MARCH EVENT LOG
|
FOUNDER'S DAY The city of Recollé. With everything that happened in the last month, the townspeople are excited to proceed with their festivities as normal. The Mayor, though a little wary of public appearances now, makes his way through town atop his beloved Chocobo, Seabiscuit, a megaphone in his hand and shouting to everyone he passes. "Welcome to Founder's Day! Let's do our part and celebrate the city that we love." I. At noon sharp, the bands strikes up again as crowds gather around Tribunal Terrace. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the main attraction! That's right, it's time for the annual Founder's Day Parade featuring the city's newly elected royalty: King Yogi Perowna, Queen Kara Lee, Prince Kasen Kaneda, Princess Elizabeth Velveteen , Duke Garfield Logan, and Duchess Charlotte Williams. The marching bands play with gusto as they stride through the streets, the Recollé High and Recollé University cheerleaders right behind them. Beautiful floats follow in their wake, all decorated with flowers and depicting the historical events of the city. At the head of the parade is the Mayor on Seabiscuit, proudly trotting up front with the head of police, the head of the fire house and the rest of those who had been kidnapped following right after them on another float. Looking no worse for the wear, they're all smiles and grandeur waving and greeting the citizens of the city. At the end of the parade, the Mayor remains in Tribunal Terrace and steps up to the mic. "We would like to give a special thanks to those brave enough to venture into the tunnels to rescue us. Our captors have been dealt with and today we will honor our rescue team for their service." If present at this time, Eleanor Lamb, Yoon-sung Lee, Lucy Takada, Hinata Aoi, Sakura Tohsaka, Frederick Baudin, Tatsuo Kihara, Elizabeth Velveteen, Yukiko Amagi, Tatsuma Hiyuu, Jirou Hirata, Kenta Ooshima, Alexander Von Cumore, Rossiu Adai, and Kurt Wagner will be invited up to the front to receive a medal of honor. It's a shiny golden Chocobo. Like other Founder's Day celebrations in the past, several shops across the city have discount sales on items in the Towers, coffee drinks at Expressive, a marathon of historical films at Flix and more. Celebrate your home if you'd like. It's a nice break from it all. II. But what about those of you who have been city-bound for the whole month? What about those of you who have spent the last month exploring the boundaries outside of the city and helping to build the roads to new destinations? Thanks to the efforts of Retrospec users, several locations have now been stabilized and users may explore these areas to their heart's content. With Pesgare three hours south by boat, Respatrum an hour east and underground, Bosuma two hours west through the Recollé Woods and Magatus seven hours north from the city, visitors may come and go to explore the regions and their points of interest. The travel may take some time and the scenery will change around you as you go. Those same monsters from before continue to lurk just outside of the city and on the path to these locations and wild flora sprawls over various pathways. Take some time to study them if you'd like. And speaking of study, along the way you'll find various road signs and warnings along the way including giant man-eating frogs, fire-breathing horses, severe flood warnings and more. In addition you will find large directories in the middle of the road pointing you in the directions of the four locations. What's going on in these other places though? Well.... III. Over in Pesgare the fishing village has been saved from the hands of a greedy buyer and the villagers are in the midst of celebration. After the big rainstorm that occurred at the end of February, the seaside village begins setting out wares for sale in their marketplace that buyers may peruse. Items for sale include fish, paintings, clothing, books, handmade jewelry and more. On occasion though, you may find yourself in the midst of another rain shower as they come periodically in this area. While some of you may be prepared and have an umbrella on hand, others will notice that the rain is an iridescent color that falls and curves in arcs. Getting soaked by the rain may invoke a strange desire to cause a scene and yell dramatically at whoever is close by (and perhaps even belt it out if you're unfortunately unlucky), and so it may be wise to find shelter soon before you say things you'll come to regret. IV. Meanwhile in Respatrum the workers continue on down in the forge and begin creating new wares with the gems discovered by the exploration group from the month before. It's hot down here, boiling almost and the fires on all side means the heat's not letting up anytime soon. With caves and walkways and forges to explore, you may find yourself observing the creation of silver platters, swords, furniture and more. Further down in the region in one of the lower rings, you may hear the sound of loud cheering and applause as you enter into a large stadium. In the center of the ring is a man with a red cape, waving it in front of a burning, burly bull. A final flourish sends the bull back into its pen, raring and ready to go the next round. Who's up next? Why, it's you! Without warning the organizer of the bull fights grabs you by the shoulders and hands you a cape, shoving you straight into the ring with the crowd roaring above you and the bull bursting out of its cage. Think fast! Your life may depend on it. V. Out in Bosuma, the color's been restored to several of the flowers and trees and the people of the forest have been returned to their cottages. The creatures of the forest appear to be out and around including rabbits, squirrels, giant woodpeckers and rainbow-colored deer that aren't afraid to approach people. In fact, all of the creatures appear content to welcome these newcomers and show them around the forest. It's at night when the real show starts. Several large, blooming flowers begin to glow in various neon colors. For those who stick around and walk through the large gardens, they'll notice that colored pollen also appears to be falling from the flowers, leaving a mist over you that sweeps over you like a soft waterfall. Depending on the color though, you may find yourself feeling a little different...will you fight or will you embrace these sudden emotions? VI. Meanwhile things in Magatus are snowy and blustery as ever, but the townspeople seem to be in higher spirits now that their wolf problem is alleviated. With their shops open for business and the bright colors in the sky, the area is almost peaceful and perfect just to get away from it all. On occasion, you may see a black wolf darting in and out of the shadows watching over the town and the people coming to it. The path appears to be clear now and with a little navigating and a bit of a climb, you'll come across the newly up and running ski lodge. Plenty of cozy couches and fireplaces makes this lodge the perfect place to sleep and the rooms the original exploration team went through appear to be outfitted to be sleeping quarters now. Up on the mountain, however, there will be a fully operating ski lift and several mountain paths for all of you adrenaline junkies wishing to ski, snowboard and more. In fact, several of the locals will even begin teaching lessons and hold competitions for those of you into that kind of thing. Seems pretty safe, right? But the higher you go, the more you begin to feel like you're floating. In fact, the higher the elevation, the higher you will be lifted off the ground until you cap out floating a foot in the air. How are you going to get back down the mountain? Well, good luck with that. BONUS. Several of you may notice that the heart-shaped stone from February still hasn't disappeared. However, as the Founder's Day parade begins all emotional transfer stops. The heart's color seems to settle and all cracks and fissures are permanent. It's no longer in danger of cracking if you ignore your feelings, but it serves as a reminder that you should take care of yourself. Later in the day, all Retrospec users will receive a message from Zee. Assessment passed. We stabilized the four regions and you're no longer in danger of going native if you head out there. Feel free to explore and stuff. There's still a lot out there we don't know about, but it may be best to get a head start. The hearts will still project the thing that you love to the front of your mind so long as you hold it, but it's in no danger of shattering. Best of luck, Retrospecters. Welcome to recolle's March log! The prompts are simply loose guidelines for you guys to play with and make up your own fun adventures for the entire month! You may also create your own logs or inbox threads based on these prompts.This will be a fairly lowkey month meant for travel, exploration and recouping from the last month's event! As of 3/3 all groups will ICly be back in the city. The event feedback post will go up on 3/4 along with information about the new world changes that may take place and the upcoming quest board. Any questions you have regarding this event may be directed to the mod comment here. |

