recolle | [OPEN] April Catch All!!

WHO: Elda Marker and you!!
WHERE: Viea Village around her house, Bosuma, Respatrum, other parts of Recollé
WHEN: All over the month, though the prompts would be focused on like the 10th onward-ish? It's important to note night or day though! The Bosuma one is probably much later in the month.
WHAT: Elda's house has been replaced and then later on she reverts in memory to being a proper vampire if anyone wants to deal with that!
WARNINGS: Please hit up these permissions if you tag in though! In the fourth prompt (the Bosuma one) she'll try to attack people for blood (it won't kill them!) potentially and if people manage to have civil conversation, genocide might come up.

1: Ticketed Mail (Recollé City Prompt from event log)
[ Elda Marker goes out to get her mail this afternoon and... Well. Honestly she's not used to seeing mail in there these days it's just this thing she does in the late afternoon, pretending that her life can still be normal even as she needs to wear a wide brim hat and a parasol just to make it to the end of the driveway without breaking out in hives from the sunlight. That said, she does make it and finds...

A ticket. For in front of the Wiffle-Waffle, the mailbox? ... Well. I guess it's sure time for challenge accepted! She sets out in the late afternoon such that while the sun is still out, she'll make it back in time for making dinner for Toushiro and the sun not totally killing her. The thing is-

She does not expect biting envelopes of teeth on the air coming towards her. Or mountains of packages. As it turns out, her car is blocked by a pileup. So the rest of this quest? She'll have to be on foot! Will you be her stalwart companion? Will you be someone else she runs into who has their own quest? Let's survive. ]

2. Well that's... a house.

Oh hell.

[ Is what Elda Marker says when she makes it back to her manor in Viea Village. Or well, where it once was. If you're in the area, you might now notice that there's a new somewhat large forested hill right smack dab in the middle of a wealthy area of the residential district. There's a road that goes up the side of the hill at least! But ... it sure is dark, spooky, and a big-ish (maybe 50 meters in diameter and 20ish tall, plus trees) hill that is now here in a residential district with a new road leading up/around it to get to side streets and...

Maybe you're getting lost on the winding road up because you're curious? Maybe you see her? Either way, at the top of the universal-displaced Sekima Hill. But at the top of the hill is ... one house. Well, one manor. And it suits the vibe a lot here on top of the hill. Fortunately, all of Elda's furniture was put into the new house, but the electric is turned off for some reason and... well, stuff needs to be moved around.

... So you might also be following a Help Wanted sign she posted for people to hell with that. ]

3. Desiigner Shopping (Respatrum prompt from the event log)
[ So a whole new manor and while it's furnished with much of what she had around before, it's bigger and demands some more fineries. So let's just. Shop for new items. Some of which she does in the city - Towers, etc - but some of which... well. Respatrum's been good for her finding various set pieces and designer goods in the last month or two, so she's going there now defiantly.

... Which involves her climbing that later in the middle of the night, or at least after sunset. There's no way she could in the sun. Hope nothing she buys is possessed! Or nothing possesses her once she's there! Or you don't happen to be possessed with her! All of that would be awkward. ]

4. What's in a name? (Bosuma prompt from the event log)
[ Why is she out in Bosuma?

... Honestly, the reason is lost to her. Lost with the rest of her memories when she ventures too far inside. She takes the deal to fill in the holes of her memories, but the end result just leaves her confused about a few things. Why do her senses feel so dull? Why was she out during the day? And how dare this witch give her his challenge?

It was asking her to interact with humans. (actually it was demanding more than that, but... no.)

Well, first things first, she was going to get back to the city (... what was its name again? None of this was familiar?) and - well, she's not sure why she feels to groggy, but first things first, she needs to eat. So she'll be actively stalking out for someone who matches her blood type to get them. Silently, callously.

(feel free to notice her while she's doing that, either to you or someone else. Note that I don't want her to bite and get the blood of some NPC so that'll be a PC or not at all, I'm okay with both ways! Please note replying to this doesn't necessarily mean you have to lose blood because in fact she needs to resolve things peacefully to get her name back) ]

5. Wildcard
[ I'm more than open to play anything else with you guys!! She'd have every reason to go to Pesgare or Magatus as well and I'm more than down to work out more specific prompts with people. Contact me (

bigdamnhero) or just hit me up with something if you have an idea ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

What was that.

