Coatli hummed in agreement about nature as she took out a glass for Saima and she figured, sure, why not take the night slow. She placed the glasses on the counter and popped open the bottle before pouring them some tequila.

“Alright, salud! to hopefully my memories returning quickly!” she raised her glass.

“Salud, to your memories returning!“ Raising their glass, Saima toasted with Coatlicue before taking a drink from their glass. It was high quality and they relished the way that the drink went down. They never doubted that Coatlicue’s supply would be great, but it was still wonderful to have a good drink.

Their compliment had Tzipporah beaming. It was always fun to see how entranced their guests were with their shows, but when it was Tzipporah’s new friend, it made her ecstatic. 

“I’m so glad you think so!” she happily signed, before gesturing to the space behind them, empty save for a few performers that were lingering. “I’d be happy to show you around the grounds. If you’re not busy of course” 

It only seemed fair to recognize the skill and effort that went into a good performance. It appeared natural for Saima to be drawn to these kinds of spaces in some fashion. 

“You’re very welcome. Ah – I’d love to check out the grounds. I just wanted to see you – so that would be great!“ Nothing like seeing the behind the scenes in a way – it gave a lot of insight into how people prepped for the show.

@seekesotsibteadmist liked for THIS starter from HADES

   “ There is a common misconception that I will arise from the earth in a chariot of flaming red fire, led by great black stallionsall untrue, mind you. The fire is blue, Hades says, glancing briefly at the chariot beneath the trees, led by large black horses, before looking forward at the other. “ Casual conversation aside, why have I been summoned ? ”

   Listening to Hades, Saima glances briefly at the chariot – impressed by horses and the style with which he carries himself. Attention back to the summoned god, they pause for a moment before answering. “Getting ready for the All Souls period – wanted to ask about interesting tributes to the dead that you’ve seen over the years.” They always wanted to know about how other deities dealt with dealt in a cultural context – and asking directly felt like as fair a way to find out as any.

   “This honestly feels like shedding a somewhat comfortable but ultimately unsatisfying and confining skin. It’s the only comparison that I can even picture with this kind of change.”

“Perfect,” she snapped her fingers, already knowing this was going to be fun. “Do you have a preference? I’d give you the honors on choosing our first victim.”

   “I always like scaring those who seem too full of themselves. Tend to be high-power types. It’s fun making them lose their composure. I’m sure we could find one of those quite easily.” The whole idea of picking someone to scare was already making Saima excited enough.

“Nature should be well taken care of,” Coatli nodded, anyone who respected nature was on her protect list. There were so few of those.

“Hmm, that is very sweet of you to say. Not sure my children would have the same sentiment.” Not that she knew where her children were. She had the sense they were dead and if she was being honest, she was not too sure she wanted to remember that particularly part of her past.

“Indeed. It’s so easy for people to take advantage of it – but..it’s really the only thing that’s been here all along.“ Saima had always been incredibly attached to nature, it felt quite close to their core.

“…Perhaps not. But I was just saying things from what I knew. Of course, your children would likely have more direct experience to know for sure. “

“I’ll take your word for it, unless I do decide to start dabbling in video editing. Hmm, I might have a new hobby on the horizon.” Erzsi wasn’t really good with technology, but maybe with a little practice she could pick up a new hobby.

“I can tell! I haven’t seen you this happy in a couple years. It’s a great look for you.” She complimented them with a sincere smile. “How do you keep the energy up for the entire show? It looks exhausting.”

“You never know what you might get into.“ Still they appreciated the vote of confidence in their ability. 

“Thanks. I had to make a lot of changes to get this happy – so it’s really been a work of process.“ It had been transformative over the past few years – with coming into their true self after years of hiding it or not being aware of it. It feels like becoming a whole another being. 

“It looks exhausting but I get an energy from performing that just kind of enthuses me and gives the power and the ability to just channel that sense of wonder into music.“

@seekesotsibteadmist!!

        she’s sitting outside her apartment with her one, so far, bulldog puppy and her cat. said puppy is bundled up like a tiny burrito in a patched together baby onesie and trying to gnaw at her fingers. she gestures at the cat.

              ❝ she’s okay to pet, but andromeda may nibble your fingers. ❞

    “Good to know. I’m willing to risk a little nibble – but giving attention to the cat should be good for now.” With that, Saima bends down so that they can pet the cat. It was just easy for them get along with most creatures – and thus they enjoyed showering them with attention. 

“How long have you had your pets?“

[text] I’ll be there.  Now just the matter of figuring out what outfit.

   As time passes, the energy of the land seems to undergo a transformation. It’s a process that feels refreshing despite everything preparing to rest for the seasons.  Spending time in the bogs, in the wider expands of land, Saima finds a way to immerse themselves in the changes that seem inevitable. This happens every year, for millenia, and yet it feels special every time. Maybe it’s because Saima has this attachment to the environment that they can’t help but feel so enthusiastic about the way the leaves fade. 

In the casual noise of preparing for the winter months, they take the moment to wander – indulging in a habit, a ritual even of their existence. For what was the fate of the restless but to always be on the move, to always need to go somewhere, anywhere if only for a little while. 

A certain magic flows through them – connecting them with the many that they have encountered in the past. The time for All Souls is coming and already the memories of the ghosts and such entities are readily coming to mind. To honor those who have survived in the spite of everything that this place and its people has been subjugated to over the years. To those who create, to those who protect their communities, to those who just try to make it through the day, the respect and honor is something that the entity will always pay in this season. In this time of reflection, they allow themselves a bit of time to remember. So many memories go through their mind, it’s enough to hide away to process even a section of them.

But maybe in that isolation, they find a peace that is often the very thing that they need during this part of the season cycle.
