Good morning, it’s another #sixsentencesaturday

Reminder: any media, any rating (tagged appropriately), just has to be 6 sentences. ❤️

- "Say something." | "This is a mistake.”
- Whispering/Silence | Fidgeting (objects, hands, hair, etc)
(and speaking of movies, I'm seeing Frankenstein next week and I can't wait 🤩🥰)
Polite and respectful, always ✨

Lyla is sneaking in food and Fray will glare daggers at people who're rude during the showing. Serena might pull out her phone to look something up, but it'll be silenced and on its lowest brightness setting
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

What would your wol / oc be like in a movie theater? (Bringing in snacks in their pockets / purse, texting during the movie, quiet and respectful, etc)
Lyla and Serena are both Player 4. Lyla adventures for wealth. Serena just thinks it's exciting

Lyla's DRK predecessor Namarie is Player 1 though and was almost bound for Saint Endalim's for a few reasons (but her future mentor intervened, arguing that she'd be more useful elsewhere)
#Lylaverse
Lyla's bat tattoos were by a Circus member who meant to curse them but reconsidered upon realizing Lyla's the infamous Voidslayer who took over Haukke Manor with the voidsent Vincenzo

Lyla's own RPR voidsent Fret is neutral on the Circus but likes the Great Gourd, who's in a relationship with Lyla
Fret's not a normal avatar at all. They just look like one by default for camouflage. Their avatar body, soul crystal, binding magicks, pact spell, simulacra within their soul crystal, etc were all intricately handmade

Fret's lived in the Source for millennia, revered as a weapon, guardian, and god
To Lyla, her RPR voidsent Fret is a traveling companion/advisor who's also an immortal living weapon/armor & the highest-ranking voidsent of an ages-old Garlean RPR cult as Fret was personally bound by its voidmage founder Melia

(there's much more to it but that's the basic info Lyla knows)
#🌙🌌
#🌙🎆
Lyla loves All Saints' Wake and has had a mutually beneficial relationship with the Continental Circus and others for years. Peace between mortals and voidsent is a worthy endeavor
(that's why she's always there to ensure it during the festival), and her reputation with voidsent greatly precedes her
#wolqotd For RPR/voidsent/etc. OCs, what do your characters think of All Saints' Wake and the goofy ass Carnival members? Is it a noble effort at peace with mortals, or a stupid waste of time? Maybe it's not even worth their attention?
Could she? Maybe.
Would she? Probably not.

Lyla would find the case interesting though, and she'd think the thieves would be easier to find if they had taken the cursed diamond along with the other pieces they stole
#wolqotd would you wol/oc figure out who robbed the louve
Technically yes, Lyla is...

(Zhai'a would argue that she isn't fully hydrated on a regular basis, Lyla'd argue there's regular evidence to enough of the contrary, and Zhai'a'd say she still doesn't get enough normal restorative fluids, even when she's on vacation)
For Lyla, one was that she will never be the same as she was before the Calamity. It took her a long time to fully accept. Once she finally did, she had to figure out who she actually was after everything that had happened since

(and then after she found her answer, she went and saved the cosmos)
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck gave me the Three of Swords, a card of heartbreak and emotional suffering.

What painful truth (a death, betrayal, realization, etc) shaped your character the most?
It's also the source of some of my favorite lines

#🌙⏳ #🌙🖤
I love it because it's funny, I wanted a Thal's balls line, and there's more to it with #Lylaverse Ul'dah lore

The lady didn't just say it for humor. She's reminding Lyla of her job as a thaumaturge of the Order. It's not shown here, but Lyla's first thought at "Thal's balls" is round censers
#🌙🖤
It's still "Fair" for me. I surprised myself with it. I want to write a follow-up someday

You don't need to know anything about Lyla to follow the story. I just describe it with "Lyla thinks she's being paid too much for an undertaking. Her Ul'dahn client disagrees"

www.tumblr.com/fleurdelanui...
Being taken to the First marked an end to the life period that began with Lyla's reappearance post-Calamity and ran through the Ghimlyt Dark fallout

She stopped running on so much anger, re-learned to attend others with patience, and then Light corruption forced her self down to its foundations
#🌙🌠
#wolqotd Today my Tarot deck gave me Death, a card of endings and beginnings.

