. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .
As you wander past the old market board, cluttered with curling notices and sun-bleached handbills, your hand pauses on something different, quieter, but no less captivating. A humble flyer bears a delicate ring of bluebells, painted in gentle watercolors that seem to breathe beneath your gaze.In looping, earnest script, it reads: Bluebell Collections.

"Step softly, dear traveler, for you’ve just found a trove of the curious and the enchanted. Here, upon timeworn shelves, within the confines of a traveling wagon, lie trinkets and treasures, bits and baubles, and peculiar oddments all kissed by the whisper of the aether.Whether you seek a charming token for a loved one, a practical bauble for your daily toils, or something wondrously wild for a daring escapade- you’ll find it nestled here, waiting patiently to choose you. Every piece, lovingly handcrafted or carefully reclaimed from hidden hollows and faraway glades, carries a story... perhaps even a secret or two.For those with more arcane needs, bespoke services await: we divine the mysteries of aether-touched objects and, should you wish it, weave new enchantments into your own cherished items- tailored precisely to your heart’s intent.Find the wagon upon the road, seek out the shop in the summer, linger a while, share your story and needs- let the magic find you."

Hardly the flashiest among the crowd of pages, yet there’s something about this one... Something in the softness of the blooms, the way the ink dances like it remembers being rain. Your fingertips brush the paper- a subtle tingle, like early spring wind through tall grass, flutters up your arm.It hums with life. With invitation.
And really now, would one little detour be such a bother?

꧁The Shop꧂

• Interactive Shop Map (coming soon!!)

. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .
As your boots carry you along the winding cobblestone path, the hush of the forest wraps around you like a well-worn shawl. The air is cool and sweet beneath the ancient boughs, their leafy canopies swaying gently with a breeze that smells faintly of lavender, loam, and something stranger still- like forgotten dreams and midnight dew.Wood creaks softly in the distance, a sound not of menace but of the forest sighing in its sleep. Crickets trill their secrets, toads croon from hidden hollows, and birds sing sweet, unhurried notesThen, just beyond a curtain of wild ferns and swaying thistles, you glimpse it: nestled among ivy and shadow, a cottage appears as if coaxed from the forest floor itself. Its white stone walls and dark timber beams seem gently slouched with age, like an old friend resting after a long tale. Moss-laced vines curl lovingly across the thatched roof, blurring the line between cottage and canopy.Gables carved with swirling runes and floral sigils catch the dappled sunlight, and a stout chimney puffs now and then as if the house itself were a living thing no different than the trees. An unruly garden spills across the front- a tumble of herbs, glowing blossoms, and plump vegetables, all in cheerful, enchanted chaos.Stone steps, timeworn, lead to a half-wrapped porch adorned with overflowing flower boxes and chairs that look as though they’ve heard many a secret. The door, a faded bluebell color, bears a small, burnished brass plate etched with elegant script: Bluebell Collections.Around the side, a mossy path of meandering flagstones leads to a snug little wagon house where a black chocobo naps lazily in a sun-drenched paddock; feathers gently ruffled by the wind, one eye half-open as if to make sure you’re not up to anything too curious.There’s a stillness here, but not the kind that suggests silence. Rather, it’s the pause before a page turns. The hush before the magic begins. Will you venture inside?

✺ Location
East along the road headed towards Quarrymill from Buscarron's Druthers, over the bridge, tucked deep into the thick forests. (No plot location)✺ Balance
Everything about this shop seems in line with Elemental Law. Every plant naturally present to the Wood, or otherwise blessed and cleansed (and contained!), and things kept wild and natural. Nothing more than what is needed is taken, nothing more is asked.✺ Seasonal and Story
Avianne is most often at her shop during the summer months, though stops when she's close by are inevitable if the story draws her closer. As she is a 'travel by foot' character, most of the time when she's not there, she's simply not there!✺ Guarded
When the shop is without its keeper, a group of guards can be seen watching over the place. It also seems to receive regular visits from adventurers and members of the Botanist Guild. Soldiers have even been seen checking in now and again. Perhaps the owner is in good with the community? Perhaps there's more going on?