a.
b. A wild poodle appears!
V. The language of flowers and color
[ After learning about Bosuma, Leon has been very interested in checking it out. The beautiful garden immediately catches his attention and he decides to go investigate. While he's looking at the flowers a suddenly yellow misty pollen washes over him and he's silent for a few minutes. Soon enough, a smile curves on his lips but it's not like his usual smirk. No.... he's honest to god beaming with joy. ]
Gosh! This garden is stunning. ☆ It's one of the prettiest things I've ever seen!
[ ... Who is this guy and what has he done to Leon Zhong??? ]
Vi. Time for a ski resort episode
[ This is so much better than Respatrum and he wonders why he couldn't have been sent here instead? Please. He'll take the snow and cold anyday over the pit fires of hell. Given his rich family's background, he's been to plenty of ski resorts in the past. So while this wasn't anything too impressive in his eyes, it felt like heaven compared to the place he was at for a month.
With a snowboard in tow, Leon gets onto the ski life and turn to anyone that happened to join him with a condescending smirk curves on his lips. ]
Want to have a race down the hill?
[ Whenever he's not skiing or snowboarding, he can be found chilling by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. ]
Wildcard
[ Feel free to throw anything my way or ask me to write a unique starter for you! You can hit me up at

Get wrecked, Leon. ]
Ah, is that so? I didn't know you like flowers, Leon-chan. ☆ [ OH MY GOD ]

