[December Catch-All] [Wildcard Prompt OTA]
Who: Pyra, some closed thread, and one open thread!
Where: Errwhere
When: December
What: quests and shizz
Warnings: nada
Closed to Akira
[ It makes for an easy trek through the snow when not one but two people are like living furnaces. Pyra is, and always will be, never appropriately dressed for the weather, with the only addition to her typical outfit a long scarf she has wrapped about her neck. She doesn't need it, of course, but it was too fluffy not to wear.
Talk about your strengths with a red, the message had said. Were it only so simple. ]
I've been thinking. [ She tells him as they walk, hands linked behind her back. ] About what to wish for. And I can't seem to narrow it down to just one. [ She smiles a bit playfully. ] Think I can wish for more wishes?
[ That's probably not how it goes, and she knows it (not that she actually believes that any of these wishes will come true). Still, it makes for an interesting conversation piece. ]
Closed to Tsumugi
[ Ask a blue for help with something.
Oh, and does she ever need help with something. Caroling. That is, singing. It is a quest, and it is something that needs to be done. Only, Pyra is not some sort of songstress, and if she does indeed have any memories of holiday carols from a time long past, that information is wholly blocked to her. So what else can she do but turn to another for a bit of help. ]
Here you go, Tsumugi... [ She says to him courteously, setting down a cup of tea down in front of him. Pyra had invited him to the home in Bluo to which she had been assigned, and even if their first meeting hadn't gone as smoothly as one might have hoped, she appreciates him being here nonetheless. ] So. What's the first thing one should know when singing?
Closed to Link
[ As luck would have it, the message of Have a good time with a yellow that had appeared on her computer might not be all that difficult to fulfill. All it takes is her walking into the Flavo district and finding a Yellow and asking them for a bit of their time.
For singing, that is.
And so they are currently outside, with Pyra having built a fire to keep the both of them warm as they practice. Or rather, for him to keep warm since she's perfectly fine dressed as she is, despite all appearances. ]
...Think we should try harmonizing on that last part?
Wildcard, Open to All

Sounds like a way to get the quest to backfire on you for sure. [He huffs out a laugh.] Maybe decide what's most important to you, and wish based on that.
no subject
But that just makes it more complicated. The most important to me here, or in the world I come from?
no subject
[Though now that he thinks about it... The quest listing didn't offer any specifics, did it?]
no subject
And actually a lot less depressing, because she only has one wish were she back in her home world. ] Maybe I should wish for something to help the town? Like a... ramen shop.
no subject
[He's being purposefully quiet about ideas for his wish, but there's a smile on his face as they go deeper into the forest.]
Someone would have to run it, though. Think you'd be up to it?
no subject
[ How does she know that. She doesn't even know how she knows that. But somehow she does. ] But it'd be a lot of work for just one person, wouldn't it?
[ ... ] Maybe I can wish for a fully automated ramen shop, and just staff the bar myself. [ Because all good ramen places come with a bar. ]
no subject
[It's a nice idea, though, and he can't help but approve of thinking with one's stomach.]
How about I help out? I'm not an amazing cook, but maybe I can learn. [The family who took him in run their own cafe, but he'd never been asked to put in hours there. Now seems like as good a time to pick up useful skills as any.]
1/2
[ She looks at him, a hand going over her chest. The glow of the crystal there is obscured beneath her fingers, but there's a new light in her eyes. ]
Oh, Akira, that... I wouldn't mind that.
[ Mythra is a terrible cook. No one would ever even allow her to cook, because any dish of hers would be a one-way ticket to hell on earth, specifically the bathroom. Which means that-- ]
no subject
[ Oh my. She's just blushing at the thought! ]
no subject
It's not that big a deal, is it? Even if you don't get your shop, we can still try making something together.
no subject
[ Get a grip on yourself, Pyra. She pulls up her scarf a little, as if she could hide her cheeks. ]
no subject
Listen... If it's important to you, it's important to me. That's why I'm here to help.
