Fountain of Lunacy
The sound of the water echoes through the hall.
A reminder of the tortured souls that fell.
To the grip of madness, trapped in this place.
Their spirits still linger, with no escape.

um relink spoilers for some of captains fate eps that made me unwell (like...eps 1-6 atm<3). quick mentions of rosetta & eugens too
Moments away from death, all I could think about was Dad. He'd been the one who trained me, and he'd done a great job, but... Well, who expects their son to get attacked by a five-headed horror? He was going to be devastated.
pained smile. it was at this moment i knew all the fate eps were gonna be great (rly like the format for them overall, i was interested once i found out there would be fate eps but doing it like this..im a fan)
"Before I knew it, our journey was at an end. The end. As in, we'd reached the end of the skies. My son, I'm waiting for you on Estalucia." I thought about Dad's letter. I missed him. When I was young, he would take me to the edge of the island, and we'd sit there, admiring the clouds. I wanted so badly to explore those skies, just like Dad. I had to see him again.
these kind of tiny tidbits (like that one quest about baby gran playing hide&seek with their dad) gets me so bad...;_;
I was worried out of my mind, but a captain's gotta do what a captain's gotta do. I left a message for Vyrn with the merchant, and we set out.
thinks about the manga when lyria is kidnapped......
And maybe we weren't perfect. I mean, we lost to Id, but Gran put his captain boots on, and got right back up, and tried again... It was never about swords or magic... It was about always moving forward, never giving up. And more than anything, it was about being there for each other.
And Vyrn... Let me just say it now. I value you and all the hard work you do. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
"Out of curiosity, my young lizard friend... Were you much help to your crew?" Uh-oh. He said the 'L' word. I turned to Vyrn, ready for his usual, furious tagline. "Thanks, pops. You really helped me see the light." Huh. This was new.
no comments i just rly liked these. 'the 'L' word' took me out tho LMFAO
Rosetta fate eps..<3
With every union comes an inevitable separation. When his journey neared its final chapters as he took up arms against the god of destruction, I returned to the forests of Lumacie.
words that jumpscared me cuz i cant rmbr if this was an early ingame fact or not
also eugen,,
Even now, thinking of our old house makes my heart ache something fierce. That day, there was no one to greet me when I opened the door. Seeing the cold remains of my home tore open a void in my heart.
yknow,,,,,,
anyway they shouldve had apollo in relink. i wouldve loved her fate eps

Sonic Ring Bond: The Journey - Scene 16
And here we go, the second update since the schedule change! It’s really so weird only posting twice a week, but survey results implied that would be best for everyone.
Onto the scene itself, I’m really enjoying writing with a dual narrator approach. I need to be really careful with it in the future though as it’s very easy to over use it. But that’s for me to worry about. For everyone else I just ask that you enjoy...
Tumblr media
     “OW! Is that really necessary!”
     Rosy held nothing back as she yelped in tune to the jingling of lost Rings. The black robed priest looked at her confused that she would ask, but still answered her all the same.
     “It is customary to strike free the Rings that we come into contact with on our travels.”
     “But you could just ask me!” Rosy huffed while puffing up her cheeks. “I don’t see the point but if you just asked, I would turn them over.”
     The priest sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he shook his head. “You do not understand child. The nature of the Rings… If we do not strike you the energies binding them to this world will not be released.”
     “Hrmm~!” Her cheeks growing redder and larger as she tried to keep in her anger, Rosy eventually let it all go with a sigh. “I still don’t see the point. Rings are helpful.”
     “They are an accursed thing child. Were you not taught this already?”
     “I’ve been taught plenty of times, but where I’m from Rings are just accepted as normal and used to keep everyone connected.”
     “It’s hard to fathom such a distant land exists,” the priest scoffed and again Rosy’s cheeks puffed up in frustration. It was unlikely she would get anywhere with the priest and soon headed off, though not without pulling down on an eyelid and sticking her tongue out at him when he was not looking.
