i. sir fuzzlerton the cad ( open )

[There are certainly stranger jobs that Jade has picked up in recent memory, most of them alongside friends back home, so seeking out a missing rabbit that’s on the lookout for a mate doesn’t strike her as a particularly odd request— but she had underestimated just how many Bunny Cafés have come into being in honor of the season.
She collapses into a chair at one of the tables at the fourth café she investigates, folding her arms and dropping her head to rest it against them.]

How is anyone meant to find a single rabbit in a city this size? I severely underestimated just how difficult this would be…

[He’s an angora, so he ought to stand out, or so the description had implied. She sighs, lifting her chin to rest it in her hand and prop her elbow against the table as she looks to whoever happens to be sitting nearest to her.]

You wouldn’t have happened to spot a particularly… aggressively friendly rabbit recently, would you?

[Curse this lothario lagomorph!

Alternatively, feel free to cross paths with her at any of the other pop-up cafés in your own search, if you so choose.]

ii. home sweet home ( closed to eleven )

[It had only taken a few short weeks before Jade had decided she'd had her fill of the hotel. It was kind enough of the city to provide for newcomers, but it's become abundantly clear that this situation is not temporary and thus, more permanent lodgings are called for.

Eleven has been somewhat more hesitant. The city is a bit big for him, Jade thinks, and to a degree she can empathize— though she had been born in Heliodor, she had spent most of her life on the road with Rab, sleeping in tents or small-town inns. Camelot certainly has the potential to be overwhelming, but if they're going to thrive here, she figures they ought to be close to where everything happens. Fortunately, she had gotten him to agree to go look at places to live with her, and both Bella and Tickety-Boo had come along to offer their insight— whatever that might be worth in the long run.

They've seen two flats so far, but both were a bit small for two people, and Jade has been working enough that she thinks they might be able to find something that better suits both of them. They're in a quiet neighborhood near the edge of the city now, and she gives her companion a questioning look as they walk.]

This isn't so bad. Less noisy than the rest, don't you think?

[Maybe not Cobblestone-quaint, but something.]

iii. to catch a thief ( closed to dimitri )

[Another return trip to the Red Spring, but with a much different purpose this time around— Jade had come here in weeks past to look for familiar faces, make use of the training facilities or simply soak up the ambience, but this time she comes with a particular task in mind, as well as company to help her handle it. While she has no doubt she can take care of a common thief on her own, the trip to the Red Spring is long enough that she hadn't quite felt up to making it all on her lonesome. After years of only a single travel companion, she's found she's grown quite tired of solitude. Dimitri has proven himself to be good company as well as an excellent sparring partner— even the gnome debacle following that awful elevator hadn't negated that, and so it seemed only natural that she ask him to accompany her.

Her expression is carefully neutral as she and Dimitri approach the inn, and she carefully scans their surroundings. Nothing seems out of place, so far, but if the man they're after is any good at his job, then she supposes it wouldn't.]

If he's hoping to rent a horse, he'll have to pass through here.

[She's also hoping the sketch they had been given of one Snagglefoot Miffen was reasonably accurate, or else it was going to be difficult to spot him.]

What do you say we politely ask the proprietor if they've seen anyone fitting his description?

[If polite doesn't work, there are certainly other methods to employ, but she's hoping they can save intimidation for Snagglefoot himself.]

iv. wildcard

[Anything else goes here! If you want to work something out together, feel free to hit me up via PM or at necrofancy, or just leave a starter and see what’s what! Jade is out and about doing odd jobs and exploring the city this month as she makes herself at home, and will be offering herself as muscle for hire for anyone who needs it while she’s still finding her way.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Yona is out exploring her new surroundings. She is certainly not lost. At all. She'll find her way back to where she's supposed to be. Eventually.

It's an adventure.

Although being approached by an unknown girl has her stopping and eyeing her in curiosity. ]

Did you lose your pet?

[ ...please tell her you haven't lost a puca. ]

[Jade shakes her head before she slumps back against the table, giving a dismissive wave towards the rest of the café with her free hand.]

Not me personally, but someone has, and she's put out a bill to have people look for him. The owner seems to think he'll be running to all of the café's like this one and getting himself into... trouble.

[She winces even as she puts emphasis on that last word.]

I severely underestimated just how hard it was going to be to find a single rabbit in this city. I didn't realize just how many of these places have popped up.

[ Yona glances around her before giving the other girl a sympathetic look. ]

It does seem to be quite popular at the moment, doesn't it?

Did you get a description of the one you're looking for? Maybe I can help you search.

This city does seem to take the coming of spring very seriously.

[And this even before the equinox is upon them.

She brightens a tiny bit at the offer— she has trouble asking for helping, generally, but she can certainly accept it when it's offered from time to time.]

If it really wouldn't be too much of a bother, I would be grateful for another pair of eyes. If we find him, I'd be more than happy to share the reward, as well. He's an angora— I'm told that means he has exceptionally long fur?

They are much fluffier, yes. [ Yona might not know a lot about rabbits, but she should know enough to be able to help, at least. ]

Do you know what color he is?

Light gray, I believe, and he's supposed to be very large, so he should stand out.

["Should" being the operative word, but the description given was at least such that she didn't feel like she could have overlooked him at the cafes she's already visited. She pushes herself away from the table and to her feet, giving herself a better vantage point to scan the room once more.

At these pop-up cafes are rather small, themselves?]

And, if the tales are to be believed, rather lecherous... I'd like to find him before some lady rabbit makes a decision she might regret.

[The phrase "doing it like bunnies" definitely has roots in reality.]

[ Yona chokes on a sudden laugh at that, quickly glancing around to take in the rabbits she can see at this place. Although none of them seem to match the description Jade had given her. ]

...or before we might have to interrupt to retrieve him, as it were.

[... ah, she hadn't considered that possibility.]

I sincerely hope that isn't the case.

[She closes her eyes for a brief moment, because dear gods, she has seen a lot, but that is one thing she could very much go without seeing firsthand.]

[ That's not subduing Yona's laughter any, because that expression is pretty much exactly how she feels about the matter as well. ]

...Maybe if we find out where all the lady rabbits hang out we can find out where he is.

[ ...That had worked with Jae-Ha. ]

[There's a momentary pause before Jade, too, joins her in laughing, shaking her head.]

Well, that does seem like it would be right to the point, considering how keen he is to sniff them out.

[Unlike people, however, she doubts the lady rabbits are just sitting around having tea.]

You sound like you speak from experience.

[ Yona just shoots the other girl a rueful look, because she happens to know several of the type, in fact. She almost seems to collect them. ]

I do. [ Her tone is wry, but fond. ] I suppose that just leaves us to sniff them out first, as it were. Although I'm not as sure how to do that. You don't happen to have any of the animal magic of this place, do you? [ Simply asking them would be the simplest method, but she doubts this would be so easy if it were. ]

This particular task would be far easier if I did.

[Alas, no.]

We'll just have to do this the old-fashioned way, won't we?

[She doesn't seem quite as discouraged by that as she had when she'd first sat down, however— though the search has been long and wearying so far, having company for at least a little while is reinvigorating, and she smiles as she inclines her head towards the back of the café.]

Let's go snoop around the hutches and see if there's anything worth investigating. If not, then I suppose it's on to the next café.

[There are just... so many.]

[ She'd noticed that herself, glancing around them for a moment. ]

How many of them have you looked through so far? From just my walk here this morning, it felt like there was one on every street corner...

[ But she does nod and accompany Jade towards the back of the cafe to take a look at the hutches there. ]
