Initial Arcana Conversations: Strength

[giveme]

What you can call them: Durga, Eight, Strength

What their conversation space looks like: This space is an open field, surrounded by marigolds. If one were to look closely, it appears each marigold has exactly eight petals. In the middle of the open field is a sturdy wooden ottoman, carved delicately with the likenesses of lotuses. Next to it is a matching end table, with a steaming cup of masala chai sitting on a saucer with some tea biscuits.

What can you expect from Arcana Chats: Strength is an Arcana of few words, but she speaks kindly to her Travelers. Her intent is clear, if she’s asked about that--if she wins, then she’ll send everyone home. She’s more willing to call her Chosen partners rather than underlings or workers or anything of that sort.

Can you describe more of the scents beyond the ones of the items above? What sort of sounds?

Also uh how would she have handled him being blind? That's going to very much color his opinion of her. (There are resources on Ignis's journal about how to guide if you need.)

sorry for the wait!

The area will smell like the marigolds, lotuses, and the chai tea. It's relatively peaceful, though there are some faint outdoorsy sounds--chirping birds and the occasional buzzing insect or croaking frog--but nothing suggesting the animals are right there. They're all in the distance somewhere. There are no sounds suggesting industry or traffic, so there's a sense of being out in the country/middle of nowhere.

She's not going to be an ass about his being blind, far from it. She'll be very respectful of that. If he has trouble navigating, she will approach him and offer one of her many arms to guide him to the table. She's not at all bothered by the fact that he's blind; that's something he's got to work out for himself (she can offer advice or a better cane) and has no bearing on his ability to accomplish anything as far as she's concerned.

No problem!

He'll probably accept some of the help and will definitely accept chai tea. And it'll be a good confidence booster in that she believes his blindness won't hinder him in the long run. He might get a bit of advice but he's got a good cane. So he'll like her in the end and be glad he was picked by her.

Thank you for the answers!
