Ignore it right up until you hear Dynara pulling into the driveway. Then panic-complete as many as possible.

Maylea would probably pick a chore to do and get really into it.
Several hundred years later, someone comes by and finds She has done many different iterations of that one chore and only that chore, and because of that has missed many many dinner parties and a few centuries of gossip.
But She's doing just fine and didn't realise it's been that long.

Lantra's incredibly high standards for cleanliness would intimidate any would-be helper, because no one would do the job as well as she would, so please get out of her way thank you. Everything would be done with obsessively meticulous care and precision.

Mysrai would only perform chores that have meaning of some sort. Something that has a direct positive impact on (mostly) Themselves or (to a lesser extent) those around Them. Anything else devolves into Them breaking down why the chore is considered useful by others and exactly why that's stupid and not actually worth doing. You can do it if you like, but They might judge you slightly for it.

Terentia was originally assigned to dust all the furniture; however, She was then told to wash the dishes. She would do so begrudgingly, at first. However, given time, She finds ways to maximize Her efficiency at doing the dishes--not simply finding ways to get it done faster, but to get them cleaner and more sanitized. She'd scoff at the idea of using a dishwasher, because it is better to work with your hands. This skill then begins transferring to other chores She gets tasked with: laundry, mowing the lawn, bathroom clean-up, etc. Sundays are chosen as chore days, and She manages to get them done by 4:00 in the afternoon (She wakes up at 8am).
I have a question for my fellow Havens Divine: If you could trade godroles for a day to see how life is like in someone else's immortal shoes, which god would you make the deal with? Just 24 hours of swanning around as someone else!
I think taking @Drocilla for a spin would be fascinating. That delicious, delicious betrayal of Li-varili. What a fun role.

I think a lot of us view 'Book of X' as a chronological retelling of the Elder's past. I actually started writing one as Lantra (and got significantly far along in it!) before I realized writing a "Book of Lantra" wasn't the way I wanted to reveal that lore. Being confined to chronology and writing from first person both were aspects I found limiting. My current mechanic is revealing glimpses into memories with visions through the Fonts in my temple, which are written in second person and not tied to any timeline in their expression, though I do personally track the order of events for my own sanity. Second person lets me "show" something without explaining it as well, which gives more room for player interpretation. The "out-of-time" aspect also gives me the freedom to jump around the histories without having to commit to things that I would need to rely on a future Malmydia or another admin to pin down! I'm very happy with how it's turned out.
Are you asking as me or as Lantra? If Lantra could go back in time with what she knows now, she would have done everything in her power to prevent Malmydia's work on Fininkora the Fair, Thax, etc, and never even attempted civility with her. She probably would have never taught her any of the Hamadhi's healing arts at all. If you're asking me the admin, hm hm. I wish that Eventru and Lantra could have interacted ICly in Lusternia before Valtreth happened. I think that would have been an enjoyable dynamic!
I honestly think it's very tricky to be confrontational as a "nice" Divine without people wondering if you, the OOCadmin, are the one who is actually upset or unhappy with a player. I enjoy being severe, judgmental Lantra, but I always try to be mindful of the player on the other side of the screen, and attempt to gauge how they will react to what I say and do. I'll admit sometimes I temper my responses to things with this in mind, because in the end, I want players in Lusternia to enjoy themselves more than I want to embrace the darker side of my roleplay. I think roles like Li-varili, Nocht, and Drocilla worry about this much, much less, because there is an inherent expectation they will be adversarial.
They can roll around in the stinky Taint and Wyrd all they want. I'll bask on the beach in the Light, thank you.

1. It wouldn't be a book, but it would cover the time period from birth to returning to Lusternia! The most difficult thing for me is trying to think of how to present his story in a way that's appealing to people who follow Nocht as he is now since Nocht changed pretty significantly in the Void.
2. IC? I go waaaay back and stop a certain someone from going with someone to meet several someones. OOC? I would do a completely different event to release Nocht.
3. Have exactly 0 flowers spouting out of Their bodies.
4. Tolerate half-formed. @Lantra can have the supernals. Nocht doesn't have time for that nonsense.

