[open] your ambiguous true face is hidden in the magic hour

Who: Momo and you!
When: Throughout Aguril
Where: Around and about...
What: Catch-all feat. Lunasa + Antler Fruit, Forget-Me-Nots, and Darkness and Frost quest things (plus some closed prompts)
Warnings: Potentially raunchy discussion in Lunasa and Antler Fruit prompts, and Violence (tm) in the Darkness and Frost prompt.

[a: don't do the fashion crime if you can't do the fashion time (lunasa)]

[While Momo isn't exactly dressed in a not-extra way when he's out and about during Lunasa, what with the pinstriped dress shirt and useless fashionable suspender aesthetic because why not, the fact that he has modelling as a more permanent side job here now means he has to get involved in Lunasa things one way or another. And as far as he's concerned, it's better to have a little fun with it than just get set up with a bunch of local models. He figures Yuki will only have the patience for a little of it, though the single red string trailing off Momo's finger (coincidentally, it's chosen to tie itself around the finger he wears his repeat ring on, the left middle) somewhere off into the abyss of the city may be a dead giveaway to some people that Momo's oft-mentioned partner isn't directly present.

As such, anyone who comes near the right modelling locations may find themselves being propositioned by more than just the locals, as Momo taps shoulders (or just takes arms in cases he knows someone well enough or they look relaxed enough that he can assume he won't get hit for it) and starts trying to guide people towards the hell of designers and glitter and flashiness.]


Have you tried out a little modelling yet? You'll get some cute clothes out of it, I promise! [Or just. Good useful clothes for if anything fancy happens. He may have to change his tactics with some people...]

--

[b: pursuing the elusive hornyfruit (antler fruit, 18+ characters only)]

[Considering Momo tends to favour trap tactics initially when fighting things out in the Wilde anyway, something that involves having to keep an animal still long enough to pluck fruit off its horns seems pretty ideal. And the pay is good, and the jury is very much out on how long Momo is going to hold out before he makes one or more horny puns. Maybe they should be offering extra hazard pay for that part.

As it stands, though, it's still out in the Wilde and that still means Momo is going to have to pick up interested parties to help him out in the collection process. Out of habit he'll favour adults, in large part because of the nature of the quest, but other than that he's not particularly picky as long as his company has some idea what they're doing. Most of his supplies are concealed under his very covering clothing since he'll be drawing on magic much more here, but on occasion he can be seen tapping at things under his clothes as if to make sure they're still in the right place.

On final approach, behind some trees from which clear sounds of the deers' presence can be heard and one or two of them even start to be visible in a clearing nearby, Momo finally cracks while peering out to check how many there are around.]


Wow, I guess they really are as horny as advertised. [In reference to the giant "branches" of antlers hanging with fruit that are visible even from here, but he's still grinning like he knows he just made the worst joke in the world and isn't at all sorry.]

--

[c: animal crossing cheat codes (forget-me-nots)]

[Another particularly handy aspect of having focused primarily on distraction and protection magic in his early months is that thorny plants aren't a huge concern. He covers up habitually when travelling to the Wilde anyway, because Cwyld is like that, but some of the plants here are remarkably good at getting through gloves and he doesn't really want to learn if these prickly bushes are like that the hard way. So he's gathering the seeds with a layer of pink around his hands - a shield to prevent giving himself dead arm for the duration - and a nostalgic sort of smile on his face, courtesy of the fumes. He's dropping his own seeds into vials similar to those used to collect plant samples with a bit of soil, and while he knows time is of the essence, he'll spare some for anyone else who comes collecting.]

Are you here for seeds? If you've got something to transport them in I can get you some real quick, might as well carry as many as we can.

[He was told about the time limit when he came out, but at worst he can leg it back to the city after he helps.]

--

[d: tattoo responsibly (darkness and frost)]

[With the amount of time Momo is spending in the Wilde and on the outskirts of the city this month, of course he hears the warnings about the screaming and the creatures. And initially he classes it as a general danger, something to be wary of but that he's not necessarily more at risk of than anyone else.

Unfortunately, he is as yet blissfully unaware of the creatures' targets of choice, and he happened to get an enchanted tattoo not at all long after he arrived in this world. And spends a solid chunk of time in Dorchacht for the open spaces.

