[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.]

reviseleviathan for other plans! Momo will also be doing his usual Out of the City duties besides the ones that involve getting attacked by weird revenge horses. Also feel free to tweak prompts slightly as needed to suit any plans we might've had for certain quests!]]

[But ah, stalkers. That makes sense. He doesn't seem too surprised. It's not an entirely foreign concept to him. ]
Oh yeah, I suppose I heard a bit about stalkers in school ... but I can't recall them being too much of an issue back home. [...] Then again, I'd kinda feel bad for anyone who tried to stalk the Azure Diva and she's the top, so maybe that's why. [Vita is both crazy powerful and also a lil crazy ok] But I'd agree that could be seen as a twisted kind of love.
no subject
The lake is just barely starting to come into view through the trees, and Momo's eyes narrow slightly like he's trying to pick out any sign of movement.] Suppose we'd better focus on this case now that we're here. See anything yet?
[His own eyes and ears are sharp enough, but he's not going to discount a second pair in a situation like this.]
no subject
But right, the mission. He looks ahead at the lake as well, as well as listening to things around him]
I don't see anything...but...it's way too quiet, don't you think?
[As they start to come into the area, there's a strange lack of wildlife sounds. As if things the animals fear going near this pond as well]
no subject
Elliot's observation gives shape to the vague impression of off-ness Momo had picked up, and he nods in agreement.] Yeah, no animals or anything either...if she attacks anything that comes at her then they'd have good reason to run.
[Any animal that didn't have the instinct to flee would probably die, and that would in turn put off the ones that would prefer to flee in the first place. The edge of the lake comes into clearer view, just as still as everything else, and Momo frowns slightly.] Doesn't look like there's any fish coming up, either.
no subject
Yeah, it's a little eerie. No mistaking that this is the place...
[As they get closer, there's an ethereal glow that appears in the middle of the lake. One that couldn't be anything natural, but rather the first signs of their ghost. ]
-- Look!
no subject
He slows his pace a bit, still approaching the lake edge, but in a way that would be basically impossible to take as aggressive. The glow seems to turn, as if looking in their direction, and he makes sure his hands are somewhere relaxed, but visible. Better not to give her any reason to think he intends to use a weapon.]
You think she'll come over or wait to see what we do? [He's watched too many horror movies to not be a little hesitant about calling out to the potentially violent spirit. He'll have to try and file it out of the same category as "yelling 'who's there' when branches start to rustle suspiciously".]
no subject
[Elliot certainly feeling some of his own nerves creep up. He's been to haunted places before, but that didn't detract from how creepy this whole place is.
It is tempting to lay low, but what if she did spot them? She'd never trust them then so....]
I don't know. I'm sure she'll find us eventually though so...maybe we should just say hi?
[In other words FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD or something]
no subject
Which is why, while he does speak up quite clearly, he's very polite about it when he does. It's like he's trying to get the attention of someone higher in status.] Excuse me?
[The ghost turns and then kind of...pauses. It's hard to tell from this distance, but the positioning looks somewhere between suspicious and just confused, so Momo continues.] Can we...talk to you, please?
[Momentary silence. She's not attacking, which he at least figures is a good sign.]
sorry for the late!
In fact Elliot does make good on that, walking with Momo closer to the lake.]
Y-Yeah...we just want to talk. We won't fight you.
[The ghost woman seems to look at them with distrust as she floats over the water, looking for a trick. Elliot holds up his hands and drops his staff]
See? No fighting.
no subject
"Strange." Her voice is a hissing burble, as if her lungs are still filled with water even in this form. "Why are you here?"
It's progress, at least, and Momo doesn't figure there's any reason to talk around it.]
The pearls in the lake. Some of the local Witches are curious about what they could do as a spell ingredient.
[The ghost looks at Momo for several seconds before seeming to accept the answer, and then turns to focus on Elliot.
"What of your reason?"
The intense focus with which she seems to be asking makes Momo consider that being as honest as possible might've been the right course. It does strike him as how someone unused to hiding it looks for tells.]
