Staring at the Blank Page Before You, Open Up the Dirty Window (March Catch-All)

[roseeclair]

🧙 WHO: Makoto Kino and YOU!
⚔️ WHAT: Catch-all for TDM overflow, quests, and what have you!
🕒 WHEN: Throughout March
🗺️ WHERE: In and around Camelot, the farming district, and the Red Spring Inn
⚠️ WARNINGS: N/A



A. Reaching For Something in the Distance (Training)

[Being pulled into a whole other world to help save it and other worlds? Time stopping back home on top of it? The high stakes are disturbing, but honestly not too surprising anymore. Makoto and her friends have saved the Earth, the solar system, the time line from certain doom quite a few times by now. Losing her connection to Jupiter, her strength and ability to transform? That… that stings, almost like losing a sense. But she at least has Elemental magic, it turns out, so she should at least still control lightning. And earth, and water, and air, quite a few other things actually. Really weird, but... comforting in a way. It makes her feel like the girls are lending her their strength.

Makoto shakes herself out of her thoughts drifting like that, turning her attention to the large bear at her side, the fur a glowing jade green and with short forks of lightning arcing from it. Still Makoto doesn’t seem harmed at all as she gives him a light pet between the ears.]

Alright, Kaede… third time’s the charm.

[She squares up her stance, takes a deep breath in, out, in… and punches towards the target with a loud] HA!

[What she’s trying to do is zap it with lightning. What happens is… giving the target a splash of water, fit for a kiddie pool.]

Oh come on!


B. So Close You Can Almost Taste It (Sir Fuzzlerton the Cad)

[This quest should have been a piece of cake, really. Sit at a café, look around for a rabbit fitting Sir Fuzzlerton’s description, enjoy some tea and adorable desserts while she’s at it. If he’s not there, finish said tea and cake (brisky though, she knows when to focus at least) and repeat. Simple, fun, cute task… the first couple times.

By the third café though, Makoto’s limiting herself to a turkey sandwich, a small salad, and a cup of herbal tea, no matter how tempting that mille-feuille looks… or the strawberry tart… or the pink Swiss roll cake… or the chocolate gateau… or the lattes with the really, REALLY beautiful foam art. She knows she’d only end up with a caffeine rush and crush, or an upset stomach. It’s actually rather packed in here, so you might end up seated at a table right next to hers, or even across from her table for one if you’re up for it.]

Ugh… you’d think there’d be *one* white rabbit with a brown left ear and brown spectacles, but nooo…

[She’s groaning to herself more than anything, but feel free to chime in too.]


C. Release Your Inhibitions (Farmers-R-Us)

[While Makoto’s never done actual farm work before, she is strong (still quite above average even if her super strength is gone) and knows a lot about gardening. Any time she can work with plants is a good time for her. She tries to help out wherever she’s needed, whether it’s hauling bags of seed, wheeling carts with water jugs, breaking the ground and making rows, or gathering up hay for baling, Mako can be found pretty much anywhere around a given farm. Maybe not working as quickly as she’d like… heck maybe at one point she could use a water break, she’s not used to pacing herself *this* much. She should be fine, right?]


D. Feel the Rain On Your Skin, No One Else Can Feel It For You (Wildcard)

[[Got something in mind aside from the prompts listed? Hit me up on Plurk or message Makoto’s journal to plot things out!]]

TDM Overflow

[roseeclair]

[Collection of threads from the TDM continued and made canon!]

Robyn

[roseeclair]

[[Continued from here]]

Yes! [Mako laughs in triumph as she lifts her hand to prompt Robyn to twirl.] Let's keep it up then!

[wolfhunted]

Right!

[As they continue to dance around the moon garden, its glow becomes brighter, and soon some outlines start to take shape. It looks like they managed to summon some fairies!

...who turn out to be long-legged bird things wearing icicle crowns. Definitely not the kind of fairies Robyn pictured.]

Um...hello. Are you the frost fairies?

