Śvitańnie & Dom (The Dawn & Home) - Dzivia 

[lcstkey]

While in Gridania, Artemis found a broken whittling knife someone in the Carpenter's Guild had discarded and repaired the tool herself. After that, she's been swiping the scraps from the Carpenter's guild and crafting little miniatures of creatures such as moogles and nutkins. She discreetly left them around Gridania for someone to find.

The Aetheryte Plaza, the Shaded Brower, and the Ebony and Rosewood Stalls were the common hiding places where people discovered them.

Drove Beatin crazy once he realized this mystery crafter was stealing their leftovers, creating and hiding these little guys for others to find, and wished to figure out their identity. The guildmaster only began to suspect Artemis after her supposed "death" at the North Shroud, since no more miniature figures were appearing thereafter.

While Selena trained as a Reaper, she formally picked up weaving and goldsmithing, if only to feel closer to home.

Her mother had crafted the moonstone pendant that the keybearer sold after first arriving in Ul'dah, and often watched her make such accessories. So she had thought learning and picking up the jewelrysmith trade might bring her closer to her mother.

Weaving was a common trade back on her Star. Instead of using wool and other common fibers, the villagers found a way to transform gems and stone into thread and cloth.

Unfortunately, the trade secrets died with them, and Selena never got the chance to learn them before the Star fell to darkness.

i don't like close calls.

had you just warned me ahead of time, i would have handled that a bit better.

how did they miss us?

i like your hiding spot.

we'd best be moving on then.

it's over. we can keep going.

we can't risk that happening again.

Selena is allergic to ceruleum in its raw form, but doesn't know the term for it. She is aware that the fumes make her feel weird/unwell. She has yet to speak to anyone about it and often hides it.

It doesn't affect her when it is crystallized or otherwise solidified.

However, the keybearer has previously reacted to it [sneezing, teary eyes, difficulty breathing, itchiness, and on rare occasions, hives...] whenever she passed through Camp Bluefog and the Ceruleum Processing Plant in Northern Thanalan due to its tainted haze and the fumes. She does her best to go around it whenever possible or travel swiftly to minimize the risk.

She will have trouble with the monsters that have included the substance in their diet.

there’s a quiet bark of an entity that sure sounds like a dog, but when selena looks towards it, the colorful lion that stares back at her with joy and happiness in its gaze is a strange sight. even for a dreameater. and then she hears it, “Phi! Stop running off! I’m so sorry— he’s very friendly and likes to meet people.”

@mcmoriart | Unprompted

This place feels like the Twelveswood and the forest by the village...

Selena felt she had been walking through these woods in circles, and there was no way for her to know how much time had passed. She lifted her right hand and frowned.

This isn't right...

Her head hurt, pounding. The images of a familiar Elezen Wood Wailer embracing his dark transformation flash in her mind. The roar of thunder and lightning above, and the howls of the wind surrounding her.

Her right arm and stomach felt a sharp pain, as if she had been kicked and stomped on, and something was piercing the back of her shoulder. She grimaced, gritting her teeth while letting the phantom sensations pass and enabling the arm to fall limp to her side.

Hearing a bark approaching from behind, the keybearer stepped back and pivoted to face the lion.

She flicked her wrist to summon the Heartsickness keyblade to her hand. Selena stared at the weapons' undamaged and whole appearance before returning her attention to the creature in question.

The rainbow-colored lion seemed...happy? Selena tilted her head to one side, unsure what to make of the creature until the young woman appeared.

"It's...fine, I suppose?" The keybearer answered slowly, feeling more perplexed, "I take it that this one is your familiar?"

[lcstkey]

Send 🎧 or [headphones] for me to give you a song that makes me think of YOUR muse.

Specify which muse if multimuse!

[lcstkey]

Send me hc + a word of your choosing and I’ll write a headcanon relating to that word!

Or send hc + two words and I’ll try and come up with one that links those two things together!

[lcstkey]

Selena held the Heartsickness up and carefully watched him, gauging his reaction. The pause before he stepped forward. His surprise had reached his eyes, but he continued to describe his friend's weapon. She can picture it in her mind.

The design sounds so simple. I should be able to recognize it should I see it. It doesn't sound so different from a regular key.

"Wielder." Gazing at the weapon, she deadpanned, "There aren't any other keyblade wielders on this Star. It's just me." Selena sounded certain.

"Though I could say the same of you. I didn't know there were any others... Thought I was the only one." Feeling her arm beginning to ache, she lowered the Heartsickness keyblade, "That our paths should cross might be no less described than a miracle..."

One thing that Riku had learned over the years was that there were always more keyblade wielders than anyone thought. There was only one, and then only two, and then it was just only a small number for certain special people - and now he was fairly certain that anyone could actually wield one, just as long as they believed they could.

