Clouds and Currents - VoK & HW 2021 Event Prompts
Author's Notes
With the approach of the titan and the smaller beasts you were unable to visit the booth until late. There you find Edgar hiding under the desk, "Oh! You made it. I was worried the monsters may have gotten you." Leaving his hiding hole the young tom looked off towards the chains and camps of each land, "I wonder about them. The new strangers. I know you're nice, but what are they like? Could you tell me?"
Edgar seems as if they want to know more about where you come from, or about the pride they are housed with.
Day 3 - Edgar's Scavenger Club
When the two arrived, Edgar poked his head out of his hidey-hole to greet them, saying, essentially, that he was glad to see they weren't dead. Yeah, they were glad to not be dead, too. They'd seen a few more rock creatures on the way here, after all, and they seemed to only be getting bigger. Or maybe it just felt that way?
Either way, Edgar had his share of questions when they arrived... and, well. If they wanted to stay on his good side and maybe get a chance at moving forward with their plans, answering them was probably their best bet.
"I'm gonna be honest," Nahia said, "I'm not even from here. Not just like, 'Oh, I'm not from here, I'm from the sky kingdom,' or, 'I'm from the sea kingdom, actually, let me tell you about our coral and stuff,' either? But, like this whole... world? So, yeah, I know about as much as you do about this whole thing. Probably less, realistically." She shrugged. "And yeah, I know, that sounds like the world's worst lie, but hey."
Tamaya raised an eyebrow. "Are you supposed to be, uh... telling people about that? Bora seemed pretty down to not have anyone find out besides m-"
Nahia scoffed. "Oh, who even cares, honestly? People have their stories, right? Even if they don't have, like, definitive proof that gods exist or anything, it's not like they don't have their beliefs and all anyway."
Edgar tilted his head. "Sorry, did you just say gods? As in, you're a god?"
Nahia grinned. "You know it!"
"Whoa. That's crazy! What's your domain? Do you have any powers?"
Aaaaaand she'd gotten tangled up in her own mess already. "Weeeeeelllllll, you see-"
"She's still in training," Tamaya jumped in.
"Hey!" She huffed. "Like I said, I'm, like, basically a god."
Edgar gave the two a questioning look. "So you're not a god?"
"No, I'm totally a god," Nahia insisted.
"She's sort of like a half-god," Tamaya explained simultaneously.
"Uh..." Given his skeptical tone, this didn't seem to be helping at all, really.
Tamaya sighed. Time for a change of topic. "Anyway. So, did you want to start with the sky kingdom? Or the sea kingdom? I can tell you about both." She paused. "Nahia likes the sea one, says the coral sounds cool."
"Oh? Hmm... Alright, let's hear about the sea!"