1/2
[ Hgggggrrr. It's not a big deal, but now it's important? AKIRA, WHY ARE YOU CONFUSING HER. ]
no subject
[ YEP. Out of all the things to wish for. Not "how to get home", not even "keep this world safe", or even the unspeakable, sorrowful true wish within her heart...
She's allowed to be a little selfish here, isn't she? It's not as if it will come true, anyways. ] A ramen shop. [ Her look is nothing but determined. ]
no subject
Do you see any bells yet? We have to be close.
no subject
Oh--
Perhaps... [ There are footprints in the snow, as if others had come before. It makes sense, since this quest is something that is open to all. They must be getting close. ] This way.
[ She'll walk ahead of him, a bit more eager than before, and not soon after they'll come upon a clearing. A tall, emerald pine stands alone, and from one of its snow-covered branches a single, silver bell hangs, fasted above by a ribbon. ] There it is!
[ She smiles at him before making her way towards it. ]
no subject
He stops and looks back at Pyra.]
Go ahead and ring it.
no subject
But hey, she broke her mirror along someone else's knowing that it was probably a bad idea, too. And just like the consequences of breaking those mirrors, she's sure that if the two of them make a wish here, they'll be able to work their way through it. ]
Alright...
[ She approaches the bell, grasping at the ribbon just above it. ] I wish.... [ Pyra closes her eyes, her voice just above a whisper.
It seems so silly to be doing this, ringing a bell and making a wish. She doesn't think that there's anything else to this quest or that the wish might come true, but... if she is to be completely honest, it's actually rather nice to make a wish once in a while. To have a hope. A selfish one like hers, at that, against all odds and against what she knows what she should be wishing for.
So instead of wishing for a way to end her existence, a way to remain sealed, a way to ensure that no one may use her ever again... ]
I wish for a ramen shop. [ And she can almost picture it: a cozy little establishment, a humble kitchen, a bar. And within it's stocked with an assortment of saké and beer-- the kind that the golden country had before it was destroyed in the war, and the soup itself is aromatic and rich, just as she remembers it being prepared in the capital before it fell with the sinking titan. She can practically smell, taste the variety of rich broths just waiting to be poured over freshly cut noodles, meets, and vegetables.
Ah. Maybe that's the point of this quest. To just imagine something to have like that. It's more than just having a ramen, it's about her wanting to share her talent for cooking with others.
She rings the bell, and when it chimes once she steps away from the tree. ] All yours, Akira.
no subject
When Pyra steps aside, it's easy enough for him to imagine what he wants to wish for.]
I wish... for Pyra to be happy. [Whether that's through her wishes coming true, or some other way. If she can truly, sincerely, find a way to a more joyful life, maybe she can leave behind whatever's weighing her down. Little by little...
He rings the bell, then lets go, shoving his hands back in his pockets and watching it chime.]
1/2
.....And here she had thought he was going to wish for porn. ]
no subject
[ She whispers, and the cold his name forms a cloud from her lips.
Did he really have to wish for something for her? Doesn't he have something more important than that, or someone else he could use his wish for? Surely he does, because she knows him to be kind and sociable, so he must know plenty of others that he could with for them to be happy...
Ah. So that's it. Although she had tried, he hadn't been good at hiding it at all. Not from him. ] That's not fair.
no subject
He rubs his neck and looks away again, suddenly awkward.]
Sorry. Maybe I should have told you my idea, first.
1/2
Instead she stands there awkwardly in the snow that begins to melt beneath her feet, looking almost as frozen as she had been back in the ice palace. She looks lost.
She looks... helpless. ] I...
no subject
...Thank you. [ That's the right thing to say in this situation, isn't it? ] That was really sweet of you.
no subject
Maybe Pyra is more like him than he thought. But when she offers a simple thank you instead, he won't press, instead offering a small smile.]
With both of our wishes together, I'm sure something will happen soon that will make you happy.