So-- maybe it was a little more complicated than just that, but it wasn't some special weapon that only a few chosen few had. They really were everywhere-

And yet he still was surprised when the young woman in front of him simply summoned her own in response to his description of the weapon.

"Ah-- A little bit." He took a moment to try to school his expression to keep the surprise from seeping out before taking a step forward to examine it just a little closer. It was definitely a keyblade, but not one he had ever seen before.

"His is a lot less ornate. More like a silver cylinder, with crown-shaped teeth at the end." As he spoke, Riku gestured along with the weapon she had, pointing out each area he was referring to. Sora's keyblade really was painfully simple, but it also seemed to be the original one - or the basis of all keyblades? Or... really, it was confusing, and it was better if he just didn't think about it.

"I... I didn't know that keyblade wielders were on this world too."

[lcstkey]

Over the years, Selena has found and pawned gummi blocks and components to Emerald the moogle merchant. She never had any need of a gummi ship because she utilized the Corridors of Darkness to travel from world to world.

After her Star perished, Selena found that she could no longer afford to utilize them efficiently due to her injuries and stamina loss.

When Emerald gifted the keybearer her own ship, Selena knew and is aware of Emerald's motive to have her help out with her deliveries on occasion. She doesn't mind it and has no complaints about the occasional favors.

The keybearer had been surprised to learn that she had found enough to upgrade the moogle merchant's ship and construct a second one. The vessel's design is small and simple, painted in pale grey and lavender. It is much roomier on the inside. The ship had been constructed like a small apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom for Selena to live in.

Emi originally planned it as a gift for her next birthday.

However, there is a second motive that the keybearer failed to consider. By utilizing those favors, Emerald can check in on Sel to make sure she's okay.

She wants to keep an eye on her. The moogle merchant watched her grow up after the first time her world fell to darkness. Emi is worried about Selena's well-being.

[lcstkey]

"Heh."

The keybearer knew that Moby wasn't wrong. Selena knew that the shapeshifter had been traveling for a long time, much longer than she had. She managed a small smile.

"Mmm, maybe." She remarked, "We can grab some dinner and catch up first. Or should we call it a 'midnight snack' now if it's that late here and go raid a convenience store?"

"don't i?" tracking time world to world was always a tricky business. it was for that very reason her mother had lost over ten years of her son's life when she left him with a friend. she never realized when she returned she would face a growing teenager instead of a giggling toddler. as if that wasn't enough, time also varied planet to planet. moby's seen broad daylight last up to thirty six hours. if selena came from anything like that, no wonder she was exhausted. "let's check into a room. i'll rub that kink out of your shoulder and then you can rest."

The hooded keybearer spares a glance and a shrug to acknowledge the stranger, but otherwise ignores him to look the other way.

Despite the night sky above, this city shone bright with the lights from the street lamps and the surrounding buildings. Their ambience is reflected on the asphalt and the puddles from the previous night's rain.

When the pedestrian crosswalk sign turns on, she shoves her hands into her sweater pocket and silently continues her way.

"Hm?" The keybearer pivots to face the shapeshifter, holding a double scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream cone in one hand and her face a bit of a mess. She hadn't realized that she had been contentedly humming and shrugged, holding up the ice cream as if trying to say, 'Who wouldn't?'

[lcstkey]

Huh... Furrowing her brows, Selena grew quiet as the other explained. So his charge is an amnesiac. Perhaps it would have been too soon for them to choose to decide if they wanted to wield a keyblade.

"...Is having an Affinity for Darkness really so terrible?" She asks, tilting her head with a frown, and thinks back to her powers of darkness. Mine helped me survive for so long. But maybe not everyone will feel that way.

"Not sure. They don't even know if they want to find their Keyblade of the Heart yet. They barely remembered their own name not too long ago..." though even that was testy ; they more CHOSE a name than remembered their own. "Maybe I can run them through an affinity exam, see if they pick up anything naturally. I worry if they're going to end up like me, with an Affinity for Darkness."

[lcstkey]

Selena remained quiet and furrowed her brows as she thought about the Dragoon's inquiry before answering with a silent shake. Mrr. Tataru has always been kind to me, if not a bit uhm...what's the word...?

Hearing the mention of Krile, the keybearer loses her train of thought with a weak laugh, then mumbles. "Pff. I'm sure Krile means well...Most of the time..."

He could feel the blood speeding into the cracks of his armor. This wasn't good. Estinien had to find a healer and soon but moving any quicker than this was bound to open up her wound further. Did he have anything to stitch on him? He did, but stitching someone out in the middle of the damn desert would just cause her to go into shock.

The best he could do was to keep talking to her to keep her conscious. The Reach was within sight.

"I do. Have you never heard the expression 'the shorter they are the closer to the seven hells they are'?" Estinien asked the other, "It applies to the other short one-- Krile-- too."
