cultmirror[Those who have already spoken to Kalmiya through the Murmur may recognize the blip of distinct feeling when she first tugs at the weave of energy: a buzzing, crackly feeling of distrust. Distant like a radio halfway across a house, and yet surrounding everything else in the connection, static waiting to spark in dry winter air.
Then it quiets. Someone turning off the radio. Part of the connection still feels charged in a way, but it doesn't interrupt or overlay the genuine curiosity that next plays along the web of the network, accompanied only by the conversational singsong of Kalmiya's voice.] Heeey~♪ For those who haven't had the pleasure of meeting me yet, my name is Kalmiya. For those who have: congratulations on your good fortune!
[Though the pull at her end of the Murmur indicates some exaggeration in this attitude, there's no insincerity to her confidence.]
So, I want to know about hobbies. What everyone does for fun and enrichment. As Noah suggested, I think it's a good idea to get to know each other a little better, but I admit my purposes go beyond personal curiosity.
If you tell me about a pastime that makes you happy, I'll be certain to keep an eye out for supplies that would help you to participate in that pastime. I'll deliver them to you for the very reasonable cost of a snack upon my arrival. And, if your hobby requires company, I'm happy to provide mine!
Unless your hobby is, like, murder. Or torture or something. [This comes out a little too breezily, as if those are a normal kind of hobby.] I'll spar with you if that's what you need, but I'm no target dummy! You'll have to find someone else to help you work out those urges.
[Up to this point, it's been all cheeky playfulness; not facetious, but certainly stretched, a tad performative. That aura of silliness ebbs as she continues, her tone growing...not exactly serious, but somber. Wistful. The threads take on some heaviness in the mind and the lilt of her voice bobs a bit less, though it retains the airy acceptance of her easygoing nature.] I know it may seem frivolous in a situation like this. But it's important to hold on to what makes us happy—especially when everything else is so miserable. Joy is vital to maintaining ourselves.
[Herself, and her self, if what One said was anything to go by.]
So just let me know what you need. I'll do what I can to entertain you.
[ OOC: Kalmiya would reach out prior to the mask-thrumming and dire urging to Tether, but your character is free to reach back out to her at any time if they want to respond! just let me know in your tag or subject line what the timing on the response is! 💖 ]