I won?
[Gar just stares kind of blankly. Though he had received a summons to report to the parade, he had been fairly sure it was some sort of formality that all the entrants went through. The grin begins to spread across his face as they hand him his regalia.]
Holy crap, I won. What do we get?! Do I get a key to the city? Can I be Mayor for a day? Wait, if I'm Duke, I outrank the Mayor! I want to give the Mayor orders!
On your knees, peasants, hahaha!
[i, open]
[During the parade itself, Gar spends most of his time flinging confetti at the crowd and behaving in a rather unseemly fashion for royalty. At one point, he climbs to the highest point of the parade float and flies down into the crowd to (his own) rapturous applause, growing enormous eagle's wings. A short while later, he sprouts octopus tentacles and waves at the crowd from four different directions.]
This is probably the greatest day of my life.
[Whenever the parade is done, Gar can be found with a stick he's picked up from somewhere, tapping his friends and also random strangers on the head while affecting a terrible British accent.]
What ho, you scallywag! Be a good chum and show honor to your Duke by offering him your sweetcakes and foodstuffs, what what?
[iv, open]
[Gar can be found holding a sword in awed wonder, his eyes starry and wide. Who allowed this? Why was Gar given the chance to be within 50 feet of a sword, let alone hold it? Who knows?]
Oh crap.
This is my destiny.
Gar Logan, superhero, wielder of a sweet-ass sword. ...Hey, can I borrow like, 5000 bucks?
[vi, open]
[Anyone standing at the entrance to the ski lodge will find their peaceful ski trip rudely interrupted by a tidal wave of snow spraying them in the face as Gar performs a sharp full stop atop a snowboard.
He actually seems to be pretty decent, judging from the fact that he's still standing.]
C'mon, let's get out there! Last one up the mountain's gotta do the double black diamond!

Queen? Really? Are-- Are you sure they didn't make a mistake?

[Sakura will be there to join in cheering for the parade, though not quite in high school to join in the cheerleaders given she is still in middle school. But she enjoys the celebrations and might poke around some of the stores to try take advantage of some sales prices.]
II:
It might be fun to go see these other places. I mean, we'd be more prepared, right?
[At least. In theory. Sort of. Depending on who she might go with and where, anyway. But still. Some of these places don't seem too far to go explore for a bit at least. But she was back in the city, so might be keen to try explore somewhere new (to her).]
IV:
[Well, Xiaolang had been here before so. Now she wants to see. She seems content and excited enough to watch the forge, and goes to curiously see what the cheering is. Only to end up flailing and wide-eyed in surprise at herself suddenly being involved with the bull fight.]
E-ehhhh? Hoeeeee?!
[She at least manages to leap out of the way of the initial charge, but Sakura is still decidedly very inexperienced with this. Only relying on instinct and her athleticism.]
V:
Wow! It's so pretty!
[The flowers and all. Let alone when the rainbow coloured deer approaches and she sees that. Sakura all but lights up in awe at it, letting it approach and then tentatively reaching to it, as if to pet it. Tentatively but also without necessarily considering this might be dangerous.
She's also quite fond of all the flowers, unaware of the pollen and those potential consequences.]
Bonus:
Hm? Oh! That's good. That the stones are okay now? Or. It sounds like it. I don't think I feel any different though? And well, missing is -- a lot of us are still missing a lot of memories from our other selves, right? So I'm not sure on that end....
[But she doesn't think anything is wrong? At least regarding the stone. Hers is fine and she feels the same as ever. More or less. Dealing with regains notwithstanding anyway.]
iv because SAKURA. SAKURA /PLEASE/
... but Sakura had wanted to see it, after what he had described for her when he got back, and so of course he had no other choice but to join her. Someone had to make sure she was safe from the lurking dangers there, and given he was already familiar with the place, he was the best candidate.
Of course, he had to have his back turned for FIVE SECONDS, trying to pick his way through this crowd of people in the stadium to see what the commotion was, when his ears picked up on a rather familiar (and distinct) cry of alarm from the middle of the ring.
GODDAMMIT.]
SAKURA!!
[And there he goes, drawing his sword and vaulting over the wall and into the ring, his sneakers slapping against the ground as he races towards her.]
Get AWAY from that thing!!
Look it isn't Sakura if she isn't somehow in the middle of things.
you're going to make him go gray at thirteen STOP
He would go grey earlier if they met at the age they did in canon? Be grateful Xiaolang?

