Revival for pyramidsmash / mayoninofukucho

[Near the Pink Rose and White Iris, a Snake's Head Lily had taken bloom, visible against the snow now the light had finally returned to the world. It still carried Rider's scent- along with a hint of blood. But nevertheless, on the third day since Rider's death, the bloom opened as expected.

It was not unlike being summoned. The haze of whatever existence she had in the Throne giving way for a rush of awareness and consciousness- and a sharp cold as she tumbled out onto the snow.

The white dress she wore now only came down to her knees and shoulders. And as she swiftly turned her gleaming cursed eyes to the ground- she couldn't look at them, please say one of them had brought her glasses or blindfold- they fell instead on the black and gold clawed hands digging into the snow. The golden scales that covered her lower arms, most of her legs- and although she couldn't see them, the sides of her neck and edges of her cheeks.]

W-what...

[A sharp intake of breath, tail curling around herself to rest across her knees. Rider couldn't tell if the corruption from the void was still inside her, but it had certainly left it's mark.

...It was cold, here. She wanted to go home.]

Reunions for existing CR

I apologise for the trouble, but I have been brought back. I want to come over if you are not busy.

[She'll send most of her contacts a message once she'd settled back at her house, checked on her Pokémon and pets, and got herself changed- thankfully, she hadn't changed to Gorgon's height, so most of her clothes still fit once her tail was accounted for.

She wanted to see them. At least to get the whole 'so the corruption messed with my Spirit Origin and now I've ended up like this' talks out the way. But also... right now, she would appreciate the comfort and company, and a chance to have a good sulk about the circumstances.]

Around the City OPEN

[Rider could be found at a few places following the immediate aftermath of her revival, when she wasn't sulking at someone's house. Being closer to monster than human... what was she meant to do now? Falling back into old routines was not difficult, but it would take some getting used to...

At the gatcha restaurant, enjoying some very, very rare steak. "Maybe this was not such a wise idea, under the circumstances..."

At the Solarpeak beach, taking some time to enjoy the water. "At least the water still feels nice."

At the Amberfall library, curled up in a corner with a book, tail flicking occasionally as she listened to people wandering around.

Or of course, lounging around at the Pyramid House, giving a small nod a greeting to any other harem members or visitors.]
