August Event Log


August Event Log
Dominant Element: Fire
Waning Element: Wind

Full Moon: August 8th - 10th


It's summertime in the city, and it is hot. With the fire element's presence, the month of August will be spent in sweltering heat. Nearly every day is sunny, with the sun constantly shining down on the city. At least it's not humid and stormy like July, but it's definitely the kind of weather you wanna take care to stay in the shade and keep hydrated.


Dungeon Gates

Since the start of August, there have been new gates appearing outside the city's barrier. Dungeon Gates, which normally are native to the Korean pennisula, are gates that are full of various types of monsters. Should any of these gates be left alone for a week, they will experience a "Dungeon Break" in which the monsters will be able to cross into Kaisou proper. As such, many app users and other combatants have been working hard to get these gates cleared as quick as possible. Luckily, they got plenty of rewards to be found if you brave the dangers, and throughout the month rumors spread about those rewards. There's even a pretty extreme rumor floating around that a special dungeon gate contain ingredients for a potion that can cure any ailment... though one wouldn't be blamed for not believing such a rumor.

While most of these gates have been rated low to medium difficulty, in the middle of August, a singular gate with extremely high danger level has been detected by Zodiac. As per the agreements made by the Black Order in exchange for their copy of the Jumanji game, Zodiac will send out a heads up to the Guardians about the gate- with expectations they deal with it. Of course, while the Black Order are given a heads up- there are plenty of other folks who have also been keeping their eyes peeled on the gates, and will be prone to join them.

[OOC Note: If you are part of the Red Gate Team, your log is over here! Otherwise, if you want to turn in gate threads for materials and/or points, it can be done so over here!]



Let's Hit the Beach!

For those not looking to spend these hot summer days having monsters attempting to eat your face- there's plenty of other options! For those looking to cool down through distraction, the Kaisou Fair is open throughout the month! At the fair there are all sorts of fun things to do: rides both tame and scary, various fair exhibits, carnival games, and of course a whole plethora of fair food - both the traditional and the cursed. Enjoy yourself some funnel cake! Or some pickle cheesecake on a stick! Or maybe even some alligator mac-n-cheese sundae... whatever that's supposed to mean.

Kaisou Beach is full of activity at this time of the year, with a section quartered off for some ocean swimming if you want to swim through the waves to cool off. You can also tan on the beach, or enjoy the various food truck offerings that have pulled up on the beach. It's definitely a good way to spend an afternoon!

And if you're looking for something more, or just to get away? Well, you're in luck! The owners of El Nido (a bunch of human sized sparrows) will be sending out flyers advertising their resort! This month, for only the cost of bird seed, you can enjoy a full week vacation at their resort. El Nido is located in a spirit realm gate near Kaisou Beach, and is a realm that is a virtual tropical paradise. So much so that the weather, while still hot, is just more pleasant to be in compared to Kaisou's sweltering heat.

Enjoy seaside hotel rooms with full room service, the pier side amusement park, and just the perfect relaxing vacation to get away from all your woes. During the day, the resort will provide all the items you need to have a fun day in the sun - such as buckets for sand castles, lounge chairs, giant umbrellas, sunscreen, snorkeling gear, surfboards- basically whatever you can think of that'd be great for the beach? It'll be there. They will also have food vendors that'll provide ice cream and umbrella drinks for you to enjoy.

During every evening, they will set up a bonfire party on the beach on the beach. These parties will include a large bonfire, a massive buffet spread worth of tropical foods, live music with a dance area, and an offering of fireworks that anyone wishes to set off. You can also head to a quieter part of the beach, and enjoy stargazing on such a perfectly clear evening.

Should you wander too far from the resort, you will happen upon a cursed pirate ship. There are lots of fences and signs indicating that this is very much a cursed pirate ship and you absolutely should not go on it. And thanks to a particular Welsh Pirate... they have also added a sparrow attendant who will make you sign a waiver making it clear you very much understand they are not liable for whatever happens if you ignore all their warnings. Which... if you do? Enjoy spending your week vacation on a dangerous pirate venture. Remember, you were warned.


The Spirit Bathhouse

In addition to the flyers to El Nido, any non-human (including monsters) or possessed folks will be receiving a formal envelope with an invitation inside. The invitation will announce the opening of the Spirit Bathhouse. It's a place made for beings of the Spirit Realm, where spirits and magical creatures can go in order to be cleansed and relax away from the human world.

Should you choose to go to the Spirit Bathhouse, the gate entrance will be located deep in the forest of Kami State Park, down a seemingly abandoned road near the Amat Hot Springs and through a stone tunnel. As you pass through the tunnel, characters will find themselves unable to take full human form - rather reverting to any monster form you may have to at least some extent. Once on the other side of the tunnel, you'll be greeted with a pier and a long expanse of water. During the day, there's not much you can do besides swim in the water or fish. But at night? A riverboat will come to pick up anyone waiting on the pier and take them across the water.

