the sun rises (ota)

Who: amaterasu & you! (and some closed prompts)
What: mostly the blooming of the guardian saplings in their designated locations; refer to the page! also a reminder to check ammy's info page regarding her appearance to your character, if you already haven't!
When: throughout may
Where: arouuuuuu--

Content Warnings: plant body horror + harm being done to an animal in one of the closed prompts, monster body horror for anyone who wants to tag with their monster dreams!

[ during the first few daylights of may, amaterasu is diligently at work; she trots almost nonstop left and right to visit the small, green little saplings that would become strong with the sun. it's always so cloudy in trench though, even if daylight is finally upon them after an entire month of darkness. on the morning of the eighth, there is something different about this sunrise; a distant wolf's howl accompanies its ascension as the rays shower trench in a way it possibly never has. it's warm, welcoming, and wishes a brilliant day to all of those who greet it (especially mothers— she's only now just found out about mother's day).



at the locations of the Mental Health and Recovery Clinic, Trenchwood Farm, The Sanctuary and Farther Shores, one may either see the phenomena happening or be drawn to the blooms already in full: the once hardworking greenlings have grown unreasonably fast into reaching trees, bark and all. they're missing something— until it happens. an unseen force encourages them to bloom, and in an instant, the cherry blossoms burst with life, with energy and a powerful, energetic kick into the polluted soil its roots bury in. it doesn't stretch far, but it helps, and it tries its best to maintain the soil and water around it clean and purified. those sensitive to the supernatural will feel a palpable lift in the pollution where these trees are situated, that they are of great origin, important, sacred. animals will naturally be drawn to them, and so will people. for their beauty, for their shelter, and of course, for their purity and bridge to being closer to nature. even those who are not supernaturally inclined will undoubtedly feel at peace under these gentle giants. what's not to feel peaceful about, viewing the cherry blossoms gently hovering in the breeze that greets you under the shady branches?

you might even be there to catch the sight of a white wolf admiring her handiwork. or, perhaps . . . that's not a wolf at all. a woman, a little rabbit, or even a snow-white horse (or, is that . . . a dragon?). it's hard to tell with this shapeshifting blanket she was given, and amaterasu has delighted herself in bringing it everywhere for its comfort (you can tell; it's already pretty dirty, but it's not as if she cares). ]

(ooc: just as a note, amaterasu can either come in her regular wolf-shape or a temporary form, either human, statue or one of the other brush gods! please let me know if you have a preference, to maintain or shapeshift (and the desired shape, if any)! if there is no preference, i will randomize! hmu at @liberos.plurk if you would like to plot further!)

[With Felspring occupied with her scans and his mind occupied with... well, many things, it seems to Felwinter that this is as good a place to stop as any. After all, he hadn't been heading anywhere in particular or for any particular reason. And there's something about this place — or perhaps the tree itself — that sets his mind at ease. A rare thing, for him.

He sinks down to sit with his back against the tree. Felspring is still chattering away to herself —but it feels like the Light, just a little bit, doesn't it?— as he spots the approaching wolf.

There are many wolves on his mountain. Some of the Iron Lords liked to raise them, as they made good guard animals and hunting companions in lieu of dogs, and were better adapted to the harsh environment. So he's perhaps not as concerned about the presence of a wolf as one might think he should be, even if said wolf does currently have her mouth stuffed full of bread rolls.

She stares at him, and he stares back, wondering if the tree was interfering with his sensors or if he really did feel some sort of power in this wolf. And then he lifts a hand and holds it out to her, cautious but welcoming. He's never been particularly good with animals, either, but she seems friendly enough.]

Oh. [That's... a little bit gross, actually. He eyes the slobbery breadrolls in his lap and then glances back up at the wolf who is watching him almost expectantly, as though she's waiting for him to eat one. That's strange, isn't it? Hardly normal wolf behaviour. Maybe he's imagining it.]

That's very generous. [Light, he feels foolish, talking to an animal as though it can understand him.] But I, ah. I don't need to eat.

[His speaking attracts Felspring's attention, and she floats down from the tree so she can see what's going on... and laughs at him quite loudly, apparently delighted by such a ridiculous sight.]

Look at you, making friends.

[He silently wills her to be quiet.]
