When: Throughout July
Where: The Sorcerous Quill, Small Stall, Sew and Tell, The Street
What: Just typical Ryoji Shenanigans
Warnings: None
A. Snow Zombies!
[Actually, no. It isn't a snow zombie. But it's probably understandable that you would think so. You are probably on your merry way elsewhere or maybe you're helping clean the streets of snow. But sooner or later, you would feel a hand come out of nowhere weakly take hold of your leg. The owner of that hand is none other than Ryoji Mochizuki, buried deep in the snow. He looks at you, his skin pale and the white of the snow clinging to his black hair doesn't make things any better.
He is shivering, struggling to say something.]
S-S-S-S-So...rry...
[He may be feeling like death but that is no excuse for not apologizing to someone.]
B. The Perfect Model
Oh! I think they'd be perfect for it.
[And someone is pointing right at you. The harpy boy goes over to you before he gently takes you by the shoulders, leading you back towards the lady that he had been talking to earlier. He gives you a bright smile and a supportive thumbs up. Just what has this boy dragged you into? Probably not something good.]
The perfect model is right here! They have the face for it, you know?
[He may or may not have just pulled you into a quick modelling gig. Nothing too serious but...whoops?]
C. Business is Business
[Ryoji sits at a stall that he agreed to run because he has "a pretty face". He's honored to take the reigns on this but he doesn't understand how a pretty face relates to selling...weaponry. But Ryoji is going to certainly try his best to use his money maker to sell these things. He puts a smile on his face as he holds up a simple axe.]
We have axes here! Really nice axes!
[Well, he thinks they are nice axes. He isn't too sure about that. But they have some unique carvings on them so that must mean they are good quality, right? Right.]
D. Scribe Work
[Ryoji believes he's good at writing which is why he accepted this request. Also, he is borderline broke. That also contributed to it. But it seems that his mind his elsewhere since everything he writes down always seems to lead off into something not relating to the spell work that they wanted him to write down. He lays his head down on the desk provided to him and lets out a small groan.]
It's hopeless...

A
Holy shit kid, did you get buried by the snow. Hold on.
[He'll just yank him out of there with all the strength he can muster.]
no subject
T-Th-Thanks.
[Ryoji would do his best to remove his hand from Hank's, the smile on his face just as frozen as he is.]
I-I-I lost really badly t-t-t-to a bet with some k-kids.
no subject
Who the fuck buries people in the snow? Wait, nevermind, don't answer that.
[He'll let him go, but he's going to gently push him towards a direction that is his home, taking off his own coat all the while to place it on him.]
You're coming someplace warm with blankets. No, you can't say no. Hypothermia is a serious condition, kid.
no subject
The young harpy blinks in surprise when the older man's jacket is placed on his shoulders. He feels guilty. He honestly should be letting the man hold onto it himself so he doesn't catch a cold on Ryoji's behalf. But it is really warm...]
I-I suppose it is...
[He can't exactly say no thank you to all of this, can he? He said so himself that he isn't allowed to refuse!]
I just r-really don't w-want to be a bother to you. You don't h-have to go out of y-y-your way for me.
no subject
[Yeah good luck arguing with a cop about refusing hospitality, nyx avatar.]
You're going to be way more of a bother if you keep arguing that this is going to be a problem. [He briefly clicks his thumb against the rest of his hand and a small flame rises from it before he shakes his hand again to stop it.] See? I can make a fire.
[That has nothing to do with a dead son that died when their car slipped on ice, don't be silly. Althought truth be told, Hank would do the same thing, just be a lot less insistent about it.]
no subject
Ryoji watches in mild surprise at the flame that Hank conjures for the quick second. It really made him crave the warmth that he would hopefully be getting soon. If the older man is so insistent about it then Ryoji will not argue over it anymore. He really could have been in serious danger if he hadn't come by. It's safe to say that he owes this man his life.]
T-Thank you.
[He pulls the coat closer to himself.]
I'll r-repay you s-soon enough. I p-promise.
no subject
No need.
[By the time they are at the house, Hankk is admittedly freezing but the place is quickly warmed up by of the space with a few logs tossed into the iron furnace. A large Saint Bernard, who briefly looks up when he sees the both of them, wags his tail and begins to follow them around. It doesn't take too long for Hank to come back with all the covers he has on his bed and puts them on top of the kid.]
I'll get you something warm to drink.
[Kid doesn't have enough warmth just yet which is probably why he says;]
Sumo. Couch.
[The large dog sits next to him, placing his head on Ryoji's knees. Please pet the dog.]
no subject
Thank you again...
[At least his stuttering has gone away. He's sure he was a bit hard to understand. He could honestly not even understand himself thanks to the deafening sound of his teeth chattering. He looks down at the dog he officially knows as Sumo and smiles. He's even cuter up close! He gently pets the dog on the head.]
Your dog is really cute! And very well behaved too.
