[open] your ambiguous true face is hidden in the magic hour
Who: Momo and you!
When: Throughout Aguril
Where: Around and about...
What: Catch-all feat. Lunasa + Antler Fruit, Forget-Me-Nots, and Darkness and Frost quest things (plus some closed prompts)
Warnings: Potentially raunchy discussion in Lunasa and Antler Fruit prompts, and Violence (tm) in the Darkness and Frost prompt.
[a: don't do the fashion crime if you can't do the fashion time (lunasa)]
[While Momo isn't exactly dressed in a not-extra way when he's out and about during Lunasa, what with the pinstriped dress shirt and useless fashionable suspender aesthetic because why not, the fact that he has modelling as a more permanent side job here now means he has to get involved in Lunasa things one way or another. And as far as he's concerned, it's better to have a little fun with it than just get set up with a bunch of local models. He figures Yuki will only have the patience for a little of it, though the single red string trailing off Momo's finger (coincidentally, it's chosen to tie itself around the finger he wears his repeat ring on, the left middle) somewhere off into the abyss of the city may be a dead giveaway to some people that Momo's oft-mentioned partner isn't directly present.
As such, anyone who comes near the right modelling locations may find themselves being propositioned by more than just the locals, as Momo taps shoulders (or just takes arms in cases he knows someone well enough or they look relaxed enough that he can assume he won't get hit for it) and starts trying to guide people towards the hell of designers and glitter and flashiness.]
Have you tried out a little modelling yet? You'll get some cute clothes out of it, I promise! [Or just. Good useful clothes for if anything fancy happens. He may have to change his tactics with some people...]

[b: pursuing the elusive hornyfruit (antler fruit, 18+ characters only)]
[Considering Momo tends to favour trap tactics initially when fighting things out in the Wilde anyway, something that involves having to keep an animal still long enough to pluck fruit off its horns seems pretty ideal. And the pay is good, and the jury is very much out on how long Momo is going to hold out before he makes one or more horny puns. Maybe they should be offering extra hazard pay for that part.
As it stands, though, it's still out in the Wilde and that still means Momo is going to have to pick up interested parties to help him out in the collection process. Out of habit he'll favour adults, in large part because of the nature of the quest, but other than that he's not particularly picky as long as his company has some idea what they're doing. Most of his supplies are concealed under his very covering clothing since he'll be drawing on magic much more here, but on occasion he can be seen tapping at things under his clothes as if to make sure they're still in the right place.
On final approach, behind some trees from which clear sounds of the deers' presence can be heard and one or two of them even start to be visible in a clearing nearby, Momo finally cracks while peering out to check how many there are around.]
Wow, I guess they really are as horny as advertised. [In reference to the giant "branches" of antlers hanging with fruit that are visible even from here, but he's still grinning like he knows he just made the worst joke in the world and isn't at all sorry.]
--
[c: animal crossing cheat codes (forget-me-nots)]
[Another particularly handy aspect of having focused primarily on distraction and protection magic in his early months is that thorny plants aren't a huge concern. He covers up habitually when travelling to the Wilde anyway, because Cwyld is like that, but some of the plants here are remarkably good at getting through gloves and he doesn't really want to learn if these prickly bushes are like that the hard way. So he's gathering the seeds with a layer of pink around his hands - a shield to prevent giving himself dead arm for the duration - and a nostalgic sort of smile on his face, courtesy of the fumes. He's dropping his own seeds into vials similar to those used to collect plant samples with a bit of soil, and while he knows time is of the essence, he'll spare some for anyone else who comes collecting.]
Are you here for seeds? If you've got something to transport them in I can get you some real quick, might as well carry as many as we can.
[He was told about the time limit when he came out, but at worst he can leg it back to the city after he helps.]

[d: tattoo responsibly (darkness and frost)]
[With the amount of time Momo is spending in the Wilde and on the outskirts of the city this month, of course he hears the warnings about the screaming and the creatures. And initially he classes it as a general danger, something to be wary of but that he's not necessarily more at risk of than anyone else.
Unfortunately, he is as yet blissfully unaware of the creatures' targets of choice, and he happened to get an enchanted tattoo not at all long after he arrived in this world. And spends a solid chunk of time in Dorchacht for the open spaces.
Initially, it's just that the screams seem to come remarkably close a few of the times he's near the borders of the Outer City or in the Wilde - but in the case of the former he's generally in the company of the Wilders and others helping out beyond the walls. It's not until he ends up having to chase a Shade a little further out from locals that can muddle his scent than is entirely ideal that one of them bursts from the trees, giving off its eerie screaming. On the one hand, it spooks the smaller Shade enough for it to hightail it back into the deeper Wilde for the moment. On the other, it's much bigger and more vicious than what he was just dealing with, and Momo barely gets a shield up before it crashes into the pink dome, trying to stomp through it and screaming all the louder. It's rare to see Momo look legitimately afraid of something, but he definitely does for the first few moments of holding it out of the shield.]
What the fuck...? [The cuss slips out in his absence of care for pretense in this kind of situation, and while the flayed creature's screaming is probably attraction enough for help, he does call out to anyone who might've seen fit to follow him.] Stay back! And if you have any idea what this thing is I could use the update!
[Unless whoever came to assist fills the target criteria for the nuckelavee as well, it's likely to remain very obviously focused on trying to get through that barrier to stomp and/or chew on Momo. Otherwise...well, it's going to turn its attention to the target that doesn't have a shield in front of it.]

