axolotl ally wip

A shadowy creature twists in from the southeast, trailed by faint motes of starlight.
==== something entered from southeast,  ====
==== Something entered the room from southeast, ====
Esei pets Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie ingratiatingly.
Muginn glances at Esei warily, before nodding once in approval.
(Trasto): Kalliope (from the Aetherways) says, "Like every little combat event or sort of shouting or anything they have to try to immediately make it about them and their trolling lmao."
You cannot bid on auctions here.
(Trasto): Kethaera says, "Exactly Kalliope."
(Trasto): Kethaera says, "And the fact that no one cares."
You tilt your head curiously at Esei.
Standing a few inches below six feet, they are a glistening mugwump winterborne demigod changeling of distinctly axolotl heritage. Their skin is an expanse of exquisite darkness, gleaming with faint mauve iridescence and a faint sheen of moisture, silver freckles trailing across their skin like stars. Dark mauve eyes take up a surprising amount of space in their long, delicately-featured face, ever searching for new stimuli with a barely restrained curiosity. Thin, dark lips hide short, sharp teeth, and seem to curve naturally upward, eager for mischief. Three frills fan out on either side of their head, the main body black to contrast against the frills' mauve hue. Their body is slim and willowy, with a dancer's grace and an artist's care, and narrow shoulders and narrow hips giving way to slim arms and dainty hands. Each digit is tipped with a small black claw. Extending down from their tailbone is a long, thick tail, lined with a frilled fin which occasionally twitches and moves easily with their movements.
They are wearing:
a circlet of the Shee-Slaugh house nestled firmly against the crown of their head
a phantasmal shroud of shadows worn loosely around their shoulders
a silky cloak of woven starlit night hanging off one shoulder
the Medallion of Nature hanging on a chain around their neck, resting lightly against their chest
a dark, layered ensemble with a pale sash
a shoulder-mounted onyx scabbard on their left shoulder
a wedding armband of eternal night resting on their left bicep
pale leather bracers
Ebon Prayer Beads of the Silent Lord looped around one wrist
the Fingerblade of dha'Wyrden-cree attached to their left forefinger
You blink.
You open your mouth to say something, but speech fails you.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
Esei tilts their head curiously at you.
You stare blankly at Esei.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Maniacal laughter continues."
(Market): Ephe says, "I wish to have somebody craft some furniture for me."
You think to yourself: **stunned speechless**.
You tell Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie, "Emote peer esei."
Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie peers at Esei unscrupulously.
Esei offers a gentle "Hmm?" as they tilt their head curiously.
You tell Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie, "Emote emote circles ^Esei curiously, warbling softly."
Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie circles Esei curiously, warbling softly.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
The smell of wildflowers wafts past your nose.
Esei's dark frills twitch as their attention hones in on Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie.
Blinking slowly, you say, "You are..."
Esei tilts their head inquisitively at you.
(Market): Ephe says, "If you are able to craft furniture send me a tell."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "I do exist, yes."
(Trasto): Lillirallia says, "I'm mostly just tired of looking at ctells and it being drowned out by loyals."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
You have emoted: Cheliyi gestures vaguely at Esei's whole frame with a surprised, nervous laugh. "You are... wumpy. And like..."
With wide eyes, you whisper, "Like me."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "...yes. Is that going to be a problem?"
(Trasto): Kethaera says, "Yeah, I wish they weren't recorded there. I'm not sure if there'd be a way to do that though."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(The Beehive): Netra says, "Sorry. Almost lunch time."
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Aetherways) says, "What are you making us?"
(The Beehive): Llani (from the Aetherways) says, "Oooh, share!"
You blink.
You shake your head.
You shake your head.
Esei eyes you warily. "Very well."
With suspiciously wet eyes, you say, "Nope! Nope. Not a problem."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "K mgkmdfkmfdmkbd."
You clear your throat.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
You think to yourself: Ohmygods do not cry I am better than this.
Birds fill your ears with serenades of happiness and love.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Ah, uh, how is the hearing? Know that smell and such can be more sensitive with..."
You have emoted: Cheliyi gestures at her own frills.
Esei purses their lips, deep in thought.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Tridemon (from the Aetherways) says, "Dfsfdknsdfij?"
(The Beehive): Netra says, "I hope you all like air because thats what Im having."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "No more sensitive than my more sensitive forms."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "Esei is a mugwump axolotl."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "Chel is losing her shit."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "But politely."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(Market): Rubie Royale says, "I've just arrived in the Workshop of Xion! Will I be able to find some fine jewellery here, I wonder?"
You sense the sweeping gaze of Tridemon looking upon you.
You nod your head emphatically.
You nod your head emphatically.
Shadows grow longer in anticipation for the return of their dark mistress as Father Sun's chase brings him closer to the world's edge.
Muginn shakes out his feathers, the plumes suddenly glowing with an ethereal haze. Ripples of mist pool at his talons, writhing with silent, screaming faces that leave hoar-frost in their wake.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "That is good."
(The Beehive): Kennian says, "The air out of the chip bag isn't bad. Smells like chips."