     ~I know making faces at the priest wasn’t going to help me, but he was such a jerk I had to do something. He also wasn’t why I had traveled to Jutting Rock Village either. Though it wasn’t like I could just walk around town and stumble onto the source of the rumors. Not that I didn’t want to walk around town. Tee-hee~♫
     ~No one knew where the ancient ruin had come from, or even what it was built for. The town itself had been built on it sometime in the past and even past Ring Shifts had not dislodged it. That afforded the town a sort of fun atmosphere as no one was scared of losing their homes. Windmills adorned various streets and stairwells that threaded through the ruin and high up to it’s upper reaches. The stone slab road seemed kind of silly compared to the colorful pebbly roads of the town. Trees growing out of the side of the ruin were amazing to see to. And it wasn’t just the ruin either, everything had plants of some kind or another covering it. The moss and flowers were my favorites, though some of the vines looked like they could lead me to interesting places. It was the type of town I could get happily lost in so easily. Fortunately for me I was kind of famous in a way, tee-hee~!~
     “Excuse me miss.”
     “Hm?” Rosy tilted her head back as someone called from among the busy market stall lined street. Turning fully around to see if she could figure out who called her, a young human man with pasty skin tumbled out of the crowd holding a cloth to his sweaty brow. He was well dressed as though he worked for someone important but seemed terribly flustered and worn out. “Did you call me?”
     Walking to the man as he braced himself on his knees Rosy clasped her hands behind her back and began to sway absent mindedly.
     “Y-yes!” The man exclaimed between gasping breathes. He was obviously not in good shape and Rosy felt sorry for him.
     “I hope I didn’t upset you at all,” Rosy somewhat apologized as she looked him over curiously. He did not appear to be a threat, but alone as she was in a strange land Rosy could not afford to be too careful. She was sure though that it was more likely him that needed help rather than her and offered him such. “Maybe I could help you out?”
     “P-p-please! If you would be so kind miss.”
     Scratching her cheek Rosy laughed nervously. “Well, if it isn’t too much I guess.”
     ~I have a love of fortune telling and keep a deck of tarot cards with me, my oldest friends really, so I knew before I ever arrived that today would be fortunate. The silly man who called out to me was a servant of an old man who saw me from his bedroom window while I was wandering around town. His reason for wanting to see me was kind of sad though, even if it was fortunate for me.~
Tumblr media
     “AH~! It’s really everyone! I can’t believe it!” Rosy eyes shimmered with joy at the framed picture of her and her friends on a bedside table in a plush and cozy room of a well-off sapient owl. In material wealth at least. Looking from the table to the venerable owl who lay in his bed watching her with eyes that had almost lost all sight to an unsightly white film, Rosy’s tail stopped wagging and she calmed herself down. “If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get it?”
     “It’s a funny story,” the owl breathed, smiling at Rosy. “My son came across it and thought you were perhaps performers. It has been some time since I’ve watched any and he thought it would cheer me up bound to bed as I am. Imagine my surprise when I saw you walking by garbed as you are. The way you carried yourself It was obvious that you were no performer, but rather a traveler. Such a curious outfit for that lifestyle.”
     “Well, it’s kind of multipurpose,” Rosy laughed embarrassed. “I can run, and tumble, and swim in it, and it’s so pretty too. Though I don’t remember how I got it anymore, just that I wear it when I travel…”
     A sad smile came to Rosy’s face and she kicked at the carpeted floor as she clasped her hands behind her back. She was not one to dwell on sorrows though and thought she would cheer up the old owl instead. “But, while I’m not a performer I tell fortunes as a hobby and could tell you yours if you’d like. Or maybe I could try to perform a little bit. I’m pretty acrobatic and good at tumbling and somersaults and twirling!”
     “Why that would be delightful! Yes, I would like that very much!”
     ~And so, I did my best to entertain the kindly old owl. He was so much nicer than the pirate owl who was chasing me and my friends. And maybe it was his age or health, but it was his son’s fortune he wanted to know and not his. I’m glad it was a good one too as it made him so happy.
     ~I ended up staying in town for another day or so trying to figure out how I could ask him for the picture. It would help so much in finding everyone, but it made him so happy to imagine us being traveling performers that I couldn’t just take it from him. But I didn’t need to.
     ~His house servant found me again while I let myself get lost in town. He was really sad too as the old owl had passed away. His last request of his house servant was to let me have the picture so I could find my friends. It was just like my cards had foretold. I would be very fortunate in Jutting Rock Village. But why did the old owl have to die?
