Finished [Stonewall Town] (Caelia Barony) Reveal Thy Innards!

[Elvario]

This RP is part of the Isekai Hell setting. It is currently not open to be joined.

What to expect out of character:
The RP will keep a lenient pace of anywhere between daily and a maximum of weekly, depending on what's possible The RP isn't meant to last (much) longer than a month. It'll be a chill slice of life with the focus of 'Blacksmithing' on Teuihua.

What to expect in character:
Having found odd crystals at the Magic Tower and the Interdimensional Apple tree that seemed to somehow react to Teuihua, Regula and him decide that trying to 'reveal his innards' in order to see if they notice anything that might explain some things is worthwhile. A certain barony knight ends up learning of it and wishes to join in. Alister offers to assist.

When joining, please let me know the following things in your first post:
1 ) Any specific achievements/goals your character would have within the overall goal of the RP, such as trying to increase standing with a certain faction or obtaining a certain item/asset. So long as it doesn't diverge too much, I'll see what I can do to include it.
2 ) Any point boosters the character might have. (Attentive Student, Mentor, Devour, Narrative Booster, etc.).
3 ) Any [Wanted] or criminal titles your character might have. (Note, some city or guild-related settings will make entry for criminals considerably more difficult and would need discussion pre-joining.)
4 ) Any Buddy Skills, Masterwork Skills or Complex Assets your character might have.

Tag and character goal:
Elvario Regula Caelia – Reveal Teuihua's innards.
TheTimePiece Teuihua – Get his innards revealed.
Megilagor Alister Marrok – Assist the Baroness.

Regula sighed deeply. The recent drama in Sootspire was still weighing her down. The fact the mysterious tower and apple tree hadn't been 'resolved' fully, especially regarding those odd crystals, didn't help either. All in all, she was feeling rather down. That said, perhaps they would at least learn something.

“Are you sure about this?” She'd ask Teuihua, as they were at her forge. Trying to 'open up' one of her closest friends was a very, very weird idea. Yet it might give them a clue as to what had happened with those crystals and if they should expect more, seeing how they'd reacted to him previously.

Alister had been allowed to join in, though he'd have noticed the baroness was horrible at taking care of herself when under stress, seeing how she'd had very little sleep and her eating habits were down to only the the utmost necessary ever since what had occurred at Sootspire.

Finally, someone else had arrived.

“Is it trueth? Wilt thou revealeth thy innards!?!” She came running into the forge, asking Teuihua. Only afterwards recalling procedure. “Baroness, thou areth greeteth!” She'd say, saluting.

Teuihua felt pretty ready to let Regula open him up. They already had prior conversations where she suggested doing possible work on him for the purposes of upgrades and he wasn't particularly opposed to the idea, particularly now that he had gotten much closer to her subsequently.

And if not solely for the purpose of upgrading, there might be something new to learn from opening him up, particularly pertaining to the crystals which were seemingly from his time that kept appearing places, that and the other oddities around Sootspire which appeared from time to time.

The whole thing made Teuihua wonder if Sootspire didn't used to have something more prolifically Mictlantecuhtlian related on the very same ground possibly thousands of years ago, as that might explain why such oddities were present at least to an extent. It wasn't unreasonable to Teuihua that it was possible even if he hadn't seen much evidence beyond what they'd seen so far.

When Regula asked him if he was sure, Teuihua nodded.

"Regula Caelia, now that my original creators are probably long gone in their lives, you are most certainly the remaining person alive who I am most comfortable doing this sort of work on me. I trust not only your abilities, but you as a person on a sincere and deep level."

"In addition I recall we discussed the possibility of some work being done prior and I was open to the notion, nevertheless I do appreciate you asking me again to make sure I am still comfortable with the idea."

By the time Ethel came in, Teuihua gave her a friendly wave.

"It would appear so, if the Baroness is fine with you being here while she works, I personally have no objections to you seeing my "innards' as you put it, Ethel." Teuihua responded in a fairly warm tone.

"I just hope that they live up to your expectations." Teuihua added light heartedly, given how it had been a topic which Ethel had brought up frequently for a period of time when it came to him, in wanting to see his innards.

“That is a high level of trust you put in me, I appreciate it.” She'd genuinely thank Teuihua. “The feeling is also mutual, so I hope I can do this well.” She'd rather not betray his trust. “Naturally.” She'd reply to the idea she'd ask for reconfirmation.

As for Ethel. “You're welcome, but don't get in the way. Keep your distance, as this might get complicated otherwise.” She'd warn the knight.

To that extend, she wondered how to even start. “I'm afraid my work-bench is far too small, so if you'd just lie down besides it?” She'd ask. Operating on him whilst he was standing would be a sure no-go with his size. Putting him next to her work-bench was the next-best thing. On that note, she started putting some tools on it to have them on-hand. “I don't assume you know how to actually open up, so to say? I don't see any obvious screws, bolts or latches. Either they're hidden or it's some mechanism I've yet to find out. Or, well, worst case, I'd have to break through and reforge you, which I'd honestly not like having to do.”

“I shalth neigh cometh closeth!” The knight promised. “However, Teuihuath hath thou innards containeth foul evileth monstereth spirits for thee innards to require to be purgeth?” It seemed the knight wasn't entirely sure what this was all about.

Teuihua gave Regula a nod. "It makes me happy to hear you say that." He responded with a warm tone, when she mentioned the feeling was mutual. " And I am certain you are more than capable."

He would have smiled if he were capable of it, when she mentioned that Ethel could stay.

"Oh of course." Teuihua then promptly, as gently as he could got down so that he was prone, trying not to damage the floor with his shifting weight and material pressing up against it, balancing his form to the best of his ability while he did so.

When she asked if Teuihua knew how to open up, his mind just sort of..wandered back as he went into thought..it had been a very long time after all, he hadn't seen his original creators in many years who had worked on him, even after being operational for many years so it was..doubly many years since he had been worked on at all as far as he knew, lest someone did it when he was in stasis and he didn't know.

What he did recall when he thought back to the distant bit of data, was that they definitely said something in Mictlantecuhtlian before they worked on him like that. "If..I recall, they readied their tools at my front and said.. +Creator of those of metal, stone, and wood, may you guide us in our work so that through our work may we respect you and carry on your wishes.+"

"What I also seem to remember is that those words were said to only work if the person doing them was a skillful enough Mictlantecuhtlian crafts person who was in good enough favor with the Mictlantecuhtlian divine being of constructs."

"We've had stranger things happen between Ringo and other incidents, so perhaps it is worth trying to say the words." Teuihua figured it was better than trying to open him up manually and then have to reforge him if it could be avoided.

Teuihua let out a bit of what could be interpreted as a chuckle at Ethel's dialogue.

"I certainly hope that is not the case Ethel, that would be rather unfortunate to find out now, but I suppose if I'm opened up and some monsterous spirits come out It'll be excellent that you'll be here to vanquish them."

"What I also wanted to say was, how have you been? It has been awhile since we last spoke much."

Alister knew Lady Regula Caelia had an appointment with her dear friend Teuihua, and he knew that the baroness was horrible about the topic of taking care of herself when under stress. The little amount of sleep and extremely poor eating habits in the lady activated Alister's almost non-existent parental instincts. Knowing that and the fact that the quest was over Alister went to make some chamomile and mint tea along with some simple sweets with nuts and honey, to supplement some of the nutrients that that his lady probably missed under the pressure of stress.

After making the two things teapot, a plate of cookies, and a few teacups on a metal carrier plate, and began his move from the kitchens down to the room where Lady Regula Caelia and her quest Teihua were supposed to be, upon reaching the door he knocked a few times on the door before opening it. "I am sorry milady Caelia, Sir Teuihua, and to you Ethel for being a bit late. I thought some tea and biscuits would be a nice compliment to the meeting even if it is to be enjoyed after the procedure, or during it."

Having said that Alister moved to a nearby table and placed the carrier plate onto it, of course, he first made sure the table didn't hold any tools that might be needed and that it wouldn't be in the way of the procedure. "I hope me being here isn't concerning to you Teuihua. My curiosity did get the better of me. After all even where I lived constructs were extremely rare, even more so if they weren't the silver knights."

Alister took one teacup and poured the fresh tea inside of it, before walking up and giving it to Ethel, while asking. "But if I may ask what was that talk about foul evil monsters inside of you Teihua, since if that is the case. Then you might have some connections with the silver knights I know, though they were giant armors made of steel and silver with runes, machinery, and mangled corpses of angels inside, magically bound together into one being and programmed to protect areas or people."