Subj: Auction Summary
As Week 1 is about to be underway, we'd like to give you a rundown of all that will be auctioned throughout the month and to save you the trouble of going through the lists carefully, we'll list an overview of the new options first. Keep in mind some of these are not new things, they are just new as an auction option.
New auction options:
- Wayfaire beasts - normally available for goop and only in October, we put a few of the rarer eggs into a gold auction so you can pick them up off-season
- dolls - two rarer regular dolls have been added to a gold auction, and an Eventru doll and a Li-varili doll (new!) have been added to a credits auction
- custom beepbeep - see ASHOP 631 for an example, design the toy and its lines
- custom deliverer - see ASHOP 476 for an example, design the toy and its lines
- custom Fate Deck - see ASHOP 385 for an example, design the deck and the cards
- custom tenant generator - see ASHOP 329 for an example, will come in two flavours - modified (modify an existing generator and its tenant to your liking) and custom (design a whole new generator and its tenants).
- customised ent - if your class has an ent, you can modify it. This will have very strict guidelines so ensure it is lore-friendly and as little combat disruptive as possible (appearance won't be able to have a name, same base noun etc.)

Shadows swirl around Esei's arm as the Fingerblade of dha'Wyrden-cree shifts and turns around their hand.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Bracing self for a hug."
A rush of summer warmth passes through you as you smell grass and flowers and glimpse the limitless blue of a perfectly blue, sunlit sky.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Do it coward."
(The Beehive): Kennian says, "You may share my leftover steamed dumplings though."
Birds fill your ears with serenades of happiness and love.
Quietly, you say, "Can..."
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Can I hug yous?"
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
Esei blinks.
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "...as you wish."
(The Beehive): Kennian says, "Room on my couch and dogs to snuggle too!"
You hug Esei as best as you can, pulling them into a tight embrace.
Esei gives you a friendly squeeze.
(The Beehive): Netra says, "Omw."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "Are you alright?"
You have emoted: Cheliyi lets out a quiet squeak, burying her face in Esei's chest.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
Esei awkwardly pats your back.
(The Beehive): Hiresh (from the Aetherways) says, "I love the visual of someone sucking the air out of a bag of chips like "Yum, that's some tasty air"."
(The Beehive): Kennian says, "You can bring Flip. Did I remember that right?"
As if their very heart has become audible, the pulsing beat of the Drums of the Dead thrums through Esei's form.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Is ronin older or younger than chel...."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "I dont remember..."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "Older!"
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "By about 5 years."
(The Beehive): Netra says, "You did!!"
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Still a baby."
(The Beehive): Kennian says, "I never forget a goodest boi."
(Celest): Yinuish says, "Have plenty of people awake. We should do something."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
A breath of invigorating sea air breezes in from the southeast, carrying with it a shimmering mist which soon coalesces into the form of Tridemon.
==== something entered from southeast,  ====

