Call me Haru

A Muse is a creature of old legends, a monster with many eyes, many wings and long claws. They have influenced many folklores and myths all over the world due to their peregrine nature. Monsters see them as freaks of nature, as they are weavers, have an opium based poison they use to make prey sleep for incredibly long periods, can't eat red meat, excluding a lot of quick options of food, including human flesh, and how judgemental they are regarding their protection. Regardless, they are incredibly strong and territorial, not allowing threats to come close to their children.

To be honest, making this segment of day 2 was hell,as I can't figure Jester out at all, making it hard not to change the original dialogue. I doubt he'd care that Epi was practically babysitting a monster cub, or how the wing scar oh her cheeks look too coincidental. He just wants her gone, regardless of the poppy scent covering her, or how sensitive and comprehensive she is. That's how I can interpret him.

At this point, Ticket Taker had witnessed Epiphaneia in many vulnerable positions and situations, such as getting overwhelmed by working at the front of the coffee shop, holding Carol tightly the second they saw each other at the circus grounds, a specific event regarding Orpheus, Eurydice AND Carol, confronting Micah at the line of the black tent, catching Pierrot's knife mid flight, a borderline panic attack at the shattered mirror, and the odd interferences between Columbina's and 'Olivia's' memories.

[Lets be honest, my art exposes the times I'm drawing when I should be actually asleep]

[Got lazy on figuring out how the fuck would Day 1 roll considering Epi wasn't alone at no point, so skipped to the night of day 2]

AKA 'what happens when a person with fear of attachments finds out they got attached in the worst possible way'

So, funny thing about Epiphaneia: her growing up situation made her very afraid of attachment, as a lot of people she loved either vanished or died in her early life.

The Muse's presence at the city is an open secret among locals. A monster with a gentle nature towards kids and teenagers, and very selective regarding adults she trusts, Calliope was one of nine sisters (wink wink), and until very recently, she was by their side, with her son Orpheus by her side.

It was by chance Epiphaneia and Eurudice entered their lives. Two street musicians, a kid in their early teens and a lady in her late teens, both human, both with nowhere to go.

The Muses hid inside an abandoned theater by the edge of town for a few years, enough for Orpheus and Eurydice to have the equivalent of a marriage cerimony, and for Epiphaneia to integrate with the group long enough it was understood Calliope wasn't leaving her. So they all became a little group and kept migrating from region to region.

Years later, after moving a few times more, Calliope chose to settle roots in one big city with good hospitals, as Epiphaneia's congenital heart and health issues made the nomadic life quite dangerous. Heavens forbid if she has an emergency away from civilization, Calliope would break.

Just like previous times, the Muse took residence in a theater, abandoned and in a humble part of town, and made it a home for herself, Epi, Orpheus and Eurydice. The other muses chose to keep wandering, letting thhe older sister to do her thing, and praying for her safety.

Ah, yes, let the bickering commence

[As everyone can see, the art is getting lazy]

Orpheus is surely a ray of sunshine and Eurydice loves it.

[Got lazy after taking too long drawing Harlequin, so yeah, scribbles]
