Random Bystander she/her Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Columbia was bored, so she decided to explore. It doesn't matter if My leg is crippled. She thought. I can still do things. While walking, she noticed an odd group of people. Still a bit bored, she decided to lurk. You sure this is a good idea? We don't want to be rude. Erin thought to her. I don't know if you noticed, but being rude isn't generally something I care about. She watched them from her hiding spot behind a bush.
EchoOfThePlanes he/him Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Remembrance flicks its tail again, mentally exploring the out-most thoughts and emotions of each individual present. 2 minutes ago, Random Bystander said: Columbia was bored, so she decided to explore.

It stops suddenly, and expands its mind outwards in all directions. A tidal wave of curiosity (tinged with anxiety) would berate the group, but Remembrance had no time to worry about that. It had felt a very strange flux of thought originating from somewhere nearby, and it was determined to find the source.

They were a bit too busy arguing. Well okay Captain Fishface. Have it your way. An annoyed Erin thought. Columbia groaned inwardly. I thought we agreed to never speak of that again! Not after you died... Besides, I'm not intruding. I'm merely people watching.

The waves of emotion ceased as Remembrance curtailed its mind from the general area, focusing its attention on the location of the foreign amalgamation of personalities. A tendril of thought unfolded from Remembrance, reaching out towards the flux, carefully exploring. The probe met the outer consciousness of Columbia and Erin, and then Remembrance hesitated. It seemed as if there was not one consciousness, but... two? Two beings? Confusion filled the creature, for it had only sensed a single body! Now it had to know what this new being was, and so it continued into the collective psyche, ushering a confused, but curious hail. What are you? Edited September 3, 2021 by EchoOfThePlanes

Luckily, Erin was able to respond. I'm Erin, and I'm a soul that got stuck in my friend's body after I died. We're both human. Don't ask how I got stuck in here, because we don't quite know. Uh... what is going on? OH NO! ARE YOU GOING TO BE SHARING A BODY WITH US?????? Asked Columbia Please don't. It's crowded enough as is. Erin thought warily.

It knew of others who had spontaneously Sealed to bodies after death. Some called it a natural occurence, and perhaps it was just that (in certain universes, at least), yet still others insisted on the necessity for a director of such a Sealing. And perhaps a director was necessary. Who was to say which is correct and which is incorrect when each universe had differing laws? Certainly not Remembrance, for its purpose was and is to remember. These two people, however, were different. Sealing a body that was already inhabited? It had no knowledge of that. It drew its attention back to the meshed mind, projecting its understanding. This is not so. I remain my own spirit-entity. A moment of silence, then, What is your name? That was directed at Columbia. Edited September 3, 2021 by EchoOfThePlanes

She said, very obviously relieved. Who are you? Erin asked.

I am not human, I am Remembrance. Quote I am very interested. So if everyone's all right with that, then I'd start working on a character who knows the Speech.
Knight of Iron she/they Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Ely, bored, turned into a rock.
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 Quote Apologies for taking an eternity to be around. My days have become a lot more busy recently. If no one's opposed, we could do a little time skip to get closer to the outpost?
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 Quote By the power vested in me as maker of this thread and 27% of it's plot, I declare this time skipped. Martin pauses as they get close to the road and casts an eye over the group. "Who's going into town?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 "Depends," Ayia replied. "How well do the majority of us fit into your world's standard person-ness?"
Knight of Iron she/they Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Ely jumped up and down. "I can fit in with strange humans!"
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 Martin frowns. "Eh..." To be fair, it would make some sense for them to be oddly clothed. You wear what you can find, especially if you're some kind of roamer. "I think we could all pass, but a lot of us would be remembered." Quote Could I get some descriptions of characters?
Knight of Iron she/they Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Quote Ely, smallish boy appearing about eight years of age, with somewhat creepy dark eyes, red hair, and freckles. Wearing a simple white undershirt with a red plaid button-up, quite pointedly not buttoned-up, T-shirt thing over it. Bright blue jeans. "Do you want me to be human, or, like, a bug?"

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Quote I kinda want to draw Ayia but idk if I have the time... Eh, it'll be a rough doodle. Gimme a sec.

Mat he/him Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Quote I have no clue what Craven is wearing, now that I think about it. He’d have been wearing just a tan sort of shirt/shorts but the Fellowship might have given him something different.
Channelknight Fadran Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Quote Art! Spoiler Edited September 5, 2021 by Channelknight Fadran Oops 1
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 Quote Fadran, your ability to quickly draw proportions is incredible! "Here's what I'm thinking," Martin says. "Ayia, Craven, Ely and I go into town and get some things. Then we come back here, regroup, and we can all go."
Mat he/him Posted September 5, 2021 Posted September 5, 2021 Craven nodded, excited to be included in the group.
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 5, 2021 Author Posted September 5, 2021 "Well then, let's get going."