Laughter echoes from around a cookfire as pilgrims exchange anecdotes over bowls of steaming stew.
As the sun passes below the horizon's edge, Mother Night unveils her terrible, shadowy beauty, spreading darkness across the land.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella says, "I wish I was awake at this time more often, there are SO many people awake."
You let loose a long breath from your lungs, exhaling slowly.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Ah, uh."
Your eyes raise to the heavens as a look of hope flashes across your face.
The chirping of crickets surrounds you in a medley of night-time music.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "We should go talk to Ronin."
Tridemon ponders Esei thoughtfully, looking them up and down.
Esei raises a slender brow.
You smile brightly at Tridemon, your frills puffing with joy.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Look look look."
(Celestial Gathering): Yinuish says, "There's a reason I don't sleep until about 4am. >.>."
You point accusingly at Esei.
Esei tilts their head curiously.
Backed by the sound of gentle waves, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says to Esei, "You're looking distinctly amphibious today."
Echoed by rippling waters, you whisper to Tridemon, "They are -me- shaped."
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella says, "Haha."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "Only vaguely, I assure you."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "We all water gang."
You have emoted: Cheliyi looks both delighted and on the verge of happy tears.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.

(Celestial Gathering): Auriella says, "I don't know how to do that one."

Tridemon nods his head sagely.
You beckon to Tridemon.
Tridemon begins to follow you.
==== Tridemon is following you ====
Tridemon reaches over and ruffles your hair with a fond expression.
You bounce up and down.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
The pulsing beam from New Celest's lighthouse surges brilliantly, a shining beacon of hope that cuts through the night sky across the entirety of the Basin of Life.
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella says, "But willing to try. Wasn't there supposed to be one this month?"
You think to yourself: **a whirlwind of thoughts, ohmygod Ronin is gonna be so -happy- what to do what to do oh you gotta -go-**.
You touch a glowing emerald leaf, and leafy creepers push up through the ground and climb up your legs. As the leaves turn brown and blow away, you are suddenly whisked away.
Tridemon follows you ether.

Standing before thrumming trees.
One or two light fluffy clouds drift lazily through the sky. Single blankets of deep glowing fog roll sluggishly along the ground and swirl in the air, the glow ethereal and quixotic. A mass of gigantic trees rise up in a barrier to the outside forces, their bodies glowing an iridescent green as a baritone hum causes the very earth to slightly shudder constantly. The air is damp with moisture, the ever present clouds overhead storming and brewing as the tropical weather causes the trees to reach their multi-colour leaves up towards the heavens. Constant motes of light swirl along the roots of the trees, traveling up along a steep ascent towards a towering mountain that juts up from the earth in the distance. A creature of starlit shadow is here, blending in with the ambient darkness. There is an aetherways portal here.
You see exits leading northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.

