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!]

[There were some changes that she thought would happen to all of her bonded. Weird feet stuff...some skin changes...in a way it was like being a teenager all over again. And some of it was a little too much like a teenager.

She was trying to keep it to herself mostly, but with the sensations she were getting from Everett, it was getting more and more difficult. She could still get around places but...she had to stop wearing pants for obvious reasons. Else, she'd call attention to herself.

Seeing the text, she had to sigh, and close her eyes, before texting him back.]


I can, and I would like to check on something.

Are you going to have other people helping you this week? I need to sleep sometime.

PUPPIES

[personal profile] kivatteru 2019-10-04 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Though most of his strength his gone, Wataru could still count on his reflexes. Not like it helps him a lot when he's chasing down the petalwolf puppies, which are quick to slip out of his grasp and scurry out of sight the instant he blinks his eyes. He came to terms with the fact many elements from his previous dream are an actual reality in this world. Weird, but not something he'd ponder too much about unless necessary.

Wataru decides to take a risk and make a dive, catching the puppy off guard when he hits the ground and manages to grab the little thing and pull it close, resisting the inevitable squirming and whining. It nibbles on his scarf, but not enough to leave damage. He even doubts the pup developed its sharp teeth yet.

With a sigh, he sits up, trying to reach for his fallen hat while keeping the critter steady in his other arm. When he succeeds, his eyes wander up towards Everett. ]


This is much harder than I thought...

[ viren had been passing through, likely as quickly as he could, but being irritatingly blocked by the crowds of boisterous sailors, wandering sots, and now - a drunk, if at least recognizable, acquaintance. ]

[ goddang fauns, he swears. ]

Everett? What are you—

[ "busy being completely tanked," is the answer to that. honestly, if he had been on less peaceable terms with the person (or if they'd just been a stranger), he may have reacted a bit more aggressively; as it stands, viren's eyes have flown wide, startled. he just sort of. tries to squirm out from under the arm over his shoulder. ]

[ ah. ]

No, I don't think so. I'm not here to stay.
bloodwit: (could also be known)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-04 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ viren almost snaps out a 'no,' in fact his mouth opening to form the syllable, but then he shuts it with a click of fangs, rethinks. ]

... Right.

[ complete with a narrowing of his eyes, he frowns. admittedly, he's intrigued by that. having been distracted from attempting to hoist everett's arm off, he leans in a bit, expecting something real juicy.

(hoping for something real juicy.)

but not without some skepticism - the man's had a few too many, after all.
]

Yes...? What is the news?
bloodwit: (home to his heart)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-04 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ viren's eyebrows raise, surprised by the tone. that's right; he doesn't think he's heard him sound angered before. so, confirmed: this is gon' be juicy. ]

[ he sighs, rolls his eyes as everett orders two shots. at this point, though, it would be faster for him not to kick up a fuss. ]

Yes, and make it quick.

[ surely, the bartender really appreciates being the extra bossing around. ]

[ he looks back to the faun, though. ]

... Where is it that you live? [ then he's to amend that, just in case (like this isn't at all a completely obvious ploy, but he hopes that the alcohol won't have him catching on immediately that he's about to be dragged back and shoved into his house). because yes, it does strike him that he doesn't. exactly know where he lives: ] Curiosity.

bloodwit: (should i run)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ —viren is definitely of the mind that everett gets a kick out of teasing him. he raises a hand, pinches the bridge of his nose with his claws' tips, wills his embarrassment to fade. ]

Yes; I am going to take you home.

[ not in the way that's being oh-so-suggested here, though, so he adds: ]

In a proper way.

[ bartender, where tf are their drinks!! ]
bloodwit: (should i embrace it)

1/2

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ honestly? he suspects he could.

words like, you know, fornication and intimacy of a sexual nature for nonreproductive purposes... amazing. but so viren is - very out of his element. his eyebrows lower, consternation flashing over his face. he swallows.
]

I am sure. In the state that you are, that would be particularly tasteless.

[ like ok he adheres to morals when they're not in the way of his #noblegoals sometimes. ]

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ but holy shit, bro ]

Bartender!

[ snapped, tearing his eyes away from everett and glancing up for the server - ]

I said quick, not snail's pace.

[ - speak of the devil, the server who is actually just hurrying back with their shots. everett, hopefully, tips well. ]
bloodwit: (gather outside)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
... Of course...

[ uh huh, obviously he is just mr. upstanding over here ]

[ one can imagine that viren doesn't. often go to parties, but he can recognize a fun gesture when he sees one. he sort of admires it for its theatricality while also being efficient. huh. he doesn't have use that technique right now, but it's something to note.

so his method isn't as eye-catching, regrettably, but he likewise opts to toss the shot back in one go. he pushes the empty glass back onto the counter. his nose wrinkles slightly - the burn's stronger than anticipated.
]

[ but-- well. he's going to try to manuever them both towards the exit, steady-like. ]

Right, then. Let's leave.
bloodwit: (and my name means heavy)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, that made it extra extra fun ]

[ accepting of the hold, viren's quiet a moment as he processes that cordial invitation. ]

I see. ... It is appreciated.

[ sincere, that response. well, he guesses he would see if that invitation holds up when the man's not intoxicated. but that's a bitter thought, and he very much recognizes, by this point, that everett's kind and generous with his company. ]

[ once they're freer of potentially eavesdropping ears, viren peers at the man, the curiosity returned to his tone. ]

And... the news, would be--?
bloodwit: (cling to his chest)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ viren listens, basically hanging on every slurred word, every emphasized prod to his chest. three pokes in total. he can't say he's... particularly sympathetic, thus far; he supposes memory wiping usually does spell bad shit for people. ]

I'm sorry to hear that, about your bonded.


[ so, pressing on, ]

And, did you find out what the bad work was, exactly...?
bloodwit: (if i forsake you)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2019-10-05 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh my goD the suspense ]

I hadn't realized you were injured.

[ he really did think this was all just drunken stumbling; should he be going more slowly...? viren glances downward towards everett's feet - his ankle, more specifically. honestly, he's impressed with the dedication to that plot. he can't chastise that method too much; it'd been for a good cause, and a creative idea - he thinks he would've done the same. ]

[ his eyebrows knit together. ]

And... then what happened...?
