TDM #6



ARRIVAL

It happens in an instant. A heavy weight in your gut, a trembling of your limbs, the world spins and you barely have time to register that you're falling before you lose consciousness. And when you awaken, it's not where you were last. Dark, unadorned oak walls surround you in a tiny room, the only furniture the bed you are currently resting upon, and the bedside table with a folded piece of parchment resting atop it that simply reads:

"The Tavernkeeper is awaiting your arrival downstairs."

As you exit you find others like yourself emerging from the surrounding rooms. You are indeed in a tavern, but there is no hustle and bustle one might think to hear in such a place. The only person down on the main floor is a humanoid figure wiping down the bar, who smiles when they see you. They're familiar, but not, and you can't quite place their face. For some reason, however, their presence is comforting and warm.

"Welcome, Visitor. I'm sure you have a lot of questions."

And you most certainly do.

Due to popular demand, the starter tavern and the drinks provided are available to in game characters via a portal accessible only to those with a faction gem.

DRINK MENU
SHADOW ELIXER an inky black liquid that seems to absorb light rather than reflect it. Grants temporary invisibility in darkness, but also makes the drinker whisper secrets unknowingly.

WIDOWS KISS A velvety red-black wine. One sip fills you with irresistible charm.

FOOL'S ECLIPSE A deep, glossy black drink with a golden swirl that never fully mixes in. Every sip tastes slightly different: sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, sometimes oddly salty for no reason at all. After one drink, the drinker's speech becomes hilariously jumbled, replacing random words with completely unrelated ones.

BLURBERRY FIZZ A deep blue liquid that constantly fizzess with tiny silver bubbles. When poured, the bubbles briefly form random shapes: sometimes a cat, sometimes a shoe, sometimes... a tiny screaming face (but only for a second). The drinker will also hiccup tiny, harmless floating bubbles for five minutes.

VEIL OF MIDNIGHTA crystal-clear vodka cocktail with shifting black, shadowy swirls that never settle. Causes the drinker's shadow to detach and do whatever it wants for five minutes.

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY

As the effects of your drink wear off, the Tavernkeeper speaks once more:

"It is time, my friends, for you to find your new homes."


You are compelled to walk through the only door leading out of the tavern, finding yourself not outside, but in a deep black, seemingly endless room with five portals arranged in a circle. As the last of you leave and the door closes behind you, gone when you look back again and replaced with nothing but that black void, three of the portals illuminate:

The first portal is surrounded by an almost blinding light, prismatic rainbows shining brightly in the dewy air outside of the tavern. A soft breeze may gently caress you, pulling you toward it. The portal seems to lead to a city in the clouds, airships and winged beings of all sorts soaring through the skies. Of the little bits of visible land, much of it boasts giant waterfalls that look like clouds melting into the land below. The portal calls to those who crave independence and freedom; and especially to anyone that wishes to find the strong bond of a family not forged in blood.

The second portal is encircled by a fairy ring of spotted white-capped mushrooms, the faint scent of damp stone and rich earth wafting from within the faint green glow. Peering inside, one can see a sprawling harbor city of gray-hewn stone, a melting pot of humanoid beings going about their day, and beyond, rolling green farmland and cottages clustered in small villages. This portal is destined for those who crave stability and solid ground beneath their feet. A simple life, an adventurous one, and everything in between can be found within.

The last portal is adorned with broken shells and torn seaweed, the glow of blue around it flickering like a dying flame. Beyond it, you see a city housed inside a massive bubble deep under the ocean, its once-grand spiraling towers cracked and crumbling in places, encrusted with coral and debris from the destruction that came before. The streets are bustling, but an underlying tension lingers. Outside the bubble, merfolk swim, but some still bear the scars of battle, and the deep waters beyond are darker than they should be, as though something still lurks in the abyss. A sanctuary in the sea, one that calls to those with a hunger for knowledge and a desire to aid in rebuilding what was lost. Or perhaps it is the mystery that beckons you, the remnants of a catastrophe yet fully understood that bids you explore it.
Upon following the pull of the breeze through the first portal, you are thrust into the beauty of a lively city that goes by the name of Heaven's Bow. Much of this main city feels exactly as you would expect on a city below, but there are clouds surrounding every direction you look. The walls of buildings are made with light-colored limestone, and buildings are generally built up to heights made even more grandiose by their position in the sky.

The Skyfall Docks are the first thing you notice, boasting hundreds of airships sailing in and out across the clouds with shouts that accompany a typical port city. Just outside is a fantastic market with goods not only from the other regions of Caldera, but from what some shopkeepers claim are other worlds--items sold or left behind by Visitors. Almost anything can be found in the markets if one is willing to look hard enough. Transport to other locations throughout the sky and even to the land or sea can be found here.

If the docks are too lively for you, you may instead find yourself roaming the underbelly of Heaven's Bow and finding brothels and gambling parlors filled with the promise of pleasure and fortune. The guild house for the Sylphs can be found here as well, giving out quests and training to prospective adventurers and guards alike--though none of them seem concerned with the illicit activities that surround them. Perhaps the freedom the Sylphs boast of extends to what others may deem an undesirable activity.

But most curious of all, you find a shimmering opal gemstone in your hand. When placed anywhere on the body, it will transform into a piece of jewelry with the gemstone set in the center.


If it was the second portal that called to you, you will find yourself in the busy city of Grey Ward, with its cobblestone streets and sturdy grey stone buildings. You are in the heart of the city, the Glass Market, so named for the colorful stained glass windows of the surrounding buildings. However, signs of destruction mar the once-thriving marketplace. Some windows shattered, stalls bearing scorch marks, and a few buildings reduced to rubble. The scent of cooking food still lingers in the air, but so too does the acrid smell of smoldering wood. Watchful guards keep an even keener eye out for pickpockets and opportunists in the wake of the recent chaos. Citizens go about their day, some with a newfound wariness in their eyes.

From here, one can investigate the rest of the city: the Sundown Docks, where both sea and sky faring ships transport people and goods, though repairs are ongoing in some areas. The Soot Spire, home of inventors and engineers, where efforts to rebuild have begun in earnest. The Hearthstill, the main residential area, bears the scars of collapsed roofs and damaged homes, with families working together to restore what was lost. The Downs, a smaller residential area for those with less means, has been hit the hardest, and aid workers scramble to provide relief to the displaced.

Outside the city walls, one can explore acres of farmlands to the east and west, or follow Terra’s Pass to the less settled areas, but take care. Past the Skyward Range, out in the smaller burrows and villages, the influence of the city guard diminishes quickly, and you’ll have to keep your wits about you. Bandits along the road are always a risk, and the wildlife are less controlled by regimented hunting.

In your hand is a gemstone, a brilliantly green emerald that, when placed anywhere on the body, will transform into a piece of jewelry with the gemstone set in the center.



If the last portal beckoned you through it, you find yourself within that bubble-covered city beneath the sea, the city of Salt Spire. Your ears pop with the change in pressure, and the smell of the salty sea fills your nostrils. All around you, buildings made of dark stone encrusted with coral and seagrass tower high above your head, but some are marred by cracks, with scaffolding and patches where reconstruction has begun. The backdrop outside the dome is a deep blue, but lingering shadows in the depths hint at what once emerged from below. People with gills on their necks and scales upon their vibrantly colored skin move with a determined purpose, their curiosity toward newcomers now mixed with cautious wariness. You have many options of where to visit in the city under the sea, but where oh where will you go first?

The Salt Spire Library is right before you, an impossibly large building housing thousands upon thousands of books of all genres. Fiction, non-fiction, romance and mystery and all between. You may even find books from your world and others! Oddly enough though, no Calderan history books are to be found, and if you ask for them, the librarians and locals all choose to ignore your questions.

If scholarly pursuits aren't to your interest currently, perhaps a trip to Bluetide Market would be more your style? The marketplace is host to every manner of shop one might ever need: artisans of all varieties, apothecaries and healers in the Shimmer Quarter, the most in fashion undersea clothing shops, food stalls, and all between can be found in Bluetide. There are also the Tideshore and Fogbottom docks on either end of the city. The former allows transport to the surface via large, magical bubbles for those that cannot hold their breath or make the swim themselves yet. The latter allows people to venture further into the sea. Those without their underwater abilities are offered rebreathers for travel that last for four hours before needing to be replaced.

In your hand is a gemstone, a shining sapphire that, when placed anywhere on the body, will transform into a piece of jewelry with the gemstone set in the center.

SOLEMN CELEBRATIONS
After the chaos and destruction, the people of Caldera come together to express their gratitude to the Visitors, whose sacrifices were crucial in summoning Vesper, the newly awakened star god. This event, though filled with warmth and appreciation, carries the weight of what is still to come.

In Salt Spire, the bubbled underwater city, the heart of the celebration takes place. The bioluminescent glow of deep-sea creatures lights the festivities, their soft illumination casting a peaceful glow on the gathering, even through the haze of darkness beyond. Tables are laden with treasures from all three cities—gifts of wood and stone carvings from Grey Ward, textiles and plants from Salt Spire, and intricate glass orbs from Heaven’s Bow. It’s a moment of unity, as everyone, native and visitor alike, celebrates their survival and the hope Vesper now represents.

Above the sea, in Grey Ward, a quieter but equally heartfelt celebration takes place. The city, normally known for its steady hands at rebuilding, hosts a gathering of its people and the Visitors who have come through. Lanterns hang from the buildings, casting a warm glow over the cobblestone streets. Music from the land flows through the air; melodies of hope, of survival, of community. The people of Grey Ward offer their craftsmanship, beautiful wood carvings, practical tools, and heirlooms passed down through generations. Their gratitude runs deep, though they know the fight ahead will be long.

