★ The Ministry of Sidereal Witness A powerful magical society in the circle, who preserve divine history and language, protect the land, and have a great deal of influence when it comes to advising political bodies. Their ranks are composed entirely of starbinders and to enter this order is a high honor like no other. The Witnesses, as they call themselves, each have different roles within the society itself, dependent upon which type of magic they’re strongest with. The main headquarters for this organization are located in Edolan, but every nation in the Circle has their own outpost.

The highest members of the Ministry are called Skywatchers and their leader is called the Zenith.

★ The Endless Enclave A somewhat occultist group led by Aeon, who believe that Ombrath is real and that she’s the savior of the underdogs. This group is centered around waiting for the return of Ombrath’s demigod, whom they also are staunch believers in the existence and advent of. The Enclave are supposedly the keepers of the only godly runes of Ombrath known to man, but a lot of people think they’re crazy and don’t take them seriously. Their headquarters is a large compound with a minimalist design and an ancient, gnarled tree in a courtyard at its center. Many committed members live in and around this location, which also includes their largest place of worship. The runes are kept in a crypt below the ground.

The highest leader of the Enclave is called The Seer.

“Cmon, y/n. It’s time to go!” Grayson yelled, pulling you away from the cotton candy machine you were gazing at. 

You and Grayson had went to the summer carnival that happened once a year. It was a tradition between the two of you for over 6 years, the last 2 years being even more special because you two were finally a couple. 

“I don’t wanna go! Look at the cotton candy! It looks so good!” 

Cotton candy was always your favorite part of the carnival. The way it was made and how it tasted was so cool and so good. 

“You already ate 3 bags of the cotton candy, as well as who knows what else. Lets go, y/n.” Grayson said. It had been getting late and you two were already running late to another event you were going to the same night. 

After another 3 minutes of Grayson begging you to leave, you two finally left. Grayson had to buy you another bag of cotton candy before you agreed to leave though.

"You're going to get sick babe." Grayson had been driving home while you were in the passenger seat, over halfway done with the bag.

"I will not! I could eat 10 more bags and still not be sick." You say with a mouthful of it.

You and Grayson were arguing back and forth about it for basically the rest of the 15 minute drive, making it feel like an hour.

You two arrived back at the house and got ready for the event you had to attend.

-

After you had gotten back from the event, you and Grayson slumped onto the couch and turned on a netflix movie.

You could feel the food all coming back up, so you ran into the bathroom as quick as possible.

"I told you you would get sick!" Grayson says, laughing a bit at the subject.

"Shut up, Gray. You love me." You say, sitting back down on the couch and wrapping the fuzzy red blanket you had been using while proceeding to put your head on Grayson's shoulder.

"I know I do, y/n. I love you." Grayson says, kissing your forehead and pushing play on the ps4 controller in order to start the movie back up.

"Gray?" You had asked, looking up at him with groggy eyes

"Yeah?"

"Can you carry me to the bedroom?" You asked, basically asleep on his shoulder

"Of course, I'm getting tired too."

But instead of Grayson picking you up bridal style, like expected, he flipped you over his shoulder and started walking to the bedroom. You dragged the blanket along the floor and just hung there, too lazy to do anything.

"Hey, Gray? You have a nice butt." You say, poking his ass and giggling as your hair dangles down.

"Thanks baby, I try." Grayson says, laughing and flipping you over onto the bed.

"Ah, home sweet home. Goodnight Grayson, I love you." You say, immediately passing out before Grayson can respond.

"I love you too, y/n"

A Relatively Spoiler Free Project E Run Down for @bean-with-a-knife

You asked for this Bean. Now you have to deal with the consequences.

Also, the name is a placeholder until I can find a better name, so if you have any suggestions for what the project as a whole should be called feel free to tell me.

Please note: This is a highly abridged version of events because I cant include everything without A. Massive Spoilers and B. killing my hands.

Project E is an original project I have been working on for around 2 years now. It started as a simple story about a character in an unfamiliar world and morphed into... whatever this is.

