❤ Week 1 Mingle

Welcome to a new week, lovebirds! Monday dawns gray and misty, and it's actually not long before a thunderstorm rolls in! You can, of course, kiss dramatically in the yard in the rain and risk getting struck by lightning-- or you can stay inside, cuddle in the conversation pit, USE THE GODDAMN BOOM BOOM ROOM or do anything else until the storm blows over by the evening! Don't worry, the rest of the week will be bright and sunny and beautiful!

There's also a new section of the house, weirdly enough! There's a bright turquoise door located near the bedroom and opening it leads to... a massive indoor pool. The water is a pleasant temperature, there's a hot tub, there's an assortment of flotation devices for those of you who might have trouble swimming (tubes, life vests, boogie boards, pool noodles that can also be used to wage Deadly Combat if you are Sara and Kasque or Jeritza or anyone else ready for Violence). And if you somehow didn't pack a swimsuit because why on earth would your canon let you have one--

Worry not!! There's a rack of swimsuits in every size you lot could need! The catch (or not): they're all sexy. Like. Barely there sexy. Impossibly adhering to you sexy. Shoelaces would maybe cover more sexy. Absolutely great to play Chicken Fight in sexy. You get the idea.

Anything having to do with being able to write is still also Not Present.

Enjoy!!!

It has certainly been interesting. We've quite the colorful cast of characters. What's your assessment?

[aldaft]

It thrills me to be in the company of such lovely ladies and gentlemen—Dia as well. I couldn't have hoped for a better cast. There's much I've already learned, and I look forward to learning more.

[firesinthesky]

Oh, I bet having folk from different stars all together in one place is like a dream for you, isn't it? Any scholar worth their salt would be having a field day with it.

[aldaft]

Indeed! And so, it would be remiss of me not to ask you questions regarding yours . . and yourself, of course. It is my first time meeting someone of your . . . stature, shall we say.

[firesinthesky]

Yours and everyone else's. Go on and ask your questions, I'm not bothered by a bit of prodding.

[aldaft]

Many thanks, my dear!

[This appears to positively delight Cyrus, who doesn't waste a second.]

Since coming here, I've learned of the existence of other races such as elves . . . To start, what do you call yours?

[firesinthesky]

Roegadyn is what you'd call my people, but we're broken up into two distinct clans, the Hellsguard and the Sea Wolves. I am of the Hellsguard, specifically.

[aldaft]

Is that so? . . . Are the clans separated by region? And what inspired the name of Hellsguard, pray tell?

[firesinthesky]

[ She nods. ]

The Sea Wolves hail from the isles of the north seas, and, as the name suggests are a seafaring folk. We Hellsguard come from the volcanic peaks of the mountain range known as Abalathia’s Spine. Many of my ancestors believed the volcanos to be an entrance to the afterlife.

Now, though, you’ll find members of each clan a bit of everywhere.

[aldaft]

Oho. What led your ancestors to believe the volcanos were a gate of sorts?

[firesinthesky]

Have you seen a volcano? If they don't lead straight to the seven hells, I don't know what does.

[aldaft]

[He blinks.]

Seven? Are there truly that many?

[firesinthesky]

Yes?

[ don't ask me for lore, the producer just thought it sounded cool ]

[aldaft]

How fascinating!

[And cool.]

In Orsterra, there is but one gate that separates our world from the next. To imagine seven of them . . . I wonder as to their significance.
