[roseeclair]

🧙 WHO: Makoto Kino and YOU!
⚔️ WHAT: Catch-all for TDM overflow, quests, and what have you!

⚠️ 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!]]

Comments

Ah, but that is the key, isn't it. They have rules. Even Maleficent has those. For example, fae cannot be forsworn.

[roseeclair]

Forsworn? [Thankfully, after a couple of seconds, she remembers Ami grilling her on this one for entrance exams.] You mean they can't lie?

[beautyrest]

Exactly so, it is a rule all fae are bound by. Even the fae here. Though... as a word of caution, fae may not lie, but they do not need to reveal the truth. If you are tricked into thinking a dangerous bog is a safe, pleasant meadow by a trick of magic, a fae need not correct you.

[roseeclair]

Yup, that sounds familiar too.

[So. Many. Enemy. Traps. Although the enemies they fought had no qualms at all about lying.]

[beautyrest]

My goodness, my lady, what do you deal with back home?

[roseeclair]

Way too much sometimes. [But then the exasperation gives way to a wry smile.] It's worth it, though. Like I said, maybe I'll be able to tell it sometime.

[beautyrest]

As you wish, I certainly shan't pry it from you. A story that does not wish to be told does not a good story make, after all.

[roseeclair]

Thanks. If it helps, I might be able to sometime. We're just used to keeping it secret at home, but this place...

[Well, something to talk with Usagi about.]

[beautyrest]

They are your secrets to keep and share as you please, Makoto. Such is your right to them, so long as they do not hurt anyone else. [Aurora herself REALLY DOESN'T LIKE THEM, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, but she doesn't blame people for having them.]
