October | Test Drive Meme

Jikan Test Drive Meme
MinimizeYou've seen this before. The thought strikes suddenly, during whatever it is you were doing. Having an important conversation? Running away from home? Dying in the midst of a fierce battle? Where ever you are, one things is true: you're certain this isn't the first time you've lived through this. But upon realizing this, that's when it happens. Like someone hitting rewind on the VCR, you're back where you were ten minutes ago. And it happens again. And again. And again--

Until finally, something is different. A door stands in front of you. Will you go through it? Nothing else seems to be working, so this might be your only chance.



Upon opening the door and heading inside, a strange feeling overwhelms you. It's comforting and warm, like being enveloped in a soft, heavy blanket. You hear a voice murmuring in your ear, but it's unintelligible.

And in the next moment, you've appeared in front of a mysterious stone shrine in the middle of a forest, surrounded by the unfamiliar yet worried faces of fox-like humans in red and white robes, speaking in a foreign language that doesn't sound so foreign to you anymore.

Maryouku University

There isn't much time to process what's happening before characters are transported to the nearby Maryouku University. All injuries are completely healed, and those under mental duress will have a powerful soothing spell cast on them to calm them down. Their every need is met: food is offered, and questions are answered. "You've arrived in the Western Kingdom of Nippon, on a planet called Gaia," they explain. "When you became aware of the timeloop, we... well, let us explain."

Orientation Maryouku University, Kyoto
Everyone is brought to a large auditorium, where dozens of other people looking similarly out of place are seated around them. The Kitsune Yokai from before filter on stage, as well as a number of humans and other Yokai in labcoats. And after a brief introduction, they begin to explain. What they experienced back home was a timeloop. While the loops in their home worlds are smaller and likely to resolve on their own, the fact that such a small amount of time is being repeated is what makes them so dangerous for those who become aware of it. And they've been working around the clock, checking adjacent universes for others who've become aware. While the technical explanations may go over the heads of most, that's not the reason they were all brought together like this.


"In order to bring you here, we used the very same magic responsible for freeing our world... Kizuna."


And they continue to explain: their own world was trapped in a year long loop for decades, if not longer. Through the use of an ancient form of bonding magic, they bound their world to the present flow of time, allowing it to progress past the timeloop. Or at least, that's how they thought it worked. In truth, Kizuna is very powerful reality-warping magic. And thanks to the powerful bond all refugees now share with the country of Nippon, the magic surrounding them will only continue to evolve.

Until a means of resuming the flow of time back in their home world is found, they'll just have to make due with this one. But not to worry, because Nippon is fully committed to taking care of the refugees!

A Brand New Home Kyoto, Kansai
Once orientation is over, characters will be allowed to choose housing in both Kyoto and Tokyo, enabling them the means of easily living between both cities if they please. These housing options will be fully paid for by the government of Nippon, with the NRL and MRU providing a stipend for food expenses in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively.

In lieu of providing transportation, all refugees will be granted an unlimited rail pass that they can use to travel all across Nippon! As of the beginning of May, express routes connecting Tokyo and Kyoto will be running at all times of day, allowing refugees to freely travel between the Eastern and Western Kingdoms.

At the Kiyomizu Temple in Higashiyama, preparations are underway for a festival coming at the end of the month. Refugees will hear talk of the locals trying to decide on what style mask they want to create, and at the Temple itself, they'll find craft booths offering free supplies for custom mask making. The masks must reflect what a person believes to be their inner self, and there's limitless supplies provided to bring their creation to light. It seems these are going to be really important later, so don't just half-ass it, okay?

Over at the dorms in Gion, a rather provocative game has broken out amongst the residents. Following a generous gift of prized sake from one of their patrons, the Geiko have decided to throw a party with the refugees, and somehow, this devolved into a competition of strip rock-paper-scissors. With just how many accessories the Geiko wear, they clearly have the advantage! But no one is talking it very seriously, and the night is filled with laughter and silliness. Join the fun? It's one hell of a way to make new friends!

In Uji, signs of autumn have taken over, as the famously rural neighborhood becomes filled with beautiful hues of red and yellow. At the Byodoin Temple, the monks have requested that all visitors bring offerings of colorful leaves for their resident Phoenix deity, who is known to drain the color from people who provide lackluster or incorrect offerings. However, it seems the phoenix is only interested in red leaves this season, and offering any other color will render the one making the offering temporarily colorblind. At least the effect only lasts about an hour? Such a picky bird.


NRL Time Refugee Support Network
Once they've received their housing assignment, all refugees will be given small handheld devices called magi-tech comms, or magi-comms for short. They're heavier than a conventional smartphone would be, but far sturdier, and powered by the ambient magic that flows through the city. They don't need to be charged, but they won't work outside of cities at all. Upon booting it up, they'll find a message linking them to a special channel for refugees.

A Tale of Two Festivals

As the leaves of autumn begin to change, so too are the refugees encouraged to change up their routine and pay a visit to the city of Nara. Located south of Kyoto, Nara is a city where Yokai and Ayakashi live in perfect equilibrium, with many aspects of life in the city adjusted to account for the Ayakashi's eccentric behavior. Likewise, the Ayakashi here are almost never known to curse anyone, and are generous in the blessings they offer both the people and the land in which they live.

Perhaps some are put off by the idea of a city where Ayakashi are allowed to flourish after past experiences with these strange creatures. But this month is special!

Starting on October 1st, the Tsukimi Festival is held every night after sundown for the next two weeks. Long ago, the gods gifted Gaia an enchanting string of pearls that entwined the planet, lighting up the night sky. However, the greed of mortals seeking power led them to fight over the pearls. As wars waged, the pearls would be shattered in the conflict, until only one remained. Seeing the way their gift was tarnished, the gods decided that those on Gaia would only be allowed to see the pearl in all its glory for part of the month, taking it away for the other half. This became the cycles of the moon, and the shattered remains of the other pearls formed the solid ring that is always visible in the night sky.

So what makes October so special? For this month only, the full moon will be completely visible for the first full two weeks of the month, never visibly waxing nor waning. But what happens after two weeks...? Well, you'll just have to be patient for that!

One With Nature Narashi, Nara
Nara is an interesting city. Buildings are seemingly hidden away by larger-than-life trees that tower overhead, with some even built into the trees themselves, and all of them brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow for the fall season. Lower streets and areas are lit up by special bioluminescent flowers that bloom on the lower sections of the tree's trunk. And while magic-powered lifts exist, the sheer number of elevated walkways and stairs make it a bit of a workout to explore. And of course, no matter where one looks, wildlife is around every corner -- though by and far, most of them are ayakashi. But there are no higanbana death flowers or dangerous tsutsumi-bara vines here. Instead, the refugees will has a chance to see more tranquil varieties ordinarily only found in the depths of Nippon's forests.

One of the more common creatures found in the main district of Nara, Narashi, is the Arukibake, the ghost-walker ayakashi. Utterly harmless, these little leggy ghosts can be found strutting around the city at every corner, ranging from the size of an apple to waist-height. However, they're known to be naturally attracted to people who have recently experienced bouts of depression or loneliness. The exact reason for this is unknown, but anyone seen with a small procession of these fellas marching silently behind them is certain to get more than a few concerned passer-bys offering them a warm meal, a hug, or even a shoulder to cry on if they need it. Even for the Western Kingdom, it seems the people of Nara are especially compassionate.

And then, there's the likes of the fuwakafun, the puffball ayakashi. No larger than your average cotton ball, these little guys are known to spread not pollen, but color as they move from flower to flower. And Nara, with its unique species of bioluminescent flower that blooms all year round, has no shortage of flowers even during the fall season. Should the fuwakafun land on someone's hair or clothing, it'll fade to take on the color of whatever flower the fuwakafun was resting in before. Ordinarily this effect is meant to create rare flowers as a gift for those who allow the fuwakafun to live in their garden, but with more fuwakafun than flowers, they've got to make do with what they have.

But for all that the Ayakashi in Nara are peaceful, there are still more than a few troublemakers. One in particular to look out for is the gurakurage, the glass-jelly ayakashi. Appearing in an array of beautiful colors, these ayakashi are attracted by greed and feelings of lust. It's not uncommon to see them tethered by a string in shops, where their increased activity serves as a warning to look out for shoplifters. But when encountered in the wild, these strange jellyfish will latch onto the bodies of people experiencing sexual frustration. A minor annoyance to be sure, as they can simply be peeled off, but just don't break the glass dome atop their head. Doing so will greatly anger the ayakashi, causing them to grow in size before... well. I think we all know where the prompt with the tentacle creature is going.

Dear Deer Narashi, Nara
While Nara is known for its high population of Ayakashi, the most well-known is the Saiwaika, the good-fortune deer. Growing no more than two feet high, these miniature deer can be found in parks throughout Nara, where they've become so docile and used to the presence of Yokai that they'll walk right up and cutely beg for food. Thankfully, vendors selling special crackers for the saiwaika can be found everywhere.

