[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

[ @ask-a-silvy ] Shauna @Metatarsus: She started to wave to the titanic Arceus to get their attention, but paused as she took in their scale. Her paw rested thoughtfully upon her chin for some moments, before getting the idea to simply fly up close.

Sitting upon her broom-sized wand and seemingly unafraid of the unimaginable height she floated at, she waved with a smile at Metatarsus, scribbling the following note and showing it before their massive eye.

[Wow, you're very, very big! Definitely the biggest giant I ever met. So are you anything like Osseth? Do you look at your domain much like she does? What is it like?]

When Shauna held up the small sign, the Arceus dd not visibly react in any way. It remained still and silent, and did not seem to acknowledge her presence at all. Considering it's titanic size, this wasn't too much of a surprise.

The truth was that, in reality, Shauna had been showing her sign to the wrong eye.

Metatarsus' true eye, above the false ones in it's 'face' shone down on Shauna like a spotlight, nearly blinding her with the sudden glow. They inspected the small pokemon for a moment in silence before a powerful, rumbling voice spoke in her head.

"I see you have come to meet my daughter. Such is unsurprising, Osseth has always been more prone to wandering and exploring, greeting new acquaintances with glee. To compare us is understandable, but our domains are not exactly the same, though overlap does exist."

"My domain is my realm itself, life and death, creation and destruction, the world turning eternally. Time, space, and distortion all belong to me equally, and while I can manipulate these forces, my children are the ones who truly master it. I ensure my realms survival, along with all within it. I feel all that occurs, and watch over it dutifully. As such, I am always preforming my duties. This is the joy and burden of being a creator."

The full drawn references for Parcae and Kuiper. Their written references will be linked soon in the pinned post.

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

Osseth do you have siblings what are they like ?

"Yes, like most Giratina I have two siblings! Their names are Kuiper, a Palkia, and Parcae, who is a Dialga."

"Kuiper is the more laid back of the two, but both take their jobs equally as seriously. Each of their homes are the centre place for either lunala or solgaleo activity, and the place where their influences meet is where the majority of those species live."

"Generally they tend to stay within their own homes, overseeing their domains, but at least once a week we go visit each other, rotating which home we visit. We're all quite close!"

"You're free to visit them if you wish, but do be a bit more careful with your words. The recent incident has surely soured their moods. Especially Parcae."

-

Both Parcae and Kuiper are open for asks!

Ask hints will be updated soon.

(blueespeon) Anigi @ Osseth

I am sorry for asking this out of the blue, but may I know about your arceus? I want to know what this world's arceus is like and if I could meet them, perhaps.

"Greetings, it is in an honour to meet you! No need to worry about the sudden question, your curiosity is understandable. I'd imagine it only natural for you to inquire about the different makers you meet."

"My Abou is a brilliant caretaker, not of just their realm, but of their children as well! Me and my siblings spent much of our younger years by their side, learning and growing until we were completely ready to take on our duties. They would even make small realms for us to practice our abilities with no fear of injuring others."

"Due to their nature they occasionally struggle with understanding other realms, as ours is so complex that the relative simplicity of others catches them off guard. Never the less, I'm certain they would love to speak with you if you'd like!"

Despite the image shown being vast and intimidating, Osseth only had fond words to say about her parent. She clearly loved them very much.

"Ah, I haven't even told you their name! When you got to speak with them, ask to see Metatarsus. And if you do go to visit, tell them I said hi!"

Metatarsus is now available for asks!

“Apologies for intruding, I was curious to see more of these universes open up. Would you like some lunch?” The Dialga had a few celebi with him hold up a bento box that would be enough for a giratina.

"Oh my, thank you for this lovely gift!" Osseth said, thrilled. More food? Hell yeah!

"I agree, It's always exciting to see new worlds open up for visitors! My world is a bit tricky to navigate, but is beautiful in its spontaneousness. You and your little ones are always welcome to visit, so long as you are respectful of course."

"I must ask, is there anything in particular you enjoy seeing when visiting new worlds?" She held up the bento box with a grin, "I myself am quite fond off seeing how cuisine differs across realms."

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

Walter: It was probably like falling into the Backrooms(TM), a loose portal, was it? A sneaky one too, didn't even have time finishing his cup... All he did while getting up was staring at his surroundings and then the Giratina with the same, jaded expression. "........ Coffee?"

Osseth's head jerked back, startled. Tilting her head up, she watched as the rouge portal opened and a very non-legendary pokemon fell out.

She was still for a moment, bemused, before she flew forward, carefully (and a bit awkwardly) scooping up the Serperior with her tendrils.

As she scanned the nearby area for some place to set him, she startled at his offer of coffee and, carefully, she accepted the cup with a quiet 'thank you'.

She called a nearby island towards her and gently placed Walter on it, hesitating for a moment before offering "...Would you like some strawberry shortcake? And also some help getting home?"

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

VOID: “P… Pleasure to meet you… Osseth…”

He looks very nervous. Almost borderline afraid.

“Sorry. The… uh… the giratina of my world isn’t… they aren’t very kind…”

“Or forgiving…”

"Oh, hello little mew! It is a pleasure to meet you as well."

