-OOC Oksy

[an-unstable-vessel]

After a good while and some strange, stifled noises later- Nis would wake up, wondering if Oksy is up too? (@daily-nis)

Oksy was not up, but the noise they made had died down, they were most likely  going to wake up soon enough.

[daily-nis]

In that case she will take a moment to look around the place, curious what she would find.

[an-unstable-vessel]

There was books, and more books and even more... Thats alot of books from the now destroyed palace. Theres more books?!

She found a nailsmith's Hammer, a different Hammer, a lot of blank wood planks, plates and cutlery, a lotta nails, and more Basic home stuffz

[daily-nis]

Nis was curious about almost everything, at first the books and then the nailsmith’s hammer. Hmm...she has a feeling Oksy really has a thing for signs.

[an-unstable-vessel]

"Looking around?" Oksy was leaning over close to Nis' height next to Nis

[daily-nis]

Oh she definitely jumped, they got her good that time.

A startled squeak escaped her as she turned to face Oksy, "Ah- err...yes, I was just... curious about...things."

Yeah that was smooth, they really got her off guard.

[an-unstable-vessel]

"Right..." Oksy straightened and walked into the next room which happened to be the 'kitchen', honestly its more like a combination of a kitchen and a living room

[an-unstable-vessel]

Nis continued to wander about for some time with the feeling that she had forgotten something… She would likely joke about it if anyone asked, when in reality it’s become quite the plague, searching for something, or someone…and not knowing who or what- or even why. At this point she hoped from anything that would draw her attention away from these disorienting sensations. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

After a while a large cloak went past Nis sliding on the ground, nothing out of the ordinary. Wait was that cloak moving on its own?

[daily-nis]

It definitely caught her attention, specifically the fact that she couldn’t see who was in the cloak.

When it slides by she would carefully follow it, curious where this would lead.

[an-unstable-vessel]

The cloak was rather long, it could be carpet if it didnt look like a cloak. It turned around the corner still sliding on the ground before getting stuck on a rock making the person wearing it fall over inside it

[daily-nis]

When they got stuck and fell over she would crouch next to them and try to check if they are alright.  “You okay little one?” she asked softly.

[an-unstable-vessel]

They crawled out from under the cloak, got up and nodded before walking to the rock and getting the cloak unstuck

[daily-nis]

She nodded back before trying to help them free their cloak.

“My name is Nis, who might you be?” She asked gently, knowing that even if they didn’t speak, most Vessels had some way to communicate.

[an-unstable-vessel]

They looked at Nis and gave a thumbs up for the help, they dragged the cloak starting to roll it up “Oksy” they said while rolling up the cloak.

They sat on the rock when they finished rolling the cloak up, putting it inside their normal cloak.

[daily-nis]

Nis watched them do this, curious why they had two cloaks.  The thumbs up made her eyes smile a bit. Once they sat down she would as well, “Nice to meet you Oksy! Do you live around here?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

They shook their head “Arrived recently” Oksy was spining their thumbs while sitting before pulling out their map

[daily-nis]

She nods and tilts her head, trying to get a peek at their map. “Are you alone? Or is there someone to look after you?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

The map is simple but it isnt the one that Iselda sells, it has some markings made by Oksy and the White palace is still standing on this map.

“Alone” Oksy said looking at the map. They got up and started To head towards the City of Tears

[daily-nis]

The map certainly drew her curiosity, but when they said they were alone and got up to continue on she would follow. “D- do…do you want to…maybe not be alone?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

They looked at Nis, they hadn’t mind being alone but company was nice.

“You can come” Oksy continued towards the City of Tears

[daily-nis]

“Thank you Oksy…” She said as she began to follow, getting curious about various things now.

Were they taking the place of Little Ghost in this universe? Or looking for something else? What about that map?

“Can I ask where you got your map? It looks different from others I’ve seen.”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Stole it from the palace while hiding there” that was quite straight forward.

You reached the queen’s station and Oksy jumped down, there was a carved out tunnel in  the wall, it was tall enough that Hollow could walk through it easily

“Made shortcut a little days back” Oksy walked into the tunnel

[daily-nis]

“You….hid in the palace- oh! Uhm…”

She tilted her head at the size of the tunnel.

