"..."

-> She seems a bit... lost.

- Nellie (@martyr-complex-fighter)

From the corner of Nellie's eye, a being would hop out of one of the many glowing stars in the air. Although it'd so in a way best described as "telegraphed", to not startle badly any who may witness it.

"Is... is it you, my liege? My delight for you figuring the way to Aspiration shines bright! And yet, something tells me... to offer you guidance on the ways of this place."

"Oh, uh- yeah..."

-> She scratches the back of her head awkwardly.

"I could... use some guidance, ehehe..."

Hope gracefully bowed for its liege.

"Certainly, my liege! So, just as the others have their own domains, Aspiration is mine. Nothin' much in variation compared to the rest, as long as you look up and follow the brightest stars."

It'd motion at said stars, guiding a path through gardens full of flowers, some with softly glowing petals of their own and swaying back and forth with vitality, before pointing at a tall mountain in the distance.

"They'll guide you up there. To my favorite observation spot. Its easier to see from there what the latest hope of yours is crossing the sky as a shooting star."

-> She nods.

"Alright..."

"Speaking off... I shall be there! For I must make haste in case a new hope rises."

Hope would go ahead of Nellie by jumping high enough to use said brightest stars as platforms to make its path.

-> She begins walking, looking around.

With the brightest stars guiding the way, the path ahead seemed pretty straightforward, the occasional cliffs and hills hanging around said path aside.

Strangely enough, it was like some cliffs' flower patterns reflected Nellie's memories. The best, most hope-bringing memories she had.

-> She smiles after seeing each one, each from both before and during the cross of her journey.

After enough walking, the tall cliff where Hope sat at the top of was near. The view at the top had a modest beauty, and was the best to not only look closer above the ceiling of Aspiration, but behind to see every cliff's mark.

"This place is nice..."

"Indeed!"

Hope's voice was, all at once, distant and near. Even when it was technically, far enough to be heard with difficulty.

-> Being here is a nice change of pace for her, especially with that "helping others even at one's own expense" inclination she carries constantly.

Hope would be gazing at the sky of Aspiration. Trying to see if any shooting star symbolizing a great hope was near.

Was there a recent hope in Nellie's mind?

-> She looks up as well. She has plenty of hopes, but the one still burning strongest is her hope to be able to set things right.

Many of those shooting stars representing these hopes, Hope had already seen. Still, seeing the biggest one along with the little ones once again traveling through Aspiration's skies... was always beautiful. Always a good reminder for Hope itself.

"We will achieve that hope soon. I believe in us."

-> She nods.

"It's gonna take some work, but..."

There wasn't something like eyes nor mouth on Hope's face, but a similar sentiment clearly emanated from its being. The knowledge of difficulty, yet willpower to fulfill the hope.

-> She's clearly been through a lot on her way to achieve that hope. It makes sense - she is the sort of person who would try to help others even if it comes at her own expense.

That meant, Hope extended itself towards the one Nellie cared about too. Still, it agreed with its liege in that she deserved some well-earned rest. So, out of respect for that wish, it wouldn't talk further until any more words were directed toward it.

"It feels good to unwind for once, not gonna lie..."

"Understandable, my liege. Your rest is well-earned."

"Yeah... I never really, well- give myself a lot of chances to catch a break..."

Hope hummed, thoughtful.

"Then, take as long as you need here. Then, if you feel like you must, you may return to... what you were doing."

-> She nods, sitting down to rest while humming something to herself.

Hope itself just tapped its foot along, while watching over the flowers with glowing petals, swaying and filled with delight.

-> She looks truly, TRULY at ease for once.

Hope couldn't help but form a smile over its, up until then, featureless face.

-> She soon takes something out of her pocket, looking at it.

Hope gazed at the drawn item, somewhat curious.

-> What she's holding is a necklace of some sort.

"I need to make another one of these soon..."

"Indeed! It will, hopefully be as marvelous as this one, no matter which purpose you find for it."

-> She nods gleefully.

"So, what may it be made out of? Seashells? Perhaps the prettiest flowers!"

"Maybe... both?"

Hope excitedly came to a conclusion on its own.

"Oh! Yes! Seashell AND flower necklace! Absolutely flawless ideal!"

"Mhm!"

"My realm doesn't have a beach, but...!"

Hope, in a flash, plucked up a few of the flowers within Aspiration. They all seemed to be heavily varied and could come from anywhere in reality.

"Here." It offered, forming a happy litle grin.

"Thanks!"

"No problem, my liege!"

"Now I just need some string..."

Oooh. ...there wasn't anything like traditional string in Aspiration. But there was some occasional vines. Would them count?

-> It certainly would for her.

Once it got Nellie's approval, Hope proceeded to chop a few of the vines for the necklace. It swiped at the vines with its cutlasses with impressive, master swordsman-levels of ease.

