Prompt 2 :

Travelers are seldom seen in the same place twice, having the entire universe and then some to explore. Experts in time travel, as well as dimensional travel, they dedicate their lives to studying the various differences between worlds. The Travelers Guild was established so long ago no one quite knows exactly how old it is, it's creation almost as unknown as that of the doorknobs. A guild house is located in most larger cities, though their whereabouts are only known to the travelers themselves and whatever government/patriarchy rules over said cities. These guild houses are used for corroborating information gathered by various travelers into a comprehensible Dimensional Atlas, a very large and extremely long book used to sort out history and allow different dimensions a way to contact and request things from others. Ezylryn, though still relatively young, is a rather experienced traveler who focuses on information gathering. With a keen eye for the smallest of details, their information comes at a pretty penny. Very rarely do they take on shipment requests, sticking to free exploration and the occasional scientific gathering quest. Ezylryn doesn't want to involve themselves in inter dimensional politics, as things can get quite messy sometimes and they'd rather stay out of any unnecessary trouble. Along with their self, Ezylryn brings along a rather nicely crafted dagger and their trusted satchel, which they were given by their mentor upon graduating and becoming a real traveler.

Inside of their satchel, Ezylryn carries several tools for their travels.

Image

When traveling through time and space, one's most valued tool would be the Dimensional Doorknob. An ancient relic passed down by travelers from generation to generation, no one knows exactly what makes it work. There's also only about 1000 in existence, though most have been lost in time and about 100 were destroyed in attempts to study them to make more. Holding it up to any surface and reciting the proper incantation causes the knob to attach to said surface and a door to be carved out of it. A traveler may then open the door and step through to the other side, which will be wherever the entered destination, time, date, and dimension is.

Image

Almost as valuable would be the Spatial Sextant, a precision tool used to calculate the trajectory a traveler must take between two points in time and space. Without it, a traveler would open a door to who-knows-where. With the possibilities literally being endless, it can be quite dangerous taking a blind trip. Unlike the knob, the sextant was created by later travelers after much trial and error and expansive mathematical analysis. The output values are much like coordinates used on earth, just much longer considering all the variables going into it. Time, date, and dimension listed in that order, followed by planetary space, planet, land mass/body of water/air space, and the exact location. (T:T.D-M-Y.DI.PS.P.L/W/A.X-Y-Z) The output must be included in the incantation exactly as calculated.

Image

If they're not on Ezylryn's head, their Glancing Goggles can be found in their satchel as well. These lucrative goggles are almost as rare as the doorknobs. Used primarily by travelers, then the wealthy few, these goggles allow the wearer to see their own time space coordinates. This let's travelers easily make sure they ended up in the correct location. Another feature, only known to the traveler community, is that one can input local data for the location at hand, allowing the wearer to also see city/state/province/country names.

Image

Most people would wonder where a traveler may reside, where they would call home, considering they're always on the move. A Residential Reticule is a must have for travelers, originally made for merchants and wealthy nobles these pouches aren't what they seem. The magic used on them is powerful and complex, creating a small pocket dimension in which anything can be stored. That includes the traveler themselves. At first, the pouch will only have one space like a bare room to store things, but with money comes power and you can upgrade your pouch to the point of having an entire castle interior. Most larger towns have inns which accept reticule patronage, often times having a well secured room for people to store their pouches while sleeping in them. Ezylryn has kept their reticule at a cozy size, much like a cottage with a living room, a small kitchen, a bedroom, and an expanding treasure room. (If you know what this is originally from I love you)

Image

A common problem travelers face is where to safely store their reticules when in the wild. Albeit impractical in larger cities, as anyone with enough magical knowledge can disarm them, Sigil Stones are a perfect countermeasure against pouch theft and ambushes by wild animals. When placed in a circle and with the proper incantation used, these stones form a bubble-like forcefield around the designated area within. Other than air, nothing can pass through the barrier. While Ezylryn carries six to ten around at a time, the more stones you use the larger and/or stronger the forcefield becomes. Some trading companies use over a hundred to protect their caravans at night.

Image

Ezylryn keeps track of all the places they've traveled within their Travelers Tome. Past journals fill the bookshelves of their room. Records of every coordinate they've travelled to, filled with sketches of local flora and fauna, notes on the climate, geography, and any intelligent life. Some pages are filled with recounts of Ezylryn's various encounters and adventures. Exploring the locational or timely civilizations, cataloguing ruins and artifacts they've obtained, run-ins with local wildlife. Small notes fill any empty space that was left, quips about food they've tried or the weather at the time. Samples of flora are sandwiched between some pages, leaving dried leaves and flowers to be found by Ezylryn later.

Image

Various Inscription Instruments litter their satchel, when grabbing something odds are a pen or pencil is coming out with it. Ezylryn tries to procure a writing utensil from every civilization they visit, paint brushes, pens, pencils, chalk, paints, inks, and everything in between. Unfortunately they can't keep every one in their satchel, so they usually retire the associated tools when they finish exploring a place. Almost every note taken was done so with a unique instrument. Retired instruments are stored in small containers and jars, strewn about their reticule cottage. They do keep one infinipen on hand just in case their destination has no intelligent life. Only then are notes taken in a consistent manner.