The project is divided into three parts: "Times End", "The Second Realm" and "Self-Contained Universe". A fourth part is also being considered thats just full of cut scenes and bonus stuff, but we'll cross that when we come to it.

TIMES END: Times End is the first part in the project. It follows the story of Aviator; an amnesiac creature called a "Luft". Lufts traditionally have magic surrounding air and wind, which is uncommon in the world this takes place in (No name yet). This world is divided into seven continents, and each of them kind of do their own thing.

Aviator remembers jack shit about her life or where she came from, as she had been travelling her whole life. One day, she stumbles upon a place called "Edolan", a conglomeration of different tribes and settlements that ignore each other and pretend the others don't exist.

Aviator is entranced by this new place and immediately gets to exploring. A lot of things happen, from Aviator discovering her new favorite food to pissing off the mafia to solving murder. Oh and a dead human ish character named Puppet follows her around creepily because thats Puppet for ya.

Then a bunch of bad things happen, the world nearly ends, and Aviator gets sealed in a crystal in another plane of existence to stop the end of the world. Because that makes sense. *cough* and Lufts as a collective species are blamed for the whole thing. Because thats logic ig.

THE SECOND REALM: The second realm takes place 100 years later and follows Shedo, Arsene, and Dori-Mei, three rebellious (and very bored) teenagers with absolutely nothing in common other than going to the same school. Shedo is Puppets adopted daughter, Dori is a refugee from another continent, and Arsene is an orphan taken from his home because his parents were deemed unfit to keep him. (Fair enough though, they were bad parents).

They all have very different problems and lives, but they get along well enough. One day, Shedo finds a strange glass crystal ball sort of thing and Arsene breaks it like an idiot, landing them in another dimension. They learn how to traverse the new realm and go back and forth.

Sadly, they arent the only ones exploring this new realm, as a group known as "The Investigators" are hot on their heels trying to track not only the trio down but whatever seems to be at the center of the world.

Anyway, drama ensues and a lot of enemies to lovers tension between Shedo and Rift, the leader of the Investigators, who is a Luft herself. No I promise that not all Lufts are girls, I just wanted her to be an angry lesbian okay.

They make their way to the center of the world thanks to the help of a pair of weirdos who offered their assistance up to them named Tamy and Teaso. Speaking of them... SELF-CONTAINED UNIVERSE: Teaso was a normal... uh, humanoid ant. Sounds weird but its really not. Worked at a library, had a solid life in the underground secret city of Lamplight, and everything was fine. Until his childhood best friend he WATCHED jump to her death shows up as his door drunk at two in the morning.

When he asks what happen, she just drunkenly tells him that she found the answers to Times End, the event that nearly ended the world 100 years ago in a diary written by a Luft. Huh, weird. That sounds a little familiar.

And thus, once Tamy (the aforentioned friend) sobered up, they embark on an epic quest of which Teaso was not a willing participant in.

Everything else is too spoilery sorry but I hope the synopsis of each makes at least a LITTLE sense. Its kind of a mess but oh well. If you made it this far you deserve a cookie. I would love to hear your thoughts on this VERY VERY FUCKING ABRIDGED VERSION OF THIS PROJECT LMAO.

[mamitessa]

Tessa walked towards the house and sighed “Come on, Tess, this is a bad idea, you’re gonna do nothing about aggravate him,” Grayson said trying to stop the woman from making this choice. “I don’t give a fuck, Grayson,” she spat as she opened up the back door and walked into the living room. “You, you love doing this don’t you? messing with my head, you can act like I’m nothing to you because that’s normal for you isn’t it? You have some kinda issue, I didn’t do anything to you but you’re always the victim aren’t you?” she said as Grayson came up behind her and put his hand gently on her throat “That’s enough out of you hmm?” Tessa looked up at Grayson “What the fuck are you even doing, you can’t always stop me,” she said looking from Grayson to Ethan.

Grayson got up off the couch and walked into the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water “Ethan Grant, get your ass in the living room!” he yelled as he walked back into the living room leaning against the fireplace. “According to Kristen we got some talking to do,” he called out again in hopes that his brother would hear him and opened the bottle of water taking a drink from it placing it on the mantle. “Oh, Ethan,” Grayson said walking into the hall looking and then into the kitchen not seeing his brother. “Oh well I tried,” he said sitting back on the couch.