     ~No matter how many times I’ve watched the sun rise and set I know I haven’t aged a day. Is it because I interact with the Rings in this strange land? It doesn’t make sense. I don’t know. But I do know I don’t want to waste the old owl’s gifts. He wanted me to find my friends and so I will. With the help of the picture he gave me.~
     “But I wonder who made it?” Rosy pondered aloud as she walked along the stone slab road that led from Jutting Rock Village. “I know we didn’t have time to make a picture after we took it, so how?”
     Pulling the folded photograph from one of the puffy shoulders of her leotard, Rosy finally noticed writing on the back.
     “This is–!”
     -If you’re reading this Rosy-lass, consider it a gift from your friend, Mach Frog Gill. Though really, just me tossing fortunes to the wind and hoping it’ll indebt you to me instead. I could always use help gathering more Rings.-
     “What do you even need Rings for Gill?” Rosy laughed and wiped away the tears welling in her eyes. “No one likes them to begin with that I’ve met. Ooh~! I guess I’ll just have to find you too so I can ask!”
     Her mind made up, and a clue to finding someone she knew in hand, Rosy picked up her pace and soon was speeding along at a pace that would take her to distant lands in hours. Her next adventure had begun, and she would chase it to the ends of the world.
Scene 16 · CLEARED Rosy the Traveler, End
-----
And there we are, the first episode of Rosy the Traveler. I hope everyone enjoyed this tinier and more intimate style of adventure with the dual narrator approach. And perhaps it’s a bit of a sad story, but I really hope everyone enjoyed it all the same and will look forward to the next episode.
Thank you everyone!

@aaetherius​ sent:  "alt!"   || Send me "alt!" and I'll introduce you to a character I've rped in the past, want to play in the future or are currently playing somewhere else!
Future muse?:  Yggdrasil from GBF
Dawn walks on the soft horizon. She finds herself awake early, basking in the light once more. It’s been a few months since she joined the Captain and the crew of the Grandcypher. A part of her hopes that the forest is doing well, for Lumacie Archipelago. For that forest was her own, and she had grown more lonely with Rosetta gone. But she’s here! And the crew, too! 
Tumblr media
Soft eyes turn to the sound of boards creaking. Oh, it’s Lucifer! A small smile comes to the Great Tree, offering a small wave. She can see he’s still not awake. “ ! ” Oh, right! She brought out some tea to enjoy the wisps of clouds. Hands, graceful like the wind, gesture to the small table. The steam can be seen, as it’s still quite hot from earlier, thanks to Lyria. She wants him to join her, even if it’s to have a cup and depart. 
It’s taken a lot of time for her to control her powers, but like now, small blooms of flowers begin to cover the deck. Yellows, greens, oranges all come to life on that little plot of land. Just as she notices it, she stops, but the flowers and grassland linger. Whoops! But who can truly contain their excitement on a day like this?

Lumacie had not seen snow at all, at least not during Yggdrasil’s relatively short millennia there. She’d almost forgotten what it felt like. To feel the cold seep in, feel slow and sluggish. It felt a little bit like she’d returned to the airship, what with the thin, brittle air and white wisps curling around each of her crewmate’s words. She’d often found herself paying more attention to their exhalations than their conversation, and she couldn’t remember…
The soft, icy motes slowly accumulate on her head sprout, and then over the rest of her. She’s even forgotten to blink, eyes staring inertly as her thoughts begin to peter out. One of her leaves buckles under the weight, and the shock of snow against her scalp startles her awake— she shakes off the cold blanket like a dog shaking water from its fur— irrespective of the person beside her.

may I request some naoise?? maybe trying to confess to his crush? 💛💛💛 thank you!
