A Whole New Wyrd

Cheliyi

Hello! This is going to be my first scroll, and it's of the fun little interactions I've saved about Cheliyi's adventures so far! Enjoy!

A Tree on a Cat --- https://pastebin.com/iPy8bWqu (Just cute cat stuff, honestly.)

</code>As Cheliyi enters her territory, a caliginous leopard utters a harsh, guttural snarl and stares unnervingly into Cheliyi's eyes&nbsp;

Unimpressed, the leopard huffs derisively and stalks away.

You have emoted: Cheliyi frowns, disappointed by a caliginous leopard's distrust.
(The Shadow Kindred): You say, "Cheliyi: i wanna pet the kitty :(."</pre>A Tree Worrying About a Goat ---&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://pastebin.com/rSDG2seJ">https://pastebin.com/rSDG2seJ</a>&nbsp;(Cheliyi learns that Someone is being rude to Gurashi, and makes a promise.)<br><pre class="CodeBlock"><code>You tell The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo, "Hello, Gurashi! I hope you have been well, and that you've fared better as of late. I'm sorry to ask of your help after rudely unloading my concerns onto you, but I find that you are one of the commune members I speak most comfortably with. Would you be able to help me with this next guild task?"<br><br>Gurashi's melodic voice sings into your mind, "** assent, softened with distraction - attending event, but will notify soon as come home! imploring for patience, a friendly hum **." <br><br>You tell The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo, "Of course! Enjoy your event!"<br><div>&nbsp;</div><div>You think to a mature rowan tree: Brother, I am unsure of how to handle myself now.
</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>You think to a mature rowan tree: Gurashi is quite the wonderful companion, and their demeanor puts me at ease, quite honestly. However, it seems that the family here does not consider them so wonderful.
</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>You have emoted: Cheliyi places a hand against a mature rowan tree, humming softly to herself as she listens intently.</div>

The Siblings --- https://pastebin.com/Wg4fJB5q (A bit of explanation about Cheliyi's mysterious siblings )

You have emoted: Cheliyi hums in agreement. "No doubt. Unfortunately my titles are few, but, that does not matter at the moment, I think. One step at a time." Laughing softly at some unheard joke, she glances once more at a mature rowan tree before smirking at Esei. "It is hard enough speaking to commune members, so I doubt I would handle an audience with the Hallowed well."
 
The ghost of a smile passes fleetingly across Esei's lips.
Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk says, "It is rarely so... direct."
Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk says, "Is the rowan being unkind?"
 
You have emoted: Cheliyi blinks, before bursting into laughter. "Unkind? N-no," she stutters in-between breaths, "Brother Rowan is simply... being himself. They are always a little snarky at this time of day."

Of Figs and Friends --- https://pastebin.com/BExL1Dky (Cheliyi returns to a Mugwump form and meets Akuuko, leading to Issues.) 

Quietly, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo says to you, "Uhm - well. Invited because, wanted -you- to meet him as well yes." They fold their hands together. "...but looked as if you had seen a ghost."
Softly, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo says to you, "...have met before? Maybe..."
 
You have emoted: Cheliyi grips her wrist gently with one hand, glancing back up at the figs. "... No, we have not. Perhaps it was just..."
You have emoted: Cheliyi purses her lips, before glancing at her feet. Her voice is softer, weaker even. "I was not ready to meet a new person?"
 
Gurashi listens patiently, lowering their other leg so that they settle on both of their knees, the top of their antennae just reaching your full height. "...that is O-K. New peoples are pretty scary. But." They pause. "You have met other new peoples - remember, Miss Yinuish? And, Miss Orventa..."
 
You think to yourself: **lies, lies, lies, a stark blue that leaves your throat clenching like saltwater has been thrown on your skin**.

The Family --- https://pastebin.com/n3xipwqz (A little tidbit about how a certain axolotl isn't exactly comfy with the idea of a family yet)

Esei tilts their head curiously at you.
 
Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say to Esei, "Oh, I'm alright. Just... that was quite a few people at once, again. A little more than I am used to."
 
Esei murmurs softly to themself.
A look of understanding crossing their features, Esei nods their head slowly.
Raspily, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk asks you, "Did you hear my question before?"

The Frog Tree --- https://pastebin.com/wtx03uat (Returning to her Wyrdenwood form, Cheliyi has a comforting chat.)

You sigh quietly, branches creaking with the weight of drooping leaves.
Like a gentle ripple in a crystalline pool, you say, "Well, that was fun, for a while, wasn't it brother?"
 
