Rainy Days, Here to Stay
A. Gardening for fun and competition

[Everett's cottage was a welcome sight, coming back from Dorchacht. He hasn't been a mirrorbound for long and yet, it felt enough like a home to him. His garden had been well taken care of in his absence, but after gaining so much more experience with his magic in Dorchacht, he was ready to really expand. He could let his neighbors have the more beautiful garden, after all!

He'll be happily recruiting any who wish to help him, offering them garden boxes of herbs and tea plants to take home with them in repayment. His tobacco plants he's protective of, but the lilies are off limits!

If gardening isn't in one's skill or knowledge set, that's just fine, Everett seems to be new to it himself, mostly relying on his magic to grow and maintain his garden. All the same, he didn't want to keep draining himself, so there is a stack of literature bought and borrowed on the subject. He's happy for others to take a look, or to write out instructions transcribed, for home care of gifted plants!

They just need to be mindful none of those books get wet. Everett enjoys working out in the rain, but it's difficult to not trek in the water and muck straight into his tidy cottage...]


B. Shelter from the downpour (aka The Kitten Giveaway)
[Throughout the month, Everett will be out and about his yard. He's landscaping the front portion with verdant rose bushes and hibiscus and ivy to crawl up the front porch of his cottage. Soon enough, it's overtaken with more green and blossoming flowers than it is wooden structure. HIs front gate is always left wide open and welcoming.

On this day, it's really pouring. He spies someone stuck out in it, waving to them from under his porch. There's a basket in his arm and he's stuffing it full of... kittens? Seems a family of strays was taking shelter and he felt a need to help. The neighbors keep feeding the local cats, but this was the first Everett saw of little ones. They should really be brought in.

As should the poor person out in the rain! Everett waves them in, warmly greeting even a perfect stranger. He's always happy to make friends.]


This way! My cottage is warm, do take shelter. It really is coming down today!

A Questing We Shall Go
A. Garden Troubles
[Everett loves him some fresh preserves! He's also just a very helpful man, aiding the old woman with her troubles would be on his to-do even without reward. He's happy to see someone else willing to indulge her. He's glad others are so kind!

He does not expect the issue to be puppies of all things. The same from the dream, even! Same kind of creature, at least. Everett was already very fond of the petal wolves, so he's careful not to harm any while shooing the majority away. One remains and it's a particularly pesky one, he's in need of the other helper to chase the pup into his arms. He catches the dog around the midsection and swings the creature up in his arms, looking it over appraisingly]


Caught you, little one! This is no place for you.... [it whimpers at him and. Oh. Huh.

He could understand just what it meant! How curious that is.]


B. Habitat for Refugees
[While he's more than happy to be out of Dorchacht, Everett is not content to leave the refugees without assistance. They're in real need of support and mentorship, autonomy is a frightening prospect! Everett does not want them slipping back into familiar habits or finding new, worse ones. Aefenglom may be a better place, but it's not perfect and these monsters could easily be taken advantage of if they're not well looked after. Everett is assisting on two, main fronts.

Firstly, thrifting! He's happy to gather some money up of his own and kind donation of other volunteers, using every coin of it wisely. With so many yard sales around the city, it's easy to get practical goods and furniture at a bargain. The housing for the refugees should be well stocked with living essentials in now time! Of course, assistance hunting down good deals and even just moving so much furniture would be very helpful to him.

Second, he's doing much the same as he did in Dorchacht, brightening up the neighborhood with plant life! His focus is on planting herbs, tea plants, and fruiting trees. Plants the refugees can easily tend to themselves and harvest for the local market or keep for themselves. Everett's eye is steadfastly on providing the practical!]

[ —oh lord, he's glad the man recalled that little detail. and jesus, he's also pretty sure that a one-story building would've done just as fine. with a solid nod of agreement, casually, ]

I'm sure that must've been quite difficult for you...

[ re: behaving. ]

[ assuming everett to have an arm still slung over his shoulder, and thus him to have an arm tucked around the man's waist, he may be able to feel the taptap of the drumming of fingers against his abdomen. ]

Everett. The bad work...?
bloodwit: (i could be like you?)

[ as the first name he registers, viren doesn't yet make the connection to her being -- the witch, and now the bonded, that had chastised him back in dorchacht. but it sounded like they looted a few items of importance; he will have to return to that point in a moment. ]

[ the drumming of his fingers stop, his eyebrows raising. he definitely expects the faun to continue speaking, so when he trails off, viren's teeth click together. ]

And...? What was in the room...?
bloodwit: (i'll never forget)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ THE SUSPENSEEEEEE ]

[ oh, viren likes the scent of the flowers very much, even if he can't properly appreciate their appearance with the lack of sunlight. but so he enters, as bid, shutting the door behind him and then eyeing the space he's welcomed into. it's homely, in an inviting way - that he will acknowledge. ]

[ ... then he eyes everett as he absolutely sprawls. he swears, if this man falls asleep before the end of the story... ]

[ well, he'd just go about trying to wake him up, but still. ]

[ posture kept formal, he takes a seat. ]

Your home is rather nice. It's not a style I'm used to seeing, but it's pleasant, all the same.

