Why are you running away?

[good-twin-tulsi]

Hello! It's, ah, been a while since i've actually interacted with hylians, so... sorry if i'm not used to this quite yet!

Hi! Mod @smolbeansgobonkers here! This is Tulsi, an oc I made in the loz/linked universe setting. Feel free to send asks and roleplay (please, i crave interaction--)

Some lore about her and her sister, Vitale( @evil-twin-vitale ), is in my main blog under #the goddess sisters, but i'll also reblog it here under #lore

long story short, she's the child of Hylia and Demise, but her parents split her into halves at birth(like Lana and Cia), and Tulsi was raised by Demise-- and by 'raised by Demise' i mean 'trained by Ghirahim'. She never really liked her father and defected to the good side, and she's been helping the Links, whether behind the scenes or directly, since then

she is a goddess and has angel wings, but she never uses her powers unless necessary and keeps her wings hidden

thanks for reading! :)

*An orange cloud has been following you. It hides behind things too small to conceal it. This cloud is easily identified as a baby deity - one with death magic and life magic alike. It's current floating behind a flowerpot that it's using magic to float in front of it.*

*The cloud giggles. This is not a good spy.*

*The cloud - Tori - seems to be whisper singing to herself.*

*Tulsi had been wandering around the two hero of courage's houses, having sensed her worshipper, the hero of legend, split into three; a god of heroes split into more than that; and a baby deity hanging around. she knew every hero of courage got into shenanigans, but this seemed like a little much*

*once she sensed the life and death magic coming from this thing, she melts into the shadows, observing it. since it's very young, it shouldn't pose much of a threat to her, but one can never be too careful*

*she speaks from the shadows behind tori* friend or foe?

[def-not-the-daughter-of-a-legend]

*Tori gasps, turning toward the sound of Tulsi's voice.*

How hide in the shadows? So cool! Whoah!

No' Friend or Foe? Tori! Tori 's Tori 'nd Tori like makin' friends!

Hi! Wha' can Tori call you?

[good-twin-tulsi]

*the shadows shift and form into the shape of tulsi, her eyes two dots of light, staring at you*

it’s a trick i picked up. Useful for staying where goddesses can’t reach me

…hm. Okay. You can call me Tulsi. Goddess of the moon

…how recently did you ascend, tori?

[def-not-the-daughter-of-a-legend]

*Tori gasps again before she trills excitedly.*

Whoah! Tha's so cool!

*She Is quiet for a moment. She can do this. She can say your name. She just... needs... a minute.*

'Ulsi? No wai' hang on, Tori can do i'. T-ulsi. Tulsi? 'S a nice name!

*Tori giggles at your question.*

Uhm... li'l while? Tori 's... one year old as cloud! Tori have hard 'ime with ... with 'ime.

*She's a very young deity, unable to make a solid shape in any realm yet.*

Tori like your magic. Feel familiar.

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she smiles. you can't quite see it but... you just know she's smiling. somehow*

thank you, little one. i like your name too

*she hums, stepping out of the shadows once she's informed of your age* alright tori, i think you and i could be pretty good friends

...you might've known a different version of me. taller, i've gathered, and older looking, with some kind of connection to the hero of courage who lives in that house down there *she points to reds house*

[def-not-the-daughter-of-a-legend]

*She doesn't question the knowledge of your smile despite not seeing it. That simply is.*

Really? Thank you!

*Tori gasps as you step out of the shaddows.*

Whoah... You're so so so pre'y!

*She has a fairly good hold on hylian but struggles to make 't' sounds.*

*Tori giggles and trills.*

Maybe! Tori know so many people before Tori die! Tori no' remember much from 'fore though! Tori likes Red though he's super nice 'nd smar' 'nd silly!

