Coeurlclaw Arc: The Three Sisters

The Coeurlclaw huntress Duli standing her ground against the members of the House of Harmony.

The first real plot of the House of Harmony is well under way as the group went from planning to meet with some Coeurlclaw huntresses to vowing to find the murderers of two of them. 

The summary, a summary of the summary (because I’m long winded, surprise surprise), hooks for moving forward, and the full event log are all in this document. If you’d like to get involved, look at the Next Steps section and see if that fits anything your character would do! And/or message me on discord and we can work something out. 

Big ups to everyone that showed up! I’m excited to see where this goes, and I’m glad my NPC didn’t die. 

…..yet

🍰what’s my muse’s guilty pleasure?

I’m going to answer this OOCly, because Kahni would not give this a straight or honest answer.

Kahni actually really enjoys being around children. She always wanted to be a mother, and despite appearances is quite nurturing. Outwardly, she tries to show herself as not caring one way or another regarding wanting, being around, or having children, but this is far from the truth.

She enjoys taking care of children, and it pains her to see any child harmed or in unsafe conditions. She’d make for a great babysitter.

An Old, Faded Entry

[The text is written in poorly scribbled Eorzean, the script almost childlike. The parchment is old and worn, stained with splotches of water. It’s been crumpled and folded until the words are barely legible, but they can be read. It’s been buried under Kahni’s bag for what seems like cycles, and has fallen out after she cleaned everything out one day to make room for new items for traveling.]

Everything is a reminder of what I’ve lost. Even these words, they are words taught to me by him. We have no need of the written like this in the depths of the Shroud. Menphina blesses us with the spoken and with keen sight. Everything that was passed down to me was from my mother or aunts, or from the former priestess by word or deed.

He taught me so much, and I taught him things he should never know of. How the forest sings, how everything has its place in the world, how it is all a cycle. I enjoyed indulging the healthy thirst for knowledge, I wanted to share what I knew. In a way, it was amusing to talk to someone who knew so little of what seemed so simple and common knowledge to me. And when he taught me, I understood a bit of the other side, stumbling like a newborn in a world I struggled to comprehend.

I had wanted to laugh forever.

In the end, the forest takes what it gives, that is simply the way of things. I understand this. I understood it when I lost my children. I grieved for them, I buried them, I prayed for them and I continued on. Yet this time I cannot find it in my heart to return home and resume my duties as priestess. I cannot find it in myself to devote myself to Menphina and to the clan when I feel an intrinsic part of myself has disappeared for the last time. I feel I have lost too many pieces of myself, if I lose anything more what will I be able to give to the goddess? To my clan?

I will have to find myself again. And I no longer believe what I seek, who I am, is within the Shroud.

Anna and Suki went to the Sanguine Shadow for their Wild Wings Wednesday again, and were treated to their first experience of Savo’s music.

OOC Thoughts

Do you ever love a character because you know and understand how complex they are but also kind of hate it because they’re so good at hiding it that it’ll likely never come out in RP?

I want to try and pull some of Kahni’s past out of her but she is incredibly good at keeping her ‘mask’ on, so to speak. Maybe interacting with other cattes will help. Or she’ll just dig her heels in deeper. Who knows?

Keeper Eye Glow is now canon to me and I’ve decided Tiergan inherited it from his mom. :V

I am ALL FOR Kahni having the Keeper Eye Glow.

Kahni’s Notes

Whoo! I won the wing challenge at The Sanguine Shadow! I am a spicy wing eating champion!

And they gave me some free aldgoat sliders too. Special ones. And they were so delicious I thought I was going to die from happiness. I am definitely going to go there again.

Everyone was nice and the food was delicious and I left full! I left full.

Someone tried to leave without paying and I think they got shot? I don’t know. And another person was so loud they should try and be an opera singer!

And Crish kept eating my food. >:(

A thin keeper sang on stage and her lyrics were funny! I liked her. She spoke to us as they were closing. I think Crish was impressed by her and wants her to stop by for a season to fatten her up. She is really thin.

I need to start looking for work in earnest.

How come reading tea leaves is seen as this sophisticated, witchy thing but if I slam dunk an open can of Chef Boyardee ravioli onto the pavement in the gas station parking lot to see what kind of soda the old ones think I should buy, foodstuff divination suddenly isn’t cool anymore?

[c3rvida3]

‘Tis the fuckin’ season, friends!! Get out there and live your worst life!!

[memereposts]

What the fuck is happening

[c3rvida3]

Why don’t you grab a can of ravioli and ask!

[cattesmith]

I got them I’m proud of myself for not being a lazy asshole.

Kahni is so fucking extra I love her.

Acknowledging her place in the larger scheme of things, recognizing the stubborn material and metaphysical truth about the interconnectedness of all things, Hushpuppy believes her highest calling is to care for others, starting with those closest to her—since it is “we who the earth is for.” And before feeding [her father] the alligator, she courageously dismisses her demons by saying, “I gotta take care of mine.” (x)
