Receiving the helm of the first flame

[22:22] Dun Task says, "Alright Revan."
[22:22] Dun Task says, "The Therian rite of marriage is simple."
[22:22] Revan Task asks, ".. is it?"
[22:23] Dun Task says, "Simply strip naked, smother each other in ash, and dance around a fire pit for an hour. It is usually a private ceremony."
[22:23] Lilith Allison says, "What the fu-"
[22:23] Dun Task says, "After that, you are joined as one in the flame."
[22:23] Revan looks towards Lilly.

[22:23] Fenes Cerberus says, "...."
[22:23] Lilith would turn the hell away
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] Fenes Cerberus whispers: you sure it's not a joke?
[22:24] Miranu couldn't stop laughing.
(Miranu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] Lilith would then start thinking about renouncing her Fireblood religion
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:24] Lilith Allison whispers: It has to be a fucking joke
[22:24] Fenes Cerberus whispers: it probably is a jok.e
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:25] Lilith Allison whispers: Your Dad is freaking Nuts
[22:25] Revan Task whispers: I don't.. Recall of reading any such texts..
[22:25] Revan Task asks, "Father, how old are you now?"
[22:25] Fenes Cerberus whispers: So yes. it's a joke.
[22:25] Miranu says, "One hundred and six or seven I think."
[22:25] Dun Task says, "One hundred and thirteen, give or take."
[22:25] Miranu says, "..........."
[22:25] Revan whistles.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:25] Lilith Allison says, "Freaking hell"
[22:25] Lilith Allison whispers: He's made a deal with Death himself I tell you
[22:25] Fenes Cerberus says, "...I really don't want to see what's under that helmet, damn..."
[22:25] Revan Task says, "And you tell me I take things too slow- look."
[22:25] Dun Task says, "IT is not a pretty sight."
[22:25] Revan Task says, "I have plenty of time."
[22:25] Fenes Cerberus says, "I Can guess..."
[22:25] Lilith Allison says, "..."
[22:26] Miranu says, "I know what's under Dun's helmet."
[22:26] Lilith Allison says, "If Bay has done a better job of romance then you, I have lost all hope"
[22:26] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: We still have our whole lives ahead of us, love~
[22:26] Fenes Cerberus asks, "...Did you need to drink until you forgot it?"
[22:26] Revan Task says, ". . . . ."
[22:26] Revan Task says, "I think."
[22:27] Revan Task says, "I'm going to go for a walk."
[22:27] Fenes Cerberus asks, "Why?"
[22:27] Lilith Allison says, "With us of course"
[22:27] Miranu says, "A sentient shirt with his face is under Dun's helmet."
[22:27] Revan Task says, "Because walks are nice."
[22:27] Fenes Cerberus says, "...Sounds hilarious."
[22:27] Revan Task says, "..."
[22:27] Dun Task says, "..."
[22:27] Dun Task says, "Don't go unprepared."
[22:27] Fenes Cerberus says, "And let's have a group walk, yes."
[22:27] Lilith Allison says, "Sounds like nightmare fuel"
[22:30] Miranu asks, "Like Lynette fuel?"
[22:30] Dun would at last remove his helmet from his visage, revealing the hollow socket, Cheshire grin scars, and wear and tear of age the one hundred and thirteen year old elder had accumulated.

"You are now the head of the Fireblooded temple Revan. It is time to make it firmly your responsibility as we go forth into uncertain times. My first recommendation is arranging a genuine, heartfelt apology for your brother."

The helmet would be tossed to Revan now, his for now and his life should be bare his mantle proudly.

"You've made me proud son, but family is everything. It's all you've got in the world, make sure don't become unfamiliar with your own."
(Dun Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:30] Fenes Cerberus says, "......................."
[22:31] Lilith Allison says, "What the fu-"
[22:31] {ITEM} Traded item with Dun Task: Helm Of The First Flame
[22:32] Lilith is seriously rethinking marrying into the Task family
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:32] Fenes stares.... just.... stares.
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:35] Despite Miranu joking about the girl remains completely normal. She didn't cringe or stare at him intensely. It was as if this was another day in Theria for her. She shoves her hands in her pocket. The girl couldn't help to ask a question.