This is literally amazing ( O w O)

Name : Calypso
Prompt 1 or 2 : 2


°∴,*⋅✲═════〖✰〗═════✲⋅*,∴°







Image

Calypso's bag lays half open in the snow, as he drowsily lays above it, nestled between branches of an oak tree. It was a long flight for what little he gained out of the trip, and it was time for a rest within the wintery grove of pine, oak, and birch just outside of Daybite Hollow he had just visited. As he drifted off to sleep, a small mouse began rummaging through his bag.


Image

A bag of various crystals of many colors and shapes... from a shop in his sleepy hollow.

Image

A letter on thick splotchy yellow paper wrapped tight with a red ribbon... that Calypso wrote for someone important, ready for delivery.

Image

A book with a hard red cover with the letters "CXI" engraved in gold... That he found on a shelf in a tiny bookstore.

Image

Bags with herbs, all wrapped in little bundles... some from a shop back home in his sleepy hollow, others from his garden.

Image

A little bag of seeds, which the mouse quickly pulled from the bag and scurried off with... that he bought for his garden at home.


Calypso had spent the day in Daybite Hollow, a Tatsumon village hidden far north known for being one of the first locations Tatsumon settled after being quite migratory. He had struggled to get to Daybite Hollow, it had been far below freezing with strong winds and heavy snow, tall trees and huge mountains. When he arrived after following after a potential lead in his on going quest, that ended up being a dead end. Though while he was there, he took the time to explore after the weather settled down, and came across a small bookstore, though their stock was limited to second hand books which sat on a delicate wooden shelf with spirals and flowers carved into the supports. The few that were left seemed to have sat there for years, covered in a layer of dust. Calypso blew off the layer of dust on a book with a little bird on the cover, and swiped the dust off another with his wing that had a "Sweetness and Gold" written on the cover. He wiped, swiped, and blew off the dust off the rest of the books until he came across one that had "CXI" written on the cover in gold. He opened the first page to find it was written in a familiar cipher, one he had only seen a few times while working on finding the answer to a question that has been forever unsolved.

---

His crystals and herbs were two things he constantly kept on him, insisting they helped with way finding as he refused to keep a map on him. "It's too bulky and it's too much to stop to look at when I'm on the go" he would argue whenever one asked. Something about the vibrations they gave off as he flew, though there were times they didn't work, as any nonscientific thing does (according to an old friend of his). Though Calypso swears there's a method to the madness.

His crystal bag contains:
~ Green adventurine, for favorable outcomes
~ Amethyst and flourite for wisdom
~ Labadorite for protection
~ Hematite for grounding
~ sometimes more depending on the day

Compared to his paw sized crystal bag, his herb bag is always much bigger. He has two different ones, a smaller one for when he is just traveling, and a larger one around the size of his regular bag when he is traveling to sell them. You'll never know what he might have any given day, his bundles always change depending on his mood.

    Name: Lionel
    Prompt 1:

    As the resident courier-in-training, Lionel only ever delivered letters during the warmer months. It was confusing enough learning the common places to send letters flying through the skies without having speckles of white obscuring his eyesight, or at least that is what Lionel heard from more experienced couriers. He has never personally seen snow and has only ever lived in temperate conditions, but he believes them one hundred percent. The first snow will be gentle and delicate, like the fluff from catkins in the spring, but each one is unique! They do get everywhere in their fur and their feathers though. Lionel made sure to mentally make notes as they talked about snow as well as noting what he should pack for his first winter trip.

    When Lionel is sent to a northern village one day to deliver a bundle of letters, that is exactly what happened. The first snowfall was so light and drifted so slowly, he was able to catch a few on his tongue. Catching a few snowflakes on his feathers, he saw that some did have six crystalline points. Even more exciting, there were also ones with two sides, some were misshaped and a little less definition, but they were still nice, to say the least. He looped through the sky and felt the snowflakes kiss his cheeks as he flew by them.

    ---


    Lionel was really starting to think that the couriers forgot to tell the rest of their story about snow. He took a break for lunch as the snow was still lightly falling all around him, but by the time he was back up in the air, snow was falling in droves. The weight was less like a pile of fluff and more like the wool of a sheep that has not been sheared in years.

    For his first winter flight, he made sure to be prepared-ish. He made sure to bring flying goggles so the snow wouldn't get into his eyes. In hindsight, Lionel has a bit of an advantage compared to other tatsumon. The snow slid right off Lionel's back and drifted behind him without the backmane collecting snow to drag him down but it also meant that he had a little less fur to keep him warm. The faster he could fly the less time he can spend being cold though!

    When he touched down in the village, it seemed that others gave him a very wide berth. The post office took one look at him and guffawed. Lionel could see why they were so surprised, he was tracking a serious amount of water with the snow that was melting off. He was escorted into a room to rest and freshen up. With the long trip, he made sure to pack his feather oil to make sure his wings were pristine for the flight back.

    When that was taken care of, he pulled the letters out of his bag and slotted them away into their proper mailboxes. The last delivery was a package and he pulled out his notebook for the recipient to sign and the head postal master to stamp that Lionel's trip was successfully over.

    Later that night, there was a lot of talk among the village. While it is not the villager's first snow, it was surely their first snow seeing a phantom flying through the sky. They would whisper about seeing large black eyes and a pale face as they were going about their evenings in the forest. Rumours sprung up that night unbeknownst to Lionel who ended the trip with hot mocha for the job well done.
