lowain:

Lowain grins as he leans in towards the Eternal, stretching his arms out, offering to pick her up before he realizes that that’s probably offensive to a Harvin, more so to an Eternal, and he laughs a bit sheepishly as he retracts his arm, starting to lead the way.

“It’s not too far from here, luckily! Should just be there in a few minutes, yeah!”

“It’s…probably not gonna be like that! We get such nice fresh ingredients on that ship, but this city’s…kinda different from that. I’m still gonna try my best! What’s your favorite?”

          ❝ I do like anything with fried rice and vegetables, ❞ she responds, her arms folding across her chest. She follows him without much added movement to her step. It is still jarring to be grounded---not that she struggles, but levitation was so usual for her. 

         She keeps silent throughout the short trip. Not one to engage in conversation unprompted, an opening is left for the other to make his own comments. Although, perhaps the sound of her stomach is the one making comments instead. To cover this, she speaks. 

          ❝ This is an unusual environment. ❞

heles.

Her own eyes close as the song began. She wasn’t as knowledgeable in that field, but she knew very well how to appreciate it. This piece however is awe-inspiring, thrilling, but as all other great things in life, it too comes to an end.

“ My, what a stirring performance! ” She has grown rather excitable since joining the crew, it was almost embarrassing with how many new things she’s never seen have left her in a starry eyed wonder. The Harvin and her song have definitely rekindled such a feeling in Heles. “ I’ve never heard anything quite like it before. ”

          ❝ Your words are kind, ❞ she says, her arms folding across her chest. Her person subtly descends to the grass below, and she proceeds to sit cross-legged once there. Thoughts flutter about the cadenzas the Erune continued to portray. The latter’s excitability is appreciated, as Nio enjoys reveling in such gallant tunes. 

          ❝ I know not much about you, Princess. But you seem to be the resolute type. Might there be a unique reason? You aim for strength, but what for? ❞

❝ I can’t die now, I still have to get stronger! ❞

          ❝ You can do so in the afterlife where your melodies do not strain my hearing. ❞

          ❝ What is this for? ❞ Nio asks the Erune, still stuck with a serious expression. However, some curiosity can be seen as she accepts his gift. She does truly like flowers, especially ones gifted. She never really made friends much, so receiving such offerings comes as a surprise to her. ❝ Do you…think this will make me happy? ❞ A pause. ❝ Because it does. Thank you. ❞

          ❝ ...Yggdrasil? ❞ she mutters, looking up directly at the great primal. What did she do to deserve such a kind gesture from the tree of life? A smile curled across Nio’s lips, listening to the soothing melody emanating from Yggdrasil. It has been so long since she has been given a gift, and with such genuine notes to accompany it. Her hands gently takes the bouquet purchased for her. ❝ Thank you. ❞

☀️ “Really!?” To begin with Kokoro was the type of girl that moved at her own beat. She might have done it even without permission in the end. She scooted over behind the other girl and enthusiastically reached down, scooping her up and holding her up to her chest as she nuzzled the other’s head with her cheek.

“Uwawawa! So cute and soft! I can feel my Smile Energy increading by the hundreds of millions!”

          Nio, upon being picked up, clutches her hands nervously around the girl’s arms. She does not expect the action so quickly---but yet, something about it is calming. She would often ask the captain of her crew to pick her up, much like this, and maybe...having someone else do it isn’t so bad.

          ❝ Smile... Energy? ❞ There is no command to place her back down. Instead, she decides to humor the girl ( and herself, possibly ) a bit more. The harmonies reverberating off such a happy character match such a description---and in fact, Nio sort of enjoyed it if not just for that.

narmaya:

❀ Narmaya brought her right hand before her heart. “Family. We lived together for a time.” And in that time not once did he acknowledge her or her blade. She had been younger then of course, and even now she wasn’t sure that it was enough. He was a strong man, but the honesty in his eyes was one only rivaled by her current captain.

“My name is Narmaya. I’m not particularly famous nor respected, but I am a practitioner of the blade. I travel with a company aboard the Grandcypher in the Skydom.” She paused, anxious about this whole encounter, and a little sad. “My goal is to find Eahta. I want to see him once more.”

           ❝ I see. ❞ There is a silence after her words, almost of disdain. The eighth member of the Eternals Nio knows never spoke of such woman, claiming of familial ties. She may be blunt and speak little, but the Harvin feels conflicted. Does she tell the swordswoman of his amnesia? The desire to hear a saddened tune ring from her is low. 

