...'nuff said.

No, seriously, this is just a 'what if' post for characters who weren't in line for Illuminant shenanigans in Syn canon for whatever reason (wrong side of Jaunt, other plot issues, just didn't feel like it, anything else) to get pulled in and have some multicoloured fun.
This is not intended to impose on/upstage the game canon events, just having some good clean skittlenanigans!

Make things up, go wild! There's a rough 'everyone got wiped/re-sourced at the end of Cursed Kingdom' assumption here but apart from that, everything's open to mess with~

(You put that many superpowerful fae magical incarnations in one spot, looks like timelines get a bit wonky now and then?)

Naoto - Violet

[shiroganeheir]

The problem with being a detective is the compulsion to look around for everything. And sometime when you're Naoto Shirogane, it leads to things that probably are the worse for your continued sanity. In an exploration of some hidden chambers, Naoto came across a mirror. And when he left the chamber, he was walking a bit taller, wearing Naoto's guy form, an illusion turning the ever-familiar blue hat a bright violet.

A few days later, there's a strange new figure in town. Some say he's a prince, some say he's a scholar, some say they don't know, but he's the life of the party. What everyone does know about this person still calling themselves Naoto is that they have to be some kind of displaced royal. Now bedecked in almost entirely purple still with the ever-present hat and a cape that he seems to use to great effect, he's on the move, looking for people, and enjoying himself immensely.

Fancy parties like this one definitely made sense as far as Green was concerned as a possible place to look for candidates to join their number. (Not that many more were needed, by now.) Somewhere to show off, create an image... it fit, as far as his understanding of things that little further away from his own regions of the spectrum went. More than that, the stories about this new scholar-prince's arrival have his attention. Someone worth talking to, that's for sure...

It only becomes clear as he sees Naoto in the crowds that there's no need for persuasion any longer. How this has happened? He can't be sure. Surprises aren't so much his field. But it's a wonderful sign in any case...

"You always knew how t' make an entrance, huh?" he asks, as the ebbs and flows of the event leave them in position to speak with each other.

[shiroganeheir]

There's a huge grin-smirk on Violet's face as he nods at Green, because who else would have that particular fashion sense. "Of course I do. It is part of my mystery."

He glances around, however, the cockiness abates slightly, and he leans against the wall. "So, how many of our number have returned? What's the situation?" He has a trump card that he's just dying to let out, but he'll wait for now.

[creativefool]

That's it. He's definitely back.
The grin's just about infectious, but his own reply's a little bit quietened down for the moment. "Five that I knew about until you showed up, including myself: Orange got lucky - man, you really should see him now - and picked the first few of us up again. Myself 'n Indigo came back together, Yellow didn't wait too long either. All thanks to those Dolorosan dragon-hunters, of all people..." He shrugs. "Even Rose's been through changes, but she's fine from what I've heard. Got someone else we're lookin' to have a word with for Red's sake, but ain't found anyone for sure who's gonna work with Blue."

Ah, well. It's a temporary setback, he knows that much. "Mostly, we're just keepin' our ears open. Working things out as we're goin' along."

[shiroganeheir]

"Excellent. I will have to see them all soon. We will need to have a meeting to work things out." He thinks for a moment, rubbing his chin, a strange, but comfortable gesture.

"They are back as well. This vessel is one of theirs." His voice is quiet too. "This one has been keeping notes that I am attempting to decipher."

[creativefool]

...Green's stuck speechless for a moment as he looks Violet over.

"We'd heard of some suspicious types wanderin' around, but if you're saying they're those..."

He runs a hand down his face. Ugh, for once he really wishes that Violet's making things up. "We've barely had a couple of weeks! And they came for us now?" Sigh. "Still. If you're here, they've stabbed themselves in the back," he says, with an amusement that's shading a little warm - "They shoulda thought interferin' through better. And you say you've got notes?"

[leftbehindagain]

Well now. That's a surprise, but a pleasant one, and so he can't quite contain a smile. "Faster than I expected, cousin."

Still, one less vessel to find is good news.

[shiroganeheir]

"This vessel is curious which suits me just fine." He smirks, tipping his hat with practiced ease. Indigo is one of few of his cousins who will always get his respect as a fellow mind.

"It is good to see you again. I have seen Green already, and he has told me some of what is going on."

[leftbehindagain]

Violet knows his thoughts on unwilling vessels; restating them now won't do much good. Besides, it's good to have more of this end of the spectrum back. They always did understand one another better than most.

"In that case, you're fairly well caught up, I should say. Nice hat."

"You look young, cousin."

The woman in rose-trimmed mourning clothes, with rose streaks in her black hair, smiles at Violet as she makes her way toward him. She reaches up to caress his cheek lightly. "It's a good look for you."