[ because it's no castle, but hey, nor is his current dwelling. ]

[ The hat lands back on his head with a puff, and he smiles a bit at the praise. ]

Thank you. It was a quite desperate attempt, though.

[ He can't ignore the whining and nibbling, it's so cute... but what Everett says next is sad, and his smile perishes quickly. ]

Did the mother really think they would be fine on their own? It's way too early if you ask me...

Rainy Day- B

[personal profile] theunluckygirl 2019-10-05 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[This is what she gets for exploring, isn't it? You'd think being from England would make her more cautious to take an umbrella with her everywhere, just in case, but... Nope.

She's caught in the downpour, because the Unlucky Princess title has to follow her here too, and she's just resigning herself to the fact that this is just going to be her life now when Everett calls out to her. The voice is a familiar one and she looks up before hurrying towards it to find shelter beneath the porch.

She hugs at herself, shivering, and blinks up at him, realizing now here she knows him from.
]

Oh! You're-- I-I'm sorry for intruding like this... [She says, despite the fact he invited her.]
bloodwit: (to make art)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah, another invite. he does look forward to it, admittedly.

but is he being bribed into making himself more comfortable... is this what this is

after eyeing the watch with poorly-hidden eagerness, then hearing the words, he sighs. he obliges by carefully pulling off his boots, sets them neatly aside a leg of the chair. boom, done. and looking back up towards the man, gesturing with a hand towards this feat,
]

There. Satisfied?

Everett, I've been having to wear skirts this week for a reason. I don't like skirts. They look really unflattering on me.

[Also she likes being able to run and all if she has to but yes. And yes, the sexual frustration, she has been feeling that too, not to mention the other thirst monster she knows.]

I would like you to consider a few other partners for the full moon. I'm not saying I'm lacking in stamina-I'm fit and active-but I like being able to do things like eating and sleeping. If there's more then just me, there can be tag teams.
weirdnecro: (And pray we get there soon)

[personal profile] weirdnecro 2019-10-05 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sokie does not pull back her punches. His flustered reply has her grin, as she feels the flood of emotion she's not used to feeling. Poor little faun man.]

All right, all right. But maybe some other people to help you out, all right?

I know you're attracted to more then one person around here.


[Or was that Paloma? Sometimes it's mixed up.]

[ Wataru gets back on his feet, dusting his pants off. He has yet to pick up a magic that lets him communicate with animals, but the scene before him is really cute. It makes him wonder about the one little wolf in his arms, which has calmed down considerably since it got caught. ]

That's really good hearted of you, Everett. I wonder if it would be allowed to adopt them, though? I...

[ He frowns. ]

My house is on the small side and it has no garden, but I could make room for a pet.
weirdnecro: (And pray we get there soon)

[A monster fucker or a sex monster? You decide!]

I don't blame you, which is why I haven't been texting you complaints about the state of the panties.

But yes, I'm on my way. We didn't finish the last bottle together? I thought we did.


[Maybe not. Admittedly, Everett had a way of distracting her from mundane matters such as bottle consumption. They were called fingers.]

[ As someone who does like dogs but never kept one as a pet, Wataru has a few little doubts over his pet owner skills, but Everett's words are so nice and encouraging... that, along with the pup itself seemingly agreeing with the choice, leaves him with a tiny bit of darker pink dusting his cheeks, and a smile cracking over his more relaxed features. ]

If it really is okay, and you can help me a bit, I would love to keep them.

[ He should check whether the pup is a boy or a girl, but he'll do that in a bit. ]

Surely I will return the favor should you ever need me for anything...

[ Garden work that doesn't involve chasing beasts down would be... ideal. He was never a gardener but he can still learn, just the way he's also going to witch school and studying magic. ]

I have no set jobs at the moment, so I'd be happy to offer myself as a help for an indeterminate time.

[ What a pleasant man. Wataru already feels comfortable around Everett, and maybe seeing each other everyday will solid their friendship, which is what he also needs in a world where he's pretty much on his own. ]
theunluckygirl: (I want to be dead)

[personal profile] theunluckygirl 2019-10-06 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She follows his directions rather meekly, removing her shoes at the mat and shivering as she carefully walks across the floor.]

I'm going to get everything all wet... [Is her weak protest, but the fire is warm and inviting and helps ward away some of the chill. Probably she should take her hair down from its tight bun too to let it dry, but the thought doesn't even occur to her] Um, but... I'll take some tea, if it won't be a bother.