Heaven’s Bow, distant and high above the rest, holds its own subdued gathering. The people here are quieter in their celebration, reserved in their gratitude. Though they were not as directly involved in the summoning of Vesper, their support is evident in the delicate glass orbs they offer, each infused with starlight—a symbol of their unwavering faith. Their contribution may be less physical, but their presence and belief in the unity of Caldera is no less important.

In Salt Spire, the people raise their glasses high. "To those who fought to protect us," they toast, their voices rising in harmony. The people of Grey Ward join, their songs and music a reminder of the resilience of the land. Even Heaven’s Bow contributes with their delicate, glimmering orbs. The Visitors, new and old, are welcomed with open arms, gifted with tokens of appreciation. No one is excluded, for their presence, newly arrived or not, is valued deeply.
VESPER'S REQUEST
But, as the celebration continues, an undeniable presence looms at the edge of Salt Spire. Vesper, a massive, shadowy knight, the star god born of the Visitors’ sacrifices, stands apart from the merrymaking, watching quietly. His form, still flickering with the remnants of his connection to Triton’s darkness, is not yet fully settled. He speaks to the crowd, his voice calm, though tinged with the weight of what lies ahead.

"I was born of your sacrifices," Vesper says, his gaze sweeping over the Visitors. "I will not forget what you’ve given me. But our fight is not over. The darkness that birthed me still lingers, and Triton’s influence has not been erased. We must prepare. I will stand with you, when the time comes. And together, we will face what threatens this world."

The mood shifts slightly, a quiet understanding passing between the people. The celebration, while still joyful, carries the undercurrent of an impending storm. Triton’s return is inevitable, and though Vesper has emerged as a beacon of hope, his power is still growing. He will need the strength of those who summoned him, those who sacrificed for him, to confront the coming challenge.

As the night wears on and the festivities continue, the people of Caldera remain united in their shared resolve. The threat of Triton still hangs over them, but for now, they take this moment to honor the Visitors—those who sacrificed so much, and those who have only just joined the fight—and to strengthen the bonds that will be vital in the days to come.

Vesper welcomes conversation, yet it does not come naturally to him. His words are brief, precise—always tethered to his purpose, the reason for his existence. And therein lies his quiet concern: that something is missing. He yearns to connect, especially with the Visitors—the ones who gave of themselves so that he could become what he is now. A new star god. The light meant to stand against Triton’s encroaching darkness.

He speaks with certainty: he is the good that Triton once was, the lost brilliance of a god now twisted by corruption. But he does not wish to be merely a reflection of what once existed. He wants to grow beyond the shadow of the past, to forge an identity that is wholly his own. And so he seeks help—not only in understanding what he is but in becoming something more.

"Find memories," he says. "And craft new ones with me."

Memories of Triton’s past linger in the world, echoes trapped in places of significance. These must be sought out, for they hold the key to understanding Vesper’s origins.
SPECIAL QUEST: ASTRAL ECHOES
Vesper seeks the Astral Echoes, shards of violet light scattered across Caldera, each holding a fragment of Triton’s past. To understand himself and shape his future, Vesper asks the Visitors to retrieve them. This special quest will last the duration of the TDM, and will reward 400 Bones when turned in.

MEMORY ONE: THE DESCENT:
Near Salt Spire, a Violet Crystal Shard hums softly in an ancient ruin. When taken, it pulls the mind into a vision.

Triton falls, a streak of violet fire tearing through the sky to Caldera, a barren wasteland below. He crashes, sending stardust into the air, his form radiant with light, deep indigo skin marked with glowing lines, and eyes burning violet. He touches the earth, rivers of light spread, and the world begins to take shape.

But he is not alone. Aella, the sky, sweeps through the heavens, breathing life into the winds. Cordelia, the sea, shapes the waters and the depths. Terra, the land, molds the earth, forming mountains and valleys. And in the shadows, another lingers, a distant vision, hard to define, their presence felt but not fully understood. Together, they craft the new world.

"There will be law where there is chaos," Triton says. "Light where there is shadow. Justice where there is none."

The vision fades as the Violet Crystal Shard is given to Vesper. He holds it, feeling its pulse.

"He did not come to rule," Vesper murmurs, "He came to protect."

The shard dims, its purpose fulfilled. Yet its memory lingers, a quiet ember.

"Caldera was formless," Vesper whispers, "And they shaped it into something just."

He lifts his gaze, something stirring within him—understanding or perhaps the weight of his path ahead.

MEMORY TWO: THEM:
In a cave deep within Ignacia's Cradle, a faint Violet Crystal Shard pulses softly. When a Visitor holds it, they are pulled into a distant memory—one of doubt and rebellion.

The world is young, full of light and order. Triton stands with his companions—Aella, Cordelia, and Terra—shaping Caldera. But in the shadows, something stirs.

A figure, hard to define, stands apart. Their form flickers between light and darkness, their eyes filled with uncertainty.

"This world was meant for something more," they whisper, voice tinged with frustration. "Why does it feel so controlled?"

Triton watches them, sorrow in his eyes, but they step further into the shadows, their form dissolving, lost to doubt.

"Maybe it should burn," they murmur. "Maybe it should fall apart and rise again—wild."

The Violet Crystal Shard pulses as the figure vanishes into the darkness, leaving only the echo of Triton’s sorrow: "They were never meant to follow the order. They were always meant to fall into the shadows."

The memory fades, the figure still a mystery, their true nature lost in the shadows of the past.
MEMORY THREE: THE EXILE:
On the broken cliffsides near Grey Ward, a Violet Crystal Shard lies half-buried in the earth, its faint glow drawing the Visitor in. Upon touching it, a vision fills their mind—Triton stands, his form radiant with celestial light, yet his expression is one of deep sorrow and rage.

A shadowed figure, barely discernible, is ripped from the land. The figure’s volcanic home follows, both hurtling into the sky. The moon is born from their exile, the caldera formed in the center of the realm all that remains.

"You cannot do this," Triton’s voice shakes with grief. "They were meant to shape, not to be cast away."

The figure fades into the distance, and Triton’s grief transforms into fury. "They were not yours to remove," he says, the words heavy with loss.

As the vision fades, Vesper holds the shard, feeling the surge of sorrow deep within. He breathes in slowly, understanding the weight of Triton’s loss.

"I was not meant to be a reflection," Vesper murmurs. The echo of Triton’s voice lingers: "I should have protected them."

The memory settles into Vesper’s heart, shaping his resolve. The past will not bind him; he must grow beyond it.
MEMORY FOUR: THE LAST STAND:
At the foot of Cordelia's tower, the final Violet Crystal Shard rests upon the weathered steps. It lies half-hidden, barely visible to the eye, as if waiting for the right moment to be found. Only now, as the Visitors approach, does it reveal itself.

Triton stands before Cordelia, his violet glow dimming as his power fades. The air between them crackles with tension, and his voice trembles with disbelief:

"You would strike me down, Cordelia?"

Cordelia stands tall, her sorrow evident but her resolve unshaken. "You leave me no choice."

With a final, desperate lunge, Triton reaches for the stars—the same stars he had once shaped—but they remain silent, indifferent. Cordelia’s blade pierces his chest, the sound of shattering power filling the air as Triton’s body cracks into violet shards, scattering across the land.

His final words echo through the vision, filled with regret: "Was I wrong?"

The vision fades, and Vesper stands on the steps, his hand still holding the shard. The weight of Triton’s question lingers, heavy in the silence.

Vesper’s breath catches, the sorrow of the moment settling deep within him. "He was more than just a fallen god," he whispers, his gaze searching. "He was a part of this world—his doubt, his pain. And it shapes me now."

The shard pulses one last time, and Vesper knows this memory is not just a reflection of the past—it is a part of his own journey, one that will lead him to forge his own path.
CHOOSE [HIS] DESTINY



When all shards are given to Vesper, he stands in silence, the weight of Triton’s past pressing upon him. Then, he speaks:

"I was born from a fractured god. But I am not him. The past shapes me, but it does not define me. So I ask you—what will I become?"

Visitors may influence his choice:

Option 1: Embody Triton’s Lost Virtues
Vesper embraces Triton’s virtues of justice, wisdom, and light, becoming a beacon of hope for Caldera. This choice grants him the strength of a god, with a deep understanding of the weight of justice. He will fight against the corruption Triton once embodied, drawing on the wisdom of the past to prevent its recurrence. "By standing for what is just, I will be ready to fight against what Triton has become."


Option 2: Forge a New Path
Vesper rejects the past, creating his own identity free from Triton’s shadow. This choice grants him freedom and strength, allowing him to reinvent himself as a new kind of star god. He will fight against Triton’s darkness, symbolizing the triumph of free will over legacy, and gaining the power to face both external and internal battles.

"I will not be a shadow of what came before. I will become something stronger."
Option 3: Balance Light and Shadow
Vesper accepts both the brilliance and downfall of Triton, walking the path of balance. This choice gives him the strength to wield both light and shadow, allowing him to understand Triton’s corruption and fight it from within. Vesper’s knowledge of both sides of existence will make him resilient in his battle against Triton’s darkness.

"I will fight with the strength of both light and shadow, knowing each part of me is necessary to stand against the darkness."


Once the Visitors make their choice, Vesper will stand in silence, the decision settling within him. He is no longer just the fractured god he once was, but something whole—ready for the battle ahead. Triton’s darkness still threatens Caldera, but Vesper is stronger, more prepared, and more determined.

"Thank you," he will say. "With your help, I’ve chosen my path. When the time comes to face Triton, I will bring the light he lost—or create something new to stop his darkness."

