[PQ] you are still headed where you need to be

MELITA

Melita likely wasn’t the best candidate for the occupation she had in mind. The blight still stung in her veins, crossing over wires and ichor, occasionally flooding her sights with the blackened bits of Stygian wiles and violent ends (and then sometimes, it was just her). But things were beginning to become better; she had control, she had memories, she had an ability to do other things besides fester and decay, the rage not always standing so tall, so broad, so firm. Her only fear of the current role, despite her promises last season, were that it’d be all for naught – and the brilliant gilded antlers she’d cherished a year before would not even dare to regard her, because of the darkness still simmering in her soul.

Hadn’t it always been there?

But the youth kept her convictions, kept her vows, kept her oaths, and wasn’t about to let the rest of the world down (again). Perhaps, if more people clambered along the center of town with her, their lighter hearts, their buoyant, ebullient efforts, their effervescence, would override the pestilent threads of her diseased core.

She didn’t let the probability of another kind keep her from maneuver stacks of wood towards the Monster Hunter’s Guild, and then along the outskirts of the Temple; and then anywhere else they could manage. The luxere were some of their prime defenders against the calamity, demons, and monsters of Long Night, and they should have every mean and measure available to them.

The youth just hoped it would work; and wrapped her trembling hands up inside her gloves, Fangorn settled alongside her heels while she waited for anyone to show up.

A PQ to help lure luxere towards Long Night sanctuaries! Melita should have everything you need, but if you’d like to bring bags/sacks to carry future things in, that would be great too! I’d like to keep this thread moving along since Long Night approaches, so once things fill up we’ll be ensuring things are light and easy! Thank you!