Ah, of course you can! Naoise… isone of my faves…
Naoise
He’s not really sure how he cameto fall for you in the first place
You talked with each other, foughtalongside one another, and gradually became closer
And somehow he finds himselfthinking of you when his mind wanders
It’s little things like how heworries about you or looks after you like he does for Heles and Seruel thatclue him into his own feelings
He decides to wait, to be sure ofwhat his feelings are, to be certain that he isn’t confusing familiarity andfriendship for love
But nothing inside him changes; hefinds himself unsure of what to do with such feelings
He ends up asking Seruel and Helesfor advice, as they are among the people he trusts the most
Seruel tells Naoise that he shoulddo what he feels to be right, Heles on the other hand advises him to confess
After mulling over it for a bit,he decides to confess his feelings for you  
Or rather, he tries to
The first time he tries confessinghis feelings for you, you’re called away to assist in battle
Naoise doesn’t think much of it;you were needed elsewhere and he can’t fault you for going out and protectingthose that needed it (he would have done the same)
The following times always manageto be interrupted somehow one way or another
He thinks maybe this is a sign heshouldn’t confess, that maybe there’s a reason things seem to be getting in theway
But those feelings dissipate when hesees you
It just so happens that the two ofyou get separated from the others in the forests of Lumacie while helping oneof the locals
After unsuccessfully trying tomeet up with the captain, Naoise decides to take it as an opportunity toconfess
So with the verdant trees as abackdrop, he says your name softly before confessing his feelings for you
“It seems that I have romanticfeelings for you. Would you be willing to accept them and continue to stand bymy side?”
You give your reply almostimmediately, happy to accept his feelings for you
Oh, and the two of you do manageto find your way back to everyone in the end

@gallowsbough​ chimed:  ❝ When you live for many hundreds of years, you know that every opportunity will come again. ❞
Perhaps it was careless of her to say that she wanted their journey to last forever. Their end was Estalucia, yet none of them knew what awaited them there or their next steps afterwards. Not many could say for certain what the future holds. There were times she was tempted to ask Arulumaya to look at her fortune, to know if there was an ounce of happiness at the end. Yet she stopped that foolish curiosity from voicing her thoughts, not wanting to be weighed by the knowledge or to burden her friend with such a selfish and silly thought. All she knew was that she wanted to be with all of them. 
Djeeta blinked up at the chime, eyes drifting up towards Yggdrasil within the branches of the tree she was sitting under. For another who lived and saw more than she ever did, it made her curious about Yggdrasil’s view and experiences. She didn’t know the primal as deeply as she would like to. “Do you ever feel like you missed out on things? Not all opportunities are the same, are they?” The blonde asked, trying to think of examples so Yggdrasil could give her an in depth answer. “There will be different people around or it’s another person who offers. That kind of thing.”
Tumblr media
“Did you ever feel like you missed out on things, Yggy?” The captain’s brow furrows, recalling that they had broken her pact with the Lumacie’s forests. Djeeta still wondered if Yggdrasil’s envy was Rosetta’s freedom to see the world or towards the world and her father who had taken Rosetta away. “I know you’ve been learning under Lyria...well, before we arrived here.” She was in the same place, but before her journey everything was new and bright.
If she hadn’t chased after the blue light that fell into the forest she and Vyrn considered their training grounds (essentially their playground), then she wouldn’t have started on their journey. Sure, she had a plan to make it to Estalucia, which was chasing after a fairytale of Sky Maps, but no airship to speak of. Was it really an opportunity or merely things falling into place as the wheels of fate began to move?
“Do you look back and wish you could have done it back then?”

In Depth Profile of Gretz
This is going to go VERY deep and very much into Main Story Quest Spoiler Territory so I’m gonna put the unnecessary stuff under a read more.
Tumblr media
Full name: Unknown, She hasn’t given out that information. Race: Erune, techincally a Revenant. Elemental Attunement: Water Occupation: Captain of the Grandcypher, Mage, but can probably beat most people in a sword fight. Charge Attack names: Originally “Lainetav Meri” then becomes “Vaikne Ookean” Parents: Both parents are Erune, Father is from Zinkenstill, Mother from Lumacie. Mother died at giving birth, father is currently in Estalucia. Siblings: Twin sister, deceased.
Aaaand the rest can go into a Read More because this is where things go very detailed and I’m not gonna clog the tag with my ramblings! This is basically her backstory, and parts of the MSQ retold to fit Gretz
I’m gonna warn you all now that this is a brainfart and probably badly written because there’s like... facts and story and it’s all written like a mess, but hopefully explains enough.
