If they ruled the world, you'd best expect: To get fat cause they gon cook and you gon eat.

Gurashi

Lantra bestows a very generous truefavour on Avaris (I actually don't know why, I forgot to ask ) and he prays to Her and asks that She take it back, because he feels he does not deserve it - And he is summoned to the Font of Wisdom for an interaction that is very intense, in a very different way than his encounter with Terentia.

This is, hands down, my favourite scene in Avaris' journey so far. Lantra (character and player) really shine, and show that they have such an intricate understanding of both Avaris, and Lantra Herself. Read it for Lantra's emotes alone, because they deserve to be admired. Works of art, every single one.

Penitence

Avaris

Warnings - Terentia

Terentia answers Avaris' prayers, and, well. See for yourself! It will be an absolute treat to read, due to Terentia's writing and being on top form, so please enjoy.

Warnings

Re: Lack of Raves VI: Rave Today, Tweet Tomorrow

I have tasted of Terentia's displeasure, and it was glorious \o/ OOC, anyway! That was one of the most satisfying and intense scenes I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of, and I am humbled by Terentia's ability to convey such a force of personality, with nothing but words. You are a masterfully skilled wordsmith, and I salute your ability with the art. I desperately wish I could have a way to write with you as regularly as another player, but gosh, you do the god role so well it would be a crime for you not to play one. I'm rambling, but, just. I am so incredibly impressed. I suspected that would happen, but the reality of it was far, far more wonderful than I could have guessed. Your Order are very lucky people. Kudos.

I also really appreciate the fact that She used the swords and not a zap - Very, very nice touch!

Re: Character breakdown

It's been almost a year since I've done mine, and, as tradition, I may as well update it! For fun, and for analyses.

ESEI SHEE-SLAUGH

THE ESSENTIALS

Race: yes (changeling)
Gender: yes (genderfluid)
Guild: The Auguries of the Dark Heart
City/Commune: Glomdoring
Order: Nocht

THE LOOK

Fur/Hair/Feathers: Usually reddish or black tones
Eyes: Usually black/very dark, with the exception of aslaran, which is gold.
Height: Ranges. Shortest form is 3', tallest is 7'6".
Build: Usually described as willowy and dancer-y.
Defining Features: Eyes (especially as trill, viscanti, faeling, elfen, wyrdenwood, and sileni), facial structure, hands.
Piercings: Most of their body is pierced, but they only put anything in their ears.
Scars: Some. You require at least friendship level 4 to unlock this knowledge.
Tattoos: Plenty, though their favored one is currently a black rose-infested ribcage.

PERSONALITY

Strengths: Can keep a secret. Generally quite deadpan/straight-faced. Is able to calm themselves down fairly easy from strong emotions. Patient.
Weaknesses: Shuts down when emotionally overwhelmed OR blow their top. Really a coin flip.
Attitude: Patience in all things. Moderation is the best policy.
Morals: Per real life standards, probably gray-ish morals. They'd do things I would consider abhorrent, and also things I would approve of. Follows the Wyrd in all things.
Pet peeves: Loud noises. Liars.
Best way to piss them off: Mostly? Lie to them. Judging them (and others) too quickly.
Best way to get on their good side: Tea time.

FAVORITES

Color: Purple.
Tertiary Skill: Healing or Dreamweaving
Primary Skill: Night or Crow
Location: annex of Wyrden Scriptures (it's so GOOD)

Drink: Tea.

MINDSET

Goals: Serve their Lord, the Lady, and the Wyrd. By whatever means necessary.
Ambitions: None, not really.
Nemesis: None, yet.
Rival: @Lief or @Elexia
Best Friends: None...?
Idol: Nocht. Viravain. Xenthos. Rancoura.
Proudest moment: Most likely, getting appointed as the first cree-Dae Hiua'zal in the Auguries.
Most shameful moment: Ohhh drinking the nochtquameld.
If they could make one wish: Well, you see, that's [REDACTED].

