[OPEN] + 2 Closed Prompts
WHO: Natalia Fairweather and anyone else! (plus Cleo and Astin closed prompts)
WHERE: Around the city (specific prompts for her apartment
WHEN: Primarily the 15th/16th but to people staying in the city one prompt can go for the rest of the month and one prompt meant for them in the aftermath
WHAT: Natalia has a busy 15th and 16th for belated valentines and then begins on a journey of self-discovery for the rest of the month
WARNINGS: None I don't think?
1) This is where I stock up [Some convenience store/on RU campus]
[ The morning of the 15th. She's been texted/called/etc by at least some people that the people on the missions are going to be back for a day. Noon on the 15th until noon on the 16. That's... not a a lot of time, honestly. It's both not a lot of time and in no way fits into either her campus or work schedule so she's... just going to ditch both, honestly. So early in the day, the earliest possible office hours you'll find her coming to or from a professor's office to get some notes from today and then sighing profusely before she bunkers down on some bench.
And then later at a store buying a... large... amount of Five Hour Energy or other such stimulants. Someone is just intending to not sleep because who needs that shit??? She has friends and family to see, dates to have, and generally just needs to make the most of the day. ]
2) The day in question [the 15th/early 16th anywhere]
[ Are you one of Natalia's friends or family? Some people she's talked to before? While she does have a large stretch of the afternoon and evening of the 15th spoken for, she is going to track down you and try to see you in person, just so she can say she saw you at least one last time? Given the time constraints involved this may or may not involve a text or meet up at like six AM or whatever other shenanigans? The longer this goes though the most obvious it is that she's running on empty by the noon point of the day.
... This is a vague prompt to allow for anything in terms of tag ins here but if you want me to make a custom thing just contact me. ]
3) When the clock strikes noon + 1 minute [Some cafe or diner]
[ So it's the last moment, people have gone back to work and she's...
Burnt out. Tired, but ultimately satisfied. The end result is that Natalia, holed up in some familiar diner or cafe (maybe one you're at, maybe one you can see her in the window of) ends up setting her head down on the table, intending to just rest is there and then...
Falls asleep. ... Sorry everyone. She might need to be woken and/or escorted home. ]
4) As I consider this sword [Some gym/dojo, the outskirts of town, or a park at night]
[ So Natalia got a small sword the other month. And then she got a surprise change to her physiology earlier in the month: her body more toned and muscular. Tight and refined but... barely noticeable unless you're looking for it but she's increasingly found incredibly potent.
... And so.
She ends up practicing with this sword. she's got no idea where to do it though so she just kind of walks/drives out to some likely looking place or uses a part of some dojo or gym where she's not going to get too many weird looks and starts trying out sword thrusts with it. Or... conducting? What the hell is she doing with that sword, working it like a conductor's baton? ]

[ . . . Which she knows sounds completely insane but that is what their lives are now. She says it somewhat sheepishly, unlocking her phone and going to the images to see - ah, right, she didn't have a photo of that bird, but she does have some others. ]
no subject
[ Astin leans over, nudging their shoulder against Natalia's as they try to get a look at the pictures. ]
No fair. I wanna fight giant metal birds!
no subject
[ It's said before she can stop herself and she can hear Natalie telling her she's the mom friend in her head before she groans and then just opens the pictures. Mostly it's of terrain - landmarks along the paths to the different regions people were in: fields, hills, rocks, a beach, forests, snow, and a desert. But there are other things there. Some odd or beautiful plants she found and then...
Yes, some monsters from the distance. A pack of these things running across the sand is the first one. ]
no subject
[ Astin seems a little cowed by Natalia's words and they slump a little, half-draping themselves on the girl while they peer at the pictures. As the monster finally pops up, Astin blinks. ]
Oh, shit. That's... that's pretty intense.
no subject
They're beautiful though. The way they move... they can go really fast even over sand.
[ One, two, three more images of them - all from quite a distance though! ]
no subject
[ Astin snuggles up a little closer to keep looking at the pictures, their head nudging into Natalia's shoulder. ]
...Seriously though, it's nice to be home for a little.
no subject
[ But all the same...
She leans into Astin's lean, enjoying the snuggling feeling with a smile. It's a simple mood, this, and she... well, it's warm. She likes it. ]
no subject
They're so... so that kind of stuff is out there, huh?
no subject
[ With an air of "aren't they beautiful?" Which might be somewhat at odds with this thing on screen, which has a blurry photo of it coming closer and then two more of it snapping its pincers outside the door to her car. Or of a large even by the standards of elephants creature walking through the edge of a snowy forest, scaring off some smaller species. ]
no subject
Ahhh this is so cool! We're not seeing anything like this where I am. Just a lot of seagulls.
no subject
[ . . . She's way too much of an animal lover ]
no subject
[ Astin sprawls out a little more, nuzzling more firmly into Natalia's shoulder. ]
I missed home though.
no subject
[ She says a bit leading-like, pressing the power button to put her phone in sleep and then shifting a little as she lets it drop. She's only got the one arm right now, her left arm's prosthetic not in so that's just a stump... hmm. She could move the right (the shoulder Astin's on) to wrap around him, but ... well, no, let's just do that, she'll do that and rest it around their torso.
Obvious they meant all the creature comforts of home, but with them practically draping on her, what else was she supposed to quip with? ]
no subject
[ Astin is reluctant to open up most of the time and doesn't have many close friends. Mostly just a lot people they know. ]
...Sorry if that's weird.
no subject
No, no! Actually, I'm glad someone was thinking about me.
no subject
I think about all my friends.
[ Not that they have many... ]
no subject
I'm sure! Still, I'm glad to have gotten you tonight!