Derek likes a good parade. It's loud, fun, and entertaining. He is actually excited to be back in the city amoungst the hussle and bustle. He has situated himself in a good spot on the street to watch the parade and he has an iced mocha in one hand and a funnel cake in the other.
Derek turns to you and grins.
"It's nice to have something fun once in a while right?"
Please forgive him if his cheeriness irks you. He's been in the forest for the past month and he was the oldest person amoungst a bunch of crazy teenagers and college students. Seeing other peoplek and being in the city is a good thing for him right now.
II. On the way to Pesgare
When Derek heard about Pesgare, he was interested in exploring it. However, taking a month of work destroyed any possible opportuniteis for vacation so he has to wait until a saturday to take the trip. Since it's a day trip, Derek only takes a small backpack with him with some survival supplies, but really he's travelling light for once. Derek has taken a seat out on the deck of the small fishing boat and is taking picture of the ocean. If you're sitting near him he's probably going to turn to you and start talking to you. You know, a way to pass the time?
"So, have you been to Pesgare?"
III: Singing in Pesgare/ Derek embraces his musical theater past
Derek thinks Pesgare is a cute little harbor side town. He has been exploring the shops and is having a nice time. That is, until he sees a village couple pass by and they are holding hands. It is when he realizes that his ex would have enjoyed visiting this village with him. This might have been a great place to take her out on a date, but it's too late.
Derek makes his way to a path that over looks the ocean. Thinking about his ex reminds him all that Retrospec has taken from him. How lonely he's felt since he got the app last September. Still, last month reminded him that he can survive things he didn't think he could survive. He continues to standand look at the boats on the dock when rain starts to pour down, drenching him. As Derek stands there, drench in some very questionalbe looking rain, he starts to sing
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
Will you sing with him or walk away?
III
Well this wasn't a karaoke bar. Still, that was a lovely voice.
Humming the tune a little, he gave a waggle of his fingers as if to invite him closer. Mostly to see if the singing would continue.
And let the embarrassment begin!

[ After the parade, Kaede decides to take some time to shop. With all the discount sales going on, it's the perfect time. So, she's out and about, looking at all the different sales. Eventually she ends up in a small shop selling accessories, and she looks at the hair pins.
Kaede picks up one that has three small flowers on it, but she isn't sure if it really suits her or not. Especially with the changes she's had. So, she turns to whoever is nearby! ]
What do you think about this? [ For those who have met her before they'll notice that her hair is now blonde, instead of the dark brown it was before. ]
iii;
[ Kaede is very thankful she thought to bring her umbrella just in case when it actually starts to rain. The iridescence of the rain is definitely new to her, and she watches it for a few moments before looking around to make sure there's no one left out in the rain.
If she does find someone without cover, she'll immediately go up to them! ]
Hey, do you want to share with me?
v;
[ When the flowers start to flow at night, Kaede is glad she decided to stay so long. ]
Wow, this is so pretty! [ The pollen is a bit of a surprise, but she holds out her hand to get a better look at it, noticing that there's different colors floating around. ]
vi;
[ After a while, Kaede notices that something's a little odd. Sure, higher altitudes can have side effects but this one is... strange. ]
Do you feel like you're... floating, a little? [ It was hard to notice at first, but the higher up she's gone, the feeling has gotten more prominent. ]
wildcard;
[ Feel free to do any other prompt you want! I can also write a starter for you1 ]
i
[ Since her own hair is a rather bright shade of green, which makes her stand out amongst the crowds that she wishes that she'd dyed her hair back to black, or at least wear a wig. ]

Might find a decent discount off of something.
[Yuu is more there for the potential sales. He's not a local or anything to be as invested in the actual celebration itself. Though he is there to watch, kind of curious all the same with the parade and cheering and all.]
II:
What is that sign even supposed to mean? Beware the...is it supposed to be a moose?
[Or something like that, with the antlers? He just might be distracted by the appearance of the vampyr though, swatting at it and raising his arm to defend himself, wincing as the bat tries to bite through his sleeve. He reaches for his hilt of his sword as he swipes his arm to try shoo it away.]
Get off already!
IV:
Wha-- whoa?!
[He's pretty sure the skis are supposed to stay on the ground at the mountain. The snow. Not.....like this. Not that he had been skiing before this but even so. He tries and fails to try stick the ski poles in the ground to give him some footing to try hold him from raising too high but doesn't quite reach, once he starts panicking and isn't confused or excited as initially.]
2
Are you okay?
[He'd better check if the other boy isn't hurt. That was really sudden. It's not safe here so they should be more careful. ]

[Kenta doesn't normally participate much in those types of celebrations, mostly because he's wary of crowds and he just doesn't really get the point. But Yogi was elected King for the Parade, and he kind of wants to see the people that were rescued and make sure everyone is alright, so he heads down - probably with Jirou.
And that's how he ends up on a stage being presented with a chocobo medal which he will accept and then almost run off stage. The most uncomfortable moment of his entire life, with all those people staring at him.
Eagle-eyed people might be able to spot the Japanese men in dark suits who immediately converge towards him as he leaves the stage and they usher him away rather quickly. But maybe you'll meet him - them? - again later on.]
V.
[Kenta remembers Li-Na telling him about the forest and helping people out there. So once he's more self-assured with the horse, he'll plan a day trip there. He's not particularly fond of exploring but he kind of wants to see what his friends were up to last month, plus there are some new people here who may or may not have more knowledge of Retrospec.
He was originally planning to go on his own, but if you spot him on the way, he won't reject company.]
[OOC : for people I have made specific plans with, a catch-all log will go up in a few days.]
I
Uh... Kenta! It's me, Derek! Are your body guards going to let me say hi?