You have emoted: Cheliyi places a hand on a mature rowan tree, smiling weakly. "Like old times. Perhaps I should try it more frequently, hm?"

Filled With Bees --- https://pastebin.com/vY8YeYhF (Cheliyi goes with a Certain Buggy Boi to visit Akuuko again, and Learns Things. She gets angry.)

Gurashi looks suddenly to you, face lighting up as they smile brightly.

Faintly buzzing, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo says to you, "...ah! You are very kindly, yes you are." They continue again, chittering to themselves. "Maybe am crazy persons to admit. But. Things are probably going to be a little differently soon, maybe."
Faintly buzzing, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo chitters, "Feeling in my insides. Filled with ... bees."

You follow The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo north to near a statue of the Lady of Thorns.

Rather wryly, you say, "My insides are always filled with bees."

Losing Her Love (and panicking along the way)  --- https://pastebin.com/fam3UCzA (Getting angry has consequences. Warning for blood and hurt etc)

The Bower of Grasping Thorns.
The shadowy outline of a twisted forest casts a dark gloom here. Hand-long thorns pierce a cocoon of ebon silk, forming a bower of thousand-barbed walls. Between great gashes in the silk, a garden grasped in endless twilight is visible, its paths and trellises twisted with black rose vines. Long tapestries of cunningly-worked wool studded with black diamonds glitter in the light of a single wax-papered lantern hung from the centre of the arched ceiling. The air is thick with the scent of rotting petals and loam. Viravain, Lady of the Thorns hovers here, shrouded within an ambiance of unnatural darkness. She wields a wickedly curved scythe with both hands.

<b><i>There are no obvious exits.</i></b>

A Bleeding Heart in the Shadows --- https://pastebin.com/gsrxvuAG (The Aftermath.)

</code>Gurashi's eyes widen as they stare at you.

Khasur Stormcrow reaches out as if to place an arm around you then, as it is quite out of the ordinary for her to touch another, she holds back. "There, there."

In a low, nervous thrum, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo asks Khasur Stormcrow, "What happened?"

Khasur Stormcrow says, "Well. I was sent to ensure that you were whole and of sound spirit, and if you say that you are, then I suppose my task is finished."

You have emoted: Cheliyi blinks, before going very still. "Were... were you sent by Her?"</pre>Overgrown with Love ---&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://pastebin.com/dJkHEKQM">https://pastebin.com/dJkHEKQM</a>&nbsp;(Cheliyi gets answers and more importantly, comfort. A Nap is finally taken.)<br><pre class="CodeBlock"><code>A series of pure, crystalline notes sounds in the air as Gurashi steps smoothly into being.

You smile, lips creaking softly.

Gurashi stares at you, gaze softening and face filling with concern as they frown at you.
Urgent and soft, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo chitters, "Miss Cheliyi."
Faintly buzzing, The Basin's Friend, Gurashi An'Ryshe, the Crescendo asks, "Are O-K?"
Gurashi anxiously hop from one foot to the other, eyes wide.

---> It's been a long day.
You have set your accent to: Worn, like a weathered piece of driftwood

Worn, like a weathered piece of driftwood, you say, "No. Still, please, come visit?"

A Dull Blade (so much more dangerous than a sharp one) --- https://pastebin.com/qfe6iu63 (A chance run in with Caohite leads to some advice and a farewell)

The shadow of Caohite suddenly grows longer.

Wyrden Idolater Caohite Inseira, Umbrated Ivory says to you, "You are amongst your siblings again!"

You have emoted: Something pained flashes in Cheliyi's expression, before she nods with a smile.

Caohite smiles happily at you.

Adrien chuckles quietly to himself.

Wyrden Idolater Caohite Inseira, Umbrated Ivory says, "You have just missed a very large batch of elders becoming totems, but I imagine the song got a bit stronger."
Caohite nods her head sagely.

You think to yourself: **brown, sucking the green dry. it is so, so quiet.**.

Making Peace With Wyrds --- https://pastebin.com/5daV7N31 (Cheliyi talks to her brother, and stands by her promise.)

You hum softly, your leaves resonating with song.

You sit yourself down.

You have emoted: Silently, Cheliyi places a hand on a mature rowan tree, eyes dull. A brief look of pain crosses her features, but she keeps her palm there.

Worn, like a weathered piece of driftwood, you say, "... I know you are angry with me. But... I may leave, soon. Very soon."

Gurashi

Cheliyi is So Good.

Caohite nods her head sagely.
