[Open] February Catch-All
🧙 WHO: Nanaki (Red XIII) and YOU!
⚔️️ WHAT: Arriving, getting settled, quests
🕒 WHEN: All throughout February
🗺️ WHERE: Around here and there
⚠️ WARNINGS: None atm, will update accordingly!
Arrival - Caravans
[[At first glance, it might seem as though the strange, lion-like beast is a familiar of some sort. And that would be a fair assessment to make given his animalistic appearance, but for any who are sharing a cart with the beast they’ll see that he, too, has been given the same starting items as everyone else. What's more, he even seems to understand what a phone is! However, he seems to be having a little trouble with the smartphone itself. He prods at the device with his paws, ears flicking in annoyance as he tries to get the little device working with little success. Perched on a railing nearby is a gold-feathered phoenix, who is watching with rapt attention.]
[Eventually, Nanaki sighs, looking at the nearest person with an annoyed look on his face.]
Could I bother you to get some help with this? I’m having a little trouble.
The Red Spring - Training
[If Nanaki is grateful for one thing upon arriving here, it's the promise of a dedicated training ground. Learning how to use the magic of this strange world will definitely be an asset, so Nanaki wastes little time going to check out the training grounds. He's used to magic cast with materia, but Nanaki knows that to thrive in a new environment you have to be adaptable.]
[His phoenix familiar flutters nearby, perched on a nearby perch and watches as Nanaki focuses on following the instructions of the trainers and putting his magic into practice. He’s managed to create a couple small sparks of flame, but they are quick to flicker out. After some practice he huffs, sitting down with a swish of his tail.]
This is a lot harder than it looks…
Camelot - Exploring the City
[Once he's gotten himself settled, Nanaki takes some time to explore the city proper, taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of a new area. A few people look at him strangely, but he seems unbothered by the odd looks; or, at the very least, has made the decision to ignore them for the most part.]
[Still, just because he has made the decision to ignore people's stares doesn't mean others are willing to ignore him. Several times if he approaches a business or pauses to glance around a shop, he'll often be stopped and asked about his bonded partner. It gets to the point where, most of the time, Nanaki's answer is the same deadpan statement.]
I'm afraid you're mistaken. I'm not someone's familiar, I'm a customer. And I need assistance.
Quest - The Libryinth
[Strange how a task such as sneaking into a library after hours can be considered a quest, but Nanaki can't help but be curious as to what he might find. And prowling quietly as he hunts for secrets is a skill he is very adept at, the very notion making his tail twitch in anticipation. A game like this could be fun, and a good test of his skills.]
[Nanaki is able to put his feline grace to use as he quietly prowls the bookshelves, hopping up on top of the shelves with ease. But for how simple he finds it, he can't say it'll be the same for his two-legged partner for the evening. He turns back to who he's with, his lone eye glinting in the dark.]
This will no doubt be difficult. Think you're up to the task?
Wildcard
[Got something you'd like to thread out with Red XIII? Feel free to DM me with an idea or come up with something on the fly!]

[Perhaps that was prying a bit too much, but Nanaki is a curious cat.]
no subject
[ he sure is a curious cat!! but she doesn't seem to mind. ]
It was something like.. a reflection of my own, home world, so it was similar in many ways. More similar than this place.
[ not nearly so many catboys here. ]
no subject
[Bugenhagen was always so knowledgable about the workings of their Planet, Nanaki has no doubt he would have loved the chance to study a brand new one.]
no subject
[ even if she'd not considered it, it seems obvious enough in retrospect. ]
Was your grandfather a scholar?
no subject
[It definitely does feel like it. Even Nanaki can be humbled by that.]
He was. He was the elder of my home, and one of the smartest people I knew. He knew almost anything there was to know about the Planet.
[He still keeps his polite manner of speaking, but his tone seems to shift subtly, like how a child speaks fondly of someone they admire.]
no subject
My grandfather was the same.
[ he was wise and thoughtful in ways that she does not think that she could ever be, but it is inspiring to try. ]
Fortunate for us, I think.
no subject
[He says it with some sorrow in his voice. He misses old Bugenhagen, even if it's been a couple years.]
no subject
[ her grandfather was well able to get along with most people, after all, and he was well loved and respected the realm over.. she cannot imagine he would not get along with a man of similar mind.
anyway, it seems her food is nearly ready! alisaie steps nearer to the window. ]
My name is Alisaie. It's a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
[Ah, and it looks like Nanaki's food is almost ready as well! He moves to prepare to pick it up himself. Someone looks to have had the foresight to put his food into a convenient bag that he can carry in his mouth.]
Thank you for your assistance once again. And the talk after.
no subject
[ if nothing else, the vendors will hopefully begin to recognize him, and remember that he is not, in fact, a familiar. it's the best he can hope for, probably. anyway, alisaie moves to snag her plate, offering him a smile. ]
Take care.
