I've been workin' like a dog [Open catchall for September!]

Who: Caren and anyone!
When: All around Septeril
Where: Knit Wit, the Aefenglom streets, various Quest locations, Haven
What: Over all Septeril catchall! Including full moon complications.
Warnings: Possible clawing, biting, and lingerie mentions



GENERAL

I: She pounce

[She wasn't sure when it all started. She had just been...well, she had been going to work, or to the market, or to a number of other places that she might go to town in. But seeing someone with their back turned...and not seeing her...

Something pricked internally, and she started creeping forward. Before she knew it, she was right up on them-and if she was so lucky, she only stopped at running into a back-or being caught before it happened. Because otherwise, she might use her claws by accident.

Oops.]


II: Stumble mumble

[It didn't always happen. Sometimes she also had troubles while she was trying to be perfectly normal and then...

she'd stumble.

Sometimes it was little more then that, a rubbed knee, and an annoyance. But other times, she spilled spectacularly onto the ground, and had to pause with a low key growl under her breath. This was just...annoying and she had things!!! She could be doing!!!]


III: Mend and create

[Sometimes she'd be so lucky that she'd make it to work with her work and with her assignments of customization and mending various clothing orders, if not outright making them. Or she'd be so lucky to have some free time and be working on a very special order of an animal ear hoodie, for one person or another.

The bell would go off though, and she'd look up with a slow owlish blink, before realizing the others were in the back or on break. Ah well.]


Welcome to Knit Wit. How may we be of service today?


EVENT

Market explorations

[So this was what the goblin market was all about. She had heard about it, had been interested in seeing it in action and...well...it made her think of how this was what a gray or black market was supposed to be. She might have been more interested if she heard about the magic shot that made sure she wouldn't need a bond but-no. She was happy with Ignis as her bondmate, even if sometimes she didn't understand why he liked her.

She eventually made a quiet noise, and wrinkled her nose.]


I thought it would be more of a big deal.

[She's disappointed.]

Scrub a scrub

[It seemed that someone realized that this was a home of a Coven bonded person. Because...well, they had clearly left their mark on her house.

COVEN TRASH, was written in big letters, and inside...

Looking inside, it was trashed. Things were thrown into disarray-food was wasted, clothing had been ripped up, and ink was splattered over the floor.

But thankfully her garden was safe, small and humble as it was.

So she could be seen working on her compost pile, or going out and trying to wash the words off of her mansion. It was...well. She really didn't get where this came from.]


They could have at least written something a little more creative....

[Or why not with the glitter mail? She would have been fine with glitter mail!]

QUESTS

Victorious Secret

[She came in, bemused at the sight of everything that was going on. She was waiting for her turn but...her eye caught on what one of the other people was doing. Or what they were squirming in. Caren couldn't help it; she made a quiet amused noise.]

Do you need a hand or two?

Tomes Aplenty

[It was quiet. Something that she could settle into and enjoy purely because it was with books and...while it wasn't gardening (she had also been trying to get ready to winterize her garden) it was peaceful.

Still, there was a problem, and its name was her height. She couldn't find the ladder. She briefly spread her wings...and decided against it. And then she hopped, trying to put it back in its proper place.

Little help?]


Salon And Goodbye

[So they were planning on doing something with her hair and it was...Fine. But while they had a good seat (one that allowed for her wings and still had back support! But Caren was...nervous. The barber was talking about how her hair was such a beautiful pure white and maybe they should try to make to ombre! Maybe they could make it rainbow! Or glittery!]

Are those...actual hair colors...?

Flowers for Charlotte

[It was a simple harvest, and it meant that she could go out of the city for awhile. There was nothing wrong with the city itself but-it was nice to just be outside of it. It felt like she could breathe.

But she heard something, and she stopped, frowning, her tail lashing back and forth as she listened. That...it was faint but...]


Is that...laughter...?


Out of the City (Medical)

[Caren had been in the midst of work with the infected camp, and working with various medicines. She was practical, and she had a lot of practical medication. But...with a soft sound, she realized she was out of a few things.]

