[mingle] world three: claws & fangs.

world three:
claws & fangs.


With the Space at your back, your next step lands on the soil of a winding footpath. It seems you just missed a sunshower: light shines through the raindrops clinging to the lush canopy overhead, dappling the ground and your fellow travelers in midday sun. Trees are in full flourish everywhere you look, filling the air with the light fragrance of fruit and flowers. Fresh breezes contrast with the warming spring air, and birdcalls overlap softly with a burbling, full stream. In the distance, the sound of wooden wheels shake down a packed dirt road. If you peek through the vegetation, you may be able to make out ornate carriages drawn by oxen or horse. Smaller wooden rickshaws weave through the traffic, and if you're lucky, you may spot one of the rare cars (not a seatbelt in sight!) puttering its way through.

As Original Individuals take inventory of the world around them, they'll realize that there's a letter in their pocket...?

Or Are You Just Happy to See Me? (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)
(*´ω`)o Here we go again! This might be a refresher for some of you buuuuut!

If you want any chance of going home again, to your family, friends, loyal dog or whatever, you're all gonna have to try to put yourselves back together! The easiest way to do that is to regain the pieces of yourself that you've lost - and those pieces are gonna be more likely drawn to your soul the more you feel.

That's right! Feelings! You lone wolf types are probably shaking! (ꐦ ಠ皿ಠ )

The same is true for all your sweet ol' friends who have tapped into the alternate version of themselves here. (」゜ロ゜)」 They have to experience meaningful moments in order to regain pieces of themselves too! So laugh! Cry! Question your meaning for living! Don't lose sight of the goal which is to just like, experience stuff really. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ All you've got is each other!

Don't get too downtrodden if they don't recognize you right away though - your bonds will never be broken, true friends are never that far apart, kyahhh. o(*≧□≦)o .... aka they're more likely to want to talk to you than you think.

And besides, you'll only all be able to make it home if you all collectively regain enough pieces of yourselves. ヾ(o✪‿✪o)シ

Yayyyyyyy. (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧ Teamwork. Make use of Home Base to touch base with each other if you can!

(*・▽・*) A. Ny. Who.

Welcome to Kōun, the Blessed Country. Look out overhead. (・□・;)


Original Characters will then find themselves with a semi-brief summary of what their Remixed life would have been - and this time around it includes a helpful sentence blurb for each of their relationships to others, as well as the climate of the town around them, recent politics included. For those of you who haven't crafted possible Remixed lives, you'll only get:

( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) Um… Backstory not found?

Just do yourself a favor and don't wander onto the wrong side of town. Kind of a big deal around here. Whoa! Deja vu!


The tiny country of Kōun, so named for its lucky and prosperous lands, sprawls out before you. A few steps in and the path splits off, leading in two directions. One branch goes toward the oceanside town of Umite, while the other heads up to the mountainous town of Yamate.

Umite offers a vivacious scene. The weather here is warmer with very little cloud coverage most days, but the sun is tempered by a constant, cooling breeze. The ports are noisy and hopping with business. Bars and restaurants are always full, and parties and gatherings often spill out onto the streets. Here, humans and demons thrive together with minimal conflict. You're just as likely to run into demon employees and patrons as you are human ones in any given establishment. Houses and businesses are often only one or two floors tall and closely packed together, made primarily of bamboo and sturdy woods. Many locals take to decorating their places with wind chimes, colorful fortune kites, and banners. Modern amenities like electricity and plumbing are also common.

Head out to the white sand beaches and you'll find a large and popular bonfire area used for picnics, sunset drinks and fireworks after dark. Up the boardwalk is a small aquatic history museum for those who need a break from the liveliness of the town. It offers intriguing displays of fossils and preserved specimen of ancient, long-gone creatures. Clusters of boating merchants gather around docks and ports, waving and giving a jovial holler to people who pass by. They sell everything from deliciously fresh fruits and fish to hand-crafted pots to exquisite jewelry from their floating shops. From sunrise to well after sunset, Umite is alive and bustling. But surely there's more to these towns than meets the eye.

Yamate provides a stark contrast. With the forest's canopy so thick in the mountains, the sun offers less heat the deeper you travel. The light here is thin and the temperature is on the cooler side year-round. There's a tendency for fog and mist to gather around its peaks. Locals to this area have not had as much exposure to cultural blends as Umite, so tension between humans and demons is more palpable here, and people seem a little more likely to keep to themselves in general. The businesses and homes of Yamate are much more spread out and spacious, with the building materials of choice being white marble and stone. Residents seem to favor pristine appearances and clean aesthetics, along with open-air designs and high ceilings. It's quite common to find a shop or home with glass-less windows and patios that open directly into the surrounding forests.

