OTA | September Catch-All
🧙 WHO: Gokudera and YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: Birthday stuff/ Open and closed prompts/ Catch-all for September
🕒 WHEN: Throughout September
🗺️ WHERE: Various
⚠️ WARNINGS: foul language; mentions of murder; will update as necessary
A. A boy and his leopard
Gokudera doesn't let Uri out very often. For starters, the teenager does not have animal magic and can't tell when his weapon-turned-pet is feeling any sort of way. The young adult leopard is well-fed, growls a lot, and stalks about in his attic apartment, climbing the indoor tree, but he won't deny it freedom. He could put a leash on Uri, but that doesn't seem right. Maybe because he has a collar about his own neck, and this animal is not just some house cat. Uri is... or was an extension of his spirit. To have the Storm Leopard now just a leopard feels unfair. Their connection is lost, and he won't demand the creature stay inside.
Uri hesitates to leave the apartment at first when he welcomes the cat outside, but once he coaxes the cat out, it's staying close, hunkering down, and growling at anyone they pass.
He can be seen walking down the streets of New Camelot with the leopard sticking to his side. Once they are out on the training grounds, Gokudera is sitting down with the big cat, trying to talk with it.
"I hid some food out here for you earlier. You want to find it and take it home to your tree, or should we look for a new tree out here?"
The leopard licks at its paw and gives a rumbling purr before rolling about.
"Uri, you can nap when we get back home. You're supposed to have fun out here..." He pleads, looking apologetic. The leopard doesn't seem upset, though, and gets up before jumping at his back and pinning him down. It's licking at the back of his head, and he's letting out a muffled, distressed yell. That tongue is rough and his neck is sensitive. To anyone who knows anything about his problems with his collar, they can probably tell that this activity probably isn't pleasant for him.
B. Wild accusations | TL;DR Gokudera is accused of being a Selkie
[Gokudera is talking to a man at the Lake, and there seems to be an argument. It seems the boy is arguing that he saved a selkie woman and the man is accusing him of murdering a fisherman who had trapped her.
Aggravated, the boy throws his hands up and turns. He stares out at the water and then stops talking and just walks into the water, further and further in. A few bubbles rise to the surface, then abruptly stop. Five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen. The boy does not come up, there's no sign of him.
But the real Gokudera is looking for anything that may have been left behind by the selkie he and Yamamoto saved some months ago. The late fisherman's house seems in a state of disrepair, relatively vandalized, but still standing and sturdy.
He leaves carefully and quietly with a bag of fabrics, his old bloodied clothes he'd hidden from before. It'd be a sneaky escape, but the man he'd fooled turns and catches him. He's accusing Gokudera of all sorts of things, and then backing the boy into the water of the lake. Gokudera turns and dives in, swimming off as far as he can go until his familiar cloaks him.]
If I ever see you again, I'm taking your skin!
[Gokudera can hear that angered yell over the water and he can be found later on bobbing about in the water. Try to convince him to come out? Ask him what happened? Swim right up to him? The weather isn't cold enough for the water to be too unpleasant, and the angry man is leaving so maybe the boy will get out of the water. He's going to take out his device and ask for help.]
What should I do to prove I'm not a selkie?
[Feel free to put up your own prompt. Also! Prose/brackets are fine! I'll match whichever]

no subject
[He says so with a mocking sort of chuckle.]
Maybe you could have a greenhouse connected to a small home, then she can help you create a safe garden! You could contribute ingredients to alchemists!
[Uh-oh now he's getting excited too!]
no subject
[cautiously, at Gokudera’s suggestion]
I- I could do that.
[of course he is well aware that he can grow plants and herbs with function, not just the lovely flowers he helps cultivate and arrange for display. The idea he might be able to contribute something that might be of use…]
I mean, if they are in such demand-- I can certainly try?
no subject
[Gokudera's understating it. It gets cold in his attic apartment... colder than anywhere else in the building.]
You should do that.
no subject
[or has he misunderstood? A little nod with Gokudera's encouragement, though]
All right-- I shall try it. It will be a fun diversion for me if nothing else.
no subject
It doesn't grow through the skylight, just kind of fans out a bit, and I have to cut the branches back.
