Hi! I'm Peam!

@peam-time

Whao, I can make words appear here? That's so awesome!

154 posts

I got reminded to make an intro post, so here goes.

Peam is very small. Baby small. Because she's a baby. A baby moth that skipped the grub phase. She's white and fluffy except her wings, antennas and eyes are bright pink. She can speak ut can barely move due to being inexperienced and weak.

Peam has been stuck inside a block of ice for a very long time. The situation was very anomalous as every time Peam was about to freeze to death, time reset her death to prolong her life until eventual rescue.

I don't have a picture of her yet.

Rules:

- absolutely no nsfw or suggestive material

- she is female, she/her

- no magic asks than change something about her

- to other rp blogs, respect her abilities

#a moment in time #intro post

the-greater-brute

*Largy realized its companion was gone, not without trace, of course, though it didn't see those at first*

(no, nonononono, this is so bad, she's barely old enough to read and she's off on her own, is she with her friends- Agh, no, she can't fly yet, at least not on her own, there are too many bugs who would want a higher being for their own-...and if anyone who grieves something caught wind of her...where...wait...tracks, leading- oh no.)

*the brute saw Peams tracks leading to shellwood, how she managed to get up and walk there was beyond its understanding, what it did understand however, was the number of hazardous plants in all of shellwood. the pollenflowers, the splinterkin, the woodshell beasts, and it had only heard rumors about a root that has made nest there too...rumors it even managed to infect a higher being in part...it was already moving, it couldn't afford to lose the one who gave it a name, not yet.*

(pleasedon'tbegrubnapped pleasedon'tbegrubnapped pleasedon'tbegrubnapped- oh, whew.)

*The brute had found peam nestled under some roots, a little dirty and seemingly uncomfortable, but fine nonetheless. The brute decided to sit down and keep watch, giving the makeshift den some heat. Though the pain of receiving higher thought was still taking its toll*

(owwwww, now I get why the elders always complained about their joints. At least she's ok.)

@peam-time

Peam seemed different, older. She was a little taller and thinner than before. Her fluff didn't cover her bottom anymore, and her limbs were longer.

She feels the heat and opens her eyes with a scared eep as she sees the giant watching her. Then, almost immediately she recognized it as Largy.

She squirms out of the hiding spot and clambered on to one of its legs. She cries.

"I'M SO SORRY! YOU WERE ASLEEP FOR SO LONG AND MAMA WAS IMPATIENT, SO I HAD TO LEAVE! BUT IT WAS SO SCARY BEING ALONE, I NEVER WANNA BE ALONE! PLEASE, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'M SO SORRY!"

She keeps crying, holding on to its leg. She burrows her face in it. She didn't want to see the place that scared her.

the-greater-brute

(ah, that would explain how she was able to walk over here)

*the brute gets another peice of paper, seemingly very well stocked somehow, and begins to write*

No, it's ok, I thought I lost you as well, I'm glad to see you've grown a little. I was meeting with another Moth like you, she told me where we might find your mother.

*Largys eyes has orange motes now, though they were not visible enough to discern anything.*

Peam keeps crying, holding on to its leg.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I love you!"

She nuzzles her face on it, sulking. Finally it was back.

"I never want to go alone again! *sniff. I was cold, hungry, and I was to scared to get up and pee! Thank you for coming to find me!" she keeps wailing. She seemed to be just a few years older, somewhere in between three and five.

Her wings flutters a little with happiness, they were dirty and a little scratched from sleeping on the ground under a root.

"There were so many scary bugs! Tree-bugs with claws, bugs that look like the environment purple flying wasps!"

the-greater-brute

*the brute pauses for a moment, at the words*

(she...loves me? I only cared for her...for a few days and...)

*Largy's heart began to flutter, it seemingly never experienced the love of another before. At the mention of Peams hunger however, it found a nearby edible root, dicing it into more manageable pieces and offering it to peam*

(ah, so she did encounter a few of the species in shellwood, hopefully none of them still seek her out...)