“You made that? Mind if I ask how?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy continued to walk, mumbling to theirself

“You’ll find out eventually” Oksy pointed at the ceiling “We’re below the mantis village currently”

[daily-nis]

Looking up she nodded, but grew even more curious at what they said. She does suspect they know how to defend themselves, despite being so small, but Nis still has the feeling there is…more. Continuing to follow she was prepared to defend them if necessary, listening closely to their surroundings as well as Oksy’s mumbling. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy walked forward to the tunnels end where they climbed up on a set of small stairs and pushed a metal slab out of the way revealing an area with a ceiling above it

“Here’s the exit” Oksy climbed out of the tunnel continuing to the old elevator shaft down to the ancient basin

[daily-nis]

It was times like these that Nis was glad the form she’d chosen was rather small, just a smidge shorter than Hornet in fact.  Seeing where they were going however she felt the need to offer assistance, though it likely wasn’t needed. “Do you wanna hang onto me or something while we head down?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“I appreciate it but…” Oksy looks at the wall and then walks into the wall by turning into liquid void and appearing a the bottom. Oksy wait there until Nis comes down

[daily-nis]

Nis watched this in shock for a good moment, she’s never seen a Vessel do that.  Hmm. Very cool. Well then since we are using our innate abilities here she’s just going to teleport down and pop up next to Oksy. She figures if they can do that then they won’t be freaked out by it.  “Ok that was seriously awesome, how do you do that?” She’s really asking ‘you’re different, how?’ But she doesn’t want to offend them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Oh…. well” Oksy shrugs but they definitely know.

Oksy continues down to the old palace grounds before facing a wall, starting to climb it with a mantis claw. It’s been awhile since they’ve been here, so they don’t want to be wandering the wall for too long

[daily-nis]

Nis would follow, climbing the wall by…well, sticking to it like a Tiktik. She has a feeling this area is pretty dangerous, and in all honesty she hadn’t been here in a very long time either, and not at all in this particular universe. “It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me, but still…that was great, I need to learn that. Become puddle~” She was staying directly beneath them so that if something happened and they slipped she could catch them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

No comment. Oksy climbed into a smaller carved out tunnel which eventually carved into an area that looked like an inside of a house.

“Haven’t been here in a while” Oksy sat down on a small stool

[daily-nis]

She would squeeze into the tunnel behind them, looking all around when they came out.

“Oh wow- do you live here?”

Nis is really starting to wonder about this little Vessel, they are unlike any others she’s met.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Yes, i made this while still being In the palace, for personal reason”

Oksy hopped off the stool and pushed it under a table

“I Will be right back” Oksy walked to a door and melted through it. The door was made for a larger vessel

[daily-nis]

While still in the palace? The size of the door…their abilities, all pieces to some sort of puzzle she can’t make out yet. “Alrght!” While they were gone she would look around the room, though not touching anything. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Nis would feel a sudden overflow of void In the room Oksy was but as soon as it came it left, at that moment there was a sound of something falling over

“ouch…” Oksy’s voice was muffled by the wall as most of the sound but Nis could hear Oksy getting up and several drawers being opened and closed as Oksy mumbled something

[daily-nis]

Her eyes widened a bit at the feeling and she would listen to noises briefly until Oksy said ‘ouch.’

Following the sounds she would ask, “Are you okay?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Im okay, just tripped”

The last drawer closed… The door unlocked with a click sound, a larger vessel walked out with a cloak that was the same that Oksy had rolled up. They sat down on a chair, also bandages covered up their entire face area.

[daily-nis]

Oddly enough Nis was more focused on the bandages covering their face than the fact they were larger now.

“What- tripped? Do you need healing?”

She’s already approaching, instinctively wanting to reach out and fix whatever is wrong- but she stops herself, waiting for permission.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“No… Ive tried, it wont work…”

They got up walked to drawer opening it and taking out a small sign with four metal spikes hammered through it at each corner and a hammer.

They took the sign to the now opened door, closing it and hammering the sign to it.

The sign read “Oksy”

[daily-nis]

She’s thoroughly perplexed now…

So many questions.

Hopefully they don’t mind her asking them.

“Uhm…why the sign? And…why are you bigger? And why do you think your…wound can’t be healed? How bad is it?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Its my room…” Oksy sat down on a chair “The wounds are really bad. I have a…. transformation ability that allows me to change my form to previous stages… Also the reason i can melt through anything”

[daily-nis]

She tilts her head, hmm…okay, maybe that means ‘dont go in there?’