Of the active godroles, I think I would love to take @Mysrai for a day. If only because the role has near limitless possibilities with a heavy and formative history. Maybe @Thax, because I feel like there is something fascinating about the idea of man made out of tin (I am a Wizard of Oz fan). If we are talking about any of the godroles, I think @Zvoltz for similar reasons to Mysrai.

Similar to @Nocht, I think the "Book of X" (starting with, @Maylea, I think) encompasses so much more than the Elder Wars. It is a history of an Elder. I think to me, like @Lantra, there is a question on how this book comes to pass, how it looks. I don't know if Terentia would have a formal book either, but what the "Book of Terentia" would be is something that shows and explains where she comes from and how she is what she is now. What I do know is that there will be two different "Books of Terentia." Mainly because there is the history of Terentia as Terentia (and particular individuals who are important to her, Meridian e.g.), but there is also the history of Terentia in relation to a whole slew of other gods by virtue of leading a formation.
IC: This is a hard one and not easy to share because of what of Terentia's history would be replaced. When this history becomes available, I will share. OOC: I will have to think about this one more. Sorry!
Engage with players (in Order or non-Order situations) without the assumption that if you aren't a good combatant that Terentia doesn't care about you.
Be straightforward in a way that doesn't mince words.
There are a bunch of real world logic games and puzzles that I have on my list to reproduce in some way in Lusternia. I've always dreamed about figuring out how to make the mancala game work that I received from the departing MKO team forever ago. Maybe I will try to go back to that sometime soon.

I would personally love to play @Maylea for a day. There's no greater reason here other than I have a lot of knowledge about flower meanings and their uses/capabilities, and the only time I've really gotten to use it during my history as Mysrai was when my priest was asked to marry Nepenthe and Afrit.

1. The Book of Mysrai was written, memorised, shared among Certain Other NPCs (spoilers ), and then destroyed. Mysrai is a divine who is not meant to dwell on the past, which is one of Their greatest weaknesses and limitations in Their inability to accept the fate of Their sibling(s). Mysrai, in destroying this book, was saying that "The future and the present is where the attention of Lusternia must be if we are to survive".
2. I would personally change it so that Zvoltz was on Mysrai's side after the Incident which wounded Ashtariel. Mysrai would change it so that Ashtariel was never wounded.
3. Interact with each other without the fear and caution that comes with one party alleged to be a Primal god with a penchance for destruction.
4. Keep a single form. Mysrai only does this when they are ill, and it only worsens Their mood and situation when They are unable (for whatever reason) to be as fluid and free as They so desire.
5. Departing from the board games (I also would love to see Lusternian clue beyond Stewartsville): I'd love to see the Mesoamerican ball games. It seems like it would be really complicated and ruthless and fun. Aslaran and furrikin would definitely be at an advantage.

Someone said this once and it stuck with me: Lantra is one of those beautifully fluffy elegant cats that does not under any circumstances want to be touched.
Hmm! This is a tricky one, I'm not sure. You could make the argument for Celestia or Mornhai, but neither is seeming like the right choice. I'll think on this.
OOC:
I love any time that players unexpectedly catch onto a quirk of Lantra's and react to it. It's always such fun to respond to in the moment. She's a pretty understated personality in a lot of ways, so when people pick up on her little nuances, it's very satisfying for me.
This is a great question. My advice would boil down to, "Remember that being an admin doesn't mean making everyone happy all the time. Some days, it's enough if you're making yourself happy." There will be days you and your order aren't logging in during the same hours. There will be things you build that don't get the glowing reception you want. The players you most enjoy engaging with could one day stop logging in because life got busy. That doesn't mean you are inherently failing as an admin, though. I made a deal with myself early on to make time to design, create and implement things that give me great personal satisfaction in Lusternia, because no matter what the player reaction wound up being in those moments, I could look myself in the mirror and say, "I made something I personally stand by and feel great about." It's easy to think being an admin is only about giving to the playerbase, because that's 99% of what you do. Don't forget, though, about the 1% that's focused on making the experience good for you, too. Something needs to fuel you on the days that nothing else does.
I love easter eggs! Rhizoda in particular has a few fun ones.

