, but you can continue ignoring them. They begin whispering; it’s mildly annoying, because it breaks the silence, but still easy to disregard. Then they begin escalating, gradually turning to shouting in your ear.”

   “And the moment you give them any attention, the stranger wins.” Thancred crossed his arms as he thought about this. “That’s not quite how Tempering works here…that we know of. I suppose someone strong-willed enough could possibly resist, but that is not a gamble I would like for you to take.”

   Stasia simply looked at him. Her lips turned up in a ghost of a smile, and there was something unnerving in her eyes.

   “No. No, tell me you haven’t danced with a Primal, Huntmaster.” When her smile only deepened, and her giant glowing not-coeurl joined the staring contest, Thancred could feel a thrill of fear run down his spine. “Oh, seven bloody hells, you’re mad. You are absolutely mad. Who else knows about this stunt?”

   “Only you, Thancred…and as you are an intelligent man, I trust that no one else will,” Stasia purred.

Galahdian Culture Masterpost

People have been asking about a masterpost for my culture work (mostly Galahd, because let’s be real, that’s my baby), but I never started because working through 3 years of posts is one heck of a workload.

But in the face of FFXVs 6th anniversary I did the deed and sat my ass down. I did my best to catch all the tags and posts, but I can’t guarantee nothing fell through the crags. (Just as a tiny disclaimer.)

I’ll do my best to keep adding to this in the future.

So. Let’s get started! (I put it under the cut because this got kinda long XD)

[coeureina]

About || Izayla Bizemoux

Animal: Cat or Panther like, just like the coeurls. Her quick to anger nature but focus rivals that of the beastkin she rides into battle. She is much faster than most of her opponents and will sometimes keep poison on her nails for close combat interactions.

Color: Warm, earth tones are a common thing among Iza's wardrobe. A lot of red and browns with a touch of gold though she also fancies black.

Song: Phoenix by Cailin Russo & Chrissy Contanza

Number: Two.

Day or Night: Both however she prefers the golden hour, the seducing dance between the sun and the sky she calls it.

Plant: Jasmine

Smell: A mixture of Jasmine and Vanilla. She keeps her scent light enough for enemies not to be able to detect her but sweet enough to seduce.

Gemstone: Iza does not wear a lot of jewelry when she is out but for formal dinners and meetings she is seen wearing a mixture of emeralds and diamonds.

Season: Autumn. Something about the different smells, food and the rain that sooths her mind. She also has a sweet tooth for anything cinnamon and pumpkin based.

Place: Everywhere. A sky pirate that finds the beauty in all places but misses Thavnair from time to time.

Food: Iza loves a lot of Meat and pasta based foods. The way to her heart is definitely adding fish or mashed popotoes as a side dish.

Eorzean Deity: Though her religion is the Sisters as is her motherland, Iza chose Azeyma, the Warden, keeper of the sun and goddess of inquiry.

Eorzean Element(s): Starting from a Dancer to changing to Reaper the one element Iza still commands and uses in battle is Fire. She showed an affinity for it at a young age and kept her flame since then.

Drink: A sweet white wine vintage and all types of tea. She is of the belief of not getting so drunk to the point of losing her sense but she likes feeling nice. Don't mistake this as she is more than capable of drinking most people half her size under the table.

E'venna Zekiel

The Dancing Coeurl

"Not much to say bout me, really. Just livin' day by day, lookin' after my family. But hey, if you ever wanna sparrin' partner swing by the Pugilist's Guild! Or, or, if you wanna see a REAL good show stop by the Coliseum, my fight's tonight!"

Hello, and thank you for stopping by my blog! I'm Hazel and this is one of my alt characters for FFXIV. My pronouns are he/him, I'm an early 20's college student still trying to figure out what to do with my life, but I'm getting there!

I'm still very new to roleplaying but I've always had a ton of thoughts and ideas about my characters so this blog is both to help consolidate those thoughts and to also share them with anyone who wants to see them.

E'venna's Carrd cannot be found anywhere as I haven't made one yet lmao. It'll get done...eventually. The blog for my main XIV character can be found here however:

Hazel Kha

I'm situated on Zalera (Crystal) and spend most of my time either raiding or taking GPose shots, but regardless I look forward to seeing everyone around the great, vast star we find ourselves on.

About E'venna

E'venna Zekiel, eldest daughter of Eshaya Vant. After her father was tempered by Ifrit and subsequently killed, she took it upon herself to help her mother care for her younger siblings.

It wasn't an easy road to get where she and her family are now. Caring for her four younger siblings, including three triplets, was no easy task. E'venna began her "career" in Ul'dah in back alley fights, she's always been scrappy in a brawl. After getting into an impromptu fight outside the Pugilist's Guild she was offered membership, and upon joining took it upon herself to partake in Coliseum matches.

Her golden hair and nimble fighting style earned her the nickname "The Dancing Coeurl" from spectators. While some of her family members disapprove of E'venna's line of work she can't imagine herself doing anything but. She's found her place, and that's in the ring.

[smolcatte]

Dancer Stretches. ♥

[hazelkjt]

In as quick as her first match, Hazel had already succeeded in making a new acquaintance, and a new rival: E'venna Zekiel, The Dancing Coeurl of the Coliseum.
