Mareuer - Catch all

When: Throughout the month
Where: The city

Warnings: Will be added as needed



Wine time is fine
[Mikasa wasn't a big drinker. Quite the opposite in fact. She'd only drank alcohol a few times and had little interest in it. But work was work. And carrying crates of fruits and filled wine casks was something she knew she could do.

The other part of the job... Well she could do that. Mess didn't bother her that much. But it was strange and she winced as her foot sank into the berry's, squelching them. ]


I'm never drinking wine...

[She didn't care if she'd cleaned her feet. It was dubbed foot juice. Not helped by the tainted wine she'd seen delivered to the higher ups. Mikasa was perfectly fine with the mindless stomping around on the berries to be her only contact with the stuff.

After a good few hours she calls it a day and started clearing up. Scowling and scrubbing at her hands. The strange splotch of colour wasn't shifting. Even after the second dollop of soap, and the skin around it was turning red. She huffs, looking over her shoulder at the person she'd heard. ]


Did he say we had to do anything to clean this?

[Despite this. She does turn up again. Wearing the same stained shirt and skirt. They'd been washed, but... No joy. So she wasn't staining anything else. ]

Green(and every other colour) - fingers
a. Supplies
[Now the initial money issue had been resolved and she had a somewhat stable income it was time to deal with that garden they'd inherited. But to do that she needed things. She had a vague idea of the tools she'd need. But some of the rusted ones that had been abandoned had been new.

So a trip to the shopping district was in order. Though she did need a better weapon for the next expedition, but from what she'd worked out that wouldn't be for a while. Now seemed like the best time to start this.

The first store she hits up was a relatively small. Mostly flowers. Mikasa's drab olive coat blending with the unopened blooms. Then she jumps suddenly, backing the hell away and into someone else in the cramped store.

That plant just turned into a bird? Many birds, all suddenly flying around.]



b. Sorting that garden
[Eventually though, she's got some gear. And she's been assured that all of the seeds she'd picked up were edible... And that the plants themselves wouldn't eat anyone...

But yes, now she had that it was time to get to work. Though for the time being she had to work out exactly what was in the garden, wading through the tall grass-

Where'd she just go? One second she was there, the next she wasn't. Anyone with good enough hearing would hear the quiet cursing about rabbits from the grass. ]



Full moon, preparations at dusk - limited to 2
[There was an odd amount of purpose to her movements during this full moon. Instead of the directionless wandering of the last, she was taking quick strides down the street. It was almost exactly the same as when she'd had a destination in mind.

The only things not normal about it were the two small... Twigs? Just poking out of her hair. Occasionally they'd move, but not much. And the two large pots she was carrying. The artificial smell of paint drifting from them.

Not that she stops. She's on a mission with her paint. ]


Wildcard
[If you want to plan anything just pm or contact me on [plurk.com profile] kittylyoko. I'm going to be adding a few closed things and more prompts later for things from my CR planning.]

Well, maybe that's it.

[Picking up a child doesn't necessarily mean they're in danger of stealing one.

...this is the naive certainty of a Hakuno who has yet to start bringing baby animals home for keeps, though.]


...Have you shrunk much yet? I lost ten centimeters as soon as I came here.
sealeted: (not what you make of me)

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-07 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember my back ached a lot, before the skin split and my wings came in during the first full moon. It could be something like that.

[She rubs her chin, thoughtful.]

Well, I haven't heard much about other insect traits other than wings, but I know a lot have exoskeletons or chitin. It could be that.
sealeted: (the pounding sound)

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-07 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine are too small to really fly, yet, but they've definitely grown since they first sprouted. I've also been staying awake longer and sleeping in later, so I think I might be more inclined to being nocturnal, the more time goes on...

[Her wings are hard to pin at a glance, but as themes go... the moth probability has officially overtaken the butterfly probability.]

Sometimes I wonder if it would be less confusing being a different kind of Monster...
sealeted: (I'm not)

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-08 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't have wings in that dream, but my back definitely hurt. And... yeah. We seem to be as varied as the Turnskins, honestly.

[Hakuno rubs a finger over her temple, eyes drifting to the antennae winding from Mikasa's.]

If you don't like sweets to begin with, you'll start liking them more or more, probably. Which is... interesting, given the intoxication thing.
sealeted: (who survived?)

[Hakuno has had to deal with her Bonded making jokes about her going bug-eyed or getting extra arms and more, so she knows the feeling.]

I never had many to try before, but I've always liked them too. It's a struggle, not over indulging now that there are so many options. Mostly I try to make sure I'm in good company when I know I'm going to eat a lot. ...just in case.
sealeted: (gonna toss you around)

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-11 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, but...

[Her gaze drops a little.]

I'd like to try them. And, uh... supposedly, anything that makes us particularly happy or excited can make us drunk.

[Carefully, Hakuno nudges one of the chairs out with her toe.]

Would you like to join me for a bit?
sealeted: (without a love song)

[Hakuno was born into War—a rigid, inescapable marathon of combat and conflict. She had learned early to take what happiness she could, where she could, whenever she could.]

I'm Hakuno. And this is called 'needle felting'. If it turns out well, this is going to be a cat.
sealeted: (I'm not)

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-11 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you just need loose wool or a similar sort of fiber and a specially made needle.

[And steady hands and patience, but isn't that all handicrafts, really?]

...well, you need some sort of support and sometimes wire for the body parts, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward.
sealeted: (I'll only want you more)

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-11 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That's probably how you do it for actual clothes.

[Hakuno doesn't know for sure, but it makes sense.

She holds up her needle, for clearer examination.]


See how the tip is?
sealeted: (I'll only want you (more))

[personal profile] sealeted 2020-03-12 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you just fold the loose wool and jab it in.

[Like so.]

You have to make sure to keep each one straight going in and coming out, though. I don't know if I'd call it weaving, exactly... maybe kind of like studding leather?
