[Open] One Foot In Front Of The Other

Who: Mira and YOU
When: All throughout June month
Where: Aefenglom, outside the city
What: Catchall log
Warnings: Nothing to note as of yet, assume Shadowbringers Spoilers just in case.



Out of the City: Tell Me A Story! (Omega Storyline Spoilers Possible)

[It's something Mira has been doing for some time now; between playing guard and bringing supplies over to those affected by the Cwlyd, one of her favorite things is to go see the children living in the area and read to them. It's a small thing and at first, she had her concerns about it just being something to take their mind off the pain of what ails them for only a second. Distractions are good but will it help? She almost declined to go this time because she didn't feel like her heart was in it. But then she remembered something: the stories she had written while in her mostly self-isolation. The various tales of the people she had met along her journey such as the great Crimson Duelist X'rhun Tia, wielder of the notorious Red Magic.

But there is...the bigger stories she has been working on. She had showed Prompto the draft for the first story and while her confidence isn't as great, a story was a story and last time she was annoyed at the fact that there was nothing good for the kids to hear. But she had the drafts for the first two stories of Alpha...

Seeing the children huddle around without worry, Mira gives a gentle smile.]


I have a new story for you all, something I wrote. It's about a chocobo named Alpha and how he helped save a world.

[To anyone around, they would hear her begin to tell the tale. Now if they were familiar with her star, they may know it as the conflict between them and the mechanical being named Omega. But don't spoil it; the kids seem to be engrossed. But will you join in listening? Or perhaps you catch her after storytime where she keeps quiet while fingering the draft pages. There's a tiny smile on her face, as if she's pleased with the work she's done.]



Oops All Berries!

[This is rather simple. Just picking berries and gathering them for the people who need them for Litha. Or at least according to Mira, Another Damn Festival. Perhaps it is the theme of love that makes her feel a bit sour about it but like hells she'll be going to that. Just another time where she'll keep herself in her apartment office until the atmosphere settles but it's not like her to not help someone when it's needed. Plus the money is good so she can't complain.]

It's been some time since I've been outside like this. Feels rather nice.

[But she is a little hungry. Would it be an issue if she had just one berry...? Looking around to see if the coast is clear, she takes the smallest one she could find and quickly pops it into her mouth, curious as to why it is so popular. But when she sees the person next to her, she gives them the flattest stare.]

What? I was curious.



Sew N Sews: Another Damn Fetch Quest

[Again, the need for money and the idea of just getting out of the apartment was more of a plus than the idea of it becoming another damn fetch quest. Abyss help her, she can hear Fray in her head yelling not to do it for the millionth time. But it was honestly something she could do even while at her other job: delivery while doing her round from the potions shop. It makes sure she is constantly moving and not make her tired and bored. Trust us, she doesn't do well bored.

It's during one of these trips to the tailor that once she drops off the fabric, one of the workers decide to try and make an offer. Mira has a decently sized figure so maybe she could...try on some of the clothes meant for the brothel workers for the festival. She's expecting the dark knight to say yes because that's how the Mirrorbound seem to be after all!]


You want me to do that? Sorry, but I'm not really the type. Just delivering your order here, ma'am.

[Do you cheer Mira on for standing her ground or are you someone making the clothing and need a model to check if the work is decent? Either way, she does not look thrilled to try the things on but maybe she can be convinced.]

Exactly. It's life in miniature, wouldn't you say? [He shifts, feathers sliding out of a child's curious grasp.]. Or- all lives tell a story, in their own way, and so- where does this one begin?
wordsinthesoul: (keep going [arr])

[…well. Given he hadn't heard of the story before, he's not surprised- but his ears flick for a moment, before he does his best to smooth the irritation out.]

If it's a chocobo, then it must be an extraordinary one. I have to confess my attention quite caught, now. Do you believe that knowing it would change anything?
wordsinthesoul: (beg temperance [arr])

[There's another quick flick of ears and wings- really. He can't help feeling nettled by the implication that this is for his own good- and he can't help wondering what pieces he's missing, if he apparently needs this.]

Then I don't think there should be a problem with it. Besides which, if something speaks too closely, it might be an opportunity to work around it.

[He's not expecting a hundred percent truth, here.]

Carteneau…. That would be Omega, then? …of course it needed to make itself trouble. [He frowns at the mention of a primal- Fordola had mentioned one attacking Baelsar's Wall. Could it be the same? And-] Someone created one- ah, no, never mind. Don't let me distract you. Were the Ironworks' people the ones to find it?
wordsinthesoul: (ah yes that happened [arr])

[personal profile] wordsinthesoul 2020-07-18 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, 'tis the times. [Or something of the sort.

One ear twitches back, and he blinks- he'd assumed they would be moving on. Is that enough to be rid of any concerns about the future, then?]


The Alliance…?

[…as a plan to get them involved, it worked.

For here and now, though, they have an audience, some of whom are trying to follow this.]


…let us speak on that later.

So that granted the primal such power. In any case- we turn our attention to the Ironworks' investigation. Where was it? Had the chocobo arrived ahead of them?
