It's for Felih's Starlight party!
We'd decided we'd do a theme that represented the Adventurer's Guilds back home
With a Starlight touch for the Cafè's Starlight and Heavensturn events!
(Thank you for making sure everything came in on time by the way (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) )


[ Except she'd had an oversight... ]

We had an idea to make ornaments
Things that would represent cute things from our world!
You know. Chocobo, Moogles, Sabotenders, Aethernets... little dioramas of the city states, that sort of thing.
But I don't have any designs for ornaments for you!
I'm not leaving you out of this so help me out here!
It just won't be a surprise for you anymore... I'm such a numpty! 。゚(゚´ω`゚)゚。
Our tree has to have everything!

I could, but I don't know any here but Felih!
Besides, I have to design it to make it work!
It's the thought, too.
It might not be something you celebrated, but Starlight brings everyone together.
That's the idea!
If you describe something you found cute or beautiful in your world, I could come up with something to turn into an ornament.
And that could still be a surprise! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡
What do you think? Ready to see The Radiant Matriarch's imagination are work? ( ◠‿◠ )☆彡

A city!
Was it like this one? I'd never seen such tall buildings before!
What kind of bureau? Come to think of it— you were making those magical pets too!
Did you have anything our world didn't have?
Were you some kind of designer, Emmy?

[ She wonders how he's going to show her, assuming quite innocently that he means to just show her drawings or sketches—

What she ends up seeing, even on the device, makes her jaw drop in awe.

It's absolutely unlike anything she's ever perceived, and she brings the device close to her to - first try and figure out how he got that all done on his bloody table of all things!!

She finally switches the video on, her expression clearly one of amazement. ]


... you. They. That—??

[ Give her a moment. This is how beyond her intelligence this is. ]

I'm coming over!!!

[ And the feed shuts off, only to come on a few seconds later. ]

... where do you live.

[ Right. That first. ]

Ugh, fine. It's [ Here ] — [ She sends him where she's currently at— which is the apartment building issued to dominants but that's not where she actually spends most of her time. She just has it for her Submissives to stay in. ] But come to the rooftop in that building!!

[ Honestly she doesn't even care where, she really wants to see how he did that.

What he will see when he arrives at the rooftop will be a rather pretty little outdoor tent and garden space. She seems to grow a lot of things here, including at her clinics and at the upper and basement level of the cafe building.

She has to supply herself somehow! The tent seems to at least be protected enough, elevated slightly and inside she's arranged some fairy lights and cushion piles to lounge in while she works.. as well as certain stuffed toys that she likes sewing up. Books of all sorts seem to surround the spaces (many with some very good looking men on the covers, others with more medical topics), as well as sketches and doodles. It just looks like something someone who prefers to live outdoors would have!

Welcome to the slumber party, Emmy! ]
menphina: (can see it clear as day)

[personal profile] menphina 2019-12-09 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ She blinks from where she's sitting on the arranged rooftop benches by the high wall edges, having settled back in once he told her he'd come to her instead. She gives him a wave when she looks up and sees him arrive, hopping to her feet and moving over to him. ]

I can give myself a few hours to enjoy myself too, you know!

[ Yes she's usually always working but she can't be inspired on no relaxation fuel! ]

Being up here is a lot nicer than being cooped up inside. Look!

[ She points out to the sky beyond the railing. ]

It's almost time for all the lights to come on. Watch them with me!

[ It is around sunset and there are some building lamps that will turn on around the rooftop. Her tail is swaying eagerly as she rushes to the edge and stands there, looking out to the city beyond. ]

This place is rotten to the core most of the time, but from up here, it's like little fireflies waking up! Pretty isn't it?

[ It's not like she'd get to see this back home so she's always fascinated by the sight of the evening city. ]

[ To be fair, she can't really look once the lights grow too bright, but she does come up here because she can see the stars a whole lot better than she could down below. She elbows him gently as she turns, the softer glow of the rooftop lamps she's placed beginning to light up around the flower planters there. ]

Don't worry. I can't look for long either. It's only nice once the lights are coming on, but it's harder to see the sky if I'm down there.

