"You're looking for work? I'm down one Moderator, I could use the help."

Redesign time. Just felt like it was a bit too bland, yknow?

Made a new oc, figured it'd be neat to have others like Diana who are forces of nature. Meet Aurai, the deity of wind! Carefree and mischievous, but she does takes her job seriously.

And she's sorta got a thing for Diana. But atp who doesn't?

This is Beep-Boop! Beep-Boop is a digital assistant made by Alyssa while she was tired to hell and back one day. She coded Beep-Boop as basically a secondary computer inside of her own. But, she didn't activate Beep-Boop because she passed out before she could.

Beep-Boop, however, did come online after some shenanigans with the Anchors and Celestial Twins. Beep-Boop basically acts as Alyssa's computer in the digital world, having access to all her files and such. Thankfully, tired Alyssa is still Alyssa, and she coded in a fail safe where, if Beep-Boop gets infected with someone (which is pretty hard already), Beep-Boop gets cut off from her computer and is shut down until she reactivates the digital assistant.

Beep-Boop is very happy-go-lucky and generally very unbothered. Beep-Boop knows full well the power Beep-Boop holds and doesn't really consider much of anything a threat. Beep-Boop would even handle threats pretty nonchalantly, flicking anything away with an immense display of power.

Just cooking up some ideas for the future arc. (The one where the Abyss kinda shatters the timeline.)

"Master!"

Two voices shout out, followed by flowing winds.

A tortoiseshell cat turns his head, ears flicking. He snorts. "There is no possible way."

In the cluttered room of the Magic Tower's owner, a tom-cat walks across the wooden boards and walks over to the window. He opens it and smiles.

Outside are two cats, a grey maine coon and a ginger tabby, floating with the help of Wind runes. The head in through the wind, and land on their feet.

"And what are you two doing here?" Ezekial, the Tower Master of the Magic Tower, asks, resting a paw on his hip.

"Willow wanted to see you." The Ginger Tabby points at the Maine Coon. "I wanted to pick up some potions."

Willow grins. "Nestor missed you. He's just too shy to admit it."

"Shut up!"

Ezekiel chuckles softly at the two bickering before he raises a paw. "That's enough, you two. Why don't you tell me the real reason why you're here?"

Nestor sighs. "Nothing gets past you." He holds up his paws. "Well, it's because of the opening of the tower happening soon. You know, when you let in new magicains, witches, wizards, sorcerers, and sorceresses?"

"I am aware, yes."

"You haven't really spoken about it." Nestor frowns. "Or made any announcement. What's wrong?"

"Mm.."

Ezekiel frowns as he looks out the window. His two formers students watch him with worry before he sighs. "If my magic is to be correct, the queen of Desiderio is soon to make her appearance. My ice magic has gotten considerably stronger as of late."

"She's- huh?!" Willow gasps, her ears flattening. "Is she really?!"

Ezekiel nods, clutching a paw. "I'm hoping to delay the opening. If Desiderio, at the very least, opens its borders before the opening of the Magic Tower, it'll be a win for us."

Nestor tilts his head. "But is that really a good thing? We don't know what'll happen. What if unwarranted attention starts going her way, or yours?"

Ezekiel smiles. "The Magic Tower is considered neutral by all kingdoms. To provoke us is to try and rattle a centuries old deal." He chuckles. "Cats are that stupid, Nestor."

"You'd be surprised.." the ginger cat mutters.

"Well, then Eros will be able to make his debut too, right?" Willow steers the conversation towards Ezekiel's son, her tail flicking.

"Eros.." Ezekiel sighs. "He's not all that interested. I don't blame him, considering how so many cats always want to know about him." He smiles gently. "So I'll let him decide."

Nestor nods before clapping his paws together. "Oh, right!" His face gets serious. "Have you heard? Songbird Nimbus's kit is apparently going to the church dedicated to Bliss a lot, lately."

The tower master hums. "Hm. Is that so?" He smiles a bit. "I've heard rumors about her. Maybe we'll get the chance to see her one of these days."

"The debut, huh.." A small calico cat flicks his tail with a small sigh. Turning away from the cracked door, Eros makes his way towards his room.
