Portrayal Notes:

OKAY housekeeping stuff out of the way, I am once again mainly looking for threads for Selkie of one thread having fame this month, however Sothis is also here as my unaffiliated muse, so feel more than free to grab her for whatever!! She needs to socialize more :softsmile:

Selkie (here!)

Bow +1 (Needs Unaffiliated): this is very much a problem she’s actually had in-canon, so I think she’d be surprisingly helpful in this situation actually. All of the knowledge she has is literally just this. Which isn’t a lot but still. She is very much advocating for everyone to stop hunting!!! Save the meats!!!! (Though she reaaaallly wants to keep going too… :( she would be very easily persuaded to the evil side should we wish to go in that direction lol) Taken by: Hinoka

Tunnel (Needs Unaffiliated): TUNNEL! TUNNEL! TUNNEL! TUNNEL! TUNNEL!!!!! She’s having a great time, but she doesn’t mind trying to dig a way out if her fellow trapped isn’t as down for exploration as she is. You ever seen a fox dig? They’re really good at it. Trust.

Sothis (@sublimeflowoftime — Is Unaffiliated!)

Axe +1: You know she wasn’t really suspicious before but now that everyone’s getting all mad at it she very much is. Why don’t they want us to have weapons. What are they hiding. And what are YOU hiding??? As someone who has never been to lore (sorry Sothis I’m holding out for a fortunes weave personal PLAYABLE SOTHIS WILL BE REAL I KNOW IT I scream as they drag me back to my padded cell) she is very much looking for someone to lore-drop (heh) to her about whatever it is you are all doing out there why do the children always look traumatized what are they doing to you. Reminisce about lores of years past to her while she buys you a new sword

Amiibo Gazebo: What is an amiibo and why are they threatening me. …hey why does the sun have a + taken out of it. Why are colors weaving into a spire of flames what is happening where are we hELP (long story short my brain locked on to the word “amiibo” and somehow the thought process took me to super smash bros which then reminded me Sothis is in ultimate -> hey wouldn’t it be funny if the amiibo gazebo took us to smash ultimate? I think it could be a funny little short combat thread sorta like arena, either us both on a team against some NPCs I can think up from the combat doc based on smash ultimate characters or something or as Sothis vs Your Muse battle! Willing to take on multiple of these or have a couple people in one thread if the interest is there it could be fun :nod:) Taken by: Nyx

Elise (@nohrslittleflower)

Any Skill +1: Girl has like ten billion heroes alts. This could either be a cute little dress up time where they can try on/try to recreate their other outfits, or hypothetically. Witness Birthright. Choice is yours (waiter vc) how traumatized would your like your Elise today

All Muses!

Heavy Armor +1: Two of my muses are okay with this and will make it a very pleasant bonding experience through game-ifying the chore or just having a nice chat, and one of them is screaming and crying like she’s being murdered and the culprit is the mop bucket. It is up to you to figure out which is which (it’s selkie) — Selkie: Available, Elise: Available, Sothis: Available

Fake Relationship: All of my girls are single and I think it would be really funny if they had to pretend they weren’t so I’m opening the floor to all of them happy pride month — Selkie: Available, Elise: Available, Sothis: Available

Cat Cafe: I like cats. Selkie would probably be the funniest tbh but I just like cats I want all the cats please give me cats — Selkie: Taken by Uka, Elise: Taken by Nyx, Sothis: Available

Total Skill Points: (4) —> (5)

Skill Up: N/A

Claims: Dancer, TM04: Ice Punch

💐 !! BONUS — Post-Ball intentions !!

Oh, this game was SO not designed with tails in mind. Not that she really minds — she’s super flexible and squirmy, she can get around anything — but she probably can’t say the same about the other players she keeps accidentally whacking in the face… and especially not the girl who just got her legs knocked out from under her by said tail.

“Oh gosh — are you alright?! I am SO sorry, I swear I didn’t mean to sabotage you!” Selkie drops to her own knees to scamper over to the fallen girl, fully disregarding her win in the process. A sentiment that would probably mean more if the game wasn’t already kinda over after that, but, you know. It’s the thought that counts.

What in the…?? Is all of Hoshido here and she just didn’t get the memo??? Kinda rude of them not to invite her sooner if that is the case, but whatever. She’s happy enough to see them now that she doesn’t really mind.

