Somewhere along meteor lake's shores...
As the ice across Meteor Lake thaws, countless shimmering crystalline hearts wash up on its shores. In droves, the creatures of Skire gather these hearts to give as gifts to those they hold dear, representative of good luck, happiness, warmth, and a year ahead together.
In your hand the Sand Hearts are smooth, their texture not unlike warn porcelain. Each shimmers with a different color and a brilliant opalescent glimmer. It is rumored they are the scales of a great serpent that inhabits the deepest reaches of the lake, shedding its plates each winter to begin growing a new.
This year from the waters emerges a duo; two Nautipods with alternating colors and wings on their backs, filled with energy. They've set up around the shores of Meteor Lake, leading the charge in collecting the Heart Shells, distributing their own collection to everyone who makes their way there.
"We're here for all of you!" Hart begins, "In the coming year, it is most important to me that you give time to yourself! While I know we're here to spread the love, you're deserving of it too, and through it all, don't forget to give yourself a little love as well. You deserve to make yourself happy, too!"
"Even the smallest actions can show your love to one another," Strings adds on, "Even if you don't find a shell, love comes in many beautiful forms, and spare a little kindness to everyone you meet in life. A little kindness goes a long way, and even the most simple gestures can make a person's day! We all need a little support, so let the ones you love know that you care."
💗what does your character do this Skirentines?
Draw or write about an Official Skire Character gathering Sand Hearts or sharing a Sand Heart with someone to wish them happiness, warmth, and good luck for the year. They can be given to anyone! Family, friends, pets, partners, strangers, and yes, even your houseplants.
Consider:
- Does your character search for lots of sand hearts or do they only find one or two?
- Does your character choose to share the Sand Hearts, or do they prefer to keep to themselves?
- Is your character gifted a heart by someone they care for, or a stranger?
- Is it too cold to go to the beach? Does your character maybe stay home and eat some fancy comfort chocolates, and perhaps a Heart shows up on their porch?
- Mushy affection holidays not your character’s jam? Show what they’d rather be doing, bah humbug!
Please check if the character is AVAILABLE or ASK FIRST. Please always make sure to ask if it is not clear! NPCs are available for this prompt.
