[Open] November Catchall
Who: Mira and OPEN
When: All of November
Where: Coven, Shopping District, Sly Seadog, Anywhere in the city
What: It's a catchall for November
Warnings: Potential Shadowbringers Spoilers depending on the thread. Just let me know if you're down for it just in case.
Hit Them Books! (Coven: All Month)
[Who knew the lady who casually carries a large broadsword is also a huge book nerd? Well, that's Mira as she can be seen not only in the mandatory classes but also during independent study time. She can be seen anywhere practicing up to three particular styles:
Alchemy will have her nose stuck in a book as well as have many different ingredients stacked up neatly as she slowly follows the recipe in the tome...but there are some moments where the potion blows up in smoke. Quite literally in her face. But she'll be practicing her array drawing as well. Can't promise it won't be a mess.
Evocation will have her try and focus on an element she is unfamiliar with: considering she mainly dealt with anything involving Darkness, perhaps dealing with something involving Light would suffice as a first go. Maybe a ball to start. Unlike her foray into alchemy, there is no explosions or smoke but she is having a bit of a difficult time trying to make the ball the right size, usually too small.
Divination will have her also hitting the books too. Like a lot of them. Anything involving scrying and the kind of tools needed to reading all any meanings to what dreams hold. This last one will be the most confusing for her and someone may hear her be confused at the interpretation of the most mundane things such as apples. Really? There's a meaning behind those?]
Tailor Troubles (Shopping District: Days leading to Masquerade)
[Oh Mira has seen the fliers make the rounds, speaking about a masked party for the city. But that seems to be for the highborn members of society back in Ishgard and Ul'dah, not meant for people like her. She'll just continue to work on her studies until a tailor spots her looking at one of the papers and tries to get her to come into their store for a fitting. Politely, Mira shakes her head and tells him "No thank you." before going on her way.
Then another one finds her and tries to get her to come into her store. And again, Mira declines politely. But when those two become more frequent in their questioning, it begins to get on her nerves.]
What cannot you not understand of 'no'?! I am not interested so please step aside and let me pass!
[Not even the words of how she should show off how pretty she is and to not hide herself can soothe her. The one time she does not have Shadowbringer on her back is the time she gets hounded by merchants. No, she doesn't care about free publicity, she wants to go back home and get back to studying! Where was Tala when you need her?
Someone help?]
Did Anyone Ask For a Yeet? (The Sly Seadog: Whenever)
[Some people may believe reading books in a rowdy bar is just asking for trouble but for Mira, it's rather soothing. Call it white noise or something like it because all she is doing is enjoying that little book of how her world's dark knights came to be for the millionth time. She can't recall how the brawl began but it didn't bother her, even lifting up her arms or tucking her legs into her chair as someone decided to throw some sort of object across her viewpoint. But still, Mira kept her nose in her book until a stranger let their fingers grip the top of the tome to which she replied with a flick of her fingers.]
Find something else to use in your fight. If you touch this book again however, I will have to give you a lesson in manners.
[She doesn't look up from her book but the man ends up letting out a gawf of a laugh.]
A pretty thing like you? Doubt it, sweetie!
[He was stupid to not notice Shadowbringer resting on the wall beside her but that's his downfall as Mira shuts her book and gives the man the flattest look possible.]
I'm sorry but you are not my mother and have no right to refer to me as such.
Or what? Gonna give me a little love tap?
[And that's when Mira gives him a smirk because oh boy did he fuck with the wrong warrior...
If someone is inside and watching it happen, they will see Mira reach for her greatsword and use it like a baseball bat, smacking the man hard enough to get him flying out the door. However, if they are just preparing to go in, they may wanna dodge the guy first.]
Bloody hells, I come to relax and some sodding bugger decides to try that. Hope he learned his lesson.
[Yeet.]
Wildcard
[Got any other ideas? Hit me up!]

no subject
Some people need the lesson driven further home and nothing is worse than bad publicity.
[What's a little threatening their livelihood between client and business, hmm?]
Oh, it would be wise to give you my name at least for the assistance. I'm Mira.
no subject
[Her smile is genuine, if not a little crooked. The sudden need for introductions rather than talks about punching someone in the face switches some of that awkwardness back on. Her hand extends for a handshake, because that's all she knows to do in these kinds of situations.]
Do those sorts of things happen a lot around here?
no subject
It is nice to meet you, Lightning. I however cannot say for this city considering I have only been here a moon but hopefully they are in a minority. Most merchants I have run into do have some code to uphold.
no subject
[The realization dawns on her quickly.]
You're newer here, too.
[Well, that makes her feel a little better about all of this, at least. Not in the fact that they had both suffered at the hands of some very aggressive dressmakers, but because neither of them was alone in that. It's a weird place to find some comfort in a very unfamiliar world, but it's something.]
no subject
[Look, sometimes it takes some crazy tailors to start a conversation. And perhaps meet decent people in the process.]
no subject
Decently...
[Lightning scoffs a laugh out loud.]
Been a little rough. The Welcome Committee's got some work to do if they think we want all sorts of new limbs our first go here.
no subject
You speak of the mist that happened nary a week upon arrival then? Aye, that was a right mess and the aftermath of it seemed to make the locals scorn in our direction.
[Being chased sucked.]
no subject
The locals are giving you trouble?
[Besides the obvious dress mishaps, Lightning hasn't run into a whole lot of issues, but if they're misdirecting their frustrations on her fellow Mirrorbound, she's got some things to say about it.]
no subject
[Said with a reassuring smile. Can she say that she used the blunt sides of her sword as an impromptu battering ram when folks tried to chase her from her front?]
no subject
Granted, she thinks that maybe they should be able to see from their side, too – if a whole bunch of strangers suddenly showed up in Bodhum, she'd be lying if she said they wouldn't be suspicious of them, either. PSICOM might even get involved... But this isn't Cocoon.]
I'd almost think they assume we're all asking to be here. Not like I got a job to do back home or anything.
no subject
[Sure Mira has a job to do but last as she recalls, she fell asleep exhausted from it. Some of us were resting, damn otherwordly powers!]
no subject
[When she puts it that way... although Lightning has spent most of her time here being a complete sourpuss about it than anything else. It's been some very productive sourpussing, though. As for everything else about her life here, it hasn't turned out as well as she hoped it would.]
Haven't had much luck on my end. Been trying to find a job that interests me.
[She gives Mira a look then, wondering if she's found anything, being just as much a newbie as she is.]
