Fourth: Myths and Legends, backdated to Valentine's Evening (Video; un: Caster)

[colchismagecraft]

[There were advantages and disadvantages to using the money she'd gotten from carrying out Morgana's suspicious request in order to find a larger place to stay. On one hand, she had more space to keep her things and it didn't feel so cramped - she might even have room for a potion-brewing workshop at some point. On the other hand, yes, she had more space to herself, but it was Valentine's Day.

And she was here by herself, without the one person she wanted to spend it with.

After spending a week or so chasing around a man from her world who was responsible for her demise.

Desperate for something to take her mind off all of it, she took to the network to try and find a distraction.

Caster can be seen sitting in a darkened room, face and body mostly hidden by the shadows of her cloak. You know, because that totally didn't look ominous.]

For those who haven't met me yet- I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

As the people who've been brought here are from many different worlds, I can't help but be a little curious. Tell me, what myths and legends are the most well known, where you're from? What about those you personally find the most interesting?

I'd say that the Greek Myths are my personal area of interest, but... picking a favourite would be difficult.

[A hint to who she was, perhaps, but it wasn't as if she'd actually told many people she was a heroic spirit from myth - so it should be a safe comment.]

Either way, feel free to share. I'm curious to know who's myths overlap with the ones I know, as well as learn a little about other people's worlds.

[There was a short pause, before a dark smirk comes into her face. She may have been just a little bitter about the whole cupid arrow nonsense.]

...Ah, and Archer? If you're watching this, I will make you regret humiliating me with those arrows of yours-!

in my world each country has its own legends and gods so i suppose it is similar in that sense

all myths and legends have truth to them so i would assume it was real
but it is hard to say with how much they warp and change over time

no i don't think it can be sated
i can think of people who deserve such a fate

[sulit]

Which people? Ones you know?

Would you kill a person every month if you thought they deserved it? Would that be satisfying for you?

[colchismagecraft]

someone i knew

if i could kill him every single month and watch him suffer in the process

then yes

[She paused, then, before she finally added: ]

i suppose even someone like me would get tired eventually

[sulit]

Well, that's reassuring. I would be more worried if you didn't get tired of it eventually.

What did he do to make you that angry? It must have been something horrible.

[colchismagecraft]

he promised himself to me

and then broke that promise by going with another

after i did everything in my power to help him achieve his goals

[That was...the abridged version. But even though it sounded like this person came from a world where her myth didn't exist, she didn't want to leave anything too revealing out in the open.]

[sulit]

Ah.

[Oh no. She shouldn't have hit enter yet. Now she has to say something else. What else does she say to that? There's a delay as she types a few messages and then deletes them. Finally, another comes through:]

Was that like... a love thing? Or...

"Promise himself" can mean a lot of things.

[colchismagecraft]

yes
he was to be my husband

but he got what he deserved

[She noticed that gap...maybe bringing this up was a mistake.]

it is surprising how many stories involve vengeance

[sulit]

Well.

Look on the bright side: You're probably better off without him?

[That's... That's encouraging, right?]

You would think there would be less stories about revenge. Or less of that kind, at least. There's always stories about how people murder the ones that hurt them, but what about the ones where they just stop caring? That sounds like better revenge to me.

That's what I don't understand. Murdering someone over and over... You stay angry. You don't get better. You don't get to do anything but think about them, and doesn't that just make it worse? It would be better to make them cease existing. Make them the smallest insignificant speck of dust in your life, and then snuff it out. Make them weak. Make them powerless. Don't give them a single foothold in your thoughts. Live in a world completely without them, so when they see you, they know that they are nothing.

That's power. I want more revenge stories like that.

[colchismagecraft]

true
good riddance to the man

[Somewhat!

Still, she read over the message over and over, mulling over it in her mind.

Forgetting him, making him nothing to her...was that really possible? Their legends were so intimately intertwined, that most would associate one with the other. But even if that weren't true, could she really just let go?]

is that possible when your stories are so connected? when one has taken everything from you?

or

when that thought that another could easily do the same constantly rear its ugly face?</font

[sulit]

Well, that just sounds silly. You're here, aren't you? The only thing you need to write a new story is you.

And if someone else comes along to ruin this story, you know what that looks like now. Take that, and show them what happened to the last guy. Make it personal, if you have to. They won't forget it.

[colchismagecraft]

yes here until such a time as we can save our worlds

whatever that means

but
yes you have a point

i suppose thats one advantage to people knowing my legend

they know exactly what i ca n do to spite those who wrong me

att least the person i waswith before i came to abalon was kind to me

[She missed him terribly. But perhaps that much was obvious from how her already poor typing suddenly seemed to get worse.

There was a pause, before she added another message: ]

i appreciate the advice all the same

i don't believe i saw your name?

[sulit]

You can call me Klaudia.

I'm new here, but if you ever need someone to help hide a body, I'm available. Just saying.

[colchismagecraft]

a pleasure klaudia

well that is useful to keep in mind

assuming i don't want to display it to make a point

[Hopefully she was joking...hopefully.]

[sulit]

A pleasure yourself~

I could manage a display case, too. Maybe in a dark rosewood.

[This is how you joke, right? Joking achieved?]

[colchismagecraft]

that would be perfect

[Yup! Totally how this works!]

[sulit]

Noted! I will have your order on hand when you need it, then~

Who knows, maybe if you give me enough work, I can start a proper business.

~*~*~Klaudia's Murder Boxes! When you need a box for the murder you did!~*~*~

I might need to workshop a better name.

[colchismagecraft]

well we will see how many people here manage to incur my wrath won't we?

in the meantime we can think of a good name for the murder boxes

[sulit]

Perfect~

Anyone on that list yet? Professional curiosity, of course.

[colchismagecraft]

now that you mention it

there is the fool who decided to target me with those wretched cupid arrows earlier in the month

[sulit]

Oh? That Archer person you mentioned?

Hmm. Wreck them~ ♥

[colchismagecraft]

yes him

make sure you have a box ready

[A pause as she squinted at her phone. She didn't know you could make symbols like that!]

how did you make that heart appear?

[sulit]

Approximate dimensions and location for delivery? I can carve a nice arrow motif on the sides. For his hubris~

[She'll do it. Just watch. She has nothing else to do.]

Oh, the symbols are easy! ★★★ You can hold down the buttons for extra options. There's also these things when you hit the smiling face picture: 🤗🐦🧐🐬🎆💖

1/2

[colchismagecraft]

he's at least a foot taller than i am and yes the arrow motif is perfect

[Give her a moment...]

234

&£

[No not quite...]

2/2

[colchismagecraft]

🙃

[There's one! She likes this.]

🔥🔥🏹🔥🔥💀🗡️🗡️🔥🔥

[Perfect!

[sulit]

That would be a very helpful measurement if I knew how tall you were as well~

🏹☠️☠️☠️✨📦✨🤭🤗

🔥🔥🔥💅😘💖
