New muse brought to you by #NOVENARY

They only want what they can sell
And I can't help that I sell well
We are drawing circles on an empty page
Playing power chords on a private stage
The body's a temple, it's in ruins
Empty visions, empty tomb
If everything I own I steal
Tell me, baby, how does it feel?

Having difficulty sleeping again, so...she's brewing tea. Works every other time. For the most part.

[𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. @CALLISTEM0N]

"Well, isn't that something? Now you've met Viburnum, arguably the best one. Oh, and you definitely have a name, too, remind me of it, won't you?"

[* Athena .ᐟ ‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍ @AthenaTaurus]

"It is! I met Jaune before when I was in Atlas and your other sister in Vacuo! Haven't met Saphron yet-"

[𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. @CALLISTEM0N]

"Well, I have a whole bunch of siblings. Saphron, uh, Jaune... I don't remember all our names there's so many, there's like... six-seven-eight of us? Is the name Arc familiar at all?"

[* Athena .ᐟ ‍‍‍‍‍ ‍‍ ‍ @AthenaTaurus]

"You look like someone i met in Atlas. Are you related to anyone by any chance?"

@CALLISTEM0N

"Yeah, see, I could never live like that. Rather know I'm the one in control of me. Maybe that's why I went to huntressing, instead of military stuff. Even if I was on a team, Rather us all be equals instead of just one of us telling everyone how to be. Simple isn't for me, huh?"

[𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚 @MarineOfAtlas]

". . . I think my orders keep me sane. To know that i morally agree with my orders, and carrying them out. It makes life simple. I eat when I'm told, sleep when I'm told, work when I'm told. Someone else handles scheduling me, and that keeps life simple."

--starting to heal now at the very least.

She sits up, turning to the stranger behind her, trying her best to stand on her own.

"You, uh... I don't... Oh, /fuck/, my head... There was grimm? More than... I should've... bothered with alone."

And one of the few things Viburnum doesn't ever get used to is how it feels to get sent into glass, and unfortunately her aura wasn't quite up when she'd gotten sent through it. The wind was already knocked out of her, so for a while she laid there, some of her minor wounds--

One of the few things Lyn still doesn't expect while running some maintenance on a building's electrical wiring is for a huntress to come crashing through a window while she's properly labelling the wires she just had to replace, causing her to turn and look at —

Purpose keeps me sane. But that's how it is for everyone, isn't it? Always chasing a calling of some sort or another."

"My brain is the thing that keeps me from having a good night's sleep ever. Seems our bodies really want to give us a hard time. But... I try my best. To stick things out even when I'd rather walk until I can't. Which is... really very often. I find having something to do, a...+

[𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚 @MarineOfAtlas]

"My heart is easy to stay put. For me, it's my brain. I drive myself half crazy with all of the constant thinking, the overthinking. Reminiscing. My brain is very. . . Loud, and it's hard to quiet it down. That's why it's hard to just concentrate on one thing at a time, for--

[𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. @CALLISTEM0N]

--to wander until my heart decides it's time to stay put for a little bit. Solitas was always the place I felt it worst, even if the cold is no joke. The forest was too pretty to leave alone."

[𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. @CALLISTEM0N]

"Oh, yeah? I'll have to... keep that in mind. My hands always have to be out for me to fight, but... I guess right now that doesn't matter so much."

She does as she's instructed to, either way, almost curled up even though she's standing.

"Sometimes it gets so bad I just have--

[𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚 @MarineOfAtlas]

". . . Your hands could be warm outside. N-not. Ugh. Not like that. Tuck them against your chest under your armor. It's an old trick we use to keep our trigger fingers useful in the cold of Solitas."

Heather shrugged.

"I get it though. My mind keeps me restless too."

[𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. @CALLISTEM0N]

"I get restless, I think. I know it's cold, and all, but... inside has never really been for me. Even if my hands really wish it was. And sometimes it's better with a friend, no?"

[𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚 @MarineOfAtlas]

"Probably something to do with out atmosphere or something, who knows. . . But uhm. . . Why did you bring me out here again? Not that I'm not enjoying our time. Just. . . Curious."

[𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓫𝓵𝓮. @CALLISTEM0N]

"I think the sparkling has a reason, but I... absolutely forgot what it was. But I always wondered what they looked like a little closer. Probably not much. We know more about them than the ocean, though, so.. there's that?"

[𝘾𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚 @MarineOfAtlas]

"They certainly are. . . There's a certain charm to their mystery. To our. . . Lack of understanding of them. The way they form shapes, and sparkle as they sometimes do. . ."

//Yeah me too, certainty makes a whole lot of things a whole bunch easier

I am quite the plotting sort!

Unplotted things make me nervous//

Very /very/ neat.//

"Lord, the stars are pretty at this time of night, aren't they? You know, I always used to make myself dizzy trying to look at them when I was... when I was younger, or... I'd fall asleep in my favorite tree in our back yard. Real glad I never fell out of her."