Regula resisted a 'way to put up the pressure' commend when Teuihua told her she was more than capable. She'd only hope he was right.

“Right... Let's see if I'm [Chosen] enough for that to work.” She'd nod, as she'd ready her tools and repeated the phrase. “+Creator of those of metal, stone, and wood, may you guide us in our work so that through our work may we respect you and carry on your wishes.+”

She was surprised by Alister's arrival. “Ah, come on in.” She'd look at the tea. The scent was pretty tantalising. As was his tail. Yet she had a task to do at the moment. “Worst case, we can reheat the tea near the forge. I think. For now, I fear I'll have to focus.” She'd state, as she waited to see what was going to happen, hoping she was actually 'allowed' to open op Teuihua the easy way.

“Silver knights?” She asked, a tad curious.

“I shalth taketh careth of thy innereth demons!” She'd proclaim, upon Teuihua's claim. As for what she did, it wasn't too much. “I have travelleth into the See-eth and worketh in a gardeneth to helpeth Ryaneth. I hath also duelleth the Foxeth of Iceth in honourable battle and I hath traineth gruesometh.” She explained her busy, busy schedule. “And whath hath thee doneth? If not for they innereth demoneth, why areth thou openeth?”

Ethel would turn to Alister, also confused. “I knoweth of neight silvereth knighteth. I hath learneth that thee Construteth areth buildeth with thee spiriteth from the Faeeth! Mangeleth corpseth of angeleth? Like oureth baronesseth?” She'd ask, a tad shocked.

“Valkyrie, Ethel.” She'd correct the knight.

“Areth thou sureth they wouldst puteth Valkyrieth in thee machineth in Rotiath against the wintereth monstereth?” She asked, seemingly somehow combinging 2+2 and coming to 345 as the answer.

"It's quite alright with me that you've come Alister, I appreciate the work you've been doing, and the care which you are showing for Lady Caelia and those who are attending this..would event be the proper term?"

"Truthfully I'm pleased you could join us today."

"Silver knights you say? That's certainly a term, one..which I do not disapprove of for constructs if it were to describe them properly." In some ways some constructs were like 'silver knights' particularly if they were combat orientated ones.

"Ethel here seems to think there is a possibility of some opposing force which is not working for the side of good which may be within me, I cannot confirm or deny such a claim, but I would find it most unusual if it were true as my original creators did not strike me as the sorts who would do something like that, and I doubt it would appease the divine one to which they were followers of to create a construct in such a way."

"Those Silver knights you speak of..are most curious with the description you've given me. Runes I am familiar with, the term machinery I have come to understand better though what is this 'angel' you speak of?" Teuhiua asked, not really familiar with the term in common, and he couldn't really think of an equivalent in Mictlantecuhtlian or Analog.

"Is that right Ethel? Sounds like you've been up to quite a few activities then. Perhaps your dueling and training will have kept your skills well-honed for should we need them soon."

"Pleased to hear you've been able to travel and help people out some along the way."

To answer Ethel's question as to why he was being opened up, he responded,

"Lady Caelia is taking a look inside of me to see if there is any information to how I function and if improvements can be made, There may also be additional information pertaining to some of the curious Mictlantecuhtlian objects that we've encountered from time to time around the barony. we discussed it quite some time ago and she now has time where she's capable of doing so."

As for what he's been doing he'd respond, "I've been assisting Lady Caelia around the barony, with some of the aforementioned strange occurrences like the apples which I'm sure you recall, I also assisted Gunhild on a second expedition to that Island, It's a shame what's transpiring there as a result..all the fighting, If I had known that was the consequence I may have been less likely to go.. I do hope that peace can be restored to the region soon enough.." Referencing the fight the island was pretty much a free for all zone at the moment where crimes couldn't be committed and with Kuridan and West Empire people fighting for control over parts of it, as well as having to contend with the natives there.

When Regula said the words, Teuihua's torso began to glow an arcane blue sparkley hue, and it almost looked like Regula had a halo above her head momentarily, perhaps only further adding fire to Ethel saying she seemed angel like.

Suddenly a large circular space began to open up in said torso, revealing what looked like a sizable open space which had the same sort of energy which sometimes appeared to be coming out of the spaces between where Teuihua's limbs met his body, the energy likely feeling warm, there was also toward the center of him a bright blue core which was almost white in the center with something that sort of looked like a purplish hue crystal floating within it which was illuminated, there was a metal casted holder in Teuihua staying in a sort of stasis toward his center with five or so slots which looked like they had the diameter to fit something relatively the same size as the purplish crystal floating around his center 'Orb'.

"Ah, It would appear you were [Chosen] enough for it, this is quite familiar, Does everything look okay?" He'd ask matter of fact, sounding warm and complimentary when he told Regula she was [Chosen] enough.

"Thank you Teuihua, and yes I think an event is... a fitting term for this happenstance."
Alister nodded and affirmed Teuihua's choice of wording, albeit Alister himself wasn't so sure about the correct use of words as he was still getting used to speaking normally, the epochs spent talking in Ancient Hermese, and with a manner of speech similar to Ethel's, it was hard getting used to speaking like a 'regular being' of this world.
"Aye Silver Knights my lady, that's what we called them, though if we would like to be precise it would be Silver Knights of the Twilight Giant Pathway. Not exactly nice fellows, those that somehow retain a part of their humanity are mad beyond the breaking port of a normal man." Alister confirmed the name of them to Lady Caelia, feeling a tad of curiosity in her voice he explained the term a bit more as to satisfy the curiosity of his new lordship.

"Oh no no, the angel part isn't literal. Not many angels even had wings though my previous lord and the person due to whose actions I lost my previous lord and was thrown this way did have wings. But yes they would put mangled corpses or barely living angels into them. Also, where is Rotiath... I am not from here as milady might know, so hearing of some place that might have something similar to my home... time. place. world... I don't know honestly so I will call it home." Alistair responded to Ethel's words, by the Fool and Medici, he didn't mean it that way, sure his new lord had wings but that didn't make them an angel... At least not by the standards of the world Alistair used to inhabit, the standards of his world were twisted and an utter dark parody of this world's standards, after all there was no way a spawn of an outer god could be spawned of a lunatic woman's womb and destroy the world. If Alister had a dollar for each time it nearly happened he would have two dollars which isn't much but it's weird that it nearly happened twice.

It took Alister a fair bit to think about how to share this information correctly with the few gathered in this room without overwhelming them with information from his many years of life, feeling partially parched he went to the teapot and poured himself a cup and drank it slowly before setting the cup back down and resting his lower back on the high table next to the things he brought with him here. Alister took a deep breath in, slowly let it out, and began speaking once the chitter chatter between Teuihua and Ethel has ended. It wasn't an easy talk at all, he had to omit so much information and yet it was such a long talk out of it...
"How to explain it to not overwhelm your minds with several epochs worth of information... Back where I'm from one if willing to risk their mind, sanity and utterly life, could potentially become a god. The method itself started with the ancient blasphemy slates which after transcribing allowed children of Sanquine, Human, and other races to slowly grow in power and potentially ascend to godhood and beyond. To keep it simple I will omit most information for now, but each pathway devised from the slate contained 10 sequences of potions one should make, drink, and digest to gain power of said sequence. Though once you choose a pathway you are stuck with that specific pathway till the end. Those who ingested such a potion are called Beyonders, those from the 9th to 7th sequence are the Early Birds, the madness is easy to contain, and potions are relatively easy to digest, those from 6th to 4th are often called those who peak the veil, as they can feel the stares of gods upon them. Then we come to the high sequence people, at the 3rd sequence we have so-called Saints, then we have Angels at the 2nd sequence, and finally at 1st sequence we have Demigods. And lastly 0th sequence God. Those at the saint level can live for a long long time, most live past 500 years, those at the Angel level no longer age, don't need to eat, drink, or even sleep, but they still can be killed." Alistair explained slowly and calmly so as to not startle anyone with the information he was giving them, after all, such a world was alien to this world. Though some minds could gobble up this information like a sponge did to water, his friend Klein was such a person. Though he could be called more of an anomaly than nothing else, learning everything about his world and ascending to godhood in just two years is something unprecedented.
"So when I refer to angels I mean those who were but 2 steps away from becoming gods... I myself was a Saint of my lord and lived for several epochs. You could say I'm reliving my youth and powerlessness from my younger years here. Though having a soul as old as five thousand years, in a body that doesn't look like it's barely in its mid-20s brings some thoughts to mind."
Alister sighed as he finished speaking, grabbed a biscuit down his canine mouth giving himself an excuse for him not explaining it more, as well as giving ample time for his Ladyship to answer to Teuihua's question after he opened up to her.

