u know what this is

[tsumtsuki]

[ For Tsumugi, at least, it's been a normal day thus far. With the sun's return and the weather feeling more like summer again, he's spent most of his Moondrop shift behind the cafe counter, taste testing iced coffees and other cold drinks.

It's here that Elsa will find him, slowly sipping his attempt at an iced mocha from a mug - though he sets it down once he notices her. ]

Hello, Elsa-san! [ He smiles, as per usual. ] What would you like today?

I'm sorry in advance

[readytolearn]

[Elsa has had a strange morning. It wasn't awful, just full of Elsa getting distracted by her thoughts. Especially about a certain director.

She had decided to go to the person who seemed closest to Izumi to talk. About some things inside her mind and heart.]

Hey. Could I get a caramel latte and... maybe a chat?

[Yes, she did just order it like an item from the menu 😔]

u better give him a tip for this elsa (no)

[tsumtsuki]

[ Tsumugi doesn't even hesitate. ]

Of course. [ Though there's something about her demeanor that's... maybe not outright concerning, but curious? It seems there's something on her mind. Something important.

Once they're settled in a quiet corner, each with a cup of coffee in hand and a replacement for Tsumugi behind the register, he asks. ] What do you want to talk about?

tips in buying Izumi a lot of flowers later

[readytolearn]

[Why does it always become 1,000 times harder when someone asks what you want to talk about. Maybe she should quickly think of something relating to acting and theatre in general and run with that-

No, Elsa, no. Just go through with this.]

It's about Izumi. I... don't know what to do at this point? I figured since you're close with her, you'd have some insight.

[Nervous butterflies dance around her stomach again.]

I'll say it first, I like her a lot. Not just as a friends. [There she admitted to it!!] By now we've... kissed quite a few times. At first it was for the kissing booth but during the paint section of the ritual to store the sun and moon. I'm sure it was just some magic atmosphere that had her actually go with it and not push me away, but. I'm not sure if I should... talk about it with her? Would it be too awkward to bring up?

ehe

[currysseur]

( Okay, Izumi Tachibana. You can do this. You've helped a theatre survive and pay off a ten million yen debt despite no directing experience. You can do this.

MAYBESHECAN'T. Oh goodness, why is this so scary? Well, if nothing else, at least she can write these flowers off as a job well done in Elsa's first lead role. Never mind that no one else was given flowers from Izumi for doing lead roles, this is totally a believable cover when Elsa inevitably says she just thinks of Izumi as a friend.

The fact that she's wearing a cute, summery dress in a pretty shade of blue is definitely just because it's warm. Sure! That's... believable...

Point is that Izumi is currently knocking on Elsa's door, unannounced, holding a small bouquet of pretty, pastel coloured roses, trying to resist the urge to scarper all the way back to her house. )

[readytolearn]

[Elsa isn't really expecting anyone knocking on the door but she stops brushing her hair when she hears it. She had plans on making a braid, her hair, the ties on her table.

She has a more casual, yet blue dress as she opens the door. There was Izumi, with a boquet of flowers.]

Izumi! Hello. [Wow, she's so cute.] Beautiful flowers... please, do come in.

[currysseur]

Oh! ( h-help. How is Elsa so pretty all the time. There's a nervousness to Izumi's smile, a flush to her cheeks, as she steps in before holding out the roses. )

These. Um. These are for you.

( She's here! She's going to do this! )

Elsa-chan, could we... talk?

[readytolearn]

[For her? Elsa blushes as she takes the roses from Izumi. The pastel colors are beautiful and they smell very nice. That compared to just Izumi looking like she did... this whole situation seemed so dreamy.]

Thank you.

[Though she gets nervous butterflies about "could we talk". What could she mean? She hopes it's... no. She... She shouldn't get her hopes up or assume anything.]

Of course we can. We can talk about anything you want.

Too tall / before event mid-month / OTA

[rustyhonesty]

[After a nice, relaxing honeymoon, Jean is back at Camelot and it's straight back to work for him.

Somehow, during his stay away from Camelot he's grown taller. Now he's at a 190 cm of height. He has bumped into quite a few door frames already since adjusting to being this tall is still taking time. At least he's getting better about it and he has healing magic to heal any bruises he gets.

He's patrolling Camelot on foot a lot. Mostly because he feels like it.

He may also be found from his business, Barkour helping with animals there and watching over things.]

[mayoninofukucho]

[Hijikata runs into Jean on patrol. He's not on shift himself, having dedicated himself to the night patrol, but he's not too busy to walk with him for a while!]

Back at work already? I hope you put that entirely aside while you were gone at least!