Think more about what would be fun in an area, and not so much about hitting a certain difficulty or time requirement.
I'm horrible at naming things, and this was even more true long ago. I may have named a few rooms, somewhere, using a fantasy language translator and shifting letters slightly to get something that looked pleasing enough. The translations are very, very uninspired...

It is hard to top the infamous "@Avaris Asks A Question" but most recently I liked the interaction with @Falaine at New Celest's harbour.

It has some reactions for mortals, but for Terentia in particular, there are some nice treats for Her to get into the mood and mindset.

2. What's the most hilarious thing you've accidentally seen/done to or with a mortal (and are willing to share)? (No need to name names of course!)
Worst thing about being a healer is you can't really heal yourself all that well. Lantra would probably quietly suffer someone else being an INFERIOR Hamadhi substitute while trying to be on her best behavior (but silently critiquing everyone's bad techniques the whole time). Lan is also a workaholic, so this is probably the result of working herself to exhaustion and ignoring all the signs that she is destroying herself until it's too late. She probably absolutely loathes being sick more than just about anything else, because it robs her of control of a situation that she is normally very much the most control of: healing.
Probably when I accidentally drowned @Avaris during his task of Devotion, ahahaha. "Can you bring water into the room, Lady?" Oh sure, let's turn on the "room is flooded" flag for realism! Oh no. Oh he doesn't have a waterbreathe enchantment. This was a mistake. (Second place "oops" is something I hope to be able to gleefully share at a later date, so stay tuned!)

Oh there is no way this would ever be willing, but that makes answering this more fun. We're talking full on Rites of Abomination here, yeah?
One of two things would happen. One would be that Lantra's Purity complex would be completely inverted. She would stand for the exact opposite of what she stands for now, which is the sanctity of Creation as Dynara first envisioned it. Instead, she would be seeking to complete the natural "next step" of Dynara's creation -- making her later, I think, a pro-Taint, Magnagoran entity. Because if corruption and corrosion is ultimately inevitable and irreversible, then why not accelerate that end, and relent to completing Dynara's last sacred mission?
The other answer is that she would be so horrified by what she had become she would lose her mind. She's too in tune with the immanidivinus etherea, I think. She would be too aware of the ways that the rites had changed what Dynara had made her. I think she would go insane.

Morgsrai. Alternatively, Mysfyre. There's no way they could both exist at the same time, and they would attempt to consume each other, very likely becoming a greater entity in the process.

What FanFiction needs to be written about your Divine self and why?
1.) Other than taking a break from Lusternia and taking a breather? Building, usually. A lot of my favorite work I've done in Lusternia hasn't actually been under Lantra's IC domain, but things I've written anonymously as an admin behind the scenes. I like piecing together stories in Lusternia and answering "What if?" questions through quest and area building: not just for Celest, but for the game as a whole. It's especially rewarding if I can churn out creative goodies for other admin, giving them toys I know they'll benefit from being put into the Lusternia universe. Year arcs are fulfilling because they scratch this itch as well, but they have a stricter timeline. If I'm puttering away at a brand new area behind the scenes, it's done when I want it to be. Works well as a backburner if you chip away at it slowly in your downtime.
2.) Being able to goof around more easily and fly under the radar. Lantra is a very serious character and she has little room for joking around or levity. I love that about her, but it's a static dynamic; her responses to various types of characters are set, and she will have limited changes in how she reacts to the world. It can also be frustrating to have those reactions interpreted as how I, the admin, feel about a player rather than how Lantra feels. This is to say that I can't just hop on an OOC clan and say, "PS, I'm not Lantra IRL." And this isn't even including the fact that when a god shows up, many players go completely silent and don't know what to do! NPCs can give more options, but it's not the same as just logging in and chilling at the nexus as a fun, low stakes alt.
3.) The mechanics and combat. The reluctant obligation to participate in political drama. Revolts/aetherflares/etc etc.
4.) This is an interesting question. I'll just say that Lantra believes she is always right and the sooner everyone else agrees to it and stops being Just Another Disappointment, the better.
5.) Thax x Lantra fanfiction, one-sided: unrequited love turned to hate from the metal man in a suit for the goddess who views him as the embodiment of everything wrong in the world. Mm, angsty angst. Delicious.

