February Catch all
🧙 WHO: Belgium and Everyone!
⚔️️ WHAT: Valentine's Day stuff, knight quest, Cupid's arrow and so on
đź•’ WHEN: Through February
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot and Ash mountains
⚠️ WARNINGS: Violence of varying degrees, chocolates, and werewolf prompt
I – Chocolate Creations
Valentine’s Day… while not necessarily a recognized holiday in Avalon, it would be awfully boring and depressing of her to miss it (Read: miss out on profits)! It helped that so many others seemed to be really excited over it to. In her kitchens she watched over the progress of the new hires and people that simply wanted to learn how to make chocolates and treats. In between her own projects, of course.
“How’re things coming along for you?” She asked with a bright and cheery smile. Happy to see so many people happily wanting to learn how to bake!
II – Valentine’s Gifts
Belgium wandered around Camelot, boxes of chocolates being carried by her lion familiar in a pack strapped to its back. It was time to give a bit of love herself! The current mission? Handing out chocolates to all her friends! To let them all know that she appreciates them and everything they’ve done. If someone has interacted with her previously they can expect to be given chocolates without any doubt!
Granted that pretty much anyone that strikes up a conversation with her will most likely also be given a piece of chocolate…
Happy Valentine’s Day~!
III – Full Moon [warnings: nudity, potential violence, blood werewolf shenanigans]
[III-A]
The moon hung high and bright in the cold, night sky. She could feel what was going to happen again this month. It was the same as the previous one. That pulse, the ache and pain that was soon replaced with more primal desires. The need to hunt, to run, to enjoy that animalistic pulse of life. She hated it, but also found it to be thrilling in its own way.
It gave her a sense of strength that she had been missing since first arriving in Avalon. The missing piece inside of her where so many others had occupied was swiftly replaced with the howl of a wolf.
Perhaps she should seek out help for it. But the second time around had been a bit easier, the pain of the shift was still there, mixed with the overall fear and uncertainty that came with it. That, and that intoxicating thrill and rush through her body made it all the harder to do.
A large, humanoid wolf now stalked through the night. Just outside of the city. Skirting along Camelot’s walls. Sniffing the air in search of something… of prey… of other wolves… of people…!
[III-B]
The morning after brought it all back to her threefold. The grogginess and general vertigo and aches in her body. She felt… bad. Near hungover and cold from the late winter morning chill. Currently she sat huddled next to a fire she had built near a river. Her clothes were gone, and she was busy rinsing off the grime and… other stuff from the previous night. Some of her features were still feral looking, shaggier hair, sharp teeth and nails, and pointed ears that seemed to twitch at the slightest sound.
At least the chill helped her wake up and deal with any aches she might have sustained. The wounds from the previous few months were largely healed by now, but she noticed a few new ones.
Great.
Belgium rubbed her bare arms with a sigh; wincing ever so slightly at the pound in her head. If this was going to become a regular thing she’d ought to learn how to better deal with the aftereffects. Namely the lack of clothes….

Knight Quest Prompts
For Walter
It was said in a semi-hushed tone as she and her newfound partner watched the group from a distance. She was certain that none of them had picked up on them just yet, which was good because she only had some vague idea on how to handle these things.
Really, Belgium was feeling... apprehensive about taking someone else along with her. Much less somebody who claimed to have fought in the second war. But... he was insistent, and if she was being honest, Anri didn't really want to go by herself. He could handle himself, but so could many others that fought beside her. "There's supposed to be a lot more of them, so let's take this nice and slow to start with."
no subject
"Were there any estimates on the total number of enemies, and what they are capable of?"
Having inserted himself into this quest after Belgium started out, he does not yet know what information she was given during her briefing.
no subject
Not that she's doubting Walter and his abilities, or really anyone's. She just can't really help it. Especially not after that jaunt through the dragon's den.
"We don't have any numbers estimate." Another reason for moving slowly. "The most the reports given to me said was that it was a hoard."