Being around the saiwaika has an interesting effect. Those who look upon their tiny, dainty forms will find themselves strongly compelled to be generous and kind to every living creature they meet. Originally a defense mechanism against predators, the saiwaika instead offer this power as a blessing to the people of Nara, which is said to have the lowest crime rate of any city in the Western Kingdom. Even cruel or downright evil folks will find their hearts filled with warm feelings, offering to buy their worst enemy lunch, help a little old lady cross the street, or maybe even offer some more of those tasty crackers to the deer...

All right, so there's a little bit of an ulterior motive to their blessing. But you can't deny they're very cute. However, they really do have a certain craving for these crackers. And while they've learned not to steal them off the stall tables, once the wrapping comes off, it's a free-for-all. The tiny deer have been known to swarm, nibbling at the clothes of those bearing the treats. Some even attempt to jump and steal them, with the saiwaika being well-known for its ability to leap nearly ten feet into the air. Yes, this looks as silly as you can imagine.

Perhaps its because of this that a common prank played by children in Nara is to slip a few crackers into an unsuspecting friend's pocket, causing the deer to hungrily swarm without the target knowing why. Shouldn't their blessing counteract these pranks...? Well, if the saiwaika is getting fed, is it really such a bad thing?

Behold The Pearl Narashi, Nara
Given the name of the festival, it should come as no surprise that the chief activity performed during the festival is simply observing the moon with good company and plenty of food every night. Its radiance will only grow brighter as the festival continues, the light reflecting off the ring that surrounds Gaia and causing it, too, to glow every night, occasionally releasing rainbow-colored bursts of magical energy only visible during Tsukimi.

For the best views, Sarusawa Pond in Narashi is widely considered to be the optimal location for moon-viewing parties. Food and drink stalls can be found lining the pathways that circle the pond, and with the backdrop of a five-story pagoda lit up by moonlight, it's also known as one of the most romantic spots in Nara.

But while there are plenty of places to sit and gaze up at the moon on the shore, the real celebrations occur on small boats that sit silently upon the water. Only allowed to sail at a certain hour before sundown, those hoping for a proper moon-viewing best board early. And once the boat has parked on the pond, a Mizu spell is used to still the water, causing a mirror-like image of the moon and the stars above to reflect upon its pristine surface.

But aside from being very beautiful, there are a number of superstitions associated with this practice. It's said that one should never stare at their own reflection in the water, or else they may see their reflection begin to twist and mutate into a monster. While limited to just their reflection, the effects of this spell may cause erratic or animal-like behavior when standing in the moonlight, with some becoming prone to acting on their every impulse, no matter how rash. It's not uncommon for at least one party-goer to make the mistake of staring too long, before throwing themselves in the shallow pond and thrashing about wildly. Unfortunately, the effects of this will linger until the festival ends on the 14th. Better bring an umbrella for tomorrow's Tsukimi.



OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's October TDM! The TDM is considered game canon, and also serves as the intro log! That said, whether you choose to carry threads over to the game or not is up to you!

• Current players are more than welcome to top-level, or take prompts from the TDM and use for their own logs! This may change in the future depending on how busy TDMs become.

• CRAU characters may start regaining their CRAU memories one month after the TDM. However, vague feelings of familiarity are allowed between previous game CR! For more on this, please read the FAQ!

• You do not need to sign-up for housing! Choose whichever style you prefer, in both Kyoto and Tokyo. Roommates can be chosen by the characters or can be random. If you want to switch housing later, your character has the option of moving at the beginning of each month.

• While you do not need to thread the mask-making prompt if you don't want to, these masks will become important for the event later in the month, so choose your designs carefully!

• The full moon will be visible in the night sky from everywhere in Nippon for the first two weeks of October. While Tsukimi celebrations can be found everywhere, the sister festival to this one is unique to the Kansai region, and will be explained in more detail in the event later in the month.

• Characters who have their reflection mutated by the pond's spell will retain a monster-like appearance when they look into a mirror or reflective surface until the festival ends on the 14th. This effect is for their reflection only.

• Similarly, whether their reflection becomes monstrous in a frightening way, or monstrous in a sexy way, is completely up to you. The change can be subtle or dramatic, and those around them will be able to see the changes!


Please leave any questions about the TDM prompts in the thread below! General game questions can be directed to the FAQ!

Apps are always open!

Dear Deer

[She felt like a Disney princess. Feeding cute deer, surrounded by cute deer, and feeling soft and positive about all the things in the world. Peace took a deep, calm breath and continued to pet the little ayakashi in her lap. Her fluffy, red tail swept the ground beside her, careful of tiny hooves.]

Thoma | Genshin Impact

[personal profile] rothenschild 2021-09-30 12:38 am (UTC)(link)

Brand New Home (A. Masks )

... How about... this?

[ the blonde asks, holding up the mask design for a dog that is patiently seated next to him at their little table for masking making. The two of them seen to be quite engaged in the process—or at least the human does as he seems to carefully cater to the Shiba Inu that is dressed in its own little set of clothing and completely uninterested in the activities that are happening... Probably, anyway. Thoma reaches for a certain color and the dog barks, causing him to stop and choose another color that the dog seems to feel acceptable and makes no fuss on. Anyway, yeah Thoma is here catering to Taroumaru, as one can't simply leave the owner of the Komore Teahouse on his own. Honestly, he's also naturally worried about Kamisato siblings after what he was informed of concerning their world, but he can only do so much at once, and trying to locate people in this place when he's not even sure they are here is a complicated feat when having just arrived.

Taroumaru snorts with a low rumble of a woof in his throat to which Thoma casually responds:
] I'm sure they're both fine. We shouldn't worry them by not taking care of ourselves first, you know? [ he tells the shiba even as he goes about measuring the dog for his mask... like a professional seamster for dogs. Luckily for this world, perhaps, he's good at it with people, too, so he's happy to offer his assistance in fitting your masks if you need it.

Still how much is it necessary to make these masks as part of taking care of the two of them, he wonders. It's best not to think too hard on the situation for now until his head is a little clearer and he's more settled. Ayaka and Ayato can take care of themselves just fine, although Thoma is a bit worried more about Ayaka and her ability to handle social situations. Her ability to protect herself is top notch, at least.
]


Brand New Home (B. Strip Janken )


[ You can also find them playing strip rock-paper-scissors with the Geiko in Gion, but Thoma is more or less protecting Taroumaru's dignity since he only plays two moves: paper or rock. In the Shiba Inu's defense, he wins 98% of the time. On the other hand, he only has two pieces of clothing so Thoma is being a team player at the moment and taking articles off in Taroumaru's stead.

Also, the dog isn't drunk, but Thoma is. Ah well.
]


Behold the Pearl

Stop looking.

[ Initially, he's covering Taroumaru's eyes as the dog stares at his reflection in the water ready to bark at the imposter just in case. Other than that, the two of them are being very responsible by not looking at their reflections and thus not being affected by any mischief. Since they've already watched one person jump into the lake and go flailing, they're on the lookout for anyone who might need a helping hand... assuming one can assist with this sort of thing. Mostly, they're out to keep people from drowning since anything else they haven't exactly come across yet. They've avoided the boats and are moon gazing from the shore, Thoma doing much more of watching the moon than Taroumaru (who is yawning and looking here and there and mostly ready to sleep), but they're sharing some kind of jerky food that keeps the Shiba awake enough to make sure Thoma keeps portioning things out responsibly.

They may approach if you look to be distressed or act out in some way.

B for Ultimate Chaos

[personal profile] brilliantdiamond 2021-09-30 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Aether's been staying at the dorm in Gion since he arrived, but was actually planning to move out soon. Perhaps that's why he's been encouraged by the girls to go all out tonight, drinking just a bit too much, and being talked into wearing a certain outfit again (yes, again) much to their endless delight. He's been pretty lucky so far, just losing a shoe, a glove, and the tie holding his hair up, letting it loose over his shoulders.]

[And it's in this state that he sees Thoma and Taroumaru, matched with him for the next showdown. How long have they been here??]

[He can only hope that maybe the other man is too drunk to recognize him like this. He's just one of the Geiko okay, ignore the fact that he's also the only blond with gold eyes and obviously not a kitsune, and clearly talking in falsetto to sound more feminine--]


Er... which... one of you is competing?

[This seems like a reasonable question to ask for some reason.]

Gocheau | Helix Waltz

[personal profile] graveneighbor 2021-09-30 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
• one with nature - the debbie downer parade

[ The blue-haired demon with downward sloping horns certainly looks the part of someone who's down in the dumps, right? Gocheau hasn't even noticed the arukibake trailing behind him as he takes in the sights.

If approached, he'll give a wan smile and say- ]


The leaves are dying, as we all are. It's a shame that so many deaths aren't as peaceful and beautiful as theirs.

[ Why is he like this, honestly. ]


• one with nature - jellies

[ Eventually, his glumness turns into a sort of serenity, because despite the sadness underlying his near constant musings about death, he is more at peace with it than not.

He has more trouble with... other things, as the gurakurage that settles on hos head clearly noticed. ]


Oh, be careful, stranger. You're out in the air, you'll die soon. Are you comfortable? Here, be careful not to get caught in my horns...

[ He chats softly to it like that, adjusting the yokai like a hat.

