[open] May catch-all
🧙 WHO: Lucy/Nyuu & You
⚔️️ WHAT: 1st big opera role, quests (No Buccaing Out & Holo, Goodbye), & bug catching contest.
🕒 WHEN: Throughout May
🗺️ WHERE: Various
⚠️ WARNINGS: Mentions of blood (blood magic); drinking; drunk Nyuu: IC, drunk Nyuu forgets about personal space and will become clingy.
I. 1st Big Opera Role (Lucy or Nyuu) | CW: mentioned religion in link to the opera's synopsis
[Although it's not a starring role just yet, the girls are finally getting a bigger supportive role for this month's opera performance. They've told their friends and acquaintances about it, inviting them to come watch, but it's a public performance so all are welcome. The opera running this month is Rinaldo, but with an Avalonian twist. Lucy and Nyuu's role (depending on who is in control) is Almirena. Each night, they are wearing a blue and gold dress, and their hair is styled into a braid that hangs over their right shoulder. There's even tiny flowers intertwined with their hair.
No matter which of the girls is performing, however, both have made sure to memorized their lines. During Act 2 is a scene where Almirena sings of her grief of being in captivity, and all eyes are on the girls. Each of them sings beautifully during their nights of performing.
The girls can be approached after the performances if one sticks around a little longer and spots them exiting the theater, dressed in their regular clothes while their hair and makeup remains. Or perhaps they are spotted walking on the street during a normal day out and about.]
II. Quest: No Buccaing Out (Lucy)
[A diving suit would have been the best thing to wear, but those were expensive, so Lucy just bought a swimsuit with shorts that's a combination of pink, lavender, and black colors.]
I can turn into aquatic animals with my animal magic, so if you need the potion, go ahead and take it. I wonder if a crab's shell could withstand the paralytic? I know of a crab native to Japan that's pretty big and has long limbs. What about you? What were you planning to do?
III. Quest: Holo, Goodbye (Nyuu + a possible switch to Lucy? Depends on how drunk Nyuu gets.) | CW: Drinking, Drunk Nyuu
[Because the fairies are drinking, they're either more cheerful than usual, or more mischievous, or maybe even both. Either way, they offer some of whatever they're drinking to Nyuu. She puts her hands out in front of her and laughs nervously.]
Ahaha... I mustn't drink. I don't really drink anyway--
[The fairies become offended by Nyuu's rejection and threaten to withhold the stones. Nyuu panics and ends up accepting their offer. She's still normal after the first drink, but the fairies want her to drink more.]
Eh? M-more? [She looks helplessly at whoever's decided to accompany her on this quest.] What should I do? I don't want to become a burden by getting drunk, and we have to get the stone to the family before the holo wears off. But if I don't drink, they said they wouldn't let us take any...
IV: Bug Catching Contest (Nyuu)
[Nyuu's all for the middle ground stance (as well as the slow/steady, but that's mainly because of the bribery with cookies). She's got a plastic bug cage with what she's caught so far. It's not full to the brim, but it's a modest amount of bugs, until one of the bipedal frogs wraps their tongue around her ankle. Nyuu cries out in surprise as she falls to the ground, dropping her cage hard enough that it bursts open, allowing the frogs to gobble up everything she had.]
Oh no! My bugs!
[She just stays on her knees, looking at her fallen cage dejectedly.]

[But he laughs cheerfully all the same. Look, they're not bandits, and if someone was running around carrying konpeito in a konpeito catching race... he'd probably try to trip them and steal their jar too...]
[Back to the frogs!] Only ugly things make you stronger! Don't forget it! [By that logic does konpeito not make him stronger? Yes. But that's okay, he defeats oni/demons/the monks who fake that such things even exist - so he doesn't consume their power the way the frogs do to insects.]
[Back to Nyuu!] You can have mine if you want. I was just going to observe, but... [A mischievous grin and twinkle before holding a finger over his lips, STILL HOLDING THE FROGS BACK!] I got caught up in the moment. Don't tell anyone, okay?
no subject
Of course, Nobunaga-sama, your secret is safe with me, b-but I can't accept all of your bugs. [She bows deeply while still kneeling on the ground, putting her hands flat on the grass to stabilize herself, but soon smiles softly when she settles back down.] That isn't to say that I'm completely turning down your generosity. You can just give me a portion of your bugs.
I have animal magic as my primary type, so I can catch some more. There's still time.
[She's been changing into birds and animals that could burrow underground.]

[She's curious about how he's going to get the airborne bugs. Was he going to use a net? Or something else? But she can't stick around to look right now, so she transforms into a meerkat and burrows underground, popping up every so often carrying an insect in her mouth to deposit into her cage. Thanks to a meerkat's excellent sense of smell even when underground, she's able to sniff them out without too much trouble!]
no subject
[Yes. Someone taught him the slang of "cool." He's already abusing it.]
[Nobunaga isn't doing anything super fancy like that, just catching them like a kid, either on the trees traditional cicada style with sweet candy as bait, or using his falcon Haguro! Not that Haguro is super thrilled to be fetching insects instead of rabbits or fish!]
no subject
She makes little meerkat sounds and bashfully rubs the back of her furry little head with a paw. She's not restricted to just animal sounds, though, as she soon speaks with her regular voice.]
I've turned into a meerkat! They're from Africa and very good at digging, as you can see!
[She lifts up both paws to better show the claws that were clearly made for burrowing into the ground.]
I didn't know you had a falcon, Nobunaga-sama. He looks just as cool, b-but... In this form, I can't help but get nervous whenever he looks at me.
[Thanks to her meerkat brain. Birds of prey do eat meerkats, after all.]
no subject
[Laughs and whistles for Haguro to land on his arm.] I can hold Haguro as long as you need, unless you feel brave enough to try to command him yourself. Sometimes facing your fears is the only way to conquer them.
Falconing is one of the things my father taught me, actually. I'm always surprised that more isn't written about it.
He knows not to eat cute things though.
no subject
[She's still nervous at the thought, but at the same time, this is a rare opportunity!]
Probably best I change back. [And she does just that. Even in her normal, humanoid form, though, Haguro is still intimidating.] My animal magic allows me to communicate with animals too, so if you want, I could tell you what Haguro is saying.
[She gives a friendly wave at the hawk.]
Hello, Haguro. My name is Nyuu. Thrilled to meet you!
no subject
[Haguro hops over to land on her head, while Nobunaga takes off his hawking gauntlet and puts it on her arm, even though it'll probably be extra huge and a bit weighty.]
♫ I dunno, she looks like a stiff breeze might blow her over, not just the hopper demons. You sure about this Demon King?♫
[Nobunaga has no idea what Haguro just screeched, he just assumes they're getting along fine since Haguro could always fly off since he's not being held, and wouldn't have gone over there if he didn't want to.]
♫So little miss flower-hair you gonna let me hunt anything bigger than a beetle, or can I just drive a swarm of midges at you?♫
[That, Nobunaga seems to the gist of and shoots his falcon a dark look.] Lady Nyuu is in your charge, I'm trusting her to you, I know you wouldn't dare let me down.
♫I won't, I won't!♫ [Haguro seems to laugh!]
[To Nyuu, Nobunaga checks the final strap and nods!] You ready?
