[open] seven am the usual morning lineup
Who: Sora & YOU
When: The month of November
Where: Where these quests happen
What: A catch-all for the month of November! Quests and open prompts inside!
Warnings: Tba
[A: Quest: under new management]
[Sora is a new employee of the recently established Harbor District orphanage so he regularly helps with rounding up rowdy children, helping with meal prepping any other kinds of tasks needed around the orphanage. He is more than eager to try and coax other people to join in as volunteers too. Helping the kids cheer up, doing some crafts or face painting with them or even just sharing stories to help lift their spirits is always, whole-heartedly, welcomed.
On this balmy Autumn day, Sora can be found in the harbour area with a few of the orphaned children working on some papercrafts on the boardwalk. One of the children happens to be rowdier than the others. A small, orphaned chimera child that has quite a sharp set of teeth and a long lion-like tail. The child hops up to his feet and starts to run amok and Sora only has a few seconds to jump up to his feet to try and gather him up.]
Hey- Wait, you gotta stay with the group today, okay!
[But the chimera child decides he doesn’t want to listen today. His teeth are growing every day so he’s irritable and teething on anything he can get his mouth on. That might happen to be you as the chimera boy makes a beeline straight for you! Watch out! He might bite! Sora will attempt to scoop the boy up into his arms if the child doesn’t get to you first!]
Ahh--!! Watch out! Sorry!!
[These kids are all good and adorable, please don’t be too mad!]
[B: Quest: veggies tales]
[Planting vegetables in the community garden is a task Sora is more than acquainted to. As a puca Sora’s appetite for anything green and freshly grown can be quite voracious. Since turning into a monster Sora’s stomach has become almost completely vegetarian because of his new rabbit-like behaviours so working in the garden is more like a labour of love too.
He’s hunkered down in the gardens that day working on planting some fresh cauliflower bulbs with a carefree tune on his lips. His rabbit ears twitch once he finishes another patch with a pat of his hand. But after a moment he seems to frown as he sees the ground start to wiggle.]
Huh? What the-!
[And just like that a small cat head pops out of the ground and lets out a tiny meow. Its leaf-like ears flicker and it starts to try to wiggle out of the ground. The kitten looks like it is half-plant and half-feline! It has green and white splotches with a matching leafy mane around its neck.]
Did you just grow out of the ground?!
[This cauliflower-shaped cat might be in for some trouble! Or will it be giving its own trouble?!]
[C: Quest: shawl about love]
[There happens to be a task to help someone in love find their one true love. Truth be told Sora is a big romantic at heart so he couldn’t really pass up the idea of helping someone find their one true love. This task requires Sora to offer a shawl to various different people in order to see if they happen to be the one. Sora has a gray but magical piece of cloth that will turn blue if they wear it and happen to be that one destined person.
Sora hops up to anyone who might seem willing with a friendly smile and a curious twitch of his long brown-furred rabbit ears.]
Hey there! I’m trying to help someone out, could you try to see if this charm works on you?
[He’s asking around for anyone to give the shawl a try! Maybe you’ll find true love today!]
[D: Quest: a watery pit]
[There have been missing reports of a merrow gone missing with all leads connecting back to River Temese. Sora decides to help out with the search in order to find the missing merrow. He’s not an aquatic type monster but he’s more than capable of swimming and holding his breath so he feels like he should help out.
Near the river Sora sniffs at the air for any traces of lingering monster scents or witch signatures that might give him a clue.]
That’s weird... I think I can smell something different but it all ends right here at the riverbank.
[He’d be more than willing to team up with anyone to help find the missing merrow somewhere nearby. And discover the reason why the merrow went missing in the first place.]
[E: wildcard]

michrure some plotting! closed threads will also be below.]