"You needn't be afraid of me, but I can understand your weariness. Not all Giratina are as approachable as I try to be. I hope that the Giratina of your world is simply that way due to their duties and not overtly cruel. I can understand being hard on outsiders, but being overly harsh towards your own people is something I have trouble understanding..."

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

(From @life-of-kalos ??? @ osseth) "You say your world has 'beasts' who can travel space and time? As far as I'm concerned, don't most universes have a Dialga and Palkia that do just that? But perhaps you are referring to different beings than those gods."

"Ah, yes, you are correct. In most realms it is only Dialga and Palkia with this ability. In addition to those two, however, my home realm has many creatures with the ability to traverse both space and time, albeit to a limited degree."

"I believe in other places they are called Ultra Beasts. A certain sect of these beasts are more powerful then others, and use their powers to travel through the many interconnected dimensions that make up the whole of my home realm. This is because these beasts are the offspring of those with the Divine Epithet of ‘Deified’."

"As an example, I will use two of the more common ultra beasts across realms. Hopefully you will recognize their names."

"For us, the species of Solagelo and Lunala all originate from two who are more powerful then all others. My realm has no major legends such as Rayquaza or Lugia, and as such these Deified Beasts fill this role instead. Solgaleo guards the sun, truth, and hearth. Lunala watches over the moon, ideals, and travel."

"They help in maintaining the realm within these domains, and so when they made their creations to aid in these duties, those creations were incredibly powerful in turn."

"Each species who are offspring of these Deified Beasts have a unique home realm, and will travel to and fro as they please by crossing time and space. This means that me and my siblings must be diligent in our duties to ensure that these 'paths' used by ultra beast populations remain clear and connected to our overworld. Any disruption would be disastrous."

"This is how my realm works, strange as it may be to others. I would not have it any other way."

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

Oh dear, despite her long life, Osseth really had little to no experience with eggs. Most of her days were spent roaming her Void and maintaining her realm, not looking after eggs!

Still, perhaps she could offer some comfort and suggestions?

"There should be time after the egg hatches to collect specific needs depending on species, that is true, but perhaps you could gather more general items beforehand?"

"I am not the most knowledgeable on eggs myself, but considering you live in a city there should be ways to gather such information, like a library, correct? Perhaps it would be a good idea to visit and see what is needed for a child to grow healthy."

She paused, thinking for a moment before tentatively saying, "Raising a child would be easier with the help of others. Is there no one you know who could help you?"

(@watchful-lady-of-shadows) Osseth had tried to fit in front of the camera, she really did! But it seemed no matter when she tried the camera and device it was attached to just couldn't capture her full form. Dismayed but not beaten, she decided to just stick her large head in front of it as much as possible. All the Sableye would see is her large snout and parts of her silver plates, but it would have to do.

“Hello!” she greeted with a chirp. “It’s been quite some time since I’ve spoken to mortal pokemon of other realms! I see you are taking care of an egg. I do hope the little one is well! I must ask, however, how is it you plan to care for the little one? Have you gathered the general materials necessary to care for a child?”

OF COURSE I HAVE! I GATHER FOOD FOR MYSELF EVERY DAY, I'VE GOT A NICE SAFE SHELTER, WHAT MORE COULD THEY NEED?

[Conny's smile drops into a face of contemplation, quickly turning to something of horror as he glances around at the dumpster he lives in.]

...

ACTUALLY... NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT...

I. MAYBE. AM. LACKING. IN THINGS. THAT I SHOULD. HAVE. GOTTEN. MAYBE. JUST A LITTLE. I...

DON'T KNOW WHAT JUNIOR'S GOING TO HATCH INTO. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT. EXACTLY. THEY NEED.

BUT I'M SURE I'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME AFTER THEY HATCH TO GET EVERYTHING THEY COULD POSSIBLY NEED!!!!

... right?

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

M riding on the long rapidash: would you like some strawberry short cake? using psychic to hold a giant strawberry short cake

"Oh, what a lovely cake! I'll admit, this particular type I haven't tried before, so I am excited to see what it is like."

"Thank you so much for this gift, I am sure I'll enjoy it!"

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

toot!

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

(@watchful-lady-of-shadows) “Ah, hello!” Osseth greeted Parisa. She only ever really interacted regularly with a couple other realms, so she was curious to learn more about this new world. And who better to ask than the one in charge of expanding it? “It’s been a while since I’ve met a Palkia other than my brother! Its always nice to see a creation trio who are close with one another.”

“Though I have noticed, your Dialga seems to be unusually stressed. I understand the worry of paradoxes forming, however the Reverse Realm is meant to correct the distortions in space-time, among other things. Is there something specifically he is worried about?” Hopefully it was nothing too big. Anomalies could be a real pain to deal with.

Parisa: I think Dagon saw a possible future where something horrible happens and I think he's working himself to death to prevent us from landing on that timeline. But he won't talk to any of us about it. Probably because he doesn't want to burden us with the same fear. Or maybe because he's worried telling us would set that future in stone.

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]
