Day 2: Home
sometimes it's hard to think of the shadow of a castrum as "home", but... it's much harder to deny the effect the Shroud and its people have had on him.
#miqomarch#miqomarch 2024#ffxiv#ffxiv miqo'te#final fantasy 14#there's no canon location for O that i've managed to find so#i imagine them being basically. between gyr abania and the shroud#used to cover a pretty large territory between the two#a long time ago before the ala mhigan invasion#and as it was they eventually. settled on staying in gridania. purely because it was safer there#and they didn't want to side with ala mhigo for fear of like. invoking the ire of the elementals#and it was fine for a While. until negi's father just sort of made a mess of the tribe.#got a big head about it and thought he was invincible and slowly whittled away at relations with gridania in general#until there was no trade and they just stagnated#negi was one of his last kids and as a twin he inherited most of the issues o'kovhi didn't get#so there's something a little... bitter about childhood for him. the feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place#he left eventually for gridania proper to study as a conjurer (which didn't work out very well)#but without all of it he wouldn't have met selene.. wouldn't have found his calling during the calamity...#he wouldn't be himself!#and he does love the Shroud. it is his home for better or for worse#his.... roots ;) ;) ;)#m: negi

day 25: hot
m'seyli thought she'd be able to handle thavnair. she grew up in gyr abania! she knows how to handle the heat! she was very wrong.
#ffxiv#miqomarch#miqo'te#seeker of the sun#gpose#oc: m'seyli#i imagine thavnair is a very different kind of heat to gyr abania#humid heat vs dry heat#she can handle dry#she is not equipped for humid

Preparing for Ilsabard (reluctantly) -- Part II
As much as it was easier to let it go, Lyse felt S'ria deserved a courtesy warning about what'd she'd overheard between Fray and Zenos over a year ago before stepping foot in Garlemald.
Ao3
(tw for depiction of panic attack)
"S'ria, may we speak in private?"
Lyse had managed to sneak up on him and it was only the familiarity of her voice that kept him from jumping out of his skin. He didn't like her tone, far too serious for her earlier excitement at seeing him again, but there was no reason to refuse. He nodded and allowed her to lead him through the maze of Ala Mhigo, eventually stopping in a small storeroom.
She looked around cautiously and bolted the door on the way in – S'ria found himself increasingly concerned about how important or confidential this matter may be. In different circumstances, maybe he'd be nervous about this behavior – but this was Lyse, and he was quite confident that he could spot an impersonator.
They both perched on some boxes and S'ria waited for her to start explaining. With pleasantries and catching up long since out of the way in the last several hours, the only thing that remained was whatever important matter she called him out here for.
"Okay, please be patient with me – I do not want to cause you undue distress in my choice of words."
S'ria raised his eyebrows as if to say, 'putting this off is a great way to cause me more distress'.
"Sorry, sorry – here we go. During your last fight with Zenos, here in Ala Mhigo, I arrived at the end of it. I overheard some of a conversation between you – well, not you exactly – and Zenos. Do you… remember anything like that?"
S'ria's grip on the sides of the crate tightened. "No. I do not."
"Oh. I'm not really sure how to have this conversation, but I wanted you to be prepared going into Garlemald. How much do you know about… your life?" Lyse winced.
S'ria was beginning to look as though he'd rather be anywhere than this conversation. "I am now, unfortunately, somewhat aware of my childhood circumstances." There was enough venom in the word that it was quite clear that they were on the same page. "I also know He's dead. I left the country after, somehow, got to Eorzea."
"Did you know that you killed him?"
S'ria choked out something that was half of a laugh. "Not for certain. But I suspected as much …Do you know how?"
Lyse cringed. "Not exactly, but it sounded like it was… um. Violent."
"Mm." S'ria was quiet for a moment, unsure if he wanted to try and remember that moment for catharsis, or if it'd be worse to know. Maybe asking had been a mistake. "Lyse, I don't think learning extra details before I go back there is a good idea, unless there was something else to this conversation."
Lyse was quiet for a long moment, staring at her hands, before she finally blurted something out.
"Zenos knows."
After a moment to process the words, all of the blood drained from S'ria's face and he immediately felt dizzy. "What? How?"
"He said he looked into you, came across the records for your accusation of murder. I'm sorry." And truly, she did sound very sorry, the sympathy soothing – even if it was lost against the intensity of everything else.
The warm air in the storeroom was increasingly stagnant in S'ria's lungs. "How… how much does he know? Just that?"
"I – he said –" Lyse looked away from him. "I think he was able to see the situation for what it was. I'm so sorry, just breathe, please?" She reached for his arm and then immediately pulled her hand back when he flinched.
"Wh-why, why did I need to know this?"
Lyse looked stricken. "I wouldn't have said unless it seemed necessary. If he tries to use that information to hurt you –"
" – then I'd have been taken completely off guard." S'ria made a wheezing noise that was impossible to tell if it was originally a laugh or a sob. "That's fair." There was something else he thought he wanted to add, but he was feeling too lightheaded to focus on that.
"Look at me, S'ria – I'm going to breathe slowly, and I want you to try to match me. Can you do that?"
S'ria nodded jerkily. It was reminiscent of training somehow, this breathing exercise. When he'd first learned stealth, they'd taught him how to breathe smoothly and quietly, such that your lungs remained well supplied but you made no unnecessary noise. He wondered if Lyse had learned to slow her heart and breathing while training too, or if this was something she'd picked up elsewhere.
Over the course of several long minutes, his heart and breathing returned to something far more normal, leaving him merely tired and clammy. He felt like he'd been sprinting around outside in the heat instead of sitting in one place.
"Thank you. For the help and for…warning me. I'll be glad to have you at my side for this mission." He smiled weakly. "I'll do my best to not be a…liability, in Garlemald."
"Any time. And please, that's not what I want you to take from this conversation. I just don't want you hurt by something we might avoid." She paused a moment. "May I hug you? You can say no, always."
S'ria considered. Lyse was familiar, she was warm, her fabrics soft, her scent pleasant. "...Yeah. Go ahead."
It was just as nice as he remembered it being.
#snow-system#ffxiv-oc#ffxiv-reactions#s'ria 🌸❄️#writings#Lyse and S'ria were really close back during Stormblood#(this is not the first time she's seen him have a panic attack)#and while they havent had much officially business lately#S'ria has been visiting Gyr Abania from time to time when he was free during post ShB#even brought G'raha once or twice. show him the country where he was born and all.#part II!

