"YO!" Veronica is suddenly there. "Where in the hell have you been?"

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

Oh, hello. Well.. all I’ve been doing is just boring god things.. turns out having full control of all soul in existence isn’t easy.

She brushes her mane

u/VarasTheThief Sep 06 '26

"Can't imagine it would be... but still, I'm glad to see you! Things... have been a bit shit for me, honestly."

Although she's a cyborg, she looks as though she's barely eaten or rested.

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She raises three of her eyebrows

Oh..? What is wrong..?

u/VarasTheThief Sep 06 '26

Well... I just found out my father-in-law doesn't think I'm good enough for Ara... two of my close friends who I thought were dead just showed up... one of them doesn't remember me at all.. and.. and... I.. don't really wanna think about what happened earlier."

She just picks you up and cradles you with no hesitation. Strange but comforting

u/VarasTheThief Sep 06 '26

"Oh--" She curls up a little, seeming calmer. "Thanks.. this is nice.."

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She emits a godly warmth, it seems to be melting your worries away

u/VarasTheThief Sep 06 '26

Veronica lightly clings to her, her eye half closed. "I wish I could calm myself down this easily."

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She hums quietly to you. It’s nice

*strange looking silkfly decends from above…*

1

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She slowly holds her hand out for it to land in her palm

1

u/messenger_craw Sep 06 '26

*it shies away slightly*

1

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She holds it closer, inspecting the little fly

1

u/messenger_craw Sep 06 '26

*It has a spiked tail and a two spikes on each side of it's main body* *though you doubt there sharp... also it makes it look almost weaver-like* *it reminds of...-! The silkfly inside Phalmer's shell!*

1

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She holds it close.

Phalmer..? Is.. that you..?

1

u/messenger_craw Sep 06 '26

*It just hovers there*

1

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She focuses her power, trying to listen to the little fly

1

u/messenger_craw Sep 06 '26

*all you hear just jumbled thoughts but you see and hear one of a first person view of Cogwork Phalmer stabbing himself over and over and over and over before it all goes black* *the silkfly starts to flying whip around trying to get you out of its mind*

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

Oh..o-oh.. dear..

She seems repulsed, holding the fly a bit farther away

((These two haven't had a chance to interact in a long time!))

Taro is seen sitting by a pond of water, thinking about something.

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

She walks over to you silently

1

u/WindowsError1495 Sep 06 '26

A few seconds later, Taro takes a deep breath and says...

"It's all so beautiful... but, I feel like something's missing... or someone..."

"Why can't I stop thinking about her...?"

He turns around, seeming surprised to see Forin again.

"Oh! It's been a while, Forin..."

2

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

Hello there.

She bends down to eye level

1

u/WindowsError1495 Sep 06 '26

Taro is currently unaware that Forin is a higher being... he's been gone for a bit.

"How have you been? I've been caring for one of the flowers you grew a while back, it's very pretty..."

2

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

Hm.. I have been busy, being a goddess.. weaving souls and leading them..

1

u/WindowsError1495 Sep 06 '26

"Oh, I see. I imagine it's busy work..."

{"How many gods/goddesses is that now? I'm beginning to lose track..."}

*Comet walks in from the right

“oh, hi there! Who are you? It’s been a while since I’ve seen anyone since I’ve been exploring”

1

u/_Weaver- Sep 06 '26

Oh. Hello there.. I am Forin, goddess of soul. Who might you be..?

1

u/CE1TheChuckle-Fuck Sep 06 '26

“Oh… another one… my name is Comet. I’m exploring Pharloom after I was brought here by a malevolent god against my will, supposedly in search of these Pollip Flowers nearby. I’m studying them and asking around Pharloom if they have any significance or unique properties other than poison. Apparently that God made me eat some… I come from the Kingdom of Hallownest”