If approached, or if he looks up and sees someone passing by, he'll call out to them. ]


Excuse me. Do you mind helping me with this creature? If I can grant it a few more minutes of life, wouldn't that be good?


• wildcard

[ Gocheau's going to be making a mask - I haven't decided what it'll be yet, but the possibilities are: a skull (his true self being... dead), or his face but scarred and bloody from battle (him as a merciless mercenary). I'm bad at this, so feel free to say he's just starting on his! Help him, make suggestions. He's made puppets before, so he's got skills, just maybe not any good ideas.

He will absolutely be moongazing and will particularly enjoy the rainbows and the use of mizu magic - demons in his canon have a connection with water, lore-wise. He'll stare at the moon and completely miss his own reflection because he's just. Himself

He can also be found sitting up in a tree and inspecting leaves during the daytime.

Or throw anything at me! I'll match format. ]

[Souma is frolicking. Zero shame about it, too. He's prancing around in the meadow with the adorable deer and puff creatures, drawing leafy designs on the ground and the trees and his own arms and clothing. While he plays around, he's humming little yokai songs to them. They seem to like the music of his people.

Yes, a shadow yokai born of nature's elements is very much happy here in Nara, in the dappled shade of the trees and the soft glow of the flowers. Souma can't imagine anything more enchanting than an afternoon just doing nothing like this.

He looks up at the other traveler and smiles gently. This is the smile of a soul who is completely in bliss and at peace with himself.]


But isn't that the beauty of being here, right now? The leaves are sharing their gorgeous climax with us. We shouldn't waste it.

[He reaches out a hand and a maple leaf alights on his palm, as if drawn there by his connection to nature. Souma examines it in wonder, marveling at each color and vein and feathery edge it has. He whispers to the leaf.]

Thank you.

[The breeze rises and it carries the leaf up and away. He looks up and lets out a little laugh of excitement.]

Ahh, it's so good to be here!

I. Fuwakafun

[Nara was an interesting place. All of the different ayakashi were fascinating. He was particularly drawn to the little puffballs that spread color. His hair had turned a vibrant red and he watched his clothes change from pink and then to white with a curious smile. When one of the ayakashi attempted to land on his crystal earring, he quickly covered it with a sad smile.]

Not that.

II. Dear Deer

[Altair was the perfect victim for the Arukibake and a large group of them silently followed him. Altair tried to scare them off at first but after awhile he just accepted his silent stalkers, for now. He kept a wary eye on them just in case but the only thing they seemed to do was bring attention to him and make him have to deal with annoying gestures of compassion. Having strangers act like they cared about him was painful. No one was ever that kind back home and he didn't need their fake sympathy. Anyone that dared try to comfort him was met with a dark glare.

A group of kids decided that the grumpy refugee needed some cheering up and when he was distracted, they secretly placed some special crackers in his pocket. Altair whirled around to confront them when a group of small deer swarmed him.]


Hey!

[He tried to push the small ayakashi away but as more deer leaped over to him, his anger softened and his growls turned into bright laughter.]

What did you little rascals do?

[It is at this precise moment that a blood-curdling scream can be heard resounding in the clearing. And in another moment, Kiriho comes tearing through in red robes, being chased by several gurakage of various colors. He sees Altair right in front of him but doesn't change course]

GET OUT OF THE WAY, DUMBASS! IT'S GROWING!

Zhongli | Genshin Impact

[personal profile] negeotiation 2021-09-30 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Strip Janken
[Zhongli is actually rather fond of Gion. The teahouses there are excellent, and the entertainment as well.

Which is why he's found himself tugged into a game of rock paper scissors with some Geiko. Fortunately for Zhongli, he has a tendency to wear many layers. Unfortunately... he isn't very good at rock paper scissors.

So he's only vaguely tipsy by the time they've gotten him out of his outer layers, accessories and all. That still leaves at least two inner layers though, so there's a ways to go.]


Hm... I wonder if the paper beating rock is a metaphor, perhaps...?

[That just sends a nearby geiko giggling as she plays with his stolen tie.]

One with... rocks?
[Zhongli was actually quite fond of the ayakashi, honestly. The sheer amount of them in Nara is fascinating, and he delights in meeting the various beings that inhabit the city.

He finds himself curious about how peaceful the balance between yokai and ayakashi is here. Is it because they feel accepted by the people...? He wonders.

Maybe that is why during the next two weeks he can occasionally be found surrounded by a group of Kaoseki, conversing with them softly, occasionally even offering them gentle strokes to their surface or moving them to a location they might prefer, away from possible foot-traffic or industry that might chip or mar them. He finds one face down in the road after it was kicked from a garden, and proceeds to coddle it gently before helping it find a nice, new place to settle among some glowing flowers.

Yes, he's talking to rocks. No, he sees no problem with this. Oddly enough, the Kaoseki seem to enjoy it, their groans sounding oddly happy as they seek the man's attention.

Why... why does one nearby seem to have rocky, spindly legs? Rather similar to the Arukibake wandering around actually, except this one is dashing about madly like a small, giddy child.]


Is the balance acceptable? I kept it as close to what you desired as I could.

[Is he... altering the kaoseki? According to their whims?

Why would you do this. Why would he subject everyone to leggy rocks.]


Behold The Pearl
[Of course, he absolutely must join in the nightly moon-viewing during the festival. When he hears that Sarusawa Pond is considered the optimal location for such a thing, he makes a point to visit, perusing the markets stalls for food and drink and wandering the shoreline, settling on a large rock or a soft patch of grass to watch the moon rise, a jar of sake by his side. He'd be happy for company, certainly.

And at least one evening before sundown, he might approach a familiar face, offering a soft smile.]


Would you care to join me for a boat ride? I must admit I am curious about the view, but I would scarce dare take up a boat only for myself.

[personal profile] acutabove 2021-09-30 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ He remembered Zhongli mentioning a festival or some such in the morning, but he’d been kept busy with a mixture of work and his own things to accompany Zhongli at the proper time. As such, he doesn’t make it to the appointed location where everything is being held until the stars have already begun to peek in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, he finds Zhongli at the shoreline. The moon illuminates his features in such a way that Childe can’t help but to admire him for a few moments before he makes his way over, announcing his presence with a cough and a little wave. ]


A boat ride, huh? You’re not gonna make me do all the work, are you?

Those Who Follow

[ Suddenly arriving in a city he’s never been to had been one thing, but then came all the timeloop talk that almost hurt his head. Once he’d taken time to adjust and realize this wasn’t all just something in his head?

Allen decided to explore and headed up to Nara, in awe at this city as he’d never seen anything like it back home. He’d gotten caught up just walking around, surprised at the non-humans walking amongst the people and yet not bothered by them as they weren’t malicious OR Akuma so as long as they didn’t bother anyone it was okay!

It took some time but eventually?

People started to offer him things like a shoulder to cry on, one particularly bold individual just suddenly hugged him which had him blinking in confusion. Sure, it wasn’t bad, just strange and he wasn’t quite used to it. Not knowing why until he turned around and found the odd little things following behind him. There was at least four of them just staring at him curiously, to which he then glanced around and eventually knelt at their level. ]


Y’don’t have to follow me everywhere. I’m fine. Really.

[ He doesn’t get WHY they’re following him. Clearly. Why would they be?? ]


Fluffy Fun

[ It seemed so innocuous. The little fluffy things flying around were cute.

So of course Allen didn’t think twice when one of them landed on his hair. Not until he’d been passing by a window of a shop and did a double take when he realized his once white hair was a vibrant pink. ]


W-Wha??? How??

[ He tugged at some strands of his hair with a groan. Why him? ]

…This better not be permanent. I can’t just… have pink hair forever! I’d never hear the damn end of it if I came back like this!!!

[ Oh the look on Kanda’s face. He’d NEVER survive it. ]


Dear Deer

[ There HAD to be something about him and attracting all kinds of unfortunate or bad luck, as just when he thought things were okay and he could walk around without any other weird things happening here? He’d just been minding his business and hadn’t seen it when some local kids had decided to slip some of those crackers into his coat pockets.

Which wasn’t all that bad until he realized he was being swarmed by a bunch of the tiny deer and why he was confused because they kept nibbling at his clothes. ]


Uh… hey. I really don’t have anything, I promise! Though I might be able to get you food when I get something for myself...

[ He looks surprisingly at ease and at least smiling despite the swarming, a soft smile on his face. ]

Why not?

[Guess who else is sporting pink hair? Kaeya didn't really mind it all that much outside of the fact that he rather liked his blue hair better. Being from a world where pink was a legitimate hair color meant he wasn't quite as surprised by the color, just by the change itself.

He looked at his own rat tail for a moment and then shrugged, dropping it.]


I'm sure it's temporary. Most things here are like that.

Scaramouche | Genshin Impact

[personal profile] lyingstars 2021-09-30 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
I. BEHOLD THE PEARL: I SEE STARS
[The end of the previous month had been abysmal for the Sixth so he’s taken it upon himself to try and relax a little. De-stress and keep his mind off of certain things. Thankfully most of his priorities throughout the day are still manageable - mainly through the fact that the largest part of his magic training involves time shenanigans. Combined with his need to rest less, it’s easy enough to schedule in some time to go and check out the festival in Nara that’s happening.