꧁The Wagon꧂

An OOC Note
The wagon has recently been destroyed, and a new one is in the process of being built with new ingenuity! Until it is, the only place to get wares is the shop location above.See the OOC information here for more details on how you can help!

. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .
Tucked just off the winding path — where the moss grows thick between the roots and wild violets bloom without asking — sits a wagon unlike any you’ve seen before. The massive destrier black chocobo that usually guides this wagon rests close by, one eye on you, and a whistle of warning (or greeting) meets you. The wagon rests peacefully beneath a willow's hush, nestled into the clearing like it belongs there.The wagon is a quaint, cobbled-together marvel of wood and whimsy — its painted panels a patchwork of forest hues, with curling vines of bluebells hand-painted across its sides. Little lanterns dangle from its awning, each one softly glowing with a light that never quite decides if it’s candle, firefly, or starlight.The air around it hums — not loudly, but with the quiet thrill of hidden things. Inside, one can spy crates, bags, and all manner of things which hide the truth within. Raw materials? Adventurer's clothes neatly packed away? Goldsmith's tools etched with arcanist symbols? Curiosity nibbles at your good sense. Hanging from the curved ribs of the canvas cover are herbs, colorful potion bottles that catch the sunlight like stained glass, and pouches of unknown contents. Oddments and wonders: glittering jars of crystaldust, half-sung spells in corked bottles, herbs that twitch ever so slightly, and charms that smell faintly of honey and rain.This is The Bluebell Wagon, come to call — a traveling trove of aetheric trinkets, thoughtful enchantments, and peculiar things that seem to find you rather than the other way around.You didn’t expect to see it here, of course.
But then again… magic has its own sense of timing and who's to tell when it will return?
. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .

✺ Travel Range
Can be found traveling anywhere in The Black Shroud, Thanalan, and across the strait to Limsa Lominsa. Sometimes travels take her to Gyr Abania or areas of La Noscea but in Coerthas or Pagalthan, the wagon has never been seen.✺ Seasonal and Story
Avianne sticks to the Shroud in the summer and travels the main roads from Limsa Lominsa, through Thanalan, and to the Shop location in the South Shroud the rest of the year, but as a primarily 'on foot' traveler, her location is always dependent on the story.✺ Home on the Road
Home away from the Shop, Transportation, Customized Mobile Workshop, and Safe Treatment Station for the wounded found on the road or in the wilds. Who needs an inn room when everything you need can be found here and turned into a camp in the glories of nature? This wagon has all kinds of tricks up its sleeves, but be warned, not all of them are of whimsy and charm.✺ Black Chocobo
A massive black chocobo is this wagon's protector, and the whole thing seems built around it. Each component is custom-sized to fit the massive beast. Are they territorial? What other defenses does this thing have?

Custom Items

I'm always looking to spark inspiration and RP, so this little shop is designed to be a gateway into adventures. My character is always in need of something, be it from a merchant, a crafter, a toy maker, a bounty hunter, an archivist, or a good ol' adventurer. I enjoy leaning into other characters and crafting adventures that suit them and bring to life the individual you have created. It's also a way for me to be creative and sell useless items like 'Handbag of Disappearing Gil', which always seems to lose just enough gil that you can't pay for your drinks. Or on a more serious note, it's a way to get your character that item you've always wanted, just to add some flavor, or start/complete a character arc with some significance and 'physical' representation.The goal is to enrich story, create RP connections between multiple players, and create a more living, breathing world.The How To
There are always a few items up on this carrd as inspiration strikes or as items are claimed so you can start by looking there and seeing if there's anything that strikes your imagination and inspires you. If there is, or you want to take an idea and alter it slightly for your character, reach out OOCly so we can coordinate something together!If there's something more specific you're looking for, reach out and we'll have a chat to see what can be done. Be warned: I ask a lot of questions to make sure I am providing you with the best experience I can!What to Expect
A lot of questions. I want to know the vision in your mind, so the more details you have, the better!At least 1 RP event. Everyone will have a pick-up for their item/s that are already created (in stock or from a letter your character sends), but the more complex, powerful, or custom your item is, the more events are requested. Especially, if elements of the item are going to be gathered by other players!Sometimes your character might just be asked to sit and wait it out while the thing is being made. Other times, characters will be requested to go along with the Owner or her contacts to gather items or test something out. This depends on the item and the complexity and your comfort level with involving more people- It's highly encouraged.An item write-up (and art, where I can manage!) including all the personal touches that make it yours.

. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .
For Adventurers and Contract Seekers
. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .

All open contracts are up for grabs. You can either send me a tell, or just recognize her wherever you see her for the common ones to start the interaction. Others might be a 'see the Adventurer's Guild for a linkpearl if interested'These are quests that may be undertaken alongside Avianne as a character, with one of her trusted contacts, or solo with me, simply DMing the experience for you through descriptions and NPCs. Options vary depending on the complexity of the task, the competency of your character/group of characters, as well as the desired outcome for your character, but these are commonly multi-week or sometimes month-long storylines dedicated to the completion of the contract and your characters' development.If you come up to me and simply say you fulfilled the contract, you've missed the point entirely.The How To
There are always a few contracts up on this carrd as inspiration strikes or as those stories are run through their course. You can start by looking there and seeing if there's anything that strikes your imagination and inspires you. If there is, or you want to take an idea and alter it slightly for your character, reach out OOCly so we can coordinate something together!If there's a more specific story or experience you're looking for, reach out, and we'll have a chat to see what can be done. Be warned: I ask a lot of questions to make sure I am providing you with the best experience I can!What to Expect
A lot of questions. I want to know the vision in your mind, so the more details you have, the better!Requests for any no-go topics, content ratings, and preferences on descriptions, phobias, or other content. I'm not here to make people uncomfortable, but I prefer in depth, detailed, open writing topics that are handled respectfully so I do request lines drawn from those I create stories for/with.At least 2 RP events, but the more complex, deadly, emotional, or custom your contract is, the more events are requested. Especially, if it is going to be gathered by other players!Sometimes Discord may be asked simply to help coordinate and keep track of things, sometimes it will be asked during events for quick and effective communication.A custom experience to you and your characters. Sometimes maps, music playlists, custom items, custom NPCs, and other players will be involved. It depends on the complexity of the adventure.I hope a fantastic story to take away for your character!

. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .
For Thieves and Rivals
. . . . . ︵‿︵‿︵‿︵. . . . .

I love a great thief storyline! I love rivals, be they new or established in the past! It adds so much life to a character, and it can be a very fun, engaging, and emotional journey in writing and themes. However, there has to be trust on both sides to make the most of it.
Let's have a conversation!Communication is not Negotiable!
Before we venture further, the first rule, and the everlasting rule in RP, is communication. More so when we start pitting characters against one another. Established power scales, abilities, interests, consequences, and above all else, a clean break between character and player are essential building blocks. If you intend to go down this route, expect conversations OOCly. The more involved the rival/theft storyline, the more communication there will be expected.Story, not Ego
I am here to tell and experience great stories. To do that, we must sacrifice a bit of our ego to best be able to find the amazing story potential that can be had. By nature, these topics put characters against one another, but that does not mean we are against one another! Story over ego, and it all loops back to Communication is not Negotiable.Consiquences
For every action....
If your character breaks the laws of the universe (be it written or implied law, customs or cultural, or aetherical), there should be consequences. That's part of the fun! If your character 'cannot' be caught, 'always' knows they are being followed, or the way out of some situation, or can simply blast their way through a wall of guards leaving naught but mist in their wake there's not a lot there to interact with and I will not be the best writer for you!