Excuse me,

[She hailed your character down.]

Could you please gather more bandages...?

Out of the City (Fighting)

[She didn't have a sword of her own, but it seems they were able to give her one. It was bemusing, and she twirled the blade slowly.]

I didn't realize that it was a carrier and not completely infectious...I suppose the dream of the destroyed city threw me completely off.

[For various reasons.]

FULL MOON

During:

[It wasn't the same as when they first grew in, but her wings, her tail...they were causing so much pain. She needed to get to the Coven, or to Ignis.

Really, she should have called him. That would have been smart but...she wasn't thinking clearly. It was difficult to, when her head was full of pain, and moving made it worse. But she kept on trying to move along.

Sometimes, that meant she would smack into someone and fall right over.]


You should...really...watch where you're going.

[Caren you might be the one at fault here.]

After:

[She was moving throughout the town, mostly just trying to pick up some things for projects or for market...and she found herself having problems. It could have been with her now large wings (which she had been wrapping around herself, like a cloak from time to time), but it was mostly due to her tail nearly being as long as she was tall.

Which meant a lot of smacking people by accident, getting it stepped on, and a lot of having it closed on in doors. And there was a lot of yipping, jumping, and outright loud gasping and irritation.

In short: ow.]

Caren! [ Ursula called out, tightening the snare further, putting as much of her energy into it as she could. ]

Hit yourself!

[ Wait, what? ]
beariot: (the footsteps that summon winter)

[ And the Mimic, just as Ursula predicted, did the same, smashing itself in the chest and knocking it off balance. Ursula gave a hard yank on the snare, hoping to send the thing off its feet entirely. ]
beariot: (embrace the void even closer still)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-09-26 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ursula used a second spell to bind the snare to the ground below, transforming it into a gnarled root that kept the beast pinned, to free her wand for another spell, this time casting an enhancement on Caren that would protect her just in case the thing lashed back at her. Its arms were still free, after all. ]
beariot: (heard you on my wireless back in '52)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-01 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
You need to knock it out! [ Ursula called to Caren. ] A blow to the neck or head!
beariot: (i strike the empire back)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-03 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's taking all I've got just to keep it pinned down! [ Ursula called back, and unfortunately that was exactly the case. She was using three different active spells at once, something that used to not drain her at all, but with the timing of their excursion, she just didn't have the mana reserves to go that extra mile. ]
beariot: (would you rather be stupid just like me)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-04 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah she... really wishes she hadn't seen that. She'd just been hoping Caren could knock it out, not... well...

The point was, she felt considerably less strain on the snare. After a moment, she'd feel safe enough to release it... ]
beariot: (just the ability to reason that wears so)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-04 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ursula let out a long sigh, averting her eyes from the chaotic scene on the ground and focusing instead on another spell, summoning up a floating globe of glistening water, drawing in from the dew around them, and bringing it towards Caren. ]

Clean your hands with this... we definitely shouldn't deliver a bloody flower for this occasion. Do you have any wounds?

[ Her tone is gentle, genuinely concerned. Caren had put herself in a dangerous spot there... ]
beariot: (the heart of melting magic)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-06 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I know a good tailor... [ a weak smile. ] I'm just glad you're alright.
beariot: (i'm so in love with ya honey)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-07 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
I owe you one, then. [ A lot, probably. The water slowly dissipated back into heavy droplets, scattering across the ground below. Ursula turned her attention back to the glowing flowers, letting out a small breath. ]

Let's get this done and get out of here, before another one approaches.
beariot: (opportunities the ones that never knock)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-07 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
W-wait you're taking it back?! [ Whatever cute thing Caren had been about to do was immediately forgotten. ]

I am... definitely not qualified to assess something like that.
beariot: (would you rather be stupid just like me)

[personal profile] beariot 2019-10-08 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
I also definitely don't know anyone who could... [ Just what kind of witch did Caren think she was?! ]
