🧙 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

[fooligans]

I don't think anyone will sell me—

[ And there she goes before he even gets to finish the sentence. Perhaps Akira should have expected that.

It's a shame that he didn't practice air magic as much as he should because he's going to keep launching himself in the air to get from one rooftop to another. Floating down slows him greatly too, so it's pretty much Kate's win. ]

[morns]

( honestly, it's surprising how lassiez-faire shopkeepers can be about ages. at least, it was back home. that might not apply here, despite the similarities between her home and Avalon. but that's something even Kate realises she probably shouldn't recommend to a teenager.

but when it comes to this race... well, it doesn't feel like much of one. she quickly realises that she doesn't really need to use kinetic magic to keep a lead, when years of practice and daily circuits through the city keep her moving smoothly and easily across the rooftops until—

there he is.

see you down below, Akira, because Kate is not waiting around to stop this guy in his tracks, jumping off the roof and tumbling right into his path. )

[fooligans]

[ While he's been behind most of the time, Akira gets there just in time to block the thief's escape route when he tries to avoid Kate who's standing in his way. He even lands on his feet and not on his face, amazing.

Ironically, the grappling hook was safer than magic. ]

Do your worst, Kate.

[ He's lost fair and square, after all. Snagglefoot Miffen doesn't seem to be intimidated by his words and crosses his arms on his chest, clearly not willing to answer any questions. ]

[morns]

( maybe she'll drag him out for some proper training in this sometime. he seems to have a basic idea, but it's not quite there. like he knows what he should be doing but not how to get there.

but that's a job for another time. for now? well, her worst is probably something that shouldn't happen on the streets of Camelot, but she can do adjacent to her worst. and just like that, her usually neutral expression melts into a glower and she crosses the couple of steps between herself and Snagglefoot to grab him by his collar and drag him to eye level. )

Cough 'em up and we can all get on with our lives.

( admittedly, his life will probably be carried out from the inside of a jail cell, but... potato potato. )

[fooligans]

[ Akira needs approximately five seconds to decide that Kate is better suited for this role than he'll ever be. Honestly, he doesn't want to be in Snagglefoot's position now or ever. Once he's done fighting off an old tick of his —pulling his own hair, namely—Akira joins the conversation. ]

Or just hand them down. [ She didn't mean that literally, but... ] You're already in trouble so don't make things worse for yourself. Unless you're into...this.

[ This being pinned against the wall. Akira, why. ]

[morns]

( she wouldn't have put back alley interrogation techniques on a transferable skills list before this, honestly. they weren't necessary for tracking down monsters, and any other job would probably flinch at them.

but, well, whatever works. Snagglefoot grimaces as his back hits the wall and shoves himself forward — he's taller, bigger, probably stronger, right? — in an attempt to make a break for it. but she has magic on her side, actually useful stuff for a change, and the only thing he gets for his trouble is an invisible force pushing him more firmly into the wall.

and then Akira says that and Kate turns to him with a Look. )

... You think?

( it may be possible, but Snagglefoot doesn't seem to agree. )

No! Freaks...

What was that?

[fooligans]

He looks like he's into it to me. [ Now he's just doing this to annoy the thief who caused all the trouble. So much for playing the good cop. ] Oh, I didn't hear anything.

[ Akira might be saying that but there's a clinking sound which might mean one thing—Snagglefoot keeps the gems close. ]

Cooperate with us or... [ At that moment, he peeks at Kate. ] Or I literally don't know what is going to happen.

[ It might not be fun for the thief, however. ]

[morns]

( bad cop, snarky cop? what does it matter as long as it works, really.

and she certainly hears that noise, the soft tinkling of their prize as Snagglefoot looks from one to the other, as though trying to decide who he'd have better luck with if he said anything.

and, eventually, he settles on Akira. )

C'mon, man. I give you one of these and you'll be set for a month. How about that?

[fooligans]

And what would I have to do for you for that one gem?

[ He's curious about Snagglefoot's possible escape plan because he clearly has something in mind. ]

And why just one?

[ Akira couldn't care less about getting gems, but he'd like to hear the reason as well. ]

[morns]

Be-because... ack! ( it's hard to make up an excuse when you end up getting yanked around again, and a forearm digs into your throat. poor Snagglefoot. )

'S gonna be a lie. Should stop entertaining idiots like this.

( isn't that right, Snaggles? they'd have a much easier time if she could see that pouch and yank it free, but hey, manual mode works too. )

Ghk... seriously, just let me go, man!

[fooligans]

[ He feels just a little bad that making a joke resulted in Snagglefoot getting yanked more. On the other hand, he probably deserves this kind of treatment. ]

Do you want to have some more fun with him or should we turn him in?

[ That suggestion makes the thief speak up again: ]

Half of the gems! Can't give you more, damn.

[morns]

( ...half? he's really trying to escape this. her brows raise and she casts a glance towards Akira. )

He's had enough.

( she loosens her grip and Snaggles looks relieved to see it, hope glimmering in his eyes for a moment, before Kate opens her mouth again to ruin it. )

You bring a rope?

( or something they can tie him up with while they drag him back. )

[fooligans]

Sure, I always carry one in case there's a situation.

[ Actually, he's not—Akira admits that a moment later, but he's pretty sure that if he asks around, someone should have something. Pretty sure that Kate can handle Snagglefoot alone, he'll excuse himself to look for something appropriate.

After no longer than five minutes he's back with something which technically is appropriate, but it makes Akira wonder why someone has a pair of handcuffs on themselves.

Maybe they were hoping for A Situation. ]

It's our lucky day. [ To make things better/worse, these handcuffs are of the fuzzy kind. ] May I or do you want to do the honors?

[morns]

( ... well.

this is one of the weirder things to happen since she got here. )

Go for it. ( she is quite content to just. take in the entire insanity of this moment. )

[fooligans]

[ He can't blame her, honestly. This truly might be one of the most bizarre moments ever since he's arrived here. ]

Hopefully, next time I'll have to handcuff someone the circumstances will be different. [ AKIRA. ] Do you think you can escort him to the station?

[ He's avoiding that place for a reason, haha. ]

[morns]

Use proper handcuffs. These are flimsy.

( the correct and responsible adult response to a comment like that, right? )

Got it. Don't get in trouble.

( it'll be easy enough to drag this idiot back by herself, at least. )