Though he does keep a book he’s been reading on him to flip through, when nothing catches his attention.

When night rolls around Scaramouche finds himself getting some food from one of the stalls and wandering to a clear grassy area to sit. His hat is carefully placed on the ground to his left - veils, strings and trinkets neatly folded inward - and his food rests to his right. He appears almost peaceful as he sits, the lighting making him look far more delicate than he actually is. The book he’s brought with him is seated in his lap as he slowly flips through it - occasionally reaching over to grab some of his food to eat, or to look up and watch the moon.

While he seems perfectly content on his own, perhaps he might enjoy some company?]

II. DEAR DEER: ACTING NICE WHEN YOU’RE NOT NICE
[Scaramouche has never been one overly fond of animals and creatures, as it stands he’s barely fond of people, so his initial reaction to the ‘good-fortune deer’ isn’t anything of note. He’s in the park to relax and enjoy the scenery not watch tiny deer beg people for food… Or he would be in the park to relax if the little things would stop following him.

Perhaps they enjoy the soft jingling of the bells on his hat. Or perhaps they smell blood in the water and see him as an easy mark to get food out of.

The longer he finds they stick around him the more uncomfortable he feels. It’s like there’s some emotion bubbling under the surface that he can’t quite place, but he knows it’s not something he really wants to sit and figure out. To anyone watching he likely looks like he’s going to be sick, and that expression doesn’t change as he crouches down to stare at the small group that keeps following him.]


…I suppose you are kind of cute.

[His face scrunches up in thought as he stares at them. And stares… and stares.

Finally he stands with a sigh, walking off to find one of those vendors that sell food for the dumb things, his tiny entourage trailing right behind the veil and bells that flow down from his hat.

It’s only once he has the food that things become a problem.

See when you’re 5’1, the 2 foot deer seem a whole lot bigger - especially when there’s suddenly a whole lot more of them that decided to show up. Most especially when they start jumping and nibble at his sleeves.

They are begrudgingly cute and he does want to feed them. But he also regrets his choices right about now.]

II: TINY DEER

[personal profile] acutabove 2021-10-01 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's by chance that he finds Scaramouche, not choice; he'd heard people conversing loudly about a new festival or some such, and remembering fondly all the ones he'd gone to in the past since arriving in Nippon, he thought it might be best to go and see what all the fuss was about.

He's not disappointed in the least. There's nothing here that reminds him of Tevyat, and while he wishes that it were a lot colder and less humid, the colorful, ethereal scenery more than makes up for it.

At least, until he'd spotted Scaramouche. Fortunately, Kazuha is nowhere to be seen, and the Sixth is probably too busy being accosted by small, adorable animals to notice Childe's approach at first.

That's fine. He makes no secret of his arrival. Much as he would like to goad the other into a fight, he finds the urge less prominent now than before, for some strange reason. He looks from the tiny, small-footed deer creatures to his equally tiny associate and feels a strained smile tug at his face. ]


Don't eat them, Scara.

[personal profile] fallendragon 2021-09-30 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
I. Higashiyama (multithread option with Altair)

[Arrakis was intrigued by the talk of making masks. Altair loved art so it was perfect. Like he suspected, after his initial resisting, Altair went along with it. He even looked excited as he considered his options. He tried to hide it behind a small frown but Arrakis knew Altair well enough not to be fooled. Altair was cute when he tried to hide his enthusiasm and Arrakis couldn’t help the small chuckle that escaped. Oops. Before Altair could get suspicious, Arrakis picked up a cat mask, hiding his teasing smile behind it.]

What about a cat?

[Altair looked up with a frustrated glare.]

No.

It’s supposed to fit your inner self though.

So are going with gryphon then?

[Arrakis hesitated for a second before he quickly hid his uncertainty with a small smile.]

As a matter of fact, yes. Unlike you, I like the form my soul takes.

[To be honest, he had no idea what his inner self would look like. He was just a fake behind a mask. His soul took the form of a small gryphon but he wasn’t sure if he deserved such an elegant creature.]

((OOC: for anyone that lives at the dorms, you might have seen a small white gryphon or an unnatural looking black cat with violet eyes and a living shadow wandering around sometimes that may or may not be connected to their conversation.))


II. One with Nature

[Nara was fascinating! It was neat how yokai and ayakashi coexisted here and he was eager to explore everything. He wasn’t sure why the cute little ghost ayakashi were following him, but he didn’t mind, until someone approached him offering a shoulder to cry on. Arrakis was clearly taken aback, and he started to panic when they told him about the Arukibake following him. Oh, that’s why. He politely declined the person’s generous offer and quickly left the area. When he was alone, he turned to the ghosts following him with a nervous smile.]

I appreciate the concern but I’m fine, really. So could you stop following me?

[The little ghosts didn’t respond and kept following Arrakis. Ok, he will take that as a no. He didn’t have a choice then. He summoned a gust of air and leaped into the air, rising higher away from the little ghosts. When he thought he was high enough, he landed on one of the elevated walkways with a tired sigh.]

I think that worked.

[For now anyway.]


III. Behold the Pearl

[Arrakis didn’t mean to look at his reflection. He was entranced by the mirror image of the moon and was following the stars when his gaze strayed too close to the boat. He stared down at the skull connected to a whirling storm cloud shaped like a human that looked back at him. His expression was a mix of horror and curiosity as he leaned over the boat in a daze, his voice a hushed whisper.]

Is this what I looked like to them?


IV. Wildcard

[If you want something different with Arrakis, or both Arrrakis and Altair feel free to plot with me on plurk[plurk.com profile] Nicholaj, Discord@Nicholaj#7473, or PM, whichever is easier for you.]

[ Allen really hadn't thought this little trip was all that bad. If anything, the sights were lovely until his gaze had went the wrong way and caught a glimpse of himself in the water. A twisted smile on his face, golden eyes and ashen skin, and the hair... was shorter and black.

He scowled at it before shaking his head quickly. No. That WASN'T him and he wouldn't let it be that way.

That's when he spotted the guy near him leaning over the boat, clapping his left hand onto his shoulder to try and pull him back before he ended up falling off. His instincts telling him it wouldn't be good to stare too long at their reflections. ]


Hey! You're going to fall off if you're not careful.

Emet-Selch | FFXIV

[personal profile] unsundered 2021-09-30 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
i. arukibake
[A new city to explore, and with unsubtle suggestions to do so? While part of him was inclined to ignore it just because, with nothing better to do, why not see what all the fuss was about?

But as soon as he'd set foot in Nara, he'd obtained something of an... entourage. Arukibake gathered about him, at a close, if polite distance. At first, Emet-Selch had regarded them with mild curiosity, as apart from following him around, they didn't seem to do anything. Yet as the collection around him not only persisted, but grew, the citizens of Nara kept trying to approach him, looking progressively more worried, as soon as they caught sight of the... number. So it wasn't long at all before he had an explanation as to what those sort of ayakashi suggested.

So his exasperation grew, as he kept having to turn away well-meaning but unwelcome inquiries as to his well-being. Offers to listen, to help, to solve whatever ill apparently plaguing him. And while the Ascian was patient at first, as it seemed that he could go nowhere in this city without his arukibake companions, it was quickly becoming tiresome, when the strange ghosts seemed to encourage any and everyone to talk to him. To try and get him to open up. At just this moment he's turning away yet another Concerned Citizen, in a way that was nearly brusque. Insistences that the only thing wrong was that he was being bothered in the first place.

Perhaps you're lingering in just the wrong place at the wrong time, but when he turns to you, it's with a mixture of suspicion and open frustration, assuming you're just one more person there to be invasive.]


What? Must I repeat myself?

[It's also possible to find him later on, in a hopefully less frustrated mood.

Though the more Emet-Selch lingered anywhere, the more arukibake seemed to have time to gather. Despite this, he's found a bench to settle into of an evening, to wait for nothing at all. There's an illusion of seclusion there, shaded by trees and illuminated flowers, but offering a reasonable view of the city (or rather, ever more of the trees that decorate and obscure it).

...Gods there's dozens of the little ghosts by now, of varying sizes. Possibly more, hidden among the plants. Lounging demonstrably over his chosen bench, Emet-Selch determinedly ignores them, while also not paying much attention to the view. For anyone who stops nearby to take in the army of depression ghosts and the tired-looking man at the center of them, he just sighs expansively, closing his eyes at his visitor.]


Just ignore them. Unless you've some clever idea to rid me of them, I don't want to hear about it.



ii. saiwaika
[It's another day, and while the arukibake remain, at their polite distance, this time Emet-Selch doesn't seem bothered by them at all. And not even in the resigned sort of way, as he looks to be entirely content with ignoring the ghosts entirely in favor of a particular deer right in front of him.

He'd heard about the saiwaika before encountering them, but had been somewhat dubious as to how effective their influence truly was. Something like that surely wouldn't impact him, would it? It sounded absurd, whatever magic they had taking advantage of weak, or otherwise easily influenced minds. Forewarned especially, the Ascian was confident he had nothing to worry about, and when the first tiny deer approaches him, he thinks nothing of it.