Once you reach the other side, the riverboat will unload the passengers into a Japanese-style fair ground, full of stalls that is serving a wide assortment of foods that spirits would enjoy. At the far end of the fair ground and across a bridge is a massive multi-story bathhouse. Here, so long as you brought money (preferably gold), you'll be treated to the spa treatment in their public baths. Attendants are available to help you get clean, or otherwise you can just have your own relaxation time- maybe catch up with other folks who've chosen to visit. Almost on any given night, there's a wide array of various beings that are there to enjoy the Bathhouse. If you wish for more privacy, you can certainly rent out a side room in which you can engage with a private bath there, or simply have a meal with you and any companions you wish to spend time with.

Of course, there's more to benefit from partaking in these baths than just an enjoyable and relaxing time. The Spirit Bathhouse is meant to cleanse, so any characters with ailments, especially corruption or magic-based afflictions (such as the flaws Energy Build-up, Healing Pain, or Become Shadow) - will find that these baths will temporarily alleviates or ease the symptoms to an extent. It's not a cure, and the alleviating effect only lasts about three days before the effect wears off... but it's still pretty good.

After your first visit to the Bathhouse, you will find that a quick travel option has been opened up on the Libra app- allowing you to quickly get to the bathhouse without needing the riverboat. However, it'll only be accessible during their open hours at night.

As for folks who are purely human... they will find themselves dealing with a different experience. Many of the beings in the Spirit Realm greatly distrust humans, so a human that wishes to go will have to accompany a non-human that can both vouch for them and promise to keep an eye on them. Spirits who are visiting the bathhouse will often give them a wide berth, sometimes being pretty open about how they don't like humans or their smell. And while they'll take their money and allow them to use the bath? They'll find the attendants much less willing to give them the five star treatment. Finally... humans who linger in this realm will find themselves start to fade if they don't eat something from the realm.... however, the food must be offered to them by a non-human. Should they take food that wasn't offered to them first? They will find themselves starting to turn into a pig.

Try not to think about all the pork items available in this realm. Please.



Aftermath

No matter how you spent the last month of summer, expect it to be a rather peaceful one! El Nido and the Spirit Bathhouse are here to stay, though the Dungeon gates will stop manifesting by the end of the month. Enjoy capturing your own summer memories, as the hot days continue on. After all, knowing this city? You should enjoy these breaks when you can, as they certainly won't last.





OOC Notes

The dominant element this month is Fire! Anyone with an affinity to the fire element will find themselves boosted throughout the month. This could mean a boost to their power, having more energy, feeling more inspired with creativity, having better luck on different attempts -- the boost can manifest in all sorts of different ways. By contrast, anyone with an affinity for Wind will be experiencing the opposite. Perhaps their powers will be weaker, they have less energy, they're having a creative block or general worse luck - again it can manifest in all sorts of way and players are free to play with this mechanic as they'd like.

The original OOC plotting post for this event can be found here.

Feel free to use the catch-alls if you want to make a quick top-level prompt, or to make your very own toplevel if you have a bunch of specific prompts you want to do!

Arjuna | Fate/Grand Order | OTA

[personal profile] eternalsolitude 2025-08-14 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
1.//-- ( Gate Crashing ) | closed prompts, but ota prompt too \\
i. closed to ritsuka+yasuho

[ ever since he'd started living in Hyrule along the other, the appearance of monsters and other things that didn't respond to any sort of action save for violence was starting to become a norm. Gandiva, which had shown up on a tree outside as if it'd always been there, was his trusted companion once more--However, without the magic of his quivers, he had only six of the strange, twist-headed arrows to his name and had to retrieve them once he'd run out. It made things a little more difficult to use his usual rapid fire, but he was managing just fine. The arrows were sturdy and didn't break on impact with the enemy at least.

He's barely contained his excitement as he and Ritsuka stand in front of one of the 'lower ranked' gates--one that even someone with only some power like him could handle--but getting to fight against creatures threatening the planet felt... right. A part of his life that was missing. He turns his head to regard Ritsuka with something of a smug smile on his face, fingers gripping the strap of his substitute quiver he now carries on his back. ]


I am ready when you are, --Ritsuka. [ he's getting better about not calling her Master, at least. ]

ii. closed to gilgamesh

[ after what was likely a very comfortable success on his first foray into the gates, he's found himself at another one. This time his companion isn't Ritsuka--but instead a rather smug-looking golden man who looks entirely bored--as if being here is more troublesome than it is anything else.

But gods forbid he let someone like Arjuna challenge him to a battle of skill and get away with it.
The energy emanating from inside this gate is a little stronger than the one he'd gone with Ritsuka into. And maybe it's just the Archer being cocky about his first success, or needing to show up the golden king who barely looks like he wants to lift a finger here--but he doesn't yet realise he's in way over his head.