One of the biggest draws of Yamate is an enormous meditation chamber. It offers patrons the chance to calm their minds in times of stress, clean their energy, and center their spirits. Another popular destination is the acoustics hall located between the two oldest trees in the forest. It's a perfect place for any musically-inclined folks to practice their instruments or de-rust their pipes, as it offers perfect resonance. Further up in the mountains, an expansive bonsai garden is open to the public. In addition to rare species of trees and a legendary sakura that blooms off-season, there are many unique sculptures donated by a local famed volcanic glass artist before their passing. You may also hear some stray rumors about cursed castle ruins. Hidden high on a forgotten mountain peak, this castle supposedly devours anyone foolish enough to enter its walls, with a preference for newborns... but it's probably nothing to worry about. Unless you want to take a peek inside?

Connecting both sides of the country from the mountain peaks to the ocean are a network of rivers that vary in size. Some are barely large enough to be considered rivers, while others have fast-moving currents and are tens of feet deep. Buildings along the waterfronts here are often raised on stone walls or stilts in the event that the rivers swell, which they often do during the rainy seasons. Networks of much smaller streams branch off between rivers, cutting paths through the forests and towns. At the halfway point between Yamate and Umite, one river leads to a gorgeous, mid-sized waterfall. Rumor has it that this waterfall has magical properties.

On each side, there is a small post office that you can drop letters and parcels off at for delivery. Strangely, the sole deliveryman and two overseers of the offices seem to bear an uncanny resemblance to each other... You can also find one single ancient computer nestled in each town's respective library. Despite the fact that there are only two in the whole country, they don't seem to be very popular just yet. Maybe that has to do with the fact that you can only use them to play Pong. Every now and then, they may also serenade you with The Dial-up Screech™. Enjoy!

Beyond that, regardless of where you travel and what you get up to, both sides of Kōun seem to be bustling with a little extra energy lately. There's plenty of buzz about the upcoming Demon Market Grand Opening from stall owners and prospective customers alike, and some people may pull you over to poll you on what you want to see out of it. More food stalls? Less unruly foot traffic? The world is your oyster! The Night of Demons Parade that will happen several weeks after it also seems to be generating a lot of excitement.

You might also catch wind of a meteor shower set to light up the sky at night - but you know what they say about curiosity and cats, don't you? Anyone outside when this shower hits may find that it's much larger than anticipated, with several flashes and flares of light rocketing straight toward the ground. Though no one is killed and mass destruction doesn't seem to be the goal, one thing is clear... This tiny country is in for some big changes. The gods presiding over it have decided to test its dedication to peace and coexistence, and with this, they offer the start of their challenge: Humans (OU and AU alike) who are too close to these falling meteorites may find themselves transforming into demons. Some change all at once, while others transform slowly over time. That same night, three demons among you will develop unusual physiological differences and abilities, chosen by the gods to become Maou.

That evening, everyone will share the same dream. A swirling darkness that will begin to encroach on their most beloved places - where they might have grown up or shared in vulnerable moments with friends. A shadow that begins to envelop their loved ones until they're disappeared into dust - or an image of their corpse flashes before their eyes, withered and rotten. When they wake up, even though they might not knowhow to fix their problem, they'll know that they are meant to search for the Maou. Any additional answers might take a bit of investigating.

With the stage set, it's time to see if Kōun can live up to its name.

Puji Shrine
Location: Nestled in the mountains, up a path that looks like it's in the middle of being paved. It's a bit of a hike, currently.

Appearance: Puji Shrine is a strange building. A bit ramshackle, parts of it are in wood and parts of it are in white stone. It seems to have a hole in its thatched roof (currently covered by a large piece of canvas tarp.) Still other parts of it seem to be tied with some sort of magic and also a lot of twine to the trees that surround it. There are two small plots of land that have been tilled out behind the shrine itself, full of hardy vegetable plants growing into the mountainside, and a small pond full to the brim with water chestnut plants. The shrine itself has an altar, and incense can be smelled burning from the inside at most hours of the day. It's only one room, but there are the living effects of the acting daozhang tucked nicely off in a corner, and the makings of a small kitchen to the side.

