[Open]

Who: Minato, youuu and also questfriends eventually, probably
Where: Around Town, Near The Woods
When: Nebulous November Time
What: In which Minato's depressed Aigis is gone, distractions are attempted to be found, and he's way too close to the woods (also, quests)
Warnings: None atm!



A - distractions will surely help;

[It never really gets easier when people go home, but Aigis... Aigis was special. There was so much left unsaid, so much that he should have told her before she left, and now the thought that he's lost his chance to do so forever is... honestly really hard to swallow.

It's impossible not to notice that she's gone. Her room (and Levy's, too...) is empty, and while he's grateful for Valvatorez still being there so that he's not entirely left alone again, it's still far too quiet.

So he tries to keep himself busy. It'll be pretty easy to find him, considering he's out wandering pretty exclusively; he doesn't want to go back to the empty house, so he can be found fishing at the dock, head bowed, or listlessly walking through the town, hands shoved into his pockets and headphones on, or picking up skeleton bones to pile them up with a distant frown on his face.

Boy he looks like he's having such a great time.]


B - distractions, take two;

[Eventually, he tries something different when that's not working; he gathers what he has for ingredients, and he bakes. He's gotten much better at baking in this place after the past six or seven odd months here, because it's not like there's much more to do. They're nothing special, since he can only work with what he's got, but there's plenty of honey and some chocolate from his color rewards previously and since pie crusts have color restored...!!

... Well, flour isn't restored yet, but presumably mixing colorless flour and eggs with color to make pie crust and only pie crust makes it suddenly have color...? That's bizarre but Minato's getting pretty used to the town's weird rules, it's fine.

So! Apple pie and chocolate pie it is, sweetened with honey, complete with purple milk for the chocolate pie (does that make the chocolate pie purple-brown...?), and they turn out...pretty okay! However, it's infinitely more pie than he is willing to personally eat, so.

Knock knock, there's Minato at your door with a slice of pie.]


...Do you want this?

[Please take it.]

C - this is the bad option;

[Minato knows better, he really does. But...

It doesn't stop him from standing right at the edge of the woods, close enough to be beneath the shaded boughs, peering into the trees. It's cold, so he's got his hoodie on, hands tucked deeply into the pocket, scarf wrapped tightly around his neck...

But he's looking a bit too intently out there, fingers idly toying with the charm Guren gave him in his pocket, looking perhaps a bit too deeply in thought.

Watch him long enough without interrupting, and he might even take a step deeper into the woods.

(He knows he shouldn't, he really does, but... but what if they're all out there?)]


D - wildcard/quests

[Hit me at [plurk.com profile] kalisona or via PM if you'd like a personalized prompt or to plot! I'll probably toss quests in here too when they're released.]

That sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm fascinated by technology, and what the future holds for it, but my realm has never been interested in the same way. I would love to hear about a place where it was allowed to thrive.

[ she can understand why he would miss it, because she thinks she would too if she ever experienced it. but this is the only life she's ever known, and so fitting into chroma isn't all that different. ]

No. People are very old fashioned, and rather paranoid of technology. [ said with a sigh at the end, flippant and exhausted at the thought. ] We only have two real scientists in the whole country. They're brilliant, but live in seclusion because of how people are.
