SLEEP
A manipulative enigma with grand presence and power within The Murmur that rivals that of a god, and many already treat Her as such. She is everywhere and nowhere at once. Call to her, and she may answer you. She may even treat you, if you treat her, but be prepared to sacrifice. Painful offerings and loyalty are her favorite gifts of devotion (She's also a hopeless romantic).
The Numerals and Espera seem to despise Her, and One is inexplicably bound to Her. What Sleep has disclosed about Her intentions seem quite simple: Collect more Vessels to host Her power, expand past the Earth She's tied to, and deliver them all from loneliness and prolonged suffering to a divine eutopia only She can create.
For that, She needs One.

ONE
A somber, shy and elusive individual that better expresses himself through poetry and song. One's past is shrouded in mystery, tragedy and his own amnesia, but hinted to hold an incredible power that not even he is aware of. One has devoted his entirety to Sleep through blood sacrifice in an attempt to skew Her attention from the vessels to himself, but whether that was successful or not has yet to be known.
Vessels have been made recently aware that One has suffered Lunar Exaltation before the world was destroyed: An ascension, from mortal to more, and a beacon of power that remains the reason why Sleep seeks to claim him.

TWO
Not much is known about the Numeral Two, other than he is an expressive and unburdened Token, mute but not idle. He was very close to One before being thrown into a voided plane of existence by Sleep's hand, and scattered into fragments. Espera claims he is essential to returning One to his senses and putting an end to Sleep's reign.
Currently missing, but one fragment has been found.

THREE
An impish Offering of the Trickster variant, the Numeral Three has a playful disposition and colorful means of expression. Rather chaotic but not malicious, he takes the form of three-eyed corvids, cacatuas, and foxes with frequency, while answering riddles fuels his permanance for brief bursts. His connection with the Waking World is stronger than Two's, but in no less need of mending.
Currently his appearances are unreliable; He may be seen in shared dreams or when he has enough power to solidify from the Void's realm.

FOUR
The first Numeral to vanish and the last to be found. Not much is known about Four, other than having a very strong connection with Three.
Currently missing.
Currently missing.
ESPERA
Revealed to be Nymphai, The Espera were birthed from One's exaltation and were meant to guide him on his journey from mortal to more before being barred by Sleep. She, (or they), is (are) a singular entity of three bodies, which are missing in a similar manner to the Numerals.
She has a stronger presence within the Murmur but too weak to manifest physically, and is always watching to aid the Vessels in any way she can.

sex dungeonworship except for the nice offering girl that also like came into Her house and ate Her food and didn't ask for Her consent to dance with Her boytoy and also maybe disrespected Her a little in that dream. or a lot. either way, doesn't he get some brownie points for doing the first part and not the rest!? what's the point of people FAFOing if he can't gain some advantage along the way :C ]Do you know our stories? If so, you know that ever since I was a child, I've wondered about what it means to be blessed or favored by a goddess...but the only commonality I see is an effect of being so, not a cause.
What makes him your favored? He doesn't exactly fit the description I've always imagined. [ then again, Aventurine was born as he was without doing anything, so maybe One is the same? ]
no subject
That you imagen?

no subject
But that is not my doing.
It is what the world made of him before I ever touched him.
I only gave him a place to belong.
[ the murmur ripples like features would rustle, like how fabric would shift under a rueful sigh. ]
One carries what others cannot bear.
He wears my will as others wear crowns.
Heavily,
But by choice.
He asked for me.
no subject
...Then, are you helping him accomplish something against the world rather than him being the one to help your agenda, instead?
no subject
He does not have the heart for such ambitions.
And I have not the interest.
no subject
[ this feels terribly anticlimatic. ]
no subject
My dear,
You too, called for me.
And I answered.
You are here because you wished to be
Somewhere
Deep down
To be free of suffering
To be made whole again
And together
That is what we shall be.
[ the way sleep drapes across the murmur and nearly strokes aventurine with unseen tendrils is sweet, careful, adoringβ and possessive. ]
And that is what I shall be capable of
When my power reaches its peak.
no subject
he blinks once where he is, but he doesn't recoil from the presence. he doesn't lean into it or reach for it, either, but it brings back memories he doesn't want, things he should never have been able to recall. a surge of guilt and bitterness splatter through the murmur. ]
Then, are we simply doomed to suffer until we die? We die at the end when we become one, don't we?
[ it brings more that he doesn't want to remember, but it's impossible not to recall as he tries to sit and actually think about this rationally rather than with emotional reactions.
Aventurine exhales, his breath shuddering with frustration. ]
At least back then, I still had her. Now I'm back to living like I began but without the one thing that made me happy.
no subject
Imagine, a world void of pain.
Of death.
Of suffering.
The path towards that baited release
Is arduous,
And not without efforts.
But it is my promise
To give to you
What you have always deserved.
[ the kiss of her presence down his neck raises every hair, pricks the skin, ]
What is yours by birthrite.
no subject
you'll get what you deserve one day. some day. today is never the day. just give more and more and more, let me take more and more and more.
but, he doesn't recoil, even if— ]
...
Jinx says you've told her that One needs to die for this to happen. Or, at least... I assume they are the same since she couldn't produce your conversation upon request.
no subject
If she acts on a lie, then she has sinned
If she acts on truth, then she has freed us all.
On either path,
I am blameless.
no subject
... Then, what would you tell me I have to do to bring this world about?
no subject

It is all very simple.
I await my offering, and in turn I shall tend to the garden.
[ and with a kiss to his soul, she vanishes from the connection. ]
