Lumina will almost always answer her locket, wherever she happens to be!

[ And now Alice is getting uncharacteristically impatient. Maybe a mass contact was a bad thing, maybe not. But she's doing this unrelated to the events of what just happened. ]

Lumina?

[It's hard to tell where Lumina is, except that she's on Chaos the Chocobo's back, and looks pretty tired. But she perks up when she sees Alice there.]

Alice! You're alright? Where are you?!

[Yes she seems...genuinely excited to see her...]

[digophelia]

[ Alice's imps will leave a card, in addition to a cannister of loose-leaf tea that she's blended herself, in a strange tea cup. If you feel so inclined, there's a small box of cookies she's made. A Wonderland signature, but still very much an Alice thing to do.

However, since Lumina is so young, she leaves her something else.

Enjoy it. ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina likes the bear way more than she's prepared to admit, and ties it to her saddle on Chaos so it is always with her. She'll turn up at some point to make Alice make the tea though.]

Lumina. I am Saber, the General of the Unseelie Forces. Our mutual friend, Alice, has spoken well of your skills.

I must inform you that the Seelie intend on bringing war to Caer Scima and there is much that must be done to protect our people, our fellow Unseelie shardbearers and the Unseelie heart from them. And that starts with neutralizing a potential leak - a Seelie spy that has far too much access to Unseelie communication.

I have a task for you, Lumina. A grand one, but a dangerous one, and two men that will assist you.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[The chaos child seems to be listening intently after Saber starts speaking, though she sways from side to side a bit. She certainly was not expecting to be asked anything important, especially not if Alice was involved, the girl loved to keep her out of trouble.]

[When she finally finishes though, Lumina actually giggles softly.]

A grand, important quest to track down an unseelie traitor? [It wasn't hard to guess about the locket, how else would he be able to know what they were saying?]

It sounds so exciting, how can I possibly refuse?

5th, before the station fiasco

[digophelia]

I have left Caer Scima to the Barrel; I don't feel that it is safe anymore. I will be gathering things for a dinner on the 7th there. You're welcome to come.

I also implore you to arrive early, I have a feeling I will beating off the others with a spoon.

- Alice

[chaoticwhimsy]

Okay! I'll come by after my secret mission!

1/27; voice.

[liven]

Lumina. [ That's as near as we'll get to "hello"... ] The first time we talked, you disappeared. Was that some sort of trick, or a method of quick travel?

1/27; voice.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hey! [There's a little giggle at the question.] Mmmm. I guess you could call it quick travel, if it you wanted it to sound boring.

8 Feb, early evening, audio, locked, etc.

[gordianknots]

I managed to get a surplus of lavender to the Station. I'm en route there to try a few experiments, and will set some aside for you if you'd like.

8 Feb, early evening, audio, locked, etc.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Oh great. I'm still looking for a tree to talk to. [She'd come this far though, she wasn't giving up.]

I did get a bunch of people who agreed to help when we know where it's headed next!

[andallbite]

Is this Lumina?

[ Hello, that's his greeting. ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah hey who're you?

[Suspicious eyes. Also she's in a forest somewhere.]

Post-Saber's call to action, audio;

[zerotohiro]

Lumina! Hey, where are you?

[That's kinda the same thing as "are you okay", really.]

Post-Saber's call to action, audio;

[chaoticwhimsy]

Uh.

...I'm in the southern greenwoods? Hi.

[Deep in seelie territory whoops.]

[extramural]

[ A bone charm is dropped off, the seagull impatiently hopping around Lumina's ranch until she takes both it and the note on its leg off. It settles down with the chocobos for a while, curious about the larger birds, before taking off. ]

Lumina-

This charm will work as a communication device. It, my shrines, or sea life can all reach me.

[ There's no signature -- but who needs one? ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Lumina just turns the charm over a few times in her hands before she hooks it to her necklace with the anti-rat one he had given her. ANd then she frowned at.]

He couldn't have told me how to turn it on, could he...

[She tapped it a few times.]

Hey? Lev? You hearing this?

yule 2701.

[boutant]

[ Delivered to Lumina's ranch will be a full-color framed drawing of chocobos in a field. Chaos and Hopscotch are visible, as are several pink butterflies. ]

yule 2701

[benumbing]

[A young woman delivers a box containing one leash and a note: For keeping your bird under better control in the future. -J.B.

There's also a little stuffed chocobo that he had made for her.]

Lumina?

[ Ariadne is a mess, clearly crying even though she's also clearly trying not to cry. She's holding on tight to an orange tabby cat who looks more than a little alarmed about this whole situation. ]

Lumina, can I ask a favor? I need to get to the Station as fast as I can.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Ariadne? [Well Lumina was not expecting this at all. She just frowned in surprise, her usual snark derailed by upset friend.]

Uh. Sure, alright. What's wrong?

backdated letter, end of may 2701

[erythristic]

[the note is simple, arriving at her ranch by bird.]

Lumina,

I do not know the state of your heart right now, but I do know that you wept as we all did.

[very loosely sketched is an area by the ruins of Caer Scima, things carefully labelled so as to give a general idea of where this is, and then a star at one point.]

