Dellen

[oi_theoi]

Dellen [de-len] Water, Glass, Human Protection, Human Creation	❧ Played by Aviy
Appearance: Female and human, roughly in her 40's and too thin. She has pale skin and hair, but the coloring is just a little inhuman. The main color to her is a pair of incredibly deep blue eyes. She wears loose, off-white, Grecian-style clothing that makes her look both paler and smaller than she is. Her hair is often in disarray, and her overall appearance often appears untended. Despite looking small, underfed, and wafty, when Dellen isn't having an episode, she has a very commanding and warm presence. There is, at all times, a surprising 'weight' about her that marks her unmistakably as divine. Characteristics: Nurturing, monogamous, lesbian, obsessive, demanding, needy, devoted, nonfatal self sacrifice, yandere. Likes: Faithful loving monogamous relationships, being understanding of her, sacrifice for the betterment of others, expressions of love (even twisted ones). Dislikes: Death (human only), poly/orgies/unfaithfulness, material selfishness, rejection, lack of understanding, talking badly about humans, nature.
Shrine: Pale sandstone slab at ground level, behind it is a stack of precarious sandstone making a narrow pillar. On top of the pillar is a large bowl (but with cracks instead of bubbles) filled with crystal clear water. Ritual: Stand on the slab and place your (CLEAN) hands in the bowl to get her attention. Once the agreement is made, place your sacrifice on the slab and sprinkle some water from the bowl onto it.

[Placing his hands in the shrine's bowl.]

Dellen, I would like to address a matter of wellness. Inori knows first aid, but lacks any supplies to use that skill to care for others. If there's anything you can offer...

[oi_theoi]

[appearing next to him]

There isn't much, I'm afraid. I have the power to heal you myself, but as for supplies...

[derpfarmer]

[bowing his head to her]

If you can heal people directly, maybe we can get by with just something to keep people in one piece until we're able to get them to you. She used part of my cloak as a bandage earlier.

[oi_theoi]

I can provide clothing and towels, if you'd like to tear those into bandages.

[derpfarmer]

If it worked before, I don't see why it wouldn't again. Probably the towels, so they can be a little bit even.

[oi_theoi]

Very well. Do you have anything for me?

[derpfarmer]

At the moment, I have myself. If I'm fast, I might be able to grab a spider that I killed. I suppose the question is what you would consider a proper trade.

[oi_theoi]

I always accept the hearts, rib cages, and lungs of animals. But you may also do deeds of kindness and generosity in my name.

[derpfarmer]

I like the second option! I can perform for people to cheer them up.

[oi_theoi]

That would be wonderful. You must offer it to me before you do, and if so you may come to me afterward for your reward.

[derpfarmer]

Sure, I can do that. Maybe I'll go with a ballad the first time. Is there a specific way to dedicate it?

[birdonawire]

[places his hands in the bowl]

...really hope this works...

[oi_theoi]

[I AM SORRY I HAVE BEEN SUCKING '-']

Just say that you do this in my name, and I will be there to see.

[oi_theoi]

It works. Hello.

[birdonawire]

—whoa. I-I mean... hello.

[bows his head]

[oi_theoi]

My name is Dellen, were you looking to ask me something?

[birdonawire]

[nods quickly]

My friend got bitten — he has a fever. I was told you're the one to talk to. I brought like, four dragons' worth of organs...

[oi_theoi]

I understand. Bring me a heart, a set of lungs, and your friend.

[birdonawire]

Okay. I'll be right back.

[darts off!]






[and is back in a couple of minutes, half-dragging an unconscious Wally. it's fairly undignified. being tiny sucks.]

[backinaflash]

[grumbling in his fever-sleep. why can't i have a best friend over five feet and 80 pounds?]

[birdonawire]

[sets Wally delicately on the floor :( annnd gets the assortment of dragon parts]

... I cleaned them as well as I could. I've never really done this before.

[derpfarmer]

I'll do it as soon as I can!

[oi_theoi]

That's fine. Place them on the alter.

[stepping down to inspect Wally, putting a hand on his forehead, and then checking the wound]

[birdonawire]

[does, keeping one eye on Dellen, obviously concerned]

[oi_theoi]

[the organs disappear!

and Dellen kisses Wally's forehead gently =x

he should instantly feel much better]
