Age Old Advice (Seasonal Post)

A mist has settled over the Nexus this morning.

The fog billows and wisps, keeping destinations hidden from view. Muffling the noise of the plaza, stifling everything into a feeling of bleak isolation. Those who persevere will find a warm orange glow drawing them near. At either end of the Plaza--one near the sprawling parks close to the Wilds and the other closer to the beginnings of the urban sprawl--are two oasis from the creeping cold and mists. Hazel has taken the flame from the bonfire she lit at the Equinox that has burned steadily ever since and spread it out among several torches making up the perimeter of these areas now. The bonfire is long gone, but these two areas remain. When she came into the season she was a roaring blaze. So much to prove. With her place cemented here, she has gotten down to her actual work.

The Autumn spirit is seated on a bench in one of the torch lit circles holding a conversation with a person that's difficult to make out. IN fact, when someone approaches, they will find it's a spirit she is cavorting with. After only a few seconds the figure dissolves into the selfsame mist people have sought out these places to escape from. Hazel turns to her new audience.

"If you could talk to a lost loved one just once more, who would you want to see? What advice would you ask from a loved one deigning to cross the veil to see you?"


((Anyone who chooses to participate may choose to either speak to Hazel in general about the question she's posing or if the player is so inclined Hazel will conjure up the spirit of a lost loved one to speak to your character. Please DM me in DW or discord if you choose to have a loved one appear so we can hash out what you want to do. Curses and Blessings are still available as well. Happy Day of the Dead, folks ;) ))

Thor's had enough dealings with intangible forces and visions that he knows enough to believe her. Norns willing Odin is in Valhalla, where he belongs, but death is not an impenetrable barrier that walls off access to the living. Whether the veil is thin because of the place, the time, or the presence of this nature spirit, it matters little.

He's prayed for Odin before, in the cramped deteriorating prison of the Grandmaster's slave pens, with no hope of knowing if it made any difference. If Odin can hear him now, he'd be a fool to waste the chance to pay his respects.

He's not going to thank her, exactly, after what she did to him. But it's an olive branch nonetheless, one she didn't have to offer, and that's... well, it's something. "I will."
