Ilphyl Palace Run

[spacetogrow]

Content Warning

Parts of Ilphyl’s past deal with religiously motivated child abuse, sexism (albeit fantasy sexism as it is against male drow), transphobia and fantasy racism. If you want to engage with Ilphyl’s Palace, but not this content, let me know and I can make sure you stay on an alternate route. I’ll also put warnings on particular rooms if it seems likely to come up, and use the subject lines of threads to add in warnings if it comes up unexpectedly.

Goal
Find and return Ilphyl's consciousness to prominence. You know it will take the form of a small bat, but aren't sure how you know this.

Technically this was on the surface, just hidden. But I did spend more time with non-elves.

That was something you couldn't do before?

I did it before, just...

[awkward]

I was living with my teacher. She's a gnome -- you saw her in the memory. I could barely fit through doors.

[Ilphyl is about a foot taller than a gnome]

I wanted a place where I'd just... fit.

Does that mean you feel more comfortable in the prison?

[another startled laugh]

In as much as I feel like everyone is out of place, so I'm not more out of place than others. But I also don't like being trapped; if I stay in one place, it's because I choose to be.

Re: Courtyard (4:00)

That I can relate to. I always feel... restless in that place. Like I could be doing something more. Like I should be doing something more.

Re: Courtyard (4:00)

[spacetogrow]

Not even more, but different.

Re: Courtyard (4:00)

[terribletwos]

Different?

Re: Courtyard (4:00)

[spacetogrow]

I want to see different things. Not just the same place every day.

Re: Courtyard (4:00)

[terribletwos]

I think I know that feeling...

Re: Courtyard (4:00)

It's pretty common, then.
