Joan of Cat (she/her) 😼Tonight for my All Saint's Wake (<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Halloween" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Halloween</a>) party on <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FFXIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FFXIV</a>, I told an original flash fiction story in the voice of my son <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Maxx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maxx</a>. I thought it'd be a silly little thing, but it seems like people thought I did a good job with it! So I've decided to share it here with all of you! 💙 It's based on a story from Jewish legend, altered slightly for FFXIV. Maxx tells it, so of course Darkness is safe and Light is the worst. 😹 Without further ado...!"The Miracle of Forgetting" by Maxx StormwolfIt's said that the day that you're born, your soul is wrenched from its resting place within the Lifestream and thrust into the bubbling, boiling, churning flesh of what would one day become a child. The whole time, you are aware. You remember everything, every life, every sorrow, every horror, every instance of pain and suffering...and you're aware that you can't move. Not in this darkness, smothered from all sides by throbbing flesh.Then one day, the flesh rips open, and monstrous movements slowly sluice you out of the body that had been your prison, revealing your prison to be that of a newborn child, with useless limbs and muted senses. You scream, but the faces all around you--massive and out of focus--they only laugh at you. You sob. They coo at you, their voices high pitched like the streaks of a dying animal.And that night, when you are finally freed from the torture of hands and fingers grasping at you, touching you, gripping you, from the faces screaming and laughing and crying... only then, do you finally find a modicum of peace with the sun having set and the darkness filling the room where you've been lain against your will. And that is when the worst happens.It is said that every newborn child is given a guardian angel. It is when everyone else is gone that this creature appears, wrapped in flame and speaking to you in a voice like thunder. And you see it approaching you, knowing all the while that this monster intends to destroy you. That he has the power to do so. And that now, more than ever, you are helpless to stop him. You cry, you scream, but no one listens. Anyone who would is too tired to come to your aid. Instead, the angel is allowed to reach your crib, curling the blanched tentacles that it would call fingers around the railing and watching you with teeth bared like a hungry beast.The angel says something, but you cannot understand its voice. Only that it hurts to hear. Your cries grow louder, but to no avail.Then the angel reaches down with a single finger, laying it softly just below your nose, above your upper lip, burning and disfiguring you with a sign of its passing: a single crease between your nose and mouth. And you feel your history burn away. Everything that made you who you are, twisted and torn until it is nothing at all. As the angel bids you to "Forget."And so it is that all of us are born, haunted from the very first by monstrous Light and its vicious servitors, marking you forever as their own, and robbing you of all that you once were, leaving you ignorant and alone in this new life that you are now doomed to live.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horror</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/flashfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flashfiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/stories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stories</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/allsaintswake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#allsaintswake</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/guardianangel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guardianangel</a>

Joan of Cat (she/her) 😼I haven't caught anyone here up on what's been going on in my <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FFXIVRP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FFXIVRP</a> in a while, and maybe I ought to do that.It's so much! We just wrapped up Season 1 of our Machine War saga two months ago, and we're on the second episode of Season 2 now. We've introduced <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Accord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accord</a>, who we discovered was stuck inside of the Fruit of the Protector in the Rak'tika Greatwood since the First Machine War thousands of years ago.In our Season 1 finale, my son--who went by <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Lily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lily</a> but now goes by his new middle name <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Maxx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maxx</a>--transitioned and also finally graduated from the <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Studium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Studium</a> as an <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Archon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Archon</a>! He chose to have his archon tattoo placed on his right cheek, just like his favorite professor <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Urianger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Urianger</a> (for those who don't know, Maxx is from the future, so the Urianger we know and love has only recently met him). Maxx lovingly calls him Prof Uri, and yes, he can speak like Urianger does, even though he only does it for the lulz.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Noah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Noah</a>--the heart of the primal <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Metatron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Metatron</a> and Maxx's twin from his own timeline--came to ours for the final episodes of Season 1 too, and he nearly destroyed the star and claimed our <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Lifestream" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lifestream</a> for his own. But at the last moment, we were able to stop him with the help of <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Golbez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Golbez</a>, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Zero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zero</a>, Urianger, and <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Thancred" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thancred</a>. We kinda broke the <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Ragnarok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ragnarok</a> doing it. Sorry about that. But don't worry. They'll have it fixed by the time 7.1 comes out.When Metatron died, <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Joan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Joan</a> soaked up much of his aether and became insanely overpowered. Mostly, so far, it's been little more than an annoyance. Especially since it's begun to make her and her family/friends a primary target for the Watchers, who have now arrived on the Source and are causing trouble. Right now, our biggest problem is the Watcher named <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Zophiel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zophiel</a>, who seems very determined to take us out.And while that's a lot of information, it barely scratches the surface of all that's happened. So I'll come back more often and let you all know how things are going.Enjoy the <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GPoses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPoses</a> below of Accord, Maxx, Noah/Metatron, and Joan in her special supersuit! 💙 <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/FFXIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FFXIV</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Stormwolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stormwolf</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/MachineWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MachineWar</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/NierAutomata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NierAutomata</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Drakengard3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Drakengard3</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RP</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/stories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stories</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GPosers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPosers</a>
