The Halcyon Girl Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 1 minute ago, Ranryu said: Name: Zephyr Age: 17-ish Appearance: Dark grey wings that are deformed so she can't fly so much as glide, long black hair kept in a braid, olive skin, honey brown eyes, about 5'7". Likes to wear clothes with lots of pockets. Personality: Quiet, but not shy. Very easily distracted, but can tend to obsess over things she finds cool. Doesn't really care about people, just wants to explore the world. Very curious, loves nature - especially the more extreme aspects of it. Averted to violence, but not incapable of quick thinking in dangerous situations. Other: always carries a wooden xiao flute in a sheath on her back. She never plays it. If she was on Earth she'd probably be diagnosed with ADHD. Lives with her adopted skyfolk parents. Has mild claustrophobia. She‘s 1/2 skyfolk, mixed with an unknown race. Wow I admire your dedication; you’re very competent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 As night fell, Zephyr crept out. Ah, the stars! she thought. Zephyr's parents rarely let her out of their heavily guarded house, and only during the day. Which was exactly why she was running away. The only things Zephyr carried with here was her flute and a small bag of provisions. Any more, and the servants would notice the missing items. Now, in the dead of night, everyone was asleep. Zephyr turned to her companion. "I'm ready to go." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranryu Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 "This way." As Zephyr leads the way to the edge of the floating island, her hands fiddle about, pulling leaves off the lush trees and curling the tip of her braid a thousand times. "So, what's it like? In the real world? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Halcyon Girl Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Charlotte: “Weak.” Shakes her head “I don’t know. A mix of tyrants, activists who fight the tyrants, and people who are too weak to care. And the nomads. They’re a strange bunch.” Pulls two bracelets from her bag “Can you change your weight?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 "Yep!" Zephyr grins. "My governess says I'm the best she's even seen at it!" She stops and watches in awe as a faint meteor streaks across the sky. When it fades, she resumes fiddling with her hair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranryu Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 "Wait- what" Zephyr splutters. "Don't we have parachutes or something?" Charlotte pushes her off the cliff. "I CAN'T FLYYY!!" She screams as she falls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranryu Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 “Yeah, but I didn’t expect you to throw me off a cliff!” Zephyr opened her wings to slow her fall and focused. After a few seconds, she was gliding lightly down like a feather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Halcyon Girl Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 In maybe twenty minutes or so they float down onto a boggy area, thankfully not wet, just squishy Charlotte: slipsher bracelet back into her bag “Welcome to the Everbog.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 “Why is it called a bog?” The mud was so squishy! What was that, the little hopping animal that quickly escaped into the undergrowth? Zephyr’s senses were overloaded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Halcyon Girl Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Charlotte: “It’s a big because it’s wet. The sun never shines here, because—you know—cloud.” They just jumped through a small courtyard hole, not a true edge let’s say Charlotte points up at the enourmous cloud, obscuring the sky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Zephyr stares up at it. "Huh. So that's what my home looks like from the bottom. Let's get away from it!" She takes off running south without checking to see if Charlotte is following. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Halcyon Girl Posted October 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Charlotte: “Let’s start with Javenaire, then?” Now might be a good time to ask what language she’s soeaking The language is Kellan but most ppl know English 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 What language would upper-class skyfolk most likely speak? While we're at it, do they have any funny slang or swear words that Zephyr can use? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper class sky folk— Aestran for sure Swearwords—for now just Chasms Slang—Put it up (prove it, subject it to scrutiny) Thats all I have for now—feel free to make stuff up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranryu Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Zephyr speaks Aestran and Kellan, but cannot read or write in the latter. "What's Javenaire like? My governress skimmed over my geography lessons." She picks a pale blue flower off a plant and begins pulling the petals off one by one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Halcyon Girl Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 i made a mistake—Aestran and Kellan are the same thing. The two languages are Aestran and English. Charlotte: “Big. Glittery. It’s cool.” Starts walking again “Everyone speaks Aestran, cuz hey, it’s the capitol of Aestra. And most speak English too. There are parties and dances. It’s okay, if you like that stuff.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
