#isola stuff

Yvain is a white leucistic lion that Till hatched from a companion star under the well-intentioned but misguided attempt to 'free the animal trapped inside'.

While originally Till simply asked for 'a cat', the large cat most likely came about due to Till's subconscious idea of how large four-legged animals in his world usually are.

Till feels responsible for Yvain, but he wouldn't consider Yvain a pet, as the lion is free to come and go as he pleases, and Till refuses to put a collar or leash on him.

Yvain spends almost all of his time sleeping or playing with Ivan's massive alien dog, Orthus. In the year he's been here, Yvain has hardly ever left their home in The Black Fens.

It isn't something that's been done, really, back in our world, but I thought I'd give it a go. I know you probably already have one, but two is better than one, right?

Happy Birthday, kiddo XOXO.

And upon opening it? It's in a nice wooden case with intricate carvings in it. Upon opening that, there is a guitar. It looks to be handmade by someone.

Tracing the carvings on the guitar reverently, Till brushes away the tears falling onto the polished wood as he goes. He plucks at a string hesitantly, as if he’s not sure it can actually be played. Hearing the clean note that reverberates through the body of the acoustic guitar, he carefully picks it up and gives it an experimental strum. The chord has a bright and woody quality he’s never gotten from his electric guitars, which tend to growl lowly like Till himself.

Hugging his gift close, he holds it in his arms as he picks up his phone.

[txt] nuna this is too much [txt] i haven’t done anything to deserve this [txt] i can’t believe you made this [txt] it looks almost too pretty to play [txt] you could make a career out of this [txt] i’m never going to be able to get you a gift as good as this but [txt] thank you so much

"Mmm..."

"How are ya supposed to free the animal trapped in this thing?"

Till taps the companion star against the edge of a nearby surface as if trying to crack open an egg.

"HELL YES BABY! WE'RE OFFICAL NOW! END OF THE ROAD A OFFICAL BUSINESS! Ahem.."

The outside:

the house sits on its own island, separated from the bigger island (broken off more like, but he did it very carefully)

it's connected to the mainland by a magic chain so that the island doesn't float away

the house itself is on the higher part of the island and is very difficult to reach if you dont know how to climb and/or fly, though there is a path upwards that is hidden from view

the big gate at the end of that path is never locked but there is a magic seal on it that prevents everyone other than him, his monkeys, and people he likes (and now his two roommates) from entering. everyone else gets blasted away when they try to open it

behind the gate there is a courtyard (see pic. 2 for reference)

and a small house (see pic. 3 for reference)

4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (inside), 1 bathroom (outside)

The inside:

the inside of the place is pretty rustic, most of the furniture looks handmade (and probably is)

not a lot of things in general, at least not in the main rooms

does have a TV and a game system

lots of plants

lots of pictures of him and his friends, both photos and ones drawn by him

LOTS of monkeys in and around the house

his own bedroom has another seal that doesn't let anyone in except him

his bedroom has a LOT of sentimental junk in it. ask me about his sentimental junk
