A lost, lost bug wandered long to find here. She speaks in a voice that knows of strings, for was she once on them as well? âA puppet?â She approaches, tone quiet. The only sounds that can be made out is her lack of breath and her claws tapping on the floor, but there was no hostility in her gaze. Only⌠was it, Pity? Antenne dropped gracefully behind her head, and scratches covered joints, scars long there from an event long in the past, but still relevant in the way she holds herself, like a performer with stage fright, or string fright.
( @eternal-blue-dancer )
Click. Clack.
The sound of joints moving.
A face in the darkness
A mask in the darkness
A life sized, construct of wicker, with sickles for hands, jerks out of the darkness, carried through the air by strings that fade in and out of view.
âA new harvest, harvestâ
âLet Marien look at you, youâ
A sickle, where the hands would be on a normal bug, swings forward, carefully tilting your chin upwards.
The puppet somehow had moved completely silently, now right in front of you, mask up close to your face.
âSuch a beautiful face, faceâ
âYou have your own strings, Marien sees, seesâ
âThey may be cut, but they still puppet you, strings of fear, fearâ
âMarien knows fear well, well.â
âWe all are puppets to something, something, are we notâ
âSome are stronger than others, othersâ
âsome fade, some linger, but they are always there, thereâ
âWho is it that has your strings, strings?â
âMy strings? Were cut. I suppose there are remnants of them, in the scars of what once was.â The butterfly explained, lowering the sickle from her chin in a smooth movement. âWe are never fully free from strings, are we? Then you are correct. What holds my strings is memories, and not good ones. Ones filled with fear.â She doesnât seem throughly startled.
âMemories can be quite vicious, viciousâ
âIf you ever need someone to talk to, or a place to stay, you are welcome here, hereâ
âPuppets should take care of each other, otherâ
[Marien heard an artifical, mechanical sound... And a puppet descended from the ceiling.]
I felt a calling here. I do not know why. Strange Bug, do you know why?
@clawmaiden
âYes, Marien knows, knowsâ
âYour puppetmaster asked marien about you, youâ
âYou must be a claw maiden, correct, correctâ
How do you feel about the Clawmaidens? Puppet automata.
"Marien is not familiar with them, them."
"Marien would like to meet one however, however."
[Marien saw a shadow scuttle out of the corner of their eye... And heard the giggling that followed it.]
[The Collector held a Mawling within a jar.]
Little one, Little one! Do you like this place?
[Didnt seem to notice Marien yet]
@collector-of-pharloom
Marien leans over the collectorâs shoulder
âHello, collector. Marien remember youâ
[The Collector snapped its gaze towards Marien.]
You remember me? How delightful! I've never met a bug like you, so my fame must precede me! Pray tell, Odd Bug, what may be your name?
âMarien. Although Marien is not a bug, bugâ
âYou may have never met Marien, but Marien has seen you before, beforeâ
âWhy is it you visit this pace of sorrow, sorrowâ Marien gestures around her. You hadnât noticed it before, but you appear to be in the remnants of a village, long abandoned and overtaken by shadow. Husks of burnt structures and decaying homes.
It is enrichment for this bug here!
[The Mawling seemed to be afraid of Marien, curled up into a ball.]
While I replicate their homes quite nicely, they still need to visit the outside world... Which is why I bring them places! Nearly all I do is for the safety or comfort of these precious bugs.
"Marien is glad you have found a purpose for yourself, yourself"
"Marien should go, your bug is afraid, afraid"

âHello, heroic puppetâ âMarien commends you for having cut the strings laid out for you and your siblingsâ
âIt is quite inspiringâ

(Translation: I'm a puppet?)
"We all are puppets, puppets"
"But the vessels, such as yourself, were more so. You were created for a single purpose and manipulated and used to fulfill that purpose, until you broke free, free"
"Marien admires that in you, you"
*Sounds of fearful shrieks can be heard followed by a louder, more horrifying screech.*
*Something has arrived in Bellhart. The pilgrims sound frightened.*
@pinney-plinney
Marin jerked her mask towards the sound of the screams, far away as they were. âWell shit, shitâ
[Marien saw a shadow scuttle out of the corner of their eye... And heard the giggling that followed it.]

Obs, come look! It's a puppet. I wonder what it's tale is...
Luna, that thing gives me the creeps...
Of course it gives you the creeps...
@luna-from-beyond
The bug sized puppet jerks towards you. She turns its mask, seeming to be looking directly at Observer
âMarien can hear you, rude puppetâ
âIf you find Marien repulsive, then do not speak to Marien, Marienâ
It then turns her gaze on Luna.
âDespite your companionâs rudeness, you seem like a good harvest, harvestâ
âYou wish to hear Marienâs tale, taleâ
âKnow that it is a long tale, with gaps in the story from forgotten details, detailsâ
âYou still wish to hear, hearâ
Well I'll-
Obs, shut it. And yes, I'd love to hear your tale, Marien.
âVery well, wellâ
âLet Marien tell you the story of a girlâ
Once, there was a girl who lived in a small town. She lived in a small cottage, and had a beautiful garden. She would tend to every day. She would talk to the plants as if they were people. She showed so much care, and the plants flourished. One day, when visiting the market, the girl noticed a merchant selling cut flowers and plants, similar to those grown in her garden. Life was difficult, and she could use some more money. Maybe she could even get a nicer house. She bought a sickle. The girl cut down a plant. A crack formed in her. She was able to get food. Another harvest. Another crack. She got a better house. More harvests. More cracks. She finally didnât have to worry about food. The cracks began to spread and worsen. One dayÂ
Fire.
Screams.
Blood.
The girl was the only one left. Â
But itâs no longer her.
...Go on...
I'm leaving, this is a bad fucking idea...
âThat is all Marien remembers, remembersâ
âYou should go, goâ
Obs, come look! It's a puppet. I wonder what it's tale is...
Luna, that thing gives me the creeps...
Of course it gives you the creeps...

Hello little puppet! :D
@flescia-the-loving-rot
Marien turns its mask all the way around, and looks directly at the center of your power, however far away it may be
âHello, woken puppet master, puppet masterâ
âYou do your best to help your puppets as you pull their strings, this Marien knows, knowsâ
âBut you have strings of your own, ownâ
âWho pulls your strings, stringsâ
She thinks for a moment, a little surprised and bewildered at this creature asking her such a strange thing.
As far as I know, no one has me in their thrall? What a weird question. I just exist, dear. As I always have, and hopefully, always will.
Although...I hope that I change as many times as I need to. That's the cycle of things, no?
Oh! I get the question now! If anything, my 'strings' are pulled by the cycles of time. Ehehehe sorry for going on a tangent, but I found my way back to the road dear!
What are you bound to be, little puppet?
âJust because we cannot see the strings, does not mean there are none there, thereâ âYou have strings controlled by a similar being to Marienâs own, ownâ
Her arm is pulled, and gestures at the strings on her other arm.
âAs for your question, Marien does not understand what you mean by âwhat are you bound to beâ, please elaborate, elaborateâ
It then turns their mask, looking towards you.
âQuite the interesting puppet you have, dancing to the tune you force upon them, themâ
âA puppet master, controlling a puppet masterâ
She honestly doesn't know what the hell she is talking about, or to who, so she just... Clarifies the question.
I mean, dear, what is your nature? I've never met a person like you, and I'm a little curious!
âMarien is a puppet, and excellent at noticing the strings on others, be they physic or mental ones, onesâ
âMarien also used to tend to the harvest, but the harvest is gone, goneâ
