[open] june catch-all
Who: Near and OPEN
When: Backdated to the full moon and covering most of June
Where: various locations
What: a change, a call-out, and a catch-all
Warnings: some body horror and potentially grisly situations
i. full moon
[He's been expecting this for some time. That doesn't make it any easier when it happens.
The itching had started again over the past few days, the telltale sign that he would be shedding his skin again soon. It's when he'd begun to feel weak in the knees the whole day prior that he knew he was in for the worst of it. He'd been fortunate to be able to keep his legs up until that point.
The transformation itself is painful, but he lives on his own and doesn't have to disturb anyone else with how unseemly it all is. All the same, he bites into the edge of his sheet as it happens to avoid screaming. That could still attract unwanted attention from passer-bys.
He would have been all right if this was all he had to go through. He could have laid on the floor the rest of the night and slept it off. Unfortunately, Near has gone quite some time now without an effective bond. The one he'd had with Mello had only lasted until the man's disappearance, and hadn't done much to help his sanity in this place. As a result of that, and of this full moon, the young man goes temporarily out of his mind.
The now full-fledged naga, hungry from the act of transforming, breaks out of his own house and makes his way toward the docks. Some part of him still considers the woods past the walls too dangerous, but there's a chance he might be able to catch something in the water or, barring that, at least he'll come across plenty of rats.
He doesn't see people as prey, but it's not a pleasant situation he'll be waking from nonetheless.]
ii. back in shop
[The following is over the network some days later, once Near is more or less himself again.]
Good afternoon. May name is Eli Dagwood and I run a small children's toy shop called "Life's Playthings".
We are now fully operational but could still use a hand or two. If you're curious and think you may be qualified, please let me know. We would love to have you.
[Thankfully this is over text, otherwise the lack of enthusiasm Near would have included in that last statement might have been a turn-off.]
iii. month of crawling
[Near is going to be spending a lot of time this month just learning how to move around in his new form, so there will be a lot of crawling along the ground and slumping over things because standing upright like all those naga in modern day fantasy stories is harder than it looks!
So this is basically a wildcard for any interaction you might want throughout the month. If you'd rather contact me about details, I'm on plurk at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
