That is certainly a pleasing colour. I suppose it's only fair if I send a picture as well, though I'm not looking anywhere near as bewitching as you tonight.
[The picture he sends shows Liem somewhere in Emerald Park, dressed in his freshly-laundered and repaired inquisitor's robes, with his bow slung over one shoulder. He's also very clearly holding a dead rabbit.]
[Oh no, the rabbit emoji... ! Somewhere in an underground club in Sapphire, a centaur-turned-dryad gets the giggles alone in the VIP...
But oh, the picture... She stares at it rather fondly, completely ignoring a drink some poor sap has had sent over. The moon... Nikolai taught her about the moon. And "moons", too.]
LIEM is right. the moon is very beautiful tonight. now i can see.
[Even before he's actually sent his reply, he sees the Incoming Call notification pop up on his screen. Perhaps he's about to find out.
Liem accepts the call and starts walking again, clutching his phone between his ear and shoulder as he secures his rabbit so it's hanging from his belt.]
[Liem ranges pretty far out into Emerald Park on his outings, so the noises of the city have faded almost completely, and for the most part are masked entirely by the susurration of the wind in the trees and the chirping of crickets and frogs. It's a peaceful, serene experience—except for the tinny EDM pulsing from his phone speaker. Liem listens for a long quiet moment, during which he simply walks along a narrow game trail passing through the forest. Eventually, he speaks again.]
it is so loud! thank gods i am DRYAD now or maybe ear hurts so much…
yes! see?
[the next attached photo is a picture of the club’s dance floor, and even though it’s a bit blurry… that sure is a lot of people really close and a lot of skin wao]
[Well, he can see that Konoha isn't exactly under-dressed despite the amount of skin her dress is showing. He supposes it must get quite warm in there with all those bodies so close together.]
There doesn't really look like a lot of room for dancing. If any of them attempted a good spin, they'd probably smack a person for each direction on the compass.
[because yes they are, Liem??? it's not even dancing it's just sexy movements...]
yes he is living in faerie world mostly but human world outside sounds like future world to i.
but actually now i remember does LIEM remember after cursed GEM transforming there was many strange dream? then i see CARDAN's home big elf and faerie party and no one dance like this but faerie in this world is much
That sounds right, actually. At least, elves in my world have a reputation for being that way.
The most well-known elven goddess is known as the patron of lust and revenge. I have never been to one of her services, but I have heard some... outlandish tales about them.
It's possible that the rumours are exaggerated, but yes, that is generally the idea.
[If even half of what he's heard about Calistria's services is true, they must make Noctian culture look chaste by comparison.]
I've heard that whippings are also involved, and hallucinogenic drugs. To be fair, though, that might just be something that gossipy Taldans made up to titillate their friends.
Yes, I don't think that particular religion is for me. Even if it's much more tame than rumours would suggest.
The whipping rumours must be at least a little true though, I think. Perhaps whipping is reserved for punishments, for taking vengeance? But I know that the whip is sacred to Calistria.
Well, some people like that sort of thing. Not with the kind of whip that would leave scars though, usually.
But I agree, it's not for me. Too painful.
[He's suffered too many bad memories of being struck, in too many different situations. He's never been able to stomach that sort of play without the fear starting to creep into the fantasy.]
I wasn't always sure that Abadar's church was the right place for me, but there's nowhere else I can imagine being now. Maybe if I hadn't grown up in such a large city, I might have found my way into Erastil's care instead. They are not such different gods, in some ways.

It's quite lovely out tonight. I know it doesn't really look the same in the middle of the city.
[He sends another photo, this one catching a couple of Noctium's moons over the crowns of the trees.]

LIEM is right.

no subject
Don't forget to drink plenty of water, Konoha. I wouldn't want you to become ill.
no subject

promise.
but do not forget the bad music, LIEM
is so so bad
[and is that... yup, Konoha's calling. ring... ring...]

Hello? Konoha?

But he will hear…
EDM.]
no subject
You're right. This is terrible.
no subject

no story to words?
just saying random thing over and over while instruments are banging loud!
is like making my hearts beat strange
heart
what is appeal?
CARDAN say dancing
and yes people here like but
no…
no subject
[Sorry to every human or gem he has ever privately had this thought about.]
Is there a lot of dancing going on there?
no subject
thank gods i am DRYAD now
or maybe ear hurts so much…
yes!
see?

Have you been out on the dance floor too, Konoha?
no subject
correct!
they are not spinning
most is moving hip and rump
and raising arms to jump?
i tried with CARDAN!
but this dancing type feels like half sex
is too embarrassing…
no subject
[Is that gem over on the left rubbing their butt up against the person behind them...?]
Does Cardan come from a future world also? I have to admit to being surprised that an elf would seek out a place like this.
no subject
[because yes they are, Liem??? it's not even dancing it's just sexy movements...]
yes he is
living in faerie world mostly
but human world outside
sounds like future world to i.
but actually
now i remember
does LIEM remember after cursed GEM transforming
there was many strange dream?
then i see CARDAN's home
big elf and faerie party
and no one dance like this but
faerie in this world is
much
free
in public.
so maybe for CARDAN this much is nothing...
no subject
[Much free... in public...]

elf in LIEM's world is also like this?
lust and revenge sounds perfect...
orgy tale?

no subject
no i do not like...
no thank you...
whipping is so mean also
so may be TALDAN gossip surely
[.......... but Cardan does have all those whip scars... and he did drug her that one time...]
no subject

no subject
i think ABADAR is much more good for LIEM...
i will say hello next time also
hello ABADAR...
whip must be punishment no?
is what whip is for...
no jinba will join this religion i think
i say again no thank you
too painful
leaves nasty scars
no subject
