Still doing well

There's been no conflicts since the split of Zee'il and Steppe

No hunger. No illness.

Good. They deserve the best.

Library is coming along just fine.

[ciwamar]

"I cannot thank you enough-"

Her breathing is calming down, even though there are still some tears rolling down her cheeks. She looks up at them like that, wode, wet eyes, and the softest little frown.

"I promise you I didn't want this to happen- I swear I love you."

(ciwamar) there's a soft... Almost hesistant message. "I need a hug."

"Oh dear. Come on over then, love."

Do they need to talk Melodine into breaking someone?

[ciwamar]

"Thank you- thank you-"

God, there's the all-consuming shame. She's theirs- why couldn't she fight them off? It's her body- she's powerful- why did she let this happen? Another one, another one-

"Please- I do not want to go back- can I- may I stay for a while?"

(ciwamar) there's a soft... Almost hesistant message. "I need a hug."

"Oh dear. Come on over then, love."

Safety- warmth- safety-

"A- Acies. I didn't- they-"

Diantha clings onto them, burrying her face into their chest as she softly starts weeping. She's finally feeling safe enough to do so.

"I didn't w-ant to- I swear-"

(ciwamar) there's a soft... Almost hesistant message. "I need a hug."

"Oh dear. Come on over then, love."

A fraction of time- then she's there. Hair tousled, tearstains on her cheeks. Trembling limbs, trembling lower lip.

Then she opens her arms, quietly asking for a hug.

"I did not give permission-"

"Do you think I care?"

"This is your last warning, Acies. Leave."

[ciwamar]

But it's been several months since you gave birth.

"I told you, I am not interested in getting another child!"

It's not about interest, it's your duty!

"I don't care. I don't want another child with you."

And here I was, thinking I'd managed to tame you.

Acies has requested access to Bloem

> Denied

"Fuck off, Acies!"

Such foul language for such a pretty Being.

[ciwamar]

Is it odd for Highers to be in a relationship? ?

"I... I think Elate and Neo are together. And Omnis and I, of course. But that's four out of over a hundred, so I'd say it is quite rare. We're not supposed to care or love."

[ciwamar]

Touch starved-

For a brief moment she uses her powers to look for the meaning behind those words. Ah, the perks of being a Higher Being.

Once found, she gently places her hands on their upper arms and starts gently rubbing circles into their skin.

"Are you busy? I... I wouldn't mind having a cuddle day?"

(ciwamar) And just like that she blinks into Ordinis, wraps her arms around their torso from behind, and presses a soft kiss to one of their shoulderblades. "You're beautiful."

At this point they’re so touch starved that someone could hug them and they might just start crying immediately. So, thus, being kissed directly on the still bare shoulder blades earns a muffled gasp from them, and a small shudder.

“Oh, hi.”

@ciwamar

[ciwamar]

Hm. She’s not sure if that shudder is a good sign...

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to surprise you. Are you alright, Omnis?”

She peeks over their shoulder with big, worried eyes.

(ciwamar) And just like that she blinks into Ordinis, wraps her arms around their torso from behind, and presses a soft kiss to one of their shoulderblades. "You're beautiful."

"Hmph. I think they look beautiful like that."

Jealous? Jealous.

The civilisations on Ephra are rapidly growing. There are two main sapient species, Ephions and Adra. Ephions are three feet tall on average, with round faces, round bodies, small limbs, round eyes, small noses and small, red-lipped mouths. They love humor and music, and making one smile causes happiness hormones to be released in your brain. Skin colours vary the same way humans' do, eye colours are often gold or bronze, haircolours are varying shades of red and brown, with an occasional blonde.

Adra are a lot taller, six feet on average. They tend to have longer faces with prominent cheekbones, usually hooded eyes and fuller lips. Their legs are especially long. Skin colours vary like humans', eyes are usually some shade of green or blue, haircolours are varying shades of blue. Adra tend to be stronger and more serious than Ephions, but would never dare to lay a finger on them because of the positive feelings Ephions cause. The two live together in harmony, spread over the back of Ephra.

Adions, the result of an Ephion and an Adri getting a child together, are not uncommon. They're five feet on average, but their traits are extremely diverse because of the sheer variety between the two species. Every Adion is truly unique. Some decide to live with Ephions, others live with Arda, and others even decided to start their own cities.

Phew, that should be all for now. Channah finally leans back in her chair to relax, looking over the world they created.

[ciwamar]

Picrew!

[ciwamar]

"I'm glad!"

Finally, something they've managed to figure out! It's taking them a while to get used to everything.

"My name is Channah, I recently came online. A Higher Being named Diantha has helped me a lot, and they told me about a... What did they call it? Ah! A emotional defect, and that you have one, too. They told me that you know more about it, and they recommended meeting you!"

Yes, they're rambling. Again.

(Ciwamar) There's a message in an... Unfamiliar voice. "Hello, am I in contact with Ordinis?" Ah, Channah.

Dear all, can they get a minute of peace-

"Yes. You're talking to Omnis. Who am I in contact with?"

They probably found them in the public channels. They're in there when they think others might be paying attention to it.

@ciwamar

[ciwamar]

"You know, I was really scared of meeting other Highers."

"Were you?"

"Yes, I just- I think I felt like something was off?"

"Tell me, how do you feel right now?"

"Feel? I'm... I'm relieved, excited, and quite happy, I think."

"I thought so."

"Hm?"

"We're a lot alike, Channah. We both have what the others call an "emotional defect"."

"What does that mean?"

"Hm... The others don't feel as many emotions as we do. They don't care, as much as we do. And that's what's normal for Highers. We're different, which is why they call us defective."

"O-oh."

"But don't pay them mind. You're perfect the way you are. It took me a while to learn to accept myself, but Omnis managed to- Oh! You should definetly meet them sometime!"

"Who, Omnis?"

"Yes! They're the absolute sweetest, they have an emotional defect as well!"

"Oh, I'll keep them in mind then. Thank you for your advice and help, Diantha."

"It's been a pleasure. If you ever need help, or just company, again, let me know!"

[ciwamar]

Hm, that's weird.

The moment Diantha blinks into Ascaelum, she feels like something is moving. And not in the way Earth or Belain are-

She looks around, and spots a figure near what seems to be a clif.

"It's so nice to meet you, Channah."

Channah turns around. Their hair is short, it barely reaches their pointy chin. Thin eyebrows, and the most doe-shaped eyes Diantha has ever encountered.

"Ah, that must mean you're Diantha! Welcome to Hycarik, on the planet Nydared!"

That's- they have emotions, just like she does, don't they-?

Diantha walks up to them and extends a hand to shake, which they do. Both of them turn back to look at the edge of- wait-

"We're moving?"

"Ah, yes. Hycarik is part of Ephra, together with Sanilé and Isilli. Ephra is the creature we are currently standing on, the first form of life I've created- ah, sorry! I'm rambling- I'm just so excited to meet another Higher Being!"

Diantha quickly waves the apology off, her smile never faltering.

"I don't mind, you have created something fascinating! So it's not actual land we're standing on?"

Channah's eyes light up; "Indeed! This is Ephra's back, there's a layer of moist and chemicals which allow life to grow- I think. I haven't quite figured out how it works yet."

"That's amazing, Channah! Now, what's it you want me to help with?"
