So do you want to learn a language?

To many, it might be a crisis to find oneself on a strange world, but for Legion... no, it's definitely still a crisis, just a really interesting one.

Their ship is reparable. They are stranded only temporarily.

More importantly: they are not alone.

The other being is of unknown species and origin. They lack the ability to verbalize, and do not write in any language known to the Geth. They not appear to have access to advanced technology of any sort.

They are also unafraid of them.

Though it is not their primary objective, the Geth seek understanding. They know many nonverbal forms of communication. They will attempt to teach these methods.

...Will the other respond? They attempt something simple, pointing to a nearby rock before curling their hands into fists and making the relevant sign.

Just Hades things™

[Even after saving all three worlds and everything that transpired after, somehow Emizel still found time to visit the lower parts of Hades every once in awhile. Just to see how things were doing.]

[He was not far from Valvatorez's room when he heard a conservation taking place. Prinnies by the sound of it. Probably some newer recruits. Whatever the reason might be, if they had time to talk then they should have plenty of time getting back to work. And as soon as Emizel found the group loitering around and made eye contact, they quickly panicked and scattered. Perhaps almost a little too quickly. Without having to say anything no less!]

[It certainly was a surprise. Perhaps Emizel had grown so much now that others finally feared him! ...Or maybe he hadn't noticed yet that there was something far more intimidating standing right behind him.]
impure_void: (do not hope)

say hello, honey i'm home

The Egg, the Palace, the flickers of the Abyss were all they truly learned, even that little scorched out with Light; flickers of memory from the Infected and Fath--the Pale King's World Sense left behind are all the knowledge they have of Hallownest.

They're uncertain where they are.

Too green to be the Crossroads, where they had begun. Unn's lands. The White Lady's gardens. Somewhere else overgrown.  

They've been dragging their body through the tunnels for quite some time. Most is a blur. Dig claw or Nail into the ground. move forward. Keep moving. Ignore the cracks and gouges in their torso. 

After some time, it comes to them there is no reason to do this. They have no goal. They have little understanding of where they could go, or should. A creature with a mind would stop at this realization, but the Hollow Knight is not meant to have one in the first place. Therefore, its shortcomings matter little.

Presently, they've stopped, resting their head on a ledge. There are thorns on the ground beneath it. They cannot move forward here.

...This is a perfectly functional place to rest.

It had to be close. The signal was getting stronger.

It was strange to find an anomaly this far out in space. From what she could tell, no one must have lived on this world for years. Which only makes her ship detecting a rift all the more concerning. It can't be any of her own Time Pieces this time, whatever else caused it had to belong to someone else, same technology, or same sort of power.

Ugh, the kid really wants off this planet soon. It's giving her the creeps. Beats out most things in that forest by a long shot. But if the grey, dark, lifeless atmosphere was an effect of a rift, it had to be fixed. It will only get bigger and unruly. It could take a long time for another traveler to find it, and by then it could be too late.

All she had to do was find the tear, the source of it. Despite how dead silent everything was, she could not shake off a feeling of being watched somewhere. An overactive imagination probably - there's not a soul around for miles, she had spent way too much time in that haunted forest after all.

Prompts/Themes

1. METEOR SHOWER: Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, or make a wish before it disappears!

2. PLANETS ALIGNED: Sometimes space likes to do trippy things, like align over the pyramids or something. Can you spot the planets, or are those just airplanes?

3. SUPER MOON: Occasionally, the moon gets extremely close and bright, enough to leave spots before your eyes like looking at the sun.

4. CLOUDY: Tonight just will not cooperate with you! It was supposed to be clear for your stargazing night, but the weatherman lied.

5. LUNAR ECLIPSE: Traditionally, this event has been regarded as an evil force swallowing the moon. Still, it’s lovely to look at, and no need for eye protection!

6. DEEP SPACE: Grab a better telescope or go to an observatory! Something is going on deep in space and you want to be able to watch it!

7. MISSED IT: Oh no! Whatever happened, you totally missed it. The eclipse ended, the meteor shower fizzled out... Are you that disappointed or might you have a second chance tomorrow night?

8. ASTEROID: Just remember: you don’t want the big rocks falling, and the ones that burn in the atmosphere are called meteors. If you find one, it’s a meteorite.

9. SOLAR ECLIPSE: We tell you not to look at the sun for a reason!

10. ALIENS: Here you were, enjoying a nice evening, when aliens had to come down and ruin it. Do they come in peace? Are they friendly explorers? Or worse?

11. CONSTELLATIONS: Do you know the legends behind the patterns in the stars? Can you name any of the stars that make them up?

12. PLANETARIUM: Who said you had to go outside to stargaze? Here, you can explore millions of more objects than you can with a telescope, and go back in time or see what is currently there in the day!

13. COMET: They only come every once in a while, but sometimes, they can last for hours, giving you a spectacular view.

14. WILD CARD: Is something else happening in space? Did you want to play something else? Go for it!

For [personal profile] firewheeling

[It's the middle of the night or whatever counts as night in a world that never changes, do you know where your kids are? Actually, never mind, said kid was coming straight to Axel's room instead. All troubledsome and frightened by something, as much as a nobody can get anyway. But should he actually wake the other up or wait for later?]

[...Yeah, it's going to be one of those kinds of nights.]