Either way, when they sit she would try to get a look at the bandages.

“What caused it, do you mind if I look, maybe there’s something that can be done?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“…. Sure but it wont be pretty” Oksy turned their head towards Nis

“like i said Ive tried healing them, In Best case scenario the damage reverts back to the original crack…. But they just Come back after few days… In a painful way”

[daily-nis]

“Perhaps we could at least figure out why it’s happening and go from there?”

She would very, very gently and carefully try to peel away the bandages to get a look. She’s not really affected by the look of a gruesome wound, but she is always heavily drawn to try and help.

Her hands are very much accustomed to working with someone in pain.

[an-unstable-vessel]

Cracks, Oksy’s shell was covered In cracks.. Oksy took a finger and slid it across a crack that started from the top and ended a little after their right eye.

“They’ve grown from that….”

[daily-nis]

She nods, taking in the pattern of the cracking.

“That first one that they grow from, when you’ve tried to heal yourself does it ever go away? And…when the cracks return…you said there is pain, do you have to impact with something or do they just reappear without reason?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“The first one never goes away and… The cracks come back the same way they came in the first place by cracking open again”

Oksy stayed silent for a moment

“The first crack… I cant remember if i was born with it or did it shatter open from the fall”

[daily-nis]

“Okay…so, I’m not going to try to heal you or anything right now but… I do want to know if this is caused by a medical or magical reason. Just stay still, it won’t hurt. If they don’t object, she will raise her hands to just hover over the cracks, not touching. Then her palms would start to glow, first white, and then shifting through every other color.  If the reason is magical, she expects to see little glowing particles in one of the colors of light, depending on what type of magic it is.  If not, the light would reveal nothing, which leaves two other options- either it is directly Void related, or it is a medical issue. What does she see?

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy nodded… the issue would be medical.

Oksy got up “Im going to my room to rest, there is an extra bed down the Hall In a guest room…” Oksy opened the door to their room and entered closing the door behind them

[daily-nis]

“O- Oh….okay, th- thank you.” Nis couldn’t understand why they wanted to leave so suddenly. She was just getting somewhere, were they that tired…? She was grateful they basically offered for her to stay but still sort of wondered if she had offended them somehow.  Kind of just left standing where she’s at. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

There was a small thud as Oksy fell on to their bed. A little while later you could hear a sound that was best described as the wind whistling

[daily-nis]

Nis heard that….wow they must be tired indeed.

In that case she is going to look around a bit before resting herself. Though when she hears they wind-whistling sound…it got her attention.

She would listen at her new friend’s bedroom door.

[an-unstable-vessel]

The noise continued steadily… There was another noise as Oksy shifted In their bed.

……..

[daily-nis]

Okay Nis is really curious about what’s going on here.

She feels a bit silly, and possibly nosey…but she’s never heard anyone snore quite like that.

She’s never heard a vessel snore in general.

What she didn’t expect was to get sleepy while listening to it. Rather than passing out right there at their door she managed to drag herself to the aforementioned bed.

A little nap shouldn’t hurt anything right?

They looked at Nis, they hadn’t mind being alone but company was nice.

“You can come” Oksy continued towards the City of Tears

[daily-nis]

“Thank you Oksy…” She said as she began to follow, getting curious about various things now.

Were they taking the place of Little Ghost in this universe? Or looking for something else? What about that map?

“Can I ask where you got your map? It looks different from others I’ve seen.”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Stole it from the palace while hiding there” that was quite straight forward.

You reached the queen’s station and Oksy jumped down, there was a carved out tunnel in  the wall, it was tall enough that Hollow could walk through it easily

“Made shortcut a little days back” Oksy walked into the tunnel

[daily-nis]

“You….hid in the palace- oh! Uhm…”

She tilted her head at the size of the tunnel.

