Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked [Open monthly catchall!]

[showsnopiety]

Who: Caren and you!
When: Throughout October
Where: All around Aef and its outskirts
What: Monthly things! Sewing! Hunting?
Warnings:



I: Blood for Bucks

[Well she thought that it would be a good thing for there to be a supply of blood for vampires. Mary...if Mary was here, she would have offered her blood to him and make sure that he was well fed. But...he was gone. So she could only help the others, like Makoto and...whoever else was a vampire here.

When she went to the bar, she made sure that she went to the bartender, speaking loud enough for others to hear.]

I'm fine with giving a fresh blood donation. It'd be better then doing it in vials for me, I think.

II: Habitat for Refugees

[She was just supposed to be cleaning. She was good at cleaning. And she found herself with...was that a monster child attached to her skirts?

She couldn't tell what kind it was, just that it was...really attached to her leg. And she was already so wobbly.]

I'm not your mother, nor your relation. You can find them elsewhere.

[Nope. Still attached. Gently she made to...poke them with a broom.]

You're aware that I am a stranger yes...?

[Help. Someone. Anyone.]

III: Lights in the Trees

[She'd made sure to get a sword to use just in case, like the volunteers did. And it was actually just...nice to get out of the city for a bit. She wasn't planning to go too far. She didn't want her bond to accidentally snap.

But hearing about the possible lights...it seemed interesting enough to go. While she had been walking for awhile, she made to pause to turn on her Watch with a quiet sigh.]

I may have good night vision, but I don't want to stumble around blind. It's darker then I expected out here.

IV: Hoodie times

[Back at the Knit Wit, after her ad on the network, there were people she was expecting to see for either dressing them, altering their clothing or...getting the measurements of people of getting their measurements or perhaps even-those that were getting their orders in.

Either way, she would look up when she heard the tinkling of the bell, her tail curling and unfurling at the sight of someone coming through the door.]

Good day to you. How can I assist you today?

V: Giving Lessons

[It was all by per-arrangement. She knew there were people who wanted to make pizza, learn to clean, cook-do things they didn't know how to do at home. Because well...not everyone knew it, and she could see that more and more. And that made for a way to ensure that people could survive on their own. So appointments were made and directions were sent to the mansion Caren resided in, so they could knock on the door.

Caren would open the door and motion them inside with a:]

If you could please take off your shoes? And then we can begin.

VI: Pizza pizza

Come in.

[The manse...it smelt like pizza. She appeared from the kitchen, wiping her hands clean.]

Ah, yes, you have an order. Which one is it?

VII:Keep on fallin

[She was trying to move from place to place. And that was a pretty normal thing and normally not a problem at all but...

She was wobbling like a drunk, and she hated it. Maybe she should stay at home and just relax but...it was lonely in there, and she really did not feel like being alone just then. She'd be bored out of her skull in half a second.

But then-maybe someone bumped into her, maybe she just stepped the wrong way-she ended up falling into a feathery puff in the middle of the street.

And while she could sit up, she...couldn't get back onto her feet. Well. Welp. This was embarrassing. And she was pretty sure she left her Watch at home...]

This...is a problem...

VIII: Wildcard

Comments

[showsnopiety]

Goodness, you're easily flustered. I'd even call it adorable.

[Sorry Viren, she has to tease you a bit. She's not sure how well he did it, but she does know-in general at least-that Morgana is Awful. But as he comes around again...

She offers him an amused look as she continues sweeping.]

But yes? What is it? I'm all ears.

[bloodwit]

[ there's a grimace at the comment, a little clicking of teeth together as his eyes narrow. hff. but he resists any more of a reactive response when caren confirms she'd listen. he is about to ask a favor, after all -- better to play nice. his tone mellows. ]

I was wondering.. Once you have become more accustomed to your legs,

[ here, he gives a little point of the broom handle to them, before resting its brush against the floor once more. ]

—If you would... [ what's the word that's used. 'fight' does seem simplest. ] ... Train? Spar with me, on occasion. I would pay you for your time, of course.

[showsnopiety]

[She does have a habit of needling people. It's one of her flaws. Still- her eyebrows raise briefly, and she considers.

And nods.]

Certainly. I would be happy to render assistance. But- may I ask why me as a training partner?

[Surely there are others who are far better. She can think of a few off the top of her head.]

[bloodwit]

[ ah. he is a bit pleased to hear of acceptance, but, ]

Because you are the only one I know, with that sort of background.

[ —well. that's what he says immediately, but if he considers, he does know... at least one other person that could do so. he just doesn't know how up they are for providing guidance. viren strokes his beard, looks over to her again. ]

Unless there is someone else you think more suited to the task; I wouldn't mind hearing, I suppose...

[showsnopiety]

I can think of three or four that have combat expertise in physical combat. Least, that I'm aware of.

However...they would train you hard. Perhaps too hard for just coming in. Kyo however...

He does have a dojo.

[bloodwit]

That is how I want to be worked.

[ matter-of-factly — hard. to the bone!! ]

A "dojo" is a ... training arena, of sorts?

[showsnopiety]

Don't be stupid. They'll likely overwork you and you'll get frustrated they're so advanced. Work smart, not hard.

[He won't learn if he blindly charges in. But in any case:]

Area more then arena. It's a place to learn martial arts and discipline.

[bloodwit]

[ viren rolls his eyes, nose wrinkling briefly. ]

Please, I can make that choice for myself. [ mhmm.

someone may not overestimate his fighting ability, but there's certainly an overestimation of something, here. ]

I will be in contact, with this Kyo. But what are the other names—?

[showsnopiety]

Mmm, well-if that's what you wish. Don't cry when you tear your muscles.

[Yeah, she's pretty sure he's a weenie but she will actually help if he comes over with muscle pains. She does know medical care and all, even if it's mundane.]

Kyo Sohma. The others would be Wolf, Zack Fair, Chuuya Nakahara, Archer, Lancer. Ignis Scientia has some training at least with the form of daggers, and his friend Noctis may have training as well-however I'm unsure of how much.

There are others who may know combat, but it may be only magic based-which unless I miss my guess, you don't simply wish to learn how to dodge spells.

[bloodwit]

Zack Fair... [ ! ] That's a familiar name.

[ caren, you thankfully shan't hear a peep from him when he has to deal with those muscle aches. that would be weak!!!!! —will he have to come for medical care someday, regardless? perhaps...

viren nods at her assessment. ]

Correct. [ .. ] That is more names than I'd expected, but - I appreciate the list, all the same.

[showsnopiety]

It's an easy name to remember. It may help that he's a chimera, like myself.

[Though a different chimera...and also if he doesn't want to be in debt to a witch, you can be in debt to a monster for medical aid.

If that makes sense. She'll still give the side eye for sore backs.]

I've been around for a little while, know a few people.

[She shrugged, and her wings wiggled.]

I'm sure it's not a complete list, but-that's fine. I'm sure you'll meet a few others willing to train you.

[And not break Viren over their knee...hopefully.]
