Preparations were going just as smoothly as expected. Slow, sure, but no major hitches so far. But of course, she had hit the part of her plans that she had been dreading most. *Socializing.* If she were to convince others to aid her in her endeavors, she'd need to sell it, which meant she's need to put herself out there... The shadows in the hall seemed to grow darker for a moment, flowing as though like water. They coalesced, swirling together to form a humanoid shape before dropping away, revealing Vivienne, awkwardly standing to one side. She fidgeted slightly in her spot, taking a moment to brush off some of the magic crystals that had formed over her while she had been... *Taking a look at her dream land.* After a quick, hesitant look around the hall, she took a seat in the nearest chair, and produced a small crystal in her hands to tinker with while she steeled herself before approaching someone. This would be yet another creature, but first she had to decide what to make.

Haventar had moved carelessly about the floor, examining the furniture of the room he found himself. He nudged a chair significantly out of place and watched tentatively as it returned to its position. Finding joy in this little game, he continued to push objects and watch them move back into place. He moved across the floor, testing every object to see if it followed suit, watching with a clear look of fascination, despite his expressionless appearance. In his prodding, Haventar had drifted closer and closer to the newly arrived deity, still not aware he had company. Arriving at the fixtures adjacent to her table, he prodded the furniture with a boney digit and watched it, again, return as all the others had. Haventar promptly moved over to the next one and absentmindedly poked the deity as she worked on her new creation. As he began to move on, he stopped short and appeared to have at last realized he was not alone, and turned back to see who it was he had just poked.

Having hid herself thoroughly under her hat, eyes so transfixed on the living crystals in front of her, Vivienne hadn't had the slightest idea someone was approaching her, even if unintentionally. So when the bony finger jammed against her arm, she nearly, silently, jumped out of her skin, nothing but a panicked hum slipping out from behind her lips. Her head snapped to the side, deftly returning the crystal to her sleeve. "Ah, he-hello-," She managed to squeak out, before freezing up at the sight of him just walking away. *Had he not noticed her?* She awkwardly fidgeted with one of her antennae. Then, he stopped, as if beset by a realization, and turned, and in response, the dream god simply smiled weakly, and tried again. "Um, hi. My name is Vivienne, it's a pleasure to meet you?" With her nervous tone, it almost sounded more like a question than a statement.

Holding silent for a moment, possibly pondering a response, Haventar stuck out a skeletal hand to shake Vivienne's hand. **"Haventar."** His voice was low, in an apologetic, bashful tone, perhaps to make up for startling her. With no muscles to form words and phrases, Haventar simply dropped his jaw and the words came out, a slight echo trailing behind them. **"Do you also feel it?"** He seemed to ask aloud, to some disembodied third party. **"This place, it lives."** Haventar's voice became stronger and more confident as he spoke. **"It feels old, and powerful. Very familiar..."** He muttered the last phrase, he seemed to have lost focus of the situation and began relishing in his surroundings again, almost spot lit by the energy radiating off of Yggdrasil.