There's a sign outside of Puji Shrine that says, "Shrine Under Construction: Please Consider Donating." Someone has written underneath in much less nice handwriting: "Days Since Last Demolition: 2."

Notes: Xie Lian resides in Puji Shrine. Please don't set it on fire again today thank you

senri's shrine
[does it have a name idk

if you happen to drop by the shrine, you'll come across ray, sweeping the grounds. anyone who comes by often will likely recognize him, given that he's been a live-in worker for a while; even if you don't, you might recognize him as a worker at taka's bakery. he's a busy child, apparently.

without looking up, and in a monotonous tone—]


Welcome. You've come to the right place if you're looking for medical assistance, shelter, food, a place to pray, or just some peace and quiet.

But if you're looking to talk to the loudmouth [he means senri], he's probably on another quest to find his new best friend. If you're looking for Sasuke, he's probably setting the bakery on fire, and if you're looking for Takaomi, he's probably putting the fire out. Try again later.

[also if you happen to be senri, sasuke, or taka, then yeah, he's still saying this because he can throw shade at people's faces

assuming you're not one of those three, he taps the back of his hand. if you're original, you get a bonus!]


And if you haven't lost your mind, then seriously. You're welcome here.

[EVERYONE AROUND RAY IS CRAZY AND HE HATES IT]

shops
[in either umite or yamate, ray isn't picky even if travelling to yamate makes him nervous because he's afraid of how much trouble senri can get into if left alone for longer than a day... though regardless, he's armed with a bow and arrows, just in case.

anyhow, ray is peering at the wares, and even if you're just another browsing passerby, he speaks.]


Hey. What would you recommend as a souvenir?

i - rivers;
[Wei Wuxian isn't exactly a boating merchant, but he does spend tons of time on the rivers. His ferryboat is mid-sized and seats six people comfortably. Rumors abound that he also keeps it well-stocked with food and drink to share with patrons he likes - though with its stern-to-bow black paint and a ferryman with four crow wings at its helm, you may have also heard rumors from a superstitious few that spotting him at night is bad fortune. No name is scrawled on its side, but he fondly refers to it as simply Six Mon.

Either way, if you need a lift, he's your demon! He has a reputation as one of the chattiest ferrymen around with a pristine mental map of the network of rivers. Beyond that, he's also known for his easy acceptance of both demon and human passengers. Whether you're a boisterous human merchant from Umite or a reclusive demon scholar from Yamate, he'll provide a speedy and comfortable ride. Just step right up!

And heck, even if you don't need a ride, that doesn't guarantee you'll be able to escape this fuck.]


Catch—!

[A ripe persimmon comes zooming your way through the air... He waves from where he sits at the bow, bamboo pole in the other hand.]

ii - bonfire area;
[On the nights he's not busy boating around from place to place, he enjoys hanging out near the bustle of the bonfire area. Sometimes he sits near the fires, passing around stories and snacks. Other times, he can be found laying on his docked boat's small roof, a bamboo flute in hand. Anyone who meanders close will be gestured on over!]

Here, come here! Tell me - what songs do you like? Let me play one for you, free of charge! Though I won't say no if you happen to have a cup of sake to spare.

[winkwonk]

iii - kumou shrine, meteor boogaloo;
[Wei Wuxian is quick to react and quick to adapt. In the days after the meteors strike, he'll still be conducting business as usual, for the most part - but throughout the night after the shower, he can be found in the shrine he and his siblings grew up in. First, he's scouring the grounds to make sure no serious damage has been done. THANKS FALLING ROCKS. After that, he seems to be heating something up in a bonfire in front of the main building, but anyone who approaches gets his immediate attention. Clearly he's a little on edge, it's fine.]

Ah— Are you okay? Come a little closer to the fire, would you?

[HE'S READY TO HELP. After putting this fire out, maybe. Fire safety, kids.]

CLINIC
Location: In the shrine Senri oversees.
Appearance: Gestures to Dana's shrine comment once it comes into existence if it does. But for all intents and purposes, Ray's converted one of the rooms there into a makeshift clinic. So, not the nicest looking clinic, but what works, works!!
Notes: It doesn't have a name since it's really just a service Ray ([personal profile] selfimmolates) provides for free from Senri's shrine (though donations are welcome, thanks). Aside from onmyouji healing techniques, Ray offers non-supernatural medical help, including emergency aid/surgery. If you're willing to leave your life in the hands of a 12-year-old, he's actually a very competent medic even with the limited supplies he has.