[With Vesper's awakening, shadow abilities have been unlocked for the Undine faction]
QUESTBOARD

Settled in? Good. It's time to make your way to the Questboard located in every city in numerous, easy to access locations. That is, if you want to make any kind of impact on the world or just get some Bones for anything you might wish to purchase. Visitors are given a very small stipend in which to survive every month, but all it does is keep you fed and housed. These quests will assure you greater wealth, and they're the main reason you're here: each finished quest helps the Calderans fix their shattering world.

Quests can be accepted at the questboard via magically signed parchment upon the board. Just sign your name to accept and the paper will be whisked away... somewhere. You're not actually sure. Probably nothing to concern yourself with.

Once quests are completed, earned Bones will be dropped off at the character's residence by Bonita, the mysterious artisan who has supposedly handcrafted every Bone circulating in Caldera. Please do not speak to her, she startles easily.
OOC NOTES
Welcome to Caldera's sixth TDM! All characters awaken in a strange tavern with nothing save the clothes on their backs, all of their powers stripped, and a piece of parchment directing them downstairs to the Tavernkeeper. There is a thread of all questions answered by the Tavernkeeper here, and if you have more, feel free to ask there for what would be offered ICly.

For OOC questions, please direct themhere.

To Choose Vesper's Path, please state which option you would like to choose here. prospective players are encouraged to weigh in!

Warden Commander Revas Tabris | Dragon Age (CRAU from The Games) | Undecided

[personal profile] bloodshots 2025-03-31 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
i. arrival

To say that Tabris was unhappy about being here would be both a gross understatement and a vast simplification of her current emotions. The tavern is nice, as far as taverns goes. She'd seen a lot of similar ones, and this one is at least in the top half of them. It looks clean, the bartender hasn't called her any slurs, and no one looks like a neon alien that's staring at her like she's the zoo animal here.

But she was supposed to be in...not here. Wherever Shepard's stupid portal was supposed to take her. Somewhere that wasn't Panem or Thedas. Which... this place was, she supposed, but it was distinctly medieval, like Thedas, and not like what Shepard had described at all. And her powers were still missing.

But it wasn't all bad. She'd accepted whatever weird shit the bartender gave her, eager to either get trashed or murdered or whatever else could happen. Instead, she watched her shadow fling itself away from her, with an eagerness that was, quite frankly, rather insulting, and promptly start hurling shadow candles, shadow chairs, and making a variety of fascinating and rude gestures.

She watches it with a detached air of amusement, watching the shadow of the candle go flying, and is glad that shadows can't start fires. "Well, paint my ass and call me an Orlesian. I thought I'd seen everything."

ii. quest board

It had been a hot minute since she'd had to do these, but she remembered the format pretty easily. People put up notes about their issues, you solve them, and you get paid. Easy as.

Except, it's not easy as. There's one thing that Tabris is missing, that she had, back in the old days. Which leaves her squinting at the quest board, eyes slowly going over the requests, until she gets bored and turns to the nearest person, and points at one of the quests at random.

"Hey. Do you want to go on this quest with me? Think we can do it?"

iii. the market.

"Look, it's simple. I want an axe, but I need it to be big. Really, really big. As big as I am." Helpfully, Tabris puts a hand up next to her head. It's not tall for a person, though it's a bit tall for an axe. The Grey Ward merchant seems to think so, at least, as they don't seem to have anything that meets that requirement, nor do they see the need to be able to do so.

"I--Listen, you never know what might happen. Bad shit goes down all the damn time. Didn't y'all just have a whole issue where shit went down? What you're gonna want, when that happens, is a big ass axe. Or at least, you're gonna want me to have a big ass axe, because then I can hit all the issues with it."

Gadriel's normal MO in situations like these (obvious newcomers demanding weaponry of the merchants) has simply been to...buy it for them. Transactional exchange is stupid, but that's how it works here and he has the currency and knows what it is like to want a weapon in a dangerous place and be denied one.

But they do not have what this woman wants, it seems. Not that there's anything wrong with a war axe. They are fine weapons. Very gratifying to wield.

And unfortunately, as Gadriel has learned from experience, not all problems can be hit with an axe. If only it were that simple. "They are still recovering from a recent...happening." Whatever you called a natural disaster that wasn't entirely natural in origin but the result of the demigod/captors of this place and their sorcery. "The forges might not be working yet." Or they might be being used to make repairs.

"Is there another weapon you can use in the meantime?"

Gadriel | Warhammer 40k | OTA

[personal profile] thecodexabides 2025-03-31 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
i. Solemn Celebrations: Heaven's Bow
For those just tuning in: Gadriel...has had a rough few months. His armor is currently depowered, but he's wearing it anyway, because he has come to realize that this is part of his penance--to wear the full weight of his armor, resisting every movement. He trusted the machine spirit of his armor, and should never have doubted it, never have questioned its wisdom.

But unlike everyone else here, it knew him. It knew his world, and it knew right from wrong. On his battlebarge, no brother ever had to bear anything alone--there were other brothers, or the chaplain, or the apothecary--an entire ship of those striving and suffering alongside. Here, he was alone and he had tried to rely on others, to fill those gaps, and it had--

--it had been a mistake. There was no true brotherhood in this place. So he bore the weight of it reasonable good grace, using it as a reminder, with every movement, that he had fallen and that every word, and every gesture, needed to be done carefully, with full intent. Maybe then he would relearn his way. Alone.

He looks at the glass orb one of the civilians handed him idly. He takes it, because it was offered, and listens to them prattle on about how it was a symbol of their 'unwavering faith'.

"Faith," he nearly spits. "Faith is nothing without action." He remembers how most of Heaven's Bow crowded to watch the earthquake, and none had joined him as he had leapt into the fray.

Solemn Celebrations: Grey Ward
His 'home' has galled him--he keeps the orb because his tressym might enjoy playing with it--so he finds himself back in Grey Ward. Something about the destruction from the earthquake is, if not soothing, then at least familiar. Most of the ground Ultramarines walk on has been the land of ruin, broken buildings, stained with loss.

These people have lost so much, so when they offer him thanks, he accepts them. Many of them saw him (he was hard to miss, let's be honest) during the aftermath, lifting parts of buildings off of the injured, carrying people to safety. It was not the honorable work of his vocation, but it was needful and he had the skills to do it. Most of them had been terrified of him then. They seemed less so now, possibly because of the slower movements. Possibly because when the terror of the earthquake had left, their faculties were less crowded.

When you run across him here, he is being offered an ornate woodcarving, some sort of round disk with animals and a geometric design on it. The man keeps holding it toward him, insistent he take it.

"I cannot accept it," he says, shaking his head. They had lost everything. He would not take from those who had so little to give, for merely doing his duty.

ii miscellaneous run-in time

Gadriel allowed himself an hour a day without his armor, running through the woods near where he slept, clad only in his bodyglove, carrying a combat knife. It wasn't that he felt he deserved any freedom or relief, but simply that he knew that humans could learn, in time, to endure anything, and he, faster than others, so he could quickly have become accustomed to the resistance of his armor. But that hour of freedom was not about the freedom, but the last five minutes, when the awareness would tick on him that it was almost over, and free and unfettered speed and motion was over, and he was consigned to close himself in his penance again.

He hunted, and if he caught nothing, he did not eat.

Catch him outside, how 'bout dat? Or, feel free to run into him during his daily hour of freedom, either doing something gross like eating a dead animal raw (because what is cooking?) or just be scared the hell out of the 9' monstrosity running around with a combat knife who probably also smells really bad right now. Penance is not close to cleanliness.

Also, he has Elion, his tressym kitten to take care of. Little orange Elion (of course he's orange) spends most of his day in Gadriel's helmet, magna-clamped to the space marine's hip, but sometimes he likes to practice flying. Maybe you get a face full of flapping orange kitten? Maybe Elion decides part of your clothing looks like a fun toy?

iii Vesper quests.
[OOC: Pick a Vesper Quest and I'll write a TL for it! Let's get them BONES! I just have decision paralysis which one to write. ]

iv Other quests

[OOC: all other quests are also viable--if you want me to write a header for you for one just PM me!]

v: Let's make poor decisions!!!

Gadriel does not drink: human alcohol does next to nothing for him. However, if you want, he could easily be cajoled into the Tavern. Just be warned, do not suggest playing a drinking game with him, unless you want to have a drink thrown at you, then the table thrown at you, then the Tavernkeeper himself thrown at you, then half of Grey Ward thrown at you, etc. He does not enjoy drinking games.

Quietly, but with sharp eyes, Viktor assessed the damage to the man's armor. It looked pretty significant, though he certainly wasn't an expert on such things despite his origins. For as long as he could remember, violence was part and parcel to the fabric of Piltover — a constant, seemingly endless cycle that ground all under its unforgiving wheel — and it distressed him that this place was not immune to it either. Was there truly no end to mindless conflict? Could there never be a way to solve disagreement without discourse?

He exhaled shortly under his breath, grateful for the distraction when the man spoke. Was Viktor eavesdropping? Maybe.

"What comes first? Action or faith?" Eyeing the glass orb briefly, he flicked his gaze back up — and up, wow — to observe the armored man, curious. "Personally, I think faith can inspire action. You can't have one without the other, can you?" It was an open-ended question rather than a statement of fact. Viktor knew he was probably splitting hairs a little, but he'd always enjoyed a good debate. And maybe he needed a distraction from everything else cluttering his head right now — images of home, of smoke and fire, that drew weary lines across his face.