What was a time where one chapter of your character's life ended and a new one began? How did they change between those two periods of their life?
Lyla's also well-known by the Continental Circus for ginger cookies she bakes each year. It's her aunt Fheli's recipe, but Lyla sprinkles special batches with her own aether, which fuels rumors that she enthralls voidsent

(obligatory "Grave" link too, starring Lyla and the Great Gourd)

"Grave", in which two wickedly wonderful witches waltz in the wake of their first last night of All Saints' together in Sneaky Hollow

Lyla adores it all and can be found in the Shroud for the whole festival. She partakes in tricks against mischief-makers, but she generally just indulges in treats

For the past few years, she's also stayed Sneaky Hollow with the Great Gourd (after they've saved All Saints', of course)
#Lylaverse
#WOLqotd fuck it i'm bored and the halloween stuff is out now soooo

does your WOL celebrate All Saints' Wake? do they like to dress up for the festival? partake in tricks and/or treats?
Reposted by Lyla Sylvie (7.2 spoilers!) ✨
Lyla is the Warrior of Light and Darkness, Savior of Ishgard and the cosmos, etc

Serena and other OCs are not, but their tales overlap and interact with Lyla's (Serena's like an ascended seasonal quest NPC who ends up part of a post-EW sidequest series). Everyone has their own journeys
#Lylaverse
#wolqotd
question for the players: is the character you play your WoL or rather a seperate OC with their own journey and story?
They're canon in the #Lylaverse and fun for connecting characters. Serena met Lyla, Nanamo, and others during Little Ladies' Day, Lyla and Maelstrom Secretariat met during Moonfire, etc

Lyla's also in a relationship with the current Great Gourd, who looks forward to Lyla's steadfast aid each year
#WOLQOTD with the Halloween event I’m curious to know, do you count the seasonal events as part of your WOL lore or rather something that you do just for the rewards?
Lyla'd pick Chikorita. Serena'd pick Totodile. Neither are leaving their teams. 😌
#WoLQOTD | #WoLQuestion

In honour of Pokemon Legends: ZA coming out, which starter would your WoL/OC choose? Would they keep their starter throughout their entire journey, eventually swap them out, or immediately box them?

[please tag any spoilers/leaks]
Whether her hair is in its natural state or straightened, Lyla wears a bonnet lined with silk or satin and puts her hair into twists or another protective style. She sleeps on silk pillowcases to further protect it

Her version of bedhead is just her hair coming loose, but it'll still be neat enough
Lyla's have helped her be more patient, realize different biases, and internalize that she doesn't need to—and shouldn't—do everything alone, that she can ask for help, doesn't need permission to rest, can enjoy her own happiness in the moment, that her worth isn't in what she can do for others, etc
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Five of Wands, a card of conflict or arguments between friends or those that mean well.

How have your character's clashes with those closest to them pushed them to be better people?
Lyla is a Serpent captain with Twin Adder squad(s) and other allies, but she doesn't consider herself a commander and she doesn't want people thinking of her as a soldier

Before all of that, she's a healer and deathworker who's worked with deserters. To her, if all you can do is run, you should run
Squad(s) specifically because she only personally trained her first one. With her blessing, hers trained more. As far as the Order's concerned, they're all Lyla's

She didn't mean to get promoted so much. Her promotion to lieutenant happened after she impulsively took out the Coeurlclaws overnight
(Fheli is a Black Boar and absolutely who suggested putting Lyla in charge of this. Lyla started it and it's her mess to clean up, and it's a good opportunity for Lyla to reassert herself in the South Shroud

Lyla's new promotion also gets her a squadron, which she'll need to help her keep the camp)
Leave.

Lyla would politely excuse herself, but she's not staying there...
Inspired by Over the Garden Wall #WoLQotD:

You stumble into a town full of strange, gourd-headed revelers. Though they cheer, dance and clink mugs, a cold dread settles in the air. The music suddenly cuts out, and the pumpkin crowd turns to stare at you with their hollow eyes. What will you do?