[He can appreciate some Good Boys(tm).]
no subject
[Much like his master, really. He comes back with a cup of hot coffee.]
Uh sorry. I don't have much hot chocolate here. Someone's trying to watch out for my diet. If it's too bitter, I'll get you some hot water with a bit of sugar.
[He then goes to get some towels to dry up some of the melting ice.]
no subject
[He is almost tempted to try that mostly because he has never heard of that before. He looks down at the coffee, appreciating the warmth and the smell before he takes a sip. He relaxed at the relieving feeling of the warmth spreading through his body. It's too good.
He eventually transfers the cup over to one other hand so he can pet Sumo with a free one. No matter what Hank says, Ryoji will always believe this big lug is well behaved good boy.]
This tastes really good. Are you some kind of coffee guru?
no subject
[Sumo appreciates the pettings very much.]
Heh. No. The real guru's Connor. I can barely mix water and coffee beans, but watch someone else do it enough and you sort of get the idea.
B
Paris recognizes Ryoji, so while he's a little puzzled by what he's talking about he allows himself to be steered. This is something he regrets immensely when he sees what he was being steered towards. The look he gives Ryoji is wide eyed and mildly terrified.]
I-I.. um...?????
no subject
[He gives Paris a small pat on the back with an encouraging smile. The person in front of the both of them squints at Paris, observing him intensely like he's some kind of rare jewel. While he does that, Ryoji does his best to try and get Paris to play along.]
Don't worry. I think you'll do great. All they need is someone really attractive to look good in their equally attractive clothes. You're perfect for that kind of thing, right?
no subject
Paris doesn't want to disappoint, he never does and that's why he can be talked into almost anything, but--] I- I'm not r-really that pretty... [He doesn't want to ruin anything!!]
no subject
[A dramatic pause...]
You're out of this world levels of beautiful and you ought to know it!
[Ryoji places arms around his neck as a vaguely flirtatious gesture, giving him a smile and a wink.]
You're too humble, you know that? There's nothing wrong with owning up to your beauty. It only makes you more attractive.
no subject
A-ah, but I'm not--
[Whoops, looks like they've decided he's perfect for the job and suddenly there's an outfit being thrust into his arms and he's being ushered to a dressing room.]
no subject
[He gives Paris a thumbs up from the sidelines like a supportive soccer mom cheering on the child who probably didn't want to be there in the first place. While he expected to mostly take on the role of support, he is only mildly surprised when some clothes are shoved into his hands as well before he is ushered off into a dressing room.
Once he is dressed in the outfit he is given, something that looks a bit too trendy to look natural on Ryoji, he waits for Paris to reveal what they put him in. Hopefully he works what he's given a lot better than Ryoji...]
no subject
He looks over at Ryoji, at least a little pleased to see it's not just him...]
no subject
[Ryoji approaches him with a bright smile before he circles around him, taking in the outfit that he is in. He eventually comes to a stop before he pets his arm around his shoulder.]
I knew you'd look good. You can always count on Ryoji Mochizuki for this kind of thing. So how do you feel on a scale of good looking to downright handsome?
no subject
no subject
It'll be fiiiine. All we have to do is pose and we can get out of those clothes.
[He sends a quick wink Paris's way.]
And how good are you at posing, by the way?
no subject
[What does that even mean. Does it mean hiding because he wants to do that and he would be good at that.]
B
[Monika has but two quesations: What has she gotten herself mixed up in now?
And can she not be?]
You really shouldn't be doing that without at least asking!
no subject
[Probably not. It seems he doesn't really understand that fashion emergency doesn't exactly mean it's on the same level as a regular emergency. ...Or does he?]
No need to get nervous or anything. I'm sure you'll be the perfect model! You have a really cute face, after all.
no subject
Sigh.]
That's nice of you say, but isn't there more to modelling than just that?
no subject
[He hasn't had a lot of time to do research on these kinds of things. Especially back in his own world.]
It's just posing for a couple of pictures. It...seems simple enough?
no subject
That makes two of us, you know.
It can't really be that easy. If it was, wouldn't there be more models in the world?
B.
amadeus, though briefly surprised, soaks up the compliment like a sponge – his expression lighting right up at the prospect. ] Oh! You think so? [ he even lets him drag him around, and all of his sharp, angled features seem to gleam. ] You know, I've been told so before, but I never really took it to heart.
no subject
[Well, Ryoji likes giving compliments. The Caster Servant is about to get tons of it.]
I spotted you immediately and just knew a camera would love you! I'm sure the person in charge will be able to find the perfect outfit for you to model. If you wouldn't mind that, of course?
[He gives Amadeus a small smile, hoping to get a yes.]
no subject
Ahahaha, you have a masterful way of procuring favors, my good sir. [ he leans in to give the boy a quick nudge to the shoulder. ] Who could say no to that? As it happens, I have time!