*the brute continues writing on the other side of the paper*

The root is edible, slightly tart but very nutritious. The other bugs in this place are not kind to travellers, I'm glad you're ok, do you need help with anything else?

"I need to find mama! She's waiting for me. She made me older so I could walk on my own." Peam takes the root and nibbles on it. It wasn't as good as carrot, but it worked. Her stomach hurt a little less.

She then scrambled into a bush to relieve herself, before returning to her best friend, clinging on to it.

"Where did the moth say mama is?"

the-greater-brute

*the brute got another piece of paper and began writing*

Hollownest, at least that's what I remember, she said it was the ancestral ground of many moths. She also gave me higher thought, so that was quite nice, my body still aches from it though.

Peam attempts to climb up on its back, but fails. She hopelessly flutters her wings, making some flickering noises, but fails regardless. She slides back down and falls to her butt.

"In Hawolnest? Can we go there? Please, I wanna meet mama! Papa wasn't nice to me."

the-greater-brute

*Largy picks up peam and puts her on its back, giving a slight nod before beginning to traverse through shellwood.*

(I've only heard of hollownest from few bugs...hopefully it's as open as I've heard.)

"I've never heard of it, I don't think. But I hope it's better than this creepy forest."

One bark-bug suddenly sprung at them, but with a flash of her eyes it was back in the same spot. They had already passed by then, and Peam didn't think much of her power.

the-greater-brute

*as decently terrifying as it was having a higher being on its back, Largy did appreciate having the safety that came with it, it wrote a note while traversing*

I think it is, I'm not sure, there are some darker areas but we should be fine since I can see in the dark and there's really not much in the means of threat from what I've heard.

Peam whimpered hearing that it'd be dark up ahead. She was still clinging to its back, and squeezed the plating harder.

"I spent the night out in the dark. I never want to be in it again! Can I crawl in your armor? I'm scared." she begs quietly, seeing a vent she could fit in. It seems cozy.

the-greater-brute

*the brute, confused as she was already on its actual back under the armor, sketched a note to peam*

Yes??? You may go into the loft if it is more comfortable for you.

"Yay!" she says, crawling in.

(no, nonononono, this is so bad, she's barely old enough to read and she's off on her own, is she with her friends- Agh, no, she can't fly yet, at least not on her own, there are too many bugs who would want a higher being for their own-...and if anyone who grieves something caught wind of her...where...wait...tracks, leading- oh no.)

*the brute saw Peams tracks leading to shellwood, how she managed to get up and walk there was beyond its understanding, what it did understand however, was the number of hazardous plants in all of shellwood. the pollenflowers, the splinterkin, the woodshell beasts, and it had only heard rumors about a root that has made nest there too...rumors it even managed to infect a higher being in part...it was already moving, it couldn't afford to lose the one who gave it a name, not yet.*

(pleasedon'tbegrubnapped pleasedon'tbegrubnapped pleasedon'tbegrubnapped- oh, whew.)

*The brute had found peam nestled under some roots, a little dirty and seemingly uncomfortable, but fine nonetheless. The brute decided to sit down and keep watch, giving the makeshift den some heat. Though the pain of receiving higher thought was still taking its toll*

(owwwww, now I get why the elders always complained about their joints. At least she's ok.)

@peam-time

Peam seemed different, older. She was a little taller and thinner than before. Her fluff didn't cover her bottom anymore, and her limbs were longer.

She feels the heat and opens her eyes with a scared eep as she sees the giant watching her. Then, almost immediately she recognized it as Largy.

She squirms out of the hiding spot and clambered on to one of its legs. She cries.

"I'M SO SORRY! YOU WERE ASLEEP FOR SO LONG AND MAMA WAS IMPATIENT, SO I HAD TO LEAVE! BUT IT WAS SO SCARY BEING ALONE, I NEVER WANNA BE ALONE! PLEASE, PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I'M SO SORRY!"