Jayce Talis | Arcane | Sylph

[personal profile] fatalis 2025-03-31 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
—arrival ; 1.
Familiar — that was the word Jayce had been attempting to find since his arrival. The similarities hadn’t been immediately apparent but the longer he was here, the more he thought he felt it; that distant, needling tragedy ate at him the same way it had in that decaying world he had been thrust into by the anomaly, loneliness and desperation and terror.

Flinching, Jayce blinked away the sprawling fields of desolation that crowded in, that tugged at him. The pain remained, the flash of a headache so bright and piercing that he still felt it in his teeth long after it had passed. There was no getting used to that sensation — how it tore at him like every version of himself to ever live flew in every opposite direction in an attempt to avoid the fate that awaited them — but Jayce could breathe through it now and that, he wanted to believe, was progress.

Jayce hated that word.

But it was progress, as was his finally getting up and looking around. The dread sank in right after, because this place wasn’t familiar enough and he needed to figure out what was happening. The mysterious note might have made him laugh, once, but Jayce didn’t laugh as much as he used to anymore. Instead, he tried to make himself look presentable, fingers combing through his hair, and he slipped the note into his pocket as he opened the door to the room.

Startled by the sight of the other doors opening as he stepped out, Jayce looked for a familiar face and he took the stairs down two at a time in spite of the ache in his leg, still in pursuit of that goal. He’d only paused at the sound of the voice. Jayce asked his questions though the answers hadn’t fully sunk in as he took the drink he was offered. Far from a drinker, he took it to be polite more than anything, but he sipped it, also out of politeness, as he wandered through the tavern.

I feel guilty when I throw anything away,” Jayce found himself whispering. “I… uh, sorry,” tumbled out of him right after, though he hoped whoever he was standing near hadn’t actually heard him.

— solemn celebrations (heaven’s bow) ; 2.
Jayce had taken the orb when it was offered, holding it protectively in his hands as he turned it over. It was beautiful, captured starlight contained in glass, and he wanted to ask how, the scientist inside of him always trampling over social cues to get to the heart of things, but this time? This time he bit the question back. Listening to the stories of those around him, he felt the sting of the word sacrifice sink in between his ribs.

An uneasiness sat heavy in the pit of his stomach, but Jayce did his best to mimic the gestures and lowered his head in some kind of reverence. Faith had always been a complicated thing for him, tied up in hopes and dreams and the belief that there were things that were out of his hands. Jayce was afraid of not having a choice, of being on a path he couldn’t change. If that were true, it meant, if he ever left, that he was destined to force the world to that same bleak future, and Jayce didn’t want to be the root of more suffering.

With trembling hands, he cradled the orb and tried to find inspiration in the light it contained instead.

“Do you know what happened?”

— quest board ; 3.
Eyes darting over the board, Jayce was almost overwhelmed with the amount of postings. He had wandered in the direction of the quest board when he’d heard people discussing it earlier in the hopes of finding something to distract him from the thousands of unanswerable questions that nagged at him and the nervous energy that kept him from really sitting still. Jayce had always preferred to be active, busy, occupied as a way to keep his racing mind in check but he hadn’t expected so many of the postings to be fascinating enough to consider.

It helped, too, that Jayce was just eager to be helpful, to do something right for once.

“Catch the wind?” Jayce had to admit that the idea of that was intriguing. It seemed so simple on paper but there was something curious about the wording, the simplicity, that made it impossible to resist. Jayce wanted to try, if only to satisfy his curiosity. Jayce chuckled, reaching out towards the sheet of paper. “This is probably stupid, but we should do it.” What was the worst that could happen?

Well, here was the guy to crush that scintillant inspiration trying to simmer in your heart: Gadriel. All nine feet of overpowered Emperor's Ultramarine, holding the glass bauble in front of the tressym perched on his shoulder, for the little orange kitten to swat at. That's how much he cared for these decorative displays of 'faith'.

"Do you want the official version or the reality of it." Because he could do both.

Viktor | Arcane | Undine

[personal profile] hexstrapper 2025-03-31 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
arrival

Viktor is certainly confused when he wakes up somewhere unfamiliar. As he speaks to the tavernkeeper, his mind races, trying to make sense of it- did he fall asleep in the lab and get transported somewhere else by the hexcore? The tavernkeeper explains everything patiently, despite Viktor’s endless questions. Unfortunately, they can’t seem to tell him the specifics and logistics of inter-dimensional travel, which is a shame, but there is one particular answer that does comfort him.

He’s offered a drink, and at first he refuses, but after sitting there for a bit, he decides why not. “Surprise me,” he says, without much enthusiasm, and is served something very dark with a swirl of gold in it. Viktor picks up the glass, swirling it right in front of his face, curiously examining the golden shimmer.

Perhaps drinking this strange liquid is a bad idea, but he hasn’t got much to lose anymore, so he takes a sip. His face curls with disgust- oh, so bitter. Why would the nice tavernkeeper serve him this? But upon a second curious sip, it’s sweet. Hm? Well, he must try another, to keep the experiment going, and this time it’s salty. Hmmmmmmmmm…

If you’re near him, he may be peering at your drink as well, seeing if it’s the same as his. He may also be watching your face to see what your reaction to its flavour is, yet he doesn’t say anything.

salt spire

Viktor chooses the undine portal- of course he does. He has a drive to uncover life’s mysteries and make advancements that will help people, and it’s not like that drive completely disappears in a new world, despite his disorientation and current air of hopelessness. Salt Spire seems to have seen better days- something terrible must have happened here. Based on his deductions about the rubble, there was probably some kind of earthquake. However, the place is amazing- he’s never seen anything like it. An entire city underwater? How does it work?

While he’s not very mobile these days, he can’t help himself from wandering around. Perhaps you find him staring at some of the healers helping someone with a minor injury, in awe of their hands aglow. Perhaps you’ll find him at fogbottom docks, looking entranced by the magical air bubbles used to transport goods and people. Or perhaps you’ll find him in the library, where he feels most at home, hobbling around the stacks or with his nose stuck in a book.

He spends far too long at the library, because of course he does, and by the time he leaves, it’s dark and he’s exhausted. It seems he overdid it with all of this exploration and study, and he stops on the street, coughing violently into a handkerchief. A wave of dizziness hits him, and he sways on his crutch, looking around for somewhere to sit down. Seeing a bench, he stumbles toward it, though he could probably use a hand to keep him from falling.

vesper’s request

At the celebration, Viktor is distracted by the shadowy figure on the edges of the crowd. What is that?! Eventually, the giant shadowy man speaks, but what he says is still so vague that it seems like a riddle. He turns to someone nearby, pointing at the star god, speaking quietly in confusion.

“Who is that?”

questboard- accessibility?

Eventually, the gaunt man can be found at a questboard, leaning heavily on his crutch and reading intently, stroking his chin in thought. These all sound very interesting, but he’s unsure if he’ll be able to physically do them. After reading for a while, he sighs, looking to whoever else is also browsing the quests.

“I would like to help, but all of these seem to involve a lot of… Travel.”

Just looking at him, it’s obvious why he’s concerned- he wears a brace on his leg, has a limp when he walks, and looks generally weak and tired.

"You look like shit."

It's said cheerfully, without much bite to it, and accompanied by Tabris sliding up next to the guy, grabbing his arm with the solid strength of a lifelong warrior. The guy looks like he weighs about as much as Tabris' axe, and she's pretty sure she could pick him up if necessary -- though he'd probably look down at being swung around like her axe.

She'd come down here out of pure curiosity, to see the underwater bubble. A kind of magic like she'd never seen before, in Thedas or Panem. It's very interesting, enough that she'd been walking with her neck craned up, and it was only the chest wracking cough that had caught her attention to the sickly-looking man.

"C'mon, buddy. I gotcha."

Drift | Transformers IDW | Dryad? OTA

+ DRANKS +
Don't ask how, or why, just accept it: but the Tavernkeeper's drinks do apparently work on Cybertronians.

You thought Gadriel was a Big Boy? Drift has him beat by...a lot, at nearly the maximum height (he's 14'7"). But he bears the fact that everything around him is squishy-sized with good grace, scrunching himself into one of the booths, and probably gouging the furniture. Not intentionally, but he is made of metal. At least he chose a seat without upholstery?

The only problem is, he can't decide what to drink, so he's staring at the menu, indecisive. Maybe you can help?

[ooc: I am up for ALL Silly Drink Shenanigans with Drift--you decide!]

+ QUESTS +

Drift kneels down by the quest board. This was hardly the weirdest place he'd found himself in, but it was a change from what he had expected: exiled from the Lost Light, he'd expected a penitent journey, but people here seemed, well, focused. And apparently they needed help. He's particularly looking at one labeled 'Cleanse the Infection'. That sounds right up his alley. "Do you want to?" Because who could refuse a perky exiled Autobot?

"I could get us there faster, but," a shrug, "my t-cog is malfunctioning, apparently?"

[OOC: feel free to hop on that quest, or suggest another one!]

+ Assorted +
Drift is curious, so feel free to have him poke his head into whatever you're doing. Humans and basically anyone non-Cybertronian are weird little novelties, who are endlessly fascinating. Like...what are clothes? How weird. He might be staring a bit, and if you find huge robots staring at you intimidating, he will apologize!

Six raised an eyebrow up at the giant robot that reminded him far too much of Rex's full robot form for comfort.

"Your what?"

guidingnight: (pic#17761929)

melinoë 🌙 hades 2 (potential spoilers)🌙 undine

[personal profile] guidingnight 2025-03-31 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
arrival;
She had expected, as always, to return to the Crossroads upon failing in her excursion to the Underworld. So what a surprise it would be when she wound up in a tavern, sun filtering through the window, and a note left at her bedside. Bedside? Far more plush than the bedroll she usually rested on in her tent.

