Desc: There’s been an influx of newcomers lately!! Many of them cannot be sustained by food and, and…!! Our vis sliver supplies are getting low! I’ve been unable to gather enough by myself… the lives of your fellow villagers may be at risk!! So I’m requesting everyone’s help.

There’s been an influx of vis sliver crystals in Silvermoss Cave, so, um… you may want to look there first!! But don’t fall in the pool, please!

The snow falls in a light dust, and the threat of heavier clouds on the horizon is out of mind for now. You intend to head out alone today, as you always would, and enjoy a leisurely walk with a job to do that doesn’t involve tracking game.

But, as you set out from the town hall with your borrowed supplies, you spot a familiar face. It’s him... the artist guy. Maybe you should ask him his name some time. He doesn’t seem busy, so you approach shyly.

“Hey. Um.” Your voice sticks in your throat a moment too long, so you open your journal where you’ve written down the task among various scribbles, pointing to the words. “We...we can carry more, with two of us.”

Perhaps it would have been wise to take two trips carrying firewood, yet Touya felt that was a waste of time. He could carry all the firewood, no problem, who cares if he couldn’t see past the stack of firewood in his arms!

And yet, he did care the second he collided into something. Muttering numerous curses under his breath, he tries his best to not only maintain his balance, yet not drop the firewood, which he failed to do in the end.

With the firewood tumbling to the ground, along with the boy who thought he could carry it all by himself, it takes him a few brief seconds to realize it wasn’t something he had walked into, but rather someone.

🌎 - Does your muse want to change the world? How would they go about it?

In the broadest sense, no. A lot of Ryan’s journey in canon is to stop change (that is, stop evil from taking over the world), because his world - and the world of his friends - was originally at peace. There’s always been a balance to maintain, and as a Druid, Ryan has always been taught to maintain balance (in his specific case, the balance of nature).

For the most part, Ryan doesn’t want to do anything drastic that would change the world or any of its balances; rather, he just wants everything to stay how it used to be. Better.

⛔️ - How does your muse react to others breaking the law? If they would do it themselves, what is their reasoning?

Laws are very different from guidelines in the sense that laws are enforced by a higher authority (i.e. the police or the justice system), and the forest elves never had that higher authority so having an enforced legal system is new to Ryan. He definitely sees the merits of certain ‘laws’, like punishments for murder or grand larceny, but for the most part everybody has their reason for doing what they do and Ryan believes that a black-and-white list of rules and punishments isn’t very efficient for a society to follow.

Without your camera, you are forced to document the sights of this world by hand—pencil scratches harshly against paper as you crudely sketch the statue’s form in your journal, going back over lines multiple times in an attempt to capture her finely carved details. It isn’t working very well. And anyone looking on would see you looking between your subject and your drawing with increasing desperation, humming faint noises of displeasure.
