WHO: Waver + mostly open
WHERE: Around town + Gemini
WHEN: 6/22-23
WHAT: Thornmarch (Savage)
WARNINGS: None

[i; around town]

[There was a lot he had to do today. Stalling would serve no purpose, least of all when these goddamned moogles were only increasing their efforts at intervention. In recent days he'd taken to leaving the Academy not only on time (for a change) but out through various windows in bird form. The occasional cardboard boxes and hurriedly drawn cartoon hedges out front meant the damn things were all but lying in wait for him.]

[So it was a matter of pulling the trigger before it was pulled for him, which pushed his calculations forward considerably. On this specific day, Waver could only be seen around town by those with particularly sharp eyes; ducking in and out of alleyways carrying a shopping bag full of varying items--including, if one looked closely, a small bouquet of red and yellow roses.]

[Perhaps you've noticed him in the midst of one such vanishing act, hurriedly scrambling around the corner of a building into the shadows--moments later, a moogle comes down the street and looks around in confusion before turning off in a different direction.]

[Unfortunately for Waver, the building he chose to hide behind was that suspicious store with the oddly intermittent schedule. And perhaps, as he double checked to make sure the coast was clear, something got mysteriously slipped into his pocket.]

[...There was a lot to do today indeed.]

[ii; closed to diarmuid]

['Let's do something fun tonight.' he'd offered in as casual a way as possible with his heart lodged firmly in his throat trying to choke him to death. 'Change of pace, you know?']

[That change of pace took the form of an evening on the roof of their apartment building, with an apple-based cake and a freshly made pot of tea. A perfectly calm night under the stars. Nothing odd or unusual about that. Not a single thing.]

[iii; 6/23; un: silverrose]

vital advice to anyone looking to purchase a ring for any reason whatsoever

don't let those tax evading flying rat pom-pom bastards hear about it

Comments

not here but some time before that closed prompt

[WAVER.

THE MOOGLES ARE COMING.

I COULDN'T STOP THEM IN TIME. DON'T DO THE THING.

THEY'RE GOING TO FIND YOU.

THEY'RE ON THE WAY

WAVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.]

you know why i'm here.

[twofoldfury]

[There really was no reason to doubt that this was done just for a change of pace. And Diarmuid was an appreciator of shaking things up every now and again. So he was delighted to have a dinner under starlight.

He supposed for this he'd allow Waver to be the one to cook and not make it a competition to make it to the kitchen first.]

The night is perfect for such a dinner, isn't it?

hehehe

[fionnuisce]

Yeah? I was hoping it'd be this clear out.

[said waver, trying to act casual.]

It was nice to watch the meteor shower back in that one spirit gate, so I figured this wouldn't be so bad as a substitute.

[twofoldfury]

I wasn't here in time to enjoy the coming of summer last year...

[He trailed off a little, realizing that it's been nearly a year since he was granted this second chance at life as Lancer. He served tea for the both of them as he's done many times since his first arrival.]

The stars do not always need to fall to appreciate them. [Try to keep up that casual act while Diarmuid's got starry eyes looking at you, Waver. Can you resist?]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

OH MY GOD??????

DETAILS. I NEED DETAILS WAVER VELVET.

[fionnuisce]

well it's exactly what it sounds like

except with far more annoying little fluffy bastards than i had originally planned

(i had planned for zero to be the number of those involved)

[fiddlestick]

Oh c'mon! You can give more details than that!

Where did you propose? How long have you been planning this? Did he say yes? Do you need help with your wedding's music?

[bebest]

GASP!

Is that FRESH BREWED TEA I smell?

[fionnuisce]

oh i see

just because i'm english everything has to be tea

i'm hurt. wounded. irreparably damaged.

[bebest]

Is English tea more mysterious than regular tea. Is it bitter? Questions we must always ask!!

There there. Poor baby.

I'll give you more words of comfort and encouragement if you tell me what that cryptic message was about. Or I can draw my own conclusions and get REAL obnoxious about this in about two seconds.

Your choice!! Tick tock. Tick tock.

...I have a sizable number of antique rings on display if you ever wish to come take a look at them.

Flying winged rats are not allowed in my store.

[fionnuisce]

oh, it's been handled. that'll teach me to try doing anything on my own and trust i'm not being stalked by matrimonial rodents.

[kowase]

...Ah, I see. You were a victim.

You have my condolences. And my annoyance. I am more than sure there has to be some sort of ethics violation around this.

Force-Wedding people... What a mad concept.

[youwouldntdownloada]

Flying rat pom-pom...

Hey wait!

You said it was nothing!

[WAVER WHATS THE RING FOR

WAVER

DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE HER ON READ WAVER]

[fionnuisce]

yeah, it was

nothing you needed to worry about

crawls back from a week of fruit trays oh god I did not expect to leave this hanging so long

[youwouldntdownloada]

It seems a little important?

Did you tell Ritsuka about this? I feel like I would have heard something if I did, and since I didn't, that means you never told her, and that feels like something she should hear from you directly?

[AREN'T YOU GUYS FAMILY BASICALLY???]

[prunedworlds]

you mean the moogles?

did they do something?

Guess who never suspected what was going on.

[fionnuisce]

yeah, 'something'. you can definitely say that.

[prunedworlds]

what happened??

[jackdawvision]

Oh, mate, I’m sorry.

Want me to bare my chest at Zulius so he won’t be as furious with you?

[fionnuisce]

As hilarious as I admit I would find that, I doubt it's necessary.

[jackdawvision]

Oh, good, then he’s reacting better than I thought he might. I was ready to take my shirt off—far less ready to attempt to talk Vergil into it.

But I shall take your advice under consideration and be certain to go in disguise if I ever need to purchase rings. I’ll send you both some wine.

i!

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose may not usually be perceptive, but she's started to appreciate Zulius' love of gossip. And when she spots Waver in town she correctly (19) identifies that something is amiss.]

[Why is Waver being so secretive? Why are there moogles everywhere? She needed to know the answer.]

[So, when she sees Waver duck down an alleyway, she strikes. Look, she's innocent here. An angel, really. Not up to anything at all.]

What are you up to?

[fionnuisce]

Shh-

[Quickly gesturing for her to keep her voice down, Waver reached out to take Rose's hand and tug her out of sight.]

Are those damn things following you?

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose shakes her head.]

[She's in.]

No. I hate moogles with a passion, the last thing I'm going to do is let one tail me.

But they are following you, correct?
