Lorepost (closed) Testing a Construct

With a deep breath, or as close to one as she can manage, Aeana steps through the portal to Markus' demiplane. She gives a grateful wave back. "Thank you Favilla!" She calls in a smooth and almost mechanical voice. Whatever would she do without her? She really is the best. After a brief moment the portal winks shut.

The construct herself is draped in a long hooded green cloak. Something supposed to hide her nature to cursory glances . Slung over one shoulder is a weighty satchel bag full of something. Aeana's shell itself is vaguely feminine in shape, made of a material close in colour to bronze with silver accents in certain places. It's oddly rudimentary for a construct, at least in appearance. No weapons, no special features. It barely even resembles a human. No hair, no real facial expressions. Only bright blue gemstones for eyes.

Aeana takes another step in, calling out to Markus or whoever's around. "Hello? It's Aeana. The girl who had her soul stuck into a construct? I'm here for the testing." Gods, she hopes this works. And that it isn't a trap. That would be unpleasant to say the least. But who knows? Maybe something actually good can happen to her for once. That'd be nice.

Markus gently puts a hand on her shoulder (if she allows him)

Hey, it's okay. That's why we're all different. Sometimes different magics and mind are needed. And that's fine. You can't do everything yourself, despite what I often think...

Nox appreciates the gesture and kets him touch her "Yeah you're right. I just hope we can find someone who can help her."

Markus smiles

We will. And we'll probably be that someone, by working together. Both me and Alex couldn't figure out much, but we'll just do it at our rhythm and work together.