"Maybe I should start practicing using my sword more..."

"If you're up to it, we may spar once the necklace is concluded." Hope offered.

-> She nods eagerly again.

"Yeah!"

"f you say so." Hope nodded while helping Nellie weave the vine for the necklace.

-> She looks like she's having quite a bit of fun with this.

This made Hope feel, fulfilled in a way. Bringing hope to its liege.

-> She soon begins humming again.

Hope joined in, with a subtle but beautiful voice.

-> She's still content to be here and be able to just relax like this.

And so was Hope in keeping company to its liege. Even if... part of it felt like it had to remind her to get a move on soon after the rest.

-> Her personality wouldn't make a reminder like that much of a necessity, to say the least.

Yeah, likely. Anyhow, Hope would up its singing a notch for the fun of it.

"What song is that?"

"..."

-> She seems a bit... lost.

-> Being here is a nice change of pace for her, especially with that "helping others even at one's own expense" inclination she carries constantly.

Hope would be gazing at the sky of Aspiration. Trying to see if any shooting star symbolizing a great hope was near.

Was there a recent hope in Nellie's mind?

-> She looks up as well. She has plenty of hopes, but the one still burning strongest is her hope to be able to set things right.

Many of those shooting stars representing these hopes, Hope had already seen. Still, seeing the biggest one along with the little ones once again traveling through Aspiration's skies... was always beautiful. Always a good reminder for Hope itself.

"We will achieve that hope soon. I believe in us."

-> She nods.

"It's gonna take some work, but..."

There wasn't something like eyes nor mouth on Hope's face, but a similar sentiment clearly emanated from its being. The knowledge of difficulty, yet willpower to fulfill the hope.

-> She's clearly been through a lot on her way to achieve that hope. It makes sense - she is the sort of person who would try to help others even if it comes at her own expense.

That meant, Hope extended itself towards the one Nellie cared about too. Still, it agreed with its liege in that she deserved some well-earned rest. So, out of respect for that wish, it wouldn't talk further until any more words were directed toward it.

"It feels good to unwind for once, not gonna lie..."

"Understandable, my liege. Your rest is well-earned."

"Yeah... I never really, well- give myself a lot of chances to catch a break..."

Hope hummed, thoughtful.

"Then, take as long as you need here. Then, if you feel like you must, you may return to... what you were doing."

-> She nods, sitting down to rest while humming something to herself.

Hope itself just tapped its foot along, while watching over the flowers with glowing petals, swaying and filled with delight.

-> She looks truly, TRULY at ease for once.

Hope couldn't help but form a smile over its, up until then, featureless face.

-> She soon takes something out of her pocket, looking at it.

Hope gazed at the drawn item, somewhat curious.

-> What she's holding is a necklace of some sort.

"I need to make another one of these soon..."

"Indeed! It will, hopefully be as marvelous as this one, no matter which purpose you find for it."

-> She nods gleefully.

"So, what may it be made out of? Seashells? Perhaps the prettiest flowers!"

"Maybe... both?"

Hope excitedly came to a conclusion on its own.

"Oh! Yes! Seashell AND flower necklace! Absolutely flawless ideal!"

"Mhm!"

"My realm doesn't have a beach, but...!"

Hope, in a flash, plucked up a few of the flowers within Aspiration. They all seemed to be heavily varied and could come from anywhere in reality.

"Here." It offered, forming a happy litle grin.

"Thanks!"

"No problem, my liege!"

"Now I just need some string..."

Oooh. ...there wasn't anything like traditional string in Aspiration. But there was some occasional vines. Would them count?

-> It certainly would for her.

Once it got Nellie's approval, Hope proceeded to chop a few of the vines for the necklace. It swiped at the vines with its cutlasses with impressive, master swordsman-levels of ease.

"Maybe I should start practicing using my sword more..."

"If you're up to it, we may spar once the necklace is concluded." Hope offered.

-> She nods eagerly again.

"Yeah!"

"..."

-> She seems a bit... lost.

- Nellie (@martyr-complex-fighter)

From the corner of Nellie's eye, a being would hop out of one of the many glowing stars in the air. Although it'd so in a way best described as "telegraphed", to not startle badly any who may witness it.

"Is... is it you, my liege? My delight for you figuring the way to Aspiration shines bright! And yet, something tells me... to offer you guidance on the ways of this place."

"Oh, uh- yeah..."

-> She scratches the back of her head awkwardly.

"I could... use some guidance, ehehe..."

Hope gracefully bowed for its liege.

"Certainly, my liege! So, just as the others have their own domains, Aspiration is mine. Nothin' much in variation compared to the rest, as long as you look up and follow the brightest stars."

It'd motion at said stars, guiding a path through gardens full of flowers, some with softly glowing petals of their own and swaying back and forth with vitality, before pointing at a tall mountain in the distance.

