For those who have read my ffxivwrite 2023 stories. You have come across a character named Xixa Loonsi that keeps popping up in them. I love this character so much that I made her in game!! It always feels good when a new OC comes out of story writing.

Pink Floyd's "Echoes" is super long (and a masterpiece). The part from 15:03 to 19:10 matches the tone of chapter 2, which is also titled "Echoes." The link above begins the video at 15:03.

How I look like while I point in Paul McCartney's face, and I shout "VIADO!!!" knowing that he doesn't know what "viado" means, and he will never think about that again.

"So I hear congradulations are in order, dear." It was rare that Viviane was so lost in thought that someone could make it through the door of the bakery without her becoming keenly aware that they were there. In fact when she heard the voice she practically jumped out of her skin. This voice was far away from where it should have been, especially in her current condition.
"Xixa?" She practically dropped the cup of tea she had been sipping at without thought "Twelve, does Liri know you-"
"Don't quite care what the child knows. Now I will take a cup of that Moko tea you make with the mint and you will come sit with me." The tap of her can could be heard across the wooden floorboards, and her sightless eyes peered out just enough from behind the dark glasses she wore that Viviane could make out the blank white space they had become.
"Yes of course." Vi straightened her back and set down her cup, quickly bustling into the kitchen where she fixed the cup of tea Xixa requested, then filled her own again, dropping dollops of golden toned honey into each before picking them up and returning to the seating area.
"It is good to see you have been taking care of yourself. Your Aether is at the strongest I have seen it since you arrived in the Shroud." This was the eerie part she had learned about Xixa's ability, once her sight was gone she could see things in the Skein that no other could, or at least no other Vi had known.
"He has helped a great deal." She said quietly, setting down the cups on the table then turning towards the door to pull down the shade and slip the lock into place so they would be uninterrupted. The last thing she needed was someone else coming in through the door while she was talking about personal matters. Her recent marriage made her keenly aware of both of her husbands' influences in their work and beyond.
"I can see that girl" Xixa locked her gaze on where Viviane stood, it was terrifying really that a blind woman could so easily find her. "Come and sit I have something important for you." The was a rustle in the old bag the Miqo'te carried and by the time Vi sat down adjacent to her a brown wrapped package sat on the table near the Elezen's tea.
"Before she passed your Aunt Doshaine entrusted this to me. She knew the lifestream called for her. She could see the waters rising around her ankles and the chill tugging at her soul. Now go on open it and I will explain." Xixa carefully reached out in front of her finding the cup of tea with relative ease and she lifted it to her lips while Vi shakily reached for the package.
"Still odd heading her called Aunt. All those years and I never found out until after she was gone." Nimble fingers tugged at the strings that bound the package there was such precision in the way they moved and in no time the paper fell away to reveal a familiar journal only this one was not as old looking as the others in the collection.
"Twelve is this?" She found herself barely speak the words, her hand reaching out to rest on the cover, the soft leather with its long ties made her smile and she could almost sense her Aunt's energy patterns there upon it.
"Started the day you arrived in the Shroud and written in every day after until she returned to the Sea." Xixa replied with a curt nod. "I know it is difficult to understand why you were never told until she was gone, but you arrived with a great deal of hate in your heart. You didn't need to find anymore of your Mother's secrets, Girl."
Careful fingers traced the cover, releasing the old scents of cinnamon and honey that Doshsine always carried as a scent. There were times when she was baking that the same scent would catch her attention and it always came with emotions she fought hard to contain.
"She told me right before she passed that I was to give you this only when you had settled into your path and moved on. Your recent wedding makes it a fine time and a good gift. That way she shares it with you. Book is enchanted, you can read no more than two pages in a sitting and if you try the pages go blank." A chuckle came from her then which ended in a wheeze and a hiccup "Spinner bless her. She had such a way with weaving Aether." Reaching for her tea again Xixa looked Vi's way.
Viviane looked from journal cover to darkened shades only to look back again. "The history of her and my Mother's childhood then?" It was times like these she thanked the stars above she did not have to breathe for it would have been impossible had she tried.
"There are things in this journal that will break your heart, secrets that you will find that will take Moons to digest. This is the tale you have sought the least and feared the most. I think you are ready for it, it will hurt but then it will help. It is more than their childhood it is their story, all of it." Sitting back in her chair then the Miqo'te brought out a small pipe, filled it with tobacco and then puffed on it till the scent filled the room.
"She loved you more than she could tell you girl. Words always got in the way. Only reason I could see it was she was like a Mother to me as well. I knew love when I saw it on her face. That journal will give you no great power, there is no spells to find. It will give you knowledge, though. Hells I almost wish I could read it myself, but that is not in my cards, only yours."
The scent of the smoke sent Vi into her apron for her own smoking case, there was silence in her motion in was that quick that even if Xixa could see she would not have noticed.
"You will not be getting your sight back again will you." The question had lingered on her tongue for a sennight now, while she could see the Aether that lingered there it felt empty to her, an unfilled space and it had dawned on her the truth.
"In time I will, girl. Doshaine told me turns ago a day would come when I gave my eyes to someone in need, an important sign. Used to think it was you but my sight came back in days. I laughed at her then, told her I would never be so foolish. In the end, it wasn't a fool thing at all, came out of my old dusty heart. Could you keep that out of your Brother's pointy ears for now? I have one nursemaid following me like I am a wee one who can't care for herself. Don't need that red-headed jerk of yours doing it too."
Vi snorted and then picked up her teacup her head shaking lightly "Say it like that I would think you had a crush on him Xixa. Reminds me of when I was a young girl smitten." Out of the corner of her eye, she looked and she smirked at the reaction she got.
"Did it rain when you did the handfasting?" The Mooncatte replied with a well-placed change of subject; her own grin lingering on her lips.