Della

[roseeclair]

[[Continued from here.]]

[That gets a laugh out of Makoto in kind.]

"Dancing" works. Ready when you are.

[sos_pilot]

[ Makoto's too tall to tango with, so she'll just have to go solo. ]

I have wanted to try the new dancing crazes Dewey's told me about...

[ Which is why this woman in her thirties begins to "floss". ]

Yang

[roseeclair]

[[Continued from here.]]

A brief paw-se pause, and then Kaede brings a paw towards Xióng's belly like he's going to tickle it. Makoto can't help a grin even as she tries to hide it.

"Awww I think he's worried about hurting him. You sweetie..."

[justwatchmeburn]

Xióng just sits there for a moment, before bringing his paws up to try and snag Kaedea's own. He thinks it's a game!

"Heh, I guess Kaede's the stern but caring type," she said. Then, she turned her attention away from the familiars. "Hm. I guess we need to figure out what to do with all these rabbits, huh?"

Fenton

[roseeclair]

[[Continued from here.]]

Ooh, dahlias! These are pretty! Let's see... [She thinks for a minute, pointing and twirling a finger in the air as she does... with... maybe some sparks crackling in its wake.] Dignity, good taste, "my gratitude exceeds your care," although I have read it can mean instability too...

[doctorintern]

Wow! That is truly incredible!

[ Excuse him a moment as he writes a bit of that down. ]

Though I doubt if instability is a good message to convey...

Keith

[roseeclair]

[Continued from here.]]

[She'll take his hand for a firm shake too.]

Makoto Kino. Nice to meet you, Keith. [A person with a first AND last name, such a rarity.] So what kind of flowers were you looking at?

[tempredmental]

Uuuh... Well, I hadn't really decided. I figured just get something that looked nice and hope for the best?

[Bad idea, Keith...]

Usagi

[roseeclair]

[[Continued from here.]]

[Makoto pulls away from the hug just enough to look at her- which isn't much, given the considerable height difference.]

For finding us, and bringing us back. ... Even if we ended up somewhere else, where is this place?

[She'd thought for sure that Usagi specifically told Guardian Cosmos they wanted to go back home.]

[starshaper]

[Ah. Right. That. So Makoto's from their new future. Goooooood, at least Usagi already knows that it's not just something she hopes for but something that will actually happen once she gets home... She smiles at her with a soft and gentle smile but there's always something more genuine about it whenever she smiles at loved ones from home.]

I'd do that for any of you anytime and as often as you need me to do that... I'll always find you. Except, now you found me!

[Usagi sounds so happy and grateful about that. She has missed her so much!!]

Oh this place? This is Avalon... From all those legends about Excalibur, King Arthur, Merlin and Morgana and everyone else. So I mean, we all ended up into another world from all kind of different worlds and now they're not just a legend since they're all here!

Welcome to saving Camelot, Mako-chan.

C

[divinereaper]

[ Naoto's been watching Makoto work herself to the bone, and is starting to get worried-- she hasn't stopped for a second, not even for water. Normally, Naoto wouldn't have cared, but given that the quest asked for two people, he was going to worry. So what does he do?

Naoto stops her from moving. ]

Listen, I get you want to get everything done. But please take a break!

[roseeclair]

[One second she's loading a cart with hay, the next oh hey, sudden face in her face. That gets a few blinks... before she tries to give him an easy laugh.]

You're sweet. I'm fine, really, I can go for a bit longer.

B

[songstressedout]

You'd think, yeah...

[ Yuzu has a harder time of resisting all of the sweets... having one of the said-pink swiss roll cakes in front of her. At the very least, she's taking her time eating it... mostly because of how many rabbits have decided to use Yuzu as a perch.

Yes, she's covered in them. There's one on her head, one on each shoulder, and even more piled up on her lap. None of them are Sir Fuzzlerton, unfortunately, but this is officially the second time animals have decided to swarm her. She doesn't even have animal magic, so what gives!?