[Byakuya had spent the last month in the northern region, and he returned just shortly before the Founder's Day festivities began. He only made a quick stop at his dorm to drop off his stuff, clean up and get changed. It's a special occasion, so he's decided to wear something he usually doesn't: the white suit that he received from his other life (ie what he's wearing in the icons). It's not the most pleasant return - not when he quickly realized that Kyouko Kirigiri, his cousin and closest confidant, was off the network. And he was also quite tired from the journey of the last month.
But he was not going to let that be an excuse to stay at the dorm today. He felt the need to go out and check out the Founder's Day festivities. For the sake of investigation for any clues or odd occurrences, and to check up on the people he's been separated from for the past month.
So he can be found by Tribunal Terrace, snacking on some popcorn as he watches the festivities ensue. If he sees anyone he recognizes, he'll try to approach them; if not, feel free to make smalltalk with him!]
II
[Sometime after Founder's Day, Byakuya decides to perform a preliminary investigation of the area directly outside the city. He's in no rush to head back to the likes of ice mountain, especially when he has so much school stuff to check up on, so he's not going too far out. ...But it is far out enough that he'll be cautious of his surroundings.
He glances around, hearing some sort of noise in the distance and looking towards whoever's near him.]
...Do keep your wits about you. [This could be someone who chose to come with Byakuya, or someone he's coming across by happenstance.]
III
[Out of the new areas waiting out there, Pesgare sounded the most pleasant. So Byakuya chooses to take a trip there sometime after Founder's Day - partly for investigative purposes and partly as a mini-vacation.
He can be found sitting at an outdoor table with an umbrella as he tries to eat some fish sticks and study at the same time. But then there's that odd rain that's falling. Is it... curving?]
...Now that's unusual. [Time to pack up his book just in case! Could anyone else be caught out in this rain?]
Wildcard!
[Feel free to come up with an alternate prompt or hit me up for plotting!]
ii
[ Mio is very much well prepared for most things, if only because of her slightly perfectionist nature. But also last month has taught her quite a bit about being prepared. Not that she wasn't before. ]

[It's a late Founder's Day, but still Founder's Day nonetheless! One of Kurt's favorite days of the year! Sure, he didn't get to be king of the parade again for this year, but it's cool. He'll deal. Especially when he's called up to receive a medal of honor from Mayor Mayer himself!
Sure, he had only attended that rescue mission in disguise, but he's sure that he could pass his actual self off as having been somewhere among the rescue mission's ranks. And so he wears that golden chocobo medal proudly around his neck! Afterwards, Kurt can be seen doing some wacky breakdance moves, signing autographs for people who recognize him from his time on Heckbusters and stocking up on snacks to chow down on! Kurt will be ready to talk to others during any of those actions!]
II
[Kurt stands outside the city's borders, dressed dorkily as he holds up a giant map.]
Man! Four different places to choose from. Which one will be sweetest vacation spot?
V
[Kurt eventually settles on a trip to Magatus! So, at some point after Founder's Day, he can be run into there! He can be found laying around at the ski lodge and nursing some hot chocolate.
Or he can be found outside, preparing to go skiing! ...Except that he's starting to go a bit too high up... off of the ground entirely!]
Wildcard
[Feel free to come up with another prompt or hit me up for further plotting!]

looking down the hill they’re on and sizing up the best path, eren puts his board and legs into place, talking out loud for his current slip partner(that u kurt) to hear. ]
Alright— so we’re going up to half a pound of jerky for this hill. [ the ultimate prize for getting to the lodge first, obviously. he was probably neck and neck, or even falling behind on kurt’s lead of wins now and he’s not sure how he wasn’t winning. he turns to kurt to make sure he’s ready, but when he’s about to ask, uh, what the fuck
are you literally floating. ]

Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round,

May said the door was in its side, and that hatch there certainly looked like one. But the...whale, ship, seemed rather impenetrable otherwise. After a long moment of peering up and down from prow to...tail, Lucy reached out a hand and knocked on the hatch. Maybe it would echo?]

