[overnightoaks]

I think that's a great ambition! Are you working to be a mental health counselor or something?

[overnightoaks]

Oh! Well... Mr. Whiskers is a fine name, Tinya, but now that I'm sober, I'm thinking maybe we should return him to his owner???

[overnightoaks]

Ideally you would not be burning yourself at all!!

[natzoom]

Ah, well, I meant

I meant how can you tell when you're in love?

[natzoom]

Well, it's a machine. You just...put the clothes and the soap in and push the button. I used a stepstool. It was quite easy.

You're very difficult to say no to, especially when you're so earnest. All right, I'll elt you know.

[natzoom]

Oh! A druid? I've never met a druid before. I suppose that's exceptionally useful in a place like this with so many...trees.

How does one become a druid? Is it something you're born with? Am I asking too many questions? If I'm being rude, please tell me, I don't know the etiquette around druids.

[overnightoaks]

You're not being rude at all! Asking questions is how we learn and grow as people! You can ask me any question you like.

Anyone can learn to be a druid. The first step is developing a deep connection to the nature around you! (Usually this involves a lot of meditation.)

If you're curious about learning some druid magic for yourself, come by my classes at Baba Yaga on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

The Ninth House is *in* a planet, like dig a giant giant hole maybe as large around as one of those floats in the parade (did you see that? it's like... a large vehicle but still not *that* large). At the bottom you've got a cathedral carved out of the rock, and further you have terrible living quarters, another deeper shaft to darker colder bits, and carved out most of all... caves where the snow leeks grow. So sure, no one else is on the whole planet, but it's still pretty small. Like an island without sunlight, so you're limited in what grows. Also nearly impossible to get out of. I'd know. Tried 88 times. I catch your drift. (literally, Crux had me on his damn inventory, fuck you too, dude).

tbf I'm not sure how much pins on us believing or not to the existent-or-not gods.

[Gideon rubs her eyes. As far as she's seen (limited), everyone goes for 'kill them all.' Guess how many times that's worked? She's not sure, but she'd bet 0, when you really look at it. Cause it's still happening.]

I agree you need to do something. You've been stuck in a weird box your whole life, told about war and killing each other to death, so hey, it's ~*~right there~*~ Got it. Really. So...

That's what they're doing right? How well is that working for them? You're charging them, so I'd say not great, especially if you bring your 5 special friends. You win. You kill your enemy, and wow, anyone who looks at you is going to go "oh shit, look at what they do. they need to be killed to death." Cycle continues.

Which, not that I know 5,000+ years of details, but two sides have taken that exact stance against each other for thoooooooousands of years. No matter HOW COOL the powers, it's still going on f i v e t h o u s a n d years later. You only have 13 - 4 = 9 years. How're you gonna accomplish what took 2,000 years (yours) to its shitty thing and after 5,000 years (mine) still isn't done?

I am pro-freedom. All for freedom. That's what those 88 escape attempts were about. That's why I love it here. Plus there's SO MANY PEOPLE from who knows how different of places. Ugh, this sounds HORRIBLY NERDY, I should get so much credit for this... but research it? Workshop the problem? Maybe someone else has solved it, and you could figure out how to actually get it done?

I'm just your newest buddy bringing your head back to reality. You don't have to tell me, but if you ever want to... tell me about that everything.

My mom's a bit weird, but she also demonstrates the different things that can happen. So with a body you got:

1. skin
2. flesh/fat
3. gristle
4. blood
5. bones
6. the rest of it

Skin, flesh/fat, gristle, blood, most the rest of it... that all gets processed for soap and brushes and flimsy and stuff. No magic.

Bones. These have enough magic in them a necromancer can turn them into a construct (basically a functional skeleton, despite being dead. They farm leeks. They come to church. etc etc, everything a leek farmer needs). The person's spirit who was there, what makes it *them* isn't involved. It's machinery.

Spirit. So that leaves the body whooooooooosh at death. Most of the time they skedaddle off into the afterlife. Again, necromancers can try and call them back for a chat (my mom wasn't super helpful, just shouted GIDEON GIDEON GIDEON GIDEON) (one guess what my name is). Oh yeah, she was dead when we got there? Falling down that hole I talked about? Not the point. They were WTF and thus the chat. Wah wah went poorly, everyone went on their way.