The Aetherplex Chamber.
The spherical chamber is formed from a hollow geode comprised of dozens of precious gemstones. Large jagged formations of rubies, sapphires, diamonds and emeralds line the walls and ceiling. The floor has been cut and polished to a brilliant shine, revealing concentric circles of brilliant colours. Upon close examination of the glassy floor, shimmering reflections briefly glide across its smooth surface of wondrous mansions and abodes. A current of electricity continuously runs throughout this mineral wonder, causing tiny sparks to erratically blossom up and down the crystalline formations. Hidden deep within the environment lies a mystic pathway. Shimmering with aetheric energy, a bright glowing portal floats here in midair. Hackles risen, a fierce timberwolf prowls about here. Sniffing at the air, a great brindle mastiff stands here with a cheerful demeanor. A giant bat hangs here, wings folded about its body and one beady eye open. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A creature of starlit shadow is here, blending in with the ambient darkness. Brangien Ryseni is here. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system. There is an aetherways portal here.
You see exits leading north (open door), south, out, and through a bright, glowing portal.
You portal to Overgrowth.
Tridemon follows you ether.
Esei follows you ether.
This room has not been mapped.
A gentle grove.                                        (#OVERGROWTH_1)
You feel hidden powers in this room. A quiet glen of gnarled weeping willows encase all sides, leaves swishing softly in an unseen breeze. Hung from many branches are small cicada and blossom origami, as if the willow trees themselves bear fruit. Twilight cloaks the area, blanketing all in a ghostly glow. Soft grasses and leaves crunch underfoot, the soothing smell of decaying flora and wet earth flooding the air with each step. Large, fluffy bats flutter overhead, oddly docile despite their inherent natures. Freshly planted, a small rowan sapling grows in a clear place of honor, lovingly tended to. There are plenty of spaces for rest, a soft patch of grass here, a plush expanse of moss there. Piled next to a rather large patch of moss sits a stack of letters, each paper clearly well loved. A small vase sits atop a mossy stump, practically bursting with flower cuttings, bringing a spot of bright color to an otherwise unremarkable sea of greens and browns. Set gently atop a bed of moss, a twilight-colored cushion acts as a comfortable pillow. Set within a nearby tree hollow, a watercolor music box of sweet lullaby gleams in the dull twilight. A large, fluffy crow's nest hangs from one of the many willows, full of shiny baubles and small bones of some poor rodent. The sound of a babbling brook seems to echo in the distance. Little else can be heard, save for the soft woosh of the entry portal. The darkness of night looms here. A thick bed of moss clings to the ground here. There are 3 moss-covered stump chairs here. Perpetually ticking away the hours, the Enduring Clock of Present's Resolution stands proudly nearby. A creature of starlit shadow is here, blending in with the ambient darkness. You see a sign here instructing you to use the PORTAL command to enter the aetherplex system.
There are no obvious exits.
(Celestial Gathering): Kethaera (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Yes!"
(Trasto): Esei says, "I mostly feel bad because of the newbies coming up and asking why people are raiding and killing Daughters."
Echoed by rippling waters, you whisper, "Okay okay."
(Trasto): Esei says, "Especially if the raider isn't getting benefits from it."
Esei follows you east.
Tridemon follows you east.
This room has not been mapped.
A babbling brook.                                      (#OVERGROWTH_2)
A morning haze burns through the twinkling twilight here, casting dappled sunlight with a soft, gentle glow that seems to make everything sparkle. Decaying leaves and plush moss give way to sandy sediment as one slips through the tree barrier, still wet beneath one's toes. And yet, this well-worn path has not yet been tamed, sprouting the occasional sturdy dandelion or leafy stem. As the path snakes and widens it leads to a sheltered hill, from which a crystalline brook bubbles over a stony stream-bed. Cutting a diagonal cross section of the glade, the rush of water burbles merrily over a series of rounded tiers formed by the occasional tangle of tree roots. The bark of these roots is oddly smooth, as if it were grown all at once, rather than forming naturally over time. Each pool is no more than three feet deep, the widest nearly ten feet across. As the water tumbles over every step it shimmers in the morning light, enticing one to simply rest their feet in a pool, or for the more bold, to perhaps splash around. On the opposite side of the glade looms a massive rowan tree, its clusters of bright berries swaying dutifully in some unseen breeze. Hung carefully in its branches is a expertly woven hammock dyed a rainbow of hues, loosely piled with blankets and a soft pillow. The light of day shines brightly. A delicate bench of twining iron daisies and vines rests here on curled feet. Swaying in place not unlike a thin sapling, a pale, overgrown mugwump stares implacably about himself with striking cerulean eyes. A creature of starlit shadow is here, blending in with the ambient darkness.
You see exits leading east and west.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote blink."
A pale, overgrown mugwump blinks.
(Trasto): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "It is stroking his little ego."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "If you need to take a breath for a moment..."
(Trasto): Tridemon says, ""Because they're assholes." is still a valid answer."
(Trasto): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Let him feel strong."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(Trasto): Esei says, "I mean aside from that."
(Trasto): Esei says, "No mechanical benefits."
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote emote turns to greet all of you, only to pause as he finally notices ^Esei. His jaw drops."