So, in my FFXIV journey, I'm nearing the end of the main Stormblood story and that involves diving into the Lochs of Gyr Abania. When I first saw them, I thought they were more or less just salt flats.
But then I had to dive in for the MSQ and... There's a whole castle, possibly castle-town under the water. I just dove down again for a sidequest, and found a broken statue of Rhalgr, the main deity of Ala Mhigo, and my first thought was "the archaeological implications of this place is amazing."
I kinda hope there is a side quest that has something to do with exploring these salt-encrusted castle(-town) ruins.

Day 13: Color
"for someone who likes to blend in, you sure are wearing a lot of colours."
"ah, but i didn't tell you what i'm blending in with!"
#miqomarch 2024#miqomarch#ffxiv miqo'te#seeker of the sun#final fantasy 14#the answer is nothing. he's not blending in for shit#but really as a child he tended towards like. natural colours for that specific reason#didn't like to be seen. because generally if his dad saw him it was because he was somewhere he shouldn't be#then later it was just convenient. earthy tones are easiest to find when you don't have a lot of gil#then in gyr abania because the duller you are#the harder it is to be spotted#and then he became a scion and... well... when you have a little bit more time and a little bit less fear for your life#you can start thinking about style a little more#add some greens! you're already dyeing your hair may as well#oh these ones are a deeper shade. but they're lovely and you can afford them#ah! sagra wears red? it pairs well with this shade...#now he's a little all over the place!#oranges and reds and dark greens and yellows#pinks sometimes to go with selene...#it's not like he needs to worry about anything anymore. may as well have fun with it!#he's gonna go INSANE with the colours in tural i'm sure lol#radz at han was already making his head spin!

What is the worst thing you have put your OC through story-wise?
Hm. Other people have put her through some shit - but me, personally... that's a good one. The only thing I can think I've done to put her through the wringer that wasn't brought on by someone else ICly, or someone leaving the game OOC, is her backstory! Everything else since has happened organically, and has hurt almost worse by virtue of being people she actually cared about who hurt her - but I mean, I gave her a backstory where she was a (reluctant) teenage guerilla fighter during the Garlean occupation of Ala Mhigo who ended up in a concentration camp! I don't go into the specifics of what she went through there, because we were all taught what goes on in that kind of place, at some time or another... and I don't think it gets a whole lot worse than that!
#ffxiv#ffxiv rp#ffxiv oc#garlemald#ala mhigo#gyr abania#she was a native fighting for her land and suffered as so many have in the real world - what's worse than losing that fight?#it's an angle I wanted to dig into and is more relevant than ever these days it would seem#true story I researched actual concentration camp survivors for her backstory#and every single one I read about/watched mentioned that they held no animosity for their former captors/abusers#which cannot be said for Jak - she couldn't fathom giving up her hatred
