week 6 tuesday

[after their town hall:]

I wonder something. If it is the case that we need to encourage the residents to be willing to return home, and if I do in fact prove able to send them dreams-

Tell me what you know of Shale and Steel's homes. In as much detail as possible; if you are able to meet me and use heliotrope to show me specific imagery, this would be most helpful.

[georeject]

I went on ventures about both of them, but I don't have heliotrope. Hold on, I'll write it down.

[pending because i'm in a work meeting right now]

[1/2]

[georeject]

[they will leave steel to nogiku and jiuqing so:]

Shale's started off with us dreaming about a safe place, I think. Somewhere that made us feel at home.

Then, we entered a forest, like something out of a storybook. There was a brook where a mother and her deer drank from, a rabbit gathering mushrooms, etc. Also, the animals spoke. But the deeper in we went, the more ominous the forest became.

A lot after that was more specific to our own lives, and I think I in particular was affected by the weapon I chose - relevant to one of Shale's friends, I believe - but at the end of things:

[georeject]

Actually, I was blind then, so I couldn't really see anything.

But from what I could tell, there were statues that were in fact people and animals turned to stone, including Shale's family. That was the reason behind their own form here, initially. It sounded like the same was happening to Percival, Ruby, and Crow as they fought, but nothing happened to me - perhaps because of my lack of sight?

One of Shale's sisters had a staff, which we returned to Shale after. We didn't get the chance to meet anyone but Shale's sisters, but their names were Calliope and Clarabelle. They said they'd take care of their mother, father, and Aunt Corrin and Colton.

Also, in general throughout the entire thing, there were butterflies we followed and a voice saying, "Some of this happened once, and some could come to pass, but that doesn't mean it is happening now."

[ktiseos]

I see. I will ask Percy if he may provide visual descriptions, then, but-- this is certainly helpful.

[georeject]

Another thing was that we were often pressured to make decisions, often whether to act or to wait for guidance.
Based off what I know of Shale, it may be something that hits close to home for him.

[countermeasures]

i don't have heliotrope either, unfortunately, but if you give me a little time i'll paint some of the scenery i remember from inazuma.

[ktiseos]

If you would, then it would be most appreciated. I shall not ask any of you to use up your ability on this.

[countermeasures]

of course. i'll meet up with you later to deliver them.

[aka i'll get you some inazuma pics once capitalism stops sucking my soul dry]

[aitou]

I think itsuki went to the place in her memories
but susensei was there too right?/ i think
for me I only really konw the stories shes told me
would that help

[ktiseos]

I think they would. The more I know, the more authentic I ought to be able to make it; Steel will be more difficult for me, as she is the only one whose memories I did not witness. I've seen at least one part of Shale's home through his.

[georeject]

Sakura trees have a special meaning for her.
Do be careful, though. Many of her memories seem to be at least somewhat viscerally painful for her. She nearly turned violent when we triggered them for her, even if she did calm down quickly enough.

[ktiseos]

If you've any input, then, on what will be safest to use... that would help as well. I do not wish to simply make her think returning home will be too painful.

[aitou]

okay
i didnt see her memories either but shes told me a few stories
so ill write them down for you

[ktiseos]

As Clarte mentioned above, if there are any you believe I ought to avoid from your interactions with her-- do say so.

[georeject]

By the way, should I still paint Vax'ildan? And if so, with which colours? If he's not refracting, then this is going to influence his behaviour like it did for Itsuki, Aymeric, and Marceline.

[what kind of insufferable do you want vax to be]

[aitou]

who else did you want to choose?

[He's trying very hard not to be selfish and ask for Kashuu]

[georeject]

Emet-Selch advised one of us or Vax'ildan because of the Dreamer's marking. Given that I'm blindly guessing, I'm open to any suggestions.

[ktiseos]

...ah, right. Well. I combined sunrise and metallic for him last week, and it resulted in a complete lack of filter, so mayhap neither of those.

[hmmm.]

Likely not marine or scarlet, either...

[he is debating.]

[georeject]

There aren't really any good options. He's going to behave oddly no matter what.

[pura]

Depends.
What colors did you use on them?

[georeject]

Itsuki - Heliotrope, Metallic, Sunrise. Heliotrope was the most dominant, I think.
Aymeric - Marine, Metallic, Sunrise. Marine for most dominant.
Marceline - Verdant, Amber. The colours blended together.

Percival - Verdant, Heliotrope, Sunrise.
Hot Pants - Verdant, Crystalline, Heliotrope.

[








do you get the feeling that clarte has been deliberately avoiding one colour to use on potential murderers]

[aitou]

[oh, actually, while they're all here and discussing choices]

if theres anywhere you think i should scout this time
let me know
i dont always know how much time ill have to look for things but ill try

[pura]

I'm worried about the volcano and how easy it would be to dispose of bodies and evidence in the lava.

[pura]

I have Crystalline this week, so I can show you a little of what I remember fron my adventure for Steel.
I don't have much to offer for Shale-san, though...
Just that he did tell me a little about his home once.
He used to take care of a graveyard, and his world was old enough that he considered all gardens to be graves.
