video; un: colette

-- there? I think that's it! Um. I'm Colette! For those that are newer and I haven't met yet. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that have helped me so far!

[Colette by now has had a little more practice at least. Enough that it....is actually properly showing her this time and not a ridiculous number of dogs. She focuses the camera onto her, sitting on her bed at the inn with a notebook at her lap. In it is a picture of a huge tree, and two figures.]

I have only been here a few weeks. So a lot I'm still adjusting to, but. We have such an opportunity here! To share our knowledge and everything. Stories and celebrations and all sorts, from so many different places. I guess the main one I remember from home were about the Goddess Martel and Mithos the Hero.

"Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: ‘You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed.’ The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world."

[She focuses the phone more at the notebook for a moment. Giving everyone a better view of her attempt to recreate the story she recalls so well. So vividly from her classes, from her time at the Church back home.]

I guess, that's why it's so amazing to me, here. Sylvarant was in decline. The crops dying. The people suffering. Here, I figured I can make things grow! Well, and the light? But that's something I guess I wish I'd been able to do to help, back home. I know I did what I could to help, as the Chosen, but still. For all that it's a lot to adjust to, especially with being able to eat, feel and sleep and talk again, and not having my wings, this place really is amazing. Obviously I'm still new with these new abilities. I'm still learning, practicing and figuring them and this place out. But I'm sure I'll get there! I just need to work at it more!

[And she is getting a little sidetracked from her initial intent here. Just a tad. She shakes her head, before tilting it some, a small smile at her lips even as she seems rather curious and excited after raising her hand to one of the little pot plants in the room and just barely noticeably makes the plant grow a tiny bit in demonstration if one really pays attention.]

But what about everyone else? What about the stories from your homes? How are you all adjusting here?

[A whine can be heard, and she glances to the side, murmuring something about feeding her familiar soon, as then an oversized.....white and green dog....? appears in the screen's view and licks at Colette's cheek, causing her to giggle as she reaches to stop the feed.]
luminatus: (Slimes are my favorite vegetable.)

Oh. I have a tree in my world called Yggdrasil. She's the mother of all life...

[He sighs sadly.]

Or...well.

Eh, nevermind!

Did you say you haven't eaten or spoken in a while?
luminatus: (Dying can be hazardous to your health.)

Wait...

Wait, hold on.

Angel?
luminatus: (No matter where you are there you go?)

[personal profile] luminatus 2021-04-05 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds tough.

Is there any way I can help? With the whole ...not being an Angel anymore thing, I mean.

[Not that he's sure how he could.]

I was on a journey too. To save the world. But even with my powers I still had to eat and sleep and whatnot, you know? So uhm... I'm used to it.

[Said sheepishly. Now that he's said it, it sounds silly. Of course humans are used to be humans.]

Yeah, I don't think any of us were expectin' to get dropped in that lake.

It's pretty disorienting, huh?

Even without the sudden loss of powers.
luminatus: (I wanna make a couple mistakes)

[personal profile] luminatus 2021-04-13 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Right!

[A long pause.]

...Have you figured out much? 'Cause I haven't.

I remember folks tryin' to explain things when I got here but... I wasn't really listening much.

[He hadn't been in much of a state to listen. Those first few days are just a blur of numb shock.]
luminatus: (So here's my un-enlightened take:)

[personal profile] luminatus 2021-04-21 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...You learned about things back home? How'd ya do that?

[Rustling.]

Is there some kinda spell for that?

[It doesn't immediately occur to him that she might have friends from home here. His mind leaps towards strange magic.]