A pale, overgrown mugwump turns to greet all of you, only to pause as he finally notices Esei. His jaw drops.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote point esei."
A pale, overgrown mugwump points accusingly at Esei.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote point esei."
A pale, overgrown mugwump points accusingly at Esei.
Esei raises a slender brow.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote blank chel."
A pale, overgrown mugwump stares blankly at you.
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "Yes, me."
Across the heavens, the stars and moon challenge night's dark reign, revealing familiar constellations that tell the tales of myth and legend.
(Trasto): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "He can't raid when people are here."
You giggle happily.
(Trasto): Yinuish (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "But he'll offer to duel anyone he thinks he can beat!"
(The Beehive): Netra (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Whats everyone up to."
(Trasto): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "He tried that and got destroyed."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Slowly bashing up auction gold while I put together my resume to send to a new job."
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Its funny how much praise I got from IHC from that haha."
(The Beehive): Netra (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "You getting a new job?"
(Celestial Gathering): Kethaera (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Most of them don't like him either."
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Maybe. I'm looking into it anyway. My company is giving me strong 'going out of business' vibes so I'm nervous and I want to be prepared."
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote blank."
A pale, overgrown mugwump stares blankly into space.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote blank esei."
A pale, overgrown mugwump stares blankly at Esei.
(The Beehive): Netra (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Ooof. I know what that feels like."
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote clear."
A pale, overgrown mugwump clears his throat.
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "But I'm applying to open a franchise of a company and that is also terrifying."
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Say (awkwardly) A moment, please?"
Awkwardly, a pale, overgrown mugwump says, "A moment, please?"
You blink.
(Sanctifiers): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "How are your vows coming along, Ulkhar. Did you require assistance with any of them or ready to take any?"
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Oh, uh."
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote shake."
A pale, overgrown mugwump shakes his head.
To whom do you wish to tell?
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Move east."
A quiet sigh is the only warning as Ronin slips away, the faint scent of rowanberries trailing to the east.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
You blanch suddenly.
You glance askance at Esei.
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "...I did nothing?"
Echoed by rippling waters, you whisper, "No, you are fine, just."
Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters thinks to himself: ... wait, does Esei look like her mom...
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Hey."
(Celestial Gathering): Yinuish (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I'm still amused Zag recognised me for shouting back at Jaamir."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Ronin and Esei both smell like trees."
You glance askance at Tridemon.
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, ">:)"
(Celestial Gathering): Kethaera (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "It was a good shout."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "Hey esei."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "We could play, Auriella judges the unworthy, to see who does and doesn't have their phial and I get to punish those that dont?"
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "You know. how ronin has dark skin. and chel has mauve frills."
(Celestial Gathering): Yinuish (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "OH LOOK AT THE TIME I THINK I NEED A NAP."
(Celestial Gathering): Kethaera (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Uhh. Wait, what phial?"
(The Beehive): Netra (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Sometimes. No one really seems to do it anymore, though."
(The Beehive): Netra (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Mis."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Wait i thought he was pale."
Quietly, you say, "It's not anything you did, no."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "He's pale cause he's sickly."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Tridemon says, "You think to yourself: ... wait, does Esei look like her mom..."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "LOL."
(The Hoard & The Hive): You say, "But it's dark greyish."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "God the conspiracies."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Esei is just adrien's and javi's kid i swear to got."
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Please tell me you're messing with me, oh Queen!"
Softly, you say, "You kinda... look like Father."
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "Is that... bad?"
(Celestial Gathering): Kethaera (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Yes. Absolutely."
You glance askance at Esei.
Seriously, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers to you, "I can confirm I am not your father."
With a wry smile, you say, "Iyam well awares."
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Ooh, I need to redo my accent!"
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "But to what?!?"
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.

