SEPTEMBER CATCH-ALL
🧙 WHO: Claude and you!
⚔️️ WHAT: September shenanigans - potion mishaps and pain-tolerant badassery
🕒 WHEN: Throughout the month
🗺️ WHERE: Around Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: CWs for branding and consensual submission for the second and third prompts.
1. POTION DISASTER
[Potions had become something of a side hobby for Claude since he arrived on the island earlier in the year. Much like his fascination with poison back home, he liked experimenting with different ingredients and seeing what kind of -- hopefully non-lethal -- effects he could produce. Who knows when that knowledge could be useful one day? However, without a magical talent for alchemy granted to him on arrival, his actual ability is still... quite some ways away from mastery.
Which is why he has a case full of dud potions he's dutifully carrying back to the nearest apothecary where they can be disposed of responsibly, or, at the very least, salvaged into something usable by someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Should you be unfortunate enough to pass by him, it's at that exact moment that he trips, and he watches in horror as the case upends right out of his hands and sends a potion (or two, or three, or five) crashing into the unfortunate victim, drenching them.]
Gah--! I'm so sorry! Let me help--!
[Feel free to choose whatever disastrous effect you want the potion to have, or RNG something from this list. Just keep in mind Claude hasn't mastered potion-brewing so the effects are going to skew negative or just plain weird from his mess-ups.]
2. THE PAIN-TOLERANT BADASS (cw: branding)
[Having gotten wind of preparations for the autumn equinox, and being well aware of what nasty repercussions could happen when spirits are allowed to move about unchecked in Avalon, Claude decided it was best to help pitch in and take on one of the spirit guardians. He's not sure he trusts the entire process, honestly, but the locals seem to swear by it, and the costs of not having enough volunteers probably outweigh the risks of helping.
Which is why Claude is stripped down to the waist, sitting on a block of obsidian and eyeing up a potential volunteer to help with the preparations.]
Are you sure you want to do this? I may be gorgeous, but this won't be pretty.
3. THE CARING BADASS (cw: consensual submission)
[For anyone who wants to volunteer to take care of Claude! As this will vary according to CR, feel free to write your own starter or comment and I'll write a personalised starter. Claude will only agree to this with people he has preexisting CR with and who he trusts; feel free to hit me up via PM/moonsilver#4734/![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[See, he was trying to be a little responsible! Kind of. Noting the street name and surrounding buildings so he can direct someone to help clean up the mess he left behind, he starts towards his destination once more.] We'll go together, then. How have your potions been coming along?
no subject
Just fine, I think! I can follow any formula given to me. I wouldn't call my progress exciting, but certainly steady. [In comparison to Claude's batch of wacky experiments, Rinea's attempts have leaned very conservative.]
I have only successfully invented one recipe, myself. But the militia seems to appreciate it, so it feels worthwhile to make them...
no subject
So what did you make that they like so much? Healing potions? Stamina boosters?
no subject
I was also just asked to create protection against the dead. Which will be... a bit more frightening to test, I think. Hmm...
[She pulls a face as that last sentence dawns on her. oh boy. Does she have to annoy some ghosts in her trial and error?!?!?!?!?]
