[open] february catch-all
Who: Nero and you
What: Cupid arrow effects, syncing magic, and other awkward mishaps
When: Throughout February
Where: Camelot
Warnings: Nero being a gross simp??? look I warned you okay
1. Cupid's Arrow Beta Testing (Quest)
[After being struck with an unfortunate experimental arrow, Nero has been acting a little... off. Not that he's noticed it himself, but the arrow has proven perhaps a little too effective, and he's either falling in love with anyone he lays eyes on, or -- if the feelings are more platonic -- decidedly more affectionate around them than usual.
One of the ways this manifests is Nero following your character around while trying to be subtle about it. In reality, he's more like a puppy starved for attention. Maybe it's little things like offering to carry your shopping or training equipment like a gentleman-- "Hey, is that heavy? Let me help." Or maybe he's very awkwardly approaching and starting up small talk about how much the rain sucks, while shyly avoiding eye contact, because oh no he's gotten the attention of the person he likes. Maybe you're doing a quest, and he swoops in to the rescue! Even if you didn't need rescuing, it looked like you were in danger! He's here to help!!!
Whatever scenario you choose, he is here, and he is ready to simp. Sorry about that.]
2. Sync or Swim
a. [Nero had good intentions to put in some serious magic practice, but it's taken so long for a partner to show up that he's a little too relaxed in one of the meditation tents set up. Whoever walks in will find him sprawled out and apparently dozing with an arm across his face, listening to some mellow beats (even if the lyrics are... not so much?). When he hears someone enter he rolls over and cracks open an eye, squinting.]
...Come on, can't a guy nap in peace?
[Was napping the real plan all along? Who knows.]
b. [After the syncing is finished, Nero parks himself by the bonfire. He's both officially done with all the touchy-feely happenings this month, but he also can't get rid of the nagging feeling of loss that's been bothering him since the synchronised spellcasting ended. It's both depressing and annoying in equal measure.]
What a pain in the ass. [He mutters to himself. It's tempting to get up and leave instead of just sitting around feeling sorry for himself, but he's stuck here at least until his shadow comes back.]
[If you'd like to hash out any specifics for the first prompt, hit me up at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
moonsilver or via PM! As mentioned in the prompt, it can be romantic or platonic affection if you have a preference either way. For the second prompt, I'm happy for the syncing to fail or succeed either way depending on the CR!]

[He gets to his feet, surveying the markings on the floor meant to indicate the steps they're supposed to follow. He doesn't really mind, even if it'll look a little stupid, but he has no idea how Kate and dancing mix.]
Ready when you are.
no subject
... Fine. ( the dancing won't be a problem for her but she's not sure he's capable of following directions. )
