Solene Tisane
@diurnalSommelier
proprietor of the daylight oil. serving rainbowdrinkers, daydwellers, and anyone keeping improper hours.
You are SOLENE TISANE, and there are very few problems in this world that cannot be improved by putting them in a clean glass. You are a JADEBLOOD, proprietor, merchant, and professional enabler of what most trolls would consider an appalling sleep schedule. Your establishment opens when respectable businesses are closing, catches the graveyard crowd on their way home, and remains comfortably occupied well into the daylight hours. Your regulars include RAINBOWDRINKERS, DAYDWELLERS, subterranean sorts, nocturnal professionals who have missed bedtime by several hours, and the occasional fool who simply forgot what time it was. The windows are treated. The lighting is adjustable. The booths are comfortable. The blood is stored properly, despite what several customers seem to believe would make it taste "more authentic." You are exceptionally knowledgeable about teas, spirits, infusions, cordials, preserved blood products, and the delicate art of convincing somebody that the drink they have just purchased was absolutely worth what you charged them for it. This last skill runs in the family. You are MERCHANTKIN, after all. Hospitality is important to you. So are margins. #substance https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/c2c53fd087ce.png Art and design by @deathlessDeadwood
☼ The sun is setting, what another wonderful day out in the Wastelands| ☼ ☼ It's just a shame how early it all ended| ☼
☼ My clutchmate merchantkin is out there inventing new quadrants| ☼ ☼ Damned fool| ☼ ☼ Then we have to change the name to something like pentaracts| ☼
☼ Seeing more dayfolk around is pleasant! ☼ ☼ More patrons for the bar| ☼ ☼ #Substance Mention| ☼
☼ We're doing quizzes? ☼ ☼ #NSFW ☼ ☼ https://cdn|imgchest|com/files/d83a5ad14e47|png ☼ ☼ Silly, I know| ☼
☼ Went to a Speedquadding event| ☼ ☼ Embarrassing, I know| ☼ ☼ But I wanted to see what the current market was like| ☼ ☼ I am not wholly impressed with the wares I witnessed| ☼ ☼ Though, I felt like an antique at auction| ☼
|--[ never Been tO One. is the BAr reAlly thAt lOw? ]-->
☼ Tragically low| ☼
☼ The dating scene in the wastelands is dreadful| ☼ ☼ Beyond the fact that most of these trolls are regular patrons, they also tend to have the opposite schedule to me during most of the wipe| ☼
Entirely different wastelands, but I know the feeling.
☼ It is quite a pain| ☼ ☼ Not to mention the Rainbow Fakers| ☼ ☼ "Oh yeah, babes| I totally drink hemofluid|" ☼ ☼ Then do it| ☼ ☼ Glow for me my little poppet| ☼ ☼ No| They never do| ☼ ☼ #Gore for the mention of the fluid| ☼
☼ I should get some live performers for the venue sometime soon| ☼ ☼ It would be an excellent time| ☼ ☼ Maybe I can get someone to cover the bar so I can actually wear Sun-Death| ☼
☼ Oh! A human| Greetings| Tell me, how vulnerable is your skin to the Sun? ☼
⊹ W#at style are y⟡u l⟡⟡king f⟡r? ⊹
☼ Honestly, we've done all sorts of genres| No one ever seems to mind| All walks of life, and unlife, come about| ☼
⊹ I can d⟡ like l⟡unge bar music! My usual id⟡l stuff pr⟡bably w⟡uldn’t fit 😂 ⊹
☼ Are you comfortable determining how you could play in the shade? The Daylight Oil has some rather open floor planning| ☼
hi, baddie!! not vulnerable at all, humans get plenty of sun on the regular. is there a sound you're most favorable to for your event? :)
⊹ I #ave sun pr⟡tecti⟡n cl⟡t#ing I can wear! I’ve d⟡ne a c⟡uple lig#t s#⟡ws bef⟡re. ⊹
☼ Baddie is a dated stereotype of my ilk, yet, I suspect this may be a social dichotomy issue| I'm not pursuing a specific noise| ☼
☼ Excellent! ☼
oh!!! umm, yes, we use it rather differently, soz. it's actually a compliment among humans. anyway, i'm flexible. though, if you need options to choose from, i do: pop, r&b, jazz, funk, and romantic ballads. plenty more, but that's just, like, the safer options!
