Star-bound Discovery (Closed - Eve)

Upon hearing that the flying airships were now out of commission: but more importantly - more places seemed to be open to exploration - not wishing to engage in combat yet again as he’d seen enough of those annoyances of thieves of the forest areas to last him a lifetime: he had used the magic portal to head up despite the risk, and decided to go a more ‘stealthy’ approach. Didn’t have to risk a fight if he wasn’t seen, right? This time, it seemed that the place the magic portal had whisked him was a place where people had been and built things, unlike the natural aura of the forest: but looking at the half-shredded papers scattered like fallen snow in the eerily empty place, it was evident that they had gone in much a hurry. Distant moans and groans far off did little to ease his nerves. However: all this stuff here looked really official! If anywhere, vital clues had to be here, surely. So it was he began to pick up the torn papers and trying to piece them together with the door of the ‘official’ looking room he’d found solace in shut, placing them on the ground so as to try and piece them together in one ‘picture’ there: but the sound of footsteps made it evident he was not as alone as he would like to be.

Tense, he gripped his book a little tighter: but it may be that he wasn’t the only one with the idea to investigate, and he’d like to reserve Mana wherever possible, so he called out, but gripped his book in preparation in case the one who answered was a native who wanted to attack. “....Who’s there? Are you one of those native to the island, or not?”

     Rumour had reached Soraya that the villages in this kingdom were a danger to those who passed, and truly she couldn’t help but be a little nosey.

     She was an adventurer after all, and curiosity had yet to kill this cat.

     It was more to it than that though. Someone whom she had spoken to before setting out on this journey seemed to have been separated from their friends. Soraya could understand how worried they would be, sharing the same worry about her own friends, and sympathized with the cause. It was far from her nature to leave someone in danger anyway.

     It hadn’t taken long to find some sort of danger. As Soraya made her way to this village’s center, she could see people scuttling in the shadows. Hand hovered over her mogtome, pondering if she should switch out her Scholar’s tools for Summoners... but the thought of someone being in danger caused her to hesitate. 

     She decided to take whatever came as she was. It wasn’t as if she was defenseless as she was.

     And it wasn’t as if she could use her egi anyway.

     It was when she paused to take a look at her surroundings that an arrow whizzed by, narrowly missing her as she sidestepped. Angrily, people stepped out of the shadows, and more then Soraya had originally counted. No matter, she could handle it. 

     They didn’t look ready to talk, which was fine. The Warrior of Light wasn’t much of one for words. Her mogtome was pulled up and held out, making a very unthreatening ‘kupo’ noise. 

     There wasn’t time for her to cast a spell or for another to rush in and attack before their attention averted, causing Soraya to follow their gaze. A woman, one Soraya could easily tell was not with them. 

     “I don’t know what they want, but if you’re not with them, I suggest moving elsewhere lest you get hurt.” Briefly did their eyes meet, Soraya’s gaze holding firm and not showing any sign of concern for what was about to go down. She felt no threat from the new arrival, and quickly went back to counting and surveying those who meant her actual harm. “Or, you can fight. Choose wisely.”

It’s unreal...Therion had started out looking for a chance to steal something from this girl, but he ended up getting intrigued. Maybe Cyrus was onto something when he said the scholarly pursuits could have been a good match for him...he’s been observing her, unable to fathom how one person could leave no openings for a steal whatsoever. Everything she does is logical, nothing unnecessary at all...

Maybe this is a chance to learn. If he could move like that, maybe difficult targets like this one would become much easier. Finally, he speaks up, making his presence known.

“Tell me...what’s your secret?“

⭐️ nice to meet you raihan :3

send ⭐️ to surprise my muse in the middle of the night. ; not accepting.

“nice … to meet you too!”

raihan feels near-paralyzed, his heart thundering in his chest as he peers down at the stranger. she’d just given him a fright comparable to one that allister gives him. hands propped on his hips, he swallows softly and tries to play off the fact that they’re shaking a bit.

“do you … d’you usually just sneak up on people? to introduce yourself?”

     Being in the research facility feels...wrong to her.

     It reminds her of the academy in someways, and it just settles with her wrong. But here she is, because her only feelings need to be pushed aside for this. She needs to find more answers, and this is probably the best place for her to find them.

     She’s not really sure where she’s going in here, but she’s just trying to find something that looks interesting. But she knows that she shouldn’t be trying to press her luck really. Maki might be able to fight, but she’s only human, there’s only so much she can do. She needs to find somewhere in here that can give her the information she wants. What information she wants is well...she doesn’t know what, but anything that can help her learn more about this place would be grateful.

     At this point she feels like she’s been searching around aimlessly. It’s annoying but everywhere looks to be the same and it’s frustrating her. What does she have to do to find what she wants?

     She hears footsteps and turns around, only to be greeted with a girl who looks to be a bit older than her. “Are you here to explore too? I guess I’m not the only one that wants information...”

atoll!

atoll: if your muse could go anywhere, without any restrictions whatsoever, where would they go? why would they go there?

it’s not really a place in particular, but he supposes he would go watch some professional fights. he’s always been interested in how others fight, and though he doesn’t try to adopt anyone else’s unique style ( since he has his own, ) it’s fascinating to observe them. he enjoys it.

either that, or he would return to the place his old ‘home’ was located before it turned to ash. though it’s mostly full of bad memories, there’s a certain, smug satisfaction he gets when he thinks about how he killed his father, how he laid defeated on the ground in front of their house. he thinks he would get… a kick out of seeing that spot again.

lapis lazuli, olive, mallow!

Colourful Headcanons

Lapis Lazuli -  does your muse prefer the idea of exploring the depths of the oceans, or the boundless expanses of space more?

     Exploring the idea has already passed since you could say Soraya has already done both of these. From swimming beneath the oceans and lakes of Doma and scouring the floors of the Tempest to floating through Hydalyns domain to exploring a star not her own.

     New experiences are what she lives for, so if she had to choose, the boundless expanses of space prove far more interesting. For what could be out there on those other stars? One already proved to be so different from her own, and lead to a whole new adventure. 

Olive - is your muse prone to feeling envious of others? if yes, what is it that they typically feel envious over?

     Soraya is not particularly the envious type, but she has her moments. Who doesn’t? If you asked her, and if she was willing to answer honestly, one thing she has been jealous of was her name. How she wished people wouldn’t just call her by her name. Luckily here, near no one knows her as the Warrior of Light. Just Soraya Minora.

Mallow - what sorts of things might remind your muse of those close to them? any scents, objects, sounds?

     Where does she even begin? There are so many little things that remind her of her fellow scions. Books would be an obvious one. So many of them liked to read. Perhaps not Thancred, but the rest of them to some degree.  It didn’t take much for her to think of them though. Seeing a group of friends, wandering down a beaten dirt path, even just a drink at the bar.

     The snow is what really gets her memories stirred. Ishgard. Despite the freezing temperatures and icy people, the place had grown on her. Times were tough there, but it was there she found something resembling a family. A warm cup of cocoa brings back similar feelings… though something remains forgotten.
