“In another life, you could’ve…”

“I… I don’t focus on what could’ve been.”

“Why not?”

“Because that… that place is…”

“Treacherous? Terrifying?”

“It’s… it’s a trap.”

That’s right, folks - YEAR 4 of our annual FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge begins on Tuesday, September 1st at 12:00pm PST!

More Info: https://ffxiv-write.carrd.co/

Artist Volunteer Sign-up: https://forms.gle/bMojWcWWiUMXZzht5

Questions: My Ask box is open, or ask me on Twitter (MoenMoenFFxiv)

Need a warm-up? Here are some short weekly prompts to get the writing gears in motion:

I challenge you to keep your responses short while writing to these weekly warm-up prompts. Why? Because they’re just warm-ups - a moment for your creative brain to stretch a little before running the marathon.

And, I want you to practice writing short because if, during the Challenge in September, you start feeling creatively exhausted from this marathon, you’ll be able to think back to how short your responses to these warm-ups were and it may encourage you to submit something super short so that you meet your goal of writing every day without overtaxing yourself. I mean it when I say that short and sweet entries count. ❤️ I will accept single sentence entries!

See if you can do one of these warm-ups each week leading up to the Challenge. If you want to repeat one or two of them multiple times, go for it! Whatever you need for your creative brain to feel good and ready.

I won’t be tracking responses to these warm-ups. They’re purely for your benefit. Use the hashtag #FFxivWrite2020 warm-up if you’d like.

WEEKLY WARM-UP IDEAS:

Write a haiku about your character

Write about your character’s facial expression (10 sentences max)

Write a limerick about your character

Write about the sound of your character’s voice (10 sentences max)

Make up your own warm-up idea! (10 sentences max)

Have fun!

RP HOOKS ––––

A Job to Do

She’s good with a sword and excellent in being able to take a hit, and is known for taking less expensive jobs that look to do some good. Often she takes on jobs that pay far less than they should, often acquiring other goods as need be over the course of completion.

Bar/Tavern Regular

Regularly she seems to prowl in any sort of establishment serving alcohol, mostly watching, likely drinking. Sometimes she’s even talkative, in a rare mood, but for the most part, she’s a dour looking figure that might have something interesting to say.

Recognition

Whilst its been years since Lily lived in the Shroud, one who frequented it before the Calamity might recognize the woman she’s become as an orphaned girl who lived in a particularly empty home. Whilst things have changed and that home has burned down, she’s still around, and perhaps you even knew her back then.

What I’m looking for  ––––

Any sort of connections, be it friends, drinking buddies, or battle siblings. Potentially some sort of romantic connection, although such a thing likely requires some deep consideration and discussion. Just anything in general though.

CONTACT INFORMATION ––––

Contact me on Tumblr, in game, or at Aegis#3245 on Discord.

The prize money for winning the unarmed fighting tournament had been substantial, but Rylen felt like he needed something else in order to commemorate his unexpected accomplishment. And so he enlisted the help of his good friend and business partner Svaelfyr to help him construct a trophy of his own. Unfortunately for the craftsman, that meant needing to bronze the floppy fisting dildo that Rylen had purchased from the Bad Dragoon sex shop in Shirogane. Svaelfyr’s endless disappointment and shame aside, it came out pretty well. The triumphant trophy found a permanent home, proudly displayed in Rylen’s apartment for years to come. @renataturner @bornfromblood-xiv

The Seventh Shadow.

The lesson of the Seventh Shadow: Death.

The lowest known chakra of shadow, the seventh is the very connection between the spiritual, the mental, and the basest of urges and instincts - murder. Surviving and thriving through the openings that come above it prepare one for the stark, absolute and unforgiving nature of this chakra. It is a disregard for life, a state of destruction for destruction’s sake. At a glance it may seem like everything one should avoid, and many things that monks are mistaken to be. However, the seventh shadow is both an ending and a beginning. To understand destruction, to truly become acquainted with it on the most spiritual level, one must understand and commune with it in an instinctual and intimate manner . It is why the mastery of the six chakras above it is absolutely vital. To open the seventh without a complete grasp of the others is to doom oneself to sin, damnation and death. 

The chakra is located at the soles of the feet, where one’s connection to the earth is strongest. Through the opening, control and understanding of this chakra, one is given a connection to those that sit above. To wrest control of and master the worst of one’s malice makes comprehensive work of the rest. The chakra functions as any other as a font of aether that not only multiplies those above, but comes with its own destructive force that defies reckoning. 

At advanced levels of function, it is said that this chakra grants one the ability to murder utterly – to remove the spirits of others in entirety and consume them for oneself. For more practical applications, a monk possessed of the seventh chakra can perform the most advanced form of monkhood’s most powerful technique to date: Final Heaven. Final Hell, for those who choose to make the distinction. 

Violet is its aura, dark and deep, aspected in all things, and yet in none, all for the purpose of pure destruction. 

So say the final writings of Berrod Armstrong, Fist of Rhalgr, regarding the Seventh Shadow Chakra.

((Please understand that these writings are extrapolations on existing lore, and based on my own character’s studies and experience. If lore is released that forces adjustments, I’ll be more than happy to do so, but in the meantime, I’ll play in the sandbox that was provided. That being said, if you feel the need to…attack me or my writing over this – please reconsider. I assure you, that time and energy will be better spent leaving me the hell alone. Thanks for understanding! For those who enjoy this, thanks for reading!))
