#;winter wraith

[thegatesofinfinitespace]

How strange, this small dragon, alike yet so unlike the Goddess he'd grown to befriend. The air around him is frigid, as if his presence alone calls the snow. He leans, crimson tipped claws reaching out to inspect. "Tell me, дракончикa, where do you come from?" -- @everlastiingiimmortals  answered: Cold. That's the first word that enters Yingyue's mind. In the span of a single breath, it seems that time slows, condenses to the instance of a single breath, the world growing dark around her. White flecks dance before her eyes; is it the stars she's familiar with, or snow? Clouds leave her lungs in little billows, leaving her shivering involuntarily. For a moment, she is sure something is wrong. The Luofu never goes dark -- what happened to the artificial sky? The Luofu never grows cold. This coldness is unfamiliar and frightening, vague hints of memories too blurry and too ephemeral drifting around the corners of her mind, whispers of a chilling grief that escape swiftly from her grasp. Then she turns and her breath catches in her throat. A being -- taller than her, much much taller than even the general -- looms out from the darkness, seemingly materializing from the sudden eddies around her. The rattling of crystals with every step they take reverberates in her heart, and seeing the tall antlers sprout from their head sends a spike of apprehension through her heart. The Plagues Author? But no; the Abundance is an entity of sunshine and wheat, warmth and sweet smelling blooms, not darkness and snow, cold and frost. The more she watches, the more the entity's form grows clear. They are magnificent. Their hunched torso becomes digitigrade legs covered in sleek, white fur that end in cloven hooves. A mane of white hair, ending in tips of crimson like a splash of blood against snow, frame a sharp (but not unkind, she thinks) face with long, pointed ears like hers and red, red eyes. It is not the red of mara. Yingyue remains rooted to the spot, heart beating in her chest like the fluttering wings of a tiny bird. And then they -- he -- reaches crimson claws out to her, and speaks. The sound of his voice both rumbles from his throat and within her own head, a gasp escaping from her mouth. There is no questioning the presence of the God before her. She doesn't understand the word he uses to address her, but it is gentle. She hesitates, looking between his expectant claws and his face before cautiously accepting his hand. "F-from her--" she cuts herself off with a shy clearing of her throat, looking at their surroundings once more. The familiar scenery of the Luofu is no longer in sight. No — it was clear from the moment the God's chill rolled in that she was no longer home. Strangely, the thought doesn't terrify her as much as she thought it would. "T-this humble servant is a Scion of Long, Exalted One," she offers softly, eyes lowered respectfully. "O-only one of many... hailing from the Xianzhou Luofu, a s-space-faring ship that roams the galaxies."

It is as she cautiously places a tiny hand within his own, that the Winter realizes it. She... truly is small. Fragile in the way the Goddess he'd befriended was not, so easily breakable in the claws of one such as himself.

She is Mortal. In the barest of sense, she may not age and she may live for an extended period of time, but she was still within the reaches of Death.

Time is frozen here. This cold, this ice, it is his domain. The frost fogs at the feet, gathers in waves and clouds. Snowflakes fall silently, gathering in clumps on the ground. It is dark, the edge of midnight, the dangers of the night at its darkest point.

Her shoulders shudder here, at the edge of his domain. It is cold-- just like the tips of his fingers that she now held onto-- she would not last, just like any other living creature. Why is she here? Perhaps the strings that connected them, perhaps she'd discovered something that did not belong to her-- but it is unmistakable who she resembles.

Scion of... Crimson eyes look past to the border of his domain, to where she once came from. It was only an after image, the tempting of the creatures he'd kept from overrunning his Domain, but the deity can sense the Stars herself-- the realm of Death and the Silver one. And the Void. It blends with the souls lost here. Perhaps that was how...

"You will come with me." Rare that Morozko allowed anyone but his Court and his Bride to walk in tandem with himself, but this was a special case. She will freeze until He takes her. It would be wrong to allow any version of his dear friend to be taken so early. She is not meant to be here.

