♔ ; PURPOSE

The one day Celica wears her crown, she’s out and about. Strolling, endlessly, hands behind her back. Eyes give a far-off look, not really paying attention to where she’s going… and then she falls. She must have tripped over something and before she knew it, she was on the ground. It was funny, she was the one who assisted in taking down a GOD and she ends up tripping probably over her own feet in a unknown city.

  Nomah’s clumsiness must have rubbed off on her? She had given a small shriek of surprise as she landed - the force of the impact knocking her circlet off. She groans in annoyance, reaching for her circlet - praying to… a god that it wasn’t broken. Thankfully it wasn’t. Placing it back in it’s rightful place, Celica slowly heaves herself off the ground - and finds herself face-to-face with another woman. 

Flushed cheeks. Celica was embarrassed. How clumsy of her, to trip and fall like this. Not like a princess, one would think. A smile was seen upon her face, trying to hide her self-conscious expression.

❝P-Pardon!❞ She stammers, trying to maintain an air of dignity.   ❝When my circlet went flying, it didn’t hit you or anything? Goodness, you’d think a princess would watch where she’s going, haha…❞

Hands are held regally in front of her in the typical “fig leaf” position.  ❝…Say, if this is presumptuous of me, I apologize… But haven’t I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar, if I may.❞

@scopoultimo liked for a starter.

     Robin was always one for being hyper-aware of her surroundings. It had been ingrained in her for many years- from her time on the run to the all the battles she fought in while defending Ylisse, and the very future of her world. There had been nothing outwardly concerning about the slow mill of people, and certainly no telltale signs of danger, so it was a surprise- albeit one of low overall concern- when a woman in Robin’s general vicinity found herself tumbling down. It was also not something Robin could have predicted, even with Sumia’s penchant for clumsy mishaps- something Robin had seen her share of over the years as well.

     Instead, Robin can only move to offer concern and aid in the aftermath of the other woman’s accident.

     “Oh you needn’t worry over such things. I was not hit, but even if it had gone flying, it would not have done enough damage to harm me. Are you quite alright? I am far more concerned for your well-being after such a fall.” 

     Robin was calm in demeanor, offering genuine aid and concern with no expectations. She took note of the aforementioned circlet, and the disclosure of the others title, but such a population was par for the course here. This information was only put to use to build an identifier for the other woman. She too seemed vaguely familiar... as if they had met in one life or another.

          ❝ I - If you think you may like someone. But you’re not certain if they are interested back, and it might be a little complicated as well, what should you do!? Please, I am not good at this, so I need advice! ❞

      ✧ ❝ I-I’m not scared of ghosts! ❞

      ❝ But… You don’t suppose… That some of the ‘haunted houses’ opening up for the season have some real ones inside of them…? ❞

     “Well it’s certainly possible there might be some real ghosts...” Robin paused for dramatic effect, allowing herself to have fun with a harmless tease.

     “Yes… As always, you are right.”

A soft nod of her head, Lucina knew that her mother’s words were true. It was frustrating, being in a situation like this ( especially for as long as she has been in ), but at the most all she can do is learn how to handle these situations better in the future, to hopefully turn the tide around.

After all, fate was something not set in stone to Lucina - not after all she’s done to defy it. Not after all Robin’s done to defy it.

     “But, yes, I do believe that is for the best. We can learn      about this place a little more, and perhaps we can use      our knowledge about it to our advantage.”

     “Precisely.” 

     There were a great many things strange and crazy in this city, just as the last, but one thing that remained constant was the connection between mother and daughter. Like the stars in the sky, they would always have each other as family. Moving forward, they could keep using their bond, and their experiences to continue carving out a home for themselves here, so long as they both were here.

     “We cannot help who comes and goes, we never could, but we can utilize our resources to ensure our lives are the best they possibly can be, and likewise for those we grow fond of.”

     Robin’s tone was softer than what she showed the public, imbued with fondness reserved for those she was close to, and her lips had quirked into a tiny crescent of a smile as she tucked a snow white lock behind her ear.

It was its own blessing that Hubert hadn’t been here to witness the way these strangers flitted about the shops with little to no regard for others; had abilities not been limited upon entry into Spirale, some of them would have become little more than ash. The thought was almost humorous. But instead, an observant woman came to Edelgard’s aid, grabbing her arm and dragging her out of harm’s way.

“Yes, I’m alright — and I’m grateful for your help.” Now in a calmer corner of the shop, Edelgard collected herself and continued speaking with the stranger. “Once quiet… Has something changed about this place? It is busier than I expected.”

