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!]

Then... it's a deal.

[ He can carry the basket and try to sell the flowers along, though his socializing skills are not the best by a wide shot. ]

And yes, we could bring them along so they can move around and it'd be healthy for them.

[ His house is small and a bit restrictive so it'd be nice to walk his new pup around while also working. Said new pet is now nuzzling up to him, giving up completely in its quest of squirming off his hold. ]

[She hesitates a moment before she nods, moving to the next room. She feels a bit awkward, but it's less about getting undressed and more about just worrying about bothering him. It doesn't matter that he seems to be more than willing to be a gracious host, Jennifer's long since learned to never expect someone's nature to remain the same.

But she changes into the robe (tries not to think how scandalous it is to be wandering around a strange man's home in a robe), and returns with her wet clothes in her arms, not sure what to do with them
]

Should I... Um. Do you want help with anything?
kivatteru: (011)

[personal profile] kivatteru 2019-10-06 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods, his smile widening a bit. ]

Alright. Thank you for giving me this chance, and...

[ Well, now he's really gotta check it. Wataru lifts the pup for a moment, and then hums before quickly snuggling it back in his arms. ]

... she's a girl. They must be brother and sister.

Everett...

All right. Coming over.


[Surely, he feels the disappointment and the eye rolling going through their bond. But it doesn't last as she comes over-and with a knock, walks in. She takes a moment to slide off her shoes and smooth down the needed skirt.]

Everett? I'm here.
kivatteru: (018)

[personal profile] kivatteru 2019-10-06 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh man, don't ask him, he's not the best with names either! Wataru inwardly corrects his previous statement. Two sisters... what names could suit them well? ]

Something related with flowers, perhaps? Because they're petalwolves.

[ Not an incredible idea but not bad either. ]
theunluckygirl: (I've been here for 6 hours now.)

[personal profile] theunluckygirl 2019-10-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She does as she's told and then stands around, anxiously wringing her hands. She's a guest, she knows, but it still feels incredibly strange to have anyone... doting on her? Taking care of her?

She jumps when addresses, standing up straight with wide eyes.
] Oh, um... The herbal blend? I'm not sure I've ever had green tea before... [Maybe not properly made, anyhow, but she can be reasonably sure she'll enjoy the herbal blend at least.

At length her shoulders slump a little.
] I'm sorry. [She's not even entirely sure what she's apologizing for, except maybe just. in general?] Is there anything I can do to help you here...?

... Dahlia is somehow a really cute name.

[ He has to admit so, with a tad of a blush, and he softly pets the newly named little girl and speaks to her. ]

Do you like it?

[ They may not understand but Wataru still wants their opinion on the matter, even as he's still lacking knowledge about talking with animals like Everett does. That aside, he's glad to know they chose the names well for both little girls, and now the weight of the wolf in his arms doesn't feel that aching anymore.

He now has a pet all for himself. Kivat might have a hard time getting used to the new house member. ]


Yeah. Good thing we thought of a quick solution for them... and I suppose our work is also done here?

[ Those two were the only ones causing trouble, it seems. ]
kivatteru: (039)

[personal profile] kivatteru 2019-10-06 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Diving into the dirt aside, Wataru is happy for the easy quest and reward. He'd also like to come visit Everett's place, spending a while longer with him. It seems like a good end of the day, overall.

Adjusting Dahlia in his arms, he nods, though he has to show a bit of concern. ]


I hope they don't literally destroy everything, otherwise we'll have to catch them again.

[ One dive was enough for his poor body. ]
kivatteru: (090)

[personal profile] kivatteru 2019-10-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ If Everett, the one actually good at communicating with the puppies, says it will be okay, Wataru will trust the man's judgement. Putting his heart at peace, he nods and then follows his companion to where the old lady is waiting with their reward, which she hands over with only a bit of suspicion over the fate of those baby garden destroyers. Everything will be fine, he told her, weighing in along with Everett's promise about training them.

Once out of the area, he looks slightly amused at the excited faun, smiling a bit himself. ]


Here's to many more days like these, honestly. [ He nods, allowing Dahlia to nibble his finger with her nub teeth. ]

Thank you for also helping me out. [ A pause as he thinks. ] Well, it's been... relatively calm since my arrival. I'm trying my best to get accustomed to the new place and culture, but I'm still having a difficult time frequenting the Coven and learning about all sorts of magic I never heard of before.

I don't-- [She doesn't know! She's sorry for being sorry!! But before she can get into some sort of neverending apology loop, he's drawing her attention to the kittens. Instantly she goes from feeling anxious to feeling Determined.

These kittens need a Mom and god damn it is she going to Mom them. She moves to the couch almost immediately, having a much easier time with animals than with people, but she pauses in surprise at the rat.

Her last couple experiences with rats weren't good ones at all, but this one doesn't seem all too bad. She hesitates for only a moment before reaching out to touch her fingertip to Clementine's paw.
]

...Pleased to meet you, Clementine. My name is Jennifer. [It feels a little strange to introduce herself to a rat and all, but... This whole place was strange, what did it matter. Slowly she sits next to the basket, peeking under the blanket with a soft expression.]

How dear... Truthfully, I'm more fond of dogs, but I don't really mind any sort of animal.
kivatteru: (033)

[personal profile] kivatteru 2019-10-06 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. There was nothing about this magic that existed in my home world.

[ He had a whole different type of superpower, which was being a Rider and sending enemies through the walls with his kicks. Wataru never thought he could miss that, of all things. ]

As for my heritage... I was what I would be commonly defined as a Dhampyr. I had a human father and a... vampire mother. [ Fangire, but he'd like to use a more common term that describes the similar kind of monsters. ]
