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.

Open your shirt.

[pulling the water out of her bowl, it floats near her hands and she kneels next to him]

[no_hero]

[following instructions still, just kind of watching that floating water '-']

[oi_theoi]

[the water runs of your chest! It's chilly, and seems to numb the skin on contact, which is probably good because she pulling mud out of your body through your pores and that probably sucks]

[no_hero]

[yeah. no. that really does suck

and there sure is. a lot of it...]

[oi_theoi]

[puts a steadying hand on your shoulder but doesn't let up, as it's pulled out the water swirls a bit, gathering the mud into a ball amid the water]

[no_hero]

[support's good since mostly going to focusing on not focusing on just what it is that's being pulled out of him]

[oi_theoi]

[Shh shhh

It takes a bit but eventually no more mud comes out, and Del twists her finger and the mud spins into a slow ball surrounded by the water]

It should be done.

[no_hero]

[shaky hand going to his chest as he breathes easier, opening his eyes to. stare at that ball of mud.]

... all of that...

[oi_theoi]

[holding it lightly between her hands]

Do you wish to keep it...?

[no_hero]

No.

. . . thank you, but no.

[oi_theoi]

I also prefer you don't keep it, but I've had children ask to before, so I thought I would ask.

[she claps her hands into the water and the mud and both simply disappear]

How do you feel?

[no_hero]

[have to actually. pause to think about that one.

there is maybe a tone of surprise when he answers, looking down at his chest]

... warm.

[oi_theoi]

[=x]

I take it that is good.

[no_hero]

Yes... yes, of course.

Thank you.
