The Room where it happens (open catch all!)

[weirdnecro]

Who: Sokie and you!
When: All month
Where: All over the city and on the outskirts
What: Open starters for Sokie as she tries to be productive!
Warnings: TBA



I: Parliament

[There was a lot of listening on Sokie's part, which may have seemed unusual for those who Kew her. Usually she was chatty, filled with charm and wit- but in Parliament, she dressed in a formal business suit and took notes (and also doodled). In exiting a meeting, she paused outside of the building and took a few moments to stretch. Her butt felt sore for sitting still so long.]

My butt hurts. I guess this is why I've always turned down a desk job.

[She needed to do some yoga and have a run. And a bath.]

II: Radio Hour

[Anyone and everyone could call or text in, but Sokie would stay on voice since...well, she was on the morning hour with her radio advice show. Which was on right now, live.]

Hello dear listener, welcome to An Undertaking with Undertown. What question can I answer today?

III: Teaching Magic

[She left a notice on te boards again. It wasn't good last month, by this time...maybe She could help some of the newbies learn their magic or how to counter it.

She asked them to meet at the entry of Haven, and after some introductions, things would move on from there. Well. She got to the point really.]

So, what do you want to learn today?

IV: A different kind of practice

[It was true she had a baton, but it was the kidnapping and speaking to Sephiroth that was a wake up call. Heck, she might have even been denying it, since the snow storm.

But she found a smithy and was going through the weapons, one by one, trying to find which would suit her best. So far, nothing really caught her eye but...she found one, and lightly twirled tin in one hand.]

It feels nicer but I think I need to put this through its paces.

...hey. You wouldn't mind going for a round, right?

[Sorry curious customer and or passerby. Sokie wants a smol fite.]

V: A moment of quiet

[She was in a corner of a cafe, or maybe just in Diplomatea. As usual, there were books around her, papers of various formulae, but she seemed more interested in her tea or coffee then she was in her work. Seeing someone nearby, she made a beckoning motion with her hand.]

Don't worry, I can move my stuff. Why don't you come sit?

VI: Wildcard

All other options, including hunting outside of the city can be done here! Any questions, comments, can be directed to my discord or at my plurk!

[weirdnecro]

For you? Maybe.

He's a cuddler.

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Well, he wasn't expecting that. ]

A... Cuddler? That's it?

[ What? Also, what makes you think he can't handle it? You can't, Judar. It'll make you too squirrely. Don't even pretend. ]

[weirdnecro]

That's it.

[She smiles at him. She knows you can't handle a cuddle Judar, don't even try to protest.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

You say that like it's a big deal.

[ He's not going to protest or anything. Instead he'll act like it's nothing. Even though there's no way that a feral faun like him would be able to take it. ]

[weirdnecro]

Judar, I would bet you...500 cunes you would be squirming out of a hug before five minutes passed.

[kuroi_taiyo]

Maybe if it was with you.

[ That'd just be uncomfortable from before it starts. ]

[weirdnecro]

That'd be too easy.

No, no, it'd only work if it was someone we both chose.

[kuroi_taiyo]

Make up a list, and I'll choose someone from it.

[ That seems like the fairest way to do it, as Sokie was the one putting this bet forth. ]

[weirdnecro]

Sure. And we'll eliminate anyone you don't know on said list.

[Otherwise that'd be too easy, no one wants to be hugged by strangers. Ugh. Heebie jeebies right there.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

Yeah, well that'd just go with my picking who's on that list. I'm probably not going to choose some stranger.

[ Not unless the rest of the options were straight up the worst. ]

Just make sure they're 'cuddlers,' I guess. It wouldn't count if they're the ones that squirmed out instead.

[weirdnecro]

I mean, that'd be a different bet.

Don't worry. I'll make a good list of cuddlers.

[kuroi_taiyo]

This is a one-time bet.

[ No more cuddling bets after this! You're not roping him into that even more. Just spy on him sort-of cuddling with Eren before the expedition. It'll be great. ]

And you're gonna make sure they know what's going on, and that it was your idea to include them in this nonsense.

[weirdnecro]

Oh, pffft, only once is fine. If I did it more then once, it wouldn't be as funny!

[She waves a hand. But Eren cuddling sounds adorable and she may take a pic of it.]

That includes telling them. It's not as good if they're not in on it. Who do you think I am...?

Actually. Don't answer that.

[kuroi_taiyo]

Yeah, you wouldn't want me getting used to it.

[ Save it as a wallpaper, and cherish the rare moment. ]

... Probably best I keep that answer to myself, yeah.

[weirdnecro]

Naturally not. That'd be weird. Judar, the cuddlebug...the implications.

[She pretended to shudder. Yeah, she might save it as a wallpaper, who knew.]

That's smart. That way, I don't have a reason to actually maul you.

[kuroi_taiyo]

Right, as if there'd be any.

[ Sometimes he's just so touch-starved, that if he's in public or something, he'll take that as an intermediary. A shame it'll be harder to use Eren for that when he's dragon-breeding horny. ]

I could go with the easy answer of 'an old hag.' Just to stick with the classics, and no mauling needed.

[weirdnecro]

[Public cuddling, how lewd Judar. But...yeah let's not tempt Eren, he's licky as it is.]

I shudder at the idea.

[She snorted.]

That's because I know it doesn't mean anything. As in, there's no bite. I am old after all.

[kuroi_taiyo]

I'm almost afraid of what you're imagining.

[ Wait until the weather warms up. He'll be keeping a lot of people busy. ]

That's why it's the easy answer, right? No bite, just facts.

[weirdnecro]

Horrifying. You don't want to know.

[So much public hand holding...how could you Judar!]

But you're right, it is. I don't really care if you call me a hag. And you shouldn't care if I call you a cute kid.

[He is a kid to her. Most people are.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ Ew. At least he can't do that while going around with crutches. Don't sully his image with those things. ]

I mean, I'd say 'cute' would give people the wrong idea.

[ He's not that much of a kid! Or nearly as harmless. ]

[weirdnecro]

[Too late, it's sullied.]

Well, you're adorable when you're flustered. Most people wouldn't get that you're...whatever you want to call yourself.

[Faun about town? Sexy? Dangerous? She doesn't want to know.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

[ What weird image have you cooked up in your head about him, Sokie? All of this is confusing. ]

Usually? Judar. That's all I call myself around here.

[ It's not his only name, but it should get the hint across that he doesn't try to be anything, so much as roll with how things go. ]

I don't really try to make people see me a particular way.

[weirdnecro]

You're no fun.

[He's plenty fun, but she's trying to tease him a bit. But yeah he's go with the flow and that's fine.]

I didn't mean it in a manipulate way but it's fine. You just be you Judar.

[kuroi_taiyo]

I guess the most people would say is that I'm straight-forward.

[ Well, not that straight, and pretty damn forward and direct. The point got across with how he doesn't try to frame a particular persona, anyway. (Imagine if he were only a few years younger. He'd be a horror.)

At least this is a good direction for the banter and drinks to go, as opposed to things like bringing up the idea that his caretakers were poisoning him for control purposes. ]

[weirdnecro]

[Straight forward, but straight...not...exactly, she knows you look at some nice boy butts Judar. But if he had been younger...there would have been a lot of wrestling on both of their parts, and not in a good way.]

Which is easier for everyone. And...you know in the end...that'll make you far more trustworthy.

[Unlike her. She knows this though, encourages it sometimes.]

Anyway. Let me know when you want to make peach jam pastries. I'll let you use my kitchen.
