Who: Sora + You!
When: The month of Aguril
Where: Where these threads happen!
What: A catch-all for the month of August including closed threads inside. As well as near the end of the month Sora runs into some bad characters on the street and happens to get kidnapped by some desperate Dorchacht smugglers and possibly sold to the underground markets still trying to deal in the shady “monster part” trading business there. More info can be found here.
Warnings: kidnapping, violence, blood, tba
[A: first, we're goin' to set some bait]
[It’s a normal day in Aguril and the city is bustling with life as usual. One puca boy is making his way up the road with a paper bag of various fruits and vegetables in his arms and is heading back home to get them into the icebox. The summer heat doesn’t do much to Sora even with his body now covered in patches of soft brunette-coloured fur. But the heat might do something to his newly purchased greens and treats, so he wants to get them home soon. A rabbit has to have snacks!
He’s not quite paying attention to his surroundings enough and doesn’t notice a pair of cloaked figures just down the road amongst a grove of trees. There is a small clatter of wooden wheels against the pavement and Sora stops for a moment to look up at the cloudy sky.
That is when his vision suddenly blurs, and pain erupts against the side of his head as he's clubbed with a wooden bat. It happens so quickly that Sora falls like a sack of bricks. His shopping scatters on the ground and the two cloaked figures throw a black sheet over him and scoop him up. They start quickly retreating to the back alley where a wooden cart is waiting...
Perhaps you're nearby and happen to hear the clatter or odd noise. Maybe you see the whole thing happen. They are clearly amateurs. But they are amateurs who are now stuffing Sora's knocked out body into a wooden cage on a cart. Perhaps you attempt to rescue him but at this point of time they will get away. But that doesn’t mean you can’t rough them up a bit if you so choose!]
[B: inside a nasty trap and wait]
[People who are bonded to Sora will notice the sudden dullness in their bond with him first. There will be a strange static-like feeling that only gets worse when they try to reach across the bond to him. It is like he's inside the city still but there's something that is muting his monster signature and his location on the magical bond. If anyone tries to contact Sora through alternative means such as their devices no responses will be given. Which is strange because he always answers his messages!
Although there might be some ways to try to find out where Sora is. Witches who know how to tap onto Divination might be able to scry where he might be heading. Or better yet maybe a witch can start some sort of magical conversation with his sleepy mind.
Somewhere along the way Sora wakes weakly in his wooden caged cart and finds himself travelling ... somewhere?? He can feel the temperature drop several degrees so it feels like they might be leaving the city. Because of that Sora tries his hardest to gather enough strength (did they drug him or something??) to create a small little red butterfly with his Illusion magic. Who knows... Maybe it'll be able to communicate with someone. It should be able to write messages or even make a noise or two but it won’t last long!]
[C: when he comes a-sniffing we will]
[If you managed to follow the smugglers into the wilde and towards their den, you’ll find that they haven't left the place unguarded. The den is nestled up in a rocky alcove that is covered in cold heaps of snow and old broken tree branches.
Just outside of the den is a large feral looking hyena creature that isn't happy to see you. Long sharp fangs protrude from its lips and four spider-like eyes stare at you with clear angry intent. It growls at a higher octave than expected and takes a step forward.
You’ll have to deal with this first if you want to get into the den.]
[D: snap the trap and close the gate]
[Inside the cavernous den itself is the dank smell of odd leathers and rotting spices that hang in the air like it is all growing much too old. There are torches lining the cavern walls but it leaves the den dim and hard to navigate. Walking the narrow path that have been dug in is uneven on the feet.
Depending on how one explores the den it all comes to one central spot at the back. There are collections of jars, boxes and crates filled with who knows what. Some jars seem to shimmer with old dragon scales, rusted old weapons line the walls and various liquid and powdery substances sit murky in vials scattered about. ]
"Just get it over with already, bastard!"
[A voice rings out angrily from the other room. If followed, Sora can be found held down against his will across a large wooden table. He struggles weakly but the man holding him has a painful grip and a large meat cleaver held high in his other.]
S-Stop!
[Sora tries to struggle. But he can’t move well. They must have put something in his system to make him feel weak. The other man across the room reaches out and yanks Sora's long rabbit ears with one hand and slaps them against the wooden table with Sora wincing painfully.]
"Get the ears and then take off a foot. Have you heard how much a lucky’s rabbit foot can go for? Hurry up, the shipment has to go out tonight!"
[A rescue would be good! Anytime now!]
[E: wildcard]
[got something else? throw it down here!]

no subject
[Edelgard seems surprised, but also tosses another piece of jerky over to the fox.]
How?
no subject
[Sora scratches at his cheek with one finger.]
One of those worlds was a dark and gloomy one. I was always a vampire when I was there. But not like... a dead one. I didn't feel dead cold like you? But I had the fangs and everything else.
no subject
[Heh. She made a dead person joke.]
That's intriguing. Though, how do you travel other worlds? You're the first I've heard about that's capable of such a feat. At least, willingly, as we're all stolen.
no subject
[And Sora snorts for it. He taps his nose knowingly.]
This is definitely the first world I've been to that I can't leave on my own so I'm just as stolen as you are right now. [nod nod] But before this I used a gummi ship to get around from world to world.
no subject
[WTF Mate.]
no subject
[How can he explain it. Oh!]
You know the ships in the harbour? Imagine those but in the sky and in space.
[Nod nod.]
no subject
ARe you from the same place as Soundwave?
no subject
[Is he really a robot, though? That's still up for debate.]
It was a machine that I rode from planet to planet. That makes a lot more sense, right?
no subject
[She doesn't know what a robot is, so she'll go along with that for now.]
I take it you don't have access here. Which is...a pity.
no subject
no subject
[She looks sadly at the fox.]
There can be no other purpose for why we were brought here.
no subject
[Sora's always wondered about that, himself. Most worlds need help, most worlds... need something.]
What do you think we should do to help this world? I know we've been making a difference when it comes to things like Dorchacht and the lives of the people that live here. But sometimes I wonder if there's a bigger picture too. We've been here for a while.
no subject
I'm not well suited for a lot of that, so I've simply been trying to help out on the homefront, though.
no subject
[Sora nods as he reaches out to pluck another section of flowers for the task at hand. The floral smell is a bit strong.]
I've been trying to do as many of these quests as I can. Help out where I can around the city too. And I worked a lot on the outpost everyone made out in the wilde too.
no subject
[A real pain, honestly.]
I believe easing the burdens these poor people bear is definitely worth doing.
no subject
Yeah, I think it's important we do our best.
[Then maybe they can return home when it's all said and done. When they've made the change that this world needs to stand on its own.]
It must be hard to have to cover up from the sun just for work like this. You're really great for it doing it. If you ever need more of a hand, I'd be happy to help!
no subject
[Like, wear these ridiculous outfits! Woo!]
And I certainly won't say no. I...mostly run a business in my spare time, so I could use runners during the daylight hours.
no subject
Sure! What kind of stuff would I need to run? Just deliveries? I'm fast.
no subject
[She wouldn't really think twice about asking him to drop some alcohol off at a bar though.]
no subject
Great, I'd be happy to help out with stuff like that. Puca are the fastest monsters in town, did you know?
[Because he's a rabbit! Get it!]
I'll start as soon as you need me if you want!
[And he's kind of happy to be getting a job after months of only working on side quests.]
no subject
[And that's awesome. She would love that.]
I'll let you know when I need you. It's infrequent work, but something to do all the same. Thank you, Sora.
no subject
[It gives him time to work at the orphanage too. So Sora is more than flexible to work for her. It's a done deal!]
Should we finish up here and head back?
no subject
[And, away they go!]
