Ygin

[oi_theoi]

Ygin The Unknown, Madness, Fear, Night	❧ Played by Nishi
Appearance: It is impossible to get a clear picture of Ygin all at once. It has feminine hands, but a clenched, lantern jaw. You might see the line of a cloak, hunched and stooped, but you might also see flowing, black hair. It has a long, lizagon-like tail, and the presence of it is most often the only consistent sign it is openly in the area. The voice is a low, genderless whisper, directly in the person’s right or left ear, inaudible to anyone else. You might sometimes hear feathers, or the rasp of scales, gurgles or scrapes. The smell is dry and papery, or wet and fetid. Whenever Ygin is around, people will feel a tight feeling between their shoulder blades, as if something is watching them. Characteristics: Childlike, insatiably curious, sadistic, inquisitive, ponderous, demanding, fickle, irrational and sometimes outright gibberingly insane. Likes: Courage, terror, chimeras, were creatures, shape shifters who lose control by nature, self-awareness, emotional vulnerability, hallucination-prone people, scrying or dreaming powers, phobias, playing mind games Dislikes: Bravado, rhetoric, scholarly learning, order, science, machinery, unflappable people, people without curiosity, obtuse people, bright lights, restrictions.
Shrine: The shrine presents itself as a dark opening in the wall. It’s large enough to walk into, but you cannot see, hear or sense anything inside. Ritual: Getting its attention can be as simple as putting a hand in the opening, but walking entirely in is guaranteed to get an answer and quite a bit more favor.

[As you speak and watch, the darkness slowly seems to roll out, a fine mist this time. It settles and curls around the offerings, as if exploring them.]

She was . . . beautiful. Fierce.

Re: 72 evening

[oi_theoi]

[The tendrils solidify, molding into a heavy black shape. The tentacles pull the offerings into the darkness.]

Re: 72 evening

[thevineintervention]

Well, don't wait up, I think!

Re: 72 evening

[oi_theoi]

[The dark swallows her.

... And goes flat and hard in her wake.]

[ --fskdl offguard

Re: 72 evening

[oi_theoi]

[The dark presses back around it, stretching tendrils between your fingers. They stretch and curl, holding your hand like a lover would..]

Re: 72 evening

[ fine. fine.

Re: 72 evening

[oi_theoi]

[Inside the darkness is warm, sliding over her skin watery threads. The smell in the air is sharp, the vague tang of poison. Something moves, slurping in the gooey thick carpet of something she walks through.]

Re: 72 evening

[thevineintervention]

Aah- He and I, we walk together, but this is no place for him. He likes... orderly things. Mm, pieces that fit together smoothly, ticking things and numbered things, you know? He even swears by the light. This is... intimate, isn't it? Between the three of us.


But forgive me, had it wished for him?

Re: 72 evening

[oi_theoi]

[You feel the enormous heart of the matronly beast settle into your hands.

It flutters a moment, rhythm disturbed... and settles into a quicker, fluttering pace.. the one you can hear in your own ears.]

make yours

take in

eat

Re: 72 evening

[thevineintervention]

[ she sort of expected that, given the heart's state. oddly, there's nothing about the flesh or the size she finds intimidating. Fires Above, it's probably not the first time she's eaten a heart for wacky god times. if its a god's will, certainly she must be capable.

Still, it's unnerving to say the least, to realize what rhythm, exactly, it is falling into. her own heart lurches when she realizes it, the one in her hands speeding up in turn. ]

A-aaah. [ she nods, swallows ] Mine...

[ she breathes slowly for a few moment, bringing her parted lips to the heart carefully ]

Re: 72 evening

[oi_theoi]

[You can't see it, but the aroma fills your nose. Deep, primal, the tang of blood, and something wilder. There's something there, in the quiver of the muscle throbbing on your hands, that seems to echo through your bones, bringing her roar bubbling up through the back of your mind.]
