[open] why is it you use those tragic methods

Who: Momo and you! (and 4th wallers also welcome)
When: Second half of Maiuril
Where: Around, but mostly the Haven and the Wilde Hunt area
What: "Stage Hands Wanted" quest shenanigans, a network call for people to help him practice counterspells and healing, magic practice of the "using dance to cast" variety, and considerably more terrible magic practice once the whole magic surge business starts getting to him properly.
Warnings: None yet.

[a: stage handy]

[With theatre just recently getting the unbanning treatment, Momo is practically crawling all over the preparations for new shows. He's even joined one or two of them as an actor, and it's possible to catch him out practicing roles with some of the groups (apparently, his character type is villains and he's better at it than one might expect considering his usual manner), but outside of that, he's more than happy to join up with anyone who's helping with the sets and props and what have you.

His usual energy is as intact as ever as he weaves through locals and Mirrorbound both who might be helping with the stage needs, poking his head over shoulders or tapping people on them with a lurid pink nail.]


Need a hand with that? There's some pretty big projects the backstage people are working on here.

Hi everyone~~!!
I've been studying abjuration recently and I think I'm starting to get some of the techniques down enough to progress ╭( ・ㅂ・)و
But it's kind of hard to actually practice healing magic or counterspells properly without anyone to heal or counter...
So if anyone has any little injuries they'd like to get rid of, or wants to practice some offensive magic I can try to block, let me know here!!
I'm available pretty often so I'm sure we can work something out quickly o(〃^▽^〃)o


[[*Alternately, feel free to handwave your character responding to this message and jump straight to action - Momo would likely direct them to his cottage in the Haven, which can be identified by the pair of petalwolves hanging around outside, one peach and one snowdrop.]]

[c: practice makes perfect?]
(a. before/after the 21st-22nd, haven)


[Surrounding the new moon, while Momo is worse affected in the lead-up than most considering his lack of a true bond, he manages to mostly keep a lid on it until the new moon is almost on top of him. Besides his requests for people to practice abjuration against, he's also trying an alternate casting style for some of his illusions, since he's more familiar with them and figures it'll probably be easier to change his focus when he's not also still figuring out the magic itself.

So he can be found just outside his cottage, his two petalwolves looking at him somewhat quizzically as he dances around the two of them, a fast-paced little thing with a lot of flourish in the arms, but clearly meant to be a reasonably quick cast despite the nature of the casting method. Once he completes a circle around them, when his foot lands back where he started, he and the two wolves disappear completely, and there's no sound or even impression of someone being there...

...until Momo's head appears, seemingly disembodied, crossing over the circle his dancing had drawn. He sticks an arm out a moment later, too, so he can cheerfully wave down anyone who might've been close enough to see his shenanigans.]


Hey, you got a minute? I need a second head to make sure this worked.

(b. 21st-22nd, wilde hunt range)

[Of course, when he's lacking a true bond, he can only deal with his rising magic for so long. His familiars certainly help, but it seems to be too much to even flow through them as naturally as it usually does. So while he's been out in the hunt area here and there at other times of the month to practice barriers against actual enemies like the Shades, now he's just here to burn off as much magic as possible.

Which is how people in the hunt area who stray too close to the trees may find themselves rather suddenly confronted with what looks like a large dinosaur straight out of the Jurassic Park book of what dinosaurs look like in popular media. It's huge, it roars loudly enough to feel like it's shaking the trees - but the observant might notice that there's a high outstretched branch that's simply passing through its body as if it wasn't there. If one chooses to get any closer, the dinosaur will bend down to roar right in their face, and while the feeling of breath and the sound it makes are realistic, it won't chase anyone who runs from it, and reaching a hand out to it will pass straight through, as will any attacks. That, and anyone who looks like they might be hanging around long enough to figure it out will be treated to the sight of the dinosaur seeming to rapidly begin developing a Cwyld infection that it definitely didn't have a moment ago and is conveniently focused on whatever part of the creature's body is closest to the person. Because that's definitely how actual Cwyld works.

And those with particularly strong hearing or who are just good at picking up things out of place might hear quick, agitated breaths from inside the dinosaur, or feel the unpleasant energy of exactly how much magic is going into this construct. So, as it looses another powerful roar and brings its sharp teeth to snap feet away from your face...

...do you run, or do you try to find out what's really going on?]

[[Feel free to hit me up at [plurk.com profile] reviseleviathan or by PM to plot other stuff! I'm up for the Counting Sheep quest if anyone's interested, but because of Momo's circumstances this month I'd need to plan it out a bit first, hence the lack of an open prompt for it.]]

Right, right.

[A playful salute before he grabs one of the more thicker blankets and carefully tucks the gg under it.]
