[ OPEN/MINGLE ] BRRR IT'S COLD IN HERE

[crudest]

WHO: Baren Kaiyou & you! or you and whoever!! it's Mingle Time
WHERE: Rando Ice Cream Shop & Magatus!
WHEN: throughout march! time is a mystery.
WHAT: ICE CREAM PARTY - but also please meet the world's most beautiful moose, Boose. everyone's welcome to the ice cream party in Part A and specifically anyone on the group 1-4 mission list would've gotten an invite to free ice cream if your chara needs more incentive to come!
WARNINGS: SHOULD BE NONE??

A : I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM

[ We all scream for ice cream! It's one of those neatly aesthetic ice cream parlors that normally has a line out the door in the middle of the shopping district. yet depending on the time of day, the chalk-sign might say in a neatly curling cursive: free ice cream on Zee Carlisle!

... that second part's not true, of course. But who ever said that Baren's honest?

Additionally if anyone had gone on a mission over the month to one of the four regions - they'll get a special text invite to free ice cream. :') good job, y'all.

i ) That said, the first part is! There is definitely free ice cream being offered out to anyone on the Retrospec app. What flavor's caught your eye? Pecan Cherry Pie? Wildberry Mango Chocolate Delight? ... there's normal flavors too, but you really should adventure out a little bit, don't you think? At least don't freak out if you find a surprise gummy worm inside.

... or do. Baren miiiight be recording it.

ii ) The owners are feeling generous - or at least Baren is. Enjoy an extra scoop or - five? Did you get more ice cream that you asked for? Tanuki-san is sitting around, eyeing your mountain there. Wanna share? Careful and don't let it fall or else we're looking at a food fight situation on our hands...!

iii + chuuya ) Now if anyone's looking for Baren himself when he's not sticking gummy worms into the ice cream trays or otherwise fucking around, he's probably more toward the back of the shop. He's not alone. ]

If you try to feed me, I'm going to lock you in the freezer.

[ - is a wonderful thing to say to his boyfriend (doublesmall) who's sitting on his lap because what's a PDA? A topping? This is fine.

(ooc: tagging order for this prompt if you want to suffer through that would be you -> Chuuya -> Baren!) ]

B : STANDS FOR BOOOOOOOOOOOSE

[ The bus ride to Magatus is 7 hours long. Rather than using the usual bus - there might be dried blood on those seats? - Baren has booked a party bus. Yeah, there's probably a disco ball and a stripper pole. He doesn't intend on using it, he just thought it was funny to have.

i ) Did you even know what you were signing up for when you climbed on? Baren has picked one of the seats in the back - yawning as he looks almost ready to set in for a nap. Yet when he makes eye contact with you, there's a raise of a brow and - ]

Can I help you?

[ ii ) Welcome to Baren's Winter Wonderland Tour! If you've chosen to follow him on this journey for... some reason - this is where he's led you. If you didn't bring enough jackets for warmth, don't worry about it - he's tossing a designer coat to you without even hesitating. ]

Don't think you get to keep that, okay?

[ The price tag is probably more than some people make in a year.

Regardless this is when they'll be joined by a lumbering presence - a big, giant, beautiful moose. Charging through the snow.

It's worth noting that this moose has beautiful, colorful flowers woven into his antlers. They don't look like they're about to wilt any time soon.

... don't question it?

He probably won't run into you. He'll probably stop.

Otherwise Magatus is free to explore! ]

[ ooc: a catch-all throughout the month! feel free to create your own top-levels if you want for the ice cream party/magatus exploration though! i'm running this as free as i can. ]

[ ?!?!?!??!?! ]

Wh-- [ WHY ARE ALL OF HIS IMPORTANT PEOPLE GETTING IN TROUBLE. nazuna looks vaguely panicked for a minute before he just. drops his face into his hands with a tiny, stressed-- ] Unyaaa...

[ why. why all of this! why is retrospec like this!! give him a second to compose himself so he doesn't stutter all over the place, okay...

eventually: ] ....I'm glad you're okay, even if you're way too calm about this, Akechin...

[twostringsonebow]

Ahaha... Secchan said something like that too once, I think, how I'm too calm about the sorts of situations I find myself in. I just don't see the point in making a fuss over things I can simply accept instead.

[it's. it's actually a defense mechanism. just a "well this is my life now" sort of mechanism so he doesn't freeze up at certain parts of his life.]

Besides, it really was nothing compared to the skeletons I mentioned before. Just some power hungry jerk with a bit of lightning in his fingertips. Safely captured now, by the way, in solitary confinement indefinitely.