It may have been a test, she thought, from the Headmistress, and could not find reason enough to question the note. So she stood, and almost immediately felt... lethargic? Like something was missing.

Her weapons, for one, and something deep in her soul. A connection broken that she couldn't quite place. No matter — she would just do what she always did. Find a way through and continue her task once this one was completed. There had to be a reason for it. There always was.

Melinoë was short, adorned in a saffron colored dress, feet glowing orange and leaving little flaming footprints as she walked through the tavern. Her left arm was ghostly green, bones visible but still, somehow, functional, and her eyes were a mismatched set. She sat at the bar, the offered drink she was given accepted without much protest.

"This is very—" she hiccuped, bubbles floating up from her lips, and blinked. "—odd. Excuse me."


solemn celebrations;
She did not know Vesper, but the tall, imposing figure on the fringes of the celebrations felt so familiar. A creature of the night, searching for purpose, burdened by the past he did not know.

She was staring at him, on the verge of approaching when a small child approached and handed her a pot with a glowing, seaweed-like plant buried in blue green sand. She took it with a smile.

"Thank you. I will cherish it."

And as the child hurried off excitedly, Melinoë turned to someone nearby. "Do you know how to care for plants such as this?"


astral echoes;
"Come." Melinoë, who would usually be more than willing to go on such a quest herself, approached another nearby without hesitation. "We should find these shards together and retrieve these memories for Lord Vesper with haste."

"Where would you like to begin?"


quests;
i. catch the wind.
Melinoë's flaming feet cut a clear path through the grass she and her quest partner arrived in the meadow. The wind sang through the trees, brushed past her cheek. She looked up, awestruck by the sight of spring around her, the smell of it in the air, the feeling of grass beneath her feet. She almost forgot what they were doing. Almost.

"What do you think will be done with the wind, once we catch it?"

ii. goat any leads?
Talking to animals? Absolutely count her in. Melinoë took the potion from the witch — and then stood there asking questions about how she made it for several minutes. You will have to convince her to leave.

"And what, mistress, did you use to concoct this? Lotus?"

iii. models wanted... again (nsfw).
While not her usual sort of quest, Melinoë saw no harm in helping the shopkeeper display her wares, and was soon walking onto the runway in a set of lingerie. She was no professional model, but she walked tall and confident regardless, clearly unashamed of her body despite any imperfections. When she returned to the back for another set, she smiled at whoever caught her eye when she looked up, a swell of heat curling in her belly. Odd.

"Hello. Are you here to join the show? The outfits are quite nice." Arachne would have loved to work here.

Maybe a little hesitation would have been in order, but nonetheless, here he is. And the day Gadriel turns down a quest is a day he really needed to be questioned because something would be very much Not Right.

"There are some locations that would be difficult for mortals to access. Perhaps we should avoid those." Unless she could breathe underwater or endure the temperature near the volcano.

angotas: (pic#17737442)

aemond targaryen — house of the dragon — undecided

[personal profile] angotas 2025-03-31 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
ARRIVAL
Aemond eyed the cup of dark, glossy liquid he was handed with a dubious look. As a prince, he'd been raised in a castle with only the finest wines and ales at his fingertips, and while he didn't often overindulge lest he let his guard down, he was no stranger to sampling rich food and drink — and apparently, this didn't meet his ridiculously high expectations. Who could have guessed. Lifting the cup, he sniffed its contents first, and his whole expression contorted. "Even my brother wouldn't drink this," he said to himself, as though offended by it. Still, he was nothing if not painfully aware of what custom dictated. This was a guest right, and to refuse an offered bit of sustenance could very well end his tenuous escape from his own world.

With renewed determination, Aemond steeled himself and took a sip. It tasted vastly different than it smelled, which came as a surprise. But the second taste turned sour, and he made another face, pained by the entire experience. "Surely this is a puppy," he said, except he'd meant to say test. Strange. "Parrot," Aemond tried again. His nose wrinkled. "Poop." Wonderful. Now he'd been cursed. What was the custom for that eventuality? Annoyed now, and desperately clinging to that rather than his mounting confusion, he turned to the person nearest to him and shoved the cup at them apropos of nothing.

"Here." He stared expectantly. "You try it."
VESPER'S REQUEST
It might have surprised anyone who knew little of the Hightower name, but Aemond was deeply religious. He'd grown up kneeling beside his mother's skirts in the Sept, living his life by the teachings of the Seven and praying dutifully every night. This Vesper resembled much of what he knew the Warrior to embody: strength, courage, resilience. And yet, he offered his help so readily. He was grateful. That wasn't right. The Gods made demands and exacted their due from all, sparing none. They weren't known for bending to the will of the people.

Not realizing that he'd been standing at the back glaring at Vesper through his speech, Aemond jolted slightly in surprise when he felt a presence come up behind him. "Strange, isn't it?" He said, attempting to school his expression and play it cool. "That a creature so powerful would all but kneel at our feet." There was a slight tension in his voice, something that inched closer to uncertain than he wanted to admit. Perhaps this sight had actually rattled him.

He didn't want to think about it.
QUEST BOARD
Never in Aemond's life had he imagined himself becoming a sellsword of all things. He'd trained relentlessly alongside armored knights, tried and tested warriors who rode into the heat of battle for oaths — not coin. And yet here he stood, rudely shouldering his way through the eager throng of people hungry for work, a stony look of resignation on his face. Anger was a constant companion of his, something that easily masked the fear clawing up his throat. There was still no sign of Vhagar, no hint of her broad wingspan passing overhead, no rumors of missing livestock in the area. His stomach was in knots as he scanned the board for clues that she might be here, jaw set tightly.

"Ondossa jorhakēlāt?" Aemond muttered to himself, voice dripping with derision. It was difficult to focus on the words in front of him when he was still being jostled by the ever-increasing number of people crowding in for a look at the hundreds of slips of paper. He hated being forced into tight spaces, particularly with his limited field of vision, and Aemond was beginning to feel a cold panic creep up his neck. He was just about to round on the next person who elbowed him when a voice sounded.

Tabris had been raised in the slums that all elves were stuck in, and where most alcohol was whatever fuckery the guy down the street had fermented out of whatever he could get his hands on. Panem had offered a much wider variety of interesting and tasty food, of course, and had probably spoiled Tabris' poor taste buds. But it didn't change the fact that she was perfectly willing to drink whatever weird shit this rambling man couldn't handle.

Normally, she'd be a bit sore about having random things shoved at her, but alcohol? "Don't mind if I do, my guy." Without any qualms, she accepts the drink and kicks it back with the ease of someone used to drinking liquid that could be repurposed for paint thinner.

"See, that wasn't so purple." She pauses. "Tree? Barn? Hah!" The strangeness is met with a slap on her knee and a loud laugh. Whatever was going on, it was hilarious.

Loki | MCU | Undine

[personal profile] coldsong 2025-03-31 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
A Solemn Celebration

"This is exquisite," Loki appears to be genuinely smitten with the fabric he's been presented with by one of the Undines. It's the side of a scarf or shawl, clearly handwoven, and he has no idea what method was used, because the colors seem to shift like the surface of the ocean itself. "Truly, I've never seen anything like it, and I've been to over a hundred planets."

"Did you make this yourself?" The Undine is looking increasingly both thrilled and embarrassed, having not been prepared for such effusive praise. "I love it. Thank you!"

"Did you see this? I had no idea they did such weaving here!" Now you, innocent bystander, are being drawn into this conversation. "Look at the color shift!"


Astral Echoes

"Always with the magical stones," Loki complains softly to himself. "Magical rocks, magical gems, all-seeing orbs--I get it, I do. Perfect way to store power and thought.
Still, it's starting to feel like this place is trying to tell me something and I am not here for it."

"And you," his gaze snaps to the person nearest him. "How do you feel about chasing around for enchanted slivers of cosmic light or whatever the hells it is we're after this time? I suppose I'd get in trouble if I tried to keep one."

It takes a moment for Fingon to answer, because his first instinct is to throw his head back and laugh. Ai Valar, where to begin with such question?

"From our new friend? He does not strike me as the sort. From the shard?" Something stills in his expression, but he shrugs. "There is a pattern in my world, when one hoards a Light meant to be shared. Madness and murder seem to follow as night does day."

sixthdeadliest: (Leaning against a wall)

Six | Generator Rex | Undine

[personal profile] sixthdeadliest 2025-03-31 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Arrival: The Tavern

The last thing he remembered was returning to his jump jet to prepare for takeoff, letting Rex stay with the hidden village of engineers. The kid had found himself a home and, as much as Six desperately wanted to save One, Holiday's words wouldn't leave him be.

Then he'd woken up in this strange tavern, unarmed, and very irritated by it. At least he still had his sunglasses.

He walked to the end of the bar closest to the wall where he could take in the whole room.

"A beer," he said to the bartender when asked for his order.

However, he wasn't really drinking it that much. He needed to be alert given he wasn't sure if this was hostile territory or not. This definitely wasn't Abysus but there seemed to be EVOs mixed into this bunch.

Arrival: Salt Spire

He wasn't sure what he'd expected an underwater city to look like but he'd honestly assumed that it being completely underwater was an exaggeration.

Nope. Those were definitely fish swimming high overhead. Assuming he wasn't having a brain aneurism or the nanites in his own body weren't going off, causing him to hallucinate in his final moments of humanity.

He narrowed his eyes behind his glasses as he recognized the telltale signs of newly-rebuilt structures. The map he'd managed to get his hands on likely wasn't going to be worth much.

He walked up to someone who seemed to be trying to help the newly-arrived and lost. "Is there a motel or somewhere to stay?"

