"Hey! No one said anything about being attacked by things! I need a lot more liquor in my system for that!" He gestures for the list in Lohen's hand. "Gimme that! What in Barbatos' name are you up to in any case? And more importantly, why?!"

[visionsofecho]

"Hoooold on a minute! That's for work, give it back, Varka!" Not that the list in itself is of any use for the Grand Master, written as it is in Lohen's typical rushed and scratched handwriting.

ROOMS

SNEKS

SPYDURS

POOFER FISH

BIG SCORPIONS?

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm just spicing up training for my brothers and sisters in the Order, like I always do... With some first-hand experience on venom and poison resistance. It uhh... builds character! That's it. Nothing to be worried about."

[azure-steel]

"Uh, maaaaaybe I should just come with you, hm?"

Make sure he doesn't kill anyone on the way there... wherever it is he might be going. Plus, he could do with a bit of fresh air~

[visionsofecho]

"A personal escort from the Knight of Boreas himself? I can't tell if you're worried about me or just looking for an excuse to escape your paperwork."

Not that Lohen would complain. It's easier to taste-test some of those new species the Adventurers' Guild added to his archive.

"Very well. We will draw a straw for who gets bitten, stung, or to eat something, and the other one can test the antidote on the test subject to see if it works. My favorite kind of teamwork, eh?"

[visionsofecho]

@azure-steel said:

He's quickly jotting down a list. Mushrooms, spiders, snakes, maybe some pufferfish... How far away is Sumeru? A scorpion or two would be good. His grin is getting wider just thinking about the look on his subordinates' faces.

"I'm off on a foraging trip, Grand Master. Can I get you anything?"

[visionsofecho]

"Some of you people haven't learned the difference between poisonous and venomous the hard way, and it shows."

He's adding notes for a new training regimen.

//There you go, Tumblr. You finally have my passport so you can stop holding my RP partner's mature blog posts for ransom.

The things I do for this hobby, I swear.

"Just the foot. Right." That opened a whole new line of questions. What made the foot useful and the rest of the Nevron not? Had the Gestral tried with other parts? Was there trial and error? He made a mental note to jot down those questions for later too, instead of bothering Monoco about it right then.

"I'm sure if given more time to study them, there might be something useful to us but we don't necessarily have the time for that right now." But perhaps after the paintress was dealt with, they could investigate further, or the next expedition would think to do so.

"Having another inventor, of sorts, could be very beneficial. I'm sure you'll have plenty of insight on matters while we travel."

[visionsofecho]

"Insight... Hmmm... Yes, something like that." And Monoco could pride himself as the most insightful among the Gestrals. Which, to be fair, would be to say not so insightful at all. But he wasn't here to sweat the details.

"But before any further traveling is considered, we should make sure that you are in shape to walk again. Old Lumiére isn't just around the corner... and even if it were, you want to be prepared for what you will find in that place."

Me: Hmmm well I've heard about this ship between my muse and this other character but I don't know, I feel pretty indifferent about it. It doesn't really call to me. RP bestie: What if I add that character to my muse list for you? Me: *proceeds to incessantly yap about aforementioned ship for the following 48 hours*

Particularly fragrant flowers. They can be easily located, even in the dark, thanks to their sweet scent. Commonly used in Teyvat to make sugar.

"Makes me wonder how it got its name, the Sweet Flower. If it's what the people used to make sugar... how did they know what 'sweet' meant when they named it? Surely there had to be something else they had before to satisfy a sudden craving. A fruit, maybe?"

A bit like that conundrum about the chicken and the egg, wasn't it?

[visionsofecho]

//You might know this already, but...

Of my many very niche interests, I am a sucker for myths of creation. I can never get tired of reading about them. I'll even read ones for fandoms I never intend to pursue, or have looked into only for a short time.

I know coming up with how the world and we came to be isn't always a necessary component when worldbuilding a fictional world, but for me it is such a special aspect of it. It encompasses so many aspects of storytelling. It doesn't even need to be a true story, but the simple fact that most people in that world might BELIEVE the mythos is bound to shape cultures, politics, conflicts, alliances... It's like a root that spreads to every corner of the world that surrounds us, and that of the characters we read about.

While I was away I dusted off my WoW lore books to reread about the Titans and the myth of creation between Void and Light, Order and Chaos. I have a few favorite fictional myths of creation to list that I'd like to mention. Do you know all of these? Is there one you like in particular? Tell me more about it if it's not in my list~

@visionsofecho continued from here

'Do you want to live outside with the rest of the rats?' was the knee-jerk reaction, a question which remained well sealed behind the thinnest lips as he tried, beyond all rational reasoning, to find an ounce of justification for this little fucker living in his space - FOR FREE - taking his favourite snack without asking.

He'd been looking forward to those all week! Especially now that he'd somehow lost all TV privileges in his own home.

The silver lining was that he apparently hadn't eaten them... but Lohen was very clearly holding them to ransom, and Varka knew he had to think very carefully about what he should say next.

A heavy sigh as he leans his broad shoulders against the doorframe, taking the time to ponder his options and glancing over the discarded chip packets, cartons from past meals, crushed cans and worn clothes strewn about his sofa.

Lohen really was like fungi, just slowly spreading his filth all over the apartment, consuming all livable space until nothing was left. Just how it was when they'd cohabited back at mom's house. Varka can't say he'd missed it at all. But he loved the brat regardless, more than anything really, and Lohen damn well knew it too and showed no remorse in using the blond's soft spots for him to his own advantage.

Some things never change.

"Name your price..." was all he said then, his voice low, expression seething.

[visionsofecho]

"That isn't a question, but I'll take it. I really like the way you made it sound!" With the sole energy of his back muscles, Lohen sprang to sit up. "And I've only two simple words."

The teenager raised but one hand, enouncing each word with his index and middle finger. His eyes stared straight at his older brother, allowing no slip of attention.

"Full. Fibre."

He'd complained about the poor connection in this apartment in the past, on his few visits for the holidays -- very rare. Mom's house was bigger and ideal for family gatherings. But there had been times when it had been impossible for Varka to come over, or he'd dropped by just because he happened to be on this side of the city for other matters -- and it seemed Varka had seen no point in doing anything about it.

Today, that would change. How else was Lohen supposed to live in this place, otherwise? The Dark Ages were far behind.

[visionsofecho]

What type of symphony are you?

The Nocturne: The Rise

There is a darkness which has tormented you, and the genius lament burdens you, but fear not... You are the pull of the tide and the light of the moon on a winter path. You are the soft notes which increase in intensity till the pianist pours over the keys with such passion that it can only bring tears to your eyes. You cannot do things halfway, though you yearn for it, and you envy those blessed with blissful ignorance, but in the end, you know you'd not have it any other way -- you are the rise they are afraid of till they cannot look away.

Your song: Nocturne in C Minor by Chopin

A hug from Collei! Such a rare and precious thing, and the best of signs that his efforts had been appreciated in full. Cyno was eager to tell his friend all about it, of course.

But Tighnari could wait. The young woman of the hour deserved the General Mahamatra's full attention before his important duties would inevitably summon him back to the Akademiya once more.

"Coping through humor is a tried and true method for many people. If my words will ease your burdens in moments of sadness, I will be honored." He said, squeezing her shoulders with his hands and a warm look in his eyes. "... Though they don't necessarily have to be jokes, either. If there is anything that is upsetting you, you know you can talk to me, right?"
