( Emilia di Carlo's hair has seen better days.

It looks suspiciously nest-like, and one of her sleeves singed and torn. The further she and Wrath walk back into the village, the more she feels it: the mark of hollowed things. The withered trees and the dying river beds. ... To say they have missed out on recent developments is an understatement.

But they do not come without news of their own.
)

We were able to go very deep into the volcano and discovered something in the process.

( For this rare moment, Wrath appears to be somewhat disheveled as well. His hair is out of place. There's light scratch marks upon his cheek. His suit is singed. His sleeve on the right sight has been entirely burned away, revealing a muscular arm. In his pocket, he carries with him a piece of what they found though he has little interest in mentioning that out loud just yet. He wants to understand what it is first, and so he glances at Emilia with a grim nod and then supplies further: )

At the center of the volcano, an apparent naturally made mirror is being used as a cork to hold back a mounting level of lava, a potent flow of magic, and an unimaginable number of spirits. The pressure appears to be mounting.

( ooc: vi and i had a hiatus in april, and this help explains the absence of emilia and wrath during that time. EDITED the following day when i realized i missed a detail about the volcano. it was naturally made from a large pool of dark water. )

As a witch? You bet I do!

... unfortunately, I currently don't have any of my own.

( yes, hi. as a fellow witch who has some of her own magic inaccessible to her, this piques her curiosity. )

What happened to your magic?
traaaaaash: (uh huh.)

[personal profile] traaaaaash 2022-05-22 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
My curse happened.

[ You know, the one she already had before she came here. ]

( Oh, hey. She has one of those, too. Mood. )

They're far more widespread than I once believed.

( But then, she's learned much of what she once believed was a lie. )

It's a downright plague around these parts!

Well.

Should we contain this plague and prevent the volcano's eruption, if you are willing I'd like to ask questions about it.

( her curse. )
traaaaaash: (hmmmm)

Uhhhhhhhhhhh. Sure.

[ Kay so. She's gotten pretty used to being open about the curse around her loved ones. But strangers are still a different matter. But hey, self acceptance, baby steps, etc.? ]