...Which explains why he's currently sitting in a corner of the park feeding a pair of very adorable deer. Though he's still frowning, well, that's just how he looks, and his manner overall is rather relaxed. One cracker after another is handed out to the friendly ayakashi, who pretend at patience because The Treats Keep Coming.]


They're quite sweet things, aren't they? Would that we all could be satisfied so readily with a few crackers.

[He's completely charmed. Distantly, he's aware that this isn't a normal sort of feeling... but it wasn't a bad thing, was it? There was a kind of relief to it, honestly....]

i. barrels in here

[personal profile] glitzandglamour 2021-10-01 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
[It didn't take long for Mettaton to learn what the Arukibake's goal is, and he supports their kind endeavor to accompany the lonely souls in Nara. It also clarified a lot about why they didn't flock to him, anyway, as Mettaton didn't consider himself the depressed nor the lonely sort... even though a few of the Arukibake begged to differ, flocking to him despite his self-assurance of not-being-lonely. No, they were collecting around him as soon as he started feeling a strange, strange, sense of loneliness that he couldn't deny, nor could he place it.

As soon as the month changed, Mettaton couldn't help but feel there was something beyond his understanding that was... wrong, he supposed. Missing, he'd say, if he didn't have it all, and if he wasn't torn away from his world. So of course something was missing, and of course nothing was missing at all... right? He had everything he wanted back home, from his pursuit to stardom to the life he desired on the Surface as an idol. He had his friends, his family...

Whenever he thought about that indefinite space in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the haunting feeling he felt upon first arriving here. Upon laying his eye on that tall figure and his robust soul, upon meeting in him an alley with his more compact body, upon holding his hand in a train. It felt so surreal a meeting that he wonders at times if it was a dream... though he couldn't tell whether it was a terrible one, or what it was. But one thing's for sure: the feeling Kizuna brought him thereafter was never so alluring, so striking, so captivating.

(Assuming it was Kizuna at all.)

October comes, and Nara, with it. And when traveling there, Mettaton sometimes caught curves and arches here and there that fleetingly remind him of something distinctly... Victorian. But it's just a trick of the eye. Taisho-Roman architecture blends together with something fantastical, and yet, it felt like he could be seeing some other familiar-yet-new city, under some familiar-new moonlit sky.

(He could still see the stars despite the moon. Somehow, this seems worthy of note.)

But even as Mettaton wanders these streets, no amount of loneliness compare to the Arukibake's target. So the idol follows their leggy stride with one of his own, compacting these feelings of déjà vu into a mental compartment for later. And he thinks he'll be spared the thoughts, all the way until he spots cool brown hair, striped with bangs of white.

Emet-Selch doesn't see him first, only his approach. Yet he talks to him anyway, instructing him to ignore the Arukibake, who practically swarm him. Mettaton stops in his tracks, standing quietly at a safe distance, not unlike one of the Arukibake himself.]


..... Well well well. ... Do you know why they're such fans of yours, darling?

[...He isn't scared to talk to the man who threatened him with potential blackmail, for some reason, and he speaks with ease. His voice is smooth in the evening air, and the Arukibake practically welcome him into their ranks. This man is lonely, and they are here to Keep Him Company. Mettaton too now, apparently.]

Law | Tales of Arise

[personal profile] wallbuster 2021-10-01 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I. A Brand New Home - Higashiyama
[ The last thing he remembered before being thrown into this place was wandering the many halls of Almeidrea's boat fortress in the hunt for the lord herself. He remembered it being strange, hadn't they been down that same hall before? Fought those same enemies? But every time he'd mentioned it his companions had brushed it off or else acted like he hadn't said anything. That should have been his first tip off, honestly, because even if Rinwell might have given him the cold shoulder, he and Alphen were pretty tight. There was no way he'd brush him off that easily.

As such, when it turns out that he hadn't been imagining things and that he'd been going through the loops for seven, eight, nine, ten times, before that door finally appears in front of him, he's both a little relieved to know he wasn't going crazy and also panicking because he wasn't going crazy. What did that mean for the rest of his friends? What did that mean for their mission? Would they even be able to realize he was gone?

By the time he's finished bombarding the scientists with all of his questions, the sky has become dark and speckled with stars. He's no stranger to being an outsider in a foreign land - coming from Calaglia to Cyslodia had been jarring enough, but he'd accustomed to it relatively quickly - but it still takes some getting used to especially because of the circumstances surrounding his arrival to this strange new world.

It would be smart of him to go and find some lodgings before it got too dark, maybe see if he can't fiddle around in the network and find anyone else from his world.

Instead, he's at some place called the Kiyomizu Temple, considering what looks like... an unpainted wolf's mask. Notably, there's a rather impressive looking wolf's head on his shoulder - just the right one.

Upon noticing that he's not alone at the booth, he'll look over, flash a bright, confident smile, and then hold out a hand. ]


Pass me that red ink, will you? This is gonna look sick.


II. Rock, Paper, Scissors! - Gion
[ This situation is only like this probably because he's never had alcohol before.

Correction, he's had alcohol - smuggled in secret under jackets and in flasks as a last resort to ward off the Cyslodia cold - but he's just never had so much of it. Law does have accessories a plenty, however, so even if he loses he's got a handful of belts and other pieces to go through.

It might be better if he wasn't also throwing back a shot of sake after every round and showing his choice three seconds too early. But that's fine - he doesn't mind, not even if this losing round has him unbuckling and setting down the wolf's head pauldron on his shoulder and setting it down among the assortment of buckles and one (1) gauntlet.

He'll meet eyes with the nearest person and grin, tapping on the gaudy looking thing proudly. ]


You like it? I got it off a street vendor a while back. This thing only cost me TEN - [ And here he holds up both hands, as if to emphasize his point. ] - TEN gald!

[ He pauses, looks at his hand with a flush on his face. And then he looks at the other players, before shoving his hand as-is into the circle pre-emptively and yelling out, "ROCK!"

The round hasn't even started yet. Law's just getting a head start. ]


III. The Ghosts Go Marching One by One, Hurrah, Hurrah - Narashi
[ When the first of these little guys had started following him, Law had simply brushed it off as maybe it thought he might have food or something, like animals do. So he'd done the smart thing and turned around, immediately emptyinig out his pockets and showing the only thing he had in them - a rail pass - while he nursed his throbbing hangover. When the ghost did not move he gave it a little shooing motion with his hands, and then started off again.

It's not long until he chances to look back behind him and he sees not one, but four more of those leggy dudes following behind him, and he immediately feels himself break out into a cold sweat. His pace picks up a little faster. He can hear the marching also pick up in speed. A glance behind him tells him that two more have joined the pack and oh God, this is how he dies, isn't it?

Surprising no one, this is all it takes for Law to break out into a sprint, hauling ass as fast as he can to distance himself between the marching ghosts and what is sure to be certain death. He skirts around buildings, around massive trees and flowers, shoves himself into thin makeshift alleys only to emerge out onto the other end in a burst of flailing limbs and an undignified yelp -

- which is probably why he ends up slamming into the poor individual minding their own business on the other side, which is either enough to send them tumbling or stumbling forward, depending on their size. Once he's righted himself he turns, pointing towards the little legged ghosts marching casually down this way, unhurriedly. ]


You gotta help me, man, they're gonna eat me!!


[ ooc; WILDCARD ME if nothing strikes your fancy!! i still haven't decided what age to take him from but Law will probably be late teens more than anything. ]

[thus far, she'd been pretty good at avoiding people or otherwise being abrasive enough that they didn't seem interested in her. it'd really come as no surprise, at this point, that there was something wrong for her, the repetition laughably easily put to the irons as something looping around.

... never mind that, though. the person Law's found himself with seems to be quite... sour-faced, doesn't she? even turning her gaze to him at the request, Fanerel just stares for a long moment, as if parsing what he said altogether. he's... very enthusiastic, isn't he?

well. maybe it's better, she thinks, than having him focus on the small collection of items she'd been able to settle on. he's asking about red ink, and it takes only a quick glance to find the requisite bottle, holding it out to him.]


I sincerely hope you don't think it will only take red paint to make a simple mask look its best.

[her tone is biting, judgmental, almost bored. Fanerel is... well, she's not unattractive, standing an easy 5'7 or so with a dancer's build and markedly revealing clothing, but the way she speaks certainly isn't helping her any. he's... young, she thinks, or at least somewhat. certainly old enough to look like a fighter of some measure, but still. will that make her less prickly?

absolutely not, but y'know. life.]

Mettaton | Undertale

[personal profile] glitzandglamour 2021-10-01 06:16 am (UTC)(link)

1. ONE WITH NATURE — arukibake

[If someone knows anything about the eccentric idol named Mettaton, it is that he's a supporter of ghosts, and all ghost-adjacent beings. Incorporeal or otherwise, ghosts need all the support they can get. So when he spots these little guys flaunting their stuff on legs (???) making their way downtown, walking fast to places unknown, the robot watches, curious. Mettaton takes this opportunity for diversion and follows the Arukibake as they flock to their target: someone who is depressed or lonely.