"Just how many injuries did that body of yours endure throughout life?" It was spoken not as if she revered him, but rather talking to someone as if thy were equal despite that not being the case.
(Miranu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:39] Nightmare fuel, terrifying, terrifying, terrifying...

Grampa was certainly past his prime. This was the face of a master artificer, of the person who would create all those fantastic and legendary weapons... Well, her eyes were certainly opened... And seeing him throw his helmet to Revan, she freaking hoped that he would NOT WEAR THAT.

Regardless, she was rethinking her life decisions... Just what type of family was she marrying into.

"Yup... I see why he wore the helmet now."
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:40] Fenes Cerberus says, "...Yup."
[22:41] There would be talk of his father removing his helmet, something that was a funny joke, talk of marriage suddenly coming about from his father- and then his father started speaking solemnly.

What.

Grabbing the horns of the helmet, the Fireblooded relic would be removed, and for the first time in his life, Revan would see his father's face, the scars he hid beneath them. His jaw would drop as he father continued to give him advice for how to march forward.

WHAT.

"Yes, Father."

Was the first thing Revan would say, instilling himself with the confidence that his father was entrusting him with. His voice would boom as he suddenly stood a little straighter.

Make a heartfelt apology.

"I will.. Do my best.. I.. Understand.. Family is what matters most- I have not forgotten then.. I have.. Not stopped seeing Valero as my brother.. And I will do my best to set things right with him.. As well as.. Leading the church."