“You made that? Mind if I ask how?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy continued to walk, mumbling to theirself

“You’ll find out eventually” Oksy pointed at the ceiling “We’re below the mantis village currently”

[daily-nis]

Looking up she nodded, but grew even more curious at what they said. She does suspect they know how to defend themselves, despite being so small, but Nis still has the feeling there is…more. Continuing to follow she was prepared to defend them if necessary, listening closely to their surroundings as well as Oksy’s mumbling. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy walked forward to the tunnels end where they climbed up on a set of small stairs and pushed a metal slab out of the way revealing an area with a ceiling above it

“Here’s the exit” Oksy climbed out of the tunnel continuing to the old elevator shaft down to the ancient basin

[daily-nis]

It was times like these that Nis was glad the form she’d chosen was rather small, just a smidge shorter than Hornet in fact.  Seeing where they were going however she felt the need to offer assistance, though it likely wasn’t needed. “Do you wanna hang onto me or something while we head down?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“I appreciate it but…” Oksy looks at the wall and then walks into the wall by turning into liquid void and appearing a the bottom. Oksy wait there until Nis comes down

[daily-nis]

Nis watched this in shock for a good moment, she’s never seen a Vessel do that.  Hmm. Very cool. Well then since we are using our innate abilities here she’s just going to teleport down and pop up next to Oksy. She figures if they can do that then they won’t be freaked out by it.  “Ok that was seriously awesome, how do you do that?” She’s really asking ‘you’re different, how?’ But she doesn’t want to offend them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Oh…. well” Oksy shrugs but they definitely know.

Oksy continues down to the old palace grounds before facing a wall, starting to climb it with a mantis claw. It’s been awhile since they’ve been here, so they don’t want to be wandering the wall for too long

[daily-nis]

Nis would follow, climbing the wall by…well, sticking to it like a Tiktik. She has a feeling this area is pretty dangerous, and in all honesty she hadn’t been here in a very long time either, and not at all in this particular universe. “It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me, but still…that was great, I need to learn that. Become puddle~” She was staying directly beneath them so that if something happened and they slipped she could catch them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

No comment. Oksy climbed into a smaller carved out tunnel which eventually carved into an area that looked like an inside of a house.

“Haven’t been here in a while” Oksy sat down on a small stool

[daily-nis]

She would squeeze into the tunnel behind them, looking all around when they came out.

“Oh wow- do you live here?”

Nis is really starting to wonder about this little Vessel, they are unlike any others she’s met.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Yes, i made this while still being In the palace, for personal reason”

Oksy hopped off the stool and pushed it under a table

“I Will be right back” Oksy walked to a door and melted through it. The door was made for a larger vessel

[daily-nis]

While still in the palace? The size of the door…their abilities, all pieces to some sort of puzzle she can’t make out yet. “Alrght!” While they were gone she would look around the room, though not touching anything. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Nis would feel a sudden overflow of void In the room Oksy was but as soon as it came it left, at that moment there was a sound of something falling over

“ouch…” Oksy’s voice was muffled by the wall as most of the sound but Nis could hear Oksy getting up and several drawers being opened and closed as Oksy mumbled something

[daily-nis]

Her eyes widened a bit at the feeling and she would listen to noises briefly until Oksy said ‘ouch.’

Following the sounds she would ask, “Are you okay?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Im okay, just tripped”

The last drawer closed… The door unlocked with a click sound, a larger vessel walked out with a cloak that was the same that Oksy had rolled up. They sat down on a chair, also bandages covered up their entire face area.

[daily-nis]

Oddly enough Nis was more focused on the bandages covering their face than the fact they were larger now.

“What- tripped? Do you need healing?”

She’s already approaching, instinctively wanting to reach out and fix whatever is wrong- but she stops herself, waiting for permission.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“No… Ive tried, it wont work…”

They got up walked to drawer opening it and taking out a small sign with four metal spikes hammered through it at each corner and a hammer.

They took the sign to the now opened door, closing it and hammering the sign to it.

The sign read “Oksy”

[daily-nis]

She’s thoroughly perplexed now…

So many questions.

Hopefully they don’t mind her asking them.

“Uhm…why the sign? And…why are you bigger? And why do you think your…wound can’t be healed? How bad is it?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Its my room…” Oksy sat down on a chair “The wounds are really bad. I have a…. transformation ability that allows me to change my form to previous stages… Also the reason i can melt through anything”

[daily-nis]

She tilts her head, hmm…okay, maybe that means ‘dont go in there?’

Either way, when they sit she would try to get a look at the bandages.

