[ on the 29th of july there's an odd sketchy figure on the roof of john and dave's place. there's some features filled in - the shades, anyway, and too-white hair just now, and defined hands. no mouth, but who needs those?OPEN: CHILLING
like he usually does, dave lounges on the roof and sort of sulks a little, uncertain of how much he wants to keep regaining his features at all. there's too many things looming after he regains the ability to speak and communicate again, although he thinks at this rate it's maybe coming.
so if for some reason you're around ruga rooftops on the 29th, maybe you can have a short game of charades. or a game of writing, since he does have a quill pen he's twirling idly. ]
[ otherwise you can catch dave in person all through the month. on the first through the third until we get missions he'll mostly be hanging out around his house or in the community garden. you can catch him:WILDCARD
a) in the library, perusing fairy tales and looking a little exhausted.
b) in the garden, growing things. if you've ever wanted to see dave do time bullshit, feel free to pop in. he's planting some new seeds collected from his friends, and the process is dig a little hole, put the seed in, cover it, and sit there with his hands over the hole as he works time magic to speed it up until a little sprout peeks through. rinse and repeat!
c) attempting to do some sewing mending on the front step of his and john's house in ruga. he just has a basket of scavenged clothes and linens and some thread and a needle and is carefully going to town.
d) loitering around dirk's place in ruga frowning but not really going inside...
e) walking around town with a bucket. inside the bucket is his lobster. they are going for a walk. hello! ]
[ if you'd just like to throw something at me, go for it! otherwise feel free to pm me or ping me on plurk for a specific prompt tailored for you if you'd prefer me to write you a starter. i'll respond to any starters left here, however! i will also be putting quests in here later in the month once we get them.
AS A NOTE: if your character thinks of dave as close cr, please fill out a lost memory here for my record-keeping purposes! as per death rules, all close cr loses one memory of dave at the time of his death. thank you! ]
chimera electric boogaloo
Which is exactly why she's at Dave's house once again... HEAD POKING INTO THE WINDOW ONCE MORE because what are doors, and what is knocking!]
Hey!
[if Dave isn't conveniently sitting in the living room, then Okuni will just repeat her "HEY'S" and "WHERE ARE YA'S" constantly until she gets some sort of response.... TRULY EFFICIENT]
no subject
dave leans over the edge of his roof. ]
Oh hey. Sup? Besides me, obviously.
no subject
ah, so he's all the way up there... with his mutant geese.... But yes good, he's HERE that means Okuni can ask a favor him super nicely. She leans away from the window so she can see him on the roof more clearly,]
You don't have anything to do right now, do you? I want to do one of those quests!
[there was a please somewhere in there....]
no subject
[ dave just
walks off the edge of the roof and floats down after letting himself fall a few feet. flying is handy... ]
Which one did you have in mind? I'm red, obviously.
no subject
You can fly? [she says, almost accusingly -- as if everyone in this town can fly EXCEPT FOR OKUNI!!!! She pushes her lip out like she's gonna sulk about it except]
Actually, that's useful! [perking up] Maybe it could make killing the chimera more fun. Can you make me fly too?
[can chimeras fly though? Okuni hasn't actually done her homework beyond scroll through the forum and read about quests, think about which one sounds most entertaining, and then think of someone she wouldn't mind holding hands with and who doesn't look incredibly scrawny..... so, dave]
I don't know what color I am yet, but I'm probably red.
[It's a wild guess, but look, she probably is. Red is her color!!]
no subject
[ basically: he can carry her, but he can't magically make her fly. ]
no subject
[maybe they'll have to do just that!!! It's fine, that also sounds Fun. Okuni looks at Dave Expectantly]
I can't fly like you can, but I know how to fight. And I don't know what a chimera is, but I've killed lots of things before. So you should do the quest with me.
[There is a please somewhere in there.]
no subject
[ like. he will just fly down to the ground? ]
I use a sword, but I only need the one hand for that. [ either hand. he prefers his left, but he's ambidextrous. ] What's your poison?
no subject
[She says all of that with confidence, so there’s that. As long as that sticky situation means sticky enough to kill either Okuni or Dave and not sticky enough to be funny.]
I don't have any powers like flying or healing or summoning fire, but I'm pretty confident I can be a good partner anyway.
no subject
he doesn't mention the shield thing but he 100% does not intend to use her as one. ]
Okay, then. Wanna walk there, or am I flyin' you?
no subject
Okuni looks very tempted at the offer, but then she shakes her head.]