COIN-OP LAUNDRY
Location: Umite, situated in the middle of a small shopping district
Appearance: Coin-op Laundry is a small, one story building with tinted windows making it difficult to see inside, though there always seems to be movement inside the shop that is open 24/7. Immediately upon entering, there is a small antechamber with a door to the left, a door to the right, and a cup on a string hanging down from the ceiling in front of a placard stating "PASSWORD?" inviting you to whisper a message into the cup. There is no response regardless of what you say. Both doors are always unlocked regardless of whether you choose to say anything or not. The door to the left opens and announces your entrance with the clattering of wooden wind chimes; the door to the right with the ringing of metal chimes.

Inside the store is spottily but brightly lit with hanging lanterns, and the walls are packed with a variety of objects ranging from common household appliances, to clothing and accessories, to trinkets of varying magical capacity. Tucked away in the corners of the shop are heavy glass jars, sealed boxes, and large ornate vases. On the back wall behind the long counter top is a lost and found where a number of money pouches and handbags can be seen. Set on top of the counter is a large black box weighing down a piece of paper reading "1 ~*~*mystery prize*~*~ with the purchase of 5 items. No refunds. Trade-ins welcome." Nothing in the store is labeled with either identifying information or prices.

Covering the entirety of the floor is a large woolen rug, scuffed and matted with dirt tracked in from patrons over the years. As you walk throughout the store, there are certain spots where it sounds hollow underfoot, though muffled by the rug so it's difficult to tell, especially if it's noisy inside.

Notes: No laundry service is offered at Coin-op Laundry.

THE WRIGHT WINE
Location: A few blocks from the aquatic history museum! As close to touristy spots as possible.
Appearance: Kind of like this? Imagine it to be a little more in the style of the pinterest board though. Lots of greenery and an ocean view. It's a very old building - run by a very old family of phoenixes.
Notes: This winery is run by Mr. Wright and his partner, as well as his daughter. Beau can be found here working occasionally, but also like, feel free to have your characters running around. There are daily tours and wine-tasting and all sorts of tourist trap things. If you let Mr. Wright know you're friends with Beau, he might give you a discount on wine. Maybe.

[ wei wuxian giving food to people he likes means that tsukasa definitely just hitches a ride to get said food, and the bakeneko - in his large cat form, his long tail draped over the boat's edge in a mockery of fishing (but primarily to keep it wet so it doesn't set the ferry on fire) - stretches out very comfortably on two of the seats.

he isn't really sure where he wants to go today - what shrine he wants to meow cutely at for hand-outs, or what shop he wants to try for a job at, or maybe it's just one of those days where he wants to wander... even if he's an old cat, he's young at heart!!! ]


Wei Wuxnyaaaan, [ finally piping up after being quiet for like ten minutes probably, ] isn't it boring ferrying nyathing all day?

[ he's probably asked this before. he probably asks this every time he rides the ferry. ]

i. coin-op laundry
[ Welcome... to Coin-op Laundry. If there is anything you need, please give Kano your money. He can be found at the store in Umite from 10AM-1PM all days of the week, but the store is staffed by a small handful of other humans or demons in order to be open 24/7. On weekends from 7PM-midnight, a girl can be found manning the counter, with the same ashy blond hair as Kano though now wavy and tumbling past her shoulders, a bright customer service smile on her face for anybody who enters through the metal chime door and a mellower one for the wooden chime door. She introduces herself as Shuuya. Kano remains Kano.

Rather than on a chair behind the counter, Kano (or Shuuya on weekends) sits on top of the counter when you arrive, the other end of the cup on the string on his lap. ]


Hihi~ Whatcha lookin' for today?

