Archer (EMIYA)

[unknowntodeath]

Pokeball prompt

[unknowntodeath]

[There seems to be a mysterious black ball left outside with a button in the middle.

Occasionally it moves a little.

Press the button?]

Magic Mayhem 🗡️ Dark Web Quest (cw: blood magic)

[unknowntodeath]

[Normally, Archer would use his powers less thanks to knowing they're out of control, but since a dark web quest kindly asked him to do otherwise for great money income... why not. He'd just have to make sure he doesn't injure or kill anyone.

Good thing he always carries something with him to cause himself to bleed. He pricks his finger with a knife he carries with him (for self-defense) and then looks like he's reaching out to help someone carrying a bunch of boxes when he accidentally instead makes the boxes fly due to hitting them with a sword made of blood.]

Oh, sorry, I didn't know I had a wound...

[And while moving away from the angry person he "accidentally" hits something else with the same sword to cause more chaos.

Watch out for those barrels possibly heading your way.]

[lovesopendoors]

[Anna's just walking around on her way somewhere, when suddenly those barrels are heading towards-- her!! Oh oh, oh no!

Right, okay okay, she'll try to stay calm. She is calm!! She has elemental magic, she has seen Elsa's ice walls so many times and she's had dreams of making them herself too way before she even arrived to Avalon or before they knew why Elsa has her powers back home...

Cool cool, so barrels rolling towards her? No problem at all, surely! She's trying to make an ice wall or ice walls to stop them but since magic is acting weirdly, and she forgets that all the time, she accidentally makes a lot of wind with air magic instead...

Which, okay, those barrels stop coming towards her but now they are flying everywhere around her because there's so much wind!!]

Sorry, sorry, not my intention-- Everyone, watch out!!

Bar Brawl (Backdated to December) (Closed to Rin)

[unknowntodeath]

(December quests)

[It's not often Archer takes Rin out drinking, but after the promise of a quality place (it was half-decent), he somehow managed to get her to join him. Besides, all drinks were on him - how could she refuse.

Archer kept an eye on their surroundings as they drank, not wanting to miss the Sylph that was their actual target. Not that Rin knew this was a dark web thing. At least he never said it was. It would just be a bar fight.]

[greedyvixen]

[It's not like Rin doesn't go to night clubs! She does, she doesn't do that as often as she did back in Lunatia because she doesn't even want that kind of a party life here, where she's happier than there...!

But then Archer invited her on a date with him somewhere, he even said all drinks would be on him and of course Rin absolutely couldn't refuse! Even if it's kind of weird, that he'd ask her on a date like this, isn't it usually Rin, who tries to get him out more???? To those clubs or wherever Camelot's night life happens like some of the monthly happenings...

She hasn't even been drinking that much, but she sure has been drinking a lot of strong stuff without even knowing it. Though now she's looking at Archer like maybe she's annoyed about... Something... Not that it will surprise anyone.]

You brought me to a tavern???!

[Yes hi, she likes night clubs and other places, where young women go to party. Taverns and some bars are not her style, of course she'd find something to complain about now when she's drunk.]

Elsa

[readytolearn]

A feeling too familiar

[readytolearn]

[Elsa hadn't used her either of her magic much since the siege, but she wanted to keep up with he training. That's why she was outside of Camelot, since most of the training grounds were out of commission.

Immediately she noticed something was off. Her secondary magic came out in bursts of ice, covering random places in ice and water and much like before her feelings reacted to her magic. Specifically the elemental magic she just used. So instead of calming down the ice continued to form around her.]

No no no... stop! Not again!

[However, the fire she tried to use to melt the ice also came out as ice instead even if she has used fire before this. She felt her panic rising and when she noticed someone close by she yelled.]

Don't come any closer! I can't control it.

[lovesopendoors]

[Anna knows where Elsa is so of course she's there too -- or at least she arrives a little later after she stops talking to whoever she met on their way there.

She gasps and stops to stare at the sight of her sister and her sudden, out of control ice powers for a moment because yeah, it absolutely makes her think way back into their time back home. And she looks and sounds so scared, again, so of course Anna's instantly worried about her and not at all worried about whatever happens if she rushes there to be with her. Because for the first or second or third or whatever time in forever, she's right here for her big sister.]

ELSA!

[Sorry, Elsa, you know your little sister is NOT going to stay away from you. Nope. She's running over there, dodging all the ice as well as she can and she'll at least... Try to hug her.]

Acting practice

[readytolearn]

[Since she decided to ban herself from using magic for the rest of the month, Elsa is focusing on something else entirely. That was acting and reading different plays and tips on how to express yourself. She did join Kaika Theatre recently, so at least she has something else to focus on for a while.

Perhaps she's sitting at a random cafe with a play script and a book on acting and a nice hot cocoa to the side.

She may also be at the library with said books.

Or outside, practicing poses and expressions. That's also a possibility.]

[schmisse]

[ Weiss only dabbled a bit in theater when she was in another world. While it was her first time acting then, she took the stage many times and actually gained quite a number of fans! That was a year or so ago, though. She's only starting to go back to making music here, and she hasn't done any acting. Still, she doesn't think she's disqualified from commenting. ]

Hi, would you mind if I sit with you?

[ The cafe is full, and Elsa's table is the only one who's got a vacant seat. ]

Maybe I can give some pointers if you're just starting out.

Jean Kirstein

[rustyhonesty]

post-event talks (Closed to Mikasa)

[rustyhonesty]

[After returning home from Queen Mab's cavern and resting for a good moment, it was time to talk about what went on in the dreams. About who they saw, what they learned. They had opted out of talking until they'd rested first since it was a lot of emotional weight.]

Do you want to hear about my nightmare or what me and Marco talked about first? Because I'm definitely leaving the desires to last.

