At the very edge of all within the fog’s boundaries of the world’s edge, a shrine built at the exact boundary of one side of the fog, on top of a sheer cliff covered in water. The water falls below, in grey rapids, disappearing into the fog. Other than the rapids, the water is still. A the large shrine is crumbling, yet from within glows a warm red light. Surrounding it are steep, thin cliffs, covered in statues and odd memories, homages to the goddesses. The only way to get to the shrine is by a single pathway, a long bridge that spans the journey. The high cliffs surrounding everything else, almost closing the area in like a cave, contain countless memories of others who had made their jouney to the world’s edge.
The main location is where all those with the LONGING BLESSING start out at. At this moment those with the LONGING Blessing can only stay and mingle in locations within the World's Edge.
gaia_crown[ MAIN LOCATION ]:
gaia_star Within the World's Edge The Main Hub the World's Edge is an abandoned temple. It has seen better days, now overtaken by decay, marble pillars and pedestals reduced to fragments and rubble. At the most, it is a platform, a larger one, that is nested between two sheer cliffs on either side, surrounded by water and the roar of a waterfall that is barely visible through the fog in the distance. There is a thin, broken path that cuts through the quickly moving water either way, leading to the boat graveyard or the fountains on the other side.
OOC: Main Longing thread RP happens HERE in this thread. This includes mingling and chatting with others. Remember as it can get busy in a thread, to QUOTE other players when talking to them! You may also visit the sub locations for quieter areas to rp!
Outside the temple itself, the fog moves quickly, and so does the water. It is best to watch one's step as to not get swept away by the deceitful calm-looking rapids, and move from one location to the other with deliberation.
gaia_crown[ The Shrine ]
gaia_star The Shrine : The shrine door is an opening that lies at the base of the World's Edge temple. It leads to the shared Shrine space where the Goddesses summon all for their Tasks. This place should not be ignored.
gaia_crown[ Sub Locations ]
gaia_star [ The Moon Pool ]: A pavilion of cracked marble and twisted column sits quietly in the shadow of the Spirals. At its center lies a still, black pool circled by several marble benches. Each of the sub-pools lying around it have odd fragments in them, items, perhaps memories of a past long forgotten.
OOC: You may visit this sub location if you rolled for LONGING for this character to RP in as well as a change of setting. There are items you can interact in this location, but that thread's primary focus is also RP!
gaia_crown[ Sub Tasks/ Quest locations ]
[ The Aether Cliffs ]: These cliffs are vast and steep. It easily goes up several hundred feet. Half built and broken structures can be seen going up against them. They don't look particularly sturdy, looking as if someone had built them in a hurry. Something hums within it though, promising another fragment of power, a small blessing, perhaps.
[ The Sacred Flight ]: The steep cliffs of the World's Edge are dotted with curiosities - statues, remains, fragments of things that were probably once wonderful. However, at one overlook that offers an excellent view of the eternal falls, you find something different. A small shed, decorated with avian totems, encloses a number of white gliders in the shape of stylized birds, clearly old yet in excellent condition. Something hums within it though, promising another fragment of power, a small blessing, perhaps.
OOC: You may visit quest locations (task locations) to try for minor (achievement) Blessings. You may try for ANY of these quest locations once per 24 hours! If you successfully complete one, you may choose one of the achievements in the end, record it in your Heart Log, as well as post for the free raffle.

Around the city are FRAGMENTS
They are not very obvious, but they glow with their own light, entirely harmless. Touching a fragment makes them echo a strange thing, a phrase, a few words, a name. It doesn't sound familiar at all, but the lingering effect of the fragment remains. You feel a little warmer after touching one.
Fragments float around, in places that are extremely cluttered and dark. They like to light the way in these areas, though they bear no malevolence. They glow, like everything else, a warm grey.
OOC: PICKING UP A FRAGMENT
gaia_crown[ Picking up a fragment ]
- Fragments looked like floating orbs of light in crystal shapes. They are slightly tiny, and unobtrusive, but also evasive. Picking up one requires some work. - Roll 1d6 to try to pick up a fragment. If you roll even you are successful. You can try as many times as you'd like! - Each time you pick up a fragment successfully you hear something. A phrase, a few words, a name. It doesn't sound familiar at all. It is a past memory of your character. If your character is a quest or doesn't have too much back history, you can make a quick one up for them. But it is only a FEW WORDS. The words don't have much meaning. Your character DOES NOT linger on those words. They have no reason to.
Soon enough, Nush found himself in a new place. This place was a complete mess, from the looks of things. It was broken down, and it seemed like nothing had lived here for quite some time. With a hint of caution, he began to move his way around, trying to see what was here. The first thing he noticed were these little crystals littered all around.
Slowly, he tilted his head and approached one. It vanished before he could get too close.
With a furrowed brow, he looked about. There certainly was no shortage of them, however. Somehow.. this would help shape him. Somehow..