reviseleviathan for other plans! Momo will also be doing his usual Out of the City duties besides the ones that involve getting attacked by weird revenge horses. Also feel free to tweak prompts slightly as needed to suit any plans we might've had for certain quests!]]

[He doesn't really want to be chasing down escaped seed vials when they're already on a bit of a time limitation. Since there doesn't seem to be much going on at the moment, though, Momo resumes his work with a bit of small talk.]
Do you come out here often? I'm probably out more than I should be since it's easier to get out of the city here. [Typically he works with Wilders or other outside wall groups, so he doesn't get pulled up despite not bringing his Bonded along very often.]
no subject
[ His general inexperience with Shades and the like is a little embarrassing, but he's out here, trying his best. He doesn't turn to look at Momo though, because if he's going to be here then he'd better be helpful. He's got kind of a complex with trying to be an asset rather than a liability, after all. ]
I mean, I've been out of the city a handful of times, but that's about it. I guess I just...never really felt confident enough to face whatever's out here.
no subject
Really? Don't you fight evil and stuff back home, though? I know sometimes you just have to push through not being confident to go for your goals and all, but this feels like something you'd be more equipped to handle than I was when I arrived.
[Momo is not entirely honest about his level of fightiness, but even then his fighting back home tended to be limited to brawls and he couldn't just engage a Shade with his fists. He'd had to unrust and expand on his vague knifeplay lessons from a couple of acting roles.] If you want to talk about it, Momo-chan can lend an ear. I've been missing advising my juniors, honestly.
[He gives a welcoming grin. He can understand the lacking confidence more than he pretty much ever admits without being literally forced to, so this is one topic he does feel pretty qualified to advise on.]
no subject
[ He gestures to the lance strapped to his back. Yes, he has one now. ]
I mean, I've gotten a lot better at using it thanks to some of my other friends, don't get me wrong! I just... I don't know, I kinda miss being able to shoot sometimes.
[ And while he's doing archery with Bernie, he's not good enough at that yet to really do it in the Wilde or anything. And if it isn't obvious enough yet, Lance tends to get too into his head sometimes. Especially when it comes to feeling like a liability more than an asset. ]
no subject
Yeah, anything here must be pretty primitive compared to what you would've been used to...and fighting from a distance is pretty different to doing it close up. I've always been more close-quarters, so I just kinda had to pick up an actual weapon, and I'd had basic intros to a couple of weapons I've used as props.
[Pretty much enough that he wouldn't hurt himself and that he'd look sufficiently like he knows what he's doing in a movie back in his world, but he'd built on it just about since he arrived. Put that on top of his general speed at picking up anything physical and now he's more comfortable with knives than the pure brute force bat he was using when he arrived.] Still, there was a time you were a beginner at sharpshooting too, right? It's okay to miss doing stuff you were good at, I'm sure a lot of us here do, but I think you'll be able to become really skilled at something new as well. And people here come from all sorts of places, some where they maybe never knew a weapon at all, or how to defend themselves. Even things like having experience in big battles, being part of a combat strategy - those would all be assets you have that plenty of people don't. I didn't before coming here, but I thought it would be better for me to learn by doing. Maybe it would be good for you too.
no subject
[ He falls quiet when Momo goes on his spheel, though. It's true, Lance didn't know how to sharpshoot until he joined Voltron. He didn't know anything about war or fighting up until then; he was forced to adapt due to his circumstances.
Being here, with that in mind, is not much different. Momo has a good point. ]
You're right. I mean, sharpshooting was brand new to me when I joined Voltron, and I made it work. [ He's a little quieter when he says it. ] And I do have more combat experience than some other people here. Maybe...it's time I use it to my advantage, huh?
[ He's such an idiot, he thinks to himself. This is all stuff he should have realized sooner. ]
no subject
I think that'd be great for you. You've got the skills and potential to be a big help with this sort of thing! And the best way to hone it is to use it. It gives you less free time to be dwelling on that kind of thinking that undermines yourself, too.
[Momo winks a little knowingly, though he'll swear up and down that any knowing is because of experience with his juniors and nothing else.]