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she smiles, chuckles a bit* thank you! i worked hard on this appearance

that's okay, i've heard that's a lot of ascendee's experiences. i'm glad red is nice though. he seemed a little sour when he saw me last, but i think it's because of the time hopping bs surrounding him

*she dissapears and reappears in front of you, looking a lot... younger than usual*

...why are you a cleric of me, exactly? did another version of me ask you too or...?

@good-twin-tulsi

*he stares at you in disbelief for a while*

...what the actual fuck.

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she tilts her head* that didn't answer any of my questions

[literal-legend-rabbit]

it wasn't supposed to

...exactly where in the timeline are you from?

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she huffs* answer my questions first, then i'll think about telling you

[literal-legend-rabbit]

*he sighs* fine. i technically worship you because i was pissed at every other goddess. but we're more friends than goddess and devotee

[good-twin-tulsi]

hm. that's weird. but i guess it works out for me! you're way more magically skilled than any hero of courage i've met!

...i come from the part of the timeline where the hero of time went back and fixed everything, and now he's in a far away land called termina. in fact, i was just there helping him when i somehow ended up in your timeline, and i would like to go back

[literal-legend-rabbit]

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

*the next time (future) blackthorne returns to his domain, there is a familiar child roaming about. how she got here, you're unsure, but her hair is that exact shade of purple you've gotten so used to seeing and her relatively small dark wings flutter in the same pattern though... you can sense that one of the wings is an illusion. she finally turns to look at you and-- beyond recognition of tulsi's face-- the first emotion that cones to mind is horror, as you see all the scars she's probably hidden and done away with in the form you know her, very clear for all to see, on the body of a child*

*she levels you with a gaze that betrays she's far older than she looks* who are you and how did i get here?

@good-twin-tulsi

*Tending to the flowers while having a new deity about is difficult. Hed just been taking five minutes. When he felt your presence. Moving to investigate carefully.*

What happened?

*He looks at you. Blinking a few times. Its been a strange few days.*

You... dont... no. No your...

Im sorry. Where are my manners.

*He gives a small bow.*

I am the Gardener. Patron of fate. But my name is Blackthorne. And these are the gardens of fate. As for why you are here. That i dont know.

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she hums, looking you over before turning and looking up*

...i don't suppose you know of any connections between your domain and a little town called termina? or a young hero's mind?

*she pauses for a moment, then looks back to you* my name is Tulsi. goddess of the moon. but from the look on your face i assume you knew that already

...have we met before?

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

I know of many heroes. I have overlooked all of them.

Termina? I know of that name only from stories. For the place itself is out of my reach.

Goddess of the moon... Tulsi. A pleasure.

I... yes. But I know a version of you much further along in the timeline. Perhaps if you tell me of your hero. I can see if I can locate him here?

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she tilts her head* that's funny, i do the same thing

... a pleasure to meet you as well, i guess. you're the second person i've met who's already met me in some capacity, and it's quite off-putting

he's young, kind of? i think the kid's lived more life than he lets on. *she holds her hand in the air* about this tall, carries a time-traveling ocarina and has a fairy companion

i believed he would be the hero of time... i think he still is, but i didn't get to witness it in my timeline

*despite her voice and body being that of a child's, she seems to have much more confidence than the tulsi you know*

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

I suppose in a sense we do.

*He chuckles.*

I apologise. In this timeline we exist in parallel with orher timelines. Many have come to connect in a way which dictates that seeing someone older or younger self. Isnt the most unusual thing. But for one entering it for the first time it might be a little off putting.

Ahh yes. I know the one. His flower is around somewhere I am sure but I have never met him myself.

What is it that brought you here? Magic? Sleep?

[good-twin-tulsi]

i get the feeling you play a less... active role in their lives then i do, though, considering i've never heard of you

*she huffs and crosses her arms* just because i look younger than the one you know doesn't mean i am. i'm usually a lot taller and older looking than this, i'll have you know

*you get the feeling she missed the point of your statement*

...if his... "flower" is here, that means he's okay, right?

i don't know. i was returning some of the displaced fairies to the great fairy fountain for link, but instead of the fountain, i ended up here! *she looks aangry for a minute, but then her expression softens*

...sorry i just... i really hope link and the fairies are okay

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

It is only recently I have been able to be more active in their lives. But fate is something to be watched. Not messed with.