[ She groans, looking up at him while trying to keep her grip on the bronze ladder. She at least can have eyes without sunglasses here in the night, but... ]

One of those fire sprites...spirits.

[ Whatever they are. ]

...We're almost at the top. Can you move?

I... golly, I think so?

[ She laughs it off a little but ... wow, she feels. Things feel weird. Ugh. Fire spirits?? ]

Just take it one step at a time.

[ Akira takes a few rungs at a time, pauses to make sure that she's able to follow. ]

[ She does! Mostly. Her feet end up slipping off, oops? But she catches herself, able to flail a little until she is pulling herself up from mostly just her arms.

Okay...

She's got this... ]

[ He makes it to the top, but he'll reach a hand out to help hoist her up the last few runs if she needs it. ]

Take my hand.

[ She'll take it, but the grip of her hand, given her strength, might as well be a vice. The face is that she's groggy in the head, but her body is still quite strong.

Thank you... oh wait, she should say that out load - ]

Thanks! That's a real help.

[ She's also very light, 5' and like 90 lbs, so... not like the added lift is that hard ]

[ He's...certainly surprised by that--that grip--but he does manage to help her up. He has to wonder, is that a gift from Retrospec, or is she just surprisingly fit. ]

It's no problem.

[ Akira will try to stretch his hand out discreetly. ]

How do you feel?

Weirdly energized but also weirdly weak? It's weird.

[ That was way too many weirds?

But once up on Respatrum, she sits down on the ground with a long exhale and - well. She was fit, did try to keep up with herself? Even won that Ninja Warrior singles thing back in November. But right now, she's ... look she's way too thin. There's basically no muscle definition on her, insofar as one can tell from through clothing. ]

[ That certainly brings her vice grip under some scrutiny..."weak"? Hardly. ]

Really? I'd say that you had a decent grip, all things considered.

Oh, Christ, I didn't break your hand, did I?

[ . . . That's sure a question. ]

[ IT SURE IS. ]

...Is that a problem you have?

-No! I'm usually all over controlling my strength!

[ What. ]

[ So she is normally very strong for her...size. And she is having trouble controlling it? Not good. ]

I see.

[ Must be the fire spirit. ]

Are you feeling warm?

M-maybe a little?

[ Ahahah... Ha....

She laughs it off, looking a little on the sheepish side. Warm? Yeah, she does feel a little warm in the chest come to think of it. ]

...Maybe you should sit down. That...probably isn't healthy.

[ Having a fire spirit in your gut. ]

Oh please. I might be wonky, but I'm not going to collapse!

[ Laughing it off more, she finally brushes back some hair... and leaps to her feet. With that one, she's going to start stretching a bit. It's night, so she can move with impunity. ]

Well, if you came to get anything exorcised, you should probably start with yourself...but I doubt I need to tell you that.

Oh no, I came to see if the markets were still open actually? Or if they needed to have some clean up for being in the air now...

Exorcised?

[ She flexes her fingers. Man, she feels...

Strong? ]

...That's admirable, but I think we should get you looked at first. Here, I'll walk with you.

[ There's. Some serious concern here. ]

What, you know some Respatrum doctors?

[ I mean, she'll walk with him, but she so doesn't want to go down that ladder. That would be lame!! So instead, let's just get on inside... So yeah.

Let's go . . . !! ]

[ Good, walk with him. ]

Yes.

[ No, no he doesn't. But he'll check on his phone to see if an address comes up for one. ]

Or, maybe one of the shamans might make more sense, given the circumstances.

Oh do they have those? I've only ever talked with their merchants and smiths.

[ Heee hheee. Meeting a Shaman sounds a little fun. ]

[ She's enjoying this, isn't she? ]

That's who I came here to see.

[ He holds up a satchel, which has a haunted iPad. Yes, really. ]

We'll just have them see you first.

Weren't you leaving or something?

[ She bounces a little on her heels as they get in! But once she does, she decides to be a little bit more energetic, instead to tap him on his back. ]