She keeps crying, holding on to its leg. She burrows her face in it. She didn't want to see the place that scared her.

"Whoa, that a lot of hearts!"

#100 likes #tumblr milestone #thank you

Peam waddles alone over the metal bells as she stares out into the tunnel with big eyes. She hated leaving Largy. She craved its comfort and warmth now that she walks free.

But, Largy had been asleep for too long, and Mama wanted her to come. So, reluctantly and with tears in her eyes she entered Shellwood.

It was a giant forest of roots that hung over dark waters. Bugs hid in the foliage or skimmed across the water on thin legs.

Peam was scared and uncomfortable. She had never been alone before, not since escaping the ice. She looks back towards Bellhart, where Largy is. Her pink antennae slumped down over her white shoulders as she stood there, crying and scared.

She wasn't brave enough to continue, but too determined to go back. So, Peam ends up staying put, waiting for Largy to come help her. But it didn't. It was nowhere to be seen.

Peam simply stands there looking lost and confused, scared and sad. The forest looked so dangerous. Maybe she should wait? But Mama will be disappointed.

She stands there well into the night before she crawls under a root that was too small for her. Her arms and legs were too long to fit inside her fur, so she shivered in the cold as she curls up.

The darkness made her even more scared with all the noises, so she lies crying with terror, hunger and the need to pee since she was to scared to satisfy any of her needs.

#a moment in time #revelations #pharloomblr

Peam looks down on her body. It was taller, more controllable and stronger. But Mama was waiting for her. This really was going slow for her. Mama needed her.

She pushes herself from the ground and stares long and hard at her best friend, a more fatherly figure than Papa. Could she really go without it? Mama needed her.

Peam hugs Largy hard, crying softly on its armor. This was too difficult. But she has to continue. She gives Largy a kiss before leaving it to sleep as she snuck away into the darkness.

#a moment in time #revelations #pharloomblr

Peam stands in a glorious field of pink grass like crystals, sharp and pointy, stretching far beyond sight. The sun rested in an eternal morning, hovering just above the horizon in front of her.

Her little pink eyes gleam in the warm orange light. She felt at peace sitting there. But she felt alone. She does her best to stand up, but her weak legs forbade her.

She crawls towards the sun, over the grass that hugged her. She felt loved. She kept going. Then, she realizes that her arms seems to get stronger, and her legs longer. Her torso got thinner.

She pushes herself up, standing on the field. In front of her was mother. She was impossibly massive, unmoving, yet loving.

"Mama!" Peam lights up and tries to run and hug her, but she was too far away. The young moth didn't reach her.

"Mama? Why aren't you talking? I'm not ready yet. Please don't make me!"

Peam wakes up next to Largy. She looked different, taller, older. She looks down on her arms, controllable now. Such a shame. She wanted to be young a little longer.

Peam returns, carried by Pavo. She had learnt what sounds the different letters makes, so she could now read.

Pavo hands her over to Largy.

"Hi! We can talk now! I read very good." she sounds proud of herself.

@peam-time

Peam smiles at her big friend.

*Largy pauses, it knew that her reading comprehension, while good, wasn't going to be the best, it would need to get much better at writing. fast. but how? it looked for something that could help it get better...only to settle on its shell...perhaps...the brute wrote something quick down*

*an arm popped out from the hull of the carapace, its silk and metal joints seamless from the twelfths craftbugship, with it the brute grabbed a small piece of paper and a dark rock and began to write*

I think this works better, do you understand this easier?

Peam's eyes lit up, literally. This time, nothing changed around them. Seemingly, she just wanted to try what would happen if she charged her ability only slightly.

She then read the paper.

"Wonderful! Are you gonna help me find mama easier now?"

the-greater-brute

*The brute was weary, but then realized it forgot why they came to bellhart in the first place, it then wrote down some words quickly then showed the note to peam.*

Yes, perhaps you could check in with your new friends and ask them if they know something called 'the radiance'

"But I'm sleepy!"

the-greater-brute

*more writing*

hmm, then perhaps we should rest for now, and then do our best to figure it out later.

