// i should stop procrastinating, lol
The roads were wider. Carts loaded with goods lay stationary on them. The roads lead to the harbour, probably getting exported. Carts had spices, silk, cloth, metal, wood, and a lot more. This was Zenhiras' economic district. A powerhouse itself. It may import or export. It was hard to tell.
Various buildings were across the roads, acting as shops and bazaars. There was definitely a layout. Some of the shops were small, but further in the district, the shops were bigger and more lavish. Most of the bazzars still had their wears. It looked like it was frozen in time. Food did rot, leaving an unbareable stench, but the other goods were in perfect condition.
Many buildings deeper inside the district looked like companies or guilds. These were the biggest buildings here. They were shoulder to shoulder, showing their unity even with the cultural divide. It was impressive how so many different people from different backgrounds shapped this city. The companies controlled the price, production, and quality of the goods. The people here were more advanced than other civilizations and it showed
In the far east near the water, there was a big pyramid like building. It was heavily defended and had a drawbridge as it's only entrance. It was a treasury. A treasury Ayabe and Opera robbed when they arrived here. Safe to say, it had a lot of goods they definitely stole
// to my ffs bros, this just normal Ayabe.
You find an umamusume stargazing. She looks immersed in them, not noticing you at the slightest. She extends her hand out to the stars, as if acknowledging something. She says in a soft, whispery voice...
"Sister..."
When that word was muttered... she slowly drops her hand to her side and smiles.
Now that i used that image to get your attention, i got sum news abt myself
Starting from tmr, i won't rp as much. Why? Because for some reason, my school started its next semester without telling who passed the finals. Real fun. So i will be at school for half of the day. I also might eep early but being sleep deprived is cool. Anyway if you need me for something, dm on reddit or discord (capital_snack)
And here i thought i was free from thinking for a bit :(
// idk what image to use
Ayabe and Void walk the quiet and empty streets of Zenhira. It untouched for decades yet there were no signs of it deteriorating. The sight was unusual but tranquil. There was no noise. No animals came to greet them. Not even the birds sang their songs. It was just the two of them and the silence that fell on them.
The entertainment district was directly intertwined with the cultural district. In fact, they actually entered the district five minutes ago but didn't realise it.
The streets, once full of life, now paint a solemn picture. Stages are visible everywhere. Some of them hold instruments and elegant dresses. As they were used for song and dance. Some of them had comfy cushions for sitting and poetry and stories beside the fallen skeletons. The street was huge. Big enough for any festival for any occasion. There was a big race track. Some chariots were on the track, half broken. Another racetrack was also spotted. This one reminded Ayabe of the races the umamusume compete in.
There was a section for board games. Senet and chess are the only ones Ayabe could recognise. The others were lost to time unfortunately. Another thing she could recognise was betting. And there was a lot of it. Bets on chess, racing, and mundane tasks like how much a cow weighs. It was the most gambling she had seen in her whole life.
One grand stage stood tall. It had instrumentals, games, and culture from every part of the world all positioned neatly like it waits for a performance that will never come
In the center of it all, a colosseum. One of the grandest ones they have ever seen. But unlike the roman colosseum, this one remained tall and unbroken.
I know it's stupid, but sometimes it just feels like it. This community is great. I love it. But sometimes my doubt takes over and makes me think no one cares about me. That they just pity this kid who wandered in here. Idk know why i do this. I know i have severe trust issues, but they were never this overwhelming. I can't rp without thinking if the other person just hates that i ruin their rps. I'm just scared what you guys think about me i guess. I just wish i disappeared from all your lives, and you can life happily knowing this idiot isn't there to annoy you.
I honestly feel like nothing i said made sense, and i made this up just to get attention. Idfk anymore, and i hate it. Maybe it's my lack of sleep or maybe that i am just this attention seeking.
First thing i wake up in the morning and my glasses fucking explode. I don't even have replacements for them. I had to SUPERGLUE them back into one piece.
I will crashout if this glue doesn't stay.
Anyway shoo shoo. Go on with your day. Just had to vent.
After getting cut by a weird arrow. She starts to feel different. Objects she touches suddenly accelerate at high speed and hit the wall, floor, or ceiling hard. It's confusing, to say the least. She goes and takes a walk to clear her head. Maybe she's hallucinating? She hasn't slept in a while. As she walks, she honestly wishes she was faster. Ayabe knows she's fast, but sometimes, her speed can't save the people she holds dear.
Suddenly, her legs start to glow with a reddish energy. She takes one step and instantly crashes into the nearest wall. It was like 5 meters away. Dazed, she falls on the ground and lets her vision come back. She looked at the wall she crashed into. She almost broke through the concrete wall.
"What the hell...?"
She stands up and looks at her leg. Nothing. It's like the reddish energy disappeared. Undeterred by this, she thinks about why it happened and tries to do it again. She focuses on her legs. They start to charge up with the reddish energy. This time, she jumps. As she jumps, she goes flying in the air.
"Oh shit..."
As she falls, she spots some trash to land in. She stays calm and goes the same thing. Focus on her legs and jumps. This time it's midair. The kick lauches her across the air and she falls safely on the trash. Her heart is beating hard from the adrenaline.
"Damn... that was... scary."
Even though her voice remained calm, internally, she was freaking out.
Just then see saw a figure floating beside her, looking at her like it works for her. The figure had her color scheme and looked female.
"What do you want?"
No reply
"Huh... maybe this is what that man told me about. A... stand?"
// before i forget
After following the wires of a camera, Sunbringer and Ayabe come across a new room. One with monitors everywhere. It seems like its monitors were surveying the whole Sunless Coast.
Ayabe touches the seat. Still warm. Someone was here. She sits on it and goes through the cameras trying to find this houses cams.
"Damn it... they were blinded a few minutes ago. Can't see who was here..."
She restores the cams and starts to suvery the area
"Who the hell is this...?"
The winds were quiet in Grand Tracen. Nothing out of the ordinary was sighted. Yet...
You see an umamusume. She's wearing a hood. Looks like trouble. You start to walk up to her, but before you could say anything, she speaks.
"I'm back, Tracen! Miss me?"
It's that weird Ayabe who disappeared a month ago. Looks like she's back to cause more chaos.
