Nyx's Links
Fickle girl. Don't forget, you have your own responsibilities.
It’s nice to have somewhere to stay. The shrine is her home now. She only wishes she wasn’t as frail..
She remembers this one. Used to be a regular at the shrine - desperately praying for things to change. I suppose he got his wish… for better or worse.
Eris is so tired of being the weakest. He hates this pervasive feeling of powerlessness more than anything else. Why did he have to be born this way…?
Ah, Lily. Quite menacing as a shrine maiden. Is better at keeping the unwanted out- unlike SOME maidens that will go unnamed. Although she shouldn’t make a habit of her tardiness…
G-got it boss! …Ah geez, is she gone now? Thank the garden… that woman is cutthroat…
Hm, Thea? Wasn’t she a frequent visitor of the shrine in the past? Always, always to pray. It’s rather tragic, what happened to that little family. Truly.
Please, Founder…. If you’re listening- if anyone’s listening, please. Help my brother recover. I can’t do this alone…
Nyx doesn’t CARE what the city thinks. This impulsive, dim-witted, abrasive, scatterbrained excuse of a scientist shouldn’t be allowed within REACH of the Founder’s Garden, let alone granted special permission to to study it. She will not have the Founder’s good legacy tarnished because this “Professor” decided to sic … data collecting roombas! In the flowerbeds! There’s nothing more abhorrent, more FOUL, than the mere THOUGHT of Mary in the shrine.
Haha, don’t tell the Head Priestess, but she got the city to approve her getting some seeds from some of the flowers in the garden and started growing them on her own…. Actually, don’t tell ANYONE, otherwise she might find her apartment getting raided, haha! Hard to tell which one is worse, founder fanatics, or the wraith of the Head Priestess!
Sigh. Such a shame, wasting a pretty face like that amongst Erimentha’s ranks. At the very least, she’s better at keeping her tongue in check… unlike her *other* companion.
Another demeaning boss. In any other circumstance, Ava would probablly be stammering and stuttering to be getting to attention of a beautiful woman like this, but... something about the way she says things, rubbed her the wrong way. Maybe ava's just tired of being used. Still, the woman's defensiveness reveals more then she thinks it does.
So this is the company Erimentha keeps nowadays? Tsk tsk. That lovely face is wasted on someone with a tongue they can’t seem to keep in check. Even worse- the gall, attempting to suggest, IMPLY the shrine is involved in one of Erimentha's “cases”? Her arrogance is unfathomable. Perhaps Nyx has been too lax with Erimentha. She’s due for a reminder that she wouldn’t have gotten to where she was without the infinite generosity of the garden, HER generosity.
What is she calling herself nowadays? The “Grandmaster”, is it? Nyx was doing her late sister and Erimentha a favor by being the one to give that silly little budding ‘agency’ audience with the city. Erimentha owes everything to Nyx- so she better start acting like it.
“Finally, something…! But it’s a fool’s errand challenging the right hand of the city. Surely, there’s an answer- I just need to look further back…”
I see- so Erimentha’s letting just ANYONE into her little agency. Urgh, keep that dirty *thing* out of her face, and out of the Founder’s Garden!
Out out OUT! Why in garden’s name is some SCOUNDREL from the Outskirts so close to the Founder’s Garden? Get rid of that unsightly thing right this instant!
Wh- but they haven’t even done anything! They just wanted to - this- this isn’t fair..!
Garden’s above, again with that faux professor? She’s growing tired of Mary’s little student, the one that sometimes gets sent to do the dirty work in her place. Nyx has far more important things to do being forced to wait on an understudy.
Usually, the Head Priestess of the Panhellios Shrine and the Lead Researcher of the Kairos Center work in tandem to keep the city in harmony. … Usually. The most recent Priestess seems to have a ‘unique’ take on the role. Working under Mary has led Tori to hearing a wide variety of stories about the Priestess- which makes their occasional visits to the shrine *awkward*...
… hm? This one…. Ah- didn’t he visit once, all those years back? He and his sister were hardly worth noticing- quiet enough to not be a bother. What, is she supposed to know him?
Oh, thats the scary lady from the big shrine in the city right? For someone thats supposed to represent the gardens grace or whatever, she sure is uhm, sharp. Still, the garden was nice, when they visited. He's not really big on that sort of thing but you know- These days, a little luck never hurts.
... Nyx knows she wasn't the first choice to take the mantle of Head Priestess, after the previous one stepped down. But that's irrelevant now. She's the one who bears the title, and with it, Her legacy. She will do what she can, to keep this garden free of blemishes, tarnish. It is her way of honoring the ideals of The Founder, in Her graciousness, in the blessings She has given to the children of Her garden.