The tales told by Allister were rather... odd. “That sounds like the worst possible version of history, compared to how it currently is in Rotia.” She'd think it through. “Rotia is a kingdom in the north-west of the continent. It is regularly attacked by monsters from the first continent, whenever the sea freezes over in winter. To defend against them, the Grand Duchy supplies the kingdom of Rotia with Mecha's. Giant battle-suits that use people to pilot them, rather than mangled corpses or barely living angels. That's about all I know.” As for the home bit, she'd give a reassuring smile. “No worries, like many before you in similar situations, I'm sure you'll be able to call the Barony your home soon enough. We'll try are best to help make it so.”

His explanation was pretty odd, though some things were somewhat familiar. “Hmmm... It's possible to ascent the need to eat and drink, as well as to stop ageing, as far as I'm aware. It's not common, but the methods for it wouldn't be as dangerous sounding as what you mentioned.” The last bit was the more odd one. “That's something indeed. Some might say I'm older than I look, but in your case, that certainly takes it to the extremes.”

That said, there was a job right in front of her. How would she even decide of 'Okay' was okay? “I'm glad I'm [Chosen] enough, but... I must admit most of this seems unfamiliar to me.” The whole blue glowing sparks and all seemed almost like an enchantment going haywire. Was this the 'heart' of Teuihua?

“There's some sort of bright blue core, nearly white in the centre, with like a... pink, no, purple-ish crystal floating within? Then it seems there's these weird opening-like things that seem like they'd fit something the same size of the floating crystal...?” She couldn't make the most sense of it, until she'd notice something.

She'd take a closer look, then grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil. “Wait... If these are... Assuming...” She was scribbling down a lot, translating things in her head from Mictlantecuhtlian to Common and then drawing how modern-day ruins would make them look, then comparing them to Mictlantecuhtlian. “Yeah, these are enchantments, I think. Not the type we're used too though. Or perhaps they are more like instructions..? I think I can make out something about 'control', but not as a way to take it, but to enforce it..? Maybe? I'm not fully sure. Have you ever been in charge of commanding something or something, or controlling something?”

She shook her head at Alister. “Though angels areth demoneth!” She proclaimed. “Thou saints areth sinners. Areth thou a sinner?” She asked him. “And shalsth thee allowth me to take thine foodeth?” She'd ask, after spotting the plate of cookies. The logical follow-up.

That said, she got distracted by the light show that was Teuihua's innards. “Thou insides illuminateth me and mine in brighesth lighteth. Hath tho swalloweth the eseenceth of lighteth?” She'd state, forcing herself not to get closer to it like a moth being drawn to a flame.

Teuihua listened politely to what Alister had to say. "Ingesting and going through trials as a result sounds like a most curious way to go about becoming a god, in Mictlantecuhtlia, we have tales of legendary figures who became gods themselves by doing the extraordinary and ascending as a result, I suppose it isn't all that different in concept, undergoing hardship and undergoing something great, of course for these individuals they did not have set goals to ascend in power, but it happened through the grace of those above perhaps as a reward of sorts.."

"Killed hm?..The only way to 'kill' a god I had heard of was to defeat their avatar, I am uncertain if their source or permanence of being could be permanently 'killed." Regardless the Angel bit sounded pretty rough, and like there were dangerous beings from Alister's world overall. With no real explaination Teuihua was still struggling with the base concept of what an angel was supposed to be to begin with, but he understood well enough that they sounded like not very nice winged beings from Alister's world.

"With no intention on being rude on my behalf, Alister, If you are 5000 years old that might possibly make you older or closer to my age than most, and frankly, being in Ryke I do not believe I've met many older than myself, as I am not entirely sure how many years have gone by since my civilization existed and I Went into stasis, but in that regard coming from a different time and place..I find that strangely relatable..perhaps minus the 'living' those years in full part, as I wasn't very conscious for quite some time."

"I have felt my power returning chronologically, and it has been a most interesting experience, perhaps something similar will be true for you, even so I commend you for powering onwards."

Teuihua also diligently listened to what Regula had to say regarding his innards.

"I see, that is understandable, I can't imagine there are many constructs like myself out and about."


"Well the color of the soul crystal sounds correct. and if is circling as you say then it is functioning at full capacity." Teuihua was able to gather based on what Regula said alone there.

"The hue of the core..hm you said bright blue? I believe there should be a darker blue band closer to the white center which you are not describing there, that would suggest to me there is an imbalance."


Teuihua was actually somewhat surprised to hear the next part, "And you say those slots are empty? My, someone must have opened me up when I was in stasis and had a look through for what looked valuable, from what my creators seemed to indicate most of those slots are not supposed to be empty, how many slots do you see?" Teuihua would ask the logical follow up.

"Truthfully I only know these things because my creators were nice enough to show me a diagram of myself, including within."

Teuihua was in thought as Regula went to writing and asking him about if he had controlled anything in the past, it took some time thinking but Teuihua had a Eureka moment.

"Now that you mention it, I do recall something, if albeit hazy, during times of conflict I was capable of leading swaths of sizable but smaller constructs than myself to help defend Mictlantecuhtlia and maintain order, while they weren't really conversationalists as much as I am, they were ever loyal and suitable for the tasks given to them."

"Where they have gone off too or how or if I brought them into being when they were needed is less clear..but I do remember that much."

At the next point Regula looked up at Teuihua's innards she'd see an ever familiar orangey transparent text in the Mictlantecuhtlian language appear.

"+Did you enjoy your gifts Baroness?+"

"+Perhaps you'll soon live up to your [Mictlantecuhtlian Chosen] status yet+"

"+Make more use of the ones that have yet to come.+" It looked very similar to the style of message she had gotten with the tailed ones when they were bound to her.

Teuihua of course was unaware of the new text that was appearing.

"Hm..I'm actually not certain if they used a light elemental in my creation Ethel, what I do know is that there is a great deal of arcane energy which is being repurposed into a generator cycle of sorts to help keep me active. The vibrancy of the soul might also be in part of what you are seeing. I do hope that after all the build up it's of some interest to you at the very least, It would be most unfortunate if it wasn't."

Alister listened to Regula's words, knowledge is half the battle after all, and knowing the lands upon which you shall spend your years is something anyone should know, but he did crack a little smile when Regula confirmed he could call the Barony his home, a home is the first most anchor for any Beyonder, his place of solace from the madness of the world.
"As I said, my world was different, yet slightly similar to this one. Though it's nice having a place to call home." Alister replied after sighing a bit out of nostalgia.


"Yes, there was an inherited risk of ascending to power in my world. Though knowing the pathways were devised from blasphemy plates, a piece of stone made from a rock foreign to our realm, gotten after the gods of old barely managed to kill a few outer gods, as they slayed but six of them. The outer gods themselves would bring madness to those who perceive them with any of their senses. So ways to ascend devised from things gotten from their bodies carried a similar risk to them. But at the same time more power in a faster way than the old ways, after all since the ancient sun god no more gods ascended via the old method, sure it was safer but it required materials nearly impossible to get, and copious amounts of time, at least fifty years per sequence." Alister added to his previous explanation, feeling a sense of dread the moment he spoke about the outer gods, whatever it was shellshock from his life before, or the outer god's influence reached even here he dared not know, since even that knowledge could lead him to slip into madness.