She was buried here. A plant of vervain grows over the spot. If you did want to speak with her again, here she is safe.

G.S.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[A few days later, Grell will find a hand-written note resting on her nightstand when she returns to her room in the evening. It just says 'Thanks, ~L' written in Lumina's quick, haphazard handwriting, and a small silver bell to put on whatever collar she has made for her chocobo chick.]

June 30th, brought by Raven

[tacticalturtleneck]

[A certain letter is dropped into Lumina's hands. In all appearances, it's completely legal and will hold up in any court.]

Near the beginning of July

[oathshackledbird]

[Wherever Lumina may be near the beginning of July, she will get a most peculiar messenger bird visiting her. With the bird, there is a short message and some money from someone she probably hasn't thought about in quite a while.]

Dear Chocobo Queen,

While out doing a quest for me, a friend of mine discovered a small group of chocobos who were running free between the location of your ranch and the Station. Are you missing any? Or are those who you sold birds to missing any?

One blue one seems to have chosen to partner with Aengus so I have included money for her with this note. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you get them safely home.

Sincerely,

Diarmuid Ua Duibhne

[chaoticwhimsy]

[The response takes a few days, and it's written in Lumina's quick, hurried writing and includes half the money he sent.]

Man. I'm not missing them now, they must've snuck off from my ranch! I rounded 'em up. Keep the blue one, don't want yours to get lonely right?

Whatcha name her?

~ Lumina

[unsolitary]

( she's been the the audiences that Lumina has, saw her after the death of the Jabberwock, after the fall of Mair. if there's anyone that might be best to help with this, well- Clarke's sure it's her. )

Hey, Lumina? It's Clarke, we met earlier in the year at the Festival of Shadow at Ariadne's spire.

[chaoticwhimsy]

[There's a delay before Lumina answers. Wherever she is, it's quiet except for the sound of water.]

...Oh hey yeah, I remember you.

[Her voice is just as quiet. A bit subdued, really.]

[digophelia]

Lumina, have you... heard anything from the Outsider?

backdated to early july - video;

[chaoticwhimsy]

Lev? Mm...not in the last few days? He was keeping an eye on his fishkids, last I heard.

Why, what's up?

8/6 - voice

[scorchedchivalry]

Lumina. I have an idea that I believe you may be able to help me with at Archer Point. Are you nearby?

Re: 8/6 - voice

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hellooooo Saber. [There's a little laugh.]

I can be. Whatcha planning?

Mid-July: Killing a Kitsune

[chaoticwhimsy]

The clearing had been cut through the forest by a stream that had probably been a river years before, but now quietly meandered between the trees and shrubs, shallow enough that it could be crossed without much worry. At the far end, a path led out to a rocky outcropping with a barely visible cave.

Lumina and Katherine appeared in a swirl of dark, chaotic energy mixed with sparkling, shimmering light, and Lumina let go of the older woman's sleeve as soon as the ground was solid beneath their feet. Her usual chipperness was gone, her expression narrow and almost...tentative, her eyes dark.

"Okay." She said after a second, looking around. She had come by once, when the old witch woman had told her where to go, just to make sure it was the right place, and once she had her bearings back she pointed towards the path that led to the rocky hill and cave.

"...It's supposed to live over there." Lumina said, letting her hand drop back to her side as she turned to look up at Katherine. "At least, that's what I was told. They seemed very sure."

'It' was the kitsune, or a kitsune at least, a magical fox creature. A magic fox person that...that they were here to kill. That Katherine was here to kill, at least. Otherwise they couldn't cure the Roc.

It was for the greater good, Lumina understood how it worked, but that didn't make it feel any less awful.

[manipulative]

The way they transported to the cave was unsettling. She barely had time to steady herself, trying to feign as though she was unaffected. It wasn't lost on Katherine Lumina held onto the sleeve of her jacket. It wasn't lost on her she didn't think to shake her off.

She looked over to the cave. Her heart sank. The last time she had been in a dark and small space, it had been the tomb she had meant to desiccate inside and then the caves where she had sacrificed Jeremy Gilbert to Silas. At least with the latter, she was able to escape.

She didn't let her gaze drift from the cave. She tried to focus her hearing, listening as intently as she could. Aside from the beating of Lumina's own heart, she thought she could hear a shuffle, a stone or two rolling against the ground.

"Someone's in there." She looked to Lumina. She didn't want to ask if she was sure. It was such an Elena thing to even inquire about. Katherine didn't care if Lumina was sure, if she was even okay with this. But she knew what she was about to say was some layered and roundabout way of asking. She didn't like it, how she felt compelled to even let the sentiment slip past her lips. "Are you sure you don't want to say hello?"

9/30, audio, hiro-net

[zerotohiro]

[So he's kinda been hard to get in touch with lately, but now that things are starting to get even worse he's making more of an effort to get in touch with people. One of those people is Lumina. He doesn't want to worry her or anything...but she's Lumina. He's assuming she might be one of the few people who still has some spark left in her anyway.]

So where are you now?

9/30, audio, hiro-net

[chaoticwhimsy]

[There's a delay before Lumina answers, if only because she hasn't heard from him in weeks. Still, she hasn't tried to reach him either, so.]

At my ranch at the spire. What's up?