Special Quest: Astral Echoes (Salt Spire)

As a former mercenary, it only made sense to take up jobs as quickly as possible. He wasn't sure he trusted the idea of obtaining powers (as the welcome wagon had claimed) but getting back his weapons and his communicator (even if it was useless here) were a top priority.

He narrowed his eyes as he and his temporary partner gazed down at the ruins below where they stood. He leaned over the edge.

"Doesn't look too steep. We should be able to climb down easily."

Wildcard

Feel free to hit up Six! He's new and unpowered. All his abilities are trained so Caldera had to take all of his pointy things away from him.

While Six looked over the edge, Furfur scanned the horizon, his eyes searching out any lingering shadows or threats that might come from above.

"Yeah, I've definitely scaled worse. Doesn't even look like we have to worry about bein' attacked on the way down." Not that he expects the area to stay clear, but it's always nice to not have to watch your head while you're trying to get somewhere in particular. "Anyway, no point in standing around, so- alley OOP."

And off Furfur goes, taking a running leap off the edge onto a crumbling roof, sliding down the tiles with a grin down to the next lowest building.

Altan Hawke | Dragon Age 2 | Sylph | OTA

[personal profile] altanhawke 2025-03-31 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)

Solemn Celebrations

Altan has made his way to Heaven’s Bow once he’s confident he’s done all he can to save those who need saving. Despite his official alliance with the Sylph (the bounds and constraints of which he still doesn’t understand, and which he rests uneasily under with the fear that it’ll eventually cost him, however nice everyone’s been) frankly he’s spent more time in Salt Spire, and he shows a mingled delight and discomfort with the heights necessarily involved in the Sylph’s heartland.

Still, as shaken as he is by how Beleth’s brief peril had reminded him of Bethany’s death, “shaken” is something that he always covers with bombast. He drinks, he boasts; although even he holds a bit of secret unseen taboo against claiming to have saved lives that he hasn’t in case fate (he doesn’t believe in the Maker) is inspired to settle the score, he does play up his feats of physical prowess in clearing the debris caused by Triton’s disappearance.

He is, in short, looking for a distraction.

Vesper’s Request

Altan has familiarized himself with Cordelia’s domain, and so he returns to Salt Spire while the celebration continues. He’s searching for something (or someone), although he can’t place what until he sees the monumental shadowy form of Vesper. Again he’s struck by deja vu, a strange out of place sense of recognition.

Vesper’s implication that Triton will return rests relatively lightly on Altan. He’s already sure that things will find a way to go poorly, and people or circumstance agreeing with him is in its perverse way a comfort.

He’s been quickly losing his carefully ingrained Andrastian fear of the uncanny, which Vesper certainly is. He navigates the shoal of the crowd - elbow-room has been a luxury since Lothering anyway - to get close to Vesper, where he has a stilted conversation. He wants something from Vesper, but he can’t place what. This searching comes across in perhaps more skepticism towards Vesper’s virtuous purpose than he means to convey. How can he trust something like Vesper, something not remotely human? He thinks that perhaps what keeps this strange, powerful spirit so friendly is that everyone in Caldera seems so comfortably naive that they’re simply not full up on cruelty to reflect back to it. Him.

Still fascinated by Vesper and unconsciously eager to spend more time with him, Altan readily agrees to help him try to find his misplaced memories.

Special Quest: Astral Echoes:

[OOC: Coordinate with me to get this juicy drama - and, of course, Bones!]

Altan is obviously deep in his own head as he marches determinedly off after his conversation with Vesper, but is easily waylaid by anyone who gets it into theirs to go questing with him.

Choose [His] Destiny:

Altan is fairly obviously uncomfortable with the process of so clearly and markedly shaping another thinking being’s very essence, despite his passing familiarity with spiritbinding.

Destiny

[personal profile] goethbeforethefall 2025-04-03 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Solas is standing sentinel, more than contemplation. He has an opinion, of course, on Vesper's nature, and his fate; it is only natural to hold an opinion. Altan Hawke, standing nearby, also appears to be coping with the unfortunate side-effects of having a mind of his own.

"You seem troubled," He observes, eventually. When Altan's squirming finally gets to him.

pokeabear: (stern watcher)

Halsin | BG3 | Dryad

[personal profile] pokeabear 2025-03-31 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
ARRIVAL - TAVERN
Halsin didn't return to the Tavern much, but he did like to drop in now and then when he noticed a new wave of Visitors coming in. There was always a hope that he would spy someone he recognized because then he would be there to help them get adjusted. Sometimes, he was also curious about the drinks they served, as they had some rather interesting effects.

Currently, he was sipping on a glass of deep, glossy black liquor that bore a golden swirl that never seemed to settle fully. It was interesting since he never knew what it was going to taste like. Every taste was different to him, sometimes sweet in a way he enjoyed, and then there were times when he pulled a face because of the sour note that settled on his tongue.

So far, though, he was unaware of the effects, but he did glance up as someone stopped at his table, causing the very large Elf to look up curiously. "Hello there."

SOLEMN CELEBRATIONS - GREY WARD
The events of the earthquake and the arrival of the new God had set Halsin on edge as it stirred up some memories for him. All the destruction and the threat of shadows? Yes, those were memories he didn't like to think about. Especially since he had just shaken himself out of a mood that had lingered for a while.

While people were 'celebrating', Halsin could be found surrounded by some of the children who had gathered. Sitting under a tree with his legs crossed, he entertained them with some stories he told the other children he looked after back home. They were also entertained by his ability to talk to some of the stray cats who had joined the group, some of the kittens more than happy to play with the kids who had gathered.

When the kids were summoned to return to their homes, he handed out some carvings of his own, mostly of animals, to those who wanted them. It was a nice distraction from everything, leaving the druid in a good mood while he leaned back against the tree and watched them all head off.

Then he would look around to see if anyone else was lingering.

WILDCARD

Find memories, he says. And craft new ones with me.

Night Sky could never deny a request like that, even if she was nervous, and even if the shadowy figure on the fringes of Salt Spire was so unknown and unpredictable. He seemed sincere in his desire to find himself, and she was always a proponent of holding tight to memories and making new, better ones for oneself.

She slipped her hand into Halsin's and squeezed. "We should help him." She said softly. "Find those memories and hope he gets something good from them, you know?"

needsexcitement: (The Crystal Princess)

Princess Cadence | My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic | Dryad

[personal profile] needsexcitement 2025-04-01 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Solemn Celebrations: Grey Ward

Cadence smiled brightly as the children finished weaving ribbons through the braids that they'd made to her mane and tail. She had to give the people here credit: They'd done their best to help her get dolled up for the celebration.

"Thank you!" she told them brightly. She spread her wings to show off the feathers they'd painted and her shiny, well-brushed coat. Then she lifted her head with playful regality. "I look like a proper princess thanks to you all!"

The children clapped happily and scampered back to their parents who looked relieved to have had a temporary break from the stress of rebuilding and their beloved yet rambunctuous children.

Cadence refolded her wings and turned to see someone looking at her. She felt a bit silly but did her best to show off the kids' hard work. "How do I look?"

Astral Echoes: Ignacia's Cradle

"I think we're almost there."

Once she had her powers back and gained enough bones, she was going to get that fire resistance from Terra. The potions in her saddlebags helped with the heat but she could easily see it becoming very expensive to come here. Especially if the hot springs were anywhere near as nice as she'd heard.

"How are you holding up?"

She'd offered to let her companion ride on her if necessary. Standing at fifteen hands (about five feet) tall at her withers, she made for an excellent mount in a pinch.

"Like you've just been through the hands of seven of the finest feather-painters in K'Leshya," Skan told her, honestly, "But all at once, and without any of them being allowed to see or talk to one another."

His own wings are still stubbornly black, as always, but he's otherwise quite decorated today: people keep putting collars and necklaces on him, or clipping small brooches and tying ribbons onto those that are already there. The effect is quite festive, in a chaotic way.

"From one royal to another, it's quite the effect," He says, with an obvious air of a joke, of some sort, "In any case, I'm glad to see you came through the recent upset intact. It's been a terrible time."

Solemn Celebrations

"Not the liveliest party, is it?" Alastor asked as he casually swirled his glass of...well, it wasn't champagne but close enough. "But given the situation, I suppose it can't be helped. Still, makes one long for a good old Nawlins funeral."

Anyone who knew anything about New Orleans knew that the funerals they held there were rather unique: lots of parading around with energetic music. One last bright send-off to the dead before they were interred in the local cemetary.

Astral Echoes: Cordelia's Tower

He wasn't exactly thrilled to be back here so soon. He sorely missed his microphone cane even if it had been useless. It was a part of his very soul after all.

Still, they had a shard to find.

"Shall we split up or stay together?" he asked his companion. "Your choice."

Steve is likewise Not Comfortable with this, and it shows in the rigid line of his back and the set of his jaw. It's got nothing to do with his companion. Alastor strikes him as no more or less strange than anyone else in Caldera, when it comes right down to it, and the radio voice is strangely reassuring. He hasn't asked what the deal is there, not yet, but it reminds him of the early days in their tenement apartment with Bucky, how proud they both were of the secondhand radio they pieced together. Listening to the Shadow while Steve sketched out pulp heroes for one job or another.

No, the discomfort is from being underwater so soon after drowning, or freezing, or both. He has an eidetic memory: the darkness, the cold, the trickling noises and the groan of metal--he can still hear them all.

But Steve Rogers has never let fear stop him from doing something, so here he is, wearing the uniform he came into Caldera with, but carrying a shield made of steel that is much heavier and less versatile than his own. Maybe he'll be using Bones to get his back, once he has enough.