Combat and Character Action

Rules around combat, character actions, and expectations are critical in all forms of RP once that point is reached. Everyone has to be aligned on these things. Personally, I prefer the random element that rolls can have on a scene. It creates the opportunity for creativity that might not have otherwise been present, and it also keeps things moving at a good pace during an event.Rolls and Roll Systems
I am most comfortable with roll combat outside of those who have been writing with me for some time. In my events, I will typically use a very simple roll system similar to a dueling roll, a high or low roll, or a threshold roll. From time to time, if the event chains are long enough, modifiers can be added in for more flavor, but I am happy to use others if I am given enough time to practice with them.Implied Character Abilities
I'm not going to make you roll for everything. If your character can do something, has proven that they can, or it's strongly implied that they can, I will rely on your best judgment of your character and ask questions if I feel the need. On the other hand, if there is something in the story that, regardless of character skill or ability, has a chance at a different outcome than the expected, a roll may still be asked. It may also be asked at seemingly random intervals that have everything to do with the behind-the-scenes work as the host.Freeform Combat via Emote
Pure emote-based combat is reserved for trusted writers or in specific circumstances.Consiquences
For every action....
Kill everyone in a place instead of sneaking in? Cast fireball in a distillery producing some of the most nose-curling alcohol? Strike an Imortal Flame instead of talking to them?These are all 100% In-Character Choices that should be seen as options; however, when taking them, do understand that I will bring the full extent of logic and setting law to the moment or after it. Consequences and limitations are what make writing so much fun and enjoyable so lets embrace them!

The Point
The purpose of these tasks is to create great stories and bring members of the community together in small ways.You may find yourself working alongside Avianne, with one of her trusted contacts (other players or NPCs), or solo with me, simply DMing the experience for you.Options vary depending on the complexity of the task, the competency of your character/group of characters, as well as the desired outcome for your character and for yourself! Sometimes these are simple one off tasks completed in a few hours of these are commonly multi-week or sometimes month-long storylines dedicated to the completion of the contract and your characters' development.If you come up to me and simply say you fulfilled the contract, you've missed the point entirely.

These are flavored more towards RP than game function, though there is the attempt to make it as close as possible while still making sense and not having a great deal of overlap!

Job Indicators

Charity, Benevolence, and Munificence: Volunteers are asked to serve where there is no reward. Donate goods to, act upon, or fund the need.Concord and Unity: Stand together with others to overcome!Constancy and Sincerity: Recurring and seemingly never-ending tasks that are repeated habitually on a set schedule.Diligence: Leave nothing undone. To miss just one aspect of these complex tasks is to fail, bring ruin, or see the problem persist.Equity and Justice: Help to resolve a matter of strife or accusation with fairness and impartiality. By Word or Sword, bring justice.Ingenuity: With limited resources or nearly impossible guidelines, you must use your wit and ingenuity to complete this task.Piety and Candor: A task in service to The Twelve or other great Beings of the land, or to an organization or city state.Promptitude: There is an extremely limited amount of time to complete the stated objective once the leve is chosen.Prudence and Confidence: Caution and restraint is necessary at times to avoid more trouble than a task is worth, or to maintain secrecy.Resolve and Temperance: Exercise firmness in the intention of the task and act with moderation and discipline, even against your nature.Sympathy: Protect those who may not be able to protect themselves. Journey with them to ensure their safety to the end.Valor and Tenacity: Step forth and face what others cannot.

꧁Healing꧂

Not all healing is a matter of waving a hand and willing the flesh to knit itself whole. A Sage or White Mage may keep a soul from crossing to the Aetherial Sea in the heat of battle, but what follows—the long, quiet work of the body remembering how to be whole again—is another kind of magic altogether.Slower. Older. Often quieter.There are some who seek no aethercraft at all. For them, healing is a path walked with patience and intention: poultices stirred by steady hands, herbs gathered by moonlight, words offered like water to parched earth. In these spaces between wounds and wellness, a different kind of healer waits.Nestled in the hush of the Shroud, her dwelling is a quiet refuge. Folk speak of it. Of burn scars soothed with a cooling touch. Of old, aching bones eased into silence. Of mothers guided gently through the veil of labor. Of woodsmen crushed beneath trees and rising again, slowly, carefully. Even of the odd ailing chocobo nursed back to cheerful clucks.Outside the Twelveswood, these tales grow thinner—but never vanish. They drift like woodsmoke on a still morning. Always told in low voices. Always with a kind of hush like a secret shared.A promise follows each telling:
Of true rest.
Of quiet peace.
Of prying questions left alone.
Of secrets kept.