We can walk. [what if flying tires him out!! Okuni makes no visible sign that she is concerned for him (because she's NOT, REALLY!!!), instead she sticks out her hand!!] And we can get used to holding hands in the meantime.
no subject
Sure. Pretty much the plan is we go into the woods and wander until something attacks, I figure. That's how we usually find monsters around here?
no subject
That's a terrible plan, but alright. [Said without any real criticism behind it. It's not like Okuni has any other ideas!!! AND SO, OFF THEY GO
Okuni will take this time to try and get used to Dave's pace. She's fought all her life with Baren by her side -- it's taking her a few shakes to get used to someone entirely different. It's not so bad though. She doesn't hate Dave -- and out of everyone she's met, he seems reliable enough to kill something with.]
Do you know what it's supposed to look like?
[quest preparation, what is that]
no subject
[ THIS IS SO LOOSE AS A PLAN...HE'S WALKING ANYWAY... ]
My sister usually does the planning, honestly.
no subject
She swivels her head around to look at Dave, blinking. Perhaps it's because she was thinking of Baren just a second ago, but the mention immediately makes her curious.]
Leaving all the thinking to her, huh? Sounds like what a brother would do.
[fondly dispenses shade no matter what,]
Is she older than you?
no subject
She was born on the 4th of December, I was born on the 3rd.
no subject
...Are you twins?
[i mean it should be obvious??? just by that??? but Okuni asks anyway because meeting other twins is still unfortunately quite rare, rare enough for her to show some almost uncharacteristic curiosity about the personal details of another person.]
Were you brought up together?
[twins who got to stay with each other, an even more rare occurrence.]
no subject
[ a shrug. ]
Feelings and everything else. Rose has always been the smart one.
no subject
What would she have done if she had to grow up separately from Baren? She can't even imagine it.]
I see. That doesn't surprise me -- sisters are usually smarter, no matter if they're younger or older. [But the smile on her face is for once genuine, and lacking of any punkshittery. She's happy to hear of Dave and Rose, they remind her of her own sibling.] That's how it is with my brother too.
no subject
feelings are gross and he has so many of them, his sister is awesome.
anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there is probably a chimeric ROAR nearby ]
no subject
She definitely perks up the roar, then she urges Dave on as she quickens her pace.]
There, that must be it! Let's hurry and do our best, so you don't embarrass her.
[A GOOD PEPTALK!!! Okuni is crashing headlong, but she will thankfully slow down once the chimera is really in sight, taking refuge behind a tree conveniently large enough to hide the both of them.]
Ehh... [It's definitely a mix of somethings... those somethings being a lion, a goat, and a drAGON's HEAD] It sure is ugly... I can distract two heads while you kill one, and then we'll go on from there!
[Rose judging Okuni for this plan from the void.]
no subject
DAVE DOESN'T EVEN ASK. he just peers around the tree at the thing, and there's a sword in his free hand now suddenly??? ]
no subject
Okuni's eyes flick to the SUDDEN SWORD in Dave's hand, but all that does is reassure Okuni that Dave has this well on hand, so now she's free to play her role. She shakes her kimono sleeve until a nice-sized rock comes tumbling out (don't ask why she had it in her sleeves in the first place) and catches it in her free hand,
then she hauls her arm back and swings it as hard as she can like a discus right at the GOAT'S RIGHT EYE, probably like blinding it permanently... gj okuni, then she's striding forward with her hand in Dave's, the other pulling out her iron fan from her obi]
Get the dragon!
[she'll get the lion!! leaVES THE MORE FEROCIOUS OF THE CREATURES TO DAVE IG]
no subject
he immediately goes in for decapitation?
that is his thing. it is what striders do.
there is probably gonna be bloodspray. ]
no subject
it's a good thing Okuni is used to bloodspray, so it doesn't distract her as she jams her fan into the lion head's mouth in an effort to prop it open so it can't bite down. it probably could if she'd stuck a stick in there, but the fan's iron so now the lion can't do anything but like roar helplessly with its MOUTH WIDE OPEN LIKE THAT
that gives her enough time to unsheathe her sword and stab the Goat in neck with it, hand still linked in Dave's. She knows she said she'll take on two, but she won't have any complaints if Dave wants to tackle the lion next while she's stabbing this goat to deATH]