Prurient Petals
However it seems they are pretty pesky and that getting the pollen or any part of the plant is lucrative. That's when Vanitas starts to get interested. Of course he had promised Sora and Lio not to take as many trips into the Wilde without back up... So that means he has to ask someone to come along. Sora is the one that actually approaches him first, so he might as well agree. Maybe it will be good for the little Pucca, who has been on edge a little himself more often than not - a problem that Vanitas knows the solution to, finally, but has yet to bring up. Maybe working out excess energy will be a benefit to them both.
Granted, Vanitas had heard that the pollen isn't toxic, but it should still be avoided. When he's asked why, many locals seem to blush and turn away from him. That's the part he doesn't understand. How can he go into something properly prepared if they don't speak to him on it?
It's because it's embarrassing and Vanitas looks younger than what he actually is.Vanitas is standing in their shared room, staring at Void Gear. He's wondering if it is even worth it to bring the Keyblade along. It sounds like, to him, magic is going to be more effective than hacking away at those plants. ]
Are you getting ready?
no subject
[Sora is somewhere in the background rooting through the closet for something that he misplaced. Since moving in Sora's chaotic organizational skills have maybe started to take over their now shared room. It's not too bad yet but Sora's already starting to misplace things...]
Here we go!
[Sora pulls out the bag he had been wanting to use to carry some of their things on this little expedition. It has a holster attached to it just for a keyblade. How handy.]
Do you think we'll need a whole lot of stuff? I guess just some snacks. Maybe a charm or two in case there's poison in that pollen stuff.
[They're off to smack around and demolish some plants. How hard can all of that be? Sora might have left most of the research to Vanitas but he gets the general gist of the task. Find these overgrown plants and take them down before they cause more damage and something something avoid the toxic pollen.]
no subject
There's no poison in the pollen, Sora. They use it to make love potions and crap like that. No one said anything about it being poisonous.
[ Vanitas sees Sora taking his Keyblade... That's kind of the final factor in his own decision. He straps it to his back. Thankfully he had made sure that the enchantment on one of his earring had been renewed. His elemental spells should be augmented. So, sure! That should be all that they need.
He nods and they start making their trip towards the Wall. They'll be going just outside it so it's not as if it's a day trip. ]
You did grab something to replenish magical energy, yeah?

The days seems to blend together so he needs to find some way to keep himself entertained and busy. However, what he hasn't been expecting is to hear Sora's voice shouting out. It has his ears twitching, a strange feeling of trepidation beginning to wash over him.
Deciding to change his mind and head elsewhere, it's far too late for Lavi to leave when a certain chimera child seems to latch onto his arm, sharp teeth digging in.]
OW!
no subject
Geeze! Oh- Crap!
[Sora quickly runs right up to Lavi and scoops the kid up but the child is not letting go of Lavi's arm just yet.]
I'll get him off just don't move! He's just a kid and his teeth are really bothering him lately!
[Anyone hear of a teething chimera baby...]
no subject
[He thinks. Maybe.
He sure feels blood beginning to come out from how hard the boy is biting him.]
I guess standard teething toys doesn't work on him, huh?

C, because what is love anyway
Is that a shawl. ... It is.
... It looks harmless enough. The Ascian did not tend towards kindness exactly.. but he could reasonably fake it when the situation called for it and this, for now, seemed to call for it.]
...What is this charm intended to do?
[His voice still isn't particularly pleasant to listen to, but he keeps his tone carefully moderate as he extends one metal-clawed hand to accept the scarf should Sora choose to hand it over. A shawl, really. What could it possibly be for??]
no subject
None the less! Sora is all smiles, long rabbit ears twitching as he watches curiously. The shawl is handed over without a fuss.]
Well! It's a special sort of charm! [Sora beams, smiling boyishly.] It can detect something special about your heart!
[Sora, it's probably not good to be so vague!]
no subject
Hm.
[Something special. It doesn't have any reaction so far, and he's careful of his claws to not damage the material, but even when draped about, it doesn't brighten to the blue that would indicate Lahabrea is that man's lost love.
It's just not meant to be!]
I'm afraid I can detect no changes, young one.

