this new air feels hard to breathe, is this how it's supposed to be? if sweet dreams are made of these then why can't I be sure?
Otem's state of mind had done a near 180 turn since she met Raein in the portal-area just a few short days ago. Since then, not only had her soul softened to the idea that perhaps the Rift could be her home, but Kisamoa had renewed her sense of purpose with his hope-spreading task. Jokes of STI's, pyramid-schemes, and the sheer corniness of being asked to spread hope, the autumn-touched girl-woman was invigorated by the task.
It was something to do. Something to aim for, and to be successful at. Spreading hope was a metric she could actually track, an objective marker of how well or poor she was doing. Something tangible to take her mind off the fact that just about everyone she had ever known or loved was gone.
After meeting Aurelia Otem came to the conclusion that her story was really no more special for having been the offspring of a demi-god. Hadn't almost everyone come with a story of great woe and heartache? Weren't they all princes or queens or cast-out angels? Whomever she might have been in Helovia, a land where her lineage was something meaningful, was now gone. It was who she was going to be in the Rift that was now up for debate.
But right now all Otem wanted to be was loud.
"HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" Otem screamed with both her telepathic voice but also her actual one. Her word reverberated off of the cascading spire, echoing back towards her like a cruel mimic. "WE NEED A PLACE TO GATHER...AND I SAY IT SHOULD BE HERE."
Would anyone come? Would anyone agree?
How implausible to think anyone would even hear her?
And so, even though her earthen sprites could not go very far from her, she conjured them nonetheless. Pandora, the melanistic owl took to the skies, seeking to bring anyone who might be looking for the source of the call, back towards Otem.
All welcome! Otem basically just thinks that everyone needs a 'home base' where we can return back to. Since we don't have herds yet, she just doesn't want everyone wandering the fuck away like they did when the portal first opened. If you want you can say you heard Otem's mental or audible call, or saw her earthen-sprites, or saw Pandora :3
No posting order, just basically for IC knowledge that we'll all congregate here? If you're down for that, that is :D