Taking a small break to calm himself, and partake in one of his own cookies, to try and get his mind out of that zone of thinking, was somewhat successful, but he had to continue. Even if only to get the heavy feeling of his shoulders. Thankfully Teuihua exclaimed that he heard of a similar concept in his times, though he did not know the rituals from other pathways so he shared the ritual he had to complete to ascend to his previously held title of a Sea King Saint of the Tyrant Pathway.
"The ritual for the third sequence of the Tyrant pathway which I was a part of named Sea King, required me to command over a thousand men through fear and respect, as well as kill with nothing but my bare hands and a trident a sea serpent during a storm with those thousand men as witness. It wasn't a nice night that I can say for sure especially since I wasn't able to use any of the powers I gained from the previous sequences upon starting the ritual."
As he exclaimed those words Alister placed one of his arms onto his left side and held it tightly as if to signal that he lost part of himself during that ritual, in fact Alister did lose something, half of the left side of his torso, thankfully whatever force Amon conspired with to throw Alister here restored his body to the state he was in in his younger days. However, when Teuihua mentioned god killing he had to explain how it was in his world, maybe to compare differences and see similarities, or just to continue talking.
"Gods were simple to kill where I am from, albeit nearly impossible to pull off. One simply needed to be a god, for only a god could wound a god, so depending on a god sometimes multiple other gods would need to strike him down to kill him. The Ancient Sun God of my world was struck down by the eight orthodox gods of the modern time of my world, they killed him because he was too compassionate to the mortals, and the mortals grew too dependent on him to survive, which could lead to their nihilistic end of existence."

At the mention of Alister's age and how he could be older than Teuihua, Alister cracked a smile on his face and laughed a bit, before abruptly stopping, and commenting on that statement.
"Teuihua being old doesn't mean I remember it all. Sure, I have a good memory but even to me most of my life slipped through my fingers, I don't even remember the faces and names of my family members though I still remember I had them. Such a long life while being conscious can sometimes be a hell on earth, so I might be slightly jealous of you and being in stasis for most of those years. By the time I realized what I was giving up in pursuit of power and longevity I already lost my family, and part of my humanity in me. Do I regret it? Maybe a little, I should have spent more time with my family while they still lived before pursuing the power and longevity as I did. At least then I would have some memories of them to this day."
Alister tried to appear strong at this moment, but remembering what little shards of memory remained in him of his family, his loved ones, and friends before he became a Beyonder was frightening to him, to him he felt as if he was losing himself by just existing, thankfully here he can start anew, build new memories to replace the old ones. But this time not rush his return to power, instead willing to take it more slowly.
"Technically I'm a paradox, sure my soul and mind are old, but my body is in the state it was before I began my journey into power, as well as I can't feel even a shred of my old powers inside of me. So I won't be able to recover it over time, but I did find most of the ingredients I would need to make the ninth sequence potions for both the Justicarian and the Black Emperor pathways I just miss the two key ingredients to both of them, so depending on which one I manage to find that's the way I will go this time. Though even then which one I dive in will depend on what Lady Regula wishes."

When Teuihua opened up to reveal a bright light inside of him, Alister took a few steps towards him to take a look at the source of light, though he still did leave quite some space for Regula to work with Teuihua unbothered, a bonus of being tall.
"Looks alien to me, the only similar thing I saw in my long life was a soul bead from a Leviathan, but those were more impure and devoured light rather than produced it. So I am sadly useless in this case."

Having heard Ethel claim angels were some 'demon', a word he did not know he would need to hear an explanation for before he confirmed or denied her words. For exclaiming things when not knowing what was said isn't the correct way to do so.
"What's a demon? No, I am asking seriously, I might be old as time in a joking manner, but I never heard of the term Demon."
Though he knew the definition of Sinner, another word that he barely knew, in his world it was a word rarely used, exclusive to only those who dabbled in similar actions to those of the Abyss or Chained pathways, whether they were Beyonders or not.
"Being a saint in my world didn't mean being pure of soul, those who truly were pure of soul and heart were often targets by those practicing the Abyss or Chained pathways, they deal with souls, undead, and similar, if I remember correctly an Abyss of the 5th sequence requires a soul of a pure of heart person to corrupt and devour, the Chained instead requires about a dozen bodies of people pure of soul and heart as well as younger than sixteen years of age to devour to proceed. Those are sinners. Sinners that I hunted down whenever I could, even my lord hated them, though he was an angel of war and was extremely brutal to his enemies, but that was only during war and towards enemies, not innocents."

Alister nodded, and gestured to the sweets and tea, with a small bow, before replying to Ethel's request.
"Hmm. Sure partake in the tea and sweets Ethel they are here for a reason, after all, just leave some for the others. I only made one more batch, though it needs to cool off in the kitchen."

“Me neither.” She replied to Teuihua, deciding to keep the talk between Alister and Teuihua in the background of her mind, as she'd rather focus on not accidentally ruining Teuihua's insides. “That is good to hear.” She'd reply to the soul crystal bit. “Yeah, a bright blue hue.” She'd confirm.

“A darker blue band...” She'd repeat double checking. “I don't think I see it? Unless the purplish hue from the floating crystal is making it less visible.” She wasn't fully sure. “The slots are definitely empty though.” That much she was entirely sure about.

She walked around the room to check Teuihua's innards from the other side as well. “There's five of them.” She confirmed the amount of empty slots. “If someone's been stealing crystals like this, do you think the crystals we spotted near the magic tower and apple tree were stolen and displaced in a similar manner?” An ancient Mictlantecuhtlian crystal thief could've been behind it all, perhaps?

“Do you still remember those diagrams? If you do, we could try draw them at some point. It might help me figure out what might be changed or missing.” She'd reply. Or how to make another, should she ever want to try do so.

“Hmmm. That explains a few things. I wonder if I could make you new ones, or if we could find someone else to build you new ones.” She replied, as she wasn't sure if they'd ever find the old ones.

The next bit took her totally off-guard. She blinked a few times as she read it... Did.. did someone ancient Mictlantecuhtlian deity just play a trick on her? Besides, it's not like she'd wanted Yuzuki or Ringo to leave, as she'd rather enjoyed their company. The ones that have yet to come... wait, what? She blinked again, though the message was gone... Staring in silence for a bit, she shook her head. She was just loosing it, wasn't she?

On the topic of loosing it, Alister was talking a lot and most of it sounded like the type of cultist talk that got the barony in troubled waters prior. “It probably doesn't really need mention, but I'll say it regardless. Please do try not to talk about killing deities and the likes in public. The county has once been split off from Ryke into its own nation due to people starting to worship the previous Count, though that didn't last long and ended in great disaster. I'd rather not see that repeat.” She'd warn him.

After, she'd sigh. “I don't think I'll even need my tools, as there's nothing for me to work on, open up or check. It seems like being [Chosen] did most of that for me. Unless there's something else you want me to check, you can close up again... or ehm, tell me how to get you to close up again?” She wasn't sure how that worked.

Then she turned to Alister. “Should I try reheat the tea at the forge? I could really go for a cup now.” She'd add, still wondering what in the world she just read in Teuihua's innards.

“Thou innards are brighteth, like a celestialeth, neigh like a demoneth. Thou hath showeth me and mine a ligheth showeth.” She'd nod, seemingly satisfied with seeing Teuihua's innards. Though she did wonder. “Hast thou lighteth neigh cometh from a spiriteth? Thast would be beeth what thee See folketh suggesteth.”

She'd look at Alister, surprised. “I demoneth is a fouleth creatureth! Evileth incarnateth! It shouldst be destroyeth before it destroyeth all elseth!” She'd warn him. “You worlds mangleth angelth soundeth like demoneth! Fouleth, evileth, defilinigeth beings! Your sinnereth soundeth like even worseth demoneth!”

That said, she'd soon be distracted, stuffing her mouth with cookies after setting three of them aside for the remaining three. She was just that nice, after all.

Teuihua
​

Teuihua listened politely to Alister, it sounded like there were a great deal of trials and tribulations required to ascend to godhood. Killing a god being simple struck Teuihua as strange as that was just conceptually something he hadn't really thought possible before, but he supposed if there was really a whole nother world out there it was possible.

He was a tad surprised when Alister got to the bit about being hold didn't mean he remembered it all, and that he could have possibly been jealous about Teuihua going into stasis? Teuhiua couldn't imagine life being described as a living hell, but it sounded like Alister had been through many difficult things, he was being generous as far as allowing Lady Caelia to help decide his future choice on how his power went, which Teuihua appreciated he also seemed to be kind.

"I had not considered that perspective, I am sorry to hear that life has brought you difficulties in some of these ways. I suppose it may be another part of the plights of being an organic. I and others of my kind were crafted with a good deal of individuality in their craftsmanship, and many of us feel quite content fulfilling what our creator's original directive is, it is an existence which can lend itself to less complexities."

He then replied to Regula, "A lack of band indicates there is less power moving through then there should be."

"Only Five of them suggests there are possibly 8 others missing, there should be another set of five slots parallel and then three larger ones in a different location and oreintation, I take it those three are completely missing then."