[ She moves away from the railing, ears flicking as she picks up her sketchbook and device. ]

It's not the same though. I'd be able to map the stars back home. Here, I was only able to do it once all the lights had turned off once, many moons back. Anyroad!

[ She shifts ahead of him, motioning to the open space between the large roof surface. ]

... something wrong, Emmy? Or... you said that was a title... how many names do you have, Ser Architect?

[ Maybe asking him about his home made him feel bad? ]

[ Angel of Truth and Denizen of the Underworld— she's about to ask about that, when he snaps his fingers and—

Well, she's back to staring in awe around it. There's definitely more room for him to display what he's created, and she she backs up to look at it, now able to see it more clearly. ]


... this is... bloody hells. You lived here?

[ With the evening sky, his presentation of the city is standing out even more. For now, she's not even questioning how he made this— he's mentioned creation magics before, after all. With a wiggle of her ears, she lifts her device to snap some flash-less photographs. ]

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw it on the device... but this is just...

[ She crouches, wanting to look at the streets and pathways in there. ]

Duplicity has nothing on this... look at those lovely spirals around that tower! And that glow—

[ A hand goes to her cheek as she takes in the sight. ]

Emmy, this is beautiful. Where did you stay? And work? Did you design any of these towers?

[ She can't seem to tear her gaze away from it. ]

[ As soon as she knows it's alright to, she does, step in closer to look around it, ears lifting in wonder when he begins to point out the places personal to him. The bureau, huh... and the Akademia...

She does seem to be completely fascinated as she steps around. ]


Lahabrea... huh, that was the name— erm, title of the person you were irritated at in that vision I saw.

[ With this being a place that existed beyond time, having been the home of creation even before any of them... ]

What did you all look like in here, then? A fancy place like this would have to have some fancy form of dress, right? Something sharp and stylish!

[ She's trying to imagine it now! ]

[ Her ears do droop at that, expression becoming one of confusion. He's joking, right? Even their traditional outfits look more... unique than this. ]

Wait, but. How would you tell anyone apart like that? From the non-Convocation people?

[ She blinks a few times, moving over and around to look him over. It's so... plain. But she does, at least, make an attempt to figure it out. ]

So... you have this wonderfully stylish place but you all moved around looking the same? Was it some kind of uniform, then?

[ She's learnt pretty quickly that jumping to the first kneejerk conclusion would be pretty bad where it comes to him. So far, whenever he's told her something, it's always had something far deeper to explain the reasoning behind it.

So, she turns to look at the generic figures, her ears lifting as she examines them. ]


What would I think..?

[ That they're just how people are? They have their professions and identities... but she has a feeling she'll be learning soon enough on where this goes. So she circles around them. ]

In general? They're just people presenting themselves with unique identifiers. The elezen here looks like he's a weaver. This one looks like a rich merchant. He's ostentatious! And this hyur looks like she's seen better days, but seems to be very into her art from the apron with paint on it.

[ Generalizations. But she turns to look over at him. ]

But that's what I think they do. It doesn't necessarily make them what their appearances show them to be, aye?

[ So... she tilts her head. ]

If that's your cultural garb... would that mean you all dressed the same, because you didn't want people assuming things about what you offered?

[ Her ears lift in surprise, but after what he asked, she did have to stop and think on why he'd be asking it. So most of these "ancients" were capable of many amazing feats, all of them unique to them. So the only reason to give them an identifier that put them on the same level as each other was...

Huh. That's actually smart. ]


Bloody amazing... I think I follow. By donning those robes, your people didn't let anyone think themselves above the other. The Convocation acknowledged you as being able to do something far more and had you take on the title of Emet-Selch... but you still maintained that equality.

[ She smiles, hands moving together in front of her in a pleased clap. ]

Emmy, that's brilliant! That way no one would want to fight each other. No wonder you wouldn't need weapons! And that ability... so you'd be able to see ghosts? Ah! You'll have to tell me about it proper soon! Though—

[ Wait. She turns back to look at him, her questions lingering on the forefront of her mind. ]

If you gained the title of Emet-Selch, what were you called before then? Didn't you have a birth name? And— your home. What was it called?

[ They had to have had a name for some place this wonderful looking. ]