Day 13 - MyLang, Vowels pt 1
Tumblr media
Today is all about monophthongs, baby!!!!!!
I went with a simple six vowel system, the classic five /a e i o u/ and a special guest appearance by /ə/ (romanized as [ë]). I plan to use /ə/ to destabilize and fuck with surrounding consonants in descendant langs. I have not settled on, or really considered, specific sound changes but I do want to leave some things open for me to change.
That's why I didn't include some vowels I'm playing with in some other languages right now, like front rounded vowels. I might include length distinction too with an eye to break them in a descendent. We'll see what happens tomorrow when we tackle diphthongs!
I'm super digging the slow pace of this challenge. It makes me realize that I don't have to dedicate hours of time to a conlang a day to make progress.
I don't want to be too hasty but with a simple CV syllable structure here's some choice words generated with awkwords.
senëza pagu zimë xoba xixa guji kowuhi xutope lowi qera mirëlë zozëqhë kawapu qheti zojate zixëqo dogëto qhupoqa
I really like how the lang is shaping up! These words do give me the vibe that I am going for. I think that choosing to make it non-celtic is a good move to bring me into an aethetic space that is free from expectation of how MyLang should be.
(also I might change up the romanization scheme I did for the plain plosives, but the problem is that [ph th kh] to me indicate a fricative lol. I guess maybe finding a better way to render [qh]? If you have any ideas please do let me know)

