Who: Azura + open
When: latter half of Septeril
Where: all over Aefenglom
What: Some part-time job stuff, some bond-searching stuff
Warnings: mild nsfw on the Victorious Secret prompt, otherwise none

I. part-time jobs
[ With the everything that's been going on, lately, Azura decides to keep herself busy. Less time to think and worry. So once she gets back Dorchacht, she almost immediately signs up for two part-time jobs, enough to fill her schedule without being an overload. ]

a - Snapped String
[ Well, it's...not a singing job, but it's music, so she'll take it. She doesn't actually know how to play any instruments, though, so it's a learning experience. She's taken to tuning lutes in particular, being the sort of instruments she's heard the most, gently, vocalizing the notes as they come and noting any inconsistencies. Out of any of the places Azura spends her day, she seems to be the happiest here, and you may catch her singing a song or two. ]

b - Victorious Secret
[ Here's another thing Azura is good at: keeping a straight face when things get completely and utterly ridiculous. Which helps, because she's there during its busiest hours and in various forms of what this shop considers "dress." If anyone approaches her, she speaks up: ]


If you want to buy something, you'll have to check with the clerk. I'm just a model. Though, I think this one is on the affordable end...? It's a three-in-one potion.

[ She tugs on the end of her nightgown, which is just barely that...all while looking like this is normal and she's discussing tuning lutes and not racy clothes. ]

II - around the Haven
[ She's had a feeling she knows why she's been feeling sick lately. The restlessness, the snappishness, the headaches, dear gods, she's never had headaches this bad or this frequent before. Eventually, it gets too much for even Azura to withstand, so on the last day of Septeril, she takes a short trip to the hospital. But, well, she gets a confirmation it's not sickness exactly, and there's not much they can do for her. So Azura heads home, taking the long way back to the Haven.

So, bonds. She doesn't have one, doesn't know where to get one, and has no one to ask about getting one. What is she supposed to do? Talk to people, make some friends, she guesses, but that's pulling her out of every comfort zone she has. She's largely kept to herself the whole time she's been here, so of course she needs to start doing something now, as soon as possible, before she accidentally blows something--or someone, or herself--up. But thinking about that makes her nervous, enough to make her start walking faster, and then her head starts to ache again, and when she closes her eyes to block out the light, there's a cracking sound.

It takes her a moment or two to peel her eyes open again.

A nearby tree took the brunt of the "static", a wave of uncontrolled magic making a dent in the bark and blackening it. It wasn't a serious hit, but the damage to the tree is noticeable, and was loud enough to alert someone in the vicinity. ]


I, um--

[ She looks around. Nobody saw that, right? But if she sees someone nearby, she averts her eyes and pulls her cloak's hood up over her. ]

....what--what do I do? I--

[ .......... ]

(( For the second prompt, this is a sort of putting out feelers if anyone is interested in doing bond stuff with Azura in the next month or so, or sooner, as she's starting to get the more intense symptoms of being a bondless witch. I don't have any options OOCly so I'm game for anyone in her general age range (she's 19).

Feel free to pm me or hit me up at [plurk.com profile] hakurei if you want a custom prompt or wanna discuss any of this o/ ))

There's no need to be shy, it's really no trouble at all.

[He lets her pull away, but stays close just in case she does need assistance.]

Please, allow me to help you.

[He looks from her back to the tree. Okay, he actually has a pretty good guess what that was but still...]

But if not to your home, then where? The coven perhaps?

[Either way he can't leave a lady in distress on her own.]

[Naturally he follows.]

Well, wherever you're bound for, I'll see you get there safely.
