July catch-all

Who: Mu and you!
When: Throughtout July
Where: Around aefenglom
What: Catch-all including quest and open prompts
Warnings: none atm

1) Odd-jobs
Mu learns quickly of the culture here, including the months. It is now summer with a blanket of oppressive heat, the air is heavy and humid, with occasional thunderstorms from the past week. Being a witch, he attended the classes at the coven once a week. He was an eager student, wanting to learn as much as possible, and study everything at the coven, but eventually, after classes, he is on his own.

Mu went searching for work. It seems to be the most sensible thing to do in a new world as there is nothing in his bank. He tried to find any job he could find, having no valuable skill of his own and starting from rock bottom.

He tried modeling, wearing whatever fashion they have to blend in with the fashion of this society until he convinced people that he looks like a gentleman. For a while, he works as a model and earned it until they told him they don't need him anymore, beaten by a better-looking gentleman that sold more outfits with his looks and charm skills, which Mu lacked, and so he is out of work in this area.

There was an opening at a bakery, and he works there for a few days before they told him they didn't need him anymore as they already have more than enough workers and they let him go. They were nice about it as they did gave him a dozen of cheerloaves as their thanks. He learned how to make cheerloaves and put magic in them to cheer people, at the very least, and that food can be enchanted.

He works in the apothecary to prepare ingredients and mix potions, and learn several things about raw ingredients from parts of animals and plants with magical value, mixing them into actual potions. He has gotten very good at making potions, that the owner decided to keep him as an apprentice on a long-term basis.

For now, that's how Mu's first weeks went. At the end of the month, he is well-to-do, receives clothes of his own, and can even afford tools and materials for his spellswork.

2) Blink and Miss 'Em
Mu searched the city for the kittens. They're not ordinary kittens as he learns they can play tricks and teleport from one space to another, but he figured out their limitations that they cannot teleport at least 20 ft. With quick relaxes and good sight, he is chasing them all over to catch them and bring them back to Pile's Petagorium.

3) Dopplegangers
It was risky, but he had tried the potion with every sense that it may or may not work. To his wonderment, after he drank a potion, he created a doppleganger, a twin of himself! He stares at his clone, his twin quite helplessly.

Thankfully, while his clone has a mind of his own, he is generally mild-mannered but he causes trouble for him, by not staying close to him, being disobedient, and run wild and amok in the city. Stealing food from the vendors and wandering around the city, not listening to a word to the original Mu had said.


4) Wildcard

Leanne was starting to get used to the life here in the city. Gaining a new roommate or two, trying to cope with the fact that she is a monster. She has seen the man who danced with her so much that one night being a model and... He did look perfect for that job.

She on the other hand.... Couldn't really bake to save her life and after a few threats of being fired, she finally gotten the hang of baking. Consider her bewilderment to see Mu working there for a few days. Though Leanne was fired before he was and she was carrying her own bag of of cheerloaves and frowns as she catches sight of Mu leaving the bakery with his own bag.

Leanne ponders a moment to see if she should offer him comfort before walking up to him. "They.... They fired you as well? I thought you were doing a lot better job at it than me."

She remembered that night and tried to hide her blushing face from him. She was a lady and shouldn't have been dancing with a human male like that. And was was more shameful was the fact that she wanted to be held by him all night long.

"Hello... My lord. I remember you as well." So much blushing.

Though at his words, she blinked and tilts her head. "Really? You seemed to have done a much better job than one as myself." She goes to let out a sigh. "At least they made sure that we are fed."

She idly smiles as he goes to relax before blinking as he admit that he didn't like dancing. A small of panic goes through her but it wasn't shown on her face. No, she will smile regardless.

"You have no need to apologize my lord. I wasn't myself that night as well. I was behaving in a rather lewd way and I must offer my apologies to my lord if I made him uncomfortable with my actions. Even if you dislike dancing, you are a rather great dancing partner and I did, enjoy myself. So have no fear about offending this one."

Mu... You are not helping your case here.

Leanne smiles and shakes her head, trying her best to ease his worries even a little.

"Please my lord, you do not have to explain yourself. I believe that everyone was under a spell. Me, being quite lewd, even towards you. I am not usually that bold or lewd, my lord."

She was blushing now quite a bit at the memory and now, shame and embarrassment for it as well.

"Please, put your worries at ease my lord. I know that the spell made you do it." She spoke in a gentle voice still having a happy-go-lucky smile on her face. "I shouldn't keep you any longer my lord. I still think it was a shame that they fired you as well."

It seems like it. Though he did have a great advantage over her. Leanne, she doesn't know why she felt relaxed around him, especially since their first meeting wasn't one of either of their willful choosing.

"My lord Mu? I am glad that my lord doesn't see me as any of that. I am known as Leanne." She blushes a little before tilting her head. "If I may be so bold as to ask why you think that?"

"I do not believe that anyone was. How are your feet, my lord Mu. They must have been sore from all the dancing."

She quiets as she listens to him before looking away, pondering her next words. "It seemed like you had an incredible power. I didn't know that Beorcs had such powers."

[personal profile] song_princess 2020-07-14 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
She smiles and before having it dawn on her just how long it has been. "I am glad and I am sorry my lord.... I guess your feet would have recovered by now."

Now it was her turn to blink and tilt her head. "You are my lord, you are a Beorc. It is the name of your race."

She forces a small giggle, mostly due from her own embarrassment. "I would be worried if they haven't."

A part of her was praying that he understood her, letting out a small sigh as he does.

"Yes, the other term is a vile insult. My mother would have punished me severely if I called you that, my lord Mu." She giggles out to try and keep the tone light.

"Yes, but one of the crudest." She goes to softly speaks and goes to shake her head. "Even if you wouldn't have minded it, it wouldn't have been right to call you such a crude term."

That question.. It hurts. It hurts to think about but she kept up her smile and shakes her head. "No, I came alone here. But I am not alone as I have a roommate."

A slow breath releasing from her.

"What about you? Has your family come here with you?"

She frowns a little bit more as it seems like he really wasn't minding just how it was something the a polite person would say.

It was an innocent question. One that she knew that he wouldn't have know how it would effect her and she wasn't going to let him see it.

"You left your nestling behind?" She frowns and moves a wing to brush his cheek. Even if Kiki was adopted, he was still Mu's 'son'. "Earth? I never heard of Ear-th."

The frown hardly left her face and without thinking, she moves to brush a wing tip gently along his cheek.

"Even so... You were his father first. Every son will miss their father when they are missing. Even Moreno should they parish."

A small idle nod was all she could do to his response to her inquiry. "I... I never heard of Earth. But I guess it makes sense in this strange place..." She goes to sigh out. "I am from Tellius."

She notices him stepping away from her attempt to comfort and goes to fold her wings as carefully as she can behind herself so that there will be no more accidental touches.

But his words, she catches on the hidden meaning of them and despite her burning curiosity, she won't pry. At least not yet. "As a younger sibling myself, I know that might make it worse." She teases a little. "... Would the path of training... Would it be at least of his own choice? If he didn't want to, could he not go down that path?"

At his question, she goes to shrug her shoulders. "I.. Really can't tell you, my lord Mu. I wasn't allowed outside my home until an event. But even then, I wasn't allowed to leave until I arrived here."

She blinks as it seems like she hit either a sore spot to him or somehow attacked his pride. "My apologies, my lord Mu."

"I shall pray and hope for the same thing. If only so he can choose his own path in life. But I also understand how important for him to follow your path is."

She goes to let out a sigh and nods her head. "Yes, that is correct. But there are more clans who also have animal parts, not just wings. But I never really met them myself."
