One might ask why I prefer the mundane methods of kintsugi. Using my magic, it would be very easy to repair all of these in an instant, but the process is a key element of the experience, as I see it. Gathering the pieces, seeing how they fit together, carefully reconstructing the form with care... these are all needed to truly feel the essence of kintsugi.

— Mu, Edeia of Kintsugi  

Many Edeia once lived simpler, more mundane lives, and many of them may continue to engage the simple activities that led them on their path to become an Edeia, or find new simple activities that they enjoy. What "simple" activities do your Edeia indulge in, and what forms do they take? 

Examples may involve food, arts and crafts, volunteering work, hobbies they are trying out, and more. As a heuristic, you can think of activities generally accessible to normal people or other mortal beings in the world; these are usually mundane activities but they can also involve magic to some extent. 

Design Prompt:
If your Edeia takes a different form while engaging in some "simple" activity, you may design it here. This can be a humanoid form, alternate form, animal form, human "disguise", or some other form. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork depicting your Edeia engaging in some "simple" activity.  

Writing Prompt:
Write about your Edeia engaging in one or more "simple" activities. You can also touch on the before and after, their motives and thought process, etc. 

Edeia are often more than the concept they embody - they are individuals with their own personality and desires. What does a casual day in your Edeia's life look like? Do they simply brood and watch others in the shadows or do they mingle with mundane society in the city? Depict your Edeia having a casual day in the modern age of Ideation, slight emphasis on the urban fantasy. 

Design Prompt:
When mingling with mundane society, does your Edeia take on a different form - perhaps a humanoid/hybrid form, an alternate form, or a human disguise? Do they enjoy wearing clothes, whether shapeshifted or acquired? Do they take some other appearance when having a casual day? Design a look your Edeia may have on such a day in the modern age of Ideation. 

• Please provide a little blurb/explanation about what situation this look would be used in. 

Art Prompt:
Create artwork illustrating your Edeia having a casual day in the modern age of Ideation, slight emphasis on the urban fantasy. Perhaps they take strolls in streets and parks; perhaps they go to cafes and restaurants; perhaps they play in arcades and engage in other forms of entertainment; perhaps they volunteer as a counselor or teacher of some sort; perhaps they run some kind of event for the public. Perhaps they go incognito, blending in with society and acting just as a human would. 

Writing Prompt:
Write a scene illustrating your Edeia having a casual day in the modern age of Ideation, slight emphasis on the urban fantasy. See art prompt for potential ideas.   

The bite of the cold fades away, making way for a warmer season.
