A Full Tour of The Hideaway Exhibition

ROOM#51, 23RD WARD, KOBAI GOTEN SUBDIVISION, CRYSTAL- ZALERA

Firstly, you enter into the exhibition hall.

but a museum isn't complete without an overpriced gift shop.

Then, you may enter the true Hideway. (The Storage Lounge). The hokinin, Sakichi, will greet you and you be serviced by Jiro and Manami.

However, a lounge needs entertainment, so we have a stage (karaoke is very entertaining).

If one was invited upstairs then you would arrive to Luken's office where he crafts his forgeries. Some of which are on display here.

Finally, the room no one is usually invited to, Luken's studio apartment.

I really wanted everything in this room to be Luken in his truest form, so here why I chose some of these items:

the angler prints and fishing rods are obviously because he enjoys fishing. it will always be his basic means of survival. The sweetfish skewer's are there specifically because of his dad. Luken cherishes the memory of eating sweetfish with his dad.

Luken has the mugs from Gridania and Limsa Lominsa because He was born and raised in in the Twelveswood for about 12 years, but really grew up in Limsa Lominsa even if he lived there for less time.

However, he is nostalgic for the forest home he had once so elements are there for a homey feeling with the glade rug and ivy curtain.

the coffee press is for @yulin-xiv Because those two will define each other down to their soul until one kills the other.

The kitchen of course is because Luken loves to cook. It is so essential though. Not just because you need to eat to live, but this food is luxury that Luken can spoil himself with and provide to others as well and justifying this as a necessity. Cooking is just a little bit of everything that is meaningful to Luken.

I wanted the letter sealing set there and not in Luken's office because I wanted it to be more personal. He is writing letters to his foster mom and Luka more that forging seals and documents which is what got him conscripted just before the calamity.

If you are still reading this, Thank you for completing the tour! Have a good night/day!!

luka: people have tried getting luka to read a map properly, and have marked stuff on maps for luka, only for them to go largely ignored.

luken: one of the first things he did was sleight of hand tricks to get by and provide for him and his own that he shared space with, and that opened up the path to the rest of his subterfuge tactics.

asdis: actually very protective of the jewel on her forehead. does everything she can to ensure it stays safe in some fashion. on that note, also can't remove the gemstone, so that's why she has to be actively conscientious about it.

This is very true for Luka. It is not their fault though. Really! Luka had to sacrifice something for all their Warrior of light power, so Luka selflessly gave up all sense of direction and ability to follow directions. Please just take Luka's hand, and lead them to place they need to go. It is easier that way, but hold on tight, Luka is very strong.

Luken is very much a performer and desperate to provide. This would be something he would do, but it was not his start. Honestly, I wish Luken could have learned such tricks, but he didn't have chance for that wonder. His childhood education was a bit unorthodox. Luken learned slight of hand for stealing first and foremost. He learned to read and write to forge documents. He was was taught basic arithmetic to cook books.

Asdis is very conscientious of the gem on her forehead indeed. If Asdis isn't careful about it, Achlys will throw a fit. Asdis had to kill the habit of full force palm to her forehead when she is frustrated. (she was picking up a book and misjudged how far the table was. Achlys doesn't really feel stimulus from the crystal. the voidsent just enjoys giving Asdis headaches).

Thank you for much for the ask @paintedscales!!

Is your OC at all romantic themselves? Or is romance something they expect others to perform for their benefit?

Luken is a romantic at heart, but he isn’t showing that to others. Luken won’t expect moonlight walks or candlelit dinners but if you're up for it then... However, only if the romantic gesture could be accepted as casual or superficial. If so then Luken is freely reciting poetry, he brings flowers and compliments. Not that means anything but he would prepare someone’s favorite meal. Luken would love to cook for someone. Luken doesn’t expect romantic gestures to be done for him, because he doesn’t expect to be loved that way.

Asdis wouldn’t have the slightest idea how to perform romance, and would refuse to do so. Romantic gestures are performances of worship. Therefore, of course she expects such action to be done for her. However, it would be demeaning for her to do such actions until the person was completely her equal in every way.

Luka would appreciate it, even if they are confused about the meaning of it. Luka would perform romantic gestures, but will either be platonic intended or facsimile of actions they saw performed. Luka is a person that sees a proposal happen and understands that bending one knee with a bouquet of flowers is a normal way to do gift giving.

Thank you @starforger!! Thinking about Asdis trying to do a romantic gesture made me chuckle for a long while.

🐾 must. see. the pets.

You are in luck because all the muses have pets!

This is Luka with their mining buddy Oppsie-Daisy. Oppsie's presence makes Luka feel better when doing mining in caves and traditional shafts as Luka prefers open-air quarries.

Asdis has been searching of someone to be of service. The little knight can't do much, but Shallots is loyal and is quiet company unlike Achlys.

Luken has recently aquired a baby raptor. He is unsure of the animal, but if it bites him then Luken will make some stew.

Thank Anon for the ask from this [Send 🐾 to meet one of my muse’s pets] There are more pets if you would like to see them.

🦺 Can we have the full set? Luka, Luken and Asdis? I'm having hard time picking only one OTL

🦺 - character’s work uniform or work outfit. If they don’t work, reinterpret or take 🎭

Yes! you sure can and I will give you full set for each of them, because I also can't choose either. Under readmore because it is a bit long.

First Asdis.

Asdis is lady of leisure first and foremost, but she puts in the work at the Triple Triad tables. Asdis can be found in the battlehall during tournament times. Asdis must dress the part as well, even though she is completely broke. One day those debt collector will catch her. The first and last real job (about 300 years ago) Asdis had was when she was a member of the Alchemist Guild. Currently, she is banned, so Asdis enters the guild with a mask, but those ears are hard to miss.

For Luken,

He is a grifter, so he has many shoes to wear/fill for this job. Is he going to the market to find a mark, or is he working from home aka his office at the Hideaway? If so he wearing clothes he calls his own style. However when running a con Luken tries to wear the current fashion for what citystate he is in.

Luka!

Luka is the Warrior of Light, but there no small jobs for this hero. Need Luka to help around town? Let them grab their lance, and they will be right there. Oh need a beasts or bandits to shooed off? Luka has an axe that can help with that. The realm needs saving (again)? You'll have Luka's sword gunblade for the battles to come.

Sorry I can't draw, but hope you like my many screenshots instead. Thank you for the ask @dogicrimsonofficial!!