"Hmm, okey!" was all Peam had to say before shutting her eyes to rest.

spinner-of-silk

Peam is placed on the bench by Largy as he goes to do something she had no idea about. She wiggles her little legs with boredom, but accidentally toppled over with a huff. Her pink wings twitch helplessly.

She wanted to get up! Why is it so difficult?! Why? She just wanted to be a big girl for once. Her failure makes her cry as she lies face first on the bench.

@peam-time

*Spinner was sitting down in a random corner of Bellhart, Goldie had wandered off and so they were waiting for them to return so they could get brought to Verdania.*

*They flinched hearing the cries and looked up, their wings chittering in curiosity. They tilted their head at the little moth before standing up and hobbling over to her.*

“U-uhm…h..hello?..” *They called out to her, very carefully flipping her over on her back.*

The baby moth squirmed trying to get back up, her limbs flailing clumsily and not doing anything for her situation. The baby is pale white with pink eyes, antennas and wings.

"Oh! Hi, Mister Mothman! Wow, you're pretty. And fuzzy like me! I've never seen a moth before."

spinner-of-silk

*They squeaked and flinched again.* “u-uhm…h-hi….” *Their wings chittered awkwardly.*

"Oh, you sound female! My apologies, miss Mothmadam. Can you help me a little? I'm stuck."

She wasn't stuck, but rather unable to get around on her own.

spinner-of-silk

*They tilted their head.* “I c-can..help..b..but.. ……w…w-what..is…”female”…..?”

"The one who is mama! But not you, right? I don't know mama...And papa is mean!"

She squirmed again, hoping to get picked up by the kind moth.

spinner-of-silk

”w..what?” *They seemed more confused. They had heard the term “Mama” and “Papa” before from Goldie, though they still weren’t entirely sure what it meant besides “family”.* “i…d..dont know w-what that means…”

She stretches her arms out to the moth.

"I heard it's gross to explain while I was stuck in the ice. Help now?"

spinner-of-silk

”U-uhm…okay…” *They gingerly picked Peam up, holding them out in front of them awkwardly. ..they.. did not know how to hold a child.*

Peam cooed in their grip.

"Thank you! You're a very nice moth! Are there other moths here? Who even are you? I'm Peam!"

spinner-of-silk

”uhm…i-I’m um..” *They hesitated, then remembered the name that Envoy had given them.* “I’m Spinner… …i..d-dont think..t..Theres…others… ….All..gone…”

"Oh, ok...that's sad. But, isn't that a moth? Go, bring me to her!"

spinner-of-silk

”u-uhm- where-?” *They looked around, confused.*

Peam leans over too a pretty moonmoth minding her own business.

@thesilkweaverfrombellhart

*Xing didn't notice the duo as she was busy respooling silk after she had found knots in it. She was also muttering to herself, sounding a little annoyed with the difficulties of handling knots in a medium as fragile as silk*

I swear... I need something to prevent this from knotting again... or find a way to reinforce the fiber without sacrificing the texture and comfort that silk can achieve...

*Her minty green wings twitched in mild annoyance as she sat on the porch of her bellhome. She was indeed a pretty moth. Elegant tails stemmed from her hindwings and quivered when her wings twitched, fluffy and feathery antenna were slightly pinned back in her annoyance as her paws carefully, yet swiftly handled the delicate silk*

spinner-of-silk

*Spinner’s wings chittered in curiosity as they spotted the moth. They had never seen another Moth like them before, though she looked different than they did. Were..there different kinds of Moths?*

“o-oh….y-you…w..-want to g..go over to them..?” *They asked, looking back at Peam within their hands.*

@peam-time

"Yeah! She looks like she's struggling, and I want to cheer her up!"