“What caused it, do you mind if I look, maybe there’s something that can be done?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“…. Sure but it wont be pretty” Oksy turned their head towards Nis

“like i said Ive tried healing them, In Best case scenario the damage reverts back to the original crack…. But they just Come back after few days… In a painful way”

[daily-nis]

“Perhaps we could at least figure out why it’s happening and go from there?”

She would very, very gently and carefully try to peel away the bandages to get a look. She’s not really affected by the look of a gruesome wound, but she is always heavily drawn to try and help.

Her hands are very much accustomed to working with someone in pain.

[an-unstable-vessel]

Cracks, Oksy’s shell was covered In cracks.. Oksy took a finger and slid it across a crack that started from the top and ended a little after their right eye.

“They’ve grown from that….”

[daily-nis]

She nods, taking in the pattern of the cracking.

“That first one that they grow from, when you’ve tried to heal yourself does it ever go away? And…when the cracks return…you said there is pain, do you have to impact with something or do they just reappear without reason?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“The first one never goes away and… The cracks come back the same way they came in the first place by cracking open again”

Oksy stayed silent for a moment

“The first crack… I cant remember if i was born with it or did it shatter open from the fall”

[daily-nis]

“Okay…so, I’m not going to try to heal you or anything right now but… I do want to know if this is caused by a medical or magical reason. Just stay still, it won’t hurt. If they don’t object, she will raise her hands to just hover over the cracks, not touching. Then her palms would start to glow, first white, and then shifting through every other color.  If the reason is magical, she expects to see little glowing particles in one of the colors of light, depending on what type of magic it is.  If not, the light would reveal nothing, which leaves two other options- either it is directly Void related, or it is a medical issue. What does she see?

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy nodded… the issue would be medical.

Oksy got up “Im going to my room to rest, there is an extra bed down the Hall In a guest room…” Oksy opened the door to their room and entered closing the door behind them

[daily-nis]

“O- Oh….okay, th- thank you.” Nis couldn’t understand why they wanted to leave so suddenly. She was just getting somewhere, were they that tired…? She was grateful they basically offered for her to stay but still sort of wondered if she had offended them somehow.  Kind of just left standing where she’s at. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

There was a small thud as Oksy fell on to their bed. A little while later you could hear a sound that was best described as the wind whistling

[daily-nis]

Open Starter

Nis continued to wander about for some time with the feeling that she had forgotten something… She would likely joke about it if anyone asked, when in reality it’s become quite the plague, searching for something, or someone…and not knowing who or what- or even why. At this point she hoped from anything that would draw her attention away from these disorienting sensations. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

After a while a large cloak went past Nis sliding on the ground, nothing out of the ordinary. Wait was that cloak moving on its own?

[daily-nis]

It definitely caught her attention, specifically the fact that she couldn’t see who was in the cloak.

When it slides by she would carefully follow it, curious where this would lead.

[an-unstable-vessel]

The cloak was rather long, it could be carpet if it didnt look like a cloak. It turned around the corner still sliding on the ground before getting stuck on a rock making the person wearing it fall over inside it

[daily-nis]

When they got stuck and fell over she would crouch next to them and try to check if they are alright.  “You okay little one?” she asked softly.

[an-unstable-vessel]

They crawled out from under the cloak, got up and nodded before walking to the rock and getting the cloak unstuck

[daily-nis]

She nodded back before trying to help them free their cloak.

“My name is Nis, who might you be?” She asked gently, knowing that even if they didn’t speak, most Vessels had some way to communicate.

[an-unstable-vessel]

They looked at Nis and gave a thumbs up for the help, they dragged the cloak starting to roll it up “Oksy” they said while rolling up the cloak.

They sat on the rock when they finished rolling the cloak up, putting it inside their normal cloak.

[daily-nis]

Nis watched them do this, curious why they had two cloaks.  The thumbs up made her eyes smile a bit. Once they sat down she would as well, “Nice to meet you Oksy! Do you live around here?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

They shook their head “Arrived recently” Oksy was spining their thumbs while sitting before pulling out their map

[daily-nis]

She nods and tilts her head, trying to get a peek at their map. “Are you alone? Or is there someone to look after you?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

The map is simple but it isnt the one that Iselda sells, it has some markings made by Oksy and the White palace is still standing on this map.

