2. The Chef, Isaia

I've got some news I'm very excited about. I'm going to be starting a webcomic!
Moonlit Seas is a story set in the Exalted TTRPG world, and it takes it's inspiration from stories like One Piece and Treasure Island (if you can't see that in the way that Captain Nana was designed. Had to pay my tribute).
It's a story about queer romance, relationships, finding yourself, and a crew of pirates endowed with superhuman powers seeking lost treasure in strange waters. And, you get to vote on which member of the crew gets revealed next!
Our first crew member is, naturally, the Captain, Nana of the Wind. A casteless Lunar, Nana is extremely new to her powers and uncertain about what they mean for her, but really, really not interested in boring things like reading or laws.
Once we've revealed a few members, I'll also be giving people the chance to vote on some interview questions for the crew to get to know them better.
— them with a high-energy s/o
CW: NONE APPLICABLE.
“Would you be willing to write for female characters? If so, can i have Kokomi and Ayaka with a high energy s/o? Btw your writing is really good!”
💌 @dragonqueenofice
went with the leading four 5-star inazuma ladies for this one <3333
characters featured: ayaka, yoimiya, baal, kokomi
kamisato ayaka ✧˖*࿐
she’s so mellow and patient she would kinda just roll with your flow. it’s the dead of night but you wanna climb down to the beaches of her estate and collect seashells? give her a second to fix her hair and she’ll be outside
when ayaka first saw the message her attendant handed to her, she knew exactly who sent it.
“the beach, midnight, bring the biggest bag you can- we’re seashell gathering!” the message reads, “P.S.- don’t worry about your guards catching us. i’ve caught on to their friday night drinking habits! ;)”
ayaka chuckles to herself and folds the letter neatly.
“my lady? what were the contents of such a message?” her attendant asks.
ayaka shakes her head. “could you please prepare me a large bag and a coat on my dresser before i go to bed tonight?” she requests.
“of course, my lady,” the attendant replies with a bow, “are you going somewhere? i can ask a guard to escort you?”
“that’s a secret to be kept between me and the sender of this letter,” she says with a smile.
yoimiya ✧˖*࿐
you guys are both super enthusiastic and only feed off of each other i pity any tired person around you
but nevertheless, this leads to loads of fun all the time
“[Y/N]! [Y/N]!” yoimiya squeals, “c’mon, the fireworks show is about to begin!”
“aw, but just one more round of darts!” you protest, “if i pop that gold balloon, i win that big tanuki plushie for you!”
“it’ll be there after the show!” she counters, gripping your hand, “let’s go! i have a special spot!”
with a tug, yoimiya runs up the hill of the festival venue, your kitsune mask nearly flying off your head. she runs almost too quickly for the average human, but the speed and her enthusiasm rips fits of laughter out of you as you follow your girlfriend uphill. she stops under the tree at the crest of the hill and places her hands on her hips.
“sit down, [Y/N], this is the best seat in the house!” she proclaims proudly, watching as you do as told.
“you better join me,” you tease, grabbing her hand and yanking her down so that you can lean your head on her shoulder. she wraps her arms around your head to hold you still as she places a kiss to the crown of your head.
“keep your eyes peeled, [Y/N],” yoimiya advises, “i was careful to pack extra fireworks in your favorite color.”
baal ✧˖*࿐
poor baal
it’s hard to maintain an empire of tyranny when your needy energetic s/o wants cuddles constantly 🙄🙄🙄 just girly things ig
“baal, are you almost done?” you ask from your chair in her office.
“[Y/N], i still have to finish approving these permits,” she grumbles, completing another one with a swift stroke of her brush and setting it aside. an entire stack still awaits her acknowledgment.
“aw… but i’m so needy, baal,” you coo, putting your jaw in your hands and glancing at the floor, watching your feet shuffle, “c’mon, the almighty shogun can’t take a break to give her beloved a kiss?”
“i’ll give you plenty of kisses once we go to bed,” she promises, albeit somewhat frustrated at your neediness, “but i am the ruler and that comes with more than its fair share of work.”
you stand and approach her, swinging one of your legs over her legs and sitting on her lap, her face just inches from yours. she glances up, a storm of anger brewing in her violet eyes, meeting your dopey grin. you peck a kiss to the tip of her nose and chuckle to yourself. the woman sighs and presses her lips to yours for a moment before pulling back, her expression as stony as before.
“now move,” she says, despite a dust of pink across the high points of her cheeks, “that stunt you pulled must’ve put me two documents behind schedule.”
sangonomiya kokomi ✧˖*࿐
like ayaka, she’s also pretty level-headed.
she also finds your childlike spirit absolutely adorable and has a wide variety of sweet names for you :)
“kokomi! kokomi!” you call, opening the door to the room where she drafts military plans, “while i was out exploring, i found so many sango pearls!”
the young woman glances up and smiles. “i love those!” she gasps, “i used to gather them all the time when i was little. i’m so grateful you like it here at watatsumi island, angel.”
you place your collection of pearls on her desk. “i love it here. it’s so colorful, it takes my breath away every time,” you sigh, “let’s go for a stroll! are you up for a break?”
kokomi weighs her options. “just a little one?”
you nod your head. “unless you wanna stay with me longer!”
kokomi giggles and stands. “as you wish, my love,” she weaves her delicate hand into yours and places a kiss to your cheek, “such a distraction… you truly are a challenge for my work ethic, but indeed a welcome one.”

A clipper ship in a moonlit sea, by Montague Dawson (1895-1973)
Moonlit Seas, ‘The Solent’, by James Brereton (1954-)
Art reveal: Smiling Dejen, the Warrior (+ next reveal poll!)
Who will be revealed next?
1. The Navigator, Sweet Promise of Oak and Mistletoe
2. The Purser, Ragara Wisel Tilis
3. The Vice-Captain, Sahirah Rostami
Meet Smiling Dejen, the ship's (and possibly the world's?) greatest warrior!
A Full Moon caste Lunar, Smiling Dejen has joined the ship to do one thing and one thing only — follow Captain Nana around because she's bound to get in trouble and run into the most horrifying monsters of the Dreaming Sea. Which he then plans to kill. Dejen has also absolutely not bothered learning how to sail the ship at all.
Thanks to the people who have continued to follow along and participate! Every interaction and vote makes us feel really loved, and I'm excited to reveal more and, fairly soon, the first page of the comic.
Art Reveal: Sweet Promise of Oak and Mistletoe, the Navigator (and a new poll!)
Pick our second interview question for the crew:
How would you improve day-to-day life on the ship?
What's in your pocket right now?!
Is there anywhere in Creation you hope your journey does (or doesn't) take you?
What's your most cherished possession?
What song are you singing at karaoke night?
And a fond hello to the ship's navigator, Sweet Promise of Oak and Mistletoe!
A Sidereal chosen by the Maiden of Serenity, Sweet Promise grew up in a place where your astrological birth charts determined your social caste and position in society. Hers landed her a coveted job — matchmaker. There, she had to get familiar with the star charts, comparing them against birth times, cross-referencing them with astrology. This ended up transferring quite well into navigation, in the end. Sweet Promise is more reserved than most of the others, keeping some distance between herself and the rest of the crew.
Before we move onto the final showdown between Tilis and Sahirah, let's get to know the crew a little better.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the last poll! Looking forward to continuing to get to show off these characters, and to starting the story officially.