“Mitama!! Boy, is it good to see you!” Selkie’s tail twitches within the confines of her arms — trapped for its crimes of wagging too much with all this back-to-back friend time to the point it’s kinda starting to hurt. Happy tail is a very real and very serious condition, you know. “Hehe, if I knew this arting-fixer thingy was such a magnet to you all, I woulda hung out here all night! You wanna take a picture together?”

Selkie bounds over to the assortment of props she’d noticed earlier when she was with Midori, eagerly digging through the choices with very minimal casualties lost to the floor. Everyone should be very proud of her, she did a good job. Especially considering what she found!

Two fluffy pink animal ears (mildly disturbing to see them unattached to somebody, but okay) are forced atop the poet’s head before she can give the protest Selkie’s almost sure would probably come if she’d had stopped to ask first, a lovingly-chewed lily pinned purposefully beneath the band so it just barely peeks out the side — like the talisman on her own ears. Ears she hides beneath a funny-looking hat with jingling bells that she places on her own head.

“Ugh, this SUCKS!” Selkie pouts, ears pinned down to her skull and arms crossing over her chest with an angry thump. Even if she was better at counting than she actually was, she still probably would’ve lost track of how many times that dumb guard’s turned her away from the mystery stairs by now. Doesn’t he get telling her ‘no’ just makes her wanna see what’s up there MORE???

Still, there’s little more she can do now but sigh. The guy is clearly all too familiar with what she looks like by now despite her many masterful disguises (re: putting on different hats and a false mustache she stole from the photobooth) so unless she can become an entirely different person, no dice there.

…hm…… an entirely different person……..

“Hey! You!” Selkie shoots out from her spot on the wall, grabbing onto the unlucky stranger’s arm as he passing with one hand, pointing with the other in the direction of whatever a Goddess Tower is.

“You wanna break in with me? I’ll give you… uh…” Shoot, what’s a good bait to wrangle him into this? What do humans like?? The leftover chocolates in her pocket? No, those are hers, she doesn’t wanna share. Especially not after SOMEONE already robbed her of half the box, the jerk. What else does she have…?

“Midori? MIDORIIIII!!!” Selkie beams as she sprints towards the second familiar face of the night, scooping her up into as big a hug as she can manage before the scent of bitter herbs still clinging to her even her forces her to recoil. At least her excitement is enough to minimize to exactly what extent her ears involuntarily pin down as her nose scrunches up because of it. Last thing she’d want would be for the other girl to think she hates her just because she’s stinky. Though if she does notice, she can probably blame it on the feathers in her face making her wanna sneeze every time they brush against her nose.

…wait, feathers?????

“Hey, I didn’t know you could grow feathers. Why didn’t you tell me about that?!” The kitsune gasps as she pulls herself back from the hug fully, batting a hand at the colorful headdress adorning her… well, head. Weird. She’d have thought Midori-bird-feathers would be green. Kinda matches the stuff near the booth next to them… Maybe it’s an epic-demo or whatever? Epic-cure-all?

“...!”

Oh, that…that wasn’t one of her kind, was it? Clearly a fox, but…

NO. 

WAY.

No way no way no way no way no way NO!!! WAY!!!!!!!!!

Selkie can already feel her tail going a mile a minute behind her in excitement as she gasps, and it’s honestly a miracle she doesn’t fly away right then in there. “Another kitsune?!?! Here?!??!! RIGHT NOW?!???!!?!”

The bright-furred fox runs excited circles around her darker-furred counterpart, sniffing every bit of her outfit she can find (within reason, of course. She’s excited, not rude) for any traces of Hoshidan scent beneath the smells of the ball and Fodlan as a whole, only to… weirdly find none?? Huh. She’s never heard of any kitsune outside Hoshido… but what does she know, really? Exactly! Nothing! This only makes it MORE exciting!!!

“Oh. My. Gosh, this is just the BEST day EVER!!! I’ve never met another kitsune before!!! I mean, you know, besides my daddy,” Selkie pauses her laps right in front of the other fox, energy not dampened in the slightest as she grabs both of the other girl’s hands in both of hers — even if she is slightly out of breath from all the running. It’s a lot harder to run in a kimono than it is in pants.