...Maybe it's just his long, long legs, but Mettaton looks like he belongs with the weird little fellows.

Around Nara he follows them, and they part from underfoot, all the way until they chance upon a fellow refugee: one who the Arukibake are drawn to. Mettaton perks up, eye bright and interest evident in the tilt of his head.]


Oh my. Aren't you a popular one, with all of these little ghosts as your entourage. Haha. How do you rate?

[Which is to say, how did you get them to follow you like this?? He sounds amused, approaching with a swaying, easygoing stride on clicking heels. His goal: to figure out why these ghosts follow people. ...Mettaton probably didn't get the memo about loneliness and depression, that's all.]


2. BRAND NEW HOME — higashiyama

Hey there! You. Tell me what you think of my inner self: my mask!

[So you're the judge of Mettaton's artistry now, as the robot practically bounces up to his nearest victim. Or rather, the nearest refugee. Foisting into their hands a hand-made mask, Mettaton provides them with his masterpiece.

It's a mask with his face. It's... it's a replica of Mettaton's face. Really. It's even a good replica of it. Though it's perhaps a bit sparkly, as far as expressions go... And sparkly as far as masks go. Glitter encrusts the mask's eyes and falls from its lips, a mask so radiant it could be a second sun. And now there's just glitter everywhere.

Mettaton plants his fists on his hips triumphantly.]


Be honest, darling. What do you think of it? It captures my heart and soul, doesn't it...? I think so, too. Don't be shy!

[Folding his hands together, he flashes a charming smile and presses his fingers against his chin cutely.]


0. WILDCARD

[Feel free to ask for a custom starter or toss one of your own at me! MTT's bound to be anywhere, really. Especially staring at his reflection on the lake... oh no...]
reorienting: (My one savior calls my name)

[personal profile] reorienting 2021-10-01 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Glenn's had a small group of Arukibake (okay, seven of them. That's a small number, right?) following him around for awhile now, and after asking why the creatures follow him, he's been very surprised to get more than one offer of affection as well as an explanation. Honestly, living with his mental health has never been easy, so having a personification of those negative feelings is a little unsettling. But the ghosties don't seem to mean him any harm as they follow him.

[He does, however, visibly startle when he's greeted, having not paid as much attention to his surroundings in this warm, peaceful area. It's enough to make some of his hair poof up and stand on end.]


...Oh! Mettaton. It's g-good to see you again.

[He recovers quickly as the follow up question registers, and his brow furrows as utter confusion lingers on his face.]

...Rate? I'm afraid I don't understand that question. Is it slang for something?

schrodingers_joker: (death glare)

Ren Amamiya | Persona 5

[personal profile] schrodingers_joker 2021-10-02 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
I. One With Nature - Arukibake

[The night before, Ren had a dream of when he and his friends had temporarily disappeared from existence because of Yaldabaoth bringing about ruin. When he woke up, it left Ren in a sour mood.

He tried to get his mind off that memory but he couldn't help but think about his friends, and how much he missed them. Which made his mood more sad than angry. This of course results in an arukibake starting to follow him.

At first, Ren just ignores them, hoping they will lose interest. But then it keeps going and he even attracts a couple more of them. He can vaguely sense stares at him, but he's used to that so he pays no mind.

Though he is trying to push down the sadness. Though at this rate, he might try to run. He's getting frustrated as it is and will likely be rather snappy if spoken to.]


II. Behold the Pearl

[Sure Ren isn't with a date, but he wants to see the nice view anyway. If only to make up for earlier. He's trying not to look at his reflection, though he did spot it once. What appeared to be his shadow self. Or what he assumes anyway, what with the glowing yellow eyes and horns like Arsene.

Either way, he's trying to relax. Care to join or bother him?]


III. Wildcard

[Rather do something else? Just post here.]

[An arm is going to suddenly land around his shoulders by a tall man dressed in blue. He had seen the silent procession and it had only taken a short while to overhear the natives gossip enough for him to figure out just what was going on. Kids are supposed to have fun, not have ghosts follow them around.]

Looks like you have quite the party train going on, but let's say we take a little detour to a little place I've wanted to try. What say you? My treat!

[Obviously, the kid didn't need to actually talk about what was going on. But Kaeya was in no mood to keep seeing the creepy crawlies, no matter how slow of a procession they were. Besides, it proved a distraction for himself.]

Aether | Genshin Impact

[personal profile] brilliantdiamond 2021-10-02 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
1 | We All Wear Masks
A mask reflecting your inner self... that seems a little deep for a festival mask.

[Perhaps more so, given children are also seen making masks. Are the people here just Like This? He turns, chatting amiably with the person sitting near him at the same booth. For his own mask, so far, all he's really done is paint it blue, with little sparkles to represent stars and way too much glitter. Like, he very clearly accidentally spilled the bottle and fucked half the mask with glitter. There's a second, untouched one nearby in case he needs a do-over.]

What do you think they'll be for? Some kind of ritual, maybe?


2 | Jan-ken-porn | Smut Option*
[Aether was living at the dorm in Gion for a few weeks, but now, he was actually planning on moving out. Perhaps that's why he's been talked into going all out, not only participating in the strip contest, but also getting absolutely shitfaced for it, on top of being talked into wearing a certain outfit that some among the Geiko have had fun finding ways of putting him into. Utter lack of chest aside, he's pretty convincing.]

[Thankfully?? his luck has been pretty good, and so far, all he's lost is a shoe, his gloves, and the band holding his hair back, leaving it to tumble down over his shoulders. But he seems determined to play until he wins... whenever that is, seeing as there's no real goal here other than getting as many drunk pretty people as naked as possible.]

[Challenge him to a match? Or maybe watch as his luck turns and someone quickly strips him of his dignity... or, you know, maybe swoop in and take him somewhere safer.]



3 | Misery Loves
[Aether quickly decides that Nara is perhaps one of the best cities he's seen in Nippon so far. Between all the trees to climb, fantastic creatures to watch, and the allure of the upcoming festival, he finds himself just spending a few days wandering the many pathways among the towering trees that make up the city.]

[But as he explore, he begins to notice... something. Or rather, a few somethings, as it seems he's gathered a small following of Arukibake. Not that he seems to mind at first, laughing whenever he notices them mirroring his actions despite existing as naught but a pair of legs.]

[But it gets a little less funny when someone tells him why they follow some people and not others.]

[So, if he sees someone else being followed, he'll reach out to them--]
Hey! You exploring the city, too?

[Or, if he sees someone he knows--] Say, wanna get lunch together? I'll treat you!

[--of course, for those who know him, they're far more likely to notice how he seems a bit off right now, the smile on his face not quite reaching his eyes.]


4 | Wildcard
[Aether can also be found: sitting on one of the boats on the pond stargazing, sitting in a pile of tiny deer, or curled up in a corner after accidentally staring at his reflection in the water. *While Aether is an ageless character that's been alive for centuries, he is mistaken for underage in canon!]

Wildcard - In a Corner

[personal profile] icepatch 2021-10-06 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kaeya recognized Aether pretty easily despite being curled up in a corner. It also helped that the emptiness in his chest seemed to become more apparent as he drew closer. He was uncomfortable, but Aether didn’t seem to be having a good time. A worse time, even. He wondered if the kid ever caught a break. He knew he wasn’t a child but he seemed just about as fragile as one. Perhaps that’s why he always mistook him for underage.

Kaeya shook his head and decided that was enough of his thoughts going around in circles. He stepped forward and crouched down to Aether, a hand hesitantly resting on his back.]


Aether? Come on, let’s take a walk.

Thanatos | Hades

[personal profile] inevitablerest 2021-10-02 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
i. A Brand New Home: Higashiyama
[It looks like Thanatos had one of the plain masks and some supplies eagerly pushed into his hand rather than picking it up voluntarily, and his ear is currently being bent by a local who is all too happy to explain to him exactly what it's all about. He's watching them passively with his face entirely devoid of emotion, floating about half a foot from the ground with a large scythe leaning against one broad shoulder (the blade is notably pointing away from the ground, as he doesn't want to accidentally take someone's eye out... or decapitate someone.]

I don't see the point of it. [He says, not for the first time. There's a flash of exasperation on the local's face.] And if you're not going to tell me, I don't see why I should be wasting my time.

[Thanatos, standing at almost seven feet when he's not floating on the ground, is usually intimidating enough in his form and overall demeanour to keep people from bothering him too much. He would say he likes it that way.

In this particular instance, he wishes it was working.
]

ii. One With Nature
[In Nara, the oft-isolated God of Death has gathered a small following. A number of Arukibake have taken to following him, with a couple of them even perched on his shoulders as he moves through the streets quietly observing the goings on and the abundant nature that - given the lack of flowers and plants in the Underworld - seems to him to be taking over everything.