"It is possible that the crystals were stolen, as well as slots, even if constructs of my caliber at least had creators who often put a lot of individual and customized effort into creating us, it's also likely that others have "innard systems" which may use some of the same components as myself even if not arranged in exactly the same way or with the same types, so it is very possible that over time these crystals were misplaced. It's also safe to say that these were not only used in constructs."

"...Yes actually I believe the diagram should be saved somewhere from within me, my creators would have imprinted it for quick reference so it could be brought up without having to open me up each time they wanted to take a look at it."

Teuihua nodded at Regula's talk about being cautious about not being seen as a cultist.

Before he continued, "You took a look at one of the most important areas certainly, as for tools..there might be more application in the limbs, particularly this one," Teuhiua moved his more dexterous hand to his large pillar of an arm.

"Granted it sounds like entire slots are missing which means optimally that part being recast would likely be ideal."

"If there are some lying around places It may be possible to find some original ones, maybe through looking over the deeper part of ruins, as I am well aware that sadly many of the sites of my civilization have been picked over by looters, explorers, researchers, and adventurers over time, not that I can particularly blame them of course."


"With that said, if you'd like to take a look at my arm. I'll leave that up to you, otherwise I thank you for the work you've done, It's appreciated." Teuihua spoke warmly. When she brought up the idea of how he closed, Teuihua took his more dexterous arm moved it just behind the top of his chest cavity and seemed to flick some sort of small lever within before retracting his hand and his chest went back to closing itself pretty quickly.

"It's interest enough you mention that Ethel, as actually..spirits are not far off from why It glows the way it does, not nefarious, but ones of good and noble intentions I can assure you. If Ringo was here she could likely tell you as much."

"Don't worry I doubt I'm ever gonna say this information again, unless asked by one of you to tell it to another. I know it sounds like Cultist or Heretic talk." Alister replied, with his hands high in the air, in a sign of protest against him ever doing it again. Although he did remember a few gods he killed in the past, sure minor gods but still.

"Don't worry about it Teuihua. Take it as some ramblin' from a man, a really old man. Though I don't know if having an eidetic memory would make me less sad about it even more sad really." Alister responded waving his hand in disapproval, he didn't need pity, especially after such a long time of living with that realization.

Alister walked up to the teapot, grabbing it, and placing his hand on its underside, after a bit he took his hand out, still holding the teapot in his hand.
"The tea is lukewarm from what I'm feeling, so I can pour you a cup if you want, but if you want a hotter one then sure we need to reheat it."
Alister proclaimed waiting for Regula's answer, ready to either pour her a cup or walk to the forge to reheat the tea.

Alister listened attentively to Ethel's words, new words after all did confuse him sometimes so its better to learn them now rather than later.
"I see... Those demons sound more like the Outer Gods of my world, or the Maddened Beyonders, since I never heard anyone or anything be called as such in my world. Well what can I say when your world is old enough to experience the rise and fall of civilization twice. First by the hubris of humanity, the second one by the outer gods, only to usher a third era of civilizations where other gods found ways to bar the world from most outer gods actions. But yes, me, my previous lord, my best friend, and most of our followers would kill those sinners on sight so there is that."
Alister chuckled seeing Ethel stuff her face with most of the cookies, seeing that he placed the teapot down on the side, taking out and placing the cookie tray near it, while keeping the wooden tray in his hands.
"Seeing as most out our cookies vanished, if you two wish I can go take a short trip to take some from the second batch? Or we can leave them for later."

“I see.” She'd reply regarding the lack of a band. “Do you think we could make one, or should we find an original?” That was the logical follow-up question.

She'd just nod at the number of slots and whatnot, not sure what that meant or indicated. “Did you have that many others under your control? Or was it about various amounts or complexity or something?” She tried making some sense of it.

“That's a shame, though I guess that means we might yet find some repurposed ones? Or do they not have a lifespan long enough to still be around and functioning?” She honestly wasn't too confident in her ancient-civilisation construct technology crafting just yet. She'd get an answer soon enough. A part needed to be recast. “Alright, I'll have to figure out the right material for it, in that case. Yet it should be possible. It'd just take some planning and perhaps a few trials and errors.”

The next bit saddened her a bit. “As much as I'd like too, I'm afraid I'd not be able to go explore with you again. Unless we'd find something in the barony or on its fringes, I'd rather not risk making far-off trips like the one we went on to Gala'Kraoth. It'd give my opponents too many chances to destabilize the barony.” That time felt like it was further and further behind her.

As for his arm, she shook her head. “So long as it's functioning well, I don't see the need to work on it. I'll admit I also don't exactly have any concrete plans, schematics or ideas that I could work with as of now. Perhaps I could one day see about casting parts of it in mithril so that it could be enchanted, but that'd take a lot more time and effort than we have right now.”

Teuihua mentioning Ringo was... a tad painful. Especially after the Mict. deity having already confronted her with it. She decided to try remain silent on that front. Though there was one thing she did wish to ask. “You told me about a trickster deity, didn't you? I'm sorry, I forgot their name. Could you tell me a bit more?” The last 'message' seemed very much like it'd come from one of that sort.

Glad to hear Alister understand, she'd smile. “I'm glad you understand, thanks.” She thanked him, tired, yet happy enough to trust his word on it. As for the tea, she'd head up the forge on and waved for him to hand him over the tea-post. She'd reheat it herself with her blacksmith tool, namely some tongs, in a way that seemed a little too practised. Making sure the pot wouldn't get too hot and break, yet still heating it effectively and quickly enough. “I did this more often than you'd think, back when I was still doing this for a living in the capital.” She'd explain. As for the cookies. “I don't mind. Just the tea will do.”

She listened to his spirit explanation. She was a tad shocked. “Thou hath goodest and nobeleth spiritheths heldst prisoneth insideth thee?!?” That was a shocking thing to learn for sure. Although perhaps not the right lesson to take away from this.

Alister's words seemed to satisfy her. “Thee and thou shouldst! Monstereth hath neigh but death and decayeth in their mindesth! Alloweth thee neigh monstereth to liveth, for it wouldst by thy undoing!” She stated confidently and resolute.

As they were talking, however, one of the baroness' administrators walked in, giving a bow to the baroness before speaking up. “Madam baroness.

He noticed some oddities in Yemaya's bookkeeping, from before the city's downfall and believes it might be worth investigating.”

Regula sighed, then nodded. “Alright, I'll come take a look at it.” She'd quickly turn off the forge... but was stopped.

The fox woman looked a bit shocked. “Ah, forgive me madam baroness. It holds no such haste.”

“That's alright, we were just about done here either way.” She'd nod at Alister and Teuihua, heading off with a wave.

Silvia remained behind, a bit befuddled that the baroness had just dropped everything she was doing to go fulfil such a requestion instantly. It was also a tad concerning. “Mister Alister, mister Teuihua, if I might inquire. Does it seem to you both that milady baroness is rather pushing herself a lot lately and looking like she's rather concerned and out of it?” She'd point at the recently reheated, yet never poured-from teapot. “I... Did not mean to give her such haste as to even withhold from a simple cup of tea...” Her tail drooped to a low hang as she said it.

Alister simply listened to the conversation between Regula and Teuihua, though her behavior worried him as he could tell she was working herself over. But telling such a person to rest isn't easy as they can be as stubborn as a mule. Even when people willingly will take the pressure of her shoulders if she wont recognize it and let them handle it she wouldn't get better.
"I can imagine it Regula but proper rest is needed, a man is not a machine, not offense to Teuihua's kind, but I think even constructs need to rest especially humans."

"And she's gone... Didn't even drink a cup of tea." Alister said under his own breath as Regula walked out of the room after Silvia came and gave her a report, he sighed at the realization that she probably won't rest and drown herself in work again.

"Don't worry. It's sadly in Regula's nature it seems to shoulder the stress and work on herself, even though she should know she has us to shoulder at least part of it with her. I can't say that I don't know one of the reasons for it but at this point, the only thing we can do is support her and alleviate some of that pressure from her, whether she likes it or not." Alister said patting Silvia on the head, not even realizing how it could be taken. For him, Silvia was just a younger coworker if not a child considering Alister's age.