And a hoard could mean a lot of things. She thinks for a moment. "What sort of magic did you have again? And how good are you with ranged weapons?"
no subject
He's been meaning to talk to a certain someone about getting a combat-suitable silver knife made, actually. Tableware does in a pinch, and he makes do, but he'd honestly like something more sturdy on hand.
no subject
Taking her crossbow off her back, she began to get ready. "If we need, I can use my alchemy to create more weapons and ammunition for ourselves."
She gives the ICE a look over once more. "Hm, lets go ahead and pick them off in smaller groups like this one. It might be slower going, but it should make things easier for us and everyone else."
Besides, even with magic it was just the two of them. "Ready then?"
Life sapping my energy lately. Sorry. u_u
Once she readies, Walter follows her lead. Grasping his satchel, he draws it open, using his magic to withdraw a set of fine filaments. The wires glint under the light of the sun, clearly metallic in nature, though fortunately for her, not silver.
"Ready."
Cupid's Arrows Prompts
I!
Now, she hadn’t personally met Belgium before accepting her request to make deliveries, but she quickly took to the kind proprietress once she had. When she’d meekly asked if she could borrow the kitchen, the resounding yes she’d gotten in response had stoked a fire in her heart. And so, here she was, hard at work again today. Dozens of sketches lay spread out across the table of various chocolate creations with fanciful twills and cute decorations. Some even seem to mention using light magic! She looks up with a weary smile at the question.
"Ah, well. I’ve got lots of ideas, but I can’t seem to decide on the right one."
a wild eggplant appears ♥!
"I see, deciding on what you want to do can be the hardest step."
Green eyes look over what sketches she had. They all looked really adorable, and a few seemed really complex! Someone more than just special, is it? The whole thing was really endearing to see and heartwarming to know someone was wanting to go the extra mile. Belgium nodded her head.
"Hm, then... lets start by getting rid of that confectioner's block." She gives the designs a look over again. A cat-like smile growing on her lips. "We'll start off small and simple. Why don't we pick your top three and springboard off of them?"
✨🍆✨
She neatly stacks the other designs and sits them to the side before looking back at Belgium. "I think these three are probably the best."
♥🍆♥~!
"Aw...! It's really cute~!" It was said with a squeal and a giggle as she gives the Fou design a look over. Fou's Founess transcends space and time it seems. She'll have to use her alchemy to make some molds~! "Mm, these will work out just fine to get you started. Why don't we start with the cupcakes first and gradually work our way towards the more complex confections."
🍆 🤝 🇧🇪
Mash seems a little excited about the choice, as though maybe she’d been leaning a little towards that one subconsciously. She’d been studying her light magic lately, after all, and this would be her first practical application of it. A valentine she could only possibly make here… that was something really special, wasn’t it?
"Alright! I’ve got some experience making cakes but I’ve never tried doing spun sugar before."
🍆 + 🧇~
The other girl's enthusiasm is wonderful all the same! Yes, this is what makes Valentine's choco different from the rest. The heart, the enthusiasm and attention put into the confections. All of it to convey one's feelings to another! How heart warming.
"Oh! Spun sugar can look very impressive once it's done, but ultimately, it's not all that difficult. The hard part is in getting it to the shape and design that you want." Speaking of, she'll go ahead and set some materials off to the side for them use to do so! "We can make some for practice after. But for now, one step at a time."
no subject
"Chocolate is traditional, of course, but Senpai gets lots of chocolate every year so maybe I should try to mix in a different flavor for variety...?" She sits down the goods and taps her chin thoughtfully.
no subject
What else, what else. "We can also make some with filling as well."
The filling part would be super fun!
no subject
"Maybe something bright and fruity?"
Sorry about how late this is! ended up getting buried under a mountain stuff
Whoever was getting this was going to be a really lucky duck! "Okay, bright and fruity... well I do have access to strawberry, cherry, lemon, blueberry, raspberry, and apricot."
No worries at all! I’m clearly running behind myself, lol.
"Raspberry! That’ll be perfect!"
Mash nods and exhales, closing her eyes for a moment. Then, a little softer:
"I wonder if my feelings will get through this year." …It’s a tough lot having a crush on an oblivious protagonist.