"Maybe you can tell her to sit down."
Dimitri arrived right as the door to the house swung open and the handle slammed into the wall making him cringe at the sound of the wood buckling to the fury of the petite and normally demure Liri who stormed out with her nose in the air and her child squealing in delight at the chaos that had erupted, on her hip.
"Dontcha come back here lookin for no super later either girl" Xixa yelled after her oldest "Ungrateful child, s'what I get for sleepin' with a Seeker." That was another cringe that made the Sharlayan clear his throat to try and hide the words alas it was too late and after one more burst of rage off ran Liri in tears while the wee one babbled happily and waved its little hand at Dimitri over Liri's shoulder.
"Again?" This had been the last few visits to the Loonsi House. He had arrived each time on the cusp of yet another arguement.
"Again" Xixa replied, voice colored with a rather noticeable irritability. "Thinks she knows everything that one. Well don't stand in the yard Sonny. Ain't gettin' any younger neither of us."
Carefully the giant stepped through the door made for Miqo'te and then turned to examine the damage to the wall where the door handle had hit. For a young woman Dimitri had found himself wondering if Liri had super strength a few times now, her ability to damage things, far greater that someone her size should have been able to pull off.
"What happened?" The words were soft and kind with just a bit of a rumble to them that often sounded like a moving storm, kneeling down he ran his hand along the wall checking first for an indent and the secondly for any slivers or shards that could harm someone who came in contact with the door.
"The usual, girl has her knickers in a bunch because I went outside." The tapping of a cane filled the Sharlayan's ears and his head turned to find the Miqo'te nearly at his side already.
"She ain't aether sensitive like me and her Sisters. Took after her Father she did. Not a whole lot of Aether of her own but what she does have is thick and strong. Tough for her to understand I can see even though I'm blind."
Rising to his feet he moved closer and rested a hand on his mentors arm, she looked more tired than usual and her hair was pulled up into a bun that exposed her moon-like face making her look far younger than he thought she was due to the long grey streak of hair that rested along her right cheek and then spilled down her robes.
"Hmm I was wondering how similar your talent was to Y'shtola Rhul. Had a chance to hear her speak once or perhaps it was more yell? Quite the impressive woman really and quite blind. Her eyes glow like your however, alas I could not get closer to meet her. She was arguing with members of the Forum." Something that was not new to those who live in Sharlayan, the memory bringing a smile to his lips.
"Not quite. Shtola's gifts are stronger than mine. While both of us had rather scary expierences that woke them, her turns learning with her fancy mentor makes her far more advanced than me, not to mention the time in Sharlayan learning as well. Did you know she is younger than me, about ten turns perhaps twelve? She is a Keeper as well." Xixa cracked a smile showing off the very notable Keeper fangs. "Lot of gifted Witches and Sorceresses are. Only thing better are some of the lalafell you find at the Ossuary in Ul'dah."
Dimitri couldn't help but chuckle at the pride in her voice. She loved being a Keeper and it was apparent when she spoke about those who had been extraordinarily successful on their path. "I would have thought you were younger."
The words slipped out of his mouth and sounded perhaps a little charming, before he started to cough from how forward and flirty they felt, something he was just not good at in any way. In fact he could not figure out for the life of him how he had caught Laurent's attention with how bad his flirting was.
Xixa barked a laugh "Flattery will get you everywhere Sonny. Best way to get a woman in your bed is to pay them a compliment like that." She said it so quickly that at first it didn't register between his long ears, his mind still occupied with thoughts of Y'shtola but once his brain sped up from a good few moments of a fantasy he let out a strangled sound then sputtered like a defective piece of magitek.
"Xixa!" He choked out as his ears flushed only to be met with the Keepers cackling, it was a sound that was both eerie and attractive at the same time. "I am about to be a married man. I would never, I could never." And out came his well known seriousness which made Xixa groan.
"Too bad I wouldn't mind a couple of Elezen in my bed. Rather found of Elezen. My, hmm friend with benefits? Is that how you kids say it? " the smile on her face had grown wicked and spread from pointy ear to pointy ear, making him blush even more. She knew what she was doing and she was enjoying herself a little too much in Dimitri's mind.
"Xixa you are my mentor I do not need to hear about your sex life!" He protested as he focused on turning the temperature down on his face. "Besides you know I do not have sexual relationships with women." He cleared his throat then took a deep breathe trying to steel his nerves again.
"Right I could hear your cock when it sprung to life thinking about Shtola. Don't worry, I won't tell no one Sonny but you might want to watch that conversation. Fastest I've even felt a man get hard."
"XIXA!!" He yelped out mortified at how relaxed she was about sex in general. Let alone her teasing him about it. There was no doubt in his mind that if he looked in a mirror right now he would be as red as a Rolanberry.
"HA!" She called back, her cane tapping on the hardwood floor again. "Let's get some tea, then you can tell me why you stopped by. Don't smack that thing on the furniture while you walk. The aether signature is very noticeable. Never seen one quite so big."
"XIXA STOP" it was too late, however, in the time he had taken to yell again, she had already disappeared into the kitchen her cackle still spilling from her lips and echoing down the hall.