Like, any kind of project or a Lusternia specific project? Ultimately the both are the same kind of thing, but they end up being done for different reasons--i.e. playing video games of some kind, haha. For Lusternia at least, I usually turn to them for some sort of inspiration or ideas to think through ruts.
I don't really miss being a mortal, but I do always going to Shallach and bashing the orcs. There was something very nice about the simplicity of that area.
The feeling of guilt about not investing time or energy in an alt when my "main" was all equipped and good to go; the feeling that I didn't have much interest in my "main."
This is a hard question. I think the problem is, unless there are certain circumstances, Terentia (and maybe all Warrior Elders) would have little need to "bring the basin together."
I don't really read fanfiction, so I have no idea what would need to be written about Terentia or why.
(PS--take this meager post as a sign that I have passed through my exams--so expect Terentia soonish... hopefully 🙈)
Terentia said I don't really miss being a mortal, but I do always going to Shallach and bashing the orcs. There was something very nice about the simplicity of that area.
Some of their saying when I was a novice, good grief.

1. When I need to take a break from a Lusternia project, I will go in one of two directions depending on why I need a break: I'll dive in and help with someone else's project, or I will dive in to any number of video games. For me as a newer admin, doing things with or for other members of the team is a great way for me to learn. Like @Lantra, it can also reinvigorate my creativity and inspire me again, and it also just feels good to contribute to the health and energy of the entire game. If I've temporarily exhausted that creativity, like @Terentia I will often find it in the stories and conflicts of different roleplaying games I enjoy!
2. Like many players and admin, as a player I was (shockingly) really into creating things. When you're an admin, you still get to do that a lot, and your work definitely gets noticed and appreciated (even if players don't know it was your writing they enjoy!) but you don't really get to put your stamp on something and say, "That's me, I did that." That's why a lot of us thrive on any and every rave players post about logs, quests, areas, events, even short lines and small details - it feels good to be reminded that players take notice and enjoy what we do.
3. Worrying about whether my designs will be approved in time for important events!
4. By persuasion or by force? Because ideally, the Basin would just wake up one day and see how badly they need Moon and Seralem in their lives, but she wouldn't go and grab the Nature Seal to do it. Really. I promise.
5. Obviously, the fanfic where Lisaera didn't become a traitor to the Traitors. Lisaera and Drocilla teaming up to save the world at any cost!

