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]

[got something else? feel free to toss it down here! or contact me at for

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

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Why, of course you need both. If anyone says otherwise, they are idiots.

[For a moment, Lahabrea seems terribly confused, as if Sora had said something so painfully obvious that somehow he must have said something wrong. But what??]

Mistake me not, child. I certainly side with the night in all its magnificence and power, but not foolishly. A preponderance of darkness is as dangerous as a flood of light, and both are to be avoided at all costs, else risk the very variety of life I am interested in seeing.

[It's true ... more or less, from a distinctly Ascian perspective. The things Sora has contended with, with Darkness enveloping and destroying entire worlds - Lahabrea might well understand a little, but his devotion to the dark and the God that ruled it was at least in favor of continued existence.

The idea of annihilating it all was a bit numbing honestly.]

It is good, and proper, that a star might defend itself to maintain the way it is meant to be and not what others would force it to become! Though this one I feel is NOT defending itself.

[It feels more like the world is a BRAT and just wants to be annoying.]

[Well that actually makes Sora feel so much better. A moment of Sora's concern that this guy might be a "shroud everything in darkness" guy turns out to actually have his head on straight about the balance between light and dark! It's surprising but it's a big relief too!]

Phew, for a second there I thought you might be just like them. Sorry, I got a little ahead of myself for a second!

[But then he addresses the second part with a bit of a gentle laugh, hopping on the balls of his feet.]

And okay, I know! Turning into a monster is really weird! But in the end, you might learn some pretty great things. You've got feathers, right? What kind of monster are you turning into? A harpy?

[Correct him if he's wrong!]

Given all you have spoken of, I can't fault you your worry.

[The Organization was bad enough, involving Ascians simply wouldn't be good for anyone.

But the puca's wariness given those same people apparently clipped his metaphorical wings multiple times is perfectly sensible. More sensible than he's used to with most mortals in fact.]

I believe a harpy, yes.

[Lahabrea is mistaken, as he frequently is.]

Or a chimera mayhap, there are few things to become with feathers. By the colors, I may take after one of mine own creations, and spend my time here as kin to phoenixes, but I must wait to be certain. It .. takes some time to gain defining traits, does it not..?

[.. Obligated to ask a kid of all things, but Sora seemed rather familiar with the process!]

[What a turf war would it be between The Organization and the Ascians, though...]

Are you saying you might be a phoenix?! That's so cool!

[Ah yes, asking the kid about monster things. Luckily Sora is actually very well versed in these things seeing as he's live in this magical city for almost a year now. He's fully changed into a puca and his bondmates are very smart about all things so he wasn't short of education along the way.]

But yeah-! It can take a few months for monster changed to happen! I think about half a year does it all but it's different for everyone. Just be careful about the growing pains. But you know what? I know harpies have great singing voices too. Do you like singing?

[He's not saying that to sound silly! A harpy's voice is actually very powerful!]

[Lahabrea, being biased, would absolutely put the odds on his own people. The subject of becoming a monster still isn't a comfortable one, but it did at least have direct relevance to his immediate future.

And Sora has been here a while, that much is obvious.]

I'll find out in time, but it seems so.

[He recognizes some of his own work! Better than taking up as a fish or serpent, neither of which he had much dealing with.. but it left him wondering if he'd have a firebird's OTHER skills, such as healing. He'd have to wait.[

...Heh.

[Lahabrea's voice isn't exactly pleasant to the ear, and hasn't been for quite a while.]

I think, should I trend in the path of the birdfolk, that I will be like more unto crows than songbirds. I don't think I could produce a song worth listening to these days.

[At least Sora seems a little amused at that response. Some people are just not into singing and that's okay. He bounces on his heels a little bit either way.]

Alright! Still, I think harpies are pretty cool. If you get to learn how to fly that's even cooler.

[Gosh, he misses flying already.]

Mayhap you would have been better suited a bird than a rabbit, then.

[Speculation; why WAS Sora a puca and not a harpy? Was there even some sort of defining reasoning behind any of it?]

Are you content with what has become of you?

Huh, good question! I think I'd like being a harpy. I think?

[Flying around, singing a lot, air-headed. Yeah, it checks out.]

But I'm happy with being a puca too. I guess I'm kind of used to it. I like being faster than I was and getting some puca magic of my own is neat.

[There are other things that he's not happy with. Like the yellow-amber eyes he has for example. But other than that it's not so bad.]

And my bondmate seems to like it too. Haha!

[And he can't really argue with that part.]

[Maybe it was Sora's familiarity with being changed by different worlds that made this easier to accept. He certainly didn't seem too distressed about any of it.

Or honestly about much at all, the only thing that had seemingly struck a resonant chord was the concern that Lahabrea might be inclined towards dropping foreign worlds into darkness eternal.]

In the end, I suppose that is what is most important. That you accept it, and that those you are closest to are also not distressed..

[There's a moment's pause, gaze falling upon the shawl that had in the end done nothing for him, and a small sigh.]

Well. If nothing else, let me not keep you from your search to see if that might work on someone else. There is much to do and never enough time to do it in. .. Though if I may ask it of you.. should any of these ... individuals which you have had trouble with in the past appear, might you be so kind as to point them in my direction.

[Sora smiles at the note and gives a small shrug and a nod of his head. He should be going now too, having to return the shawl to the owner by the end of the day as well. So he gives a friendly wave his goodbye.]

Yeah, sure! I can do that, but I really hope none of them decide to show up anyway. That would be a really big pain in my butt.

[He laughs sheepishly.]

But yeah, I better get going! It was cool meeting you!
