We're (finally) home! To celebrate, a repost of an old (like one month after I started shipping them) shot as they explore the Island Sanctuary.

Kara fails "Not a Scion," but I'm pretty sure Riol still counts as "Rarely-Shipped".

Maisie clears both criteria with Mr. Emotionally Secure over here, though.

Riol, visible from the waist up, is lying stomach-down on a bed, his eyes closed in peaceful contentment as he rests his head on, and holds in hand, his chosen pillow.

His chosen pillow is Kara's butt. He's napping on her butt.

Kara, for her part, is also face-down on the bed in her blue sports bra and boxer-briefs, but propped up on her elbows as she turns over her shoulder, meekly smiling back at Riol, her legs on either side of him and her tail draped over his back comfortingly.

Now that tax season's over, it's time to find a nice pillow and take a much-needed nap.

As you can probably guess from my very innovative #KaraRiol and #MaisieSid hashtags, I... don't really have any "ship names" for them.

Yeah, one *could* do something like Kariol or Maisid, but nothing has ever really grabbed me as feeling or sounding right.

Woo hoo!

Kara and Riol, aka Eorzea's Slowest Burn who start catching feelings during 2.x and don't do anything about it until 7.0, aka Just a Guy who's lovingly obsessed with his literal demigod girlfriend who is also trying to learn how to be Just a Guy.

Riol sitting on a bed with dozens of small, string-like lights in the background as Kara climbs against him, one leg bent up with her knee resting in his lap while standing on the other. Kara's hands rest / push back on Riol's shoulders as she looks down at him, while Riol's left arms reaches around towards her butt while he looks back up, both of them smiling affectionately.

Riol is shirtless (he's wearing red boxers but you can't see them due to the framing of the shot), while Kara wears a light blue lace lingerie bra and thong, as well as similarly-colored fishnet-style stockings with lacy bands.

Behind Riol's back, the tips of Kara's tail are visible as she wraps it around him.

I missed the "Sinday" window because I kept fussing with this for hours, but hopefully it provides y'all with some Monday cheer. 💖

Is this the first time I've actually managed to complete one of these?

Maybe. No, really, I don't actually know.

Left Image:  Alphinaud, Kara, and Tataru stand in Fortemps Manor. Alphinaud and Tataru each look towards the others of the group, while Kara looks over her left shoulder back towards the door. Consistent with Black Mage being her primary job focus since the beginning of Heavensward, she wears a blue shin-length robe with a gray mantle, along with black and gold gloves and gray boots. Her hair is pulled back into the ponytail she sported for nearly the entirety of the MSQ prior to Dawntrail.

Alphinaud:  "First the hostages at the Vault, then Vidofnir's miraculous appearance, and now the abdication of Count Edmont... this has been rather the eventful day. A promising step towards peace between man and dragon, perhaps, but Estinien yet eludes us."

Right Image:  A close shot over Alphinaud's shoulder, looking towards Kara. She now stands with her arms crossed, averting her gaze off to her right as she speaks, her brow furrowed.

Kara:  "What happens now?"

Alphinaud:  "It may be some time before we hear any news. I daresay we would all benefit from some rest while we have the chance."

I daresay we would all benefit from some rest while we have the chance."

Left Image:  Kara occupies most of the frame, from the waist up. She continues looking to her right, but her expression is softer, bordering on pensive.

Kara:  "There is a... personal matter I would like to attend to. Away from Ishgard. Will that be a problem?"

Right image:  The camera is looking down from behind Kara's left shoulder towards a bemused Alphinaud, who is holding his left hand up conversationally as he looks at Kara and replies.

Alphinaud: "Kara, please, you needn't ask permission from us, me least of all. If you have business elsewhere, by all means do as you wish."

Author's Note:  This comic was written before I had decided that most of the Scions (and virtually all non-Scions) refer to Kara by the long form of her name, Karayanga.  Were I remaking this today, Alphinaud would be doing the same.

Left Image:  Only Kara is visible, from the lower chest up, her arms still crossed, her gaze turned down and to the left in an expression dangerously close to "Sad."  She says nothing, with only blue ellipses hanging in the air by her head.

Right Top Image:  Kara begins turning to her right, towards the manor's front door, unceremoniously and abruptly effecting her exit from the scene and conversation.

Kara:  "Thank you. I will return in a few days."

Right Bottom Image:  The camera faces Tataru and Alphinaud, who look at each other in confusion and are both shrugging with her hands out to their sides. Tataru is accompanied by a bold pink question mark, while Alphinaud speaks.