"Splitting up sort of defeats the point of going together in the first place, I figure," he says. "Besides, we can't be sure all the..." a vague wave of his hand. "Shadow things. Are gone from the area."

Imogen Farrell | OC | Undine

[personal profile] soldforless 2025-04-01 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Solemn Celebrations
After having a building fall on her (sort of), Imogen had no desire to go back down to Salt Spire for a little while. So she stayed up in the Grey Ward to enjoy the celebrations, watching it all with a quiet eye. She thought it was sweet that they were trying to thank the Visitors, but she still worried about what was coming.

"Someone gave me a necklace." She marveled after an older woman had wandered away, glancing over with a surprised look. "She said it was an heirloom that she wanted to pass down."

The necklace with stunning, with a delicate silver chain with a silver crescent moon pendant decorated with tiny pale blue jewels. She studied it for a moment before glancing up in the direction the woman had gone. She was torn on keeping it, but the old lady had been insistent. "I've already had people offer me carvings for the bar, too."

"Did you find it yet?" Imogen asked as she glanced up, looking across the way from where she was standing deep in the cave in Ignacia's Cradle. She already had the tiny violet shard that she had found down deep in the water, so she was relieved that not all the shards could be found that way. After all, who didn't like a good old scavenger hunt that took them all over?

Later, she could be spotted near the broken cliffside near Grey Ward. At least, one could assume it was her at first. Especially since she was merely a blur cutting across the sky at first, her slender frame held up but a pair of black wings that seemed to flicker with different colors, almost like an oil spill splashed over them.

It seems the lessons Skan has been giving her were going well as she landed near the edge rather gracefully, stretching her wings with a grin before folding them in against her back. Scanning the area, she pointed to where she saw a faint glow. "Is that the third one over there?"

Lastly, for the fourth one, Imogen stood on the dock staring at the water with a small sigh. "I really didn't want to go back down there again."

"It suits you." Dimitri said as he approached, holding a small wooden doll in his hand. "The necklace — it would look nice on you."

That's what women liked to hear, yes? "They wish to offer us thanks for our efforts, and they give us all they can spare. We do not want to be impolite, even if I feel... torn about it as well."

Barcus Wroot | Baldur's Gate 3 | Dryad

[personal profile] lost_and_foundry 2025-04-01 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Solemn Celebrations

Barcus promised not to exhaust himself doing clean-up and repair work around town, and he's more or less stuck to his word. Or, at least to the letter of his word. He's certainly kept busy in the last couple weeks, flitting between Grey Ward and Salt Spire to help with repair projects. He's made a point of retreating to eat and rest every night, though, convinced that Bel and Satchel, at least, would notice if he didn't, and they'd likely recruit the rest of his friends to lock him in his bedroom, if necessary.

So he hasn't exactly been overdoing it physically, but he may be slightly overwrought, grieving in the face of losses and aware that no matter how many bridges he rebuilds, there are things and people that cannot be replaced.

He's taken aback by the celebration, but several of the Calderans he's been working with take it upon themselves to bully him gently into attending, and an evening in Grey Ward finds him wandering beneath the lanterns, with Satchel on a leash trotting at his heels. The first gift pushed into his hands is a carved wooden cat, which is fitting, and he marvels over it, appropriately appreciative. Then there's another present, a young woman bringing him a glass of cider and an apple turnover. Another girl brings him a glass orb that glimmers in his palm; she threads it on a ribbon and ties it around Satchel's collar like a bell. Then there's a carved stone box from the grandson of the smoke shop proprietor, a handful of flowers, a small pickaxe from one of the people he and Ashton saved from the collapse of a cliff...

It's a little overwhelming, and Barcus isn't exactly used to this kind of appreciation. At some point something gives, and he ends up sitting at one of the tables with Satchel in his lap, crying like a child out of sheer excess of emotion.

Astral Echoes

It only makes sense for him to attempt the search for the shard in Ignacia's Cradle. He has the heat-resistant armor, still, and he's been through several of the passages already. For once in his life, though, it occurs to him to actually reach out to a friend to accompany him, rather than step out alone and hope to bump into someone useful on the way.

"You're definitely going to want extra water," he tells his companion. "There are plenty of places you can walk around without actively getting burns, but you're bound to get dehydrated, trust me."

((If you've got previous CR with Barcus, just assume he messaged you via bird to ask for help on this. If you're a new player, we can handwave them having met, or they can just have bumped into one another at the celebration or something.))

Bel didn't entirely have the protection Barcus did, but he did know to bring good boots and work gloves -- yes, he'd be sweating more, but he'd take that over a burn, especially on the hand or foot.

And plenty of water, as well. Bel held up a waterskin to demonstrate he'd listened. "And one in reserve for the walk back. You've already scouted this place. Any idea where to look?"

Penric kin Jurald | World of Five Gods | Undine

[personal profile] learnedfool 2025-04-01 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[FYI: For those with power regains that involve sensing otherworldly things, Penric shares his body with Desdemona, a demon (read: a chaotic and inherently destructive spirit). He's the one in control, but she is also known for coming off as 'wow, that's a lot of power'.]

[Since he's not coming in his Temple Sorcerer getup, he's going to keep this information (as well as his status as a priest) to himself until he determines how safe it is to talk to people.]

Arrival
Penric had on a ship for Cedonia when he woke up with the disorientation of suddenly not feeling the waves, and Des wailing in his brain about how she can't see anything. He managed to calm her down enough that he could read the note, and was already considering the problems. Namely, if Des's ability to manipulate chaos was missing, was she still producing chaos? Which was alarming enough that Pen was willing to play along to get the power back.

Of course, then he was immediately distracted by the floor of the Tavern. Because Penric was from a setting of far lower magic and entirely human. He got the sense that his 'party trick' of producing a bit of ice to cool a drink was far less impressive here.

"Excuse me? I'm new here, and the Tavernkeeper was not exactly inclined to recommend anything. What are you drinking?"

Don't get distracted, Pen. We need to be getting your sorcery back.

Pen nodded, without meaning to -- juggling two conversations is hard. Silently, he added, This is making contacts..

Solemn Celebrations
Do you remember what someone said about getting distracted? Well, Des is easily so by pretty things. Hence strolling in Salt Spire means letting her examine the tables.

I can't carry all of this. Pen wasn't going to bring up that they didn't do anything yet. And what do you intend to do with it?

Find someone who can make proper clothing for you, Des answered. We don't have to have half our wardrobe be in white here.

"After this, we are going to the library, and you are letting me read for at least an hour," Pen muttered, actually speaking aloud. Realizing what he did, he paused, looking up. "What do you think of this one?" He asked the nearest stranger.

Goat Any Leads?
This sort of power would be exceedingly useful for the shamans of the Weald. While they could direct animals, they couldn't directly communicate with them. (It does lead to a mental image of his old friend, Locator Osric, having to do this investigation by asking the animals themselves, rather than bringing Penric alone for mystical support.)

Rather than focus on the normal barn animals, Penric had drawn together a circle of rats and mice, feeding them bits of his lunch as he gets their testimony. He explains, "They are more likely to be overlooked by a larger animal or a human."

The nearest stranger was, unfortunately, Gadriel, who has precisely zero psychic sensibilities and an UNPARALLELED streak of bad luck.

Case in point.

The object the younger man held up was a kind of fabric. Gadriel was looking for a small blanket for his tressym, because little Elion probably needed some padding if he was going to ride around in Gadriel's helmet.

He had heard the first part of the utterance, as well as the question, which was addressed, sort of, to him. "It is serviceable." But. "Who is stopping you from reading?"

Caraelle Adaen | Original

[personal profile] stormling 2025-04-01 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
ARRIVAL
A nearly six-foot-tall Elven woman in armor had a way of standing out amid the tavern crowd. With flowing white hair and piercing blue eyes, her once delicate features bore a strange harshness that seemed to match the armor she wore. The faintest traces of past battles — perhaps the small scar across her brow or a weathered intensity in her gaze only added to the fact that this woman was a soldier of some sort. She also didn't look to be too happy with where she was now. Possibly it was the look of irritation on her features as she glared at the Tavernkeeper, who had shown no help to her, or maybe it was simply because she was new. Not even the offer of a drink had done anything to soothe her.

She merely focused her glare at the dark blue drink that was in her hand, following it with a scoff before setting it down hard enough to cause some of the liquid to slosh over onto her hand. Biting the inside of her cheek, she waved her hand to the side to shake off some of the liquor. She paused when some of the liquor caught the person standing next to her.

"Apologies." She muttered, barely glancing over as she started to turn away. It seemed she was leaving.

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY
The woman didn't look any happier where she stood now. She wasn't even looking at the three portals as she had her eyes closed while she pinched the top of her nose and focused on breathing slowly. Only until she heard the footsteps behind her. Stiffening, she dropped her hand back to her side as she glanced over her shoulder at whoever was approaching.

Shifting to the side, she lifted her hand to her hip like she was going to rest her hand on something that wasn't there. The reminder she was unarmed had her dropping her hand again, her frown deepening enough that it made the scar across her brow more pronounced.

"Don't let me hold you up. I haven't made my choice." She waved the person to go ahead since she had much to consider - or predict - before she made her choice.

SOLEMN CELEBRATIONS
The woman had no interest in celebrations, but still she attended. Perhaps she was easy to miss as she wasn't wearing her armor anymore. She had traded her armor for some traveling clothes that were practical yet elegant, suited for both comfort and mobility. She wore a fitted, long-sleeved tunic in earthy tones, reinforced at the shoulders and elbows for durability. A sturdy leather vest provided light protection without hindering movement. Her trousers were snug but flexible, made of thick, weather-resistant fabric, tucked into well-worn leather boots that rose just below her knees. She had found a sword in the time since her arrival, and it was on her hip now, her hand settled on the pommel as though it were a familiar home for her palm.