Initially, it's just that the screams seem to come remarkably close a few of the times he's near the borders of the Outer City or in the Wilde - but in the case of the former he's generally in the company of the Wilders and others helping out beyond the walls. It's not until he ends up having to chase a Shade a little further out from locals that can muddle his scent than is entirely ideal that one of them bursts from the trees, giving off its eerie screaming. On the one hand, it spooks the smaller Shade enough for it to hightail it back into the deeper Wilde for the moment. On the other, it's much bigger and more vicious than what he was just dealing with, and Momo barely gets a shield up before it crashes into the pink dome, trying to stomp through it and screaming all the louder. It's rare to see Momo look legitimately afraid of something, but he definitely does for the first few moments of holding it out of the shield.]


What the fuck...? [The cuss slips out in his absence of care for pretense in this kind of situation, and while the flayed creature's screaming is probably attraction enough for help, he does call out to anyone who might've seen fit to follow him.] Stay back! And if you have any idea what this thing is I could use the update!

[Unless whoever came to assist fills the target criteria for the nuckelavee as well, it's likely to remain very obviously focused on trying to get through that barrier to stomp and/or chew on Momo. Otherwise...well, it's going to turn its attention to the target that doesn't have a shield in front of it.]

I can carry them.

( he has a satchel, something small that can hold a few personal items, for when he flies long distances. it's because if he also has to carry a passenger, which has slowly become a norm for him, that lio can't be over encumbered by weight. )

Do you need my help to gather some more? I'm sure an extra pair of hands can't hurt.

( lio flashes a soft smile before reaching down toward those plants. )

[personal profile] piromare 2020-08-13 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
( it's unfortunately a little too late, his eyes following the thorn that bounces off and away as he reaches down and lower still, not looking at what he might be grabbing. the prick is sharp and painful, but soon he can't feel it and he wonders why the tingling is also gone all of a sudden... )

Dead arms?

( ah. and now lio knows why. his entire right hand is now... he can't feel it and he purses his lips. )

Dammit.
piromare: (m28)

[personal profile] piromare 2020-08-16 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
( if only this bird listened to momo and the little bird that told him that vital piece of information! but no, lio is all action and impulsivity. maybe a little bit of impatience as well, as he sits there wondering when he'll be able to feel anything below his shoulder---

ah. well. that does it. )


Hey, maybe you should've been quicker on saying something? ( but honestly, he's not that irritated. it could be worse. what if it somehow got him on the throat? a wing? his chest? )

Purge it out like a poison... so you'd have to suck it out.

( he regrets saying those words as soon as he speaks them, and lio turns his head and clicks his tongue. at himself. )

[Elliot's jobs with music and in the infirmary normally kept him pretty busy, but sometimes he found time to help out with some of the cases piled on the job board. This quest had caught his attention to. The story of the girl reminded him of one he'd been told a few years ago. So none of the affected people of that were in Aefenglom, but it felt only right to handle it in their stead.

Seeing Momo was also interested in the job, it only made sense to team up to Elliot. Momo proved capable last night in the underground city, so hopefully they can work together again.]


Mm. A few months ago, we found the ruins of a village that was very haunted. We managed to appease a lot of the ghosts by creating a memorial for them, but some were so wrathful they couldn't bring themselves to move on.

[Which was a tragedy all on its own]

I have a feeling this girl might be a cast of the latter.
fiddlestick: (elliot246)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2020-08-10 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...I'm not sure then. I don't go ghost hunting that often. [So if there was another ghost attack like this, it's very plausible he just missed it.]

Good question...if that story of her is true, I can understand why she'd react so badly to people acting hostile towards her. [Killed by the one she loved...it's terrible] We should try talking to her first...maybe that'll have more luck.
fiddlestick: (elliot246)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2020-08-12 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, here's hoping. Be prepared to run if she's not in the mood to talk though.

[Because you never know with an encounter like this. Elliot wasn't bad in a fight, but he wasn't a front-line fighter by any means. And while he knows Momo used to play sports, that's not exactly the same as combat training

He does give a look over at Momo as he's talking, a little worried.]


...Sounds like you've come across that kind of twisted love before.