He then walked to the teapot and poured the tea into three cups, one for Teuihua, one for Ethel, and one for Silvia, while saying.
"Sometimes we can't help her directly, and we can only support her from the sideline, but sometimes we need to be a bit forceful in our approach as she is the type of person who tends to bottle up her emotions, hide her pain, shoulder all her troubles and pressure alone not wanting others to have to bear this burden. Had a friend like that, he only began to let others shoulder part of his troubles after someone ripped his heart out, and I mean it literally. Though he did survive due to the grace of one of the gods, back to the topic at hand, this type of people tends to only learn that they should let others carry some part of their troubles or ask for help after something catastrophic happens."
Having said what he needed to say he passed each one of them their cup and one cookie, before placing his own and Regula's cap onto the tray along with the teapot. Then he slowly moved towards the exit door, only to look back at them and say one more thing.
"Now if you excuse me I am going to berate our lady to at least have her take a short rest till the tea is finished, and maybe convince her to at least take a nap, if I don't manage to have her go get proper sleep. If any of you want to join me in alleviating some of the pressure from her they are invited to do so, though I would like if someone took some of the cookies I left in the kitchen with them."
And as he said he did, Alister walked out of the forge, following Regula's recent scent to whatever room she moved to do what she thought was more important than rest and tea.
Standing in front of the door to the study he knocked on it with his hand while he held the tray in his other hand, while calling out to her.
"Can I come in? Mind you this time less as a person in your employ and more of a friend who worries."
Hearing her words of approval he entered the room closing the door behind himself, and placed the tea set on a small table within the room, pouring a cup of it for Regula and passing it to her.

"You didn't have a cup yet. Come, let us remedy that. While you savor the warmth of your drink, allow me to tend to these papers for you. You see, it pains me to watch you carry such a burden alone. I may not know the precise worries that weight upon your heart, but I understand the toll they can take. It is not wise to let your spirit wither away under such pressure. So, please, take a moment to rest, if only while you enjoy your tea. Perhaps even close your eyes for a brief nap. In the meantime, let me lighten your load, and ease some of your troubles. Remember, you do not have to face this alone. You have your friends and family here who are willing to help you with anything. Not because you are their lord, no, they are willing to help because of who you are, though most might refrain from telling it to you directly to not waste what you have built so far. But I am just an old man at soul even though the body is young, I have nothing to lose other than the company of you, your people, and anyone else I hold dear to my heart. So listen to this centuries-old man, and rest for a while, if you need I can even sing a lullaby and lend you my tail for comfort if you so wish. “
Alister said calmly yet with worry in his voice, he enjoyed his time here, he enjoyed the company here, and he did not want to see another person waste away from pressure especially since it was self-induced. Now he simply waited for her answer to his proposal. He truly hoped he didn't need to do anything drastic to get her some rest, but if he must be he will do it, he is a loyal mutt after all, wishing only the best for his master.

Teuihua nodded when Alister basically told him it wasn't anything he needed to worry about as far as feeling bad for Alister.

"Making what we cannot find is probably fine, I cannot imagine there would be a better person to partake than yourself given your skills and unique connection."

Teuihua then continued,

"The slots are for different components and ensure that my...innards system is working to full capacity so to speak, The type and slotted area impacts what I am capable of doing if i remember correctly, the number of crystals and or components is not related specifically to how many."


"I believe we found some which were still functioning, if albeit erratically no? As far as the crystals go, I do not see why there wouldn't be some around still which hold energy, there are likely components which have yet to be harvested as well."

"The fact that I am still functioning would suggest to me that there are those out there that work properly, short of being destroyed, with that said, I do not believe it would be impossible to use the old methods and create more synthetic ones if need be as those saw use too. It would just be a matter of figuring it all out."

Teuihua gave a nod when she said they'd need to figure out what material to recast the slots.

"Understood." He replied when she said unless it was local she didn't think she'd be traveling, Teuihua understood that Regula had plenty of work to do as a Baroness and as nice as it was to have her travel around with him, it wasn't her obligation in her role.

"I do not believe it's full functionality has returned yet, however this I also understand, perhaps with time as the innards are corrected it's full capacity will return. I also am optimistic that Mithril could be a most appropriate addition to my evolved form, and would enhance my ability to serve you and the barony."


"No problem I can do that, yes, Tsanatl of the forest. They are a vital protector of nature and keeper of the forests of our civilization. However they are also known to be a trickster toward those who transgress against them or who do not respect the balance and harmony of coexisting with the natural world. It has been said taht one may find themselves getting led astray in the woods and getting lost, having their belongings going missing, or even belongings getting moved around and things appearing where they do not belong, are not unheard of if one were to gain Tsanatl's ire, with that said they are known to have a bit more of a mischievous side in general from time to time, rather than being nefarious it might just be practical jokes being played upon those if they derive entertainment from it."

Teuhiua made somewhat of a chuckling sound when he heard Ethel before continuing, "I do not believe that imprisoned would be the appropriate term to use, at least I hardly like to think they'd think of if that way Ethel, they are willing housing themselves inside of me, or more accurately they chose to live inside of me, so that I may be who I am and serve how I do."

Teuihua gave a friendly wave to Silvia, with Regula going off suddenly, and Silvia showing concern, Teuhiua felt a bit saddened at the situation but it was understandable,

He listened to Alister speak, thanking him for the tea and cookie, before nodding.

"I am inclined to agree with Alister on many points he has raised."

"I will say from experience that the Baroness works frequently, she is not one to back away from her aspirations, obligations or work."

"This 'out of it' which you describe is likely a combination of her being occupied with her role and having a lot on her mind, her connection to my civilization has only further added nuances to this barony."

"So, personally, I would not hold yourself accountable for causing this behavior, you are just doing your job to the best of your ability, which I and herself no doubt appreciate."

"Very well Alister, I take it you'll take good care of her then."


Teuihua used his 'eating' function to quickly start evaporating the liquid in the cup 'drinking' it. enjoying whatever herbal flavors it probably provided.

Before he'd also incinerate the cookie in another bluish flame, 'eating' it, enjoying the flavors there too.

"All of this and she was kind enough to make some time to look into me even though she did not have too."

"Since coming to this Barony, I've felt like I've been treated more like an organic than I ever recall being treated before..and I do appreciate it." Teuihua said to no one in particular looking between Ethel and Silvia.

"How..have you been? I do not believe we've..conversed as much, as say Lowrence and myself." He'd look to Silvia once more.

She'd take the tea and proceed to burn her mouth on it, sputtering for a bit, before blowing at it. Looking at Teuihua, she'd look puzzled. “So... thou areth liketh a bastioneth of spirith estateth?” She tried making sense of what he said. However, looking outside, she seemed to realise something. “I hath promiseth me and mineth presenceth at traingeth!

She'd nod at Alister's words, though was pretty confused by the his gesture of petting her head. Stepping back a bit and looking at him as if to say 'yo what?', yet otherwise remaining silent. She would accept the tea, gently sipping from it, to not make the same mistake as Ethel. Her ears perked up by the mentions Alister made about ripping out hearts. “That sound rather gruesome...” As Alister left, she'd nod, figuring she'd leave him at it for now. Her time to figure out how to help the baroness would come eventually, or so she hoped.

A momentarily distracted-in-thought attitude shifted when Teuihua asked after her. “It's been great. The baroness entrusts me with leading some of her forces at times, in order to inspect any shady businesses. It's honestly been by far the most power anyone's even entrusted me with. I'd not have even thought this possible back in the East Empire.” Her tail started wagging up a storm. “To think there's a noble that's allowing a beast like me to do such things, not just me, all five of us got these positions and really get to help make a change. It's amazing. It's by far the best of both worlds. We've got an amazing Human to serve and we actually manage to be treated well whilst making a real difference.”

“Ah, but on that note, that does remind me. Do you think you'd be down to join me in the future as well? There's a few cases of folk that I think did some shady business that I don't even trust the regular guards on to keep me safe. Yet if I'd barge in with your backing, they'd be sure to submit on sight~”

That said, her tail drooped a bit again, as there was one thing she wondered about. “You know, there is one thing I don't get at all. There's all the rumours about her and tails, yet she seems to not even be staring at mine all that much, despite the fact I'm working for her. I don't get it. Is there something wrong with it?” She'd hold her tail out towards Teuihua. “I'm taking good care of it, keeping it well kept and washed and all.”

“Come in.” She'd call out, not really hearing the second part of what Alister said, as she was looking over some paperwork with another. “You're right, it does seem off...” She'd state, comparing various tables and numbers.

“Exactly. So did they just make a mistake, or are they hiding something?” The other beastman asked, his tail wagging as he seemed excited that his discovery was confirmed. However, upon Alister's words, he'd remain silent, letting the other man speak.