[welp. her messenger bag is full of as many provisions as she can stuff it with, she's got a big sword strapped to her back, and Anna's ready to head out into the woods again. she can probably make it out to Bosuma in a couple hours, she figures, if she walks fast. as she stands looking at the sign and mentally charting her course, the warning signs also catch her attention. she scoffs, blowing hair out of her face.]
Now you guys tell us? Thanks for nothing.
[the sword should at least protect her if anything happens. as she turns westward, she catches something out of the corner of her eye that she wasn't expecting. and because she's already on her guard, she doesn't sound happy about it.]
Quit hiding or I'll kick your ass into next week. Not getting jumped by a cow again.
v. this is where we all should see red
[this is the absolute life. during the day, Anna's taking everything around her in. she's absolutely in love with how isolated everything is out here, and she's pretty sure she could stay in these woods for days if she'd brought enough stuff with her. no job stress, no people... she isn't even high and she feels way more at peace than she ever did. it's weird, but. she likes it a lot. so much that she just decides to lay out the cloth that her sword is wrapped in and take a nap right here on the ground. nobody's gonna bother her, right?]
[at night, it's almost better. everything is blooming and flowering and there's colors in the air and the stars are twinkling above her and she could really just live like this forever. until some flower sprays a bunch of red pollen in her face and she suddenly finds herself scowling. what the hell is its problem anyway?]
[she hears a noise of something or someone approaching and turns on her heel. rushing to grab the hilt of her sword that she still hasn't gotten great with, her eyes scan the world around her. she barks out an order.]
Get the fuck out here and fight me!
x. for you it's a different notion (closed to Astin)
[Anna's got her big-ass sword here for testing purposes, and she brought along with her a lot of super tattered, old clothing—mostly t-shirts from bands she says she doesn't listen to anymore—in a messenger bag around her shoulder. she'd given Astin the best way to find her in the woods, though she's not especially deep into them right now. it's just enough to keep them away from any bystanders.]
[her sword is still a little too heavy to comfortably hold in one hand, so she has it resting on a flat rock next to the one she's sitting on. the engine block hilt at least makes it easy to set down. she gestures at it; the blade is facing away from both of them, but still shines in the sun.]
All right. You wanted to see it? Here it is.

[Nanashi comes out of from hiding and reveals himself to Anna. She may notice that this guy's just a kid who's wandering out here all alone. He doesn't look lost though. The bag of supplies and map indicate on his person indicates as much. ]
Just don't kick my ass or anything. I'm not into that kinda thing.
[Please spare him, Anna. He doesn't want to die young. ]
What's with the big sword? Are you into weapons?

[Despite everything that happened last month, it was a relief that everyone has a chance to enjoy Founder's Day despite being a month late. It was even better at this year's petting zoo. Not only there were Chocobos like last year, but there are now horses for everyone to ride on, which was sort of normal.
Not only that, the main attraction for this year was the appearance of Augustine's Pokemon. Because he got Feu and Bulle a few months ago, his only worries about it are controlling the kids from unknowingly hurting them as he was aware that they think that the Pokemon are just normal things in Recolle. Whether you're here for the horses and Chocobos or for the Pokemon, Augustine is there to help out your animal (or Pokemon) needs.]
III. Trading Time!
[It’s been a while since he returned to Pesgare after that small adventure last month. He had to use his free time after work to travel back there to relax and mingle with the locals. Of course, he didn’t forget the marketplace as he brought some of his old books that were left hanging back in his apartment. He knew it’s about time to replace these books for something new, so what better way to do so is to trade some new ones that he found during his stay.
Though, if you encounter him by chance, he might drop his books out of shock and picks them up after recovering from it.]
O-Oh... I’m really sorry about that.
WILDCARD
[If you want other prompts, just contact me either on
yogi | ota
[ Yogi had wanted to come to the parade, having never been able to go before, and he got way more than he bargained for. Turns out - he's the king! He even got a cute crown and everything. Naturally anyone on his contacts list was told, and he practiced his courtly wave the night before - all of which went out the window the next day with his enthusiasm.
Luckily, he has just the outfit - one he's been working on from his most recent collection. It was originally fitted for Biffy, but didn't look to bad on him - white, dark emerald green, and gold. The green, when the light hit it right, had a checkered pattern running through it; the entire suit designed with a careful, precise asymmetrical look.
Throughout the day he would go to the different stalls, trying out the food or watching the films. And he's always happy yo share some treats! ]
iii - rain rain go away
[ Curious as ever, Yogi took a day to go explore the new village. He took his time wandering through the stalls, taking pictures of things that inspired him, buying pieces of clothes or jewelry here and they struck him. He seemed to pay special attention to certain fish and their coloring at times.
The rain caught him by surprise and he dodged inside the nearest building or the nearest awning, partially soaked from his quick run. Oops. At least he doesn't seem prone to yelling (yet) though he is watching the rain with delighted awe. Seriously, like a puppy or something. ]
iv - out of the pan...
[ He wasn't sure what to expect when he came to Respatrum. Mostly he was curious, and had thought it would make for a nice day trip, nothing more. He went through the shops, though he honestly wasn't find much of interesting, and more than anything he just wanted something cool! ]
Do they even have ice in this place?
[ Later he finds himself in the stadium, which he finds he instantly dislikes. They're being mean to that bull! It's not nice to tease, and that bull looked really mad. Not wanting to watch any more, he turned to go - only to be pulled down and tossed into the arena himself. He squeaks as he's handed the red cape and the crowd roars, looking around desperately to try and figure out what was happening.
He looked towards where the bull grunted and roared and he gulped.
Oh. ]
N-no you have the wrong guy! I don't know how to do this!
v bosum - paint with all the colors of the wind
[ Of all the places outside of the main city, Bosuma had to be his favorite. There was so much inspiration to be had, and he felt oddly at home int his place full of nature and its bright colors. He can be seen taking photos of all the creatures and flowers he comes across. Other times he can be seen simply kneeing down and letting the creatures eat off a lunch he had packed for himself and some snacks. He seems especially drawn to the deer, as unafraid of them as they seemed of him.
He wanders the gardens at night, drinking in the beautiful colors and smells. He can often be found just sitting and admiring the display, or slowly meandering his way through. Are those tears sometimes? No, no you're imagining it. Nothing to see here as he wipes his face and carries on. ]
I wonder if they have any you can take home...

