Moonscratch Chronicle; Cycle One

HI guys, my bad for not posting the past week. I usually try to get at least 2 posts in per week but this week has been a bit of a ...series of unfortunate events - what with my hospitalization last time and the things that followed.

I've also recieved some very disheartening messages, so I felt rather unmotivated to post as well.

It will take some time for me to recover to regain my bearings, meanwhile I grant Crumbs and Vec to use my character as an NPC (aka, hired muscle or plot assistant). I will try to post tomorrow after I read all the posts.

I know I have been delaying posting quite a bit and I do sincerely show remorse, but this is in no way meaning that I have lost interest in the roleplay --- it is on my mind literally every day despite the IRL circumstances I am in.

Regards,

@Crumbs@rush99999 Indeed, will try to post here more often than in discord. I mean that, afterall this IS the first place I look for things related to the roleplay. I don't want to neglect it!

I'll be reposting the discord link that misa-chan has given every so often, so that if any of you or new players drop by the OOC it'll be easier for all to access or view without getting lost in the messages.

The City Capital of Delad, Serene Pools

K looked around them, taking a moment to glance back and forth before finally deciding to reply to her after much hesitation. Living in Aedrasil has made him a little more than paranoid, especially when he was without the linguistic finesse Wraith possessed, one wrong word and he would find himself yet with another spear stuck through his side without Wraith there to help him.

He rathered not take the chance, traumatized by the events of the past ...

The man fingered the air a little, tapping at something unseen. Then stared quietly at thin air for a few short moments before tracing down words on a piece of parchment he had swiftly fished out from his pockets, his hand was unsteady and shaky - almost like it was unused to the art of writing.

---Illusion insect. Lack courage showing happiness. Reality!----

He raised both hands innocently afterwards, though that cheeky grin was still hidden somewhere under those pursed lips.

"I f-feel like we don't talk enough." Lucia then stuttered even more innocently.

...K proceeded to give her a very flat look.

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

He could hear the soft wind flowing through rustling leaves set upon nearby trees and the crystalline sound of water, trickling into a pond of sorts somewhere. He consulted his map, logically trying to piece together clues as to where they were based on what he heard. The Serene Pools, it read. Marked by the hand drawn icon of a golden little hut on the paper.

A Temple?

His eyes grew quizzical and he showed the map to Lucia, tapping at their location. What would a Moonscratched be doing at a temple this close to evening?

As she looked at the map, his eyes were drawn to the ivory monument before them. Pristine white, of what he guessed, marble, delicately carved into the foundation that made up most of it. Architecture depicting aspects of plants, leaves and animals had been sewn into the filligree that lined the seams of the place. And even though Ivy had grown rampant through the place, seeping into every pore and crack it could find with their tendrils, there was something about it that made him think they were purposely tended to this way - there was not a single dying leaf in sight. With Origin's fading light welcoming the evening breeze, he was certain if he could breathe the air here it would be refreshing beyond words, but alas, such was forbidden fruit was it not?

It dawned on him that he had no time to further muse about the tranquility of the place unfortunately, time was short. And soon his attentiveness paid off as he spotted an entrance into the complex not too far from where they were, a hidden alcove by the side of the building - likely not the main door.

Hihi @Crumbs@Komamisa@Vec@rush99999

Is everyone still here? I've been released from medical torture hospital! I'm typing up a post now, it's been on my mind for the past few days and I've been feeling guilt ridden over it ... but now with good, long lasting network, I can finally begin!

But it should be up pretty quickly, I've had more than ample enough time to plan my post while lying on a bed stuck with IV drips and weird machinery stuck to my arms. I tried the copy paste method but something was wrong with the server and I could only send messages I typed through another app/game's browser (which didn't allow copy paste) as a proxy, so I was stuck with messages that I HAD to type only within a few minutes or so (including logging in, typing the URL to this website, connecting to the hosp's wifi through the app).

I will have the post up in about an hour.

My bad if I kept anyone waiting, I'm still trying to get a laptop into the hosp to type - but things are hard. Can't type from phone long messages either because phone keeps disconnecting from server every few minutes, erasing any message longer than a minute to type.

If you are waiting for me, kindly feel fRee to skip my turn this time. And crumbs, I welcome you to guide K along in your post and treat him as an npc if I haven't posted by tomorrow (half a day from now) because likely I was not able to get my laptop in/the person I asked was to busy to bring it to me.

It's nothing serious, they are just keeping me here for observation so no worries there. I'm actually more worried about not posting lol. Once more, I'm really soz about not posting because of this, the stars are really aligned against me for this one post LOL - I feel like I'm being experimented on by the doctors whenever they keep giving me these non-answers.

"Inconclusive." My foot.

Phantasm

@auspiciousPetal Aww, that really cheered me up. I'm in a writer's road block right now and knowing that you liked it really made my day.

I had medical issues these past few days which I'm not sure I should discuss here, thus my bad for delaying my post for one day more than usual. I try to post at least two to three times a week if it is my turn, but this week was unusual. It's nothing too serious that I can't handle though so don't need to worry if you do. :).

But now that I be in front right where my keyboard is, I'll have a few hours to spare soon and will be typing out my last post from memory.