Turning his head, he would look towards Lilly and Fenes- was this another mask he was about to don? Well based on Lilly's reaction, not without washing it first.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:42] Fenes crosses her arms and just lets out a sigh.
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:42] Revan Task says, "I..."
[22:42] Revan Task says, "Really need that walk now."
[22:42] Lilith Allison says, "With us of course"
[22:42] Lilith Allison says, "We need..."
[22:42] Lilith Allison says, "A walk as well..."
[22:43] Lilith Allison says, "After seeing that..."
[22:43] Miranu says, "I guess my question will go ignored then."
[22:43] Revan Task says, "..."
[22:43] Revan wouldn't comment how creepy it was to see his father astral project without a mask or helmet on.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:44] Miranu says, "Heya cowboy."
[22:44] Fenes Cerberus says, "...I don't know what to think anymore..."
[22:44] Fenes Cerberus asks, "...So you're.. leading the church now, Revan?"
[22:44] Arch says, "Howdy, Miranu and company."
[22:44] Arch says, "Wait-.. What? "
[22:44] Revan Task says, "I.. I guess I am..."
[22:44] Miranu asks, "You feeling lucky Arch?"
[22:44] Lilith Allison says, "So... About religon being bad..."
[22:44] Fenes Cerberus says, "...Hey."
[22:44] Fenes Cerberus says, "I still think it is."
[22:44] Arch asks, "Old man Dun stepped down-...?"
[22:44] Fenes Cerberus says, "Doesn't change a thing."
[22:44] Lilith Allison asks, "How does having a Fireblood pope feel Sis?"
[22:44] Revan Task says, "Look at me."
[22:44] Arch says, "And usually am, Miranu."
[22:44] Revan Task says, "I am dun now."
[22:44] Lilith Allison says, "As a friend of course"
[22:45] Arch says, "-"
[22:45] Fenes Cerberus says, ",,,"
[22:45] Arch says, "Take that off."
[22:45] Miranu asks, "Good then have you seen Xyth around?"
[22:45] Lilith Allison says, "You just... Wore that"
[22:45] Arch says, "Haven't.."
[22:45] Fenes Cerberus says, "....I just..."
[22:45] Lilith Allison says, "Even with all the... Things that might have..."
[22:45] Revan Task says, "It didn't touch my skin. "
[22:45] Lilith Allison says, "Accumulated... Gathered up..."
[22:45] Arch says, "Revan."
[22:45] Revan Task says, "I just held it over my skull."
[22:45] Miranu says, "I wish to continue to seek his help in connecting with a star."
[22:45] Lilith Allison says, "You breathed into it..."
[22:45] Arch says, "If you aren't 'fireblooded'"
[22:46] Revan Task says, "... Of course I'm a fireblooded-"
[22:46] Arch says, "It'll melt your skull.."
[22:46] Arch says, "-- Good."
[22:46] Revan Task says, "Born and raised.. And resdiscovered.."
[22:46] Arch says, "Don't let anyone else wear it, even as a joke.."
[22:46] Arch says, "Or they'll die."
[22:46] Revan Task says, "I had a short lapse where I tried being an Asenite."
[22:46] Revan Task says, "..."
[22:46] Arch says, "Slowly, and painfully.."
[22:46] Lilith Allison says, "I think... I might go puke... For a moment..."
[22:46] Revan smiles mischieveously to himself.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:46] Fenes Cerberus says, "..."
[22:46] Arch steps back.
(Arch)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:47] Revan Task says, "Tell me, Arch."
[22:47] Lilith Allison says, "..."
[22:47] Revan Task asks, "Are you a Garljing fearing man?"
[22:47] Miranu waits until Lilith comes back and lifts her hand up patting her on the head.
(Miranu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:47] Arch says, "Not at all."
[22:48] Fenes Cerberus says, "..."
[22:48] Lilith Allison says, "Thanks... For the pats"
[22:48] Arch says, "I hate all religion equally, and I've always have-... Dun couldn't even change that."
[22:48] Fenes Cerberus says, "...I don't know...."
[22:48] Dun Task says, "Revan."
[22:48] Dun Task says, "To bare the mantle of the fireblooded."
[22:48] Dun Task says, "You must WEAR"
[22:48] No. I'm done with this.
(Arch)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:48] Dun Task says, "The helmet."
[22:49] Revan Task asks, "Yes, father?"
[22:49] Dun Task says, "It's suffering is part of the growth."
[22:49] Fenes Cerberus says, "...After cleaning it."
[22:49] Dun Task says, "No."
[22:49] Would keep him here
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:49] Revan Task says, "...."
[22:49] Arch says, "... Damn you."
[22:49] Lilith watches Revan carefully
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:49] Arch says, "- Wait. Does he even have to wear it durin'-.."
[22:49] Dun Task says, "Yes."
[22:49] Arch blinks.
(Arch)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:49] Lilith Allison says, "No"
[22:49] Fenes Cerberus says, "..."
[22:49] Thalis Avitus says, "Yes."
[22:49] Lilith Allison says, "...No"
[22:49] Thalis Avitus says, "Yes."
[22:49] Thalis vibrates in godspeed.
(Thalis Avitus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:50] Fenes Cerberus says, "No..."
[22:50] Arch says, "This is why I both avoid any and all romantic entanglements and cursed helmets.."
[22:50] Lilith would grab a hold of Fenes. Her entire world was turning into a nightmare
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:50] Miranu says, "Sounds like Arch is having the nightmare."
[22:50] Fenes holds Lilith close. Nightmare indeed.
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:51] Arch asks, "The nightmare?"
[22:51] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: Can I just..
[22:51] Miranu asks, "Fenes is Lynette haunting your dreams?"
[22:51] Arch says, "My life feels far be-... Lynette..."
[22:51] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: Wear it for now.. And then.. Bleach my skull..?
[22:51] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: ...
[22:51] Arch says, "That's not a name I've heard in a long time."
[22:52] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: I have no say in what you do here
[22:52] Miranu says, "But it's a name I won't forget."
[22:52] Thalis Avitus says, "Th' Saekanite's dancin' with 'er deity now."
[22:52] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: ... Will you.. Still love me.. if I wear it?
[22:52] Arch says, "It's a name I hope ta' forget."
[22:52] Fenes Cerberus asks, "...Lynette?"
[22:52] Miranu says, "What did she do to you?~"
[22:52] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: . . . Eventually
[22:52] Arch says, "-... I opened her door after Magne's death."
[22:53] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: ... How far does it.. Set me back?
[22:53] Thalis Avitus asks, "... Take it she was eating?"
[22:53] Miranu says, "-Say no more."
[22:53] Arch says, "Found her with her chest cl-..."
[22:53] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: ...a month
[22:53] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: Maybe
[22:53] Arch says, "It wasn't a pretty sight."
[22:53] Thalis Avitus says, "Figured."
[22:53] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: Or something...
[22:53] Fenes Cerberus says, "..."
[22:53] Miranu asks, "Consumed herself right?"
[22:53] Arch says, "Yeah."
[22:53] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: .. Can I make it up to you..?
[22:53] Arch says, "Her daughter was gone too-.."
[22:53] Fenes Cerberus says, "...Urgh."
[22:54] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: Of course
[22:54] Revan Task whispers to Lilith Allison: This is.. A holy relic of the fireblooded.. Afterall..
[22:54] Lilith Allison whispers to Revan Task: ...Uh huh
[22:54] Arch says, "I've seen some shit in my time."
[22:54] Thalis Avitus says, "Nothin' new fer a Saekanite."
[22:54] Lilith Allison says, "Sis, hole me close"
[22:54] Arch says, "Fuckin' fed up with Esshar's shit at points."
[22:54] Fenes holds Lilith clsoe for sure, petting her head a bit.
(Fenes Cerberus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:54] Miranu shoves her hands in her pocket and begins walking off. She was silent over all beginning to drown out the world around her.
(Miranu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:54] Thalis Avitus says, "Ain't blame y' entirely."
[22:54] Arch says, "But SOMEHOW! I'm back.."
[22:54] Arch asks, "Boy! How'd you get on my roof?"
[22:54] Arch says, "-- When did I throw chairs up there.."
[22:55] Lilith would grab a hold of Miranu's hand before she left, looking at her like she wanted her to stay
(Lilith Allison)
[22:55] Revan would gulp, looking towards his fiancée as he held the horned helm, peering deep into the Helm of The First flame. The inside was blackened, and it smelled of sweat, blood, and soot.