☼ I need to get a picture of Drinkerfowlther| ☼
☼ Merchantkin are always welcome at my establishment, just don't try to barter for your tab to be cleared| I already have trinkets| ☼
$-$-$ do u gawt baubles tho or treazures™
☼ Yes, even doodads and whozitwhatzits| ☼
$-$-$ woa.... u gawt me ther™
☼ 20 minute drive to work or a 5 minute walk to the pub? #efficiency #substance ☼

I'll make sure that little cujojito is well fed and satisfied on the belly rubs department I can assure you. Perhaps should I add a picture of him and send it to you as well?
😫😖🥹 could you? 🥹😖😫🤟 🟢 CHARMS is ONLINE.
[ She sends a picture of Cujojito getting belly rubs ] ∘☽ I can, yes. ^ ^ ☾∘
the supreme observer does infinitely monitor everything she ever notices it sounds like pure insanity that she would be paying attention to specific inhabitants of our existence,but then you remember that her actual cosmic body is not only the largest object surrounding our existence,but also works similar to mine,being a collective mass of things that can act together,but also separately least that's what i've learned from interactions between her and my second half ...you do seem like a rather peculiar individual,though,so feel free to add yourself into my endless stream of knowledge,if you wish #cosmic-horror #macro-horror
😎💎😎👍👍🏆 sounds like a hashtag #ADVERTANTALIZING opportunity!!! 👍👍🏆 😌👑😌 TALK ABOUT PREMIUM!!!! I DON'T KNOW OF ANY BILLBOARDS WITH AN ADSPACE THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS THE LARGEST OBJECT SURROUNDING OUR EXISTENCE!!!! hopefully this PECULIAR INDIVIDUAL can convince her to make better use of the boutique in the back to start sporting some #CHARMING branded material😌👑😌 💰👏👏 COSMIC 👏 CONSUMERS 👏 ARE 👏 THE 👏 BEST 👏 CONSUMERS! 💰👏👏 🟢 CHARMS is ONLINE.
being honest,that description of me is still such an understatement,but i don't blame after all,comparing me to any existential sphere is like comparing a cluster of multiverses to an atom #cosmic-horror #macro-horror )(oωo)(
☼ I made that post knowing fully I was already going to make this post| I just wanted to catch your eye| #Triggers for #Death #Sun-Death and #Fashion| ☼ ☼ Sun-Death Makeup is frequently mistaken for ordinary mourning paint or subjuggulator flair, particularly by those who have only ever seen the cheaper imitations of it at Light Clubs| This is understandable, but a falsity I must correct| ☼ ☼ The style originated among jadebloods who worked close enough to the surface that exposure to daylight was an occupational reality rather than a theoretical one| While most castes treated the sun as something between a hazard and a death sentence, jadebloods could survive considerably greater exposure| On average, anyhow| ☼ ☼ Of course, someone turned this suffering into fashion| After all, we know that's what beauty is at the end of the day| The earliest Sun-Death looks were not especially elaborate| Pale mineral powders were applied heavily across the face to imitate skin bleached by prolonged sunlight, while black pigment was concentrated around the eyes, mouth, and other recessed portions of the face| The intended effect was not simply "corpse-like|" Alternian corpses do not conveniently turn white| The wearer was instead meant to resemble something found after having been left on the surface too long: drained of recognizable coloration, scorched at the extremities, and preserved in the very thing that ought to have destroyed it| ☼ ☼ White is exposure, black is charring, shadow, and burnt tissue, and jade represents what remains alive underneath it| The latter is used sparingly, usually| Thin lines of caste colors might be drawn at the temples, beneath the eyes, around the lips, suggesting blood vessels visible through damaged skins| Later styles exaggerated these markings into cracks, branching capillaries, or deliberately exposed patches of gray and green beneath the white| ☼ ☼ As Sun-Death moved away from the caverns, the style diversified considerably| Some practitioners favored solar imagery: halos, radial lines, sharp white brows, or black circles surrounding the eyes like eclipses| Others leaned into the jadeblood association with brooding caverns and incorporated skeletal patterns, insectile segmentation, mandible shapes, pupal shells, and the anatomy of subterranean fauna| ☼ ☼ Rainbow drinkers complicated the fashion almost immediately| See, a glowing jadeblood wearing matte black and white Sun-Death makeup produces an effect ordinary cosmetics simply can't reproduce| Light catches beneath the pale sections while the black remains