[Open] Come In From The Cold...

[inlikethebrume]

Who: House Darkness Residents and OPEN
When: All of February
Where: House Darkness in the Haven
What: It's an open log!
Warnings: Shadowbringers Spoilers in some threads possible, possible talk of the Snatched Event

[If anyone knows the residents of the house, it might seem strange that such a group have selected a cozy abode for their home in the city. However, it is not to be said that they are unwelcoming (depending on who) and usually when someone comes to visit, there's always a warm cup of tea ready for them...and maybe some food to go along with it. Feels like a crime if someone doesn't get fed. And despite the hardships of the previous month, the house does welcome guests for any particular reasons whether a visit for the soul, a chat to catch up on events, or even maybe go a few rounds with the poor striking dummy in the backyard.

When you live with sword users and have stress, it gets used, ok?

It might be chilly outside but strange enough, the house itself is pretty warm. Just mind the gaelkitten and Flood running around from time to time.]


((OOC: Feel free to make a top level if you wish! Open to all!))

Drop the flower, Sora.

[ Stop that. What's wrong with you. ]

[oathkeeper]

[No, he's holding onto it!]

Why?! It's just a flower!

[darkcharge]

Why are you trying to eat it then?

[ STERN HANDS ON HIPS. ]

[oathkeeper]

[Don't bully him!]

I dunno, flowers taste good now?

[darkcharge]

[ Just this face Sora. Just this face. ]

Ew?

[oathkeeper]

[Don't judge him so much???

Sora frowns and twirls the flower in his fingers. It's such an odd craving he has these days. He just wants to eat plants. They taste sweet?]

No, it's not ew! They taste kinda sweet.

[darkcharge]

They taste like chlorophyll, Sora.

[ For real, though? Plants, save for the kind you get on regular food, are just gross? ]

[oathkeeper]

Like...?

[Like what?? Chloro-what? He doesn't want to seem stupid in front of Vanitas again so he keeps his mouth shut about it.]

Riku said I shouldn't eat flowers either. I don't really know why I keep getting the craving, though.

[darkcharge]

Maybe it's your inner monster trying to come out.

[ Vanitas shrugs. It's possible. ]

Ventus practically wanted to maul me when he first started get his urges.

[oathkeeper]

Yeah...! Guess so. That would explain a few things.

[Sora twiddles the flower in his fingers a moment more before he lets it drop to the ground. He's not really sure what kind of craving this would pertain to but monster urges does explain a few of the other things he's been feeling the last few days too. Hum.]

[darkcharge]

"A few things?"

[ What else is there, Sora? ]

[oathkeeper]

Umm. I don't really know if it has to do with anything but sometimes it feels like my ears are burning too?

[It's kind of annoying. Sora tilts his head.]

[darkcharge]

That I don't know much about. Even the monsters I do speak to... I don't really ask them questions about their transformations.

[ But maybe he should...? ]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora ruffles at his own hair.]

That's okay, I guess I'll figure it all out eventually.

[He is kind of curious about what his changes are going to be. So far it's been the weird cravings, the burning ears and the more prominent desire to not be alone. But he doesn't quite pick up on that last part much yet.]

[darkcharge]

At the very least you won't go completely feral when you do.

[ Because Bonds. By now Sora probably has a plethora of them. ]

[oathkeeper]

Going completely feral? Huh?

[Sora hasn't been told about this concept yet...]

[darkcharge]

[ ...................Peachy. ]

Turning completely into a monster? Losing all sense of yourself to your monster-eque urges? Potentially hurting innocent people?

[oathkeeper]

W-what?! Does that happen to us?! I don't want to hurt anyone?!

[?!?]

But you said I wouldn't go feral, right? That's good...

[darkcharge]

You'll sill transform under the full moon.

[ Shrugs. Dem's just the facts. ]

Though no. You shouldn't go completely feral.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora tugs on his ear as if it's starting to burn already at just the mere mention of the full moon. Gosh.]

I'm glad we're bonded for that, then. [Sora huffs softly.]

[darkcharge]

Even if you weren't Bonded to me, you wouldn't have anything to worry about.

[ Again. Plethora of Bonds or people willing to form those Bonds. ]

[oathkeeper]

[There's a slight flicker of happy embarrassment at that. Vanitas might be right. But still.]

Well? I'm still glad we did!

[He doesn't know if there's anything special about Vanitas being his first one. But there's got to be something about it.]

[darkcharge]

[ Sora. You are the strangest person that Vanitas has encountered - in this world and their own. He still just doesn't understand how this kid works. ]

Do you have any idea how strange you are?

[oathkeeper]

[Sora makes a bit of a face but he does laugh.]

Takes a weirdo to know a weirdo, I guess.

[He smiles playfully. Vanitas is strange too??]

[darkcharge]

At least there is a logical reason for me being the way that I am. What’s your excuse?

[ Playing? What is this playing? ]