[The stories of a ghost haunting the lake sound much like the jobs he has done before coming to Aefenglom. Of course Lan Xichen can't help being curious. He's been dedicated even more to the safety of the area they know lately, with the underground suffering from its issues and the leyline needing attention out by the north, sooner or later he thinks Dorchacht would suffer some issues as well.

He's only a little surprised to meet Momo on the job as well. He knows that Momo, being energetic and helpful would be out doing work much like a cultivator himself, but that doesn't guarantee that they would cross paths.]


It is work this time, Momo-gongzi. I heard that this lake might be haunted and came to investigate. Were you here to do the same?

[He might also just be out there coincidentally, but that seems less likely.]

[personal profile] tothemetal 2020-08-11 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, uh -

[he's following along as Momo guides him, docile man that he is, but there's no mistaking the extreme misgivings Styx is feeling when they're plastered so obviously across his face. surely there must have been some sort of mistake?]

Is there really nobody else around? Don't really think anyone's gonna want me in their pictures...

[and, to be fair, it wasn't like his uncertainties were completely unfounded - nearly seven feet tall and almost as wide, but without any monster traits to justify it, he really did look more like a hooligan than anyone who ought to be allowed within ten miles of a wedding. 'fashion' clothes wouldn't suit him at all, he was already sure of that.]
tothemetal: (two.)

[personal profile] tothemetal 2020-08-11 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[strings again...this is hardly the first time that Styx has seen them, although by now he's not afraid of accidentally choking himself out by walking into a big cluster of the stuff. it's odd, undeniably, but everything is unusual at present. he's just assuming it's another part of the festivities that he's unaware of. in any case, Momo's declaration catches his attention far more thoroughly.]

You do?

[he seems genuinely surprised by such a concept - and completely unaware that this man is probably just saying that in order to make his own job easier. the fact that it's accompanied by a reassuring sort of pat...hook, line, and sinker.]

Well, uh...just stuff like this, really. Got a couple with bands names on them at home.

['like this' being his original outfit from home of a plain black tee and jeans. Styx has been trying to purchase more clothes here, just as a matter of practicality, but finds himself returning time and again to the familiar. even the most 'casual' of outfits here just felt too fancy - too good - for him.

which is to say, this is someone with absolutely no self-confidence. please ignore his comfort zone.]
tothemetal: (seven.)

[personal profile] tothemetal 2020-08-13 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, sure, but...

[typically he's 'eye-catching' in the negative sense. the way that Momo seems to pause after hearing his answer, however brief, makes the big guy suspect that he's given the wrong one - and so he decides that it would be rude to argue after the man's declaration of boosting his confidence. he's just exactly as much self-esteem as he deserves, in his opinion! but people do tend to know better than him, so...

a great deal of that hesitance disappears - or is put to the side for the time being, at the very least - when the other man inquires further into his taste in music. the subject is such a comforting one, no matter the context, that it never fails to brighten his disposition up right away.]


Uh, mostly metal! Hard rock's good too, though - anything big and loud's pretty killer to me, you know?

[fast and aggressive, with powerful lyrics...he lived for it.]

Usually got corpse paint on when I'm playing, so...yeah, really like the stuff they've got on most of the time, haha!

[ lance is not having a great time on this quest. it seems to be a trend with these two: momo running into lance when lance is making a complete fool of himself somehow, much to the latter's chagrin. this is no exception, either, because lance's arm is pretty limp at his side.

in his other arm, though, he's got a basket. handy for transporting those seeds. too bad it didn't save his arm!

Yeah, yeah, drop 'em in here.

Looks like it.

[ he's so mad. he's so mad! he should've known better. but lance can at least do this and collect all the seeds. he watches as momo's magic prevents him from also not being able to use his limbs, and he's a little salty, but eh. if it wears off quickly then it's no big deal. ]

I'll just wait it out, then, psh, no big deal! Just, you know, gonna be a little unhelpful for a few minutes.

[ YIKES. that's longer than he was expecting. lance groans, again, and slumps a bit. this is so troublesome. ]

I guess I'll, uh, be on Shade duty? Keep watch to make sure nothing's coming after us and all.

[ guess he's not so useless after all! ]
