The Story So Far: Esei

edited July 2021 in Event Scrolls
So, I've seen more than one person putting up logs of their character's arcs (looking at Illyria, Cheliyi, and Rhalkyr specifically, quite possibly Gurashi and others, I am very forgetful! I'd 100% recommend going to check out their logs also, as Esei tends to be a key character.) So, I decided to do the same, but spanning from my first ever logs to ones I've collected now. Some of them may be double-posted somewhere else on the forums, but I thought it might be more prudent to collect them all in one post. I will also be excluding org, order, and guild secrets for... obvious reasons! I also do not appear to have logged a lot, though trust me my three brain cells are working at full capacity to remember everything.

Please note some of these earliest logs took place before non-binary genders were implemented! Others have been recently edited to be more legible and many have been renamed. They are (mostly) in chronological order.

Under the Willow - a novice (and laughingly naive, looking back) Esei and @Lief meet for the first time after Shashi's death.

Doubting the Glomdoring - shortly after the above meeting, Esei talks to @Gurashi and try to define the difference between mercy and patience.

Everything Will Be Okay - sometime after joining @Nocht's order, Esei heads to His fulcrux after a nudge in the Aetherplex. It's a very spooky encounter. (Takes place after Esei's Rite of Awakening)

Shower of Blackthorns - a few RL days after that encounter, Esei returns to Nocht's fulcrux (which is becoming a pattern...).

Potential - Gurashi and Esei talk again - this time about potential.

"A shame you will not save them." - Esei spooks @Elexia and @Coraline (with Nocht's approval, even!)

Rituals and Mysraisms - Esei speaks to Tonatiuh about ritualism in Gaudiguch and the Glomdoring and ends up with @Mysrai, the Shofet of Abyssal Scales, in their manse instead.

A Secret - Esei accidentally helps convert a Celestian to the Glomdoring, with Nocht. There are decapitated heads involved. (Still buying heads.)

silver and sable - Esei speaks to Elexia again, about their manse, and what they care for.

"You, however, have exceeded them." - @Rancoura questions Esei's doubts and self-loathing as they process her offer.

to be full of doubt - Esei worries about disappointing dad Nocht and being unworthy. His resulting pep talk is... predictably Wyrden.

Missing - Esei alarms poor @Nepenthe and gets a Talking To from Nocht later.

Esei and Ethna's Wedding - Esei and @Ethna finally got hitched! Too many of you guys to tag but I love every single one of you. Special kudos to @Viravain and Whoever may have been piloting Akuuko and Filib.

roadblocks - Esei returns with a greater sense of self-confidence than ever before (thanks to OOC efforts, go me!) and speaks to Nocht about Rhalkyr, their tasks for Him, and some worries said in His fulcrux.

Seren Child - Esei receives a letter from @Illyria via @Rhalkyr. They are intrigued.

Immoveable Object, meet Unmoveable Force - Esei helps Rhalkyr with his doubts. He really thinks he can out-stubborn them.

Heart's Home - Esei guides young Illyria on her path in the Glomdoring and the Order.

Reassurance - Esei helps Illyria with her doubts, too, as she moves through the Order.

"...the nicely Songs?" - Esei becomes sileni, gets teased by @Tikki, and then is drowned in flowers by @Lawrence who really IS naughty. They talk to Gurashi about it, after.

Fears - Esei contemplates Mother Night's liturgy against fear and what it really means. Filib interrupts, and they end up having an excellent, if mildly worrying, chat.


...That's a bigger post than expected! Will be keeping you all updated as Esei charges full speed ahead back into Lusternia. I know I've missed a LOT between joining and now, but hopefully with daily logs and saving each one, I will be better at it. Hope to see you all in the future.

  • Esei's grown so muchly. 

    ‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways.
    It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’


  • And you helped, Gurashi. <3

  • @Cheliyi has been struggling lately, more than Esei thought she'd be. So they try to help. And cuddle, a little.

    the same log, but with *jazz hands* thinks (also god this was. so wholesome. )
    Cheliyi squints. Hesitantly, she asks, "Does He need pants?"

    can still surprise... - Esei still doubts, but they're trying anyway. They also slurped some of His godrealm water because of course they did.

    "What really matters?" - Esei returns to Nocht's fulcrux, to think, and ruminate on events they have seen and missed, and on people to bully. Poor @Cheliyi will receive the blunt of it. (Much love for tolerating me.)

    Whoof, and that's a big post! Will be keeping you all updated as Esei charges full speed ahead back into Lusternia. I know I've missed a LOT between joining and now, but hopefully with daily logs and saving each one, I will be better at it. Hope to see you all in the future.
    You should've seen Alarin's response when you told them to look after their new niece, lol. Was basically "Ooh, a niece to spoil!" :D

    A giant panda bounds into view, flanked by a gargantuan gorilla clad in golden plate armour. They both salute as the vision fades.


  • "Then weave away, My little one." - After a period of radio silence, Esei asks @Nocht about an order-related series of events; He takes the time to explain some things to them and @Illyria... and then asks Esei to stay afterward to ask their intentions with @Gurashi and @Cheliyi. And, well, Esei isn't the type to lie to Gods.

    So, it's been a while, and I'm sorry if this is considered a dead thread, but I thought I might as well post my latest logs since July! The first one picks up immediately after The Wyrd and the Storms.

    "False Memory." - Esei talks to Filib about what he felt during the ritual on top of the Black Tower.
    Aesthetic Appreciation - @Xiran and Esei talk about the Shadowbeat.
    A Sense of Warmth - Esei shares tea with Elyd, the Nightcrawler, Glomdoring's latest ephemeral.
    Green Tea with Lemon - Esei seeks out @Lorina, who they believe is not what she seems.
    Testify Before The Conch - The Elders give the mortals a conch to testify against - or for - the Lady Li-varili.
    In Your Hands - @Nocht poses a question.
    Starlit Solace - Shortly after the Splintering of Li-varili, @Tikki asks Esei for moral support when giving Nocht a gift.
    Tarox in Dolphin - Esei gets a nativity reading from @Caoilfhoinn. Does it explain much?
    Flowers and Salamanders - Esei meets up with @Elexia after her long break. They talk about beasts, flowers, and something else.
    Blessed Cursed Trillium - Offerings both mortal and Divine exchange hands, much to the chagrin of Esei's mental state.
    Offering - Esei reaches out to Xiran about @Lisaera's supposed gift.

    If any of the links are broken just let me know.

    Potential - Nocht answers a question. Again.

    What do you mean I haven't posted anything in forever? Pshaw. >_>;

    Not much happened in 2023, truth be told. But I'll post what I can.

    Roles - Esei became Wyrden Haruspex of the Auguries, and talks a little to Nocht about it. You know how it goes.
    WORLD FORUM DEBATE TRANSCRIPT - A debate about Portal Metaphysics, posted here for posterity.
    Meddling - Shortly after the wonderful Darvellan returned, Esei spoke to Nocht about His Brother.
    Undeniable - An offer denied. ...Something about a lack of insurance coverage?

    [time passes...]

    Bespelled - Manteekan's an interesting one, that's for sure.

    [more time passes! I was eaten by life for a while!]

    Mirror - Esei talks a bit to Filib, but turns out, he was paying attention this whole time. Absolutely nothing bad can come of this.

    I should consider this! Though I know I don't have logs of most important things. Thank you for sharing these here on the forums :) .
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