I never said which one you were. I know i myself am the older. Its possible we both are. There is simply no way to know.

As the flowers are representations of a person. And how they grow and experience life. Then I would hope so. But I cannot tell you where it is without knowing more about him.

It is quite alright. I am aware of having a soft spot for a hero or two. Its nice to know the hero of time was not alone.

The hero of time... I wonder...

*He begins a spell. Pulling on the magics of the gardens around him.*

I will attempt to locate his flower. Tell me more of this child.

[good-twin-tulsi]

makes sense. My domain is less fate and more… being pissed at both hylia and demise at the same time. I’m not technically supposed to protect the hero, but when hylia keeps throwing child soldiers around, i have to do something

*she sighs* i guess so

…alright then

*she looks away*

he… he’s very loyal, and will do just about anything to help a friend, including venture into a dangerous forest with no idea where they are, or go through a second adventure to save a town he knows nothing about. He’s currently looking to destroy the old bitch majora and he’s freed two out of the four giants that watch over termina. i think he’s also trapped in termina, as am i, but i can’t figure out why

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

I see...

It is good to see those who are able move into the fray. Thank you for doing that for him.

*He sighs.*

Indeed.

*He searches for a while. A young child. A vareity of flowers enters his hands and then leaves. Young gladiolus, snapdragon and iris. Before it settles on an Anemone. A gentle flower with a subtle green hue. Known for being able to survive the harshest of environments*

Ahh. Yes. Here.

*bringing it to the front it settles in his hands before it begins to wilt. His face twists in concern as it does. A hand traces up one of its petals as it appears to almost flicker in and out.*

He is... alive. For now. That much I can tell you. But its hard to keep a lock on it. For he is not in this world. Trapped in another would explain this. And hopefully the wilting too...

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she smiles a bit, tilting her head and looking up at you witha tad bit of... admiration, is that?*

hm-- you're the first deity to react positively to that

*she watches you search with intrigue, sitting in the air with her legs crossed and observing your magic as you move through the flowers*

*her face drops to worry, though, as she sees the wilt in the flower and she looks up at you*

i uh... fuck. i didn't realize... just how far removed termina is.... shit. that majora must be really something, if they had to...

...unless it's something other than the majora... fuuuuck *she groans, tilting her head back* i reallyyy hope the kid's okay...

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

*the next time (future) blackthorne returns to his domain, there is a familiar child roaming about. how she got here, you're unsure, but her hair is that exact shade of purple you've gotten so used to seeing and her relatively small dark wings flutter in the same pattern though... you can sense that one of the wings is an illusion. she finally turns to look at you and-- beyond recognition of tulsi's face-- the first emotion that cones to mind is horror, as you see all the scars she's probably hidden and done away with in the form you know her, very clear for all to see, on the body of a child*

... a pleasure to meet you as well, i guess. you're the second person i've met who's already met me in some capacity, and it's quite off-putting

he's young, kind of? i think the kid's lived more life than he lets on. *she holds her hand in the air* about this tall, carries a time-traveling ocarina and has a fairy companion

i believed he would be the hero of time... i think he still is, but i didn't get to witness it in my timeline

*despite her voice and body being that of a child's, she seems to have much more confidence than the tulsi you know*

[the-gardener-patron-of-fate]

*the next time (future) blackthorne returns to his domain, there is a familiar child roaming about. how she got here, you're unsure, but her hair is that exact shade of purple you've gotten so used to seeing and her relatively small dark wings flutter in the same pattern though... you can sense that one of the wings is an illusion. she finally turns to look at you and-- beyond recognition of tulsi's face-- the first emotion that cones to mind is horror, as you see all the scars she's probably hidden and done away with in the form you know her, very clear for all to see, on the body of a child*

*she levels you with a gaze that betrays she's far older than she looks* who are you and how did i get here?

