Lotus blinked and stared blankly. Was she sealed away, or perhaps even fell into a deep sleep like he did? Losing that much time was never something he thought others would be familiar with. Stuck, unable to do anything… even when his loved one was right there in front of him.

“You lost three hundred years…? That sounds like – what happened to me… It was… a coma…”

Lotus held his hands together, eyeing the boat that the other had picked out.

“Do you really think sending that out will help… or is it just symbolic for you…?”

      she’s surprised to hear that someone else could relate to losing a large amount of time. of course, there were several that were currently trapped in crystal in her dimension as she had been -- one being her husband. it’s somewhat hard to dance around the fact she was guilty of a crime and thus crystallised -- she doesn’t know how people outside of her situation would take that really.

      ❝ yes, well -- a bit over three hundred, though i was imprisoned in crystal. what happened with you, dear? if it isn’t too much to ask. ❞

      the queen glances down at the boat in her hand when it’s brought up.

      ❝ i suppose it’s symbolic. the past is just that -- the past -- and so it cannot be changed easily. symbolism may help to move on from it. if i’m being honest, though, i think it will always hurt but we must deal with what we are given. ❞

       she keeps a steady pace away from familiar figures from her past -- there’s a strong distaste for having to hurt the ones she loves and so she avoids doing so at possibly the expense of others’ safeties ( she feels bad and yet -- ). despite her avoidance, she attempts to help who she can and continuously scans the area for the living -- then she spots someone newly familiar in this place and her fears and worry become overwhelming as though it were her own child caught in the middle of this all. parasol opens with a flourish as electric purple cracks forcefully from it like a whip, slamming into the small group of shamblers heading in the boy’s direction -- placing her body between them and him.

      ❝ i would never have thought this was how we were to meet again. ❞

      she jokes nervously, turning to the boy and kneeling down in front of him once she’d dispatched the shamblers.

      ❝ are you okay, sweetie? are you hurt? ❞

      unfortunately, without her full range of magic with her she tires easily from continuous fighting. if she had been more selfish and taken to hiding she would be fine but she couldn’t sit idly while others ran for their lives while she had the means to protect them and get them to safety. once she’s certain she’s helped everyone outside, she finds herself shelter in a nearby building, leaning herself against a wall and holding her parasol close -- only noticing another moments after taking a deep breath. of course, her concern still isn’t placed on herself as she addresses the stranger.

      ❝ are you alright, dear? you aren’t hurt are you? ❞

      the queen has a feeling it may be best to find shelter but with inhabitants and people trying to keep their lives she takes the course of action in which she attempts to save those who can’t save themselves. a whisper leaves her lips after a twirl and flourish with her parasol --

❝ midnight shriek.❞

      -- and the group of shamblers attempting to chase down innocents stops in their tracks and hold their heads as if they are in pain -- which they very much are. it’s only after that she notices the other woman nearby.

      ❝ oh, hello, dear. how are you faring? ❞

Festivals bring everyone out from the woodworks, yes?

Unfortunately, I’m not walking out on a tab this go around.  Unless you’d like me to.

      ❝ well, i won’t stop you if that’s what you want to do. i’m not one to judge other peoples’ forms of fun -- especially if it isn’t really hurting anyone. though, you know, mischief can easily be done outside of festivals, love. and i’ve had a few more spells returned to me recently. ❞

“Ah, Miss Eclipsa…”

“I don’t deserve to send anything out. Or… I’m kind of dead too. So I could send my own self out… does that count? And uh… what do you mean unconventional definition?”

      ❝ everyone deserves to honour those we miss, sweetie. dead or not. ❞

      ❝ i would like to think that would count. my unconventional definition is for, well, myself.  back in my dimension i lost quite a bit of my life -- three hundred years, in fact. i suppose sending this boat is a way for me to come to terms with my loss. selfish as it may seem, it’s something i need to do for me. and if you need to send one for yourself as well, i certainly agree with the sentiment. ❞

Star heard about the reason for the festival, but she didn’t personally know anyone close to her that passed. Even so it was still nice to honor the dead and she wanted to at least pay respects. When Star came down to the shore side she didn’t expect to see anyone she knew there. Unlike before, seeing Eclipsa did make her feel better, their previous talk had helped a lot and though it was unfair they at least had each other here.

With a small smile she came up beside Eclipsa, holding a rather colorful little boat up to show her. “I thought I’d pay some respects.. I don’t have anyone in mind exactly but…” Her sentence trails off as she looks at Eclipsa’s boat. “Um… do you? I mean are you honoring someone specifically?”

      ❝ that’s very sweet of you, star. ❞

       the queen smiles as the teen speaks up -- eyes trailing down to her own boat once it’s brought up. there were several people she could honour the memories of -- living and dead or otherwise lost in a purgatory. 

      ❝ yes. well, these boats are meant to honour those we love, regardless of living status. while i miss quite a few, this specific boat is meant for my own mother. ❞

      her eyes stay locked on her boat, shifting silently as she pauses and thinks hard about continuing. it isn’t the nicest memory and the fact she was taken from her so young still hurt even now -- though the warm memories of her that came with remembering may be worth it.

      ❝ you know...she was taken from me when i was not much older than you. ❞

       how unfortunate for something meant for mourning to be destroyed in this sort of way. if it wasn’t enough to resurrect the dead here but playing with their minds and showing them loved ones she knows aren’t dead in the crowd of undead was too much -- though if they were showing up she was certainly not looking forward to meeting her warrior mother among them at some point. she tries her very best to stay away from them -- she’s not willing to kill any of them and seeing how she’d faltered once before she knows she’ll end up doing so again and putting others in more danger than they were already. the regular shamblers, however, she was fine with -- parasol opening and firing a whip of electric purple at a group of them to move them from another nearby.

        ❝ are you alright, dear? i do believe finding shelter would be the most ideal course of action. i can help if you’d like. ❞

“To think I’d find such a like-minded individual at this festival. How have you been, dearie? Have you come here to pay your respects to someone you’ve lost? Perhaps some loved one that has gone before you even?”

       ❝ i suppose i’m as fine as one can be when taken from their own dimension for so long. but, oh, yes, i have plenty of people lost to me. and yourself, dear? ❞

hey so i got a clarification from the mods - anyone from your character’s past who isn’t currently on the island can be a zombie/ghost, even if they aren’t dead.

      ❝ well, the food is quite nice, isn’t it? i suppose it’s to be accompanied by just as lovely conversation. though i’m not sure if many are up for it. it’s just a bit awkward, isn’t it, love?  ❞
