Veteran's Plateau Altar
10-20-2022, 03:21 PM
Ajax thought about what he wanted to give the statue long and hard, felt it deep down in his bones like it was important. That it would count, in one form or another. With an old bottle he'd found in the shallows of the cavern, he trotted up to the statue, the seawater within sloshing back and forth even when he placed it upon the bloodstained altar. The ocean was salty and so was blood, though the connection was admittedly flimsy it just made sense in his mind. Made him feel as though he was sharing something that was dear to him with another, even if said wolf(?) was statue still and maybe a little off if he looked at it from a certain angle. Blood in the water bloomed like a flower on the surface, spreading slowly and moving with the tide. Sometimes Ajax threw back in fish he'd caught and killed just to see the flow of it, to admire the patterns as they twisted and shifted, before dissipating once spread too far. Ajax got the sense this statue guy might like watching it too, maybe he'd toss a fish in the sea in his honour next time, if he remembered. |
NPC:
The tabby steps forward as you approach and seems to appraise your item carefully, its scarred face unreadable before it gives a nod and signals for another familiar to accept the item and move it to its new home, before turning its inscrutable amber gaze on you.
A ferret rushes forward to pick up the bottle, it pauses for a moment as the shifting of the water forces it to rebalance before it hurries off to place the bottle... Somewhere, wherever on the platform it is it's out of your view. The cat gesturing catches your attention and an old rat ambles forward with a pouch. "Thank you for your help, in return we'd like to offer you a sign of our gratitude." Says the tabby, gesturing for you to take the pouch. It fixes you with an expression not yet seen, is that pity? It doesn't seem to rush you off as quickly either...
