[Open] Begin Anew

Who: G'raha Tia & You
Which: Open Log (possibly closed threads down below?)
Where: Various locations
What: A March catch-all and aetheryte shenanigans.
Warnings: There will be Endwalker spoilers more than likely. I will do my best to mark them accordingly. I need to update this for Endwalker stuff as well, but here is my opt-out post if people would rather not be spoiled about Shadowbringers or Endwalker. Feel free to fill it out to where you are in the game and I will say nothing past that in our thread.


AETHERYTES; (No spoilers beyond location in the video)
[Perhaps you've noticed a few crystal structures strewn about Reverein. If you hadn't, don't feel bad. There are only really three at the moment. One placed nearby the dream swings and the other one placed nearby stores. The last one is located outside of G'raha's home for the sake of experimenting. What are they? What do they do? It doesn't take much to realize that it appears to be made out of crystal. Mayhap from the crystal caves? Or was it something more? Simply touching it won't do anything. It appears to be just for decoration for the time being.

Well, that is until a cat boy with red hair and eyes appeared out of nowhere in a flash. He seemed composed for a time up until he collapsed to the ground, catching his fall with his hands. His breathing seemed slightly labored as he tried to compose himself.]


No... No luck this time either. Mayhap it best to further-- [Gods forfend. He did not miss aetheric sickness. Letting out a small groan before continuing his thought.] To further attune the coordinates... Mayhap adjust the amount of dreamotion as well...

[Oh. Were you standing right there this entire time? Don't mind him thinking out loud. He finally noticed he wasn't alone there. Pushing himself off of the ground, he gave an apologetic smile to his companion.]

My apologies. I did not mean to disturb the peace.


WHERE'S YOUR GREEN?;
[Having recovered from his aerthical sickness (mostly), G'raha has been otherwise occupied recently. The leprechauns weren't exactly weird-looking to him. After all, Lalafell were normally short like this. No. It wasn't the appearance that worried him. It was seeing so many unlucky people around that put him on edge. Meanwhile, there were those who seemed to have nothing short of amazing luck. Whatever the case, he had been on his guard as of late.

It all started little. Shoelaces untied that made him lose his balance, having a bag of flour explode open while at the market, flying produce? Annoying at best, but nothing he couldn't handle. And then his home turned green. Everything was green. Standing outside of his home...]


... Seriously? Did I upset someone?

[Can he clean this mess up or is it just there for an unknown amount of time? It was hard to say with how dreamotion worked here. Glancing down to the leprechaun with the yellow cap, he didn't like the look they were giving him.]

Is this some sort of message?


THOSE HALCYON DAYS;
[Having retrieved his lost job stones, it was a relief to have access to the rest of his magic. One he had been surprised to see was his Bard stone. It had been quite a while since he last touched a bow and arrow, much less a harp. There was a part of him that wondered if he could still perform properly anymore. So somewhere out in a far enough place out of the way of heavy foot traffic, people might hear what sounds like music in the distance. Not complete to say the least, but attempts to create it nonetheless.

If they chose to investigate where it was coming from, G'raha can be found somewhere outside, sitting by a tree. By now, he's managed to pick up on his innate skill he had thought once lost. Enough to be able to do a passable rendition of a song. No vocals while he's just trying to get the hang of playing once more. Anyone is free to stop by to listen.

He might even notice he's not alone and sheepishly smile to his company.]


WILDCARD;
[OOC: Hit my up for any other prompt ideas if nothing catches your fancy. If you want anything specific with G'raha, I'm more than happy to do a closed prompt as well. Feel free to poke me on plurk ([plurk.com profile] byefelicia).]

(Of course, explore enough and you're bound to find all sorts of surprises. These crystals seem strange to Tsurumaru in the sense that he's only seen one so far and it looks like it stands out to him. Which means he has to get a closer look.

He circles around it a couple of times, holding a hand over and under it to see if does anything. No? Hm. Convinced that nothing will happen at all, he places his hand on it. Nothing again.
)

Should I make a wish...? (Because this is clearly a normal observation.) Ah, where do I begin...

(AND THEN SUDDENLY A CAT BOY APPEARS FROM THIN AIR IN A FLASH OF LIGHT WOW)

Wah!

(Tsurumaru pulls his hand away and jumps back?! He looks???? Surprised???)

A surprise!?

(Wait... did the spontaneous cat boy say something?)

(He looks at G'raha! Then the crystal.

He touches the crystal! Then reaches out to touch G'raha with his other hand.

And just pats them both at the same time.

Pat, pat, pat.

He might have been surprised a second ago but now? Perfectly calmly,
)

I'm fine.

(He's stopped patting the crystal and G'raha now but he sure is still touching both.)

(Don't question it.

Eventually, he does take his hands back so he can clap.
)

How exciting! I was really surprised.

(And now he's just... circling around him? He's looking up and down. Tsurumaru is weird sometimes, it's fine.)

What happened? Were you summoned? Or sent away? (It reminds him of very much of how other touken danshi appear when the saniwa summons them or how the saniwa sends them through the timeline for them to manifest in a new place.) Ah, but look at you.

(And he's reaching out again to pat him on the cheek!!)

Are you well? (Is he sick? He looks like he could use some water or something.) Come, come, sit down.

So everyone can do it!

(Oh, how exciting. He looks genuinely excited at the idea of being able to do whatever it was he just did. He doesn't even understand it! But he just imagines something like being summoned and sent away. Which... well, it honestly isn't that impressive if he puts it that way but this is different! Therefore, it's more fun.

He notes the flinch but doesn't seem to react much to it. Hm, be careful with the face, he thinks. He'll remember it for the future.
)

You need food? (How easy, how simple. Immediately, he reaches to grab his hand,) Then let's find something to eat.

We'll have you better soon.