“Alone” Oksy said looking at the map. They got up and started To head towards the City of Tears

[daily-nis]

The map certainly drew her curiosity, but when they said they were alone and got up to continue on she would follow. “D- do…do you want to…maybe not be alone?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

At this point she hoped from anything that would draw her attention away from these disorienting sensations. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

After a while a large cloak went past Nis sliding on the ground, nothing out of the ordinary. Wait was that cloak moving on its own?

[daily-nis]

It definitely caught her attention, specifically the fact that she couldn’t see who was in the cloak.

When it slides by she would carefully follow it, curious where this would lead.

[an-unstable-vessel]

The cloak was rather long, it could be carpet if it didnt look like a cloak. It turned around the corner still sliding on the ground before getting stuck on a rock making the person wearing it fall over inside it

[daily-nis]

When they got stuck and fell over she would crouch next to them and try to check if they are alright.  “You okay little one?” she asked softly.

[an-unstable-vessel]

They crawled out from under the cloak, got up and nodded before walking to the rock and getting the cloak unstuck

[daily-nis]

She nodded back before trying to help them free their cloak.

“My name is Nis, who might you be?” She asked gently, knowing that even if they didn’t speak, most Vessels had some way to communicate.

[an-unstable-vessel]

They looked at Nis and gave a thumbs up for the help, they dragged the cloak starting to roll it up “Oksy” they said while rolling up the cloak.

They sat on the rock when they finished rolling the cloak up, putting it inside their normal cloak.

[daily-nis]

Nis watched them do this, curious why they had two cloaks.  The thumbs up made her eyes smile a bit. Once they sat down she would as well, “Nice to meet you Oksy! Do you live around here?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

They shook their head “Arrived recently” Oksy was spining their thumbs while sitting before pulling out their map

[daily-nis]

She nods and tilts her head, trying to get a peek at their map. “Are you alone? Or is there someone to look after you?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

The map is simple but it isnt the one that Iselda sells, it has some markings made by Oksy and the White palace is still standing on this map.

“Alone” Oksy said looking at the map. They got up and started To head towards the City of Tears

[daily-nis]

The map certainly drew her curiosity, but when they said they were alone and got up to continue on she would follow. “D- do…do you want to…maybe not be alone?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

They looked at Nis, they hadn’t mind being alone but company was nice.

“You can come” Oksy continued towards the City of Tears

[daily-nis]

“Thank you Oksy…” She said as she began to follow, getting curious about various things now.

Were they taking the place of Little Ghost in this universe? Or looking for something else? What about that map?

“Can I ask where you got your map? It looks different from others I’ve seen.”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Stole it from the palace while hiding there” that was quite straight forward.

You reached the queen’s station and Oksy jumped down, there was a carved out tunnel in  the wall, it was tall enough that Hollow could walk through it easily

“Made shortcut a little days back” Oksy walked into the tunnel

[daily-nis]

“You….hid in the palace- oh! Uhm…”

She tilted her head at the size of the tunnel.

“You made that? Mind if I ask how?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy continued to walk, mumbling to theirself

“You’ll find out eventually” Oksy pointed at the ceiling “We’re below the mantis village currently”

[daily-nis]

Looking up she nodded, but grew even more curious at what they said. She does suspect they know how to defend themselves, despite being so small, but Nis still has the feeling there is…more. Continuing to follow she was prepared to defend them if necessary, listening closely to their surroundings as well as Oksy’s mumbling. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy walked forward to the tunnels end where they climbed up on a set of small stairs and pushed a metal slab out of the way revealing an area with a ceiling above it

“Here’s the exit” Oksy climbed out of the tunnel continuing to the old elevator shaft down to the ancient basin

[daily-nis]

It was times like these that Nis was glad the form she’d chosen was rather small, just a smidge shorter than Hornet in fact.  Seeing where they were going however she felt the need to offer assistance, though it likely wasn’t needed. “Do you wanna hang onto me or something while we head down?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“I appreciate it but…” Oksy looks at the wall and then walks into the wall by turning into liquid void and appearing a the bottom. Oksy wait there until Nis comes down

[daily-nis]

Nis watched this in shock for a good moment, she’s never seen a Vessel do that.  Hmm. Very cool. Well then since we are using our innate abilities here she’s just going to teleport down and pop up next to Oksy. She figures if they can do that then they won’t be freaked out by it.  “Ok that was seriously awesome, how do you do that?” She’s really asking ‘you’re different, how?’ But she doesn’t want to offend them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Oh…. well” Oksy shrugs but they definitely know.