[ When he's not in the shop, Kano's out there living the cat life, a scraggly black cat picking his way through the street to gather up scraps for dinner, finding hapless animal lovers to curl up on their laps and sneak a paw into their pockets, and try to find what sunny spots he can around town. ]

ii. Kano @ acoustics hall
[ Perfect resonance. Sometimes you gotta take advantage of perfect resonance to gather up a bunch of street urchins and make them all stand inside at the very center of the hall and

SCREAM AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS

The voice is nature's most perfect instrument, after all. ]


iii. Shuuya @ meteor shower
[ If he were a cat, his fur would be standing all on end watching the meteor shower that night; when the first meteor streaks across the sky, he steps out of the shadows, lashing tail tucked under the train of Shuuya's dress as "she" smoothes it over her legs, putting on a look of wide-eyed innocence as she clasps her hands behind her back and takes for the streets. ]

Wah~! I've never seen something like this before! How beaut—-

[ Her mouth snaps shut as the flaming ball of molten rock starts to become larger and larger and maybe she doesn't want to stand out in the open in the middle of the town. ]

Ah... Hm. We never had these sorts of drills, huh...? Where do you think is the safest place to shelter? Gotta be that castle, right?

iv. cat @ aftermath
[ Where there are destroyed buildings, there is a small black cat picking its way through the rubble looking around for anything small enough to pocket, occassionally sneezing from the soot and steeling itself to leap through the flames here and there to enter one builidng or another. We take opportunities as they come. ]

wc.
[ Kano's plotting post is here. He is a bakeneko who can shift between the forms of a black cat, a teenage boy (Kano), and a teenage girl (Shuuya) which I decided just now bc his account got renewed and I discovered he has girl icons uploaded for some reason. ]

i. river, Yamate-side
[ It's the night after the meteor shower when Minato finally emerges from the mountains, pushing past the last straggling wall of trees into the clearing the opens out to the view of the rivers between the two towns. His clothing is singed and covered in blood on his left side; the moment he gets to the water, he drops to his knees and cups his hands to dip beneath the surface, splashing water on his face, his arms and torso. The blood and water runs off his skin, damp but entirely unbroken, but his breathing is shallow and labored and the entirety of his neck down to his chest is blackened, skin cracked and smoking slightly, as if of extinguished coal.

As he draws a sword out to wash the blood off the blade, a little ball of white-blue light dances around his head, his eye-lids drooping a little before he shakes his head to snap himself out of it, but inevitably starts to nod off again anyways. Busying himself with getting cleaned up, it's easy enough to approach— especially from behind- though the air seems to drop several degrees colder the closer you get to Minato and the ball of light, and you can feel your energy being sapped little by little if you take too long without speaking up to make yourself known.

If you do speak, though, Minato lifts his head and turns to glance over his shoulder, eyes a little wide in surprise although the slowness of the reaction suggests otherwise. The sword slips out of his hand and plops into the water, starting to be carried off by the current as he opens his mouth to speak but nothing comes out but air. ]


ii. Umite & Yamate
[ HE NEEDS TO FIND SHINOBU. SHE IS SOMEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAINS. He has no idea how to get there and any time he thinks he's getting close, Lan Wangji comes and turns him around and shoos him away... But, touching a finger to his neck and pulling his hand back to rub the ash off on the side of his pants, he really does need her this time, more than just to talk.

If he can't get through the forest despite his best attempts, maybe somebody else can help. It's time to do what he does best: wander everywhere and talk to everybody. Literally anybody he comes across who doesn't look busy and makes the mistake of making eye contact with him, he approaches with a small smile on his face and both hands raised.

He places the tips of his fingers together, tented with his palms apart. Then, keeping his thumbs touching, he opens up his hands so that his palms are flat and facing outwards, fingers spread. With the third and final gesture, he touches his throat, before dropping his hands and looking expectant. ]


wc.
[ Minato is a human and his plotting comment is here. Through bonus tokens, Minato has lost his ability to speak for the duration of this world. Here is your chance to play charades! I heard some of you guys want to suffer. Alternatively, he is always in possession of paper and ink and can communicate through writing. ]

Yamate - meditation chamber

[I'm obligated to put this one

To absolutely no one's surprise, Lan Wangji can be found at the meditation chamber very often. When he's not letting himself be dragged around by someone, or taking care of various (/waves hand vaguely) tasks for the residents of Yamate, he's very often seen kneeling here. He can sit, perfectly straight-backed and still, for hours--really, he could do it for days, but doesn't want to get in the way of the caretakers.

If you call out to him here, he'll probably either 1. ignore you or 2. glare at you, at least until he's done meditating. If you're annoying enough, he may or may not get up and use them big ol' horns on his head to menace you out of the chamber entirely. DON'T DISTURB THE PATRONS, he's looking at you, gremlins.

If you're polite enough to be patient, he'll eventually get to his feet and sweep out with a polite, but totally silent, bow of greeting.

Please don't step on his tail.]