"They'll guide you up there. To my favorite observation spot. Its easier to see from there what the latest hope of yours is crossing the sky as a shooting star."

-> She nods.

"Alright..."

"Speaking off... I shall be there! For I must make haste in case a new hope rises."

Hope would go ahead of Nellie by jumping high enough to use said brightest stars as platforms to make its path.

-> She begins walking, looking around.

With the brightest stars guiding the way, the path ahead seemed pretty straightforward, the occasional cliffs and hills hanging around said path aside.

Strangely enough, it was like some cliffs' flower patterns reflected Nellie's memories. The best, most hope-bringing memories she had.

-> She smiles after seeing each one, each from both before and during the cross of her journey.

After enough walking, the tall cliff where Hope sat at the top of was near. The view at the top had a modest beauty, and was the best to not only look closer above the ceiling of Aspiration, but behind to see every cliff's mark.

"This place is nice..."

"Indeed!"

Hope's voice was, all at once, distant and near. Even when it was technically, far enough to be heard with difficulty.

That meant, Hope extended itself towards the one Nellie cared about too. Still, it agreed with its liege in that she deserved some well-earned rest. So, out of respect for that wish, it wouldn't talk further until any more words were directed toward it.

"It feels good to unwind for once, not gonna lie..."

"Understandable, my liege. Your rest is well-earned."

"Yeah... I never really, well- give myself a lot of chances to catch a break..."

Hope hummed, thoughtful.

"Then, take as long as you need here. Then, if you feel like you must, you may return to... what you were doing."

-> She nods, sitting down to rest while humming something to herself.

Hope itself just tapped its foot along, while watching over the flowers with glowing petals, swaying and filled with delight.

-> She looks truly, TRULY at ease for once.

Hope couldn't help but form a smile over its, up until then, featureless face.

-> She soon takes something out of her pocket, looking at it.

Hope gazed at the drawn item, somewhat curious.

-> What she's holding is a necklace of some sort.

"I need to make another one of these soon..."

"Indeed! It will, hopefully be as marvelous as this one, no matter which purpose you find for it."

-> She nods gleefully.

"So, what may it be made out of? Seashells? Perhaps the prettiest flowers!"

"Maybe... both?"

"..."

-> She seems a bit... lost.

- Nellie (@martyr-complex-fighter)

From the corner of Nellie's eye, a being would hop out of one of the many glowing stars in the air. Although it'd so in a way best described as "telegraphed", to not startle badly any who may witness it.

"Is... is it you, my liege? My delight for you figuring the way to Aspiration shines bright! And yet, something tells me... to offer you guidance on the ways of this place."

"Oh, uh- yeah..."

-> She scratches the back of her head awkwardly.

"I could... use some guidance, ehehe..."

Hope gracefully bowed for its liege.

"Certainly, my liege! So, just as the others have their own domains, Aspiration is mine. Nothin' much in variation compared to the rest, as long as you look up and follow the brightest stars."

It'd motion at said stars, guiding a path through gardens full of flowers, some with softly glowing petals of their own and swaying back and forth with vitality, before pointing at a tall mountain in the distance.

"They'll guide you up there. To my favorite observation spot. Its easier to see from there what the latest hope of yours is crossing the sky as a shooting star."

-> She nods.

"Alright..."

"Speaking off... I shall be there! For I must make haste in case a new hope rises."

Hope would go ahead of Nellie by jumping high enough to use said brightest stars as platforms to make its path.

-> She begins walking, looking around.

With the brightest stars guiding the way, the path ahead seemed pretty straightforward, the occasional cliffs and hills hanging around said path aside.

Strangely enough, it was like some cliffs' flower patterns reflected Nellie's memories. The best, most hope-bringing memories she had.

-> She smiles after seeing each one, each from both before and during the cross of her journey.

After enough walking, the tall cliff where Hope sat at the top of was near. The view at the top had a modest beauty, and was the best to not only look closer above the ceiling of Aspiration, but behind to see every cliff's mark.

"This place is nice..."

"Indeed!"

Hope's voice was, all at once, distant and near. Even when it was technically, far enough to be heard with difficulty.

-> Being here is a nice change of pace for her, especially with that "helping others even at one's own expense" inclination she carries constantly.

Hope would be gazing at the sky of Aspiration. Trying to see if any shooting star symbolizing a great hope was near.

Was there a recent hope in Nellie's mind?

-> She looks up as well. She has plenty of hopes, but the one still burning strongest is her hope to be able to set things right.

Many of those shooting stars representing these hopes, Hope had already seen. Still, seeing the biggest one along with the little ones once again traveling through Aspiration's skies... was always beautiful. Always a good reminder for Hope itself.

"We will achieve that hope soon. I believe in us."

-> She nods.

"It's gonna take some work, but..."