Oksy continues down to the old palace grounds before facing a wall, starting to climb it with a mantis claw. It’s been awhile since they’ve been here, so they don’t want to be wandering the wall for too long

[daily-nis]

Nis would follow, climbing the wall by…well, sticking to it like a Tiktik. She has a feeling this area is pretty dangerous, and in all honesty she hadn’t been here in a very long time either, and not at all in this particular universe. “It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me, but still…that was great, I need to learn that. Become puddle~” She was staying directly beneath them so that if something happened and they slipped she could catch them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

No comment. Oksy climbed into a smaller carved out tunnel which eventually carved into an area that looked like an inside of a house.

“Haven’t been here in a while” Oksy sat down on a small stool

[daily-nis]

She would squeeze into the tunnel behind them, looking all around when they came out.

“Oh wow- do you live here?”

Nis is really starting to wonder about this little Vessel, they are unlike any others she’s met.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Yes, i made this while still being In the palace, for personal reason”

Oksy hopped off the stool and pushed it under a table

“I Will be right back” Oksy walked to a door and melted through it. The door was made for a larger vessel

[daily-nis]

While still in the palace? The size of the door…their abilities, all pieces to some sort of puzzle she can’t make out yet. “Alrght!” While they were gone she would look around the room, though not touching anything. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Nis would feel a sudden overflow of void In the room Oksy was but as soon as it came it left, at that moment there was a sound of something falling over

“ouch…” Oksy’s voice was muffled by the wall as most of the sound but Nis could hear Oksy getting up and several drawers being opened and closed as Oksy mumbled something

[daily-nis]

Her eyes widened a bit at the feeling and she would listen to noises briefly until Oksy said ‘ouch.’

Following the sounds she would ask, “Are you okay?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Im okay, just tripped”

The last drawer closed… The door unlocked with a click sound, a larger vessel walked out with a cloak that was the same that Oksy had rolled up. They sat down on a chair, also bandages covered up their entire face area.

[daily-nis]

Oddly enough Nis was more focused on the bandages covering their face than the fact they were larger now.

“What- tripped? Do you need healing?”

She’s already approaching, instinctively wanting to reach out and fix whatever is wrong- but she stops herself, waiting for permission.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“No… Ive tried, it wont work…”

They got up walked to drawer opening it and taking out a small sign with four metal spikes hammered through it at each corner and a hammer.

They took the sign to the now opened door, closing it and hammering the sign to it.

The sign read “Oksy”

[daily-nis]

She’s thoroughly perplexed now…

So many questions.

Hopefully they don’t mind her asking them.

“Uhm…why the sign? And…why are you bigger? And why do you think your…wound can’t be healed? How bad is it?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Its my room…” Oksy sat down on a chair “The wounds are really bad. I have a…. transformation ability that allows me to change my form to previous stages… Also the reason i can melt through anything”

[daily-nis]

She tilts her head, hmm…okay, maybe that means ‘dont go in there?’

Either way, when they sit she would try to get a look at the bandages.

“What caused it, do you mind if I look, maybe there’s something that can be done?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“…. Sure but it wont be pretty” Oksy turned their head towards Nis

“like i said Ive tried healing them, In Best case scenario the damage reverts back to the original crack…. But they just Come back after few days… In a painful way”

[daily-nis]

“Perhaps we could at least figure out why it’s happening and go from there?”

She would very, very gently and carefully try to peel away the bandages to get a look. She’s not really affected by the look of a gruesome wound, but she is always heavily drawn to try and help.

Her hands are very much accustomed to working with someone in pain.

[an-unstable-vessel]

Cracks, Oksy's shell was covered In cracks.. Oksy took a finger and slid it across a crack that started from the top and ended a little after their right eye.

"They've grown from that...."

“Thank you Oksy…” She said as she began to follow, getting curious about various things now.

Were they taking the place of Little Ghost in this universe? Or looking for something else? What about that map?

“Can I ask where you got your map? It looks different from others I’ve seen.”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Stole it from the palace while hiding there” that was quite straight forward.

You reached the queen’s station and Oksy jumped down, there was a carved out tunnel in  the wall, it was tall enough that Hollow could walk through it easily

“Made shortcut a little days back” Oksy walked into the tunnel

[daily-nis]

“You….hid in the palace- oh! Uhm…”

She tilted her head at the size of the tunnel.