Alphinaud:  "What in the Twelve do you suppose that was all about?"

A single full-screen image, capturing the northern entrance to Revenant's Toll as viewed from the direction of Coerthas. A lone guard stands beneath the gate in the distance, arm's crossed. Near the foreground, Kara is seen riding her chocobo, slowly approaching the settlement. In addition to her caster's robes, she is now wearing the tall, wide-brimmed yellow hat that completes her Black Mage attire.

Kara's chocobo, Kwehvin, is an unusual color for the species, an icy blue. He wears some light barding, but is generally nonplussed about the journey.

I basically color-code my OCs with 1–3 "primary" dyes:

A few:

• Kara: Void, Woad, and Seafog Blue
• Riol: Blood Red or Rust Red
• Maisie: Colibri Pink (usually white secondary)
• Sid: Some darker flavor of purple
• Kyra: Turquoise or Celeste Green

A blond hyuran man stands next to several large jack-o-lanterns, one hand on his hip, the one eye not covered by his eyepatch gazing aimlessly into the distance, thinking to himself with a slight smile. He is wearing a gaudy outfit of purple, white, and black, with gold ornamentation and a jeweled clasp, evocative of Ul'dahn gamblers.

The box next to him relays his thoughts:  "Another year, another All Saints Wake. Though I certainly weren't expecting her to be the one to suggest it. Glad she's getting more comfortable. At least, I think she is..."

At least, I think she is..."

The camera is zoomed closer to the man, only showing him from the chest up. His one green eye is slightly raised as he imagines the "date" he's due to meet—a black-scaled xaela woman with a blonde ponytail, wearing a sexy, bright blue, Playboy-style bunny outfit, striking a variety of seductive poses in his hopeful mind.

His thoughts continue: "Krile and Tataru said they got our outfits from the Gold Saucer this year. Probably think they're being clever again, but I ain't falling for that twice. Not that I'll complain about them trying..."

From off-screen to the right, a simple, quiet statement creeps into the picture, signaling the arrival of the subject of the man's wishful thinking.  "Riol. I am ready."

"Riol. I am ready."

The man, Riol, turns back to his left with a smile and his eye closed, starting to left his right arm in a welcoming gesture towards the festival, as he begins to greet his date before abruptly cutting off.

"Ah, there you are! Ready to head—"

Next to him stands... someone. It's impossible to tell exactly who, as the person is wearing a bulky, full-body outfit of a blue rabbit, similar to what a mascot might wear, with their head entirely hidden within the "rabbit head" of the costume.

Kara, the woman inside the rabbit costume, tries to look down at herself, although the bulk of the outfit makes the motion hard to execute, as she comments on her appearance, oblivious to the reaction of the man in front of her:

"I think that I liked last year's outfit better. This is quite cumbersome."

Meanwhile, Riol holds one hand on his hip and the other up to his lowered forehead in exasperation, gritting his teeth and rolling his eyes. Or maybe just rolling his eye. However many eyes he's rolling, he's clearly had enough of his mischievous colleagues dressing Kara in order to play pranks on him.

Left Image: At the bottom of the Syrcus Trench, a woman is seen from behind arriving through a purple teleportation effect. The woman has short white hair and a black spiked tail. She is wearing heavy, worn armor, and has a large, decorated greatsword strapped across her back.

Right Image: The teleportation has ended, and the woman drops to the ground hard, crumpling to her hands and knees with jarring shocks throughout her body, grunting from the pain and impact.

A wide-angle shot of the interior of the Rising Stones, lit by lanterns and candles. Several members of the Scions are present, scattered throughout the room and engaged in their own activities or conversations. A creaking sound effect can be seen coming from off-screen in the direction of the main entrance.

Shot from the main entrance looking in to the Rising Stones. Kara, the white-haired woman from before, is in the foreground facing away, leaning on her greatsword like a crutch, while a harsh, heavy noise effect comes from the door slamming behind her. In the background, Tataru, a short lalafell in a pink coat, has her arms thrown up in shock, while Ephemie, the Scions' Elezen bartender, clutches her hands in front of her red bliaud.

I'm going to have to figure out some "personal tags" to keep stuff organized, I guess.

#Kara and #KaraRiol seem obvious.

Maybe something like #gposecomic for short one-offs and #gposeVN for longer-form?

#OCLore? Tags for *each* other OC, or group them somehow? Will have to think about it. 🤔