Yamate - acoustics hall

[The other place Lan Wangji spends most of his time is most definitely the acoustics hall. Catch him here playing slow or fast music on his guqin, some infused with spiritual energy, but most simply for the joy of making music.

If you are there to play as well, feel free to accompany his music with your own! If he arrives when you're playing, he'll wait patiently, listening if it's welcome. The acoustics hall is probably the place where he's most approachable; whenever the song(s) come to a natural end, he may or may not offer a small smile. Or, uh. Something vaguely like a smile. HE'S NOT RBF-ING AT YOU, IN ANY CASE.]


Lovely instrument.

[--THAT IS, OF COURSE, unless you're here making a ruckus??? It's probably a pretty quick way to summon him, honestly. If you're just here making noise, he'll show up so quickly it's like he teleported, noticeably displeased. He'll also just get straight to the point--]

Stop.

[PUT YOUR OTOMATONES AND KAZOOS AND VUVUZELAS AWAY]

Umite - floating shops

[Since Lan Wangji's a Yamate native, a demon, and a loner, he doesn't really get out to do a lot of shopping. The Umite floating shops, in particular, are always a little overwhelming. It's not as bad as it was when he first came down the mountain, but he still probably looks pretty out of place. It's that ~ethereal~ vibe. Very floaty, very spiritual, very easy to swindle.

THAT'S RIGHT, this is the dumbest prompt, because Lan Wangji is absolutely just standing here letting shopkeepers press things into his hands. He made the fatal mistake of saying he was looking for a "gift", and that means he's ended up with an entire basket of persimmons, three bolts of fabric in blue, green, and pink, and a carved figurine of something that's probably supposed to be a bird. HE DOESN'T NEED ANY OF THIS STUFF please take it off his hands, or come rescue him from the shopkeeper who's currently trying to bully him into buying some Very Questionable Literature. (Is it questionable in quality, or content? YOU DECIDE.)

Alternatively, if he knows you and sees you on the streets, he might just come right up to you and hold out all of his, uh, gifts. He didn't haggle for any of it, what a damn fool.]


Please take one.

[ in one of those destroyed buildings, there is a girl with fiery hair and wings to match, all ablaze. she has hands though, don't pay attention to that last picture too hard. anyway she should be a familiar girl to kano. she's picking through rubble trying to make sure nobody is hurt - which is why when she hears the sneeze, she peers over in the direction it came from.

she squints, and then, holding onto a wall, leans over to scoop the black cat up off the ground and peer at him. ]


What are you doing.

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-04-25 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ The cat squirms a little in Beau's grasp, before resigning itself to its fate and settling down, peering up at her with clear golden eyes. In the short stretch of time it chooses not to answer, the wind picks up another smattering of soot and the cat sneezes on Beau's arm. Gross. ]

...Myah~

[ It's a sweet meow, the innocent and inherently meaningless sort of meow that cats reserve for humans in hopes of charming them. Like maybe Kano's hoping Beau can cut him some slack here, or maybe he can fool years and years and years of familiarity and Beau will think he's just a normal cat, nothing to see here, people speaking to normal cats are weirdos if they expect a real response. ]

i. the cabin in the mountains

[ though royce does try his best to not let anybody know where his cabin is, it does exist, and can be found! it's a tiny thing and is really only functional for sleeping in, but he doesn't seem to mind. this is where he is most times. knock on the door and see what you get! is he inside? is he outside, lurking in a tree? is he eating? hope he's not eating, that's awkward for everybody involved. ]

[ well, look, he's super not interested in becoming a demon barbecue, so he goes right for the closest shelter. and if you get anywhere close to him, he - hisses? he hisses at you, an almost snakelike sound. ]

Get away. [ do not touch. actually - there is touch, but only because royce reaches out and shoves whoever it is out of his space. ]

iii. kara's restaurant; hunting

[ there is a man in a cloak. he is sitting in the corner, hood up, lounging. maybe you feel drawn to him - there's something alluring about him, something mysterious that makes you want to talk to him. if you concentrate enough, you can shake off that feeling, but - it is there. a lure.

but if you don't shake it off, well. that man glances up, yellow eyes glittering under the hood. ]


Can I help you? [ he asks, soft. ]

iv. wildcard

[ plotting post here! hit me up at fluorescentness#1929 on discord if you wanna plot out something specific or literally just hit me with whatever!! ]

[ Today just had to be the day he decided to visit the Kumou Shrine, didn't it?

