     “An eclipse... and it’s raining. This certainly      is some rotten luck, isn’t it?”

But where is that music coming from?

          ❝ To signify new arrivals… then it is a matter of if they do so on purpose or it is a natural effect to their doings. Yet with it happening so frequent, it is cause to worry in the influx of people trickling in. ❞

     “Considering the nature of this world, I wouldn’t be      surprised if they were the ones in control of the eclipses.      Which is a bit of a worry too... They seem to be all      powerful. A part of me hopes it’s just an effect from       them bringing in new people.”

Rollerskating, it was called.

Miriam had never heard of such a thing before, but being the curious girl she ever was, she wanted to try it out if only just to say she experienced it. The only problem was, she never expected it to be this... difficult, to say the least. Standing up on skates was the first challenge she came across with this experience, and she barely was able to get up without sliding back and falling.

The shardbinder held onto the rail, slightly scooting forward and testing the waters. Pale blue eyes watched others skate down the arena floor, a frown upon her lips at the sight before her, along with a slight pout.

     “How do they make this look so easy...?”

          ❝ Not but one, yet two eclipses within a day past. Passing strange, if not a little ominous… I presume it’s a phenomenon oft to happen here. ❞ at least since nobody else seems to be questioning the incident at large.

     “I’ve heard this is normal around here, all these      eclipses... I think it’s supposed to signify that new      people have arrived on the island, but I’m not sure      how correct that is. Either way it’s... ominous, like      you said.”

hello!! now that my starters are finally out of the way, i’ve decided to throw out a plotter / permanent ad out onto the dash! by liking this post you’ve agreed to

allowing me to invade you inbox

popping into your ims to plot / discuss stuff

allowing me to write you a starter

as always, the courtesy is extended to me as well, feel free to do all the above to me! now that’s out of the way, here’s a sort of ‘base’ for relationships i’m offering. feel free to suggest anything that’s not on this list & feel free to reply for the type of relationship you’d like! that’ll make things easier for plotting.

1. FRIENDS - miriam is awkward. being in a magical 10 year coma does not do well for your social skills, and she’s also only had two friends so her friend group was never that large to begin with. that being said, she’s friendly and easy to get along with! she can be a little sarcastic at times though, so be warned about that, but aside from that she’s really not looking to make any enemies. she’ll cook for you too, so that’s a bonus point for being her friend.

2. ENEMIES - while miriam isn’t looking to make any enemies, it seems like trouble finds her regardless. miriam really isn’t a fan of those with evil intentions, so she’ll not get along with people like that. but miriam is also a touch naive and may not pick on ulterior motives, which is something i could easily plot with! that being said, betrayal is high on her ‘things you shouldn’t do to me otherwise i’ll kick your ass with this toy shoes on my feet that squeak every time i walk’ list and she certainly won’t go easy on anyone who betrays her, so keep that in mind.

3. FOUND FAMILY - miriam is an orphan and a lot of her relationships are found family - she considered alfred to be her dad, after all. she’s never had a family outside of that, so she never got to experience what it’s like and i think it would be good for her!

4. SOMETHING ELSE - got something else in mind? lmk! this is just a base of common relationships and i’m totally open to things not listed on here.

for the moment, romance is not really open as i wanna focus on platonic relationships for now and i kind of like to develop those things a little organically to see how i feel about it, but if you have an idea feel free to toss it my way. i won’t be shipping with characters under 18.

➾ “Mm…” It really looked like she was going to have to start from the ground up on this one. Chris had an issue with personal space, or rather letting people into hers, but she slid in beside the girl so she could look over her shoulder nonetheless. Well, kind of. Despite her age she was only 153cm tall. “Yeah, if you click this…” Finger pressed against a button that looked like an envelope, bringing up her text options. “Then if you enter the name up top you can send an instant message or IM. Think you can browse names of everyone in the city too.”

“And this…” Swiping back to the menu, she found the camera button. “If you point this where you wanna take a picture and click that bottom bottom, it takes one. You can also take a picture of yourself…” Tap tap, turning the camera around. “See?”

Pale blue eyes watched the other girl show her the ropes of using a phone. There were a few things Miriam had learned on her own just by fiddling around with it, but she hadn’t really touched on the instant messaging system. Blinking, Miriam looked at the names displayed on the screen.

     “So everyone who’s in the city is in here...? That really      is quite handy. I can message anyone I want in the city...”

Her voice sounded faraway, as though she was thinking of something. Or someone, rather. It’s really a shame none of her companions are in the city... Ah, but she can worry about that later. When Chris pressed the button to switch cameras, the shardbinder practically jumped at the suddenness of how her face was just... suddenly there.

     “O-Oh, it’s me! Um, so this button, is it...”

