baldrshand: looking up at a looming dracoknight (When silent the silence comes closer.)

Blood is stickier than water

Who: Ethlyn and Ye
Where: Mostly around the Willow Clinic but potentially anywhere in Aldrip.
What: Open log for Ethlyn's glitches! As a result of the state of things, images of Ethlyn's brother Sigurd, husband Quan, daughter Altena, and/or her son Leif will be showing up around her.
Warnings: Sigurd is literally on fire.
Note: For each prompt, you'll be interacting with that person from Ethlyn's life for a bit before she actually arrives to the thread. However, since they're glitches and not the real thing, it will be a bit like interacting with an NPC in a video game. After a while Ethlyn will show up herself, since these glitches revolve around her.



I. Brother

[Sigurd is visible first by his light.

He's on fire. Strangely, he does not seem to be behaving like a man being immolated. Instead, the pain he is in seems to be emotional--his head clasped between his hands, face twisted in grief and rage. His majestic sword fallen on the ground in front of him.]


How did this happen... how could I not have seen?

II. Husband

[You turn the corner to see a tall, handsome brunet dressed in dark finery. He's holding a spear of uncommon quality and style.

The look on his face is one of supreme self-confidence.]


Hail there! You should be careful wandering around. This place seems quite dangerous if you're unarmed.

III. Daughter

[You don't see Altena first--you see the shadow of her wyvern, a magnificent green-scaled beast that towers over her. Resting on her shoulder is an equally magnificent spear.

Her magnificent chestnut hair frames a face that resembles her mother Ethlyn quite closely, save for the brown eyes. Those look up at her dragon sadly.]


I wish you could tell me what I should do now.

IV. Son

[Leif is the spitting image of his father Quan, but not quite the same--younger, not grown into his full height, a little softer with the features he's inherited from Ethlyn.

And the expression on his face couldn't be more different. Although his face belongs to a fifteen-year-old, his eyes are so much older.]


What are you doing? It's not safe to be out here on your own!