She wiggled in their hands, eager to meet the new moth. "Miss Mithmaiden" as Peam had dubbed them, walked over and flew up to the colorful character handling a line of silk.

"Hi lady! You have pretty wings!" Peam exclaimed as soon as they landed on the platform.

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

Oh!

*The moth jumped a little bit, not hearing the two moths approaching her*

Oh, my apologies! You just startled me... Thank you, dearie. You look quite nice too! Both of you.

*She gets up and sets aside the half unspooled pile of silk aside so she could speak to these newcomers*

What brings you around Bellhart? My name is Silkweaver Xing. Owner of this... well, small... establishment. I specialize in the art of crafting clothes using silk!

*The pretty moon moth took a small, respectful bow to the duo, a happy and kind smile on her face as she also gestured to the bellhome she was outside of*

I do apologize for the small mess over here, it's infrequent that I have to respool an entire length of silk threads...

"Oh, don't worry, I'll help you, madam Xing!"

Peam looks at the roll of silk. Her eyes flash bright pink. Xing's claws were tired and the spool well kept. Peam looks proud of herself. Her big eyes sparkled and her wings buzzed with joy.

"There you go! I'm Peam! This is my friend miss Mothmadam! My other friend is down below somewhere."

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

Oh! Well, I'll be intrigued! I've never seen that before! Thank you, dear!

My, what an intriguing power you have, little one. It is a pleasure to be of acquaintance to you!

*Xing went to pick up the newly spun spool of silk with a happy smile*

Do you two need anything? Or merely coming around to greet everyone?

spinner-of-silk

*It took Spinner a little bit, but they did eventually clamber up to the two after some struggle. They took a moment to catch their breath before speaking.*

"i...w-was just- uhm- h-helping... Peam... I.. dunno with w-what though..." *They stared at the spool of silk in awe.* "d-do... you... Spin s-silk too?"

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

Indeed! It's my business actually. I craft clothes or any other thing that'd require material like silk. Also do repairs as well

No need to be uneasy, my dear. I'm about as harmless as a flea.

*She hummed as she went to put the spool back in her bellhome, her wings twitching slightly and the tails brushing against the metal porch*

Do you two wish to come in? I won't require you to if you'd rather stay outside, dear

spinner-of-silk

"o-oh..!" *Their wings chittered happily.* "I-i...s...s-spin silk..t..too! D...did...y..y-you come f-from..t...the citadel..too? I... I-i okay s...s-staying... o-outside.."

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

Oh, no. I came from elsewhere... far from here... I moved here to pursue my dreams of this kind of work.

It... it wouldn't exactly be easy back home... We weren't huge fans of visitors unfortunately... haha... well outside myself, of course

*She hummed as she set the spool right inside the door before returning outside with Peam and their moth friend*

I do miss home... and wonder about my parents... but there's not much I can do about it. Don't recall enough to know how to get home if I wanted to. And anyway, I have a sweet little flea to care for now

spinner-of-silk

*Spinner tilted their head.* "f-flea? ......w...what's... a.. flea?"

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

Oh they're cuties. And darling little things.

Bell! Where are you, dear?

*Xing calls out for Bell, her lovely little flea companion*

Fleas are quite harmless cuties. And they have such a lovely little noise. Awoo

“AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

Bell zipped around Xing’s head

“Awooo!”

spinner-of-silk

*Spinner squeaked and flinched, watching Bell.* "o-oh-!" *Their wings chittered.* "f-f..fluffy!"

(Bell can go next, then Xing perchance :)

Bell sniffed Spinner before nuzzling them.

“Awoooo”

@thesilkweaverfrombellhart

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

Aw, they like you! That's good!

*Xing smiled as her wings twitched happily and her antenna perked up*

spinner-of-silk

"t-they..v...very..c-cute!" *They smiled, their wings chittering happily.*

thesilkweaverfrombellhart

*Xing smiled as she chuckled*

Ah... what am I going to do with that mini fridge... how does that thing even work like this...?

