you go ahead and dance, I'll just sit (August stuff)

🧙 WHO: Shinji and whoever!
⚔️️ WHAT: Don't Treep quest, SEES House shenanigans, some asshole completely forgetting his own birthday is a thing.
🕒 WHEN: early August
🗺️ WHERE: farms, SEES House
⚠️ WARNINGS: none anticipated


A. Don't Treep, Man (OTA)

Shinji can't, as a general rule, be bothered with the quest board. He's tired, okay. He was tired before he got here. Frankly, he was burnt out before he got to Liminal Space.

(He'd say the animal-parts curse didn't stick on him because he has built-in magic resistance, but he's honestly not sure if that's the case anymore or not.)

But. Tell him there's danger of a food shortage and he will do anything in his power to fucking well make sure there's not one. He's done his time with little to no food available, and he's not about to let it happen again.

He's on-site more than once in the time it takes to get the farms back to rights. Sometimes he's helping with the heavy lifting; others, he just shows up with some food for the people doing the heavy lifting to eat.

B. SEES House (closed to people who'd plausibly be there)

It's kinda weird, actually living with people from the dorm again.

In Liminal Space, Minako had her own room, Shinji didn't even live in his since Helena gave him a bed first and it would've been weird, and no one else from SEES overlapped with him. Not long enough to actually need a place to stay, anyway.

It's a good weird, but it's still kinda weird. In any case, it's no one he minds bothering him, if he's there to be bothered, and if nothing else he's bound to make sure everyone has dinner.

C. Some dipshit completely forgot about his birthday (closed to close CR)

It's August. Shinji's birthday is the 11th.

He hasn't thought about that fact at all, between his abysmal self-esteem and Liminal Space's general lack of... well, coherent time, really. Between-jaunts time was guesswork at best, and the jaunts themselves tended to have very weird calendars if they weren't on alternate Earths (and sometimes if they were).

If anything's gonna happen, it'll be up to his friends and acquaintances to make it happen. Mitsuru might be the only person here who even knows when Shinji's birthday is.

(OOC: Basically, a place for a partything to be plopped, if a partything is to be had. ICly, Shinji won't be remotely bothered if there isn't one; OOC, I won't either, since I only thought of this myself on Sunday. XD)

D. Kotone's the Wild Card here-- I mean, what?

[None of those appeal? Feel free to hit me with something else! Shinji works in the kitchen at the karaoke bar, and can occasionally be found Just Chillin' in other places.]

"I can't oversee everything everyone is doing! This- that's too much work for one person!" He at least needs help getting the message out there.

"Yeah and if you have a pixie curse you so that you can't even walk forward, how are you supposed to help prevent a food shortage, huh?" He likes the fae creatures in this world, even if the pixies can be a real nuisance. They are a necessary part of how this world operates... as much as everyone is in their own right.

“…” He settles a very annoyed little glare for those words. This guy doesn’t want to help, so Gokudera will take it upon himself to annoy the crap out of him.

“They also like sweets. You wouldn’t happen to have any, would you?”
bakudan_bambino: (self worth)

"Is it sweet?" Will the pixies like it?

Gokudera reaches into a bag he brought and pulls out what looks like a toy plesiosaurus and sets it down. It moves a bit, sliding towards the pixie nest and slapping its little plastic flippers against the ground.

"Alright I'll give them some from you so that you won't be cursed."

And he walks right up, holding out a tiny orange soul-o cup about the size of a shot glass. Gokudera doesn't have anything smaller, and it's not really the right time of year to find acorn tops to use in place of cups.
bakudan_bambino: (say what)

"Very." He says, sounding relieved. It's hot out and they've been working hard. Gokudera's goat legs aren't very strong, and so maybe he's not cut out for helping lift as many large things. Honestly, he should probably be cleaning up a bit more and maintaining barriers about the pixie nests to keep people safe. It's either that, or he'll be following Shiro around.