[Jean looks good - happy, relaxed, and... is he just standing taller, or did he have a growth spurt?]

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean smiles at Hijikata hen they meet. It's good to see him again, definitely.]

I had other things to think about and do during my time away, plenty to keep my mind occupied. [It was truly the best, relaxing vacation. He feels refreshed and full of energy.]

But someone has to make sure Camelot is safe during the day.

[mayoninofukucho]

Maybe I'll move to the day patrol come October. I haven't decided yet.

[First he needs to see his ghost subordinates off to the afterlife with all the festivities they were bereft of last year, and if shit hits the fan again in that regard any plans he might make now may just be moot.]

Say, what did they feed you on your honeymoon?

[Jean definitely did grow taller!]

[greedyvixen]

[Here's Rin in a store, trying to reach something from a shelf that's a waaaaay taller than her!! Besides the thing, that she wants is ... somewhere further on that shelf??? Why don't people, who work at these places pull shit from far away in the shelf to be on the front, so that customers could easily get whatever they are here for??

Well... Rin would still be too short to reach there but that's stilla very important point!!

And yes, she could use magic. But just because she has kinetic magic and knows how to use it doesn't mean she's going to use it for everything all the damn time!! Except she just might use it soon if she'll be here all alone trying to get that stupid thing from up there--!!]

[rustyhonesty]

[Unfortunately for Rin, Jean doesn't really notice her. Not because she's a lot shorter than him, but just because he's not paying too much attention (but also because she's kinda short-)

It looks like someone tall is taking whatever Rin was reaching for (some really tasty raspberry juice). He's taking it from the shelf and ... then puts it in his own cart and start walking away.]

[greedyvixen]

[Then this random guy walks in and grabs her raspberry juice from there??? Unbelievable!]

Hey, you--!

[Rin turns, uses kinetic magic on the bottle to make it fly (back) to her without even glancing up to see who's trying to take that from her.]

That one's mine.

[And now she looks up to see his face... why is everyone else here so tall???]

@ Taichi

[rustyhonesty]

[Since he experienced a sudden growth spurt, Jean felt like he had to train a bit more to adjust to his height when transforming into different animals. Besides, he still had a long way to go before he was going to master transforming into mythological beings naturally.

It's quiet at the area he's at, so he doesn't think transforming even partially into a dragon would cause much of a scene where he was. For now it was just wings since he needed to see how those worked with his new addition to height. Would the wings adjust themselves or would be need to force them to grow larger now? Things he never thought he needed to think about right there.

His familiar, the Lynx, was chilling nearby and observing the training.]

Jean, Mikasa and the furbabies

[rustyhonesty]

[It was finally time to return to their house after their honeymoon in Fleur. It wasn't too long and Mukuro had taken an excellent care of Snow, Hazel and Sakura while they were away, but they really missed their fluffy family members.

And they missed Jean and Mikasa too, because the moment the door opened there was a chorus on different sounds that would sound like happy barking to anyone who wasn't an animal mage.]

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, they're home! Snow, Sakura, hurry up, they're home!

Siphoning gone wrong - closed to Caster

[saxsongs]

[After the Pirate of the Avalon episode, Ren decides to go for magic training. He's excellent at Healing magic at this point, but he wants to improve on his siphoning one in case he needs it more in the future.

Ren reaches one of the training grounds, looking around to see if there was anyone who could help him.

He notices Caster there as well and approaches her with a charming smile.]

Hello, beautiful lady... would you do me the honor of helping me with magical training?

[colchismagecraft]

[It was habit by now- to travel to the Red Springs and the attached training grounds at the start of the month, just to see who had been brought to Avalon in this month's wave.

In a small hope that her Souichirou could still be brought here.

And if not, she could at least deal with that pain by taking sadistic enjoyment out of watching the unknown newcomers struggle with their magic. Between the pain of her missing fiancé and having to deal with being on a boat again after all this time, Caster was already in a bad mood.

...It was then that an arrogant young pretty boy, just the sort she disliked, decided to come and flirt with her- with a voice that for some reason she couldn't place, really irritated her.]

Hmph. You're awfully bold.

[It seemed she was in the process of weaving curses into a hand-carved, wooden snake head. Perfect opportunity for Siphoning, right...?]

[saxsongs]

I only say what I genuinely think.

[Every female is beautiful to him and Caster is no exception. At least he says "lady" and not "Princess".

Ren gently touches the wooden snake head to draw a bit of the curses there out with siphoning, a smile on his face.]

And I would also be as bold to say that our magic types would be great for joint-practice.