[Who's that walking down the path back into Recolle? Why, it's Kamui Brisby. He seems entirely too content and energetic for someone traveling alone. He's practically skipping with glee. Anyone who knows him will wonder what he's up to. They won't have to wonder for long.
Tucked beneath Kamui's armpit is a road sign. The yellow sign depicts the silhouette of a fire-breathing horse, and the sign itself has been removed from its post with the use of some serious power tools. These tools are probably what's in the duffle bag hanging from Kamui's opposite shoulder.
As Kamui hums to the rhythm bellowing from his earphones, he does a little victory hop. Whether the right response is to pretend he doesn't exist or to confront him about his unique souvenir... That's anyone's guess.]
iii. let's get embarrassing
[Kamui is near the lighthouse when the rain hits. He has an umbrella on him - a deep purple Chinese parasol - but he doesn't use it. He's too busy staring at the rain itself. The water droplets shine as they swirl and arc to nature's rhythm. It's almost like the rain is dancing, expressing all of its grief in a performance that ends in death when it finally slams into the rocks below.
This is a terribly dramatic thought for Kamui. He doesn't notice.
He's already moving forward - one slow step at a time - until he reaches the edge of the water. Rain drums against the ground, waves churn at his shoes, and music begins to play in Kamui's head.
All of a sudden, he whirls around to face whatever poor onlookers happen to be present. He takes a firm stance, digging his heels into the dirt. Then he starts shouting.]
Why can't they let me be?
Why don't I know what I am?
I force this hate into my heart 'cause it's my only friend!
My lips are sewn shut; I watch myself bleed!
They push and pull me, and it's killing me within!
[Well? Apparently, it's your turn.]
iii
But he hears something that gives him pause. Singing? He feels something welling up in his chest as he walks to find out where it is coming from. The feeling continues to burn in his throat. He looks to Kamui's violent singing and does something he normally wouldn't.
He laughs. Because if there is one thing that causes a great scene it is the sound of his laughter. When the laughter dies down, he starts singing and a completely different song. ]
I am nothing special.
In fact, I am a bit of a bore.
If I told a joke, you probably heard it before.
But I have a talent... a wonderful thing...
Cause everyone listens when I start to sing.
I'm so grateful and proud.
All I want is to sing it out loud.
[ Take it away, Kamui. ]

I / Bonus: Festival Day
[ Some of her people got back today, some got back yesterday, some... well, there's a lot of people who are filtering back here. It's with that in mind that Natalia (keeping her heart stone in her bag, but is surprised as people aren't turning her head to her... ah, is it finally off now? Is she more stable? She's not sure) makes her way to the parade. The parade itself is actually super fun. It always is! A little tacky, but she's enjoyed it all the years that she's been in the city. She goes out shopping, maybe catches one or two of the Flix... you can see her during any or all of this but also-
Man, those people on the stage. Some of the royalty she knows this time and she also knows some of those people getting medals? She whistles and cheers for them and generally just keeps and upbeat day. This lasts all the way until it's actually much later in the afternoon, after she reads Zee's text. ... They're fixed, huh? And we passed?
When she sets her phone down, she takes out her heart stone, sitting on a public bench so anyone can witness it: it's a dull gray color, only the lightest tinge of red in the mix there. It's got a fissure running down the middle of it, as if were going to fall in half. But it's over now, huh? She feels her feelings for animals in it, and she mutters, ]
So we passed, huh?
II: Adventure in the great wide somewhere
[ So they passed. And perhaps more importantly!! The outside of the city is still there (well, the current "layer" of it, anyway) and while she still can't call home, she does end up exploring that area out there. It's to the north that she ends up going more often than not, the rough direction of home. But her goal is actually a lot less to simply wander and more to investigate the monsters.
Anyone is free to join her (perhaps invited, perhaps by chance) but with some gear and binoculars, when she's got the time between school and work to do this, she's heading out there and trying to get a grasp for the new ecology out here in the woods, or in the regions along the roads. Where do the packs of Beowulfs sleep. Do the Blue Eyes have nests anywhere, and how do they hunt? Where do those balls with mouths fit in? She's so curious. ]
III: Let's see the village
[ So Pesgare. Astin was out there and it sounded fun if a little bit boring, like they had said. But going out to any of the other places sounds dangerous and really, she considers just heading out there. There's a convenient enough ferry over there, so she heads out to the docks and...
Well, boats over.
She's got a smile on her face as she does, asking people on the boat: ]
So, have you been there before? What do you think we're heading into?
[ But once there? Well, she's here for it all! The shopping! The rain! Looking around for strange fish and taking pictures! Andddd... well, singing battles, if you want to do that. ]
ii!!
Natalia. [ she doesn’t answer, maybe too marveled by whatever monster was there to take her attention away. ] Natalia, that’s too close.
[ she probably isn’t, but safety precautions!!! ]