So... I suppose the story should start from the beginning. Gretz’s father was an incredible mage and the leader of his own skyfarer crew, and he started young, younger than Gretz when she began her journey. Somewhere along the way, Gretz’s father met Margrite, a rather plain Erune woman from Lumacie. The two fell in love but her father kept the relationship a secret. Before long, Margrite found out she was pregnant, and out of the blue, Gretz’s father disbanded his crew and hid with Margrite and wanted to simply start a family with her.
Things went horribly wrong, however, when both Margrite and one of the twins perished during birth. The circumstances were strange, they simply started failing, and even though Gretz’s father was very well versed with healing magic, to the point where he could bring someone back from the bring and regrow their limbs... his magic didn’t catch. Nothing he, or any of the other healers did could save Gretz’s mother or twin. Margrite’s soul was beyond saving, but a little sliver of the dead twin’s essence was still there, and the father managed to grab onto it. 
Gretz’s father stayed with Margrite’s family for a while, until his guilt got overbearing, and he decided to go back home, to his mother’s home. Things were quite relaxed for many years, Gretz grew up strong, and wasn’t really bothered by the fact that she didn’t have a mother. Her dad never mentioned the twin.
He taught her magic, and passed down his ability to cast magic without any arcane instruments, but instructed Gretz to never show that ability to anyone. She never truly understood why this type of magic had to be kept secret, but she played along.
When she was 8, her father’s crew had tracked him down, and much to his dismay, they were incredibly angry and wanted him to get back into skyfaring. Gretz was instructed to hide, her presence was to be kept a secret from the crew, who would otherwise want her to join was well, given that she was HIS daughter, and probably inherited his powers. So Gretz hid. She hid until her grandmother came to fetch her and Vyrn, and so Gretz was left without her father. The little girl was left grief stricken, being only told that she will find something very important when she was ready. 
So she stayed there on Zinkenstill until at the age of 21, she saw the girl with the blue hair falling from the sky, and her fate was sealed. She valiantly defended this strange girl, only to be struck down by a hydra. In the process her soul tied with Lyria’s, but another entity was brought into the mix. A terrifying fighter spirit with an opposing power to Gretz’s, the ability to void magic utterly. Gretz would not find out about this other spirit until much later, when stakes would grow bigger and lives were endangered more, but until then, she, Vyrn, Lyria and Kat went on to create a skyfarer crew. 
Most of the story follows the main story quest, bar for a few differences, most notably, when Not Gretz appears. She’d appear any time when Lyria would be sure to get hurt, other times when things seem hopeless for Gretz. Her body remained the same but the aura surrounding the Erune was different, cold, devoid of joy. Her mannerism was harsh, sarcastic, almost evil. Most of the time, the crew would spare any people who got in their way, opting to convince them to take a better walk of life, but not this person. With impossible precision and immense power and speed, a jagged spear would cut down all who dared to harm the Red Dragon or the Girl in Blue, or even the vessel herself. These “possessions” were short, but left Gretz a mess for several days. The scar on her stomach that almost ripped her in half that would never fade no matter how hard she tried to get rid of it would tear open, crippling her. They would all inevitably heal, but it seemed that whatever shared Gretz’s body had a vendetta against her and wanted to make it obvious to everyone. 
As the crew land on Lumacie, they take on a job to clear out an old cemetery that’d been overrun, and Gretz comes across a very familiar name. That leads to her getting a little hint to her other grandparents, and she tracks them down. The old pair receive her warmly, shocked at how much she looks like her father but having her mother’s eyes, never saying anything bad about her father and that her mother’s death was just an unfortunate situation but wasn’t anyone’s fault. Gretz then keeps regular correspondence with her mother’s parents, and is happy to have found more family.
The next most important event happens after the crew flees Lumacie following their defeat at the hands of a corrupted Yggdrasil. They go to Zinkenstill, where they find that Gretz’s paternal grandmother had passed, leaving her shaken to the core. The crew presses on though, determined to save the islands from the Empire. At the shrine, Vyrn falters, prompting Sturm to raise her weapons at him, only to be swiftly swatted to the side violently by a powerful black spear. Not Gretz takes on the agent duo, her antimagic nature completely cripping Drang and pinning Sturm against a tree with her own swords, though not killing them outright, as “it would interfere with The Other too much.”  Before having the shit utterly beaten out of him, Drang did manage to find out who the spirit was, though only cryptically being told that she was “the one who never made it.”