The Dreglund

Fourth competition win

Juni 32nd

At last, a new notebook! Hydrophobic paper is incredibly hard to obtain here, despite the city being so close to the Dreglund and all the rainfall that feeds it. The locals make a cheap pulp paper from the ocean of grasses that surround them. Logical, if unpractical for me. I was growing anxious after I placed my finished travelogue and books in storage, having nothing safe to write on. I will have to limit sketches, lest I run out of space in the wild. Already I feel the strain, not being able to document my stay in Ikurstuk as I wish... Ikurstuk, city of salt! As far East as any Explorator has gone, and mostly unchanged since Damasia and Edolan's visits. Both did a great job at sketching the city, yet it feels like they hardly scratched the surface! I keep my resolve, however, and have taken rooms only for ten days, by the end of which I fully intend to have finished my preparations to cross the Dreglund desert.

Julli 2nd

Almost ready. I'm glad now for all the iddle time on the caravan, with nothing to do but learn Kush. Ikurstukies speak enough Imperial to sale their wares and count their money, but the rest is Ikkurie, a blend of Kush and Arandi. The promise of news from the Empire and the Salt Road opens any door, and people gladly answer my questions (once they're done stuffing me into a coma, that is. Ikkies (as they call themselves), consider that any herald of news should be fed and housed for as long as they desire. Had I known as much sooner, I'd not have taken rooms. I've made good friends with several people (see portrait of Etti and Karluk in annexe), which has helped a lot with my purchases. Better prices, better quality. Mind you Ikurstuk has no tourist traps, having no tourists to fool. Only caravaners come this far East. Etti keeps trying to discourage me of going further. She doesn't understand my interest for the Dreglund. I tried to explain, how uncharted land is the life blood of Explorators, that turning around where others stopped defeats the entire point of my trade. Whatever I say, she doesn't think that meeting the Dalai people is worth facing their homeland and risking my life.

Beliefs/facts on the Dreglund, as Ikkies tell them:

- No water can be drunk in it, not even the one that falls from the sky. - The desert will lose you in it, and only star navigation allows its crossing. - Salt bogs will turn you into a salt-mummy and preserve you so well your soul will remain trapped within. - Akambo bloodsuckers will drain you dry. - Dalai people will kill you if you reach the other side. (This one has many variant, with Dalai killing you on sight, eating you, or keeping you as slave. They have a broad back.)

Even the herders and grass-cutters I've met with, who often venture in the Dreglund for a day trip harvesting blue bladed tuft (annexe 2), have all tried to discourage me. Damasia did report the Ikkies' superstitions around it were strong, but I didn't expect this much resistance.

Julli 4th

Went to say farewell to Bank's caravan. Etti came with me. They were loaded with salt and took my letters and the copies of my travelogue I redacted during our trip together (ah, the endless days swaying under the sun with nothing to see but grasses swaying to a different rythm). It was the last thing I had to take care of. I am done packing, and leaving tomorrow morning at dawn. Etti and a youngster called Meluk braided my hair in a fashion they say will bring me luck.

Julli 5th

Finished setting camp, if you can call "sitting in your fibrococoon" setting camp. Everything is as bleak as was described to me, and as amazing as I expected it to be: the endless shimmer of the water, broken by grasses of colours my pens can do no justice to. The noise of bubbles and insects giving the place a constant hum, besides my splashes–and I seem to be the only creature making splashes here! I've seen no fish of any size, no amphibians either, no salt spires, no Dalai... I'm commiting a lot of what I'm seeing to Long-Memory. No point in wasting paper. I have learned nothing new on this gorgeous, endless plane of poisonous water in which little ekes a living. But so far everything I have read about it turned out to be true, including the water never rising higher than my shins.

Julli 6th - Morning

May not have seen much wildlife, but the wildlife saw me... I believe I met the infamous akambo, which are much bigger than I thought. Red blazing eyes in the night, snorting noises and the liquid sound of limbs accustomed to moving smoothly through water... They didn't get to me, but I understand how Ikkies without an Explorator's fibrococoon would be threatened. Tired from the broken sleep but moving on. Loads of ground to cover again.