SUMMARY

Why you should hate them: Can probably finagle most people they know into divulging secrets.
Why you should love them: Tea time.
Why you should fear them: They don't fear you and probably never will.
Why they are harmless: Well. If you're wyrdenkin? Plenty reasons.
If they ruled the world, you'd best expect: Why in all of Creation would they want to rule the world for?

Call Me Karizma - Monster (Under My Bed): Monster, monster, under my bed / Come out to play cause I need a friend / You're so damn close I feel your breath / You're the only one I have left...

Zero - Leave The Light On: Made comfortable to put my blood / Sweat and tears to both of us / Give my veins another rush / Every time the work is f*cking done

Oh Wonder - My Friends: I lost my only space / To empty stares / Oh how the light would change / Like I was never there

Sickick - Mind Games: There's another side that you don't know, you don't know / I can't wait to get you all alone, all alone / Once I'm in there ain't no letting go, letting go / Watch me turn your mind into my home

Unlike Pluto - Everything Black ft. Mike Taylor (Dew Remix): Shadows fall over my heart / I blackout the moon / I wait for you to come around / You got me dancing in the dark

So it's been a while since I've posted in here, but I've updated my playlist somewhat!

LAYTO - Little Poor Me: I can sense you're trembling inside / (Oh, that spiteful face) / Certain things you just can never buy / (Things you'll always chase)

Ashley Serena - Lullaby of Woe: Wolves asleep amidst the trees / Bats all are swaying in the breeze / But one soul lies anxious wide awake / Fearing all manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths

MILCK - Devil, Devil: How quickly they do sell their souls / For the feast and the promise of gold / But devil, that won't be me

UNDREAM - Freak: Please, don't hide your imperfections nature / Took two tries to make the man in white / No, I don't mind, you are a beauty

Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am: I'm not your friend, or anything, damn / You think that you're the man / I think, therefore, I am

Billie Eilish - Copycat: I'm so sorry, now you know / Sorry I'm the one that told you so / Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, sorry / ... Psych!

Stella Jang - Villain (dongdang cover): We all pretend to be the heroes on the good side / But what if we’re the villains on the other?

Royal & The Serpent - Underneath the Mask (I do really like this WHOLE song, it was hard to pick just one line): Silently, I'm waiting / Underneath the stars.

Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide: Oh, I could throw you in the lake / Or feed you poisoned birthday cake / I won't deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone / Oh, I could bury you alive / But you might crawl out with a knife / And kill me when I'm sleeping

Besomorph - Sweet Dreams: Some of them want to use you / Some of them want to get used by you / Some of them want to abuse you / Some of them want to be abused

Glass Animals - Heat Waves: I don't wanna be alone / You know it hurts me too / You look so broken when you cry / One more and then I'll say goodbye.

Re: Lusternian AMA

Another day, another round of questions from a procrastinating Divine.

1. As a player, how do you like to celebrate in-game events to make them special?
2. When has Lusternia genuinely surprised you? Whether it's lore, or an event, or a player interaction that took a direction you didn't expect.
3. What is your favorite RP log you have and why?
4. Who was your character's first friend in Lusternia?
5. Any especially good Ironbeard gifts you'd like to brag about? Tis the Season!

I understand this thread hasn't been replied to in a good while, but I thought it'd be fun!

1. I generally don't 'celebrate' in-game events in general (unless you mean player-run ones...? Then I usually recognize whoever ran the event.)

2. It, and the player base (admin included in this), being so open and welcoming. I remember being really nervous to come out to people on Lusternia, being well aware that most of them were older than me, and expecting most, if not all, to refuse to or be unable to understand or accept my gender identity, much less gender me appropriately, even though Esei (at the time) was unable to be non-binary.

3. There's way too many, but... if I had to pick? All the ones with Lief, or the ones with Nocht.

4. Gurashi.

5. I legitimately don't remember. Probably something, though!