She sighed, upon hearing Alister's words. “Perhaps... you're probably right. Thanks.” She'd sigh once more, taking the tea and leaning back a bit to sip from it. “You're not wrong, but after events like what happened in Sootspire... It always feels like I'd be in troubled water if I didn't prove myself thrice-fold, you know?”

Even so, she could hardly abstain from smiling slightly. “When you put it like that, I can hardly give you more reason to worry, can I? Honestly, you're already making me wonder what I did to have someone like you decide to come help out and value me and everyone here as much already. I'll... I'll try to watch my resting habits more.” Wait... what was that last bit he'd said? “Wait... did you hear about that as well..? I've been trying to avoid word about that from spreading due to how it could be used against me...” That was another worry in its own right.

That said, Alister found surprising support. “Milady, if it is true that such things manage to bring you comfort, I'd be more than honoured and pleased to offer you my own as well and I'll assure you, the tales of any such events won't leave this room.” The dude was wagging at the thought, perhaps unlike Alister.

"A cup for you as well friend." Alister said as he poured another cup of tea handing it to Reynard.
"I can see that. But by proving yourself thrice-fold, without leaning on others you are burning your lifespan by double that amount while making everyone worry for you."
Alister sighed while saying those words, he saw many men and women die by trying to prove themselves by overworking themselves, it never led to their wanted results, except for a few exceptions of course but those hardly counted for anything. He did not wish for Regula to be one of them, too many good people died due to their ambition and want to prove themselves.
"As you should, it is the job of the elderly to worry for the young, even if my body is back to its age of youth. But I am still an elder in this case. Leave some pressure and burden for us to carry so you won't croak from overworking yourself, just to prove yourself to no one else but yourself and whatever spiteful being is watching from beyond the veil."
Alister replied with a bit of a huff as if his animalistic side was agreeing to his words. It still felt weird for Alister that his animalistic side and his side of himself weren't one anymore but at the same time, it felt as if he was never alone now.
"Lady Caelia. The first rule of a rumor, the more you try to make it not spread the more it will spread. The second rule, the funnier or scarier the rumor the more likely will it stick to people's minds. Thirdly don't worry, I heart those rumors in your territory, and even then they were said more like a jest, to make you appear less like an untouchable being but more like a person with flaws like any other person. As to how I know it's true, you remember our first meeting and the fact my tail instinctually was trying to hide from your gaze as if it met a predator. That solidified it to me, and now your reaction to it cemented it to me as being true. Honestly, it's not that bad of a rumor, I've heard much worse."
Alister explained his reasoning and words, especially after seeing Regula's reaction to him mentioning the rumor, it seems she was overly cautious of the rumor, not that it was that bad of a rumor. In his epochs of live, he heard multitude of worse rumors of various people, even of himself though this world was not his own so maybe such rumors were much worse in this world than in his own.

"But don't worry. Those under your employ wouldn't mind you using their tails if it meant you take proper rests and take care of yourself. At least those I know say it, and of course, it includes me. Of course, you will need to learn moderation and self-control so it can't be used against you or paint you in a bad light, but within your own home you are free to go ahead."
Said Alister looking while looking at Reynard's clearly wagging tail, just to look back at his own tail which was clearly fighting itself between wanting to sway and wag from side to side to express his happiness at the opportunity of being stroked, but at the same time clearly trying to stop itself from swaying and wagging as it felt Alister wanted to remain professional and a tail wagging his heart out wasn't really professional.

"As Reynard said, any such events won't leave this room. You have my word for that. Even better." Alister said stopping himself for a moment before speaking again, this time as if speaking the common language along with Ancient Hermese, a little trick Alister learned out of boredom a looong while ago, speaking in a slower and more silently with one language and the other a bit louder and faster. ^"I swear it on my previous Lord Medici Angel of War, and The Fool who wields good luck."^

"Hm..I suppose that is..actually not an inaccurate way to put things, yes I am sort of like a house for them." He responded with a warm tone.

The construct might have winced a bit seeing Ethel burn her mouth on the hot beverage, but thankfully she seemed to recover pretty quickly.

When Ethel realized she had to leave Teuihua nodded, "Very well then! I hope your training goes well Ethel. I imagine we'll get to meet up again in the near future and I hope that seeing this helped satiate your curiosity some." He'd state as she left.

He then looked to Silvia, who he had observed react to the patting, but it seemed she eventually refocused on him. It sounded like Regula had been trusting her with quite a few tasks.

"It warms my core to hear that you find your role in the Caelia Barony to be satisfactory then. Lady Caelia is certainly someone who provides others great opportunities. Even as a construct myself, she has treated me much more like someone organic would someone else who is also organic, for that matter many people in the barony have been quite kind to me, much more than I would have ever expected or asked for, and for that I am truly grateful."

"In that sense I find your sentiment relatable, she is under no obligation to treat me this way, for much of my existence I have been just a tool for many, a means to an end, just as it sounds you may have experienced in your servitude in the East Empire, but instead she shows that she truly cares about those around her, and there is no doubt in my mind that she truly cares for those who she is responsible for too."

When she asked him if he was willing to join her, Teuihua nodded. "Yes, I am willing to join you, should Lady Caelia find it agreeable, I would be more than happy too. Our objectives crossover in that sense, the security of the Barony, and if that means acting as an enforcer for peace and justice is necessary, then I have no qualms about helping to fulfill that role." It was nice to hear she seemed to value maintaining justice as he did.

Then there was the matter of tails.

Teuihua didn't particularly feel inclined to try to confirm these 'rumors' to Silvia, even if Teuihua had spent enough time around Regula personally that he had seen her interest in action with how she could get around them.

"I can assure you in my opinion that you look like you are taking good care of yourself. I do not believe there is anything wrong, Lady Caelia has a degree of professionalism which is going to try to maintain, it comes with her role inherently, In addition as you have seen she has been a bit preoccupied mentally; I would not take a perceived lack of interest that you are doing something wrong. I feel confident that she appreciates your efforts to look presentable and appealing, even if it is not overt. Perhaps when there's more of a lull period where she's more relaxed she'll feel inclined to be more open in expressing these sorts of things."

"I on the other hand am under no such constraints external or otherwise, so while I am uncertain how much this means coming from me, I will say it is of my opinion that you are quite fashionable truthfully." Teuihua spoke warmly.

At first, Alister's comment missed its mark spectacularly. “I have been debating if I should find a way to increase my lifespan or stop myself from ageing. It feels like I have too much left that I want accomplish.” She'd reply, until she realised. “Oh, right, yes... you're right.” She'd mumble instead, sipping from her tea again.

She raised an eyebrow at his 'spiteful being'. “There's a lot of spiteful beings watching already, regardless of what veil you're talking about.” She'd reply, knowing there would be plenty who'd rather see her loose her position than keep it. “At the end of the day, I've got multiple people to still prove myself too. I've yet to even meet the Duke and I'm not fully sure even the Count fully trusts me as of yet.” Sighing, she leaned aback again, realising he was making her worry even more, despite the fact that she was meant to calm down a bit.

Whilst the first part of Alister's talk regarding the rumours was comforting, the next bit was worrying. “Right... I... Think I saw that ehm... some folk might've gotten a [Thoroughly Petted] title after... interactions. Whilst I seem to have a [Tail Freak] one upon appraising myself. It's ehm... whatever deity is watching that hands these out has clearly considered it something rather mayor... somehow... so as kind as your offers are, perhaps it'd not be safe enough. It might permanently taint you.” She'd state, making up her mind to not take them up on the offer.

She did perk up at one thing. “Oh, it seems you speak a language unknown to me. Would you perhaps be willing to teach me one day? I have taken an interest in exotic languages and I seem to be able to pick them up rather quickly.”

As Alister made the oath, the other fox-man would speak up as well. “Milady, I do believe that you've learned of the history I share with the rest of the administrative taskforce. To us, such a [Thoroughly Petted] title would be an honour if it was obtained from someone worth serving.” He'd state, tail wagging even faster. “If it were to limit us in our duties, we'd simply need to find a way around it instead.” It seemed he was pretty far gone, in some regards, which might make even Alister second-guess his options.

She'd nod. “You know, when I grew up, I used to hate Constructs with a passion, thinking you'd all taken our natural positions and places in the world from us. After I came to Ryke, that slowly started to shift. Now, I'm even starting to see why the baroness is so fond of you.”

