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

🧙 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!]]

And such weirder astronomy too, this will be fun

[One sentence in and he’s already ready for a hypothetical drink.]

Alright, lost me with that last bit there I think. But perhaps I might have an idea why you’re struggling with magic.

You are used to drawing from so many sources, now you are restricted to one. It might be creating some confusion while trying to form the spell.

[That was his guess anyway. It was like trying to cat a spell beyond your skill in his world, one would get strange backlash.]

[Lavellan reached over to give the friendly bear a pat on the head.]

Your friend here is your new source of magic. You’ll need to learn to borrow and shape the power from your familiar.

[Which wasn’t entirely unlike drawing magic from the Fade back home, just... far more limited.]

You have to feel the connection, and start pulling the magic to you, then you can start to shape it, but don’t lose awareness of that link.

[It was his last bit of advice before sorting out of the way. Might be worth seeing how she could cast with that much. If she hypothetically knew Magic, then he didn’t want to belittle her talent. Off she still struggled, he had more techniques to help.

He stepped aside so she had some space.

Ready for another attempt?

Look at that you’re a natural.

[He gives her a playful cheeky grin.]

If I didn’t know better off think you were a mage.

A teacher?

[ Said with some surprise, but he sped out wants at outlandish as he thought and he chuckled and shook his head.]

No, no, just a mage. Came into my magic around my sixth summer. Where I’m from, a mage has to spend their life learning to control their power. We’re a natural danger to ourselves and others of ill trained.

While this brand of magic seems less dangerous, it’s similar enough that I thought I might be able to help some of those training.