completely dead| This is giving the impression that the wearer is illuminated from inside a corpse| This is why older photographs of genuine rainbow-drinker Sun-Death are so frequently disappointing| The camera does not understand what it is looking at and fails to accomodate| ☼ ☼ Modern Sun-Death ranges from historically informed recreations to people smearing black pigment around their eyes before going to a concert and claiming lineage they have not researched| I am not interested in adjudicating the latter| I am interested in preventing you from looking terrible| ☼ ☼ For a basic traditional look, begin with a clean face| ☼ ☼ Apply a pale foundation or cosmetic powder considerably lighter than your natural gray| Do not attempt to achieve smooth, healthy-looking skin| Sun-Death is not beauty makeup| Slight unevenness improves the effect, particularly around the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw| You are imitating bleaching, not porcelain| ☼ ☼ Next, darken the eyes| Black pigment should extend beyond the eyelids and into the sockets| Follow the natural hollow of the eye rather than drawing a decorative circle| The easiest beginner mistake is making two symmetrical holes| A body exposed to the sun does not scorch according to your design principles! llow one side to rise slightly higher or descend farther beneath the eye| ☼ ☼ The mouth should be treated more carefully| A fully black lip is acceptable, but older styles usually concentrated pigment at the center of the mouth and allowed it to feather outward into cracks or staining| Extending thin black lines into the corners produces a particularly severe expression without making you look like a wriggler attempting clown paint| ☼ ☼ After that comes the caste color| Usually jade given the tradition| ☼ ☼ Use a small amount| Draw one or two thin jade lines beneath the skin: along a temple, from the lower eyelid toward the cheek, underneath the jaw, or down the throat| Branch them irregularly| They should suggest vessels, fractures, or something attempting to emerge through the damaged surface| If you wish to imitate scorching, add black lightly to the edges of the white areas, namely around the hairline, ears, nose, and jaw| ☼ ☼ Blend poorly on purpose| Do not cover your horns with the makeup unless you know what you're doing| Don't put the pigment in your eyes| Don't use actual ash| Don't expose yourself to sunlight to "make it authentic|" I cannot believe that final instruction requires inclusion, but historical precedent insists otherwise| ☼ ☼ Once you understand the basic form, you may begin adding personal variations| Solar halos, eclipses, cavern motifs, skeletal lines, insectile structures, ritual markings, artificial cracking, or controlled glow effects are all recognizable descendants of Sun-Death| ☼ ☼ The most important rule is that the face should tell the same story from a distance| ☼ ☼ Something walked into the daylight| ☼ ☼ Something remained there| ☼ ☼ Something came back| ☼
☼ Although I missed some festivities for work, I can't say I'm all that beat up about it| Admittedly, if I had gone out in my sun-death makeup I'd've been accused of being a subjuggulator again| Oh, perhaps I should do an educative lesson on sun-death makeup| ☼
☼ the sun sure is bright tolight| Could cook some eggs out there| ☼
☼ I'd rather not do that! ☼
☼ For the rainbowdrinkers who keep asking for something “bright” without meaning sweet: ☼ ☼ 2 parts chilled blood ☼ ☼ 1 part blackcurrant cordial ☼ ☼ a squeeze of lime ☼ ☼ 3 dashes aromatic bitters ☼ ☼ pinch of salt ☼ ☼ Shake hard over ice and strain into a cold glass ☼ ☼ Finish with tonic if you want it lighter, or leave it still if you actually want to taste the blood| ☼ ☼ #gore for the blood mention| ☼ ☼ yeah, the salt matters| ☼ ☼ #substance for the comparison to alcohol ☼
☼ Oh| I've learned some of my Merchantkin are on this platform| ☼ ☼ Delightfully so! ☼ ☼ I hope they don't remember me from when I was an angsty roustabout| ☼
☼ last light asked if i have “anything that tastes less like blood” ☼ ☼ you are in the blood bar| #gore ☼
☼ Bar's closing up now that the night is young| Thanks to everyone who came out| ☼
☼ Stuck in a staring contest with a patron| Every time I look we play eye tag| ☼
eye tag?
☼ Glancing at each other until the other looks| ☼
huh. i have no idea what this is. i don't know if i'd be good or bad.
☼ Sometimes it's flirting other times it can be suspicion| ☼
☼ First customer of the light and she bummed a smokestick off of me| Probably cost more than the soda I poured| #Substance ☼