He doesn't seem to mind the little spirits as much as he dislikes being bothered by people who seem to take their presence around him as a sign that they need to approach him. A few are lightly waved off before he starts being outright blunt about it, and then eventually he begins to abruptly teleport out of the 'conversations' before they begin, leaving the Arukibake following him to race to catch up.
]

Come on, then. Up here. [Thanatos might be heard to mutter as he helps one of the leggy little creatures back up to his shoulder.] Sorry about that.

iii. Behold The Pearl
[With no need or desire for food and drink and only the unsettling sensation of being away from his work and simply wanting to be alone with that unsettling sensation, Thanatos finds somewhere on the shore to sit and look up at the moon.

He prefers this - the night, even with the bright silver orb hanging persistently in the sky. The day had been... bright, and loud, and he hadn't liked it much. It would be enough to give him a headache if headaches were something Thanatos got.

The number of people who have approached him in an unsolicited manner today has him on edge in a way he isn't accustomed to, so when he happens to hear someone drawing close to him while he sits there quietly he looks over to them with an expression of weary irritation and shifts position, clearly intending to get up and leave.
]

I'll find somewhere else.

[personal profile] verytired 2021-10-03 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hypnos has his own little collection of Arukibake that he's taken to allowing to hang near by. At least one has nested itself in his hair, making it his home as he floats about. He seems to be playfully chatting (not about anything important, of course - just goings on here) with the small creatures as he slowly drifts around Nara. He's fond of them - in some ways they remind him of the shade.

He'd know that voice anywhere. He could pick it out in a thousand voices, and it's one of the voices he's really happy to hear. He drifts towards it, floating slowly so not to disrupt Thanatos, but he's also not trying to surprise him. After all, him with the little creatures is pretty adorable if Hypnos does say so. ]


Thanatos.

[ He stops floating and settles his feet on the ground. ]

Did you just get here?

Jin Ling | The Untamed | OTA

[personal profile] jinlingers 2021-10-02 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A. Behold the pearl


The view at Sarusawa Pond is one that is truly grand. Jin Ling hadn't expected to see something so beautiful honestly. He's stopped a few vendors for food and drink, now finding a place to sit and watch the sky. He finds a spot that's not very populated and Fairy settles down beside him as he feeds her little pieces of the snacks he'd bought.

"Have you ever seen anything like this, Fairy?" he asks the dog.

It seems they’re more alike than either of them realized because after a bit of wandering on his own, Sizhui sought a bit of quiet.

There is a moment when he spots Jin Ling and Fairy and thinks maybe he shouldn’t bother them.

However, he knows Jin Ling and he slowly makes his way over, eyes turned up to the sky as he gracefully sinks down to sit on the others free side, “It is quite beautiful.”

Wei Wuxian • Mo Dao Zu Shi

𝐴 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝐶𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝐻𝑜𝑚𝑒: 𝐺𝑖𝑜𝑛
      Though he normally resides in the dorms in Yoshiwara since it’s convenient to Sakuranbo where he works, when he visits Kyoto, Wei Wuxian stays with the geiko of Gion. It never hurts to observe some of their tips and tricks for enticing others. Tonight, Wei Wuxian is in the midst of the drunken antics.

      Though he boasts many layers and accessories of his own, he’s no match for the geiko. There’s nothing but laughter and half-hearted complaints when someone loses another garment. Wei Wuxian can be found cheering and laughing, even during his turns. He’s obviously lost a few rounds as he stands in only his white under robe and trousers. His usual black fare is piled carelessly in a corner.

      He smiles brightly and hooks his arm around whomever is passing by. “Why don’t you joins us for a game?”

𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝐷𝑒𝑒𝑟
      The deer’s blessing makes Wei Wuxian feel kinder than usual. And generous. So generous that he found himself slipping the crackers the deer crave into the pockets of friends and passers-by who get a little too near. It’s kindly meant; the deer are absolutely adorable when they leap! Each time they gather around some unsuspecting person, Wei Wuxian can’t help but smile.

      He also takes the time to feed the deer himself. They’re too cute to resist!

      “Hey,” he calls out, waving. “I have some extra crackers if you want to feed them, too.”

𝐵𝑒ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙
      Of course, Wei Wuxian is a romantic at heart. So, he can be found gazing at the moon near Sarusawa Pond. And also trying the food and drink at just about every stall. What else is he going to do with his stripper money? He thinks now that Lan Zhan’s here, he should start spending his money instead! The thought makes him laugh. After purchasing a sweet treat and an alcoholic beverage, he finds a seat near the pond to enjoy the moon viewing. Feel free to join him!

𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑑
      Have something else you’d like to do with Wei Wuxian, hmu!

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-10-04 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Even after realizing that humans weren't the true enemy during the events leading up to her death, that didn't mean Lucy was no longer wary of them. She had always found animals much more tolerable than people, so of course she found the tiny deer to be very cute. However, thanks to the deers' power, the walls Lucy often had around her heart when interacting with strangers were weakened. She'd already been feeding the little creatures crackers, but with how many of them were swarming, she quickly ran out.

"Oh, thank you. They went through all of the ones I bought like nothing." Lucy still doesn't smile, but her eyes are brighter and her face looks much more peaceful overall instead of having that perpetual gloomy look. "Please, let me buy you a drink or some food in return afterward as thanks."

dear deer - late as always ♥

Wen Kexing • Word of Honor

      How can Wen Kexing pass up a chance to make a mask that reflects his personality? He pays a visit to the temple in order to take part in this particular tradition of Nippon. He creates a mask in the style of a fox (what a surprise considering those are his kizuna traits). He doesn’t realize it (because he doesn’t know what Mardi Gras is), but his mask is quickly becoming something one would see at Mardi Gras. It glitters and sparkles no matter which way it turned and he’s presently adorning the mask with beads and feathers. Please, tell him how gaudy it is.

𝑂𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒
      Of course, Wen Kexing, being the lustful creature that he is, is being followed by a handful of gurakurage. He’s lucky his robes cover most of his skin or he’d find himself with some unwanted attention from the glass-jellies. They hover around him as he explores what Nara has to offer.

      “They’re rather lovely, aren’t they,” he comments to whomever is in earshot.

      Have something else you’d like to do with Wen Kexing, hmu!

"They are," Wu Xi agrees as he comes across Kexing. It's something rare to come across Kexing unexpectedly but he does wish for them to have more contact given how they both care for Zishu. He at least has come to trust Kexing won't be a point of harm for Zishu but still...

He glances at the glass-jellies, contemplating reaching out for one, wanting a better look.

"Do you know why they seem drawn to you?"

Nie Huaisang | The Untamed

[personal profile] eternalgrief 2021-10-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
A. Gurakurage


( ooc: tentacle sex, yes yes? bringing two together for more fun? Voyeurism? whatever! )

Sexual frustration is not a new thing for Huaisang. It happens very often in fact. Somehow, he'd come across a wild gurakurage and when he sees it latched onto him he doesn't know what it is but he wants it off of him.

Quickly he snatches at the glass jelly and the dome breaks between his finger -- his grip a bit too rough in the need to remove it.

Soon, he realizes the mistake he's made as the small gurakurage starts to grow larger and larger. "Oh shit," he comments to himself, and he starts to run off but a tentacle grabs him by the ankle and pulls him close.

B. Dear Deer


Huaisang finds himself very fond of the little deer that can be found throughout the area. He keeps spending more than he should on crackers to keep feeding the adorable things. At some point he buys quite a bit at once and then when he opens the packages suddenly there's not one or two of the creatures but he's swarmed by them.

They jump around him and are pressing in close and there doesn't appear to be any escape.

"Help?" he laughs.

Gu Xiang • Word of Honor

[personal profile] amethystfiend 2021-10-03 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
A New Home: Higashiyama

Gu Xiang hadn't really allowed herself to go out much, normally sticking close to Four Seasons Manor. If she wasn't hanging around Chengling then she was watching Brother Zhou. Of course, that doesn't mean that her master doesn't get watched too.

This, however, was new and interesting. Even if she wasn't entirely sure what exactly her inner self was like. Something fierce and protective. Something a bit more cat-like is what the mask starts forming features of.

Behold the Pearl

Food was something that the amethyst fiend enjoyed. However, she's more enamored with the moon itself than the food that she has. It was beautiful. Of course, she's not overly talkative. Which means that she's not bound to talk to a stranger beside her. It doesn't, however, mean that they won't get acknowledgement and a soft smile.

Wildcard

Anything else you want with Gu Xiang, throw something at me and we'll see where it goes.

"Here try this too," Chengling says to Gu Xiang when he finds her. He has some other sort of sweet treat that it doesn't appear that Gu Xiang currently has. He offers it out to her with a hopeful smile.

Gogol | Bungou Stray Dogs

[personal profile] quizpersona 2021-10-03 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I. Higashiyama: Melpomene & Thalia

[Gogol is a man who can appreciate masks. In fact, his usual one has been placed aside as he gets to work on this new masterpiece. Masterpieces, even. Maybe it's just that he's being indecisive. Because there are two that he is working on.

The first is overflowing with vibrant color. It's a real representation of unbridled joy or mirth. The second, on the other hand, wallows in sickly greys as it takes on the twisted up look of an unending moment of despair.

They're not unlike the classic masks of tragedy and comedy.

Gogol wants opinions. To the unfortunate soul nearest to him he holds the first mask over his face for a moment then replaces it with the second.]


