[Ever since the loss of the Harbinger Oracle, Rin doesn't leave Highstorm much these days. Over time she has gathered the resources to avoid shopping in Springstar, and it's not as if she gets invited to that side much anyway. Retreating back into the shadows of Highstorm's evernight simply feels natural for a mage. And yet she finds herself sullen and lonely any time she thinks of being the only one who doesn't want to see that world restored.
As such the following prompts are both within Highstorm, and one can't expect her to leave the island unless called upon. This also means not getting involved in the murder plot, but instead sticking around Highstorm in hopes of fending off any counterattacks.]
✧ 1. Aftermath
[Unfortunately the type of counterattack that Meridian launched wasn't one she could protect the city from. As such Tohsaka is put in a more reactionary position. Scrambling to the scene of the destruction to help in any way she can. With her Discord higher because of the damage taken to Sakura's shard earlier in the month, her powers are a little unstable from time to time. So, while it is unusual for her, Rin switches between utilizing her regular powers and her Harmonized abilities (amplified by the Crest that Aetos had carved into her). Tohsaka can be found:
a.Rescue efforts Removing rubble and debris to save citizens who may have been trapped by the blast and to look for Yima. She'll spend ours scouring the mountain of dust, dirt, and death even if it means faltering from seeing some of the more mangled bodies. She may even faint a little or throw up.
b.Time & Healing After hours of search Rin will either be unable to keep up her stamina or physically dragged out of search efforts by someone else. Following this she'll settle with helping heal the wounded and comfort the scared. While Rin isn't very good at the latter, her status as a tier 2 loyalist makes some NPCs feel as if they're in good hands despite her stilted bedside manner.
Perhaps she saves your character from the mess, heals them from some grievous wound, or maybe they're working together in the effort of trying to pick up the pieces. Either way, Rin is going to be quite noticeably exhausted. Worn thin but forging on despite it all.]
✧ 2. Generosity
[In the coming days Rin is spending half her time with restoration efforts and half her time meeting those who lost their homes at Yima's manner at her storefront. She doesn't advertise her charitable actions, but she does discreetly make sure that those who are suffering at least have hygiene products or healing salves for their trouble. And while she emphasizes that those in need shouldn't talk about it unless they're referring someone else over, there still ends up being talk in hushed and whispered tones. Her shop will be looking emptier these days, and sometimes she'll bring someone back into her solarium and they'll leave with a bundle of dried lavender or a small cloth with a little produce she has managed to grow with some magic lights.
a.Frost Burn In the coming days one may find Rin attempting to cover up the many windows of her shop. The back of her hand already bleached white, some of her clothes impacted with splotches of mismatched color, and the like... she's taking measures to safeguard the storefront which also happens to be the lead-in to her home. Because she's already been touched by the light, sometimes one my find Rin simply lying on her cold store floor and looking listlessly up at the ceiling. Inwardly tired and outwardly motionless. As if the world doesn't even need to expend any effort to just crush her.
b.Lost in Place Exhaustion combined with Discord. That's what it has to be. Losing her way time and time again... normally it wouldn't be an issue. With her home and her shop she really doesn't have an excuse to leave unless it's a trip to the Antiques Market However with recent events (too tired to make more product, giving away free stuff to those in need) means that... well, she needs a second job. Yeah, if she wants to afford to keep making soaps and salves and lotions she'll need money to buy the ingredients she cannot make herself. Over time she'll be trying and failing (and getting lost) at plenty of part-time jobs.
Feel free to have your character walk over her at her shop, catch her lost in the middle of Highstorm looking like she's about to cry, or anything else. If you're unsure PM me and we can wildcard it a little or figure something specific out.]
[FYI: Despite the Discord alleviation from Florence, Rin has accumulated a good chunk of it due to a bit of unrelated (Sakura's shard) stress. As such one will be able to notice a few features: black sclera contrasting with her bright blue eyes, her skin in some places will have patches of opalescent scales that - when they flake away - reveal empty shadow or the red veins of something hauntingly familiar. Oh... is her sweater not filling out at the upper arm in the same way on each side? Hm. Maybe it's a trick. It doesn't always look like that...
Rin's Discord will fluctuate and vary. She has plenty of cross-aspect familiarity with people to help lower the symptoms, but she's also close to opposing-aspect people who heighten her accrual. Not only that, but the crest Aetos had inscribed into her body holds onto Discord and cannot be expelled normally.]
