"YEAH" I cut through the block of lightweaving like butter, using the shadow to conceal my movements once again, disappearing into the fog.

The “butter” sticks to your sword, your shardplate, seeping in to your skin, weighing you down. I dash forward and strike the same spot on your plate again.

And yet, as it sticks, it becomes weightless, and you find that the me you attacked was merely a light weaving, and I strike you from behind.

Grub and Quark run to greet the newcomers. “Welcome back Star! Congrats on the new oaths.”

“Congrats! I was wondering, why did you just fade out all of a sudden?” Quark grabbed Grub’s arm and held it up, displaying the copper bracer on his lower arm. “And remember to record this time.”

Star grins. "Thanks." When Quark holds up Grub's arm she pauses. "Are you a feruchemist?" 

Ryil's eyes widen, and he zips over to where Quark is as a ribbon of light. "A feruchemist? Can I see?" He asks, pointing at the copper bracer. 

Coil edges out slightly from Star's feet, looking over at the other spren longingly. She never had been good at making friends, but that didn't mean she didn't want them. 

Flicker's pattern pulsed, and she leapt from where she remained on Star's shirt. Then, she chose to become a full sized cryptic, stiff robe and all. "Because I wanted to," she said in response to Star's slightly questioning look.

Westward's plasma flashes as he processes a bunch of spren and people appearing all at once.

Coil slowly makes her way towards Westward, though somewhat hesitantly. “Hello!” She says. “Im a cultivationspren. What kind of spren are you?”

Grub’s face contorts in confusion, then he had the moment of dawning realization. “I met someone while I was living with the Horneaters. She wanted to get through the Pool, and she offered me a medallion that lets me store memories. I found that the copper piece wasn’t important, so I made a bracer and separated the nicrosil. Quark has been going crazy over it, since it matches no Surge we know. Before they blow what, what’s feruchemy?”

Chara sees the entrance of new people, and wanders over. “Hi everyone, I’m Chara the highspren.” She is actively reveling in her new name.

"Progressionspren" Westward says, trying to seem distracted.

Star nods. "That's cool. In response to why I faded out of the vision, I just got distracted, I suppose. And feruchemy is... that, I guess. Storing things."

Ryil nudges the copper bracer with a tiny finger, examining it. Then he flits over to the medallion, looking over that as well. "This is interesting..."

Flicker greets Chara, her pattern pulsing. "I am going over there now. Want to join me?" She points to where Coil and Westward are talking.

"Why are you so distracted?" Coil asks, trying to look where he seems to be looking. "Is it something I did?" Her anxiety from before returns with a  vengeance, causing her to tremble slightly.

Aesthetic sighs. "Again, West? That's not how this works. You talk to them and you don't pretend to ignore them. Then they talk to you. What do you not get?"

 

She turns to Coil. "It's not your fault. He just doesn't have any social skills."

 

"Hey!"

"It's true"

Aesthetic motions for Flicker and Chara to come over. "Practice, West, practice."

“I see many spren are fascinated by this strange fabrial.” Grub smiled. “Glad to see it isn’t just another one of Quark’s quirks.”

Quark rolled their eyes, then pointed at the medallion. “Speaking of quirks, Grub won’t stop looking at that medallion. He keeps thinking about the story of two people called the “Sliver of Infinity” and the “Last Emperor”. Something about the law and justice.”

“Sure.” Chara walks over to the other group, “oh, a cultivstionspren? Your name was Coil, right? How long have you been with your Radiant?”

Aesthetic motions for Flicker and Chara to come over. "Practice, West, practice."

Star smiles. "Ryil is always the scientific one. Unless I start having a mental breakdown or something. Then he turns very emotional and supportive. He's the first spren I bonded, though I swore my oaths with him later than with Coil."

Ryil nods to Quark. "Star has many quirks. She tends so memorize random things, and keeps writing down all these strange ideas and things. It's very interesting." "Hey!" Star protests, and they both dissolve into light-hearted laughs. 

 

"It's okay," Coil says hesitantly. "I'm not very good at talking to people either." Then, turning to Chara, she responds, "Yes, I'm Coil. i've been with my Radiant for about two months now. Ryil's been with her much longer, years, even." 

Flicker walks over, Chara next to her. "How do you do?" Flicker says stiffly, then grins. "I'm kidding. How are you?" She pulls out a pencil from somewhere in her Cryptic robes and begins to twirl it between her fingers.

Aesthetic elbows Coil and whispers happily, "If he ignores you that means he likes you..."

 

 Westward seems to blush and glare discreetly at Aesthetic, even though he has no facial features.

Coil immediately starts, jerking back a slight bit. "I, uh," 

Flicker elbows Coil, seeming to grin, her pattern pulsing. "Aww you'd be so cute together."

Aesthetic turns to Flicker and whispers, "So how are we getting this to happen? I can promise you West takes a liking."

“Hmmm” Flicker whispers back. “Maybe we should make them go do something together. I think Coil likes him too- she hasn’t run back to Star yet.”

Aesthetic's pattern pulses. "Well, I'm an avid matchmaker. I helped Ketek-"

"Wait. 

That was you?"

Posted

Aesthetic whispers into Westward's ear

"Ketek needs me for something, be back in a bit!"

Posted

Flicker laughs, then nudges Coil. "I've got to go, Star needs me. Be back in a bit!" 

She hurries off in the direction of Star. 

Posted

Westward shifts uncomfortably. "So...um..."

"It was Coil, right? That's your name?"

Posted

Coil glances in the direction of Flicker, then awkwardly begins, "I'm Coil. The Cultivationspren. Storm it, I said that already, didn't I? I uh like having friends. Is that a weird thing to say?" She trails off, fidgeting nervously.

Posted

"No, I don't think so? Uh, I- I like-" Westward stammers, "I like knife fights?"

Posted

"oh!" Coil perks up. "Do you like participating in them or watching them?" 

Posted

"Mainly being the knife- Ketek's finally been practicing- but it's fun to watch as well." Westward's shoulders stop tensing slightly. "It's just the thrill of it all, you know?"

Posted

"Yeah!" Coil says brightly, relaxing a bit. "We should have a knife fight! Star's been practicing a bit as well!" 

Posted

Aesthetic nudges Flicker from their hiding spot.

"It's woooorking!"

"Sure!" West seems to smile, "I think Ketek needs some practice anyways!"
