[ open ] When you light a candle...

Who: Vanitas + Open
When: All Iuneril
Where: Various
What: Open Quest Prompts + Closed Prompts | Hit me up at [plurk.com profile] jardaan if you'd like!
Warnings: TBD



( On Fleece )

[ This isn't the first time there's been something going on with the sheep, right? Well the first time Vanitas hadn't been all that interested. Honestly he's not all that interested this time either. However, the reports of sheep with fangs has sort of piqued his interested. The only reason that Vanitas is there is to poke some fun at people. He has no intention of actually helping. So that's what he does. He'll see someone intimidated by one of the wooly beasts and then he jeers. Vanitas mocks and teases. Because that is the sort of person that he is. Who could possibly be afraid of these things?

Of course the tables turn a little, don't they? While Vanitas doesn't help anyone out - not one bit - he seems to have his own following of sheep after some time. They eventually block Vanitas in and he shoves at them. He's not nervous about their forward attitude. ]


Go away! [ Oh they aren't budging. ] Come on! Get lost!

[ The sheep aren't going anywhere. In the process of Vanitas trying to get them to go away, one licks his cheek instead. ]

Augh! Gross!

[ He might have forgotten about the fact that animals like his aura, okay? ]


( Berry Picking )

[ Seems like all of the bakeries are wanting these iunerberries. It feels like pretty tedious work, so Vanitas doesn't really take any interest in it at all. However, when one of the shops is offering double? That is when he takes notice. How hard can it be to pick some berries and get some money for it, after all?

Hence he is out in the fields, with what feels like a bunch of people. Vanitas' basket is coming along fairly well, but he is trying to keep to himself. There are a few people that Van can get on okay with, but for the most part groups still annoy him.

Come bother him? All he's doing is plucking berries. One in particular catches his eye. Just what do these iunerberries taste like? ]



( Candle Crafts )

[ After Irhya drags him to this activity the first time, Vanitas will stop by now and then. How many people have told him that he needs to find a hobby? Thancred sure seems to have been encouraging it. Vanitas would prefer to do something other than create candles for a holiday that he knows nothing about nor cares to but whatever.

He doesn't take to carving anything or designing. Vanitas is pretty content with just the pouring aspect. The staff teaching those that are wanting to learn are used to this, but are trying to coerce Van into learning how to design as well.

The look on his face is one of disgust. ]



( Silent Forest )

[ Vanitas is going to be going out each and every time an infusion is requested. Each and every time he's going to say this: ]

I don't need any help. I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself. Go find someone else.

[ At least that's what his response is to anyone that approaches him. Yet in the end that isn't going to work, is it? In the end someone is going to be stubborn enough to work through his prickly exterior and come along with him, huh? Thus here he is, in the company of someone that he never asked for, walking through the forest. ]

The leyline should be somewhere around here. Let's just get this done and go.


( Wildcard )

[ As always, I am open to any and all ideas. If none of the prompts tickle your fancy, just throw something my way and I'll roll with whatever. Or just get with me and we can do something else! ]

( sheep. why'd it have to be sheep? actually, lio doesn't have any particular fears when it comes to animals, mostly because he has very little experience with them. they look pretty fluffy and uncomfortably so--- death by overheating seems reasonable when they're all so round.

what he doesn't expect are the fangs, though they don't brandish them at the harpy, who is being very careful to keep them away from his wings. )


Hm... please don't bite them...

( he winces, knowing that pleading with them is probably pointless. but lio does his best to make his way over to the familiar voice, to see where the sheep has gone too far. )

... it likes you.
piromare: (d35)

[personal profile] piromare 2020-06-02 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
To me? It's just enough.

( because tucked away, hidden from sight by way of his wings, are some shears. ones that can easily get the job done, and he makes sure to reveal them to vanitas as he approaches... without the sheep seeing them. )

They're not hurting you, are they?

( there is some concern. what if those tongues are somehow dangerous??? he might have to get a closer look... )
piromare: (d40)

[personal profile] piromare 2020-06-03 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
... they're just sheep. ( he pauses, then huffs. ) With dangerous looking teeth, but they're not predators.

( at least that's what lio always believed. how could anything so fluffy be aggressive? besides, after seeing one lick van's cheek, unless they were getting some kind of taste test in before going in for more... well. they would make a fool of lio. )

Just hold still for a moment. They seem to really like you.

( and it's cute. sorry that he's smiling so much, but he can't repress that. )

Berry Picking

I never pegged you to be the 'berry-picking' type.

[Long time no see, Vanitas.]
inlikethebrume: (Really Now?)

Berries~

[personal profile] inlikethebrume 2020-06-03 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Guess who's joining you in berry picking? Your mom. She also notices you looking at the berry like that. She knows.]

Hungry now, are we?

... what about you has them so calm? I thought they were going to be difficult to manage, but when they're almost begging to get stroked...

( soft mumbles as he approaches the first one, the sheep that gave van the bitty lick. he's able to safely dig the cutters into the wool and start trimming it. he focuses on making sure he doesn't accidentally stab the poor thing. it just wants love while it tries not to melt! )

Don't worry. I'm going as fast as I can.

( that sheep is about almost done... )

Have you ever flown before?
piromare: (d23)

[personal profile] piromare 2020-06-05 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
( he wonders about what kind of magic would offer such a peaceful and composed presence. would it be something light? something inviting and warm that could soothe others... though lio isn't able to cast magic, it never hurt him to learn a little about what he could offer as a monster to a witch in the form of bonds. )

I see. ( sorry. more smiles for you, vanitas. ) And I mean if you've ever been able to use your magic in order to fly, like a bird.

( his wings twitch, almost wishing to be acknowledged. meanwhile, the first sheep is done and he's onto the second, this one a little more keen on getting rid of the incredibly dense wool. )
inlikethebrume: (How 'Cute')

[personal profile] inlikethebrume 2020-06-05 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Also someone has to watch your ass after you got yourself injured.]

Didn't they say it was due to the upcoming festival?

[Not fun now is it? This is how she felt when she was sick!]

I can assume baking and for other specialties.

I've flapped them a few times. But it's like stretching a limb I've never used before, I don't know how strong it'll actually be...

( his voice trails off as he works through the second sheep, taking a moment to wipe his shears on his pants. it doesn't look like the sheep care about anything but wanting to get touched, in any way, by vanitas. lio wonders if the fact he's somewhat bird-like might make him feel attracted in the same way, as he reaches down and pats the third one, which gives van's side a gentle headbutt.

cute. )


I fear that I'll fall. That, somehow, I'll plummet and crash. I could fly using the Promare before, but this is different.

( he softly clicks his tongue, annoyed with himself. )

Maybe I'm being stupid, but I want to be careful too.

[ Fordola rem Lupis was one who'd decided to go for the sheep. But she was not intimidated. Not one bit. However, she noticed the ones surrounding this grumpy person - and she couldn't help but smirk. ]

And 'ere I thought they were scared.
