Gorfuin'taenac! It's a temple made of stone! The mouth of the temple rests at the top of a hill, after a flight of big ol' stairs! There's a vaguely defined open air area with like, pillars 'n shit aboveground! The temple interior goes down in twisty, non-euclidean ways into the depths of the earth, because hey why not! It's always really misty and chilly there, there's lots weird plants that don't live anywhere else, and god where are there so many spiders, in general?

Anyway, some people live there, but some people commute or just visit only once or twice a week. If you're in on this plot you probably live there though because where else are you going to live? At the elf town? They only let elves live there.

Greetings...! My name is Aesaelion, and I am a practicing 'Speaker,' as it's known. It's a delicate craft, and relies heavily on first hand experience - to, to put it.. extremely simply, by taking a close look at someone, I am able to see the key ideas from which their 'self' is drawn.

..Ah, I, I understand this all sounds strange... but I'm told hearing the words of your being spoken in this way, whether you understand them or not, can be an affirming experience. Soothing, even. And if I read you wrong, you won't feel anything.

Would anyone be willing for me to, hmm... evaluate them, so to speak?

the many is here to represent my enthusiasm.

SO OK . . the stardew/shackle grove AUs are super cool! and i was thinking that it might make coming up with stuff a little easier to have a solid space like this for pitching rough ideas, stuff that needs a lil more work to become full detail - and for like. "hey my character is/does x, y thing and does anyone have stuff they'd like to connect w/ that?", yknow, basically a way of setting the ground for links n development. the chat is rly good for this but also doesn't have permanency or time to really 'hm' over things, and also i really like the delineation of a toyhouse bulletin, it makes things easier on m brain

plus i know that i have personally forgotten more of my fun ideas for stuff like this than i have ever written down n thats a crying shame. i don't know. End Word: please talk abt your ideas for your AU characters a lot so i can leer at them