As if she had only blinked, Arsenic was in a new place. She looked around warily at the broken down and battered temple. She cautiously stepped over a pillar, climbing on top of it for a vantage point off the flat ground. The water was almost too faint to be noticed, only a low rumble that added to the deliciously creepy air around them.
A glint of light caught her eye before all else. She eyed the little floating orb, sliding off the pillar she'd climbed on to, and snatched it up. The moment her fingers graced the orb, she faltered, eyes sliding closed.
It is in your best interestto play along--
Arsenic shook off the words and pocketed her orb, looking around. "Hello?" She called, her voice echoing in the archaic temple. "... Is anyone out there?"

Being here was...odd. Imuiel wasn't quite sure what to think of this place yet, with its almost-ruins and the statues littering the landscape. There were small fragments of--well, something floating around, and he hesitantly reached out for one, only to fall incredibly short of it. He guessed that he wasn't used to the concept of seeing enough to judge the distance between himself and the shard, though the fog could very well have had an effect; for now, he wasn't particularly concerned. It was only a fragment, nothing more. While he would have liked to obtain more information, he decided that he could wait until one that he was absolutely sure he could get a firm grip on drifted by.
He could faintly detect hearts in the area as well--he wasn't quite sure where they were just yet, but there was a definite feeling. Should he attempt to find their owners? Hm. For the moment, Imuiel was entirely content to simply stay where he was; that was quickly rethought as the fog shifted, and he began to make his way towards a better vantage point atop the broken back of a fallen statue. Perhaps he could spot a closer fragment from here...

Something about this new place seemed nice; right. For the moment, at least. She could see other vague figures lingering, each with the same pulse as she could feel within herself. Blue.
Only at the center, though. The rest was just grey.
A little glimmer caught her eye, fingers extending into the darkness as she turned, trying to catch it...
She caught it, a delighted smile on her lips that faded only at the odd words she heard whispered to her... Red skies at night...

She could feel the glimmers but no one responded, not yet. It suited her well enough, though she wasn't sure why this particular knowledge was a comfort. Spotting another glimmering light in the distance, she ran after it. But the distance proved to be her undoing; it flickered out of existance before she could snatch it up.
She paused in her new location, a few meters from her pillar of protection, and looked around, squinting. Hm.

Once more the shade reached, and once more she failed, fingers just barely missing their mark. Shadowed brow furrowed over dull eyes and she shook her head before turning. If that shard, that glimmer, was going to insist on being difficult... She would simply find another.
Perhaps it was not the one that she was looking for; the thing that she felt that push to find.
A soft wisp of a sigh parted her lips as she turned to make her way carefully across the rubble. There were other corners, other crevices; so many places to explore... "Hello?"

Instinct was hard to come by when memories were of no consequence. Shasa drifted aimlessly about the area, what little instinct she had pulling her from one spot to the next. She was looking for something - what it was, she didn't know, but Shasa had to trust that when she came upon it the instincts that she clung to would show her the way.
There were voices - or perhaps just a singular voice - but she did not respond.

Others were around now, and it seemed that they too were trying to pick these things up. It was all the more reason for him to be doing this, he supposed. However, as Nush approached, he found that the crystal would vanish once more.

Another glimmer caught her eye, the faintest shimmer of something just beyond her reach. She tried again, putting a bit of her heart into it... And missed.
Still not enough. Further down, perhaps. Closer to the darkness; in the shadows where there was no light to touch. Would they be clearer to see there? Easier to find there?

A voice? He'd heard it, faintly. His head turned to the direction he hoped the source was, tilting slightly as he considered it. This proved to be lucky for him, as a shard danced right in front of his face, an easy capture for the shapeless being to hold.
A song in a harsher tongue, flowing and crackling with an odd energy. It was only for a moment, but a spark was ignitied, and he felt more...solid, somehow.
As another voice joined the first, he cleared his throat, wondering what he'd sound like. He'd never spoken before, after all--it was exciting, learning what voice he would have. Would it be the same as the one in his head? In fact, how did he even have that one if he hadn't heard himself? He could ponder that later, after he'd answered.
"Hhhrkh--" Oh dear, that was an unfortunate noise. Certainly not what you wanted to hear for your first audible sound. After a moment of collecting himself again, the tall shape drew himself up once more, looking back and forth between where he thought the speakers were. "I am...here. Somewhat." Well now, he could accept that. Somewhat deep, but not terribly so. Imuiel sounded quite pleasant, if he said so himself--which he hadn't, verbally, but the thought was there. "Oh yes. Yes, I agree with myself." he muttered, letting out a small chuckle that lasted only a moment due to the surprise at such a noise. What other noises could he make--? Experimenting with such things seemed...inappropriate right now. Perhaps later.

((Fragments: 1/5))
Another glimmer sent Arsenic running at it, trying to snatch the little orb before it disappeared. But as before, she barely brushed it before the orb disappeared out of her view. She scowled a little and looked around. There were others, now, trying to get the orbs just as badly as she was.
She was not going to let them.

This time she did not try to grab it. Instead, the shade watched the shard, trying to 'feel' it as she could 'feel' the other hearts around her. Did it have a heart? Did it want to be found? Was it what she was looking for?
Raedala held out her hand, watching... Waiting...
At the last moment, right when the shard seemed like it might fade, she reached out to snatch it. "Ha!"