[The parade and celebration is nice and all, but after the last month, Freya just wants to be home. She stops briefly at the parade to make sure the fire chief really has returned unharmed, then marches on off to Wiffle Waffle with one of those strange Retrospect tickets.]
[It's not much later she's found leaning against the corner of a building, shoulders slouched, staring at the sidewalk with a dazed expression. A simple necklace with a small crystal pendant dangles loosely from her hand.]
Luna
[At least, she thought, lounging in her seat as the bus began to rumble and move, this would just be a short trip. Or as short as a two-way seven hour bus ride could be.]

[The Founder's Day parade has always been a nice event. Robin can get some coffee, walk around, and catch some of the sales. After she gets her coffee she's deciding on what she should do next. She could go to the historical movie marathon, but she's not the biggest fan of historical movies. They always leave something important out for the sake of the story. Well, first she's going to visit one of the shops then go to the movies.
A) If you run into her in one of the shops she'll ask your opinion about something she wants to buy for her apartment. She may be eyeing something cute, yet she doesn't want to go over to pick it up. Maybe suggest it?
B) If you run into at the movies, you'll find her in a rare time where she's indecisive. She wants to see how bad the movie gets historical facts, yet she doesn't want to face this alone. Maybe join her?]

[When Robin heard about the fishing village in Pesgare she decided to pay the place a visit. It's a cute little town with interesting books for her to read, food to try, and clothes too. Luckily Robin was able to get inside before the rainstorm started so she can look out at the water. She has a book in her lap and tea on the table next to her it's a nice time. However, she does have some questions about this town, if anyone would like to fill her in. Or you could come and chat with her. She wants to learn more about this fishing town and why someone was so eager to buy it.]

[Robin visits Respatrum next, taking in the caves and walkways. She does notice how hot it is that she's glad she didn't take many things with her down here. She can't believe something like this wasn't that far away from the city. She goes over to check out the creations of silver plates and swords. If anyone is close to her they will hear her say:]
There's no documentary that can compare to watching this in person.
[She's going to walk around to watch more of the forges. Maybe she can get something for her apartment too.]

[When Robin goes to Bosuma, she notices that it looks like something out of a fairy tale. The trees, the flowers, the cottage, and the friendly forest animals that are showing her around the forest. She's not dressed like a princess, though she does feel like one with everything that's going on. She does notice that it looks like someone added some color recently to the areas. She can't remember a forest looking like this. During the day, she's distracted by the kind forest animals. At night, she goes to check out the giant flowers, where she takes note of the large gardens. When the pollen washes over her she looks down at the blue on her arms.
Well, that's something, she frowns a little as she stares at the color.]
Did the pollen shower hit you too?
[She knows she can't be the only one.]
[VI.]
[The last place she goes to is Magatus. She's not one for the cold, but she wanted to check this place out. She visits the shops during the day, buying little things that she can keep away from Mimi, though she can admire. One day when she returns to the inn she does notice a black wolf. Robin doesn't think much about it, it has to be one of the animals in the area after all. When she returns to the inn she takes out her bag from the shop to look at the things she's bought.]
Now I should look to see what kind of books are around.
[Anyone is free to help her look for them!]

On one hand, he likes watching them. They're entertaining, and sometimes pull up pieces of history most people would forget to the tides of old white cis men. On the other hand, they're usually made by middle aged white cis men, and thus the details are left out. Or they want happy endings for the hero, when history doesn't have any of those.
... on a third hand, though, he likes riffing them. And who better than Robin?
Kon spots her, and perks up immediately. ] H~ey, bobyshka. You goin' in?