Hmmm? Which one would you say suits me the best?


II. Dear deer: Please do a flip

[Unlike with the Arukibake Gogol does not try to punt the endearing little deer Ayakashi that try to follow him. Not once he learns what their deal is.

Rather, during the morning he indulges in feeding the deer because it's a novelty... By mid afternoon it's developed into a far more intensive production. To any passersby Gogol will be stationed under the shaded canopy of one of those giant trees, surrounded by multiple Saiwaika, and ardently teaching them to do tricks for food.

The first trick, if one sticks around long enough to watch, is to convince one or two of them to stand on their hindlegs and twirl. The actual Saiwaika that he asks to do it simply stares up at the clown expectantly while another frantically twirls behind that one in the hopes it will receive due recompense. Both recieve a cracker for their efforts. The next item on his agenda is to teach them to leap into his arms.

At some point Gogol must lose his footing... or perhaps he simply decides to gracefully keel over to the ground. The point is that he gets swarmed by the cute little creatures. Judging from the laughing coming from it he's not pressed.

It's an oddly wholesome image for an unwholesome individual.]

[Nyuu had just finished up her own mask, which has an ocean theme going on, when she hears a question being directed towards her. She blinks and looks up, watching as the man holds both masks over his face. She smiles.]

Wow, they're just like the kind I've seen on TV.

[She doesn't know what they're called, but she is indeed thinking of the classic tragedy and comedy masks. She hums thoughtfully and rests the tip of an index finger against her lips.]

Well, it's supposed to be for a festival, right? So I think the happy one with bright colors would be best. Plus it contrasts nicely with your pale features.

General Ouyang | She Who Became the Sun

[personal profile] theatrics 2021-10-03 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
𝐴 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐻𝑜𝑚𝑒: 𝑈𝑗𝑖
      Ouyang never considered himself particularly spiritual. Yet, he was a creature for whom respect had been drilled into him. He respected traditions, even if he didn’t believe the superstitions that drove them. Thus, he found himself at the Byodoin Temple with a small offering of brightly colored Autumn leaves. Unfortunately for him, most of them are shades of gold and orange, no fiery red.

      It isn’t until he leaves the temple that the world around him seems to desaturate, leaving him seeing in shades of grey. Ouyang pauses mid-step and blinks to clear his vision.

      The world is still grey when he opens his eyes again.

      Maybe it’s time to become superstitious.

      Dark eyes peer around, marveling at the people simply going about their day as if the world hadn’t lost all its color. He turns where he stands as others pass by, sometimes squinting as if that will help squeeze a drop of color back into the world he sees. Finally, he stops a passer-by. “Excuse me, what’s happened?”

𝑂𝑛𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑁𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒
      Arukibake naturally find themselves attracted to Ouyang. They follow behind him, along with the horde of ghosts that Ouyang is unable to see. The ayakashi, however, he can see… And pointedly ignores. He convinced himself long ago that his solitary, isolated life didn’t make him feel lonely. These walking ghosts indicate otherwise. Not that he’ll admit to it.

      Even more annoying than the arukibake is the outpouring of sympathy from strangers as he wandered through Nara. It’s tolerable until someone tries to do something physical like lay a hand on his shoulder or hug him. Ouyang jerks back violently with an overly aggressive, “Don’t touch me!” It doesn’t matter to him if he’s causing a scene.

𝑊𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑑
      Have something else you’d like to do with Ouyang, hmu!

Lumine | Genshin Impact

[personal profile] princyss 2021-10-04 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
One with Nature
    [For anyone who might be dealing with a gurakurage on this fine day, have no fear! Lumine is here.

    At least, that's the general idea of her stepping up with her sword spinning into a grip in her hand. She looks serious and focused, and whether the creature is simply lingering nearby and waiting to latch on, or has already latched on, she looks ready to complete the job.

    After all, if it's a monster, you simply have to defeat it. Right? Easy!]


    Stay still.

    [That's her warning as she rushes in, expertly aiming her sword to try and defeat this beast!]

    (ooc: Of course, it is up to you if you'd like to deal with tentacle shenanigans or lust, or if you'd rather stay PG13 with greed only. Let me know if you choose this!)


Behold the Pearl
    (i.)
    [Tonight, Lumine is wearing a kimono that was recently gifted to her. It's beautiful and blue, fading from light to deeper color, and has small stars stitched into the silk. Even the bow tied around her waist looks like the milky way itself, and with her hair pulled up and tied neatly to one side with fine, star-like accessories, she looks ready to celebrate the festival.

    She can be found making her way between food and drink stalls, wanting to try a little bit of everything, and doing her best to meet everyone she can. Familiar faces or strangers are greeted all the same, and she looks to be in a good mood. She may even stop people here or there, offering them a bite of food from her own utensils, held out with a bright smile.]


    Say "ahh"!

    (ii.)
    [Of course, after all of that, she wants to finish things off the right way. Slipping onto one of the small boats as the last person to ride, she makes herself comfortable in whatever spot she can. Next to someone, across from someone, or even on her own... It doesn't matter.

    At first, it's just the sky that she looks at. It's a beautiful view that makes her smile, and the excited chattering or silent appreciation of anyone else on board only serves to make her eyes warmer. But as she glances down, she catches the sight of the reflections in the water. The moon, the stars, and then the stars of her own kimono, the light in her eyes that vanishes after a ripple and causes her to blink slowly—

    That wasn't a normal ripple, was it? Even if someone urges her to stop looking, or tries speaking to her, she seems focused on watching as her reflection subtly shifts right before her eyes. In what appears to be a cloud of purple smoke and stars, her outfit in the water has changed to something far more similar to her usual, though more tightly fitted and ready for combat. The spots that normally glow softly like stars are tinged purple, as is the rest of her outline, her gloves are clawed, and her hair is decorated with what seem to be... starry purple horns? Like some kind of abyss monster.

    Not that she has any idea what she's looking at. Not in any memory of her own... But it's gripping at her from inside of her soul, and it's making her feel... strange, the longer she looks.

    She brings a hand to her head, breaking eye contact finally and trying to recover. And then, just like that, she's standing— and jumping into the water.]

[Kaeya hadn't quite realized that he was on the same boat as Aether's sister. He wasn't even sure why he got on the boat in the first place. He knew he could get a proper view of the moon from the shore, but he supposed he wanted to get away from the crowd for a bit. The boat only had one other person and he kept his distance for now, so he didn't get a good look at her.

Until he realized she was staring far too intently at the water. Kaeya had heard about the people jumping into the waters and needing to be saved. He tried calling for her but she wasn't listening. He had to think fast or she was--

Too late.

Kaeya was standing so fast and nearly overturned the boat dashing forward to her just as she jumped. His long arms circled her waist, yanking her straight out of the air and back onto the boat. The movement caused him to fall onto his back with her held close and he winced because that was gonna smart.]

Unfortunately, his demonic aura affects the deer just like any other animal, and the deer seem to be keeping their distance, yet stay at a close proximity because treats. Fortunately, they aren't so much avoiding him like an animal would. They still inched closed, only slightly skittish as he flinched, rather than run from him completely. These were ayakashi after all, and not entirely plain animals.

Perhaps Koro has a chance of petting one.]

With a Side of Depression
[The Arukibake were a similar situation. Following Koro around but keeping a distance. At this point, Koro was starting to take it personally. Come on, he wasn't that ugly!

He tries to pet one, but it flinches and steps back, stares, and eventually boops his hand with its face. Soon, the others follow suit, booping Koro with their faces, checking him out. When it was clear he was no harm despite the demonic aura, they all just started...booping their heads against him.

Perhaps it was a follow the leader sort of situation. They saw one do it, now they all gotta.

Least it made for a funny sight.]

and a horny beverage ig
[Perhaps what may stick out the most to others are the glass jellies that Koro ends up being surrounded by.

There's a lot.

And unlike the other creatures, these didn't seem to mind the demonic energy emitting from him, and surrounded him without hesitation. Koro was completely covered in the little guys, and soon gave up trying to swat them away.]

Jiang Cheng || The Untamed

One With Nature Narashi, Nara

[ With the new month and in autumn, Cheng is really making an effort to try and adapt to this place. He goes out, he learns more about the towns and the people, he attracts these annoying little spirits that do nothing but follow him. At first, he tried to subdue them but when one dissipated, three more took their place. So now he has about twenty of the multi-legged spirits trailing after him wherever he went and he's becoming increasingly disturbed when strangers start offering him good cheer and treats. ]>

"Uhm, n-no, thank you I don't--fine. Very well. Thank you for the wine."

[ He has no idea how to get out of this situation, much less remove the ghosts from his presence. ]


Behold The Pearl Narashi, Nara


Jiang Cheng is attending the party, half fearing that weird impulsions hit him again like the last one. And, secretly, he's hoping that maybe something will happen and Huaisang would be around when it did. The moon is a lovely sight with how big and full it is. It's also reflecting quite nicely in the water as well. The more he stares at the water, he starts to note there's changes in his reflection and in shock, tries to touch it on his own person, gasping when he realizes he can't feel what he sees.

Someone asks him a question, and there's a low growl in his throat as he's disturbed.