Click, there goes the shuttering sound effect, and a picture of a slightly confused Miriam - which only made her more confused when she saw how fast it was taken.

     “I-It instantly took my picture! It was so quick! This is      amazing!”

     “It’s cold...”

Miriam’s mumbles carried out into the wind as she dipped her toe into the Water of Styx. Slowly, she sat down at the edge of the pool, allowing her feet to dangle in the cool, gentle waters as pale blue eyes gazed along the crowds of people playing games or simply enjoying a swim. 

Admittedly, she felt so out of place in this world, but feelings like that were hardly anything new. Fingertips ran along the crystals in her skin, though she was not ashamed of them. Just old feelings that she thought she had buried liked to digging themselves out of their graves.

Still, she was here - maybe she should focus on making a friend or something? The girl next to her seemed to be just as out of place as her, so maybe she could start there? But how does one socialize, especially when you’ve lost ten years of your life to an endless sleep? She’ll just have to go for it!

     “It’s a nice day out today, isn’t it?”

Nailed it. Really nailed it, Miriam.

➾ There really were all kinds in this city, huh? A cellphone was practically archaic knowledge from the 2040s from which Chris hailed, but even so she probably couldn’t explain how it worked. “You’ve… uh, you’ve never seen a phone before? You know you can use it to message friends and check the news, right? It isn’t just for starin’ at.”

“I know there’s a computer chip inside, but short of that I couldn’t tell ya how it works. You’re looking at a screen though, it’s not a photo. …You can take photos with it though.”

Such marvels of technology really were foreign to Miriam, but that’s what happens when you come from a time where photography wasn’t even a thing yet. Miriam shifted her attention to the other girl from her phone, blinking at her words.

     “Message friends and check the news...? That      seems a lot more simpler and less of a hassle      than sending letters or notes.”

Computer chip? What was a computer? Maybe when she goes home, she can ask a certain librarian about it and see if he knows. At the mention of photos, Miriam’s eyes lit up again.

     “Oh, photography! I’ve only had my photo taken      once. I had to sit for a rather long time though...      It was a bit of a hassle on its own, but it was      amazing!”

[shardbind-blog]

     “Oh, wow! This is just like ‘photography’! Except      the picture is moving!”

Cue a certain shardbinder looking at the screen of her phone. It looks like she figured out how to film things on her phone. Her eyes were practically sparkling with interest and curiosity. Though, they’re then joined in by confusion and bewilderment.

     “But how does it work...? How does it move?”

     “I’m really sorry...!”

When she was dragged into this watermelon smashing game by an MC directing all the festival games, she hadn’t expected to actually... smash it. Especially since she was blindfolded and spun around three times. To be fair, the MC probably wasn’t expecting her to smash it either, but she was stronger than she looked. Unfortunately, while she was successful in smashing it, it had sprayed onto a certain, unsuspecting faunus. Watermelon pieces dripped off of his face, along with the seeds.

With a towel in her hand, Miriam hung her head and held it out to him, a little embarrassed at the whole situation. Granted, it was probably nothing serious or something to even fret over, but the shardbinder still felt bad.

     “Um, here you go, you can use my towel to wipe      yourself off. Again, I’m really sorry about this!”

“A ceremony to send off the living, hm? It’s a shame those wishes will never quite reach the people they’re meant for, but I suppose one cannot deny the comfort they’re meant to bring the ones casting the candles out.” Lighting candles not for the deceased but for those that have left the city? It was a peculiar practice, and one she observed with arms crossed and a surprisingly solemn tone.

“And what of you? Did you light one of them, or you merely an observer?” Avenger was too new of an inhabitant to have any wishes for anyone that had stayed here prior.

     “O-Oh, um...”

She wasn’t expecting to be addressed to. Then again, as much as Miriam liked to think she didn’t stand out, a girl with her appearance certainly did. The crystals in her skin practically reflected off with the light of the flames of the candles. fingers entwined in front of her, the woman looked off to the side for a brief moment before focusing her gaze onto the other once more.

She had never got to know the other shardbinders, not the way she knew Gebel. Most of them stayed away from her, which she wasn’t surprised about. No one wants to stay with someone who whined about their existence after all. And Gebel was still here - Gebel could be saved, still. She didn't want to mourn him, because he wasn’t gone.

( if she mourned him now, then he would never be saved. )

     “I... I don’t have anyone to light for. Not really.      What about you? Are you going to light a candle      for someone?”

Pissing off the many gods that reside in this city probably isn’t a good idea, so maybe narrow it down so people don’t get the wrong idea! ❤“

     “I think I’ll be fine. I probably won’t fight any now,      since I know I’m kind of limited here... which is a      pain on its own. But thank you for the concern. I      do really appreciate it.”

A gentle smile. Probably wasn’t expecting that.