His touch is light but guiding nonetheless, fully aware of the ice that would seep into her skin if he did any more. "Scion of Long, do your best to ignore the beckons of those in the dark." The temptations of memories just out of reach and promises of warmth and familiar faces. "They are not your loved ones." Hands beckoning and opened doors to home.

"If you wish to return to where you came from, do not let go."

WINTER IS FUCKING SUS! Like you know the type of character that is hungry for knowledge and looked so harmless and nerd and even nice but turned out to be would literally do ANYTHING for more knowledge? Yeah, I have always seen Winter like that.

A photo from Wraith and Qwerty! 🌨️

[thegatesofinfinitespace]

Volt, he’s looking directly at you. Have you noticed, yet?

[propertyofwhitney67]

I am a different anon than the one who did the last cat ask but may I please get the love interests, Winter, Bailey (and ivory wraith if you do then) with PC who has a massive black cat always follow them around? There is the fae creature from Ireland/Scotland (I seen both online) called the Cait-sith/cat sith which is a dog sized black cat with a white patch of fur only on its chest. It acts pretty similarly to the grin reaper, has human intelligence and sometimes plays tricks on humans. PC's cat isn't nearly as big but looks pretty similar and seems to understand human language and is too clever to be your run of the mill cat. Maybe even like helps them escape from places like the underground farm and brothel. Bailey has tried kicking it out but always seems to come back but when Bailey wants to try and do something he can never reach the cat. Probably even gives Bailey a glare every time he tries to come and collect rent, always laying on a peacefully sleeping PC.

Sorry if it's too much or like uninteresting because all the other cat asks

I love this and I'm so sorry it took me so long to get to this <3

Whitney often tries to fuck with it, like a lot. After one particular time, he stops and refuses to talk about it. He respects the cat and gives it distance.

Kylar doesn't like how close you are to the cat. He tries to get rid of the cat in many ways, but it always comes back. It takes a long while but they come to an understanding, they both want to help keep you safe.

Robin is scared of them to be honest. There is just something about the cat that puts him off, but he knows how attached the two of you are and doesn't say anything.

Sydney sees it for what it is, this cat is special....

Alex knows something is off but doesn't question it. When the cat is around Remy's goons don't attack the farm overnight. That a win for him.

Avery knows there's something special about this cat and he wants it but it evades him every time

Eden knows what the cat is. He's heard stories from Winter about the cat sith and knows he should respect the creature.

Bailey says there are no pets allowed and he's pissed that this damn thing keeps coming back. He stops trying after a while, it's obviously never gonna work and it's keeping his best moneymaker safe so fuck it. He still has stare downs with it at night when nobody is around, maybe he tries giving them a treat. Who knows....

Winter sees the resemblance to the cat sith and is very interested. He offers you a few books about it and makes sure to keep treats at the museum for when you come with it. He asks all kinds of questions that you have zero fucking answers for but he's not upset.

IW recognizes the cat when they come for you during the blood moon. They kinda stare each other down before IW backs off. They have a past....

[alorhna]

Found the treasure map and the mysterious Bell it leads to.

Neither Alorhna nor Winter seem to like very much the sound the bell makes however. Which is concerning lol, winter likes all sorts of weird artifacts what’s up with the bell?

I wonder if Ivory has some connection to this bell, or atleast better knowledge of it than winter does. since it’s implied the towns religion is connected to it or perhaps maybe Jordan knows more…🤔

DOL update spoiler warning! ✨

I've been playing the update and have been enjoying it! Lots of fun stuff,,, but God I am so stuck between helping Winter open the archeologist office or deciding not to as to protect the Wraith and their necklace...

I don't trust Quinn for shit, I don't trust anything they intend to do with either the necklace or the wraith's children.. not to mention the Wraith is SO sweet when you haven't taken their necklace that I feel like I can't just betray my favorite ghost like that

But my conundrum comes in when I look at how much I love Winter, the old goof.... He would be so excited to get to find more historical finds and I am so weak for that old man, I wanna see him happy...

But AHHH

These are the true conundrums

[overx]

Redamancy (Dirge, Rock, or Raz)

Redamancy; a love returned in full; an act of loving the one who loves you; the act of loving in return.