@good-twin-tulsi

*Tending to the flowers while having a new deity about is difficult. Hed just been taking five minutes. When he felt your presence. Moving to investigate carefully.*

What happened?

*He looks at you. Blinking a few times. Its been a strange few days.*

You... dont... no. No your...

Im sorry. Where are my manners.

*He gives a small bow.*

I am the Gardener. Patron of fate. But my name is Blackthorne. And these are the gardens of fate. As for why you are here. That i dont know.

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she hums, looking you over before turning and looking up*

...i don't suppose you know of any connections between your domain and a little town called termina? or a young hero's mind?

*she pauses for a moment, then looks back to you* my name is Tulsi. goddess of the moon. but from the look on your face i assume you knew that already

...have we met before?

[good-twin-tulsi]

*Future Tulsi feels the twili bond with Tori snap - quick and sharp. Those bonds only break through a mutual decision or death... Tori is gone and chances are she's lost somewhere.*

*If you have a twili bond with anyone else in her family you can feel the tidal waves ovlf grief.*

*When she feels the bond break, she curses, tears welling in her eyes* no-- not again not again not again--

*she quickly steps through the shadows to find @audrah-patron-of-protection* wh-what happened? Where's the green hero of legend?

[audrah-patron-of-protection]

*Audrah is in Tori's room with her body, working on cleaning things up. She turns.*

Oh - Tulsi. Hi... Clover is... split.... oh dear he hasn't done that in a while...

You can find the emotional part of him in the orchard.

Little Spider ascended... but it was... ugly. Right now she's... somewhere.

[good-twin-tulsi]

Oh-- oh fuck. okay. uhm, well... at least she's not dead..?

*this was somehow both a massive relief and a huge stressor*

*she opens a shadow portal towards green, but doesn't go through it yet, instead stepping closer to audrah* are... you okay? do you need anything?

[audrah-patron-of-protection]

No, not dead. Blackthorne is keeping an eye on her, you can likely find out more from him...

*She startles, and the very question seems to break sometime in her.*

I... have not been close enough to a mortal to have a bond with them in a very very long time.... I had forgot how much it hurts to lose them.

...

Can I... have a hug?

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she is very quick to pull you into a hug, making herself a tad bit taller than usual in order to be a better support for you. she runs her fingers through the bottom of your hair gently, staying as comfortinf as she can for as long as you need*

[audrah-patron-of-protection]

*She just wraps her arms around you, purring in a way that is self soothing. This is... going to be okay. She knows it.*

Are you okay? I know you liked Tori.... she was always able to handle being around you, and you around her.

[good-twin-tulsi]

I-- i'm... better, now that i know she's ascended. the, ah, the bond shattered and i... asuumed the worst

just-- just let me know how i can best help you and i'll be there. and-- knowing tori and her adaptiveness, i'm sure she'll master godhood in no time

*she smiles in an attempt to get you to smile back*

[audrah-patron-of-protection]

Yes... it is jarring to experience... had I not been present I would have also assumed the worst.

I... will try.

*She does smile back because the response is ingrained.*

The fates that are left plan to help her... I am not sure they'll ready for what that entails.

[good-twin-tulsi]

*she nudges her head into your shoulder*

well, i trust with your help, and maybe blackthorne's, greens, and ours, we'll be able to get her on her feet. you already have experience with this, anyways

[audrah-patron-of-protection]

Yes... I know. I suppose all we can do is wait for now.

... I despise waiting.

*She drops her head to rest on yours.*

[good-twin-tulsi]

agreed. waiting sucks

*she continues to run her fingers through your hair softly* ...any ideas to pass the time?

[good-twin-tulsi]