The assault was cut short as Furias’ invasion of the island was deemed far more interesting a fight for the entity. The invasion didn’t last, and soon everyone would return to the ship for a rest, Not Gretz relinquishing control of the body back to Gretz just so she could see the injured Drang and Sturm drag themselves back onto the ship. Needless to say, Gretz, feeling like a monster, attempted to hide from shame, only to pass out from her stomach being ripped open again.
The healers all scrambled to get her back whole again, and no major injuries except for Gretz’s pride. The following morning, before the sun would crest the mountains, she managed to drag herself out of her bedroom, and tip toed off the ship, silently, not telling anyone. Vyrn, however, seemed to know something was off and found her, weeping at her grandmother’s grave, and suggested that the two go and do a favourite early morning passtime of theirs. The two quietly went onto a hill, and Gretz began to call out. Her voice sorrowful, but the echo in the mountains beautiful, and after a moment they’d hear the typical clanging of cow bells as the herd ran over to inspect the calls.
The two of them were followed by another pair. By Drang’s suggestion, he and Sturm followed the captain to see what she’d do, ghosting around like that, all mysterious. It didn’t take long for Gretz to notice, and in her weakened state, she became petrified and convinced the two would want revenge. A little slip on the wet dewy grass left her tumbling off a steep hill and straight into a fencepost and she felt a bit too weak and in pain to do anything so she simply curled up and started to weep. Drang and Sturm, both taken aback at this display of vulnerability rush up to her and Drang offers a little healing to close up the cut on her forehead, Sturm simply propping her up. Gretz, confused and scared simply starts rambling about how she thought they’d kill her. The agents shook their heads and deny that being their goal, though Drang wants to know more about the entity in her. 
Upon hearing the phrase that the entity is the one who “didn’t make it” Gretz realized that the entity could be none other than her deceased twin, though she then became even more confused as to how her twin who died at birth would have those abilities. One question answered, 10 more now taking it’s place. 
After cleaning herself up a bit, Gretz spots a strange glint in the distance, in the middle of the field. Squinting at it, she spots a familiar relic, her father’s staff. Though weak, and hurting, and confused, her legs simply begin to move and she recovers the staff. The stone in the middle shining just as bright at she remembered it. 
The 4 return to the ship, where the rest of the crew is restless and panicking looking for their captain. Relieved to find her unharmed, the crew quiets down, though Gretz now has a new resolve to go and save Yggdrasil, so after Vyrn releases whatever the hell was in the shrine, the crew goes to face the menace. 
During that fight, it seems quite hopeless but Gretz manages to unleash magic to a crazy amount. Her innate spellcasting meant that she didn’t need tools to cast magic, but she remembers that she can siphon magic in from other sources than just herself. After basically destroying several staves and tools by sucking out all the magic and basically almost turning herself into a being of pure mana, she manages to get a hit strong enough to defeat Yggdrasil, but then immediately gets slammed full force into a rock cliff by one of the snake tentacles. Her spell took away all noise in the area and the sickening crack of her body hitting the rock face was more than enough to make the whole crew imagine the worst. 
Luckily, being made of pure magic meant that in that state her body was basically unable to die from injuries, though she immediately requested help to fix her numerous broken bones. Lyria was NOT allowed to see the body. Everyone else still has nightmares.
After that... The crew follows the main story aside from a few minor differences, but Gretz accepts the whole “Singularity” business pretty well but then realizes that she really DID cause the deaths of her mother and sister.  Lyria manages to pacify the spirit, and Emmeliine is given an official position in the crew, and Gretz no longer gets torn up every time a possession takes place. The crew are looking into getting a golem made for Emmeliine so she and gretz can exist in the physical realm at the same time. Em is still very spicy and mean, but no longer AS murderous. She’s still able to beat the shit out of the crew.
I hope??? These ramblings make sense?? I wanted to make a comic of this but my hand  hurts and in fic format it’d take too long.
Yes my self-insert is a fucking Mary Sue with Deep Issues and a Dead Twin Ghost Spirit whatcha gonna do about it.
