Tarnished Reality

[Unsure of what to expect when she stepped through the teleporter, Edelgard had gone fully prepared for the worst, insisting on wearing her scarlet battle armor, with her axe strapped in a leather thong across her back. When she found the city nothing like what she had been told, she'd initially been puzzled, but as it became more apparent that she was not going to be troubled she found herself relaxing fractionally.

Her changes were making it more difficult to function during the day, so she'd come at dusk, well rested and ready to explore the city. Moving among the people, her outlander dress marking her as a Mirrorbound as surely as the unusual battleaxe she carried, the Emperor was quiet through most of her wanderings. The sounds of a scuffle up ahead of her current path drew her up short, though and she stopped and looked around a corner.]


It seems all is not well. [Mumbled, but audible enough for any nearby to hear.] Do you think we should aid the guard?


Bond Lessons

[It's strange seeing other Mirrorbound being pulled up onto the stage, but so far she has avoided being ensnared herself. Watching the goings on is interesting enough, though, but she's still a little uncomfortable with it. So, she slides through the fringes of the crowd towards another unmolested Mirrorbound.]

Eager, are they not?


Home

[Edelgard has made it a point to attempt to win over support from the aristocracy early on, including personally investigating the Mist that had settled in there. The few supporters she'd managed to charm haven't quite turned on her, but when she makes her way out of the district she can feel something building. Tensions are rising, a thing she is extremely familiar with, and that's going to potentially be a problem.

It's not until she leaves the district and makes her way towards the Haven, the cool and crisp night air making her more alert than she might otherwise be, that she senses something amiss.

Eyes narrowed, she pokes her head around the mouth of an alley to see two graffiti artists hard at work. With an exasparated sigh she turns to wave a passing Mirrorbound over.]


Look at this nonsense...


Wildcard

[If you want to plot something out, in Dorch, out of it, a quest, anything else? HMU at [plurk.com profile] intercession and let's figure it out!]

Oh no... That sounds terrible. I’m glad you were able to help him out. Without magic to keep things warm, it wasn’t easy to get through. It makes you realize how easy it is to become dependent on magic here...

[It was a good thing they weren’t both down there. Still— that would have freaked her out.]

But the holidays were very nice! We don’t have winter holidays like this back home so it was a lot of fun to see something new like this. I wish I’d known sooner though so I could have prepared better.

Unfortunately not. The most popular festival we have back home is the summer festival. The celebration lines up with the end of an important historical event, so it's only gotten bigger each year.

[They are, at least, not completely lacking for fun.]

Things tend to be pretty quiet during the winter. Although there are places like Ymir that you can go visit where they have beautiful outdoor bath houses and natural springs.

Things have been... complicated, I suppose. We are all well, however--

[Towa sips her drink while she thinks of the words to describe where Elliot, Crow and her are at mentally right now.]

At the beginning of the month, the looking glass house showed some of us certain events from back home that we hadn't remembered. Things that have been difficult to swallow for the three of us that did see them.

Yes... it surprised me as well. For some reason that morning I felt... drawn to it. Like there was some reason I needed to go back there, even though I didn’t know why.

[She wrings her hands in her lap, fidgeting with her unease as she remembers what all it showed her and what others had told her they had seen regarding the state of her home.]

I don’t know why or how but... it showed me things that happened back home as if I had been there myself, without ever leaving that room...