In any case, she's currently sitting right across from Makoto at her table while the rabbits show some impressive dedication to not falling off of her. ]

[roseeclair]

[... Okay yeah, that. That is a lot of bunnies, Mako can't help but guffaw at her! On the bright side, it instantly lightens her mood, even enough to have a rabbit hop into her.]

Dang, you're pretty hop-ular, aren't you?

[..... Booooooooooooooooooooooo...]

C

[handsome_genius]

Ah ah ah!

[ Yoon lightly scolds her to stop her before she can set a certain bag of seeds down a few feet away from him. ]

We're not planting the same things they just harvested last season! We have to rotate their crops or this soil won't be able to grow anything for very long.

[ The young man speaks with the absolute certainty of someone from a farming community, despite his years. He stands from his spot on the ground and looks around, hands on his hips. ]

Who gave you that bag? Geez! Is this their first year doing this?

[roseeclair]

[WELP that sure is a kid fussing about the seeds she's carrying. She does still put down the bag, but more in the "let me set this down for a sec to rest my nerfed arms and rub the back of my neck in embarrassment" way.]

Ah, sorry? I just got told to bring these over. Are you like a supervisor or...?

B.

[madcuriosity]

[Alice was having as difficult a time as Makoto for a very different reason. This was actually her FIRST stop and she was getting very easily distracted by those same delicious desserts.

It didn't help that the waitresses thought she was adorable and kept giving her free samples of everything when she had asked what would be the best thing to try because it all looked so positively scrumptious and pretty. So there was Alice, surrounded by food only a table away from Makoto.]

Oh! Are you looking for Sir Fuzzlerton, miss?

[roseeclair]

[Awww, she IS precious! Makoto's face eases into a smile.]

Yeah, I am. I take it you're trying to help out too?

C.

[beautyrest]

[Hey, look Makoto, a girl who is just as tall as you are, is suddenly at your elbow.]

Forgive me for saying this, I hope you do not think me presumptuous, but I do feel you should sit and rest as well as drink some water, at the very least.

[Aurora was no slouch when it came to hard labor. Growing up in the woods in the 1400s with only women in the household meant everyone did everything and more often than not, it fell to Aurora to do a lot since, bless her aunts, but they were fae and mortal concepts didn't always make sense to them. So while she was helping where she could she had noticed the very beautiful young woman who was putting a good many men and women in the fields to shame with her work ethic... and then she continued to notice how she never once seemed to take a break.]

[roseeclair]

[Oh hi, tall as her and as pretty as Michiru girl, how are you today? Give Mako's brain a couple seconds to restart, it's like having the Mona Lisa- or one of your two favorite Disney princesses ever- shoved in your face.]

Ah... thanks, i-t's okay, I'm fine...

A

[lendedahand]

[Lavellan frequented the training grounds as it was as close to something familiar as he could get in this world with strange technology and foreign magic. Like the days overlooking soldiers training in Skyhold or the young hunters in his clan.

Most he saw practicing their foreign magics, but one in particular caught his eye. Elemental magic they were calling it here, same as what he had been granted, and the closest magic to home he had seen. Likewise the magical misfire was equally familiar, harkened back to his childhood except with less uniquely unfortunate mishaps when spells backfired or were cast accidentally.

So he couldn’t help but venture forward and offer the human a friendly smile. He was very lean compared to humans, and despite being all leg was slightly shorter than a human man would be. Most notably though, were his pointed ears, and while he tried not to draw attention to it, his lack of left forearm.]

I don’t suppose you might like some help? This magic is somewhat close to what I’ve wielded in my home world.

[roseeclair]

[Makoto turns around and huh. She's been told this is a fantasy world, complete with King Arthur, but this is the first elf she's seen. The tall human teen blinks for a bit before sighing.]

Honestly, yeah, I would... I'm trying to shoot lightning, but it's [not working like it would at home... is what she WOULD say, but senshi secrets] doing everything but.
