In a village hut, they are lying on a vast bed, the sheets in disarray. Siuan is holding Moiraine tight against her chest, fingers tangled in Moiraine’s hair. Neither are looking at the other, lost in thoughts. Across Siuan’s bare shoulder and back geometric tattoos spiral. Moiraine’s naked back bears two faint scars.]

RIVER — AN INTERACTIVE FAIRY TALE

River, a small rabbit who has lost the color of her eyes, is told she can regain what she has lost by meeting with each of the Seven Colors of the Rainbow.

"However, you may only ask a single question of each of them."

Throughout River's story, you as the reader will make choices for her: which direction will she go? Which creatures will she meet and interact with? And what question will she ask of the spirits she meets? Can you help her regain what she has lost?

RIVER is a story to be told primarily through narration with supplemental visuals, hosted on Twitter and then archived right here on Tumblr, for easier reading.

We'll be setting sail December 8, 2023 at 5 PM EST. I hope you'll join us!

I need to make the whole "ic would probably have lightning scars" idea worse by pointing something out actually. So, during raging storms, Rae got hit 8 ish times? I skimmed the vod post momboo but it's about eight - but fun fact about those eight, Rae had time between them to heal. Rae actually never got down past about half heath at all during that conversation (or at least, never below 3 hearts at the most). Icarus, on the other hand, got hit only 4 times. But. *but* said hits were in very very short succession, and got them down to half a heart. So, where Rae's scar isn't the biggest - probably due to the fact he was able to heal and stuff between hits, where ic was only able to heal after - Icarus' possible scar would definitely be bigger than raes and in this essay I will-

Some 340-ish years ago Halsin was just a little guy whose best friend was a forest spirit and who probably had dirt on his face 24/7.

Season 8 was like 6 years ago(I feel old) and I know ppl have differing opinions on the Mr Echo thing (but it was intended, made it to storyboard and blocked animation and then dropped, soooo) but. I can see his recruitment p easily tbh. Bc the whole reason Dr J was in that lighthouse was because he was resurrected, forced there, and ordered to build Skulkin vehicles by Samukai. But Samukai in the flashback we see has already been deposed as leader of the Skulkin/Underworld. Which means the orders to do so most likely came from Garmadon.

And since Mr. E is one of the head honchos, he's likely an early arrival to the team, so I don't think Harumi has a whole lot figured out at this point, she's just got her Trauma and some Bad Influence Friends and an obsession with Lord Garmadon. So. Like. Plausible deniability road trip that she's just visiting important markers of Ninjago's recent past, all of which involve Lord Garmadon in some meaningful way; its sightseeing, its cathartic, and it gives her time to develop her dream Motorcycle Gang/Resurrection Cult. She's not looking for anyone at the Lighthouse, but she is looking for vehicle blueprints so she can be the Koolest leader on the block. But oops she looks in the basement and there's an Echo.

And she's flipping out bc??? A Ninja???? In the Lighthouse basement??? I mean it makes sense that it would be this one but???

Except this rusty old robot has no idea what she's talking about with this Ninja stuff, he's just waiting for his dad to come back.

And Harumi pauses.

Because how long has he been waiting? He's not sure, he had no proper way to measure time in the basement, and he doesn't have the best view of his clockwork heartpiece. But it was after his father saw a strange ship docking; Echo was worried it was the People who had locked up his father in the first place, but instead his dad sounded happy when he saw whoever was out there. It could have been a front, though, as clearly it was never safe to let Echo back out. Then Dr J popped down briefly, while everyone above was resting, to tell Echo he was desperately needed elsewhere, that it wasn't safe to bring Echo, but that he'd be back in no time.

And the pieces are fitting together for Harumi. And she's like. Your dad's dead, bro.

And he's like. What? Did he die doing what was needed of him?

And she's like. Oh, no. He died a few years later.

And he's like. Why didn't he come back for me????

And she's like. Probably because they kept him away.

And he's like. Who's they?

And she's like. The Ninja I was talking about earlier.

And it surely can't be hard in universe to find pictures of Zane and Dr J post s2-pre s3, so she pulls one up and shows Echo who is freaking out bc why is that one kind of like him and Harumi explains that that was the droid his father created first, that he became a Ninja, and that hes probably the one who took their father away and kept echo waiting for years.

But Echo has doubts, shocked as he is abt a new older brother, he wants to believe the good in the situation so he's unsure. But Harumi mentions that the Ninja's failures to uphold more than their self preservation/interests has led to uncountable losses and devastation in Ninjago time and time again, before delving into her own story. And she seems so kind, and so hurt, and I do think there's a genuine connection btwn these two that forms from this shared emotional torment that they decide came from the Ninja, and now Echo is more receptive.

And then Harumi gets to start her Garmadon pitch because wait! If Echo was made here, then that could only have happened because of Lord Garmadon. And she reiterates that he's the reason she and her city could have even survived The Great Devourer. And maybe Echo's family-by-creation left, maybe they were untrustworthy and lacking, but that's OK bc if you look at it all a certain way, Garmadon is more of a father to Echo than Dr J was. And Echo is a vulnerable, overwhelmed mess who just found out his dad fucked off for years without him and also died, and also he has a brother??? Who their dad clearly seems to have favored??? Did they even know about Echo??? Did they delight in their life free of him???

Basically. Kinda Spinel-core but getting abandoned and left completely alone does that to you. Especially when the first person to find you after being abandoned is a deeply hurt and misguided teen who is probably kinda desperate for someone, anyone else to see the Ninja the way she sees them.
