Tare [tair]
Romance, Courtship, Zephyr

❧ Played by Niyx

Appearance: Medium height and light of build, Tare is a very graceful being – though whether one sees hir as a god or a goddess is entirely to their own decisions. Appearing in the late teens to early twenties, xe is highly androgynous with hir basic form a slender youth with short, dark brown hair and dark eyes. Xe wears a light colored, loose sweater with a wide neck which leaves one of hir shoulders bare, and comfortable capri style pants in an light tan. Hir shoes are comfortable sandals with a slight heel, and xe wears woven hemp for bracelets and a necklace with a small, gold charm.

Tare has a tendency to only appear as a breath of wind or movement of air when xe doesn't feel like showing hir face or when xe dislikes someone. Xe will never not appear at all when called though.

Characteristics: Elusive, gentle, capricious, emotional, voyeuristic, polyamorous, easily miffed, passive aggressive, ingenuous.

Likes: Watching people, positive emotional connections and responses, happy endings, fresh scents, freedom of movement.

Dislikes: Prostitution, marriages of convenience, emotionless or cold people, unclean things, stagnant air, entrapments.

Shrine: A wisteria vine grows in the corner of the room with a delicate wind chime suspended within it. A simple metal hoop with four twisted glass bars hanging in the center of it.

Ritual: Blow softly across the chimes to call hir. Xe may or may not appear physically, but if xe is present and listening, the chimes will continue to ring softly as though caught in a gentle breeze.

What would you need me to do?

Eventually the lower floors will need to be cleaned of the rot -- tossing it out and well away from the building is important.

For now, the quickest solution would be large scale air purifiers. It would take at least ten to handle the whole of the second floor. For that, I will require the wings and lungs of flying creatures, with the worth of each set based on the size. Those from a red lizagon would be worth two units, the larger greens worth one, and the hound-sized lizagon would require two for a single unit. Each unit would work for a span of a week before the same offering would be required to maintain them.

For the third and fourth floors which simply need the air stirred, place wind ornaments and flower arrangements at each of the apartment doorways. The arrangements will need to be replaced with fresh flowers as they start to wither.

You are of course encouraged to work with others and seek their assistance in this.

I was giving it to Ur'ghaste actually, he likes that kind of stuff so I figured it was best for everyone. I can go kill a couple of lizagons, and flowers are easy, I can do that. Hopefully we can get it all cleared and up to Ur'ghaste soon enough, it would suck if this lasted all week.

Bringing it up here spreads the smell further.

But my roommate really likes pickling things, it is maybe his favourite thing, and Ur'ghaste can make medicine we can use for the clinic, and I don't like wasting stuff we can sacrifice. I can bring you more sacrifices for more air fresheners if it's really a problem.

More will be fine... planted flowers around this area would be nice.

I'm really good with plants, if we got some seeds I might even be able to make them grow without being all doomy and poisonous.

[considers and nods slightly]

Ask three people to tell you what being in love means to them, and I will provide you with seeds.

[sdf;al /////////] Er, that's a little personal...

Oh?

[Shakes his head] I can ask, sure.

Was there anything else you needed?

No, that's it, thanks. I'll go ask some people now for you.

I'll see you again when you're ready then.

[and xe disappears though the fresh breeze lingers around the shrine]
