[open] hydaelyn's house for wayward souls

[exarchal]

Who: Anyone!
When: All of November.
Where: The Haven, at the "classy" grade house maintained by some people from the FFXIV cast.
What: It's mingle time. Drop by for a visit, make your own toplevel, maybe ask who that weird old guy sleeping in the yard is. (It's probably crystal grandpa.)
Warnings: Mind FFXIV spoiler warnings in threads!

[ Located past the fanciest manor houses is something a little more modest. The most prominent thing one would notice about it is the front yard, which someone obviously spends some time in, though the cutting of certain bushes is a little close to amateur. More importantly, it looks a little messy but very inviting, and there's almost always the smell of something warm and delicious coming from inside the house. The lush and flowering garden in the back has a recently-scrubbed fountain and running water, as well as a near-permanent host of small birds. Is it magic? Probably. Most of the flowers are roses, though, which are a bit hardier than your usual flowers.

The interior is just as cozy, with a fire in the hearth that's almost always going, and plenty of books loaned or purchased from shops. Furnishings are occasionally sparse but the kitchen is fully-stocked, as is the family room where most people spend their time. The dining table exists and it's nothing fancy, but there's almost always a smorgasbord of fruit and other snacks left out for visitors.

New this month are tiny sigils drawn in faintly glowing paint along the windows and doors. Teleportation wards are in place, as well as soundproofing for each bedroom (ahem), so anyone teleporting directly inside the house will find themselves repelled.

There is a spare housekey under the mat, though, if someone gets locked out. ]

Primula! Or Prim, or spoiled rotten princess.

[He holds out his free hand to Iris, wondering if she'll allow him to pet her.]

How'd you get her to be purple? Or is that just at thing where you're from?

[krihnnges]

[K'rihnn chuckles at that. Iris, meanwhile, will stretch out her neck to bump Prompto's hand affectionately with her beak.]

Mm, on my star, you can feed chocobos certain foods that can change the color of their feathers. You can see a myriad of colors for them because of that, though I've, personally, only seen yellow, black, and red in the wild.

How about Prim? Is this her natural color?

[clickclickbang]

[Petting the bird! Primula is giving her human a betrayed look.]

Yeah, there's only yellow, whitish-yellow, and black in the wild back home and not enough people with tame ones to test food types out on.

[Prim is so betrayed right now.]

Nice horns, by the way.