[Not that his desires should be very secret to Mikasa for now, but it would still be a fun thing to talk about. Unlike what he saw in the nightmares or what Marco told him about... the truth.]

[callyourname]

[All of that rest was great and also greatly needed after all of that. She's still cuddling with him a lot but at least she's as ready as she'll ever be to talk now.]

Nightmare first.

[She wraps her arm(s) around him. She's here, he's safe and she will fiercely protect him from anyone and anything.

Also, yes, she will gladly hear desires last.]

Mamoru Chiba

[reincarnatedprince]

Garden shopping

[reincarnatedprince]

[It was going to be the season plant things soon, so Mamoru was busy shopping for seeds and seedlings for the garden of their house. There were plenty of things he could grow with his Green magic, but he also wanted to grow things the old fashioned way when he could and help the garden with his green magic instead.

He should definitely at least get some herbs and medical plants, which is the department he was currently at. He had a cart filled with things already... he wondered how well he'd be able to take them home... well he'd cross that bridge when he got there.]

[tsumtsuki]

[ Unsurprisingly, Tsumugi feels similarly. He'd like to think he has a good grasp on his green magic now, between tending to Kaika's flower beds and his shelves of succulents in his room, but, well... this is what he knows best. Starting with a seedling and nurturing it, like a parent would a child.

And now with his own personal garden, he's excited to really spread his wings when it comes to his planting. Though his cart's fairly full as is, he heads into the next section of the store, the herbs and medicinal plants department, with as much curiosity as the last. ]

Oh- Mamoru-kun! [ It was only a matter of time, he figured, before he ran into a familiar face. He smiles warmly and makes his way to him. ] Has anything caught your eye?

Gardening

[reincarnatedprince]

[It may have not been the greatest idea to start planting things when you magic isn't working well. Now he had some of his classic dancing roses and there were also random vines growing on the wall of his house.]

Is this how this day is going to be? It's going to be a long one at this rate.

[But he would still continue... with less magic.]

Ren Jinguji

[saxsongs]

Sleepovers (Closed to CR)

[saxsongs]

[Since the beginning of the month Ren's been living on his own at his castle. While the castle wasn't as big as King Arthur's it was still large for one person. So what's his solution? Invite friends over, of course.

There are rooms that are off-limits as they're either Camus', Kitsuno's or the trio's shared one, but there are still nice amount rooms available. Not to mention the living room area is spacious and comfortable to hang out in. Perfect for hanging out.

Ren even has set game console with some hit games like Mario Party and Mario Kart playable ... and different movies, too. And snacks.]

Thanks for accepting my invite. We can go to the spa later ... or some other kind of relaxation, since there are plenty to choose from.


[He does have an eyepatch, but he's hopefully explained what happened by now (he was injured in the Heist last month) ... or is willing to explain it now, too.]

[phoenixwiz]

(While he is not in the know about the relationships of the people he has met in Avalon (mostly because he is pretty busy with work and too wound up in his feelings for Ginny), but Harry didn’t mind dropping by and spend a night over at Ren’s castle when he got the invitation.

He hasn’t been there before and, of course, he really wants to get away from the stress the siege has left behind on top of the usual stresses from barista work, so a sleepover is definitely quite welcoming. So he shows up at the castle with a rucksack at hand and Rose and Hedwig joining in the fun: it was Rose’s idea for her and the owl to tag along with their master.)

That is really welcoming. After all, I have been working so hard with my job, that I wouldn’t mind taking some time off to relax.

[prismatically]

I'm heeeeere!

[ Yep... that's Stella alright. She's pretty much already sleepover ready, with her hair scraped back into a messy bun and dressed to the nines in... an oversized shirt and some leggings. If they're planning to just chill, she wants to be comfy!

She makes a beeline for Ren as soon as she arrives and immediately holds out a box for him to take that's, uh, pretty weighty?! ]

I stopped by my fave bakery before getting here and grabbed some stuff! I didn't know what everybody'd want so I got cupcakes, donuts, the works!

I'm sorry I just found this tab!

[nightwriter]

You're welcome. I'm happy we can spend more time together.

[When Tsuzuru received the invitation he didn't turn it down. However, he was a little concerned when he saw Ren's eye patch. He hoped that he wasn't hurt too bad, though he would ask him a little later.]

You know the spa sounds like a great idea, but how about we watch a movie first? That sounds like it would be a good way to relax.

Closed to Kitsuno

[saxsongs]

[After receiving Kitsuno's latest letter and noticing the marks left by her tears, Ren knew he had to go see her right away.

He pets and thanks Mitsu from bringing him the letter once again, reassuring he would be there for Kitsuno as soon as possible, even offering to carry the little fox with him.

Ren takes the fastest route possible, not wanting any time on his way there and once outside her door he gently knocks it.]

My love? Please... open your door.

[foxtouched]

[ She hadn't meant to cry. She hardly if ever did- the last time she cried was so long ago she didn't even remember it.

But she hasn't been this isolated in so long that it has affected her, and the letters can only do so much for her with her beloveds. Though she's had enough time to think over things, and how she wants to progress...

And she hasn't liked Ren being so angry or hurt.

Strange, feeling so deeply for mortals this way, and yet-

She gasps when she hears the knock, and... oh. He's really here.

She practically flies to the door, opening it- and Mitsu jumps out of his arms in time for her to take Ren by his hands and tug him in, with a bit more strength than she'd have otherwise. Enough to push her face in his chest and arms around his back as she clutches him, not caring if she feels more from her powers than she should, her voice shaking. ]

F-forgive me... I worried you, but it was... it was so lonely, my Ren. I missed you so much.



[ She doesn't usually express her feelings this openly either, so the fact that she is does indicate how much she didn't like being apart or alone. ]

I know, I know you weren't upset with me but... I'm sorry....
