unbirthday indeed

[wonderofwonders]

WHO: LiliS (friends welcome too)
WHERE: LiliS
WHEN: Day 495

[She's a little late but it's fine-- at least there's no more weird forced obedience.

We're having a tea party here at LiliS to celebrate the successful win of playing safe even if it was less fun than whatever the heck HSS and friends were doing.

And since she had time it's a whole Wonderland party in here. Tea and snacks for LiliS (and friends).]

You're not alone in that. [ Gent's wearing a quite wet t-shirt and linen slacks because he was in the middle of weaving some wood baskets and if you stop in the middle it dries and cracks. Persi failed to mention there was an Occasion! ]

And here I was going to bring tea to your unit later on.

[happydreamed]

Ah, I suppose I needn't have brought my own tea, but I did so want to spoil your unit today.

[Even if that means bringing tea to the plant unit.]

[stoneandstave]

[ He looks confused for a flash, but it melts back into his warm smile. ]

A gift is never amiss, even if it's something one already has. And there are so many kinds of tea, the one you've brought we might not grow in our gardens.

[happydreamed]

Indeed. I'm sure Zhongli would receive your teas with appreciation, even though we have quite a stockpile at this point.

[Half the unit is tea enthusiasts now.]

[stoneandstave]

Luckily I'm also bringing some fresh produce! [ Hence the basket ] I did promise to meet him under better circumstances than the flower game.

[happydreamed]

Ah, indeed. I was lucky enough to miss that one myself - that isn't the way I'd prefer to have wings again, truly.

[stoneandstave]

[ Ah. Some definite sympathy. ] Changing our bodies is one of the crueler things they do.

Are you not human, then? Or just a variety with improvements?

[happydreamed]

Some sort of dragon, it seems? In my memories I have horns and wings.

[stoneandstave]

Oh? [ That is interesting, in a way non-humans typically aren't because he feels used to most varieties. Not dragons. ]

[ One good turn deserves another I want credit for this phrase being on theme, so: ]

Based on what evidence I have, I seem to be one of the Fae. Or Faerie, if you must. [ He does not like the latter term much but it seems to be more familiar to some. ] I'm not sure how I've been altered yet, but it reasons that I must be.

[happydreamed]

Ah, is that so? You would be the first I've met. 'Tis quite an honor.

[stoneandstave]

And I think you would be the first dragon I've met! At least this is the first time I've been surprised. So -- likewise.

It truly is a shame that they've taken your wings and horns. I'd like to see them one they're properly returned.

[happydreamed]

I have been considering whether I could buy them from the points shop...

[what does magic bodymod actually cover, really]

[stoneandstave]

It seems worth a shot, the worst they can say is no and you'll have lost nothing but some further time spent being irritated with Production, a resource which I imagine is in high abundance.

There's a case to be made, if there's any way to make a case, that it's cruel to be able to regain arms and legs and eyes, and not other limbs and features. Very human-centered.

[happydreamed]

If not that, then the only other way I know of is through corruptions, but those aren't exactly on demand.

[stoneandstave]

That's unfortunate. But for your sake I'll hope you manage to get exactly the corruptions you want with no odd additions.

Even given all the options we have here, there are still some frustrating limits.

[happydreamed]

Indeed there are. To be expected from Hell, I suppose.

[stoneandstave]

Nothing for it but to make the most of it, I imagine. So let us speak of more pleasant matters, shall we?

What is it you do for fun, here?

[happydreamed]

Me? I enjoy a walk in the park, or have tea with my unit. Now and then I visit the library to lose myself in reading for a bit.

[stoneandstave]

The park is lovely indeed. The trees are very friendly. [ Personifying trees isn't weird at all! ]

[happydreamed]

Indeed? Do they speak to you?

[since, like, fae.]