Julli 8th

Today I've learnt two things. I guess I can only blame myself for not figuring this out sooner. I woke to find my bag gone. It was over twenty meters away from me, and shredded through. All my water was gone, yet the bag was still pegged against the same tuft of blue grass. So. When the Ikkies say Dregl ik svafar – the desert will lose you – they mean to say the desert moves under your feet. I've looked closer and seen the signs, the rising silt along hair-thin fault-lines. I am standing in an ankle deep ocean coating tremendous plate tectonic. The persistent buzzing sound, I wager, may even come from this permanent shuffle. And when Ikkies say akambo will suck you dry, they don't mean that they're exclusive bloodivores, but that they'll drink any fluid they find, from my water reserves to, eventually, my blood. I'm getting thirsty, but only have my standard water purifier. Using it in the notoriously foul water of the Dreglund could well sign my end.

Julli 11th

Was so thirsty. Burning pain and hallucinia–cination. Water purified was BEST thing ever ever. Until night. So sick. Like water from my bdy needed out, every pore, out out. Doing Akambo work for thm. Shame. I walked, so much. Sick and walk. Scared to it–eat more. It's horribe–ble, the thirst, with water EVERYWHERE, just there, but drink and die? No. Akambo stalking still. Where are the Dalai?

Andi 26th

Dear Enkor

Eloi says that when he found me, I looked like a salt-mummy, with my white Eastern-Empire hair, the shreds of my fibrococoon tangled around me, propped as I was against a salt spire. Yet I was clinging to life, with arms bitten, eyes sunken, and breath foul, smelling of old vomit I hadn't dared to wash away. He says I was clutching my notebook in my comatose sleep, and that he guessed at my profession after wrestling it from me and browsing through it. Though he did not understand the script, he marvelled at my drawings of landscapes, portraits, jewels, hairdos – documenting whole cultures – all the way to my last: a dead akambo, with its neck twisted. The hand there is shaky, the sketch rough. I was dying.

Please hold no hard feelings. Eloi did wake me. He spoke Ikkurie. I did understand his offer, though my addled brain thought he was a Dalai god, more than a Dalai man. Had I come all this way to meet them, to draw their faces, sketch their cultures? Yes, I said, I was looking for you, because no one ever found you before. He says he felt torn, that no matter what he did, he'd kill an aspect of my self. The person or the Explorator. You see, Dalai means "Of the desert". Because once he pressed his slashed wrist to my mouth, I would become Dalai, my entire body changing to adapt and embrace the Dreglund. No water now can nourish me but that which once almost killed me. It hydrates and feeds. In the deep wells, you can breath it. This is where the Dalai cities lay, Enkor: under poisonous waters. No wonder we only heard about these people through rumours! Maybe my presence will change things a little? More trading at the border? Enough for me to hear from you, I hope, and collect the fame of my discoveries! Please find attached all my notes, see them published and send me a crate-load of hydrobooks. You can make my speech at the Assemblies. Tell them I won't drop my mantle: Eloi is lovely, but if he thinks I will stop marvelling, learning and writing because I am trapped in one of the greatest mystery of our age, he has a lot to learn about me!

Warmest regards,

Ilkaria Explorator

Let’s talk about Ethan and madis little fight the other day ? And also all the Dolans fighting

First of all, Ethan’s right, Madison needs to let loose and have some fun, she just turned 21 and she’s acting like a Karen, stop honey. I think it’s fucking dumb, truly, y’all pressed about a couple baby names? you know how many kids have those same exact names around the world? y’all ain’t special, that gold throne that those with the name issues sit on is made out of fools gold, ‘cause ya a bunch of fools. periodt. As for the sibling situation, I feel like Grayson and Ethan have a right to get rid of that toxic friend from their lives because who the fuck has a full ass life with your sister and won’t tell you about it? Bye toxic. You should’ve told them right away, their reaction might not have been so bad. Shame on Connor and Cameron.
