Osseth's altered form reference has been completed!

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

Wo @ Osseth: (the snail carefully navigated around until he saw the Giratina) "Hello again! I hope you don't mind me being here! It makes one wonder - is this place your main domain, or do you live elsewhere? And would you like to join me for tea sometime?"

"Ah, hello once more! Tea sounds lovely, but you're confusion is understandable. Now that you say it, I probably should have shown people earlier, it is much safer then simply floating through the void." She said, a bit bashfully, "Now that you bring it up I feel a little silly for not doing it sooner."

"This expanse of the Distortion World is my entire domain, so long as it is directly connected to my home realm, however I do have a home!" She explained, "My personal quarters are within a large cave carved out of a mountain, but the area surrounding it also contains a structure that others are welcome to rest at."

"It contains a large, flat stone with an enchanted flame burning in the centre, and is lined with soft pillows and fabrics. It is where me and my siblings spend time when they visit me!"

"If you would like, we can spend time there and have a chat, I'm certain I have some tea's stored within my home. Kuiper, my brother, is a big fan of tea and drinks it all the time, so I keep some on hand mostly for him, haha."

Osseth's home has now been unlocked! All future asks directed at her will be answered here.

(Now you're not just free-falling through some random void.)

"Ah, well I'm quite happy you will strive to do better!" And relived that this pokemon wasn't actually hostile. Though his word choice did worry her. Why were those words the same in meaning? Was it a translation error? Or was something more sinister brewing in this pokemon's realm...

Osseth decided to focus on the current conversation for now. "Strange is a better word, yes. While I, or I suppose, we in this case, may seem strange to others, this does not mean we are wrong to be the way we are! We are simply different from the standard."

"At the current moment I have no plans on showing my 'original form', and in a way it is partially due to what you stated. This form is simpler to maneuver in and is much more approachable. Like this I can more easily interact with the world around me. Though, I suppose if someone was interested, I could show my true form."

[ @ask-valiant-victory ] Valiant @ Osseth: "Star-veiled? That sounds quite silly!" The fox happily smiled at her, his voice was as cheerful as ever but it was clear he had not a single clue what she was talking about. "You know you look quite ordinary for the offspring of something so monstrous and horrifying! Are you sure you and that THING are related?" He seemed to put an unusual amount of emphasis on the word as he spoke, "Perhaps this is some kind of disguise to hide your true nature? Surely you must be equally grotesque!!"

Osseth was a bit conflicted. The words, while undoubtedly rude and crass, did not seem to hold any real malice behind them. Was this way of speaking simply normal in this pokemon's realm? Were their creation trio and Arceus more forces of nature then living thing?

Though she wasn't a fan of him calling her parent a thing, she decided to er on the side of caution and politeness, answering the question with perhaps more gentleness then deserved, "You are partially right. This form is not a disguise, it is a true representation and expression of myself, however it is not my 'original form', to put it one way."

"While I personally wouldn't use the word 'grotesque', I do understand that my Abou is strange in comparison to what an Arceus usually looks like. Me and my siblings do look similarly strange, as that is our nature."

She paused for a second before carefully speaking again, "...I say this at the risk of sounding incredibly ignorant. While I understand realms may vary vastly from one another, I do implore you to be a bit more careful with your words. Your manner of speech may come across as a bit... rude and crass."

( @singularity-and-co Arceus @Metatarsus)

Arceus: Another of my kind. It is always interesting to compare the differences. Tell me, how does one such as yourself view your own spawn? Are they beings which do the tasks they are required to complete or fool around with their powers like careless children? And how do you keep control of them if they choose to abuse their abilities?

Metatarsus observed Arceus for a moment, mulling over the words in their head. Then, they responded in that same, earth-rattling voice.

"My children," They seemed to stress the word, "Have always preformed their duties admirably and to the best of their abilities. Errors that occurred were due to youth and inexperience, not outright malice. My youngest would overwork herself, my second would be a bit too lax in ruling, and my eldest would be a bit too distant from the people she tended to. However, all have grown and overcome these flaws. They have made me proud."

"What many seem to forget is that, despite their power, they are also alive in more 'baser' ways. Each have ample time for rest and play, and as such they are easily able to preform their duties, even over-preforming in certain instances. By their nature they do not, cannot, abuse their abilities. It is important to instill these ideas during their youth, after all."

Metatarsus spoke, plainly and simply, without any accusation or judgment in their voice. "In a way, these three are a trial for each Maker, a test, though they should not be seen as one. In my opinion..."

( @ask-sonicxpokken Shaymin Sonic @ Osseth)

“Woah! This place is something else! I can barely keep my footing around here, how do you even sleep?” He was laughing as he was floating around, enjoying the experience.

"Yes, the Distortion World can be quite disorienting to those unfamiliar with it." Osseth said, following behind the free floating Shaymin, ensuring he wouldn't drift too far into the void, "Luckily for me, not only am I perfectly adapted to this place, I also have no need for sleep!"

"I do, however, have various rest points scattered throughout my territory, islands where I can relax and rest if I so choose. While not needed, sleep can aid in recovering energy and clearing the mind. I indulge in it on occasion."

Carefully, she plucked Sonic out of the 'air' with her tendrils, holding him gently, "Now, while I am glad you seem to be enjoying yourself here, it is not exactly the safest of places. It's best we get you home as soon as we can!"

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

”I am curious..you look very much like a giratina ,yet so different ,may I ask why?”- @askatimegod

"Ah, greetings! I understand that my appearance varies from the standard quite a bit, so your confusion is understandable. There is a reason for this however!"

"I have previously mentioned Divine Epithets, however what I did not mention is that me and my siblings also have these epithets! Mine is 'Star-veiled' while Kuiper and Parcae are 'Moon-Veiled' and 'Sun-Veiled' respectively. These titles reflect on our appearance and our domains."

The sequel to this. He got a giant slice of cake in the end!

[ @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."

[watchful-lady-of-shadows]

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."
