🧙 WHO: Akira and you!
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-all log (quests, tdm & misc prompts)
🕒 WHEN: Throughout March
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: N/A

( I: Sir Fuzzlerton the Cad 🛡️ )

[ Akira's never seen so many bunny cafes in one place, not even in Tokyo. The search for Sir Fuzzleton, the fluffy Casanova continues and it doesn't look like it's going to conclude anytime soon. At least, Akira's not alone—looking for a very affectionate bunny is much more fun done in pairs.

He enters another bunny cafe with the person he's teamed up with and looks around, keeping his phone in his hand to peek at the screen with a picture of Sir Fuzzlerton to compare it with the bunnies hopping around the tables. ]

I wonder what kind of freebie we're gonna get this time. [ The previous cafe was really generous and gave out tumblers. ] Oh, here it is.

[ Someone from the staff walks up to them with two bunny hats before guiding them to a free table. ]

Maybe it'll help us find Sir Fuzzlerton.

[ He's not entirely serious but it would make things much easier. ]

( II: Magical smoothies )

A.
[ Every now and then, Akira used to get a special smoothie sold only on Sundays on Shibuya station. The one's sold here look really good and he feels like trying some of them on a whim. What he doesn't realize is that there's a small text under each flavor.

Well, these smoothies definitely won't raise any social stats.

Drinking a Strawberry-Rose smoothie will make him very flirty. While it's not due to the drink, he might go wild with the puns. ]

I'm very smooth now. Do you know why?

B.
[ Alternatively, someone might bump into him after getting a Butterfly Pea-Lemon Tea smoothie. If that's the case, Akira will be found sitting in a lotus position with his eyes closed. Is he meditating or sleeping? There's no telling without poking him. ]

Where's... [ A pause. ] The nut in donut?

[ He's either entered the path of enlightenment or is mumbling in his sleep. The latter sounds way more probably, though. ]

( III: Brewery )

[ Although Akira is still too young to drink, applying magic while preparing food or drinks is something he's been curious about for quite a while. If it turns out okay, he can always give it to someone who actually can drink so it doesn't go to waste. ]

Do you want to pair up? [ It's possible to make a drink following the recipe alone but the more the merrier. ] I wonder if this can be used for other drinks.

[ Yes, he has magical latte art in mind. ]

( IV: Familiar bonding )

[ Akira and Cat Sidhe started off on the wrong foot; his familiar is a proud one, so getting compared to a cat didn't help. Not to mention that Akira's spent over a year carrying a cat friend in his bag. Perhaps it's not too surprising that he projected some of the feelings on the familiar but it took him a while to realize.

To make up for it, he takes Cat Sidhe to a beauty spa in the Red Spring. If someone happens to be there as well, they might see a boy and a catlike familiar chilling together. ]

Is someone here?

[ It's hard to tell with slices of cucumber on his eyes

Wanna join us?

( Wildcard )

[ If you'd like to do something else then go ahead! I'm also down for writing custom starters if anyone's interested—just leave me a comment here or hit me up via PM or at koohii ]

Comments

[divinereaper]

[ Naoto groans. He saw it coming but that doesn't stop it from being bad.

But when Akira calls him strong guy, he can't help but wince. ] You're still on that...? I said I'm sorry!

[fooligans]

On what? [ It takes a while to click. ] Oh, that.

[ Akira waves his hand and flashes Naoto a smile. ]

If you're really sorry, you should drink a smoothie with me.

[ Oh no. ]

[divinereaper]

[ A slight narrowing of the eyes. HM. He knew this tactic well. Raquel pulled it against him way too often. ]

Depends. What flavors they got?

[ A chance to buy time—he’s noticing the effects on Akira first and foremost. He didn’t want a repeat bonbon incident. ]

[fooligans]

[ I can't believe Akira is Raquel. ]

Strawberry-Rose is reaaaally good. [ Of course he suggests that one. ] But I think you might like Lavender-Mulberry, too.

[ Akira really shouldn't eat magical food so often, huh!! ]

I hope you're not playing hard to get.

[ Oh boy. ]

[divinereaper]

Don't like the taste of strawberries or lavender. So those are a no-go.

[ And then came the last comment. Naoto had to fight the blush on his face. ]

I am not! I'm just picky!

[fooligans]

So, you're saying that I don't meet your standards?

[ You know what, he might as well get direct. Thanks, Strawberry-Rose. ]

That hurt.

[divinereaper]

That's not what I meant and you know it!

[ His blush was bright. He was digging his own grave at this point. ]

How about you just treat me to food. Simple.

[fooligans]

I don't know anymore.

[ He's doing it on purpose. Akira props his head with his hand and looks away. ]

Shouldn't you be the one treating me? For playing hard to get.

[divinereaper]

You're the one who offered first.

[ He sighs. ] Either something is in that smoothie or you're drunk. And given I don't know the legal drinking age here in Avalon, I'm guessing it's the smoothie. So no thank you.

[ Because Naoto knows that no sane person would try to flirt with him! ]

[fooligans]

[ Naoto...that's sad... ]

Oh, well. You can drink mine, then. If you know what that means.

[ His eyebrows wiggle in a funny way while saying that. That's his idea of explaining what indirect kiss is, apparently. ]

[divinereaper]

..... Akira. No.

[ His face was red. He is not falling for that trick. ]

I'll just get my own thank you very much. [ And he stands up to do so. ]

[fooligans]

Just make sure to get back here to keep me company once you get one.

[ Akira winks at him and honestly that might be his worst attempt at being flirty today. Sorry, Naoto... ]

[divinereaper]

Right........

[ Naoto tries to fight his blush. He hates being around cute people sometimes, especially when cute people try bad flirting. It was so hard not to just punch them!

He makes his way back with a Butterfly Pea-Lemon Tea smoothie instead. ]

Ok, did you do anything while I was gone? [ You never know!! ]

[fooligans]

Well, I didn't hit on anyone else if that's what you're asking about.

[ Is there anything else Naoto expected to hear...? ]

Oh, I haven't tried this one. Can I?

[ At least he has enough decency to ask if he can try Naoto's drink. ]

[divinereaper]

Good.

[ You'd be surprised. ]

Oh, uh, sure. [ He holds it out, seeing absolutely no problem, given he's got an extra straw this time. ] Here.

[fooligans]

[ Naoto, you sweet summer child. ]

Thanks. [ Akira takes a sip and nods, it's really good. ] You have great taste.

[ His eyes feel really heavy almost right away. ]

That one...

[ He doesn't even get to finish the sentence and falls asleep in an instant, oops. ]

[divinereaper]

A-Akira!? [ A beat. ] Dude, have you not slept?!

[ He shakes him for a bit, wondering what the hell is he going to do. He doesn't know where he lives or anything! ]

[fooligans]

[ He's going to be a useless lump for now, so there's no answer. However, Akira's familiar, clearly amused by the whole situation shows up and hops on the table. ]

Just drop him by the inn. Or leave him here, he'll wake up eventually.

[divinereaper]

That second choice sounds like a horrible, horrible idea. So the inn it is.

[ And so Naoto picks up Akira with a bit of effort, making sure he didn't leave anything behind, and heads off to the inn to drop him off. ]