He too is in his smaller cat form, pressing low to the ground as he keeps out of sight of humans and demons alike. There's nothing saying he can't be in Umite, but it still feels a little awkward to be around - even if he's actually, expressly looking for Kano this time, this far into the city.

He's just glad when he does spot him, and he hesitates, pawing the ground back and forth, until he finds a way in. Or until he catches Kano coming out, it doesn't matter - ]


You're okay! [ he was worried!! a soft meowy sigh. ] Thank goodness...

[ ................hold on, ]

Kanyan-san, please tell me you're not looting at a time like this.

[ GROSS, HIS FUR

Kano bumps and nuzzles his head against Beau's jaw in a way that could almost be mistaken for affection, if it weren't to smear the snot on her face. Also onto his fur. This is so gross, he can't even lick-clean it off, so he has to wait until the next time it rains, I guess.

Either way, he takes advantage of the higher ground to peer into the windows of the building he was thinking of breaking into, and for the sake of rp I'm saying he can speak out loud because he's not a real cat. ]


I'm going back under my rock as soon as I can, but first— those tapestries inside the shop, d'you see 'em? They're going to get consumed by the fire, so let's "save" them~

[ Set them aside for safekeeping, maybe resell them to somebody who can give them a better, fire-proofed home, you know. ]

[ beau makes a noise that almost sounds like a squawk at the head bump. excuse. she just wipes it off with her hand, and then... onto the wall. ]

You're the worst. [ she informs him, but it's not because of the tapestries, it's because he wiped snot on her. grumbling, she deposits him on her shoulder, figuring he'll be able to stay balanced. ]

I see them. You owe me one. [ if she's gonna help kano's business she better get a cut of the profit. ] Come on, bet there's a hole in the ceiling we can climb into.

[ .....................Kano does not tell him he is looting at a time like this.

The tip of his tail twitches, held aloft, in lieu of any verbal answer as he slows to a stop, caught in the middle of rolling an ornate vase out of a building, the container dark blue with silver and black dragonflies etched onto its surface, the soft sound of something shifting inside of it as he rolls it across the ground. ]


I'm okay, I'm okay~ Fancy seeing you out here! What's up?

[ Fire crackles in the building behind him. There's a loud crack, and the entire roof caves in with a flash of flames and black smoke billowing up into the sky. ]

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2020-04-25 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah~ If there isn't, it shouldn't be too hard to make one... like those pot lids with the vent hole, or something~

[ He crouches down on her shoulder, tail lazily flicking left and right behind him as he hangs on, careful not to dig his claws in but he can't make any promises depending on whether the rooftop collapses once they get up there.

The rooftop collapses the moment they step onto the roof. ]

[ honestly, she should've seen this coming. since she did not she just squawks again and falls right down to the ground.

it's fine, her wings break her fall probably, and kano's a cat so presumably he'll land on his feet? totally all good. just. give her a second, all the wind got knocked out of her so she's just laying here wheezing. ]


... Ow, fuck. [ cough. ]

[ He lands on his feet, and is feet immediately buckle, because he's not a real cat and the only thing he really borrows from the animal is the appearance— it's one that he tosses aside the moment they're inside the building, him rolling off of Beau before turning into his human form that's much more convenient on the account of having both opposable thumbs and plenty of pockets. ]

...Whew! Okay. Don't breathe.

[ He brushes some of the ash off Beau's shoulder/smears it into her clothes. ]

Nothing broken? You don't have, like, hollow bones, right?

Wen Farm (and low-key safehouse)
Location: Not quite in the mountains, not too close to the nearest town-- it has enough space for farmland and enough distance for a little privacy.
Appearance: A calm little area of farmland, with a few scattered stone sheds for storage and a stone house built into the side of a nearby hill. It doesn't look terribly big, but it has a cozy vibe despite its stone construction, and the fields are always filled with seasonal vegetables and other assorted plants. The whole operation isn't too large, considering Wen Ning lives here alone, but it's enough to provide for himself and others. There's a field dedicated to radishes. It's easy to find birds here, too, and there are feeders and baths set out for them.
Notes: While it's just a farm on the outside, the house functions as a safe place for demons or humans alike to hide out, whether referred to Wen Ning or just someone he came across himself! The house is built deeper into the hill than it appears to be on the outside and has a hidden lower level.
