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.]

[There's something similar and shared between them that L recognized the first time they spoke. At the heart of it might be this precise trait, the drive that in his case had pushed him to try to be better than a human and stifled what made him human in the first place.]

And if the door actually makes a much better stretching rack?
hearthebell: (See these people they lie)

[personal profile] hearthebell 2019-11-03 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... we are.

[It was fully intentional. L was saying, or trying to say, that while doors exist to create an access point, he might exist to cause pain and inconvenience, albeit to those who fully deserve it. But sometimes what he's trying to say gets lost, muddled somehow, shaped perfectly in a powerful mind but breaking down when exposed to light and air.]

No one is like anyone else. We're all the same, that way.

[A joke; also, a deflection.]
hearthebell: (Go ask Alice when she's 10 feet tall)

[personal profile] hearthebell 2019-11-06 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was... an abrupt change of tone. L blinks (a rare expression for him), quickly shaking his shaggy head that someone has taken the time to style.]

I like our conversations. They never waste my time, but... I know you're busy.
hearthebell: (Looking for a human to reciprocate)

[personal profile] hearthebell 2019-11-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[The idea of a conversation not eventually leading to some fiery disagreement is still somewhat new to L... and the former was never actually a dealbreaker to begin with. He blinks in puzzlement before nodding hesitant acceptance of what she's suggesting.]

I'm not frustrated, but I apologize if you are. I'll wait here.

[Though it feels awkward, now. He's done something wrong, and he'll have to ask the SQUIP to explain it more in detail, later.]
hearthebell: (Shining like gunmetal cold and unsure)

[personal profile] hearthebell 2019-11-20 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[L has some time to think about it while Caren is off retrieving items. He seems pleased with how much of it was ultimately available, though vaguely disquieted, and it's not as a result of the boots or hat being items he'll have to go elsewhere for.]

Thank you.

[He takes the list, folding it twice carefully and slipping it into his breast pocket.]

...and. I think that I understand. I'll see you again later? Sometime soon?
hearthebell: will credit if found (You know the preacher liked the cold)

/wrap!

[personal profile] hearthebell 2019-11-22 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[His thin arms slip into the offered garment before he lifts the other parcels in his arms, holding them close to his chest, making an effort not to hunch.]

OK. Thank you.

[He won't call, at least not soon. Other things will occupy his time and attention to an overwhelming degree... but it means something, truly, that the offer remains open to him.]
