Eli boarding pass for the writeblrsummerfest ask game please

Hello there and thanks so much for the Summerfest Boarding Pass Ask! Eli is from my fantasy quest WIP, The Heralds of Blood, so he'd have dream and nightmare destinations for both Earth and his homeworld of Retha. So let's see:

-----------------------

Dream Destination (Earth): London (he wants to visit the London Library and The British Library-largest in the world-as well as The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, The British Museum, etc.), Oxford (for The Bodleian Library and Ashmolean Museum), Mortlake (To learn more about the famed 16th century court magician & scholar John Dee), Manchester (curious about the local gay culture), Bavaria (to visit Neuchwanstein Castle), Prague (to see the astronomical clock, its cathedrals and castles, Charles University, etc.), Scotland (to visit Loch Ness and various castles/highland moors), Switzerland (he'd be interested in CERN), Rome/The Vatican (So much history and lore, he wishes he could see The Vatican's library), Antarctica (penguins!)

Dream Destination (Retha): Omnecath (Retha's equivalent of Rome/The Vatican, mixed with London and Berlin, home to The Seven Colleges of Magedom as well as ruins and relics, libraries, castles and museums dedicated to the old Aetholean Empires), Helacea (Retha's equivalent of Greece, Albania, Cyprus-plenty of myth, legend, theater, architecture and culture for Eli to enjoy), The Floating Ruins of The Nimbus Gardens (he's always wanted to see the legendary fallen sky-city)

Nightmare Destination (Earth): New Jersey (Why does it exist? And who named it The Garden State? Preposterous!), Las Vegas (Why build a gleaming city of vice in the middle of an irradiated desert? Don't see the appeal), France (something off-putting about the place and people even if the museums, chateaus, countryside and food is lovely)

Nightmare Destination (Retha): St. Cyrus' Isle (Eli's home island, he does not want to return there ever), The Grimstranden (he likes to read about the wild north, he'd rather not deal with pirates, bandits and krakens lurking off the coast), Paleokhost (he's heard too many old legends and dark fairytales from the old high kingdom of the northeast, full of gruesome murder, wicked creatures and barbarous warfare-even if its no longer like that, he'd still rather not visit)

--------------------

All right, thanks for the ask! These Summerfest asks have been fun to answer, feel free to send more in!

For summerfest boarding pass: Lady Juno, and because we have name twinsies, Seraphine 💙

Ah, thank you for this! I was hoping to receive a Summerfest Boarding Pass Ask from someone. Anyway, to answer your questions:

Lady Juno Sharpe:

Dream Destination (Real-World): London (specifically to see the Globe Theatre and for pub crawls, wishes she could see The Crystal Palace during The Great Exhibition but wrong century), Paris (for the Louvre, the cafes, the food and wine), Rome (For The Coliseum & to make a nuisance of herself at The Vatican), New York (for Broadway, bookstores and libraries, to see if she could hunt things in Central Park), Canada (for nature, hunting, fishing, to visit Montreal, etc.), Switzerland (for skiing)

Dream Destination (Retha): Bronzeharbor (for the libraries, opera houses, theaters, famous literary circles, the night life along the piers full of sailing vessels, the sky alive with lights and airships), Omnecath (Retha's equivalent of Rome/The Vatican mixed with London & Berlin, for much the same reasons as above), The Hanschuline Princedoms (for the hunting, skiing and local folklore), Phaeton Citadel (home to The Ivory Court of Phoenixes, a majestic sky-island city floating over the surface of the sun)

Nightmare Destination (Real-World): Los Angeles ("Ew, no"), Florida (simply ghastly! she agrees with the sentiment "Nothing good comes from there"), Texas/The Southwest (while she'd appreciate the gun culture, she wouldn't like the heat nor much else), Washington, D.C. (what an absurd and misanthropic mess of asshats are running this dreadful pit, best to get the civilians out and let it's corruption eat away at its heart until swallowed by oblivion)

Nightmare Destination (Retha): Port Nightshade and The Northern Wastes (Lady Juno will hate it there, though perhaps legend & lore will grab her interest), Sarda and Cordeceira (nine civil wars across the last five centuries is not healthy nor a conducive environment for scholarly pursuits), Anjudeis (she likes the food and art but finds the people rude/irritating-much like France only more so)

Seraphine Harper:

Dream Destination (Real World): Prague (she'd love to see the astronomical clock, cathedrals and castles & learn about the many legends), Paris (also for The Louvre & other museums), Tokyo (she'd be entranced by the skyline, the cherry blossoms, Mt. Fuji in the distance), Australia (for Sydney Opera House-though only for the architecture, opera gives her headaches-& to learn more about Aborigine culture & The Dreamtime), Antarctica (I can see her being fascinated by it)

Dream Destination (Retha): The Celadon Empire (essentially Korea, Japan, Eastern Russia, The Philippines, Taiwan and its many cultures mingled together in one expansive island empire heavy with forests, mountains and lakes, very beautiful and full of history), Tisraniel (she'd love to visit The Great Cobalt Pyramids), The Floating Ruins of The Nimbus Gardens (I forget their usual location written in my notes but they wander, un-tethered to the world below)

Nightmare Destination (Real World): Seattle (too much rain for her liking), Chicago (doesn't strike me as her kind of city though I suspect she'd love deep-dish pizza), Roswell, New Mexico (she's an alien, she hears of this place she'd want nowhere near it)

Nightmare Destination (Retha): Omnecath (too much magic energy and psychic currents due to the large population, sticks to the bioship piers/hubs), Helacea (ordinarily she'd love such a place-think Greece, The Mediterranean, Albania, etc.-but it just doesn't sit right with her), World's End (the infamous ancient ruins beyond the last isles of Silvergard at the heart of the sea, where legend says The Goddess War ended and her goddess, Selenia, fell and died or disappeared or lost part of her form but not all of it, the records are unclear...)

All right, thanks for the Summerfest ask! That was fun to answer :)

☕ ask for Kai!

Hi there and thanks for the Summerfest Ask! Let's see:

Being a thief, hired blade and guard for a black market relics merchant, Kai wouldn't be welcome in most coffeehouses & teahouses in Port Nightshade-the reputable ones, at any rate (of which there are a few, in the parts of the city controlled by the Demonologist Guilds and the Merchant-Princes). The coffee he's able to get his hands on is likely of poor quality and bitter-which is helpful for keeping him up if he needs to be on his feet or staking out a new location to hit. So he takes his coffee black and strong, with enough sugar to water down the brackish taste but not enough to dilute the potency.

As for what he eats with his coffee, whatever he can get-though a hot, sticky sweet bun would be his preferred accompanying snack.

All right, thanks for the ask!

☕️ ask for Juno!

Hello and thanks for the Summerfest Ask! Let's see:

The Lady Juno would like her coffee in one of several ways: a straight-up black coffee is she needs energy & focus to write, coffee with a mild amount cream, sugar and vanilla if she is simply enjoying a nice cup and the same order but with dollops of whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top if she is treating herself.

She'd be very likely to have some small sweet treat-chocolate-dipped biscotti, cheesecake, a blueberry scone-with her coffee as she needs something to dunk in it.

All right, thanks for the ask!
