CHARACTER: Orpheus! PLAYER: QV ( please feel absolutely free to add me over at quodVide#2951 on Discord | questionableveracity ) SUMMARY;wall of text incoming I'm so sorry
ALRIGHT SO. After some discussion with Floral, immediate future plans are for Orpheus and Eurydice to go traveling between worlds together while Persephone puts the seasons back in order back where they came from. If you want to assume they stopped by, that's A-OK by me! They'll probably be spending a lot of time in Salieri's Vienna, but it'll take a while for their world to start to recover from the combined dustbowl/yearly blizzard-drought cycle apocalypse that was going on back there, so they're happy to take as many detours on their way back home as their friends will put up with.
After that, they'll be settling down in a little cottage on a cliff by the sea, though Salieri will be maintaining a place for them at his estate for when some of the gods responsible for the weather or the harvest or whatever (looking at you Poseidon and Amphitrite) inevitably start having Problems again and they want to get the fuck out of there. Eventually, probably in a few years once they get over that intense dustbowl/millennial solidarity fear of the failing environment and economy and can both be sure that it's safe, they'll have a daughter named Phoebe, who I'm sure you're all eager to spoil rotten. Drawings of her are probably incoming once my hand is okay again because I'm trash and will not stop crying about them getting a happy ending and a family.
Anyway, Orpheus will also start coming into his own as an oracle as he gets older. He does this in mythic canon after Eurydice dies, but I figured here it might be fun to play with the fact that he now exists in a highly meta-aware narrative-driven multiverse and his mother is the goddess of epic poetry/longform storytelling, and have his Sight manifest as being able to sense tone and narrative threads as they're forming. He's not a Narrator, but he can hear the background music, so to speak. People will come to him with offerings in exchange for advice as they do with oracles and he'll tell them weird cryptic bullshit and Eurydice will sigh and translate for him or offer more practical advice.
Also, someday his mom is actually going to come back for him, and when she does he'll call in the massive favor she owes him for wandering off on him for most of his life and ask her to take his immortality away. Can muses do that? Fuck if I know, maybe she calls in a favor from Zeus for him being a terrible dad in turn. Chain parental guilt. Either way, it means he and Eurydice get to grow old together, and when their time comes they go peacefully to the Underworld together, hand in hand.
(This may be a low key invitation for those capable to break into Hadestown and visit them in Elysium or Apshodel or wherever they wind up.)
LOOKING FOR; Man what am I not down for. I fully expect PSL stuff from any of you who are willing - Orpheus will happily help out with the Somniatores project with his budding future sight as well as just visit people whenever he can find an excuse to. Continuations of close CR are great!! Filling in CR that didn't get visited on much in game would also be great! I'm here for all of it.
