Hi all.

I've found in my travels that the best ways to get to know a community are to see what people do in their off time and find out where they go. So. Tell me anything.

What are your favorite places to eat?

What do you do with your time?

What are popular activities or hobbies around here?

For my own interestes, I have a few specifics:

Where is the nearest record shop?

Does anyone need an archival specialist? Data engineer? Librarian?

Also-- Does anyone know of a half decent mechanic that will follow instructions?

Thanks.

'Eternal Light, Guide Me.'

Very nice! I like how dedicated the vibes in your kingdom are, from the little bits I've heard from Cor. It's very in tune with the collective unconscious ideas about darkness and light, danger and safety. The metaphors are excellent, 10/10.

I know, it probably sounds silly. Sorry, I'm a sucker for this kinda thing.

[It was the glitz and the drama of it that drew Athena's attention, much in the way that the inherent drama of the Romans and the Greeks had drawn it as well. When leaders were so great and terrible that history remembered their names thousands of years after they passed, they couldn't resist.

The feats of the emperors showed what the potential of what could come from every decision. Likewise, the angry missives in preserved clay tablets about corrupt traders showed that some truths about humans were just eternal.]

The library has been mentioned before and I've got it pinned as a place to check out. As soon as I sort my affairs and make sure my cat isn't spooked, I'll hop to it. Cecily (my cat) is a little spooked after this morning, but she'll be fine.

It's sad to hear that our hosts weren't exaggerating, though. Has any work been done to find out if anything is hidden anywhere?

Us Lucians are quite dedicated to the ethos of our society, especially since House Caelum are the guardians of the Crystal that brings forth light. Every aspect of our culture revolves around the cultivation of that light in hopes of staying off the darkness that encroaches our world.

[His people are deathly afraid of the darkness for one reason, daemons. It’s only normal for people to fear the dark but when there’s actual monsters involved, of course everyone will cling to the light.]

I, for one, don’t find your intrigue silly. Honestly, I wish others were more inclined to learn about other cultures and lore. I suspect Cor already told you I possess a love for such topics.

[He’s a certified bookworm through and through.]

Oh, you have a cat? How cute! I’ve been thinking about getting another pet, especially since tonberries aren’t exactly friendly pets. However, Tonitrus is actually rather sweet despite being a little feisty at times.

[He sends her a cute little picture of the tonberry in question.]

These little monsters typically carry knives but I have him a toy knife instead out of…genuine concern.

[More like he didn’t want to wake up to crime scene any time soon.]

Is that... Literal?

It sounds rather Messiah-like, thought. And, quite a heavy burden to carry.

But, regardless. Cor did tell me about your love of academia, and I would love to exchange notes at a better time. Perhaps when I'm not recovering from getting zapped by Cor's lightning kitty???

I know nothing about tonberries or coeurls or any creatures from your world but they seem capable of incredible levels of aggression. It's impressive, if I'm being honest, and I'd be curious too meet them someday.