*She shook her head with a sigh. She'll have to deal with the strangely randomly appearing mini fridge that has food for Bell*

Peam was just quiet, shining with joy as she stared in awe at Bell.

"F-fluff!" is all she could say while her antennas flicked with excitement. She had never seen a flea before.

"So much fluff!" she giggles as she stares at the moths as well. "This is much better than being stuck in ice for half a millenia!"

spinner-of-silk

".....I-Ice? ....... w-what- whag I-is... ice?" *Spinner asked, tilting their head.*

"It's cold and evil!" Peam explained as best she could.

"My egg got stucky a few hundred years ago right when I hatched. I've been a day old ever since, except I started aging once I got out. I listened to bugs and learned to speak while in there.

spinner-of-silk

”o-oh…” *They were confused, though they didn’t question any further.* “uhm… i-is… There anything else y-you…. W..want help with, Peam..?”

"Yeah, I want to go to my friend again. But first what's your name?"

spinner-of-silk

”I’m u-uhm… S-Spinner…” *They introduced themself.*

"Is that a real name? Could you carry me down to that big one please?"

She points to her friend.

spinner-of-silk

”uhm…i..I-i think it’s a r-real name…? …i…d-didnt pick it….” *They fidgeted with their hands, looking down to the bug she pointed to.* “uhm..o-okay…” *They gently picked up Peam awkwardly, walking down towards the large bug.*

"Hi, Largy! I found moths!"

@the-greater-brute welcome

the-greater-brute

*Largy growls excitedly that peam found some new friends, realizing there were more people around, and that it just growled without warning, it begins writing on some paper from its shell*

HE L lo , goO D frI END ?

*Largy was still taking a moment to process that they were moths*

"Hihihi, Largy, I can't read! You're so silly. I've never seen moths before though. They are very puffy!"

the-greater-brute

(Can't...READ?!)

*Largy was remembering what happened on mt fay the first time, quickly realizing it had others to transcribe however it did its best to remain calm*

(SHOW, OTHERS FIRST...)

*Largy held out the writing to spinner for them to see*

@spinner-of-silk

spinner-of-silk

”um…” *They stared at the writing, confused. They tilted their head.* “w-what….what’s this..?”

the-greater-brute

(CAN'T READ. EITHER? NO, NO NOT GOOD. OTHERS, NEED OTHERS.)

*Largy was having trouble staying focussed, surely someone with the ability to read was here*

Suddenly Pavo comes to save the day.

"What's going on here?" he asks.

the-greater-brute

*Largy, almost fainting from relief (and in general) holds out the paper for pavo to see*

(CAN, READ? PLEASE?)

"Yeah, I can read. What do you want me to read?"

the-greater-brute

*Largy, exasperated but relieved, hands pavo the paper, the scrawl is decently legible, though did look like it was still done by a wild beast...which it was*

"Um? Let's see here."

"Oh, it says hello good friend. That's nice."

Peam lights up.

"You're my best friend, Largy!"

the-greater-brute

*The brute was glad at having someone who could read nearby, though it was wondering if it was clear with the punctuation, regardless, it stayed soaking up the company.*

@spinner-of-silk

"Well, Largy, now that I can finally understand you, we should talk!" Peam says, brimming with excitement. The opportunity was too good to waste.

the-greater-brute

*the brute pondered for a moment, realizing it had the opportunity it was waiting for, writing carefully, it gave two notes to pavo, one for peam and one for him*

*Peams note, has the words 'for peam' on it*

Fr Iend wIsh to LeAr N HoW to REAd?

*pavos note, same thing*

COulD Y ou HelP TrAnsLatE?

*the brute shook out its claw, some of the letters were really hard pressed into the pages*

"Little Peam, your friend wants you to learn how to read. I can teach you, if you'd like?"

"Okay!"

They walk away to begin their lessons.