“You made that? Mind if I ask how?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy continued to walk, mumbling to theirself

“You’ll find out eventually” Oksy pointed at the ceiling “We’re below the mantis village currently”

[daily-nis]

Looking up she nodded, but grew even more curious at what they said. She does suspect they know how to defend themselves, despite being so small, but Nis still has the feeling there is…more. Continuing to follow she was prepared to defend them if necessary, listening closely to their surroundings as well as Oksy’s mumbling. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Oksy walked forward to the tunnels end where they climbed up on a set of small stairs and pushed a metal slab out of the way revealing an area with a ceiling above it

“Here’s the exit” Oksy climbed out of the tunnel continuing to the old elevator shaft down to the ancient basin

[daily-nis]

It was times like these that Nis was glad the form she’d chosen was rather small, just a smidge shorter than Hornet in fact.  Seeing where they were going however she felt the need to offer assistance, though it likely wasn’t needed. “Do you wanna hang onto me or something while we head down?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“I appreciate it but…” Oksy looks at the wall and then walks into the wall by turning into liquid void and appearing a the bottom. Oksy wait there until Nis comes down

[daily-nis]

Nis watched this in shock for a good moment, she’s never seen a Vessel do that.  Hmm. Very cool. Well then since we are using our innate abilities here she’s just going to teleport down and pop up next to Oksy. She figures if they can do that then they won’t be freaked out by it.  “Ok that was seriously awesome, how do you do that?” She’s really asking ‘you’re different, how?’ But she doesn’t want to offend them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Oh…. well” Oksy shrugs but they definitely know.

Oksy continues down to the old palace grounds before facing a wall, starting to climb it with a mantis claw. It’s been awhile since they’ve been here, so they don’t want to be wandering the wall for too long

[daily-nis]

Nis would follow, climbing the wall by…well, sticking to it like a Tiktik. She has a feeling this area is pretty dangerous, and in all honesty she hadn’t been here in a very long time either, and not at all in this particular universe. “It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me, but still…that was great, I need to learn that. Become puddle~” She was staying directly beneath them so that if something happened and they slipped she could catch them.

[an-unstable-vessel]

No comment. Oksy climbed into a smaller carved out tunnel which eventually carved into an area that looked like an inside of a house.

“Haven’t been here in a while” Oksy sat down on a small stool

[daily-nis]

She would squeeze into the tunnel behind them, looking all around when they came out.

“Oh wow- do you live here?”

Nis is really starting to wonder about this little Vessel, they are unlike any others she’s met.

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Yes, i made this while still being In the palace, for personal reason”

Oksy hopped off the stool and pushed it under a table

“I Will be right back” Oksy walked to a door and melted through it. The door was made for a larger vessel

[daily-nis]

While still in the palace? The size of the door…their abilities, all pieces to some sort of puzzle she can’t make out yet. “Alrght!” While they were gone she would look around the room, though not touching anything. 

[an-unstable-vessel]

Nis would feel a sudden overflow of void In the room Oksy was but as soon as it came it left, at that moment there was a sound of something falling over

“ouch…” Oksy’s voice was muffled by the wall as most of the sound but Nis could hear Oksy getting up and several drawers being opened and closed as Oksy mumbled something

[daily-nis]

Her eyes widened a bit at the feeling and she would listen to noises briefly until Oksy said ‘ouch.’

Following the sounds she would ask, “Are you okay?”

[an-unstable-vessel]

“Im okay, just tripped”

The last drawer closed… The door unlocked with a click sound, a larger vessel walked out with a cloak that was the same that Oksy had rolled up. They sat down on a chair, also bandages covered up their entire face area.

[daily-nis]

Oddly enough Nis was more focused on the bandages covering their face than the fact they were larger now.

“What- tripped? Do you need healing?”

She’s already approaching, instinctively wanting to reach out and fix whatever is wrong- but she stops herself, waiting for permission.

[an-unstable-vessel]

"No... Ive tried, it wont work..."

They got up walked to drawer opening it and taking out a small sign with four metal spikes hammered through it at each corner and a hammer.

They took the sign to the now opened door, closing it and hammering the sign to it.

The sign read "Oksy"