          ❝ I’m afraid I have been separated from the Eternals. As such, I do not know where they may be. And you are in the same situation. ❞ That is the easiest thing to respond to her with. Narmaya was a name never spoken by Okto, not even upon joining---and neither was his own true name. ❝ If we ever return to our real world, I may assist you in your search. For now, we are trapped. ❞

yggdrasil.

“….?” 

The tree looks down to the voice who called her, a she looks like someone from her world. Has she seen her before? She can’t help but feel a little of déjà vu, with a pleasant noise of a bell ringing, she greets back and smiles at Nio.

“━━♫”

          ❝ Hm. ❞ A slight smirk appears on Nio’s lips. ❝ My name is Nio. I am the ninth member of the Eternals. We all know the stories of the great Primal beasts. ❞ She bows her head in courtesy and respect for the great tree. 

          ❝ I was not expecting such a great presence here. ❞

sunshine:

☀️ Of course Kokoro was happy. She was happy on a regular basis! But seeing such a cute little person with cute ears just made her happier!

“Wah, you’re so adorable! Can I pick you up? You’re not a child, are you!? So maybe that isn’t appropriate… um… But you’re really cute though!”

          ❝ No. ❞ The word came very quickly to her offer. Perhaps her own age will come as a surprise to the other, but she decides to keep it hidden for now. Though... she does like to be picked up, but the loudness from this girl began sending conflicting desires to her senses. 

          A slight pause to reconsider. ❝ For a moment. ❞

lowain:

Lowain’s ears perked up as he heard a voiced from behind him - turning around, he was surprised to find someone familiar - a Harvin! Though he struggled to remember her name, he swears he’s seen her around the crew.

“You got that right! Though here I’m just like, the grand chef of basically nothin’…”

And a tiny voice breaks through, Lowain’s keen ears hearing it loud and clear. A siren call, a cry for help - the sound of a stomach grumbling.

“Just a bit! That sounds like you haven’t eaten in days, man! Don’t worry, I totes got this handled. Come back with me to my apartment and I’ll whip up somethin’ real fast!”

          Nio’s tiny eyes light up at his offer. Although she is not well at socializing, and even refrains from and avoids talking to people directly, speaking to this jubilant Erune man felt easy. 

          ❝ Please, show me. ❞ She slightly tugs on his sleeve, beckoning him to begin leading her towards wherever there may be food. ❝ Will it be like the food from the ship? I would like that. ❞ The Harvin processes her statement carefully, but then shakes her head. Wouldn’t that be impossible, given her---their---situation? She huffs.

          ❝ Maybe not. But anything will do. ❞

         ❝ You are the chef of the Grandcypher. ❞ Nio looks at Lowain with a blank stare. He smells of food, and sounds of somber melodies. She does not want to admit it, but the sight of him makes her stomach grumble. It has been a while since she ate, considering she does not know her way around the city. 

          ❝ I’m...um, I may be a bit hungry. ❞

[offtuned-blog]

heles:

“ Harmonies? ” If her ears perking up weren’t enough to show her interest, her smile is a sure giveaway. How curious, she would have to wait to see ( or listen ) to what the Harvin means with her words. “ If you would have me as an audience, I’d be honored. ”

          The Harvin nods, appreciating the acceptance. Nio joined the crew because the captain’s songs were always gallant and pure---now it was her chance to test the other members. She takes the Nine-Realm Harp off her back, mounts it atop her knees as she takes a sitting position in the air, and closes her eyes. The tune she strums mimics a famous bard’s song of a knightly princess slaying a dragon before the man who came to rescue her, but different---the rhythm is more upbeat, reflecting the Erune’s strongest feelings in her heart. Even if Nio knew nothing of Heles, the music speaks. 

          ❝ I do hope that was to your liking. ❞

@shiawasenaojou ♬

          ❝ Noisy. ❞

          Her single word comes out in a strict manner. The loud, overbearing orchestral music coming through her senses clouds her listening. This girl was either really, incredibly angry---or really, incredibly happy all the time. Being a Harvin of few words, she crosses her arms with a puff of air.

          ❝ ... ❞

          Nio stares blatantly at the woman, a stern expression sprawled across her face. The melodies she hears are of quiet and reminiscing in a minor key, implying a serene and unworried composure. It is almost sweet enough to listen to for a while longer, and so she follows not too far nor too close. At this rate, she is sure to get noticed eventually, but loses herself in the melody. 

[offtuned-blog]

as a forewarning, nio is social anxiety incarnate and likes to stay away from people, so most of her starters are just going to be her staring at people because their music interests her. 

also her ability to listen to emotions as music is only accurate 50% of the time so feel free to go against what she hears! it makes it fun.