“Oh, hey Shiro! How’s it goin— oooh, chocolate, don’t mind if I do!” Selkie wastes no time in sticking her hand right in the middle of the offered box, scooping up as many as she can to force into her mouth all at once with no regards to the stains left behind on the edges of her lips and front of her kimono — courtesy of the pieces that couldn’t fit.

“Thamksh, Shiro! You’re da besht!” Chocolate covered fangs peek out in a toothy grin, her tail wagging behind her practically a mile a minute, only getting faster the more sweet treats she manages to grab. Man, she sure is lucky to have a friend here with her! Who else would think to bring her a chocolate of one of her top five favorite things in the whole world? She hasn’t even realized there was a snack table yet — which is fair considering she did just get here an hour or two ago, but — “Waibt a mibnite— SHIRO?!” 

Selkie chews the rest of what had been in her mouth quickly to clear her throat so she doesn’t choke as she begins to run around him in excited circles, eyes wide as saucers. “Woah, you’re here too?! How awesome is THAT! How’d you get here? Ooohhh, know any cool places you can show me? We can— WAIT.”

Selkie cuts herself off mid-sentence. She looks down at remnants of what was once a very tidy box of chocolates, back up at the prince, then back down at the chocolates. It is in no way anywhere near the same shape now as what it was in before, but kitsunes have a very keen memory not many care to speak of. Even though she was distracted at the time, she knows what the full box had looked like. 

Or more importantly, what it had failed to look like. Her ears fall flat against her head.

"A new face!! Its nice to meet you-- OH! wait, do you want to film with me? After all i think the two of us are the best dressed tonight! I can even trade my orchids with you after were done" Lene gives a small wink with a smile! "up to you- after all!"

“Oooh, you got a different one! That’s what must’ve smelled so good!”The fluffy ears atop her head perk up at the sound of the new voice, head tilted up to let her continue the sniffing that’d lead her over to this general direction to begin with as she pushes into the lady’s personal space. Yep, that’s definitely it alright! She kinda smells like it too, actually. Maybe it’s because she’s been carrying them around so long?

Selkie tilts her head slowly, looking the stranger up and down as she gives the air around her another sniff. She doesn’t know too much about fashion, but it looks very… like something. What’s the word? Retirement? What’s this dress retirement of…?

It’s got a lotta pink and fabrics, that’s for sure. Sorta like one of the things Forrest would make, she thinks — but then again she thinks that about all clothes. What else does she know that has fabric like that?

…Oh! That’s it! “Hey, your dress kinda looks like an orchid, too! Hehe, that’s funny.” Selkie beams, tail wagging in pride of her own connection behind her. That’s gotta be the intent, right? Then that means noticing it is a good compliment, and that means she’s repaid the compliment given to her now! Hooray! Her daddy would be so proud.

“Awww, you are so sweet! Yeah, sure, you can have one of mine,” The kitsune turns to the bouquet at her side, making a careful effort to make sure the one she plucks out for her is one of the few left she hasn’t chewed on. Because, of course, a nice and pretty lady with such a nice and pretty dress can’t have an ugly flower with bite marks taken out of it! That just would not match at all. “I gotta warn you though, they do NOT taste as good as they smell. Like, they’re sweet and all, but then they make your stomach hurt. It’s not worth it.”

Hello toasters!!!! Interrupting your regularly scheduled ball to slide in a few wanted plots don’t mind me. Been a minute since I did one of these, but a new muse means a thread count of zero that I would like to fix! Obviously prioritizing Selkie this month, but I’m also happy to pick up threads for Sothis (@sublimeflowoftime) and Elise (@nohrslittleflower) now that I’ve wrangled their backlogs into a far more comfy spot! Wahoo!!!!!

…Or maybe not so awesome, since they turned her away at the door in her normal outfit. Said it was a ‘fancy’ event or something. Booooooo, fancy-shmancy! She looks great— have you seen her?? She looked great!

Oh well. Good thing she still has this neat-o kimono from… somewhere? Someone gave it to her. She can’t remember who. Oops. Eh, whatever! It’s a little dirty from being dragged around the forest with the rest of her stuff (oops x2) but it’s okay. The dirt smudges make all these cool patterns, after all! AND it’s fancy enough for them to let her in this time! They even gave her a bunch of snacks as an apology! How nice of them!