     Robin had always been happy to help where she was able- it was a value imbued in her early by her mother- but until she had joined the shepherds, she had possessed far greater cause to be more self-concerned. Yet, with time, she had become able to exercise more freedom in aiding others, and using her strength and skills of observation to help. This young woman was certainly no exception, and her gratitude was welcomed too. Some strangers were content to simply brush help off, and while Robin would never curse them for it, the gratitude was a warm difference.

“Y’know, it’s kind of boring here without ACME and VILE chasing me all the time. Maybe I need to get involved in some capers; make things interesting.”

“So this ‘Halloween’ is not just about the occult and terrifying, but also dedicated to sweets? I wonder… must you dress up to be presented with treats?”

 “ – maybe I should ask someone to go to the party with me...”

               ❛   I don’t know what everyone’s so worried about. It was so dark outside that I got a good twelve hours of extra sleep in.   ❜

he’s just gonna lay down and take a nap on the ground

      ▲ ❝ Demon Lord…❞

      ❝ … This feels all too familiar. I hope for the sake of not just everyone but this realm as a whole that everyone is able to work together, ❞ and though she says such a hopeful thing, her azure hues remain downcast as she mumbles to herself.

  confusion is evident. eyebrows down, lips pursed in a subtle pout. the person before her was speaking pure nonsense. at least, to shaundi it was. what the hell did they mean, taken from their world? killing their doubles? it sounded like one of the fairytales she heard as a kid. maybe the omens and talk of Essair’s coming was worrying them and making them think things that weren’t true?or it could be stress. either way, none of it made sense to her.

  before another word could be spoken by the other, shaundi holds up her hand to signal them to stop.  “ I’m sorry, this all sounds like a cool story, but it also sounds fucking crazy. Are you alright? Did ya hit your head or something? There’s no copies of anybody walking about, let alone people from another world.”

     “Rest assured, I am perfectly sane.” Robin’s tone was not harsh, her expression perfectly kind and understanding-- every facet of her was displayed in shades of utter calm as she listened to the other react. “This is not the first time this city has experience such an event, though it still differs greatly. The concept of these mirrors of ourselves, which could be deadly, that is very much real. It would do you well to believe it now, and question this all later.” Which was the polite way of saying there was no time to question the hows or whys, and to simply roll with the punches until they could subdue the threats.

QUEST: PLEASE FIND MY CHICKENS! | PANASTAR It seems a delightful young woman within Airaisal has lost all eight of her chickens. Since she’s allergic, she can’t touch them without getting hives. Instead of asking just WHY she has chickens, then, in the first place, you should just go and get the nice lady’s chickens for her. She’ll reward you, if you do!

    It was the perfect task for Sumia, with her affinity for animals and dedication to ensuring their safety. Even those animals who were a bit misunderstood, whether because of behavior or because they were considered less ‘cute’ than others, they mattered to her. She suspected it would be no problem to recover the young woman’s hens, especially with Robin by her side. And they’d just come across one of the birds now; the little chicken was flopped on its side next to apatch of flowers in Airaisal’s central village, flapping her wings into the dirt so it could run through her feathers. “O-oh! Right there, Robin… She’s taking a bath in the dirt!”

     “Be very careful approaching… we can’t scare her away. You have the bag of treats, right?” The mixture of corn and other chicken-appropriate feed would hopefully draw the bird out from her hiding place, but this task would have to be accomplished carefully. Chickens could technically fly, even if only for a short while: Sumia didn’t want this bird to stray even farther away from the pair. / @scopoultimo

     Robin had been over the moon to reunite with Sumia among the hectic nature of the latest challenge Spirale had seen fit to throw at them. She was a woman oft defined by how the dealt with conflict, and the true remained same here with her affinity for strategies... but said strategies could be applied elsewhere. When quests for the different kingdoms had been shared, and Sumia sought to resolve the one regarding a woman and her missing hens, Robin had been more than elated to break from her work and unwind with her wife. For who was to say fetching chicken’s with your partner was not relaxing in it’s own right?

    Robin listened attentively as Sumia spoke, following her gaze to the chicken in question. They needed to coax her, approach with caution and show they could be trusted. Sumia’s affinity was perfect for this, but enhanced still when mixed with robin’s strategy. 

“I have the feed. I believe it would be best if I could lure her to you.” She spoke soft, so as not to startle, when she replied to Sumia.

     Opening the feed bag, Robin laid a little mound of the mixture at Sumia’s feet, before cautiously creating a trail leading to the hen. Once this was done, she returned to stand by Sumia’s side.

     “Yeah! I guess I still gotta find that beat to step to! I’m      sure it’ll come eventually.”

At the question, Ann scratched her cheek in thought. Hobbies were something that have evaded her lately, only because of Phantom Thieves stuff.

     “Well! I like to shop, play video games, hang out with      my friends… eat food that’s probably not very good for      me. Ehehe, not very exciting at all!”
