Where are you, Lumièra?
WHEN are you, Lumièra?

I am LIVE with a special duet episode on twitch.tv/TransplanarRPG alongside @lusttforlifeex.bsky.social as Lumièra, she who suffers more than god.

We’re back from #PaxU and ready to break some hearts. Let’s learn how Time travel works, shall we?
Connie holds a miniature of Lumièra in front of their right eye while gazing at the camera. Connie is a Chinese person with light brown skin and short black hair shaved on one side. They wear black over the ear headphones, square, black-rimmed glasses and a baseball tee with gray sleeves and a black front with white designs and illegible text obscured by their hand. The miniature of Lumièra depicts a Black woman in a dark suit with golden spirals radiating out from behind her. Connie stands in their home office, a nerdy and heavily decorated space with white LEDs and various fantasy posters and drapings.

PAX UNPLUGGED, I AM NO LONGER IN YOU! Between running Godkiller at the Winged Bull Tavern, paneling and facilitating with the Working Families Party, and chatting with folks across the con floor, I had an AMAZING time at my first #PaxU.

A Discord message against a dark purple to blue gradient background from Sea (they/them) that reads, “I’ve started crying while reading Connie’s opening every time I’ve looked at it, just so you know what you’re getting in to” and an emoji of a sobbing green frog. The message is sent at 1:51pm and the nameplate has a trans heart emoji. The avatar is of a tanned person with a shaved head and laurel tattoos on the sides, plus a dark lip ring and metal golden Greek style armored collar.

NOORDIN, IT IS SO INCHRESTING YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE HEY HEY HEY
The Fallen The Fallen was once divine, and a fragment of their lingering divinity makes them the Godkiller. A long time ago (or was it recently?), you were a god. Now, you inhabit fallible mortal flesh. A shard of your godhood remains within you, a mere echo of the power you used to command, and yet… being mortal might just show you a side of divinity you could never imagine otherwise. Choose your divinity: A holy weapon drenched in blood A shattered halo that can still command Broken wings with deadly, piercing feathers Something that contains a shard of your former glory

You’re getting served a meal or snack you haven’t had since you were a kid, and it tastes even better than you remember.

What’re you getting? I’ll go first:
Four tanghulu, candied hawthorns on wooden sticks, rest against a pale floral dish. There are six hawthorns per stick.

Get ready to meet the best/worst character of your life... Luna Mali S'Aghan Shadowpath Tino Edealzny Raaja Karasu.

It's happening.
My in-universe My Immortal parody.
Live reading.
Come join us.

[[ twitch.tv/transplanarRPG ]]
Chapter 1 Hi my name is Luna Mali S'Aghan Shadowpath Tino Edealzny Raaja Karasu and I have long black hair the color of a starless night (the same color as the Andakan sky when the gods vanished) with red, gold, and black streaks as though I was blesesd with Yuddhabathi's favor that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes the color of Nitbuzas frost. A lot of people tell me I look like Cain and Atalanta's secret love-child (may her memory be a blessing), but sadly, I'm not related to either of them... at least, that's what I think.
