Hi I know we're all still like WTF about those messages but also did anyone else keep the relics from our ruins adventure? Because one of mine is glowing and like resonating and I'm not sure if it's just me so?

definitely not just you. it's like having a bunch of night lights in my bedroom.

[filloryfanatic]

On instinct I'm like 'THIS PROBABLY ISN'T GOOD' but also in my experience totems and magical items could be useful so. Maybe I'm just irrationally hopeful instead.

@clarke.griffin

[strove]

Same for me, too. I can check and see if Eugenides is having that same thing.

[filloryfanatic]

It hasn't done anything yet but I feel like we can assume it's going to do SOMETHING. SOMETIME. I doubt this is just going to be like a glowstick.

[strove]

You think it's going to be something bad.

[That is how she is choosing to interpret the capitalization.]

[filloryfanatic]

OR something cool. Like somehow be weapons?

@jon.snow

[northerndragon]

Aye, there’s light.

If we didn’t make light too, now, I’d be tempted to put it back where I found it.

@helena.prizvyshche

[sestra]

mine is also glowing.

is from new cairo. where did you get yours?

[filloryfanatic]

Yeah I mean there's something to be said for 'maybe we should put these back' but they don't seem damaging yet?

[filloryfanatic]

New Rio. Is your doing anything other than glowing and like vibrating-ish?

@silena.beauregard

[chocolateries]

I thought all artifacts had a little glow and I just never noticed it before.

[ IN HER DEFENSE! celestial bronze does actually glow and greek demigod junk tends to be celestial bronze or magical... ]

[filloryfanatic]

This is definitely new. I've been peeking at the relics pretty much every day since I got them because you know, cool, so I was pretty shocked. And like half expecting it to explode.

[chocolateries]

Aw, I hope my little buddy doesn't explode, I love him.

[gasping]

i thought it was leftover magic

( you know, from hope. who left. :C )

[filloryfanatic]

Leftover magic like from the ruins?

[filloryfanatic]

It just reminds me of like explosives in movies where they always make a big deal about them making sound or flash before the go off so you can properly get anxious about everyone dying before it goes off.

But it's really shiny and I lowkey love it.

[gasping]

maybe? but mostly from my friend. she's a witch. she disappeared a few weeks ago.

i was hoping she was trying to using the relics as some kind of homing beacon or something, but i guess not.

[filloryfanatic]

I'm sorry about your friend. That sounds like the type of spell I used to be able to do, but can't anymore. Did she still have magic because if so, jealous.

[gasping]

not here. we thought cassius was going to give it back but he just cut our heads open for fun with his clone buddy instead.

( someone is lowkey bitter )

[northerndragon]

Have you ever seen something like this before?

[Because Jon has not. And he has seen things people don’t believe in. He’s returned from death. But what the little object he picked up on Everest is doing is outside of his experience. Outside even the experience of any maester, he believes, a conclusion he came to about a moment after wishing he could ask Aemon about it, or Luwin, or even Wolkan.]

Where did you go? What did you take from that place?

[filloryfanatic]

Right, Klaus told me about that. Are you talking about Hope?

[filloryfanatic]

Yes, but just because I've seen something like it doesn't mean it's the same thing. I'm a magician from a magical world, we have items of power that are capable of a lot, but they can also be dangerous. But I don't know if this is the same thing.

I was in New Rio, I took a few things because I saw they had manuscripts and I miss paper. But it's this crucifix, which at first I was like oh god should I not have taken one from underneath a Jesus statue.

[gasping]

she was my roommate.

( and, tbh, her best friend. the loss has hit her pretty hard. :C )

[filloryfanatic]

I'm so sorry she's gone. I never met her but from what I've heard she's great.

I don't know if these relics are magic or not, but they're supernatural, considering what's happening. Maybe it's related to whatever it is that caused those portals to work.

[northerndragon]

It’s sacred to someone?

[That’s his understanding, but it’s limited and fuzzy, because....]

Crucifix, Jesus, we don’t have those where I come from. We have the Old Gods and their weirwood groves, and we have the New Gods, the Seven and their septs and septons. All stained glass and stone, but all built by men’s hands. The Old Gods don’t ask any of that of us.
