...'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?)

And as they step out into the forests that Green calls his - not that he wouldn't call them all his to an extent, but details - he turns and gives a smile.

"Just through here."

further generic skittlenanigans

The differences between Nacio as he arrived in Misericordia and Indigo are subtle - unlike some cousins, he does know how to keep a low profile - but they're there for the discerning eye to pick up on. For one thing, he's more openly wearing his color of choice. It's perhaps most notable in his eyes, if anyone happens to remember they were brown when the embassy first arrived...

In any case, while he's easiest to find in the Magicians' and Academy Quarters, he can be found in most parts of the city at one time or another. He knows where he's most likely to find an apprentice, should one catch his interest - but there are cousins who still need brought back into things, and he's well suited to finding good vessels for two of them, being between their colors. There's no guarantee either of them would stay holed up in a library, either, so he has to broaden his search.

There's also the matter of the dragon, but he's far more likely to drop a brick on it and have done with it. Compared to reviving the family, that's something of a trifle. (Other differences between Nacio and Indigo: a certain level of academic detachment.)

The young man known to most as Kasimir has managed to establish a few habits since he first arrived in Misericordia, bare weeks ago, and he looks to have done well for himself. Rather than the somewhat wary looking youth who'd first arrived in the city, there's a quiet confidence to him, an optimistic look always on his face. The greys and blacks and browns he'd once preferred in his dress have been replaced by rich, unashamed greens.

For the most part, he can be found where the city's at its liveliest; Festival and Adventure quarters are his usual favourite haunts, where the air's filled with hopes and dreams and he dives in and out listening to the stories. ...Occasionally lending a hand if a fight goes too far in the latter, where the act won't blow his cover.
He can be seen all over, though, among mages and apprentices and traders, talking to anyone he can find with no sign of becoming disheartened by the search (how could he?); and when a change of pace is needed, he'll be in the Gardens, just quietly enjoying the feeling of the life around him there, sights and sounds and scents. Something a little more subdued and peaceful.

(...And those who know their way can find him in another garden altogether.)

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.

It was like coming home with a wheel of cheese and a loaf of bread and suddenly your entire cottage was on fire.

Or, rather, trying hard to murder you with far too many arrows and unfortunately succeeding.

As herself, Rose doesn't remember much between then and waking up again in her rose garden. As the hedgemage Thorn, a minor practitioner of her hue, who'd gone on the run when her rather more learned master had been slain under the suspicions that he was the Rose Illuminant--an irony, that--she remembers more and would quite like to ignore all of it, until the part when she stumbled upon a funny little boy with a dragon scale in place of his heart.

She has yet to dress completely in her hue, incorporating trim and embellishments of a rosier nature into the black mourning dress of her vessel. But there are streaks of pink in the vessel's dark hair and she moves with a certain grace that the woman, Thorn, never had.

She can be found all around Misericordia, drinking in the city, although if she lingers in the Veiled District... well, it is a place of sensation. And once in a while even love.
