It takes her a second to register its presence amongst the blistering heat and crowds of people– Somewhere, humming with the life of something divine, was someone minding their own business.
Anya, the hound that she is, prepares a spell glyph.
Scorching, incandescent. The flames were not meant for anyone in particular, but in its hunger it consumes all the same. Swathes rush out from the town center like the life of a frantic heartbeat, and yet for all that it’s heralded, has become a routine sight. No one was hurt, she made sure of that. But to catch the attention of those with weathered ears, you need to prove you’ve lived through the same things they have. Such were greetings inside the War Seas.
By the time it’s gone quiet, only two people remained.
Anya stepped over the rubble and dusted herself off.
“Heat from fire?”
The figure looked at the hound, bemused.
“Oh.”
She understood what it meant.
Anya lit up. Now she really wanted to know them.
“Spar me!”
The figure shrugs her shoulders.
“Sure.”

HWLLO , THAT was a small excerpt inspired from an experience i’ve had trying to look for people to SPAR WITH, Sylph_z if you’re reading somehow this MY DISCORD’S lesbiancryptidhousewife - anyhow, my name’s Shai except when im not (traumagenic plural system), and you’ll usually find me at SG or Portland servers either at the bronze sea farming infamy wishing i had someone to fight, or at nimbus actively looking for a sparring ring, unless life stuff gets in the way which happens a lot.
ubmnw i’ve mainly joined the forums since i wanted people to play AO with, and i hate the idea of joining a clan due to a few bad experiences, so finding community through here feels, safer…? i guess?
that said for disclosure, and the sake of like, being upfront:
we’re transfem, (3 months into hrt)
diagnosed with adhd/anxiety (and unofficially autistic but it’s fairly likely as both sides of my parents have a long history of it, on top of the fact my own brother has it (my parents refused to get me tested))
and also gay married and living together in about a day after this is posted. it took a lot of therapy to get to where i am, but i wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for them
that should be everything, i think…? but like yea, thanks for having me.
