Hey there!

Another Tae short here, wanted to do something silly and not requiring that much thought... still took me a bit. Anyway in this one we get a look at Tae's home and what she does when she isn't poking stuff.

Enjoy!

_______________________________________

Beautiful and ethereal, the sky above the goddess’s home would be captivating to any mortal to gaze upon it. Crystal blue with a shimmering purple haze dancing among it, a hint at the barrier that kept any unwanted guests out. Taelia’s home was safe and a sight on it’s own to behold, it was as if a desert suddenly sprung up a forest of trees. A body of water rested near the south-western, close to the barrier as one of the few things that were contained in it.

The last part was the home of the goddess herself, a building that was made of a few parts. The first part looked like a two floor stone building, very simple in it’s design with a few windows and a door. An enclosed area jotting out from the top floor, like a room was almost ejecting from the building. On the other side a hallway connected the main part to a more cylinder like structure that floated off the ground, levelled with the second floor. Another part came out on the other end and ended on the sand and above the house was a floating rock, with runes carved into it something Taelia could never figure out, figuring it might have something to do with the barrier. She never thought on it for long though,

The inside of the building was… a mess to say the least. Scattered all around were things junk that caught her attention. Mixed in with the junk was the few bits of furniture that she used when she wasn’t running about. Something that resembled a kitchen laid on the first floor, with food scattered around, it would make some wonder if Taelia should have been a Goddess of Messes instead. On the second floor one would find a single room, much like the first floor only difference, this was the goddess’s bedroom when ever she slept here. And it too was a mess, with piles here and there but this time there was mixture of some clothing, including some of the red almost ribbon like one she wore a lot. Her bed was surprisingly well made and would look cosy to any mortal to ever look at it. But that was only the main building.

The hallway connected to the bedroom level was lined with sticks, poles and other things that were stick like. The Hall of Sticks people would call it, where Taelia put what ever stick and stick like object she’s found on her journey and ended up liking. It looked like it couldn’t fit as much as it could, but it did and Taelia was happy about it.

At the other end of the Hall of Sticks was a door into the second part of her home. The room was hard to explain, seemingly like it was a multiple of things. A storage, a lab, as well as other things mixed in, with a large collection of stuff from different universes. Highly advance technology to lower end stuff, mystic things covered in runes or brimming with arcane energy to even simple things like a blender from one of the universes she has visited.

But at the moment the goddess in question sat at a table, one of a few littered the place as she stared at the object in front of her. Her green eyes focusing in on the multi-coloured cube as she picked it up turning it over in her hands, seeing the smaller cubes that made up this one. Taelia was told this was a puzzle of some kind and the solve it you needed to get all sides the same colour. The mortal that gave it to her as an offering said it can be quite difficult to solve, but a great way to spend time and to keep you occupied.

She twisted the top watching as it rotated until the mixed colours on the other side were now facing her. With a grin she started to fiddle with it, twisting and turning all the different segments of it as her light blue claws tapped against the floor. Her tail, both her normal and hair ones, swayed as she was getting more into trying to solve this thing. It was actually fun! Even though she could see the patterns and how she could of solved it within a few turns, but her more intelligent side was overran by her curiosity as it nearly always was. Taelia wanted to see just what this thing was fully capable of so she continue to toil away on the small puzzle cube.

A few minutes passed as she paused and glanced at what she manage to do so far. Two rows lined up, the top one on the side facing her and the middle row on the left of it. No other sides seem to be close to matching up as she went back to fiddling, tongue poking out into what some mortals may call a ‘Blep’. A few more twists saw what she had manage to do break as Taelia looked at the puzzle with a tilt of her head. One of the goddess’s large ears twitched before she went back into trying to solve it.

But as all things eventually did Taelia started to lose interest, her short attention span striking once again. With one side almost done she placed the cube down and begun to look around, grinning again before she got up and moved away from the table pulling down something form the wall as she started to fiddle with a device she found. But she’ll be back to the puzzle cube, she always did when she remembered she had it.

But that what you expect from Taelia, Goddess of Curiosity and Optimism or the Stuffpoker as some have come to call her. If the cube could survive as the device she currently played with started to emit a high pitched whine.