already holding onto a cauliflower cat of his own, he approaches sora with a wide grin. )
Yeah, they are! Kinda cute aren't they?
no subject
[Sora is in total awe. He's never seen any creatures that look like they're part-plant like this before. It's such a cute and unique thing to see and Sora can't help the way his nose twitches at the scent of fresh greens...]
Ranulf! Have you seen anything like this before?
[He laughs, giving the other a smile.]
Nice hands, by the way!
no subject
( certainly not soren. certainly not any of the other mages he knows. but it does spark some deeper thought, about how it could be a good way to teach younger generations of laguz how to chase down animals in a practical and reusable way?
he strokes the cat as his hands flicker back into normal ones. )
I've been learning how to shapeshift using the magic here. It's still difficult, but I've been getting better at holding a few changes. Not all of them at once though.
( ranulf shrugs, offering an airy and light smile. )
Oh! Don't let that one get away, Sora.
( that cauliflower cat that's just popped out? it looks like it's about to book it... )

But with one hand shoved in his pocket and the other gripping his umbrella, Sanji looks at Sora with a curious expression, willing to listen to him.]
What sort of charm are you testing?
no subject
It's a charm that detects something special about your heart! Wanna give it a try? I promise it's harmless!
[His puca ears twitch! He looks so curious and earnest! Even if he doesn't tell the entire story behind the shawl...]
no subject
You some sort of romantic? [Despite his words, he hasn't brushed Sora off completely, in fact, a slightly amused smile crosses his face.]
I get it, trying to attract a lady to you? Sort of missing the mark there, kid.

Ow!
[It comes out as half-yell, half dog-like yelp. He turns to the chimera child, ears angled to the sides.]
Hey! What did we say about biting??
no subject
You've gotta listen to Roxas, okay! He's your big brother too.
[Sora tries to coax the chimera child softly but also goes to hold the boy to try and get him to stop latching onto Roxas so hard... Sorry, Roxas... ]

Huh!?
[exactly because of his reaction. after letting out a startled grunt when he feels pointy teeth connecting with his arm, Styx looks down at the culprit - and laughs, pulling him up into his grasp easily. yes, he's absolutely letting this child gnaw on his shoulder now without so much as a hint of displeasure. this must (hopefully?) be a regular thing.]
Haha, didn't know you guys were going out today!
no subject
So he skids to a stop and lets out a huff and smiles quickly after. He rubs his hair with one hand.]
Thanks! For a second there I thought he was gonna start running zoomies around people.
[That would be embarrassing. But also kind of cute?]
We're out trying to get some energy out today, aren't we!
[The little chewer seems to wiggle his tail in delight, clinging to the taller man happily. Sora is so relieved for the help!]

Under New Management
But it's when she hears Sora yell that Mira jumps out of the way, still holding the box. Thankfully the child doesn't crash into her but why in the Abyss are they running around like that??]
Sora? What's going on??
[Child, why is there a small one doing zoomies?]
no subject
Sorry- Mira! Just uh- [Running noises.] We're trying to burn a little energy today!
[And thus why the child is running so many zoomies around her! Don't drop the goods!]

under new management...!
however- he is just starting to realize that the smoky district he's wandered into might not be the best place for that fresh air he sought, so he's considering trying his luck elsewhere... when he suddenly feels a small pair of hands grab at his tail.
and then, a split second later, feels the unmistakeable feeling of two small fangs biting into it.
he lets out a surprised sort of yelp, books dropping from his arms as he twists to catch sight of the cause: a small child, looking up at him cheerfully, tail still in mouth. ]
Ah- hello there, might I... have that back...? [ he starts, still reeling a little from the surprise, before he finally notices sora chasing after. ]
N-no trouble at all, [ he says automatically, with an strong attempt at a pleasant smile. ]
Is... this little one yours?
no subject
Uhh-! Yeah, he's mine! [Sora's long rabbit ears seem to dip as his cheeks flare with pink.] I mean he's not mine I'm only watching him today! We're from the orphanage!
[Sora goes to reach out for the smiling little child.]
Come on, you have to let go of the nice man, okay? We don't bite people it's not very nice!
what's a notif... what's an e-mail.... we just don't know...

( However, she pauses when he shows the charm to her, hesitating before reaching for it. )
What exactly will it do?
( She knows that Sora wouldn't try to do anything dangerous to other people, but... if it's a magical charm, she can't help but be a little uncertain. )
no subject
[Sora returns the greeting with a happy wave. Then he holds up the shawl a little proudly.]
It can test out if your heart is in love or not!
[Oh, how bold!]
Want to give it a try?
