this is Salem, a land filled with magic and maladies. It is a place where witches and their elemental familiars gather, a home to legend and
lore that predates time itself. Yet of all the wicked and wonderful stories the past can tell us of, the most magical are the ones yet to happen.
This is Salem - this is the start of your very own journey. Welcome to starfall
Starfall is an animaga witch roleplay set in mostly modern times. Members play as witches in a world plagued by monsters, where the only safe spots are walled cities. Starfall strives to be a character-driven roleplay with expansive lore and a highly interactive plotline. We want to allow members to
create and look back on a magical journey, and mold the site and its plot as their characters grow.
[attr="class","bcgp1"] alchemy school dropout who lives like there’s no tomorrow. many in the hovel will know her as something of a back-alley nurse. her tinctures have proved more reliable than those of some other potioneers. addictive, too.[break][break]
friendships tend to be very volatile with lila. as she is now, vitriolic buds are more likely as are people with thick skin to counteract her thin skin. organic friendships are more likely to arise over time and as lila grows. but if you are counted as a friend, be prepared to get really long letters attached to pigeons. footnotes and everything.[break][break]
rivalries are more likely. for many people lila’s personality breaks friendships, not makes them. but cooperation is required within silvertongue so there are bound to be forceful clashes. obviously, outside silvertongue there are chances. but what i would really enjoy would be some active hate between her and someone else. like livid, tense clashes. delicious![break][break]
romance is currently off the table but i would love to do it in the future. however, more carnal relationships are a certain. friends with benefits are a definite for people even if she’s not strictly friends. lila actively seeks out physical intimacy even if it’s with people who she dislikes. or especially with people she dislikes? as you can tell, not healthy. ultimately, i’d like for her to grow more healthy romantic relationships, but that requires her progression.[break][break]
so yes thickskinned scathing sarcasm buddies. i feel like they undoubtedly know eachother, being around the same age and hailing from /working near the hovel. despite not being an alchemist, alchemy is one of the few affinities isadora can respect, and she probably wants to study it at a later date-- maybe lila can play a role in that?
i feel like they'd be the type that have known eachother for years, and know at a surface level what there is to know about the other, but because they're both sarcastic and have walls around eachother and are somewhat self absorbed (?), neither has really explored much beneath the other though they both have thier own share of suspicions and questions unasked.
of course, as things go on and their coven missions get to higher stakes, we can develop this and explore beyond your casual vitrolic buds, because i really think they'd have a fun chemistry. what do you think?
the magic pigeon is the common factor between these two, so perhaps these two begin as unknowing pen pals? maybe one accidentally intercepted a letter from the other and sent a response, and then they just kept at it if only bc, on his side, luke wants to see some pigeons.
it's likely that they'd become, at the very least, acquaintances in person though, considering lila's occupation. as a member of what is technically a criminal coven, luke can't exactly go to just anyone if he needs things both legal and illegal. he'd be more than willing to strike up a deal with her: he'll buy only from her (given that she has what he needs, ofc) and she'll keep quiet about him should anyone come looking.
as for something other than business... the two probably don't mix well. luke is quick to spout insults but also doesn't take them very personally. they'd be vitriolic buds, if it ever came to that, for sure.
isadora almic & @hare : *w* when i was writing a li’l plot post for you i saw that interest in alchemy and i was very much in the realm of “YES… PERFECT”. unfortunately, i then fell asleep. but getting to reply here is fabulous too!!
i super love vitriolic buds. i’m also very down for the prospect of them knowing each other beforehand as well especially as i’ve seen isadora has lived something of a double life prior to her time in silvertongue. that might work an opportunity for them to know each other even if the pei family were not really uppercrust. a fleeting acquaintanceship that develops once they start crossing paths again and again in the hovel – then silvertongue comrades! there are definitely a lot of paths they can go from here & it’s awesome.
a mission thread would be so fun! i have a few ideas for some *w* stopping some grave robbers, finding a ‘runaway’ girl, etc. i am trying to think of one with alchemy involved so we can work that interest in but i am coming up blank right now. HMM… i can give a go at trying to think of one of those!?
but i wanna see these two’s chemistry develop so i am definitely up for starting the thread.
@luke & @hare : pigeon time… i actually adore this method of them ‘meeting’. if it was accidentally intercepted somehow, lila is exactly the sort to butt her nose in and write her own addendum if she sees it necessary. she thinks it helpful.
as a way of transitioning onto your next plot, i almost want to suggest that the letters have something to do with the magical theory of alchemy or argumentation because that could very well lead to the relationship they have now. i absolutely enjoy the prospect of a valued & mysterious customer lila can have. get those illicit wares out the door means that is a very tempting deal. she likes a little bit of exclusivity! holding her tongue is a small price to pay. consider your appearance kept secret, valentine. in the future, i’d be interesting to see how a silvertongue coven member and a leviathan one work together <3 but that can be kept for the future! i'm sure there will be plenty of site developments that facilitate this. i love it, deemo ♥
Lila could be Anthony's go-to person for healing, as he's more than likely to get a few scratches and bruises in his many adventures.
He has a thick enough skin to be able to match Lila's barbs I think, or completely disregard her insults. Not much can piss Tony off, as he's a chill type of person and just lives life however he wants to without caring what others think.
Also beware exploding potions as he's liable to sneak in and mess up her work. @hare
@anthonyskies + @hare : there is now a sign outside lila’s makeshift clinic. it very specifically says “ANTHONY SKIES IS NOT ALLOWED ON THESE PREMISES UNSUPERVISED”. there is an addendum: “YES. THAT MEANS YOU TONY”. another one with a badly drawn man with glasses. there is an arrow pointing to it going “YOU”.
okay, on a more serious note, despite his pranks i think lila would be a little more forgiving of tony than she is of most people because of that charming & happy-go-lucky personality. his chillness might be a little infectious. but she is still refusing to attend to him several days after he mixes up her potions, though. >:(
this would be fun *u*b tony is the exact sort that makes me want a group thread with a few silvertongue members, lol! but for now, if lila is going to try and keep a watchful eye whenever he’s within 10 feet of her potions. >:( >:(
Great! We shall have lots of fun together *cackles*
I could start a thread where he looks for/visits her place for some fixing up. Maybe he hears of this great doctor who's part of the coven and goes to her thinking it'll be for free cause they're fellow members and all that. What do you think? @hare
@anthonyskies & @hare: omg i'm glad <3 i would love a meeting thread like that ! and i love the thought of him thinking it's free. that'll be hilarious to thread :') perf! i can start instead if you want but go ahead if yr okay with starting like you say!
