Mandrakes

[Azul is more than happy to get the hell out of Celliwig at this point. He has a meeting with some traders to get to, everything about the mirrors was a pain in the ass, and he really misses his bed.

So of course he's just giving the guy asking him for help with the mandrakes the most Tired and Annoyed Look known to man. If looks could kill, this guy would be so dead not even a necromancer could fix it.]


I really don't have time, and I don't really do this sort of thing for free. Doubly so when I have places to be. I'm sorry, you're just going to have to find someone else--

Look, if you help, you can take the damn things. They've got all sorts of uses for potions! And I'll pay you.

[Oh, in that case.]

...you said they were mandrakes? I know several things you can use those for...

[So yeah, if you look stronger than Azul (not hard), he'll be flagging you down so he can get some of this. And also money.]

Fresh Waters

[Unlike just about everyone else, Azul doesn't seem to the panicking in the slightest even as he swims around with the lower half of an octopus, his skin now an odd shade of purple. He's also a lot larger than he normally is, though that's probably mostly because he has eight tentacles now. If anything he...almost seems to be in his element, quickly gathering his things and throwing them into a bag before taking off.

And then coming back around when he passes by another cecaelia.

Muttered as he approaches:]


It's actually painful to watch this... [And then, more clearly:] You're trying to swim like a human. Suck the water in your siphon and eject it-- [a quick glance to see where the other end of the siphon might be here] --probably around your hips.

[He may hate people seeing him like this, but, frankly, there are bigger things to worry about. Like all these humans embarrassing him.

Is this what humans thought about him and the twins when they were learning to walk? God.]


Fresh Waters -- Other

[Of course, cecaelia or not, perhaps at some point you get near the surface and are now trying to figure out how to get out of the water. Perhaps you even flounder about for a bit.

That's when a very strong tentacle wraps around your waist. You have three seconds before you are suddenly just thrown onto the shore like you weigh no more than a sand dollar.

Out in the water, you can see Azul watching you.]


Camelot

[After all of that, Azul can be found in Camelot outside a building of dark brick with some papers in his hand and looking at his phone. If you're passing by, you might hear him talking to himself.]

Landscapers, suppliers, interior designers who aren't going to argue with me... [A sigh] This would be so much easier if Jade were here.

Other

[Want something specific? PM me or add me at Plurk to hash it out!]

[Caster hated this. She hated all of this. She did not like suddenly being half octopus and having to re-learn how to move underwater- this was much harder than it looks!

Oh no. It would be just her luck to run into her rival whilst she was struggling to manoeuvre all of her new limbs at once, wouldn't it?]


...You're making fun of me, aren't you?

[And worse still, he gets to see her without her evil witch cloak for once!]

[ Most people would just ignore it if they overheard a stranger saying some stuff while they were passing by.

But not Minako Aino, oh no. She's just the perfect level of nosy to involve herself regardless, stopping in the middle of walking when she hears this guy speak up. ]


... Are you looking for something?

[ Or someone, rather. That's what it sounds like to her. ]

[It just so happens that this wayward bard is passing by when he spots the fishy man looking over some sort of dark brick building and scowling deeply at his device. For that, Venti walks over with a curious little bounce in his step.]

Why hello again, Azul! If I'm hearing you correctly, are you trying to build yourself an empire of some sort?

[Someone looks nosy! It's the one and only! Kaeya Alberich!]
reloves: (♀ and hold you in my slender arms)

[personal profile] reloves 2021-08-02 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well.. Usually people don't assume right away that everyone is out to argue with them, you know!

[ Granted, he was a little more specific than that. But either Minako misunderstood what he was saying, or she's simplifying the matter by a whole bunch. ]

I'm sure that you're not mean enough of a person to get that instinctive reaction from people!

[A nosy bird with nothing better to do than bother.]

Oh? I didn't peg you for a culinarian. How curious!

[He's leaning over to steal a look at those papers. Annoying.]
reloves: (β™₯ well picture this)

[personal profile] reloves 2021-08-02 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
.. oh.

[ That's an initial 'oh'. An 'oh' where Minako still looks like she doesn't fully grasp what's going on here.

But just give her a moment. Her brain is slowly starting to kick into gear, and by the time she lets out the next-- ]


Oh!

[ --she sounds like she's actually understood. ]

Right?! That's so true! People always underestimate us, just because we're young! Good on you for sticking it to the man!
reloves: (β™₯ tomorrow i'll smile again)

[personal profile] reloves 2021-08-03 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
But that's no way to live, is it?

[ Look, Minako is just of the opinion that if there's a sucky kind of authority, then you just got to kick against it until it changes.

It's very efficient. Clearly. ]


Constantly having to follow other people's wishes.
reloves: (β™₯ hold on tightly to these feelings)

[ ... ]

Hourly fee?

[ Hold on, she's considering this. ]

I thought you were a restaurant kind of guy? [ Because, you know. Considering this wording, about wishes being considered for an hourly fee? It almost makes it sound to Minako's - love-addled mind - like a date for hire service or something. ]

[He brightens anyway!]

Ah! I see! A career for the fierce, never underestimate the work that goes into building a restaurant from the ground up!
reloves: (β™₯ and that's no good)

[personal profile] reloves 2021-08-04 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah.. You sure are an enterprising kind of guy.

[ Between having that back home, and now wanting to start a restaurant here! It's almost as if he can't even sit still! ]

Were you doing all of that on the side, while also attending school?! Or did you already graduate before starting it?
reloves: (β™₯ as we shined together)

[personal profile] reloves 2021-08-05 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wait, now he's even a builder on top of it all?! How many jobs or talents exactly does this guy have, Minako wonders.

What an odd person. Not in a bad way, though! Just.. curious! ]


What is Night Raven?

[ Might as well ask that, since it's the one part of what he's saying that she can't figure out by herself. ]

[Alice smiled when she saw Azul and hopped over to him.]

Mr. Ashengrotto! Good morning! [She offered a curtsy in greeting to the tall gentleman and smiled bright and wide.] How do you do? Who is Jade?

An all-boys school?!

[ Minako gasps. ]

You're so lucky! [ Please, that's the sort of thing she could only visit in her dreams! Being surrounded by handsome boys on all sides.. He truly is living the dream. ] So you were carrying out favours for handsome, charming boys all day?!

[ Don't start imagining this as some sort of DL doujin in your head, Minako. ]