She was stiff when one of the people came over to offer her a gift, causing her gaze to flicker down and then up again. "I wasn't here to help. There is no point in giving me a gift." A pause. "But thank you for your kindness."

Whether that would work remained to be seen.

SPECIAL QUEST: ASTRAL ECHOES
"Are you going to look for these special shards?" She asked as she looked at the person standing nearby. "If you do not mind the company, I would like to come with you. I am new here, so I am not familiar with the different places these shards could be."

But she was fine to go off on her own, if needed.

solemn celebration (we can turn it into a quest later if they hit it off?)

[personal profile] thecodexabides 2025-04-01 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Gadriel did not enjoy celebrations. They always felt...off to him, like fools not realizing they were in mortal danger, taking time to celebrate when they should be preparing for worse hardships that, in his world, always came.

But he couldn't fault the people here. They endured much at the hands of their faction leaders and their gifts to the Visitors showed to him that even they knew that their true benefactors were the Visitors.

"Consider accepting it. These people have little to give except these trinkets and being able to give anything, after they have lost so much, will improve their spirits." Never mind that he had refused gifts from them. That was different. Somehow.

Solemn Celebration

Dad?

“Yeah?”

You’re not allowed to leave me alone ever again.

“That’s the tenth time you’ve said that, buddy.”

Just reminding you. You don’t listen so good.

John smiles as Delmar headbutts his temple with a booming purr from his perch draped around John’s shoulders. Reaching up, he rubs his chin and leans into the aggressive nuzzle.

“Couldn’t understand you as well before.” He points out gently. “I’ll do better, told you.”

…where’s Pretty Dad and Elf Dad and Skinny Dad? And where is Little Sister? And Brother? They’re not allowed to leave me alone either.

Laughing, John reaches up to pluck Delmar into his arms, holding him like a baby and rubbing his belly. Delmar grabs his hand and starts licking it as John looks around the rest of the Grey Ward celebration casually. He had asked for the power to talk to animals after his sacrifice, and naturally had gone home to get chewed out by his terrified cat. Realizing John could truly understand him, he hadn’t stopped talking since, a mix of meows and vocalization that formed words and just…things that felt like thoughts, but from somewhere else, so vivid he could nearly hear a voice beneath them.

And John can’t help but feel like Delmar would be damn proud of his loud, loving, opinionated namesake.

So, anyone at the Grey Ward celebration can find John easily on the fringes, chatting with his spoiled Maine coone tomcat—or, possibly, might be approached if the massive wayward Delmar the cat happens to trot up to you, jet black, a foot and a half tall, and just shy of four feet long, yowling and purring and generally being a nuisance until he is given pets.

Astral Echoes (Grey Ward)

John can’t help it: Vesper is a strange creature, but he sympathizes with him. Being lost, yearning for direction, needing to figure himself out…

He knows Finnick has been deeply disturbed by this cult of Triton stuff, that Vesper is part of Triton—but John has to help.

So when he goes looking for one of the shards of memory, and tracks it to the cliffs in Grey Ward, he hikes out to try and locate it—and discovers he’s not the only one on the hunt for the source of that violet glow.

Maedhros is keeping himself to the fringes as well. He's not really up for celebrating much of anything right now and he does not want to ruin the mood for anyone who is by by being a brooding stormcloud hanging over everyones head. No. These people deserve to find some happiness in the midst of all the recent destruction and he's not going to stand in the way of that.

Delmar walking up to him demanding the pets he is due does bring a slight smile to his face, however.

"Ah. Hello to you too, my friend." He greets the cat as he complies with some earscratches. "I'm glad to see you came through our ordeal alright."

Maedhros may not be able to speak to animals but he does tend to speak to them just as he would anyone else.

"Is John around here as well? He must be if you are here."

Dorian Storm | Critical Role | Sylph | OTA

[personal profile] makingmyway 2025-04-01 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
A. Solemn Celebrations
It certainly had been a difficult time as of late, and Dorian had been doing his best to help out where he can; between rescuing those that they could, healing those that needed it, and helping rebuild, he's had plenty of things to keep himself busy. So when the celebrations begin, he finds himself a little taken aback by the change in atmosphere. Certainly there had been much loss, but the festivities are bright and cheerful in the face of the Calderans' appreciation.

And Dorian can't help finding himself a bit torn throughout it all. He understands that a moment of levity after such hardships is helpful, necessary even, to nurture whatever hope they are able to have. But as the Calderans' present them with gifts, he can't help feeling a sense of unease. He believes the natives mean well and have no ill intentions with their regards and offerings, but it almost feels like a tribute - a preparation for the visitors before they are asked for something more.

That the sacrifices they had already made were just the beginning.

B. Astral Echoes
Maybe it was the thought that Vesper held a piece of each of them, in a way, from what they had sacrificed to him. Or perhaps it was the circumstances of his creation, called from the need to act, born of necessity to perform a specific duty. But in some ways Dorian sympathized with the shadow knight, so when they were asked to help retrieve pieces of his memory, Dorian was quick to volunteer.

Still, as they travel to locate one of the shards, he can't help asking his companion, "What do you think of all this?"

Barcus is, as is often the case, anxious to help with the current crisis, but the past few weeks have been delicate. It feels as though discretion is the better part of valor in pursuing any quest. He's quick to follow along with Dorian when he discovers he's going hunting for the shards.

Ironic, actually, that the first place they should have to look is by the cliffs of Grey Ward, not very far from where he and Ashton almost died in the quake. He's distracted, looking out upon the field of debris, much of which has been sorted and tidied by now. There are still bits of houses lying there, though, recognizable even after a little weathering.

"...uh?" He shakes himself slightly at the question and looks up at his friend. "About the quest? I think it's a good opportunity to learn a little more about this world."

"Or did you mean what do I think about Vesper? I'm not sure yet. But at least he's talking to us."

Maedhros | the Silmarillion | OTA

[personal profile] holdshisown 2025-04-01 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Solemn Celebration: Grey Ward

Celebrating is the furthest thing from Maedhros mind right now. He's still angry that any of this occured at all and he's probably going to be feeling that way for quite some time. But he knows that after disasters like these people need to do something to keep from drowning in their own losses, so he does not blame anyone for not sitting around brooding as he does.

So he keeps a polite smile upon his face and bears the gratitude these poor people foist upon him with as much grace as he can. But he does not feel worthy of it, he does not feel as if he's done enough to deserve these peoples gratitude.

Mostly he just wanders around alone, hoping to find some quiet corner where he can sort out his troubled thoughts in peace.

Astral Echoes

Maedhros is already regretting agreeing to this quest. Going in search of glowing jewels has never quite worked out well for him and it's already bringing up a lot of guilt ridden memories.

"This was a bad idea..." He mutters to himself. "It's like I have learned nothing at all."

Sienna couldn't really say she had a similar experience. All she knew was that the crystals were important, and getting them would keep the world she was currently living in from falling apart, so she should probably try and help.

Finnick Odair | Hunger Games | Undine

[personal profile] odare 2025-04-02 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Finn’s Inn

Near the docks in Grey Ward lies an Inn that is advertised around town. It is free for Visitors to stay at, and the tavern has free food and drink for Visitors as well. It’s geared toward new Visitors primarily, to help them adjust to Caldera. Perhaps you have a question, need a place to stay, or just want to drop in for a drink. In any case, Finnick will be there, quite busy, looking weary from recent events but still all too happy and enthusiastic to greet you.

“Hey! You new in town?” He’ll flash a charming smile at you.

It’s clear from spending some time at the Inn that this is more than just a hostel. There are medical supplies around, and some injured and tired-looking people move through the space. Finnick can be seen checking in on them with a caring touch to their arm, his hands occasionally glowing with aquamarine light to soothe an ache or pain. Taking the word on the street into account, if you’re new you can probably guess this is related to the recent earthquakes and tidal waves. If you have any questions about those recent events, feel free to ask him. Or, offer a hand if you’re looking for something to do or a way to help! There’s a lot that needs doing around the Inn.

Quest: Cult of Triton

The rise of Vesper has only brought the issue of Triton more to the forefront of Finnick’s mind, especially with all of those shadows still lurking in the depths. Knowing now what they are, and knowing there’s a way to quell them- well, he’s going to do that. If you’re around while he’s packing up his sailboat for the trip, he’ll invite you along. He’s trying to take Remi’s advice to accept more help.

Once he sets sail on this unseasonably warm sunny day, he’s happy to share The Lore™ with you.

“So how much do you know about all of this?”

Quest: Sunlit Angels

Although this month has been busy and stressful, the weather is warming up, and one of Finnick’s favourite activities is more feasible: swimming. He figures he’ll take an easy quest that involves some swimming, as a distraction from everything going on. So, diving in and around this little underwater town in search of pretty fish sounds fun. He can take you in his boat to the location, and has the rebreathers and goggles needed. He seems in a cautious good mood as he anchors the boat in a spot near Blueshore Post.

“How confident a swimmer are you?”

After speaking with Loki, Melinoë figured it would not hurt to investigate the mentioned inn in Grey Ward. Granted, chances were fairly high she might still slum it in the woods, but that didn't mean she couldn't scope the place out and gather some more intel.

She was short, sporting no shoes and glowing feet that radiated heat. Mismatched eyes mirrored a certain other ember-footed man wandering around Caldera the last month or so, and she bore an arm that glowed a ghostly green and revealed the bones within.

"I am." She replied to the question of her newness, glancing around. "This inn was recommended by Loki. You must be the proprietor?"