Except she did what spirits sometimes can do. She stayed. That makes her a revenant. And she... was around the whole time I guess, but low key. I didn't even KNOW. Fast forward to right before I came here. She traveled with me, found a preserved corpse, and used that to (you'll be surprised I'm sure) fight that war I was talking about. Dead 19 years and still had an axe to grind. Didn't work out.

So that's bones and spirit and what gets done WITH them. Not everyone's a necromancer (I'm not, my mom's not). Necromancers are living people who use the energy of the dying to do all that stuff (it is NOT RECOMMENDED to use your own dying energy; guess what happens? did you guess die? yeah, it's die). But with people and animals and plants and whatever else, you've always got things being born and dying (plus if you're IN the war, everyone's dying all over the place).

Okay, I'm backing up on planets and space. During the day, the sky is blue. That's the sky, that's probably where your airship flew (since it has... air). At night, you see the dark and in the dark you have stars. Day hides that darkness and stars. Those belong to SPACE, which is even higher than the air in the sky. In fact, if you go up far enough, there's no more air. There's just black emptiness until you reach something else in space. Do you have a moon? Like, moons are smaller rocks that circle the planet they're around. Your planet is the giant rock going around the sun. And... as you see with coming here, other places exist BEYOND your planet.

[kyley_b]

yeah. i was working towards my PsyD back home.

[darknighted]

I admit I'm curious as well. It would be nice to trade stories.

Then let's consider it a plan.

My name is Diluc, incidentally. Diluc Ragnvindr, of Mondstadt.

[dreamsofwings]

You came from underground? There's an underground part of our city on the island, but it's a bad place. I guess it's a place that the higher ups wanted to forget about. They leave people to rot down there. No one deserves that.

You tried 88 times to get out. Did you ever make it before coming here?

Oh, you misunderstand. The other titan shifters and I are not friends. We're enemies, with one sort of exception.

[ Eren's feelings on Zeke are complicated at best, but their alliance is necessary. Are they enemies in the end? Well, that depends on a lot of how someone chooses to view things. Eren's not really sure. ]

If we don't fight, we die. It's pretty simple.

[ IT IS NOT AT ALL, but Eren…knows how it ends, for better or for worse (spoilers: it's for worse). But now, here, he's not sure what it means for him as a person.

Freedom, the thing he most desperately wants to grasp, but now that he has it, it's hard to recognise that he didn't before, not ever. ]

Why do you think they left us alone for 100 years? They were afraid of how powerfully we could retaliate against them. Now they got greedy and wanted to take everything away from us. I'll never let anyone take freedom away from people I love.

[ Even if he has to kill everyone alive IT'S. FINE. ]

I only have 4 years left. I'm well aware that time is running out.

[ He just doesn't answer that how are you going to accomplish bit; he's not about to write that down where people can see it lol he doesn't understand technology but he understands that this isn't private. He's also self-aware enough to know how fucked up he is, back home, he'll never stop. ]

You think someone else has solved war?

[ Sounds fake! ]

Your mom. Did she exist as a revenant away from her skeleton then? Who the hell turns skeletons into farmers? Are they killing people so they can do that or do people just die naturally and then their skeletons become farmers?

[ HE DOESN'T LIKE THIS, sounds a lot like the opposite of freedom! ]

But your necromancers. Are they soldiers?

[ He latched on to that battlefield thing, probably because it's the most familiar thing he can hold onto in all this new info. ]

What do you mean day hides the darkness and stars? The stars come out at night.

[ Planetary rotation whomst! He knows nothing about this, because how could he? It's likely that the rest of the world has some of this basic knowledge, but knowledge was restricted, and science is something that Paradis was just woefully behind on. If someone there knows any of this, it sure as hell isn't this kid who thinks with violence! ]

We have a moon.

[ It hadn't occurred to him until right now that somewhere, someone lives in a place without a moon. He understands the other worlds thing sort of, but he hasn't yet grasped the vast differences in a more tangible way. This is helping. ]

The moon goes around the planet, okay. But the planet, the whole world we live on, goes around the sun? And there's no air if you far enough up. So how can you travel there? You can breathe because of death magic or something?

[heirlift]

yeah. my government-assigned fursona is a rabbit because i guess someone has a really bad sense of humor.

[heirlift]

most of the time, no. but it kind of is at 3am when you're over tired and lonely!/span>

[kyley_b]

oh you can totally blame boners on the bunny thing.

don't be sad, though, rabbits are really cool.

[ it's always so ironic to use that word sometimes, but he's probably the only one who finds it funny. ]