His father had worn is for years now, and it was evident he didn't clean it from the previous owner- who still had their own remnants that stained the interior.

After a few short whispers, some debate, and plenty of conflicting looks, Revan would nod. In place of an arming cap, he would use his extra bandages to wrap his head- something to provide a barrier between him and the cursed insides.

Fwoomp.

The horns pulled over his head, the Task would turn to his father, finally completing his ultimate Dun Task cosplaying. Now was the time to terrorize the square.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:56] Lilith Allison says, "I need to... Drink... Something..."
[22:56] Revan Task says, "... I feel... Powerful."
[22:56] Lilith Allison says, "Anything..."
[22:56] Fenes Cerberus says, "..."
[22:56] Dun Task says, "That is not just the good look."
[22:56] Dun Task says, "It is heavily enchanted."
[22:56] Revan offers Lilly Vodka.
(Revan Task)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:56] Dun Task says, "Beyond a common artifice."
[22:57] Dun Task says, "Arcanium make."
[22:57] Lilith does not want to take vodka from Revan.
(Lilith Allison)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] Fenes Cerberus says, "Hey Arch, bring some Sake.. a lot of it.... Put it on Yevon's tab..."
[22:57] Arch offers Lilly Torchlight.
(Arch)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] Revan Task says, "Don't give me that look"
[22:57] Revan Task says, "It came from your chest."
[22:57] Dun Task asks, "What, a bit of corpse stench and soot frighten you?"
[22:57] Arch says, "Yevon's tab is gettin' awfully maddenin'.."
[22:57] Dun Task says, "This is Theria. He will always smell like that as a Fireblooded."
[22:57] Miranu says, "We'll grab something from the bar."
[22:58] Arch asks, "Dun. Ain't that flakes o' Kriemhild in that helm?"
[22:58] Revan Task says, "I wish to gore people now/"
[22:58] Lilith Allison says, "..."
[22:58] Fenes Cerberus says, "..."
[22:58] Revan Task says, "..."
[22:58] Lilith Allison says, "I'm gonna go to the tavern"
