Lingering Glance
Added 2024-08-28 21:33:53 +0000 UTCVallen's Revised Introduction Scene
Besides a headless statue of a curvy woman with a thin tunic clinging to her round body, you see Vallen.
*page_break At first glance, you almost didn't recognize her
She's seated on the fountain, draped in a gown of her own. It's flowy but not baggy, and it seems lined with pure white cotton. The waist is cinched by a golden chain, intertwining on her left hip. One side of the chain drops down along the ankle-deep skirt.
Or it would have been if Vallen wasn't hoisting the skirt up to bare her calves and feet so she could play in the fountain water with her toes. Her dress' sleeves are long and drapey, diving into two strands that hang over her forearms.
Since the fountain is in a clearing, the foliage doesn't ward off the rain any longer. All along the fountain's surface, little eruptions explode every time a droplet joins its brethren, making it seem as if it's in a war with itself, a mirror breaking into a thousand pieces.
But Vallen doesn't bother with the soft blue cowl swed to the back of her dress. She tilts her face up toward the sky, her eyes closed against the downpour. Her hair is braided but not in her usual style. Instead, two braids from each side of her head join at the center, and from there, the hair spills freely down her back in a cascade of gold.
When you reach the clearing, stepping on the tiles, Vallen lowers her head, and two round hazel eyes land on you. "You came."

Yeaaaahhhhh naaahhhhh. If my Romanus was disturbed before he (and I) definitely are now. Vallen is getting a wide berth from now on

2024-08-30 00:06:00 +0000 UTCNah. She absolutely gives me the creeps ๐ which is probably the two ends of the spectrum youโre hoping for right? The Vallen-mancers and the people who are like I donโt know what it is but I should deffo stay away from that one ๐

2024-08-29 06:46:11 +0000 UTCI am twirling my hair, kicking my legs. She's so calculated. ๐ฅฐ I love her. Meeting in a place with remnants of roman culture, I know there are a lot is the city, but I don't think it's a coincidence. Frolicking around, projecting a picture of pure innocence when we know who she is, and romanus is suspecting. Perfection. I cant wait to meet her in a game and interact with her more. I do have a random question: when in civilian clothes, does she always wear pure white?

2024-08-29 06:15:47 +0000 UTCKnowing what we know, the contrast between her appearance here and her true self is striking. Her visage perfectly crafted to look almost angelic in her purity and innocence, parallelling the darkness underneath. I give this sociopath credit, she's crafted her persona perfectly and every time I get a glimpse of how she operates I find myself more and more fascinated. I need to know what kind of life story creates a person like this!