There is a public schedule posted now, along with a few additional events known among the Shadowlight alliance. In addition, I encourage you all to be present this coming Juliary, around the weave or just after.

A sudden groan emanates out from the surrounding trees, casting deep, swirling shadows in the soft twilight.

A warm breeze drifts through, caressing the surrounding canopy and scattering various foliage underfoot. Origami swing in the wind in an almost mesmerizing pattern, until all grows still once more.
The last vestiges of midnight shadows flee as Mother Night hides herself from the luminous arrival of her shining mate as he chases her across the bowl of the sky.
The glittering mist around Muginn burns away, the moaning visages of the damned slowly seeping back into his coat.

[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
You blink.
Wading amidst a floral pool.
The shadowy outline of a twisted forest casts a dark gloom here. Stepping beyond the bathhouse into the outdoors, this area is tucked away behind tall walls, where none but the very tallest of individuals may see over. A pool has been carved into the natural stone, filled by virtue of an underground spring with refreshingly cool water. On the other side of the southern wall, a flowering tree towers overhead. Occasionally, a stiff breeze blows its white blossoms down into the pool, adding more flora to the water. Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie perches here with a mischievous glint in his eye. Swaying in place not unlike a thin sapling, a pale, overgrown mugwump stares implacably about himself with striking cerulean eyes. A creature of starlit shadow is here, blending in with the ambient darkness. Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters with an Unknown face lingers nearby, the air about him singing with the rush of the ocean. He wields a dazzling white staff crowned by a platinum pearl in his left hand. Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk floats here, suffusing the air with the sickly-sweet scent of blackthorn blossoms. They wield an atramentous athame of blackthorn and ivory in their left hand.
You see a single exit leading north (open door).
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Yeets muginn into the water."
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Also hello welcome to room 100."
You tell Muginn, the ghost-feathered magpie, "Emote emote skirts around the edge of the pool, warbling indignantly."

You blink.
Tridemon drops an aquamarine shark.
An aquamarine shark lifts into the air by Tridemon's side as soon as he touches the ground, his body undulating as if he were swimming.
You smile brightly at Tesiat, your frills puffing with joy.
Tridemon nods his head emphatically.
Echoed by rippling waters, you say, "Good mornings!"
(The Beehive): Kalliope says, "Think you can only do ones your parents have access to."
You grin mischievously at Tridemon.
Aquamantic symbols suddenly project themselves upon the very air in dark blue light, fading after a brief moment.
Sunlight billows across the realm, revealing the full glory of the majestic sun's luminous presence as he climbs higher into the sky.
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Yeah. I picked the other one."
(The Beehive): Kalliope says, "So maybe the timing was off or the family was founded in a different thing or something."
(The Beehive): Kalliope says, "It's weirdly complicated."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I think it's because although Aison's related to both, she was -born- as this one and not the other."

(Shadowlight): Auriella (from the Astral Plane) says, "We are currently hunting upon Astral should any wish to join. Currently upon the sphere of Leo."
(Celestial Gathering): Auriella (from the Astral Plane) says, "Wonderwand."
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.

A pale pink light cloaks Esei briefly, emanating from a cracked glamrock heart of dark granite. When it withdraws, they stands in an extravagant pose, demonstrating their new outfit.
Esei settles next to the water and sticks their feet into the pool. They tilt their head at you.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Swishy swishy."
Shadowfire flickers within Esei's eyes as the skulls hanging from a shadow-limned wreath of stygian feathers sway of their own accord, like macabre wind chimes without wind.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
You purse your lips pensively, gazing off into the distance as you carefully gather your thoughts.

(The Beehive): Dionisse (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "Daisee has that valley girl shit and Dion has the irish, and lemme tell you it gets mixed up real bad into an irish valley girl some times."
Esei closes their eyes and inhales deeply, absorbing the scent of their surroundings.
Esei exhales slowly, allowing a long fluid breath to creep from their lungs.
For a brief moment, gold shimmers through the sky, casting an aureate glow upon the surroundings. The sky is empty of any Sun, leaving the air welcomingly cold.
The sun reaches the zenith of the firmament, pausing in his quest to allow the land to bask in his shining golden rays.
(The Hoard & The Hive): Esei says, "Also."
(The Beehive): Kennian (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I just started a newbie and you can't count how many times I've almost curtsied. As a dude."