3. @Mysrai and Their ever changing shapes. Even Lisaera and Her multiple aspects. Just would be neat to shift once in a while.
4. @Carakhan and Her tail. Maylea would not like a tail, but Carakhan's tail is cool.
5. Abstain.
2. How do you deal with stress?
1. What is your most memorable or favorite spontaneous (non-Event) RP moment?
2. If you could go back and talk to your Ephemeral-self, what would you tell them?
3. What is your favorite easter egg in the game?
- Someone said this once and it stuck with me: Lantra is one of those beautifully fluffy elegant cats that does not under any circumstances want to be touched.
- Stress? What stress? It's fine.
- Hmm! This is a tricky one, I'm not sure. You could make the argument for Celestia or Mornhai, but neither is seeming like the right choice. I'll think on this.
OOC:- Cat. No, I'm not copying @Lantra, I swear! I thought of it before I even read her reply. Nocht would be the mysterious, aloof black cat.
- Nocht knows that everything will eventually work to his favor. There's no stress to deal with.
- A particular spot high in the mountains where you can see most of the Basin from.
OOC:Touch-me-not!
- Probably a lioness? Does all the work for the male lions (aka the Firsts) and is the primary hunter (Warrior, Golden Circle)?
- Exercise.
- "Atop a sunlit peak" (Mt. Seirode and its variations) or "Monastery Bell-Tower" (Tosha).
OOC:- It is hard to top the infamous "@Avaris Asks A Question" but most recently I liked the interaction with @Falaine at New Celest's harbour. It was a kind of "letting Terentia's hair down," especially with the firemead in the flask. It has some reactions for mortals, but for Terentia in particular, there are some nice treats for Her to get into the mood and mindset.
- Progging gets easier. Don't be upset with yourself at not getting it immediately.
- @Hoaracle's roaming bottle.
Since you said any that are excluding what is associated with Terentia, maybe the gladiolus?For whatever reason (ignoring the fact that they might not willingly have), your god role took the elixir in the Elder Wars. How would they have been changed, and what would they be doing today?
Inversely for any elixir drinkers, what if your godrole didn’t partake?
One of two things would happen. One would be that Lantra's Purity complex would be completely inverted. She would stand for the exact opposite of what she stands for now, which is the sanctity of Creation as Dynara first envisioned it. Instead, she would be seeking to complete the natural "next step" of Dynara's creation -- making her later, I think, a pro-Taint, Magnagoran entity. Because if corruption and corrosion is ultimately inevitable and irreversible, then why not accelerate that end, and relent to completing Dynara's last sacred mission?
The other answer is that she would be so horrified by what she had become she would lose her mind. She's too in tune with the immanidivinus etherea, I think. She would be too aware of the ways that the rites had changed what Dynara had made her. I think she would go insane.
Morgsrai. Alternatively, Mysfyre. There's no way they could both exist at the same time, and they would attempt to consume each other, very likely becoming a greater entity in the process.
1.) What is your favorite thing to do when you need a break from a project?
2.) What do you miss most about being a mortal? Like an activity or a quest that you could mindlessly do.
3.) What do you not miss about your mortal skin?
4.) If you could do one thing to bring the basin together as your Divine self what would it be? Would He/She ever do it?
5.) What FanFiction needs to be written about your Divine self and why?
2.) Being able to goof around more easily and fly under the radar. Lantra is a very serious character and she has little room for joking around or levity. I love that about her, but it's a static dynamic; her responses to various types of characters are set, and she will have limited changes in how she reacts to the world. It can also be frustrating to have those reactions interpreted as how I, the admin, feel about a player rather than how Lantra feels. This is to say that I can't just hop on an OOC clan and say, "PS, I'm not Lantra IRL." And this isn't even including the fact that when a god shows up, many players go completely silent and don't know what to do! NPCs can give more options, but it's not the same as just logging in and chilling at the nexus as a fun, low stakes alt.
3.) The mechanics and combat. The reluctant obligation to participate in political drama. Revolts/aetherflares/etc etc.
4.) This is an interesting question. I'll just say that Lantra believes she is always right and the sooner everyone else agrees to it and stops being Just Another Disappointment, the better.
5.) Thax x Lantra fanfiction, one-sided: unrequited love turned to hate from the metal man in a suit for the goddess who views him as the embodiment of everything wrong in the world. Mm, angsty angst. Delicious.
- Like, any kind of project or a Lusternia specific project? Ultimately the both are the same kind of thing, but they end up being done for different reasons--i.e. playing video games of some kind, haha. For Lusternia at least, I usually turn to them for some sort of inspiration or ideas to think through ruts.
- I don't really miss being a mortal, but I do always going to Shallach and bashing the orcs. There was something very nice about the simplicity of that area.
- The feeling of guilt about not investing time or energy in an alt when my "main" was all equipped and good to go; the feeling that I didn't have much interest in my "main."
- This is a hard question. I think the problem is, unless there are certain circumstances, Terentia (and maybe all Warrior Elders) would have little need to "bring the basin together."
- I don't really read fanfiction, so I have no idea what would need to be written about Terentia or why.
(PS--take this meager post as a sign that I have passed through my exams--so expect Terentia soonish... hopefully 🙈)I don't really miss being a mortal, but I do always going to Shallach and bashing the orcs. There was something very nice about the simplicity of that area.
Some of their saying when I was a novice, good grief.
