Octeuril Catch all [Open!]
Who: Everett and anybody!
When: Throughout Octeuril
Where: Aefenglom
What: Gardening, Kittens, Quests- many OTA prompts inside!
Warnings: NSFW in some threads, will mark individually as needed.
[All prompts in header are OTA! Closed prompts will be below and marked accordingly. New and established CR both welcome, plotted or not! Will match format, if prose is preferred over brackets!]
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!]

[Not a bad deal for either of them, really. Fugo moves over to the luggage to begin work folding the clothing that Everett has picked out to fill his suitcase. He's quick and neat about it; even though he's been pulled into the task midway, he's clearly dedicated to making sure the clothes Everett has picked out is as compact as possible in order to take advantage of every inch of space available to them.]
You said these were donations. Are you working with the refugees?
[He doesn't look directly at Everett when he poses this question; his question is casual enough, but he glances at Everett out of the corner of his eye to watch his reaction.]
no subject
[Everett's not the most responsible person in Aefenglom, but he's always keen to be helpful and kind. Being sure the refugees didn't slip back into old habits and not be able to make it by, that's a duty he should be committed to!]
Are you from the newest batch of Mirrorbound? Or have I simply not seen you around, sir-? [he fishes for a name, before offering a handshake]
Silly me. Allow me a proper introduction, I am Everett Vaughan, ambassador of the Springtide Clan.
no subject
Pannacotta Fugo. Napoli, Italia. [His eyebrows touch together, as if he's considering something, before he decides on:] ... I work as an accountant, although I don't represent the city.
[Fugo accepts the handshake, then shrugs.]
Yes, I'm one of the new ones. These porch sales are a lucky break. [What with... the winter. And arriving in the city with whatever one has in their pockets, which for him was a grand total of... nothing.] And would you happen to be from one of the older batches?
no subject
Very fortunate. And yes, I arrived a couple months prior. As a man used to traveling, I settle in quickly while always being ready to uproot.
I'm sure accounting makes you an asset no matter where you go. [numbers are always the same, after all, and there are always too few good with them. Everett, himself, terrible at math. He's having someone else run the books for his shop... managing money to get these donations was mostly going fine because of his charm in negotiating, not his ability to balance his funds well.]
no subject
[It's probably just some sort of formality-- tu versus lei-- but, if Fugo can wiggle out of it, he'll gladly take the opportunity to ditch the sirs.]
It's work. Although I don't expect to be able to do it here. [He's less concerned about his own age and more about... well, who's going to hire an accountant who only wants to work at night? What a pain in the ass.] What about you? What sort of work equips you to handle being uprooted from your own world and dropped into another one?
no subject
Though, my diplomatic skills have not gone entirely wasted. Just this prior month, I was sent on a mission to another branch of the Coven. The city where the refugees hail from... and where I hope they never need return. Dreadful place! Aefenglom is a paradise, if so compared.