You have emoted: Cheliyi floats comfortably in the water, drifting along the sides of the pool.
Backed by the sound of gentle waves, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Let's see here..."
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote emote eventually slips in after ^chel, keeping his wooden arm out of the water."
A pale, overgrown mugwump eventually slips in after you, keeping his wooden arm out of the water.
Tridemon taps a cedar curiobox, which rattles back and forth before spitting out a dancing skeleton.
Esei blinks.
You giggle happily.
Tridemon drops a dancing skeleton.
A dancing skeleton lands with a loud *CLINK* as his parts all settle into place.
A dancing skeleton begins to do the cha-cha, falling in line behind Tridemon.
Esei peers at a dancing skeleton unscrupulously.
A dancing skeleton dances and dances, completely ignorant of the world around him.
You give a trillingly melodic laugh, your frills resonating with joy.
A dancing skeleton begins to follow Esei.
[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.
Esei glances askance.
Aquamantic symbols suddenly project themselves upon the very air in dark blue light, fading after a brief moment.
Backed by the sound of gentle waves, Tridemon Regalis, Keeper of Pure Waters says, "Bones."
Tridemon nods his head sagely.
Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk thinks to themself: ** staring into the water, a sudden, quiet spark of panic... **.
With that of a brook's murmur, Wyrden Auspice Esei Shee-Slaugh of the Ascending Dusk whispers, "...yes."
With a wistful look on his face, Tridemon touches a dancing skeleton.
A dancing skeleton sways back and forth in a steady, quick beat, holding his hands out in front of him before turning them over, then placing each on the opposing shoulder.

A halo of celestial light wells about you, the shells upon a shimmering wreath of seashells reflecting it outwards, painting your surroundings in a spray of oceanic hues.

(The Beehive): Hiresh says, "I tried making a newbie and I'm just so awkward, I play Hiresh to close to my chest so it's very hard to play a character I am actively separating from myself."

With a wistful look on his face, Tridemon touches a dancing skeleton.
A dancing skeleton wiggles his head back and forth as he brings his hands across his face and then moves them off to the side, his index and middle finger held out in such a way that he might peer through them. Suddenly he begins to mime out swimming before clasping at a non-existent nose with one hand and sticking the other straight up - wiggling his way down as though diving.

Twilight shades to indigo as dusk approaches, darkening for the coming night.
Shadows grow longer in anticipation for the return of their dark mistress as Father Sun's chase brings him closer to the world's edge.
Muginn shakes out his feathers, the plumes suddenly glowing with an ethereal haze. Ripples of mist pool at his talons, writhing with silent, screaming faces that leave hoar-frost in their wake.

[Autocuring]: You do not have 'healing scroll' for 'scroll' curing.

The Mantle of Starlight shimmers and twinkles as the starlit darkness that it is formed of continues its eternal motion.

As the sun passes below the horizon's edge, Mother Night unveils her terrible, shadowy beauty, spreading darkness across the land.
You hum softly, your frills vibrating with song.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote yawn."
A pale, overgrown mugwump looks exhausted and opens his mouth in an enormous yawn.
A whirlwind of power arises around Esei, lifting them off the ground. They shudders and trembles uncontrollably for several moments before gently being lowered back to earth.

You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Emote askance."
A pale, overgrown mugwump glances askance.
You tell a pale, overgrown mugwump, "Move north."
A quiet sigh is the only warning as Ronin slips away, the faint scent of rowanberries trailing to the north.

You are dismayed as a letter doodled with bumblebees turns to dust in your hands.
The sky achieves full shadow, a pitch black expanse with only a few gasping, drowning stars for light stretching overhead. There is but a gaping hole where the moon should reside, as if the astrological body has been torn from its orbit.
Midnight shadows coalesce around a new day, and Mother Night embraces the land in utter darkness.
It is now the 13th of Juliary, 617 years after the Coming of Estarra.
