Hello, all! This is Pyra.

The wedding between Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian is cancelled. I sincerely apologize for any of the confusion and to anyone who was looking forward to attending the party.

I would also like to use this this forum post as an opportunity to ask if anyone would like to help with making repairs to the church? It's coming a long way already, and it's looking fairly decent. We still need repairs to the roof, windows, and doors, and there are a lot of other smaller things that need patch work, but we're coming a long way. And maybe when we're done with this church, we can move onto other places like the town hall! Since we all share this town as our home for the time being, I think it's important to take care of it.

Oh and I suppose I have another casual question, for those who are not interested in either of the two topics above. What is your favorite constellation? Or star? Not that all of our worlds have the same stars, but I would still like to hear about them! Do they have a story or a legend that goes with them?


[ Wow this post is all over the place huh ]

Wouldn't be the first time I've worked on a church, and I've got nothing better to do at the moment.

[pyrafect]

Oh, even better! Repairing the churches in your world, I take it?

May I ask with whom I'm speaking?

[deathscyther]

Well, one. The one I lived in when I was little.

Duo Maxwell.

[pyrafect]

Excellent! It's nice to meet you, Duo.

Out of curiosity, do you have any experience with glass or metal works? Or are willing to learn? Some of the windows and their frames do need repairing.

This is Crowe. You all right?

[ She didn't say anything on the wedding announcement post, but it seemed like something she was looking forward to... ]

[pyrafect]

Just embarrassed, haha! I completely fell for their joke. So I'm sorry for the misunderstanding!

Were you looking forward to it, Crowe?

[allfornothing]

It was kind of mean to make, but with everyone thrown together, you never know how far anything'll be believed.

I only met Wei Wuxian once, so not much to expect on my side. You were, though, weren't you.

[ Her 'moral compass of the corps' senses are tingling because unfair, all right... ]

Saber has two feelings about the cancellation of that wedding, but it's nothing worth voicing on the forums. (Seriously though she's relieved for Xie Lian. And Lan Wangji can do better.) ]

Hello, Pyra. This is Blue Saber.
I would require instruction, but I would be happy to assist with the rebuilding effort.
As for constellations, I am fond of one called Leo. It was said to represent a lion who lured warriors to its lair by taking women as hostages. None could defeat it because it was impervious to all weaponry. However, the hero Heracles was strong and clever enough to abandon his weapons and fight the lion with his bare hands. When he defeated it, the god Zeus made his achievement evident for all to see by placing the lion in the night sky.

[pyrafect]

Blue Saber, right? :)

Saber, do you happen to have any of that dragon scales from before? I think that using them as arrangements on the corners of the pews or door frames might add a nice touch.

Ooh, I do like that story. It shows that heroes require both strength in their combat and in their mind, to be clever enough to overcome their enemies' offenses.

[artorian]

I did not keep any of the enchanted scales that were spread about town, but I do have a roll of dragon hide from the invasion. You may take scales from it as you see fit.
May I ask why the church has been prioritized over the town hall? Does it hold special significance to the people here?

[ She understands why people would feel the need for a holy place, but it surprises her a little to see it in this particular circumstance. ]

Good day Pyra! This is Link.

I would be happy to help with the church. I'm not much of a handyman, but I'm not afraid to get up on a roof or chop wood.

[pyrafect]

Good day, Link, as well! :)

[ Always happy to hear from him. And while she can certain get to the roof on her own and isn't afraid of heights... it's always better to work together!! ]

We can definitely use a little more wood to repair the roof, and just repairs in general. But promise me one thing, if you're going to climb up on the roof, please don't do it without another person around just in case! Someone has to catch you if you fall.

[ ...She doesn't know that he has a paraglider okok ]

[bakedapple]

Thank you for the concern, but there's no need to worry about me. I climb mountains and cliff sides all the time, so I know my own limitations very well. I'm probably the best person to send up to a high space.

i can help with the church

and my favourite constellation is hydra
in my world it's the biggest constellation and it looks like a giant snake. pretty cool right

[pyrafect]

I would grateful to have your help!! Mostly wood-carving and crafting and things like that.

[ Luckily at this back-dated point there are a bunch of fucking trees around! ]

A giant snake, huh? Like a serpent-type of dragon?

[lacrimose]

in the stories its like a big sea snake with lots of heads

the constellation just has one head though

There isn't enough real estate in the church for a party, you know.

[He's teasing, but he's also a brat.]

Re: #00CCFF

[pyrafect]

You're right about that haha. The reception would have been held elsewhere.... Although now that I actually think about it, that they didn't ever give a location for a reception in the first place.

I feel rather silly for not picking up on that sooner.

[ ....WOW she has no one but herself to blame for falling for this prank, huh. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMARTER. ]

May I ask who this is?

[bittybat]

Wayne.

I didn't mean the wedding; however, that too would have been fairly overcrowded for the church. A necessity perhaps.

I was talking about everyone coming to help.

[flinty]

they really had you thinking they wanted to tie the knot huh

[pyrafect]

honestly looking back i should have seen the signs

[ With Choubee, she's come to abandon PROPER GRAMMAR. There's something so satisfying about not bothering with punctuation and whatnot. It's like there's more honesty and feeling to the text? She's can't explain it, but it feels nice type with more emotion. ]

[flinty]

[ funny cause he just doesn't care ]

i mean its not really easy to tell if someones in love with someone else or not
that aint your fault
its definitely not the dumbest thing youve done here

A cancelled wedding? What a shame, I do hope it was an amicable thing.

Was there any particular reason for the church being fixed or was it simply the first thing that came to mind?

:>

[pyrafect]

Mm, it was just a prank, actually. I just sort of fell for it haha

The church seems to hold some significance to the town itself. A few months ago people pieced parts of a map together that led back to the church! But also, I believe that it's important to restore the church because it must have been important to those who have lived here. Whatever they believed in, it shows that they had hope, and that's a beautiful thing.

[scourged]

Doesn't sound like the best of pranks when many aren't laughing. Perhaps it's time you thought of one to return the favour.

I can't speak for hope, but it does make sense that such a place would be important. They do tend to be in the center of things and if a map leads to it then even more so. Did they ever find out why the map took them there?