Her head tilted a bit when he mentioned being a tool. “Indeed, though being a tool can be very satisfactory. It's only when you're misused or underappreciated that it becomes a more painful existence.” She'd argue, from her seemingly tainted perspective.

Silvia's tail started wagging up a storm when Teuihua agreed to come help enforce some things. “I'll ask the baroness soon, but I'm sure she'll agree. There should be some very great opportunities for us there.”

His next words were taken into careful consideration. “It seems like we'll have to do a lot of work to create such a period, then.” She'd eventually conclude. “Fashionable... I...” Her tail made a careful wag, as if debating what to think of that. “.... I don't think anyone's ever told me such a thing before.”

Teuihua
​

Interaction: Elvario

"That is not an uncommon stance among those who are [Beast] to my understanding." Teuihua gave a nod when Silvia told him that she had hated constructs before coming to Ryke.

His voice sounded warmer when he added onto the latter part, "It pleases me to hear that, I hope to be a good ally to all of those working toward the Barony's best interests, which of course extends to you."

Teuihua wasn't necessarily in disagreement with her statement, even if it was flavored by her role in servitude.


"I was perfectly satisfied serving as a tool because I know I was doing good work to keep the nation and people within it I care about safe, while carrying out my creator's will, my reason for existing, and all while honoring the very souls who are housed within me, their decision to stay and work toward a common good, was all very fulfilling for me.

There were those who did not trust me, who misused me, and underappreciated me, but frankly when you are in my position, you don't expect people too. You are not created with the expectation of being respected, but performing the task set out to you as effectively and efficiently as possible.

I never was under the assumption that I deserved kindness, being given an opportunity to serve was all I needed, with that said I have greatly appreciated the kindness I have been shown, as it has opened up new feelings in my existence which I was not sure were possible truthfully so in that regard I believe it has enriched my life."

He took notice of her tail wagging, and nodded.

"I imagine there will be, and I agree, I cannot imagine why she would disagree, it is part of my reason for deciding to stay here after all."

He'd nod again, "Yes It would be nice if we could help usher in a time where she is able to relax."

"Is that right? No one's told you that? That's certainly a shame, you deserve the qualifier, I thought fashionable might have been the right word, but I will mention the first word which came to mind when I saw you for the first time was beautiful. With all of this said, I look forward to working with you, I believe we should be able to get a good deal of work done by working together." He added, once again quite warm in how he spoke, facing her.

Alister palmed his face at Regula's wild and out of the left field completely incorrect assumption on Alister's previous words. He didn't want her to make herself ageless or increase her lifespan, that would defeat the point of her needing to rest, and not waste away due to work. Thankfully soon she realised her wrong thinking upon which he sighed.

"Well, the spiteful being is anything really, from those who only wish others to suffer to the things you said that I should not mention today. As for the veil, it's simply the shadow, out of sight, where no one can see them but they can do bad things upon others." Alister simply explained there wasn't really much to explain here it was after all a bit cryptic even if he didn't mean to.

"If you speak one more time about having to prove yourself to someone today, then oooh hold me down Fool, I will knock you out even if I am your servant, if that is the only way to get you to rest. Without rest you won't get far, especially if you wish to shoulder all the work on your shoulders, look at yourself. Sure you might hide it well but I can see eye bags forming under your eyes, you are tired and need rest." Alister scoffed at Regula, and partially at his own ineptitude to make her realize that she needed to rest. But the blame was on both sides, both on his for not being able to convince her and make her rest, and for Regula in her stubbornness to prove herself to not realise she needed rest.

"I don't mind such a title upon myself, I've bore many titles in my life many far far worse than [Thoroughly Petted], I've been called a mutt of war, a church grim, a wolf of death. And those are just the nicest titles I bore in my past. So I would gladly get such a title if it meant you would finally go and take a good rest. Iv been tainted before, and I wouldn't mind being tainted again but this time by my new lord, a friend and a person I can trust." Alister explained shortly, there wasn't really much to explain unless he sat down and explained for hours upon hours.

Upon Regula's interest in his native language, he spun a little plan to get her to rest. "I can gladly teach you my language, though the writing grammar is far far harder to learn than the spoken language. But If you want to learn then I am willing to teach you if you rest for a bit. Yes, I am persistent and stubborn as a mule about YOU having a rest, but to sate even a bit of your curiosity then the name of the language is Ancient Hermese, It is the oldest language in my world, except the forgotten languages which came before but the speakers and writing died out. But still, the language is several epochs old."

“Sounds like a veil that many peer through.” She'd conclude, upon hearing Alister's explanation. A chuckle escaped her lips. A servant threatening to knock her out? She'd neither heard nor expected that one before. “If I'm ever so weak and frail from overworking myself that you'd succeed at such, I wouldn't even mind it.” She'd challenge him with a bit of a grin, though some of his words did land.

Upon hearing both of them say they didn't mind the title, she'd sigh. “If you truly don't mind... Though, I'll say this once more, as it'll potentially limit your abilities to interact with most [Beast] factions. It's not a name-only thing. It might have tangible effects on how your own kin ends up perceiving you in the future.” She'd give both of them a last chance to drop out.

“Which would be my honour, milady!” The fox was quick to reply, having already been brainwashed enough in his previous employ in the East Empire to enjoy such a title and to gladly take upon any shame and blame it might cause him. “Whilst I'll have to ensure our contacts to fellow Beasts that are less... open to such interactions, I shall ensure it won't affect my work to the best of my extend by relying on third parties where needed.” He'd add, tail wagging up a storm at the closer and closer prospect of getting pet.

“Let's just start with the spoken parts, in that case. You'd be surprised at how quickly I'm able to pick up on languages though.” She'd state, having learned a lot of them. “Other than Abyssal, I speak all of this world's mayor ones.” She'd add. That said, it seemed he was pushing her to rest yet again. “Alright, alright. Fine, fine.” She'd state, as she headed over to sit down upon a couch on a side of the study, sitting down in the middle. “It'll be fun to learn this Ancient Hermese, or figure out if that means there's a modern version of it as well, but if you insist...”

She'd patted at the spots of the couch behind her. “I've got two empty spots besides me, two hands that are idle and two people that said they'd not mind being [Thoroughly Petted]... I believe that the calculations on that can only lead to one conclusion, no?”

The [Tail Freak] and perhaps even a hint of [Degenerate] were at their peak. Reynard had no issues, if anything, he was quick to hurry over and place his tail in Regula's lap. Alister might need some more hurdles to overcome, though if/once he joined, he would realise she wasn't a [Tail Freak] in title alone. Her hands knew what they were doing, even if only one of them was dedicated to his tail, it'd find his way through the fluffy appendage with expertise unknown to most, finding its weak spots, applying the exactly perfect amounts of force and not even hesitating to stroke all the way from the tip to the very base of the tail. The hands of a true expert... The only saving grace for him? Regula didn't even keep it up for long, as apparently the act of it was therapeutic enough for the baroness to have her fall asleep halfway through, finally getting some of the extra rest she'd been denying herself for a fair while.

[Tail Freak] - Character displays an unnatural attraction to tails. Creatures with tails will be intuitively concerned within character's presence. Those petted may have lingering feelings of being dirty and regret or receive the title Thoroughly Petted.

[Thoroughly Petted] - Character allows themselves to be thoroughly petted. Any beastman that is made aware of this title will be unable to look the character in the eye, feeling an overwhelming sense of embarrassment on their behalf or will feel angry that a beastmen would allow someone to treat them like a common animal. Character is banned from membership in any beastman factions while title is maintained. Exception are beastmen factions that believe in non-beastman superiority.

She'd nod at Teuihua. “Indeed, though I'm sure the others in the task force will warm up to you as well. Lady Caelia seems to like you, so rather than be jealous, it stands to reason it'd be far better to get along as well, no?” She'd reason, then tilted her head. “We've got a lot more in common than I thought we would.”

As for being told she was fashionable, she'd nod. “Nope, you're a first... Beautiful..?” Her hesitantly wagging tail started to wag a tad more now. “You'd really think that, even though we're not even the same species? Heh... I guess if I can even convince you, perhaps I can convince the baroness as well~ Assuming you don't mind me helping her relax?” She'd state, winking at the Construct, as a plan was forming in her head, unaware that a fellow taskforce official had already beaten her to it.

“Anyhow, I look forwards to working with you!” She'd smile at him. Glad to be able to make the baroness' friends into friends of her own.
