[open] january catch-all
Who: Nero and you
What: New Year's celebrations and assorted quests
When: Throughout January
Where: Camelot, the Edge of Dusklight Woods
Warnings: Nero's potty mouth, prompt 3 will include mentions/depictions of character death
1. FIREWORKS
a (closed to Alice) - [Nero's not the type to get excited about fireworks, of all things, but he knows a certain someone who might appreciate the show, considering she's never seen a fireworks display before. So he takes Alice to the crowd gathering around Camelot's castle. Nearby, there's a board displaying the minutes and seconds left counting down until the new year.
He's keeping hold of her hand through the crowds so that they don't get separated, at least until he finds what seems to be a good spot to get ready for watching the display. Then he looks down at her, and grins.]
It'll be really loud, and it might seem scary at first, but I promise it'll be fun when you get used to it.
b (open) - [Feel free to spot Nero around! Perhaps you bump into him during the fireworks display, grabbing a midnight snack at a stall somewhere, or maybe once the crowds are starting to thin out and people are heading home.]
2. QUEST - SHADLIN SHOWDOWN
[It's quite the trek from the city to the edge of the woods, and Nero is yawning, bored already. He figures it'd be easy money, so he agreed to it, but he's not expecting much from how vague the description was.] This quest kinda seems like bullshit to me. Eyes watching people? Weird noises? Who the hell cares. There's probably all kinds of monsters hiding in there.
[Nero is already complaining to whoever his partner is for this quest, as they travel to reach the Edge of the Dusklight Woods. He has his blade and his (thankfully now enchanted to magically reload) gun in tow, but it's more of a precaution than anything. It's starting to get dark as they arrive, the sun dipping low below the horizon.]
Maybe if we ask 'em nicely, they'll mind their manners and stop staring.
3. MIRROR, MIRROR
["Brave of soul" is a trait Nero is confident enough in, so he agrees to help with at least this portion of the quest ("pure of heart"... not so much). He'll go right ahead and lead the way into the cave, cocky grin in place.]
Come on! Worst fears? Bring it!
[For all his bravado, he soon goes quiet when he hears a certain song begin to echo through the cave. He squints, looking around for the source; evidently the voice is deeper within.]
... You hearing this? [He mutters to his travelling companion. He's apprehensive, but he knows he doesn't have a choice but to press on ahead.]
4. WILDCARD

[Nero, you're a terrible influence.]

...Well, my work back home anyway. Here not so much.
no subject
So you had a job in your world that involves fast thinking. What was it like?
no subject
[He shrugs.] Monster hunting seems like big business here too, so who knows, maybe I'll start it over here too eventually.
no subject
Well, it is worth giving it a shot in Avalon. Hopefully it does well here.
no subject
[Nero likes fighting and hunting way too much to want to give it up altogether, besides occasional quests.]
no subject
I am not even sure if I will stay a cafe barista for long: maybe one day I could find another path someday, although I am doing well with my current job and I still treasure the whole experience as well.
(He is not so sure if the local law enforcement authorities can accept a teenager at the moment, but who knows? At least he does have a decent job to earn some gold.)
