WHEN:   feb catch-all;

WARNINGS: none so far

Quest: Sashimi Slayer
[ With blade in hand, he remains poised to strike. Turning to you, he nods once and motions to the sushi-beast. ] Let us be done with this.


Cupid's Arrow Beta Testing - Part II
[ Last year's "beta testing" had been a terrible experience, but does that stop him from being affected by it? Absolutely not. Unfortunately for Somnus, he's been struck by an arrow by a particularly pushy vendor of the things, that of the courageous variety. Anyone who knows Somnus may know him to have a rather taciturn nature. Because of these arrows, today that is not the case.

Regardless if you do know him or not, he'll be standing outside at the market, looking over one of the vendor's wares. Without so much as anyone prompting him, he'll be the one to strike up a conversation first, opining: ]
This would make a fine gift for my grandson.

[ It's a red, silken scarf with two fish embroidered on one of its edges. Also, it's okay, his opinion can be absolutely wrong. Still dressed in robes of antiquity, Somnus is nowhere near being a fashionista, and his great-great-greatnth-grandson  has infinite more drip. Aware that he is enchanted, and the words spoken unnecessary, Somnus frowns and turns his head. ]


[Closed to Ardyn]
This is true: Ardyn and Somnus have always been and will always be brothers. This is also true: Somnus has been a terrible brother.

The spell under which he finds himself this day makes it so that his terrible fraternity is something that will no longer be tolerated. And so, he begins with sending a message to the other:

th is ardyn ?

this is
[ And that's it, the message seems to have been cut out. ]

Cupid's Arrow Beta Testing - Part II

[Hijikata is having a stressful month, constantly having to watch out for people wanting to avenge a certain noblewoman he gravely offended with his actions... so when he sees Somnus on the market it's a relief. The stern man is one of the few who surely wouldn't turn on him to carry out someone else's revenge! He walks up to him and can't help but smile when he sees the cute scarf.]

You have a grandson? How old is he?

[Probably still a young child, given the motif!]

[While he doesn't entirely get the Valentine's thing himself (it seems silly to have one day be special. There should be more for loved ones), he can't very well pass up another chance to gift Garnet with something. Especially after last month things... ahem, moving on, shopping! He is shopping now for something that would be a cute Valentine's Day gift.]

[Only, he thinks he heard Somnus? But it couldn't, Somnus isn't so boisterous, and yet, turning his head... it's Somnus. Holding a red scarf with cartoon fishes.]


... Oh yeah? Who's your grandson?

[He already knows (he thinks), but they hadn't talked about it. And if it is, he might wanna... well, no, he probably could get him to wear it once.]

Quest: Sashimi Slayer

[Meanwhile, Kotarou had his light sword glowing in hand. It was one thing to be fighting a monster made of sushi, but Kotarou couldn't help and look at this man who was taking this whole thing 100% seriously. Honestly, he's not sure which one was the weird one here. He felt that one of them should be making a comment about the absurdity here.]

Uhhhh... Excuse me. Just to double check everything before we get this battle started... We are fighting a freakin' sushi monster, right?

[personal profile] tantailizing 2022-02-09 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? I've met quite a few people since I've been here.

[Should he stop him? Thinking about that guy in the scarf is hilarious... he almost wants to let Somnus buy it.]

Really? But if he was here, you'd get to have some quality time together.
tantailizing: Dissidia (It calls me)

[personal profile] tantailizing 2022-02-09 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

Noctis, right? He was pretty cool when we talked. Though, it was during that Tournament before Celliwig was destroyed.
tantailizing: Dissidia (Oh come on!)

[personal profile] tantailizing 2022-02-09 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I figured. But it didn't really come up in conversation so I didn't mention.

[He shrugs.]
scriptwriter: (Running of the bulls.)

[personal profile] scriptwriter 2022-02-09 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa! Thanks for stating the obvious!

[Kotarou rebukes by rolling out of the way and he leaps in to strike at the monster's torso. Unfortunately, it blocks him with one of it's swords. Gritting his teeth, Kotarou leaps back.]

Four swords?! Do you know how bulllshit that is!?
mayoninofukucho: (New Hope)

[Hijikata is used to people throwing their unsolicited opinions around all day at home, so he doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary here.]

Right, your birds of prey..! Did your owl deliver my present to you the other month?

[He didn't communicate with Somnus ever since his owl brought him unexpected presents for the winter solstice, so he can only hope that it carried the Counter Curse potion to its owner safely.]
tantailizing: Dissidia Official Work (Hehe~)

[personal profile] tantailizing 2022-02-10 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to thank me for that. If he showed up again for some reason, I'd talk to him all over again. Oh, and you'll have to see him too.

[Actually, Somnus better talk to his grandson.]

But I guess that's why you were looking at the fish scarf.
scriptwriter: (We've stepped into a battle manga.)

[personal profile] scriptwriter 2022-02-10 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He couldn't help and squint at Somnus's grandstanding here! Was he trying to 1-up him by doing this like breathing!? Kotarou felt that he was working hard, but Somnus was making his efforts look like nothing!]

I don't know what ticks me off more. The fact that you seem to know kinetic magic or how casually you boss me around-- Whoa!

[The sushi-monster takes that chance to strike at Kotarou again. He decides to block it with his light sword. Pulling one hand away from the sword, he takes a second to generate a second light sword and swings it upward to cut off one of its incoming arms that was planning to strike him. The arm falls to the ground as the sushi-monster lets out a cry.]

Yes! Critical hit!
mayoninofukucho: (Idle)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-02-10 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
You can say that again. I honestly hope you won't need it, but...

[He trails off, the rest being a given. He starts to wonder how he should broach the topic of still not being completely sure how to even use the presents he received from Somnus - but he also remembers that he can't let his guard down too much while chatting with him, so he quickly glances around to ensure that nobody is sneaking up on him with a spell at the ready or anything.]

Where was I... ah, right - so the one thing you gave me is a wax seal stamp, isn't it?
mayoninofukucho: (Routine)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2022-02-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
No. Just...

[He lights himself a cigarette. He's been through far grittier stuff than being targeted for a mortifying dress-up photoshoot, but what gets under his skin is the fact that many decent people seem to side with his opposition on the matter. He should probably think more deeply on that, but right now he's unwilling to consider the implications.]

Busy days, you know? There's always some new mess to clean up.

[Thankfully Somnus is terminally offline, so he's just about the last person to have seen the call-out post.]

Enjoys fishing huh? Does that run in the familiar?

[He grins.]

That's true... well, you can either get it and hold onto it in case, or learn to make something like it if he shows up. A handmade gift from his grandpa would be pretty cool.
