The Lake & The End

[asgardmods]

the lake & the end Farewell, dear Wanderers. It was a pleasure to have you here in Asgard. May your travels bring you many pleasant and wonderful experiences. We wish you a bright future. a magical rainfall june 10th ↴ a magical reprieve On the night of the 10th, Clouds swirl over Asgard as an enchanted rainstorm begins. It rains all through the night and by morning, the rain has pooled into a special lake. This Lake, called Witches Mirror Lake, can be seen all over Asgard at all times of the day. Its distinct glittering lights emanate from the surface of the water and can be seen far into the sky. witches mirror lake june 10th-16th ↴ the lake and its phases Full Lake, 11TH - 12TH → If the Wanderer approaches the lake and sees their reflection when the lake is full, the reflection will slowly change and they will see a brief glimpse of what that wanderer wants most. This glimpse can be seen by anyone in the vicinity of its waters. Once they have been shown the vision, that person will no longer see their reflection and no further visions will be seen. Partial Lake, 13TH - 14TH → As the lake evaporates, it dries into crystal shards that lay bare on the edge of the lake. These shards are anywhere from an inch to a few feet long and resemble shards of glass. Wanderers will want to approach them with some care as they are sharp and it will make approaching the water a significant amount more difficult. (But not impossible.) Think of it as a lake surrounded by large glass shards at its edges. Potent spiritual magic resides in these crystal shards. If a wanderer goes to the lake and picks up one of these shards, they will be given a glimpse of what they fear reflected in all the surrounding shards. Diamond Dust Lake, 15TH - 16TH → The lake dries up, leaving nothing but glittering white dust where the lake once was. This special dust is called "diamond dust". If the Wanderers come close to where the lake was and breathes it in or manages to gather it, they can bear witness to its special properties. If a Wanderers breathes it in and are near a person, it will show a vision about that person. It could be anything that the other person, in particular, wants them to see...or doesn't want them to see. If they are alone, the dust could reveal something hidden in the area around them. If there is nothing hidden in the area, the dust will turn into water and evaporate. If there is something hidden in the area, their vision will turn black and white and the hidden path will be the only thing in their vision that will be in color. the final farewell a little bit of magic ASGARDS END, 30TH → There are no curses this month. After much deliberation, the gods will send each wanderer back to their homeworld. Take this time to play out your final farewell with your CR, or play out the first moments of characters as they return back to their homeworlds. Feel free to include a small trinket of your choice to remind you of your time in Asgard. Thank you for participating in Asgard.

1) The Lake
What, Terezi skip out on visiting strange lakes after strange magical rainfalls? Perish the thought. She could be seen, wandering her way over, though she hadn't quite reached the edge of the lake yet, so if you wanted to catch her, it wasn't going to be that hard.

At the very least she was being careful of any shards of glass running around.

2) The Festivities & Farewells
The Troll had spoken with Heimdall, the moment that there had been an announcement that people would be going home. She wasn't judging over the choice. Fuck, man, she'd been here a whole year, a third of a sweep. She'd known that this couldn't last forever and she was buying time for the inevitable, but she'd had to ask.

'Maybe,' he'd said. 'We can try, but I won't make promises.' Maybe they could send her somewhere else. She ... didn't have to stop existing. She didn't have to go back to being a dead troll in a doomed timeline, but the only part of this that sucked a bunch of hee haw beast orbs was that it meant finally, once and for all letting Vriska go. If she left, it was admitting that she knew her friend wasn't ever going to catch up to her, and she was just... gone. And that... that was a sadness that made her almost want to go back and accept fate. Vriska'd been a horrible bitch and a half, but she didn't deserve to die alone.

But... she made a decision. 'Give it a try. If it doesn't work, it was a good run.' A few people had reminded her that there were reasons to go on living, to try again. Maybe she could find them again, in some other fanciful world. She didn't have to give up, and so... she wouldn't.

She was sitting there, looking up at the fireworks when she saw someone she recognized and beckoned them over with a grin and something fruity in her hand. "So... tomorrow's the big day. Eh? You gonna miss me?"

Lake:

Full:

[What Sora wants most? That's not hard to figure. As if he needs this lake to tell him. But he's still drawn to it in habit of enjoying being near water after growing up on the Islands and all. When he peers in, it shows him happy and alive, maybe racing or sparring with his friends. Riku is there. So's Kairi. Donald and Goofy are. Along with Aqua and the rest that he saved back home finally after so long. They're all on the Islands and happy, together again and able to at least have a chance to enjoy peace, to be together and properly get to know each other and recover in the aftermath.]

Partial:

[Sora's curious when he sees the shards, tilting his head as he picks one up and blinks at it. His eyes widen and he almost drops it and cuts his hand through his gloves in his surprise at what he sees.

The memory, the image of all his friends being torn from him, or lying dead at his feet. Sora having been helpless against it. It brings up awful memories of the time he kept trying and trying to fix, to set right, and he falls to his knees. Hating how useless and helpless he had felt then. How he never wants that ever again. Rewriting it, changing the outcome had cost so much already. He's not sure he even could try it again even if he wanted to do so.]

No....

Diamond Dust:

[Sora probably doesn't necessarily want most seeing his final moments he recalls back home. Himself declaring that he had to go and get Kairi back. That even then he'd been told, more than once, about the risk. The cost of doing so in abusing the Power of Waking to return the hearts of his friends.

He frowns, pouting slightly as he coughs at the dust a little, trying to brush it off and away from him some. He might not immediately realize that others could also potentially see it though. His last memories of home.]

Farewells:

[Sora, for his part, is trying to make the most of this. To make the most of these last memories here. With those from home and those from elsewhere he wouldn't have met if not for this place. He laughs, racing ahead and gesturing for others to join him to watch the fireworks, eyes wide and lips in that seemingly almost perpetual smile of his.]

Come on! One last night. We gotta enjoy this!

1. Final farewell

[ During the last day, Rhys can be found wandering with a hen sitting on his shoulder. Really just taking in the city that's ended up a second home, as strangely lonely as it's become with so many wanderers gone, despite the Asgardians that are still around.

As he gets closer, however, it becomes obvious that he's ... talking to the hen? Maybe there are stranger things, but he's probably never seemed like much of an animal person. ]

I hope you don't miss me too badly. You'll have lots of space and all the food you need at the farm, so don't worry about that. Sigyn and the others will take good care of you.

[ He scratches the hen under her beak, then finally offers a smile and a wave. ]

Hey! End of an era, huh?

2. Wildcard

[ I couldn't really think of any other prompts but he'll be attending all the firework shows and stuff, so we can always do something else! ]