Yet. ]


Am I to assume you have access to your golden gates, or did you really come here completely unarmed.

iii. ota

[ even after the... incident with the gate with Gilgamesh, Arjuna will still go inside other gates--though he'll stick with the D and C ranked ones for the rest of the time they appear in the city.

He's learned his lesson and he's not quite ready for something stronger than these. But he's still determined to aid the city in clearing out the monsters--likely because of the loud voice in his head telling him he needs to help as much as he can. ]


2.//-- ( At the Fair ) | ota

[ never in his life has his senses been quite so... assaulted by the variety of smells and scents that it currently was. he knew that America had its bad reputation with strange and unpalatable-looking foods, but this was something else. Ritsuka had invited him to go to the fair, and while he was most certainly interested in what a 'fair' even was--he wasn't ready to be met with words like

pickle pizza
fried butter balls
python kebab
'Elvis' on a stick
chocolate covered scorpions
fried pepsi


he's... staring, with complete disbelief. ]


Are... you sure any of those things are actually food? Or are they just... meant to attract attention while having actual food to consume...

[ hello, please help he does not want to know what elvis on a stick is ]

3.// - ( Cats hate Baths ) | OTA

[ Someone was being loud about wanting to visit the 'bathhouse of the spirits'. A certain Passenger in his brain claims to have been at bathhouse run by witches and spirit mediums before--and as a god, he's always been treated sooooo well by them. Surely, they would recognise his son as being someone worth serving, right?

Arjuna was against it, honestly, having heard the rumors that humans weren't welcome in the bathhouse of the spirits, but given Someone was giving him a headache as they complained loudly over and over, here Arjuna finds himself at the entrance to the bathhouse.

....as a very small, six legged kitten who could fit in the palms of your hands.

it seems that even crossing into the bathhouse means losing human form--and if Arjuna had known that, he'd never have come at all and would have just ignored indra's incessant complaining and stayed home.

So now, here this tiny kitten is, trying to weave its way through the crowd and not get stepped on as he tries to figure out a way in--or honestly, a way out.

Maybe he can find someone who might recognise him. His voice alone should be enough, right? ]


Don't--do not step on me, I am right down here.
Had I a good set of legs like yours, I--

[ oh there comes a big line of frog-like spirits. He's doing his best to get the hell out of the way. please help him. ]

Lycaon | OTA (Job is Beach Edition)

[personal profile] paraselenic 2025-08-14 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[1] County Fair | OTA

[He told himself he wasn't going to go to this, and he is still standing by the pact he made with himself to not try anything deemed too inedible. But after Edward's review of the Pickle Cheesecake he has to at the very least witness their existence.

He could not be any more disapproving of some of these. Alligator Mac n' Cheese...and Buckeye Lemonade??? If Rina was in this lifetime, she could very likely be narrowed down as the consultant for these dishes.]


I cannot fathom how anyone thought peanut butter and lemonade were a good combination.

[2] Beach | OTA

[It's the last week of his PTO, and Lycaon did promise Zulius that he would make sure to use it for relaxation. A day at the beach seemed like a good way to spend it. Despite it still being relatively hot, he doesn't seem to be sweltering as much under his fur. And he seems to be dressed appropriately for the occasion too, sporting a nice open floral shirt and some white slacks, complete with a solid icy blue neck scarf. A small child had hailed him down to give him a giant red hibiscus flower to put in his hair as well, and...well. He couldn't refuse.

He's mostly just watching the waves roll by, enjoying the occasional wind that flows through his fur as he closes his eye. He can mostly be found under the large umbrellas, and if you happen to be sitting there--]


Would you like a drink? I would be happy to get one for you. [Small tasks were relaxing in their own way.]

[3] Bonfire | OTA

[The crystal clear waters of the beach at midday were fine and all, but Lycaon always felt more at home in the nighttime setting, and the bonfire on the beach has lured him to watch its glow while leaning against a palm tree, quiet and content to lose himself in thought. You're free to join him here as a chance to wind down from all the excitement of the past month. A lot sure has happened.

OR

There wasn't much light pollution here, so with the sunset starting to wane and the moon starting its nightly watch, he can be found walking along the water's edge of the beach, head held up and staring at the moon's glow. It was a Waning Gibbous, a time for introspection, and a time to be grateful for what you have. He certainly wouldn't mind the company should someone join him.

Apologies if he bumps into you, though.]

Even if this was, supposedly, a low-level gate, Ritsuka came prepared. She was wearing her uniform mystic code, her ever-present magic bracelet, and had a few more things stashed away between pockets and hammerspace slots, just in case. On top of her own powers and knowledge. Maybe it was just habit, of taking any threat at Chaldea, no matter how minor, seriously, but better safe than sorry.

In any case though, she nodded to Arjuna.

"Right. We can go as soon as Yasuho gets here..."

Lycaon | OTA (Bath Edition)

[personal profile] paraselenic 2025-08-14 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[1] Entrance | OTA

[Jokes on you, he's been furry the whole time.

The idea of a bathhouse made just for the paranormal was certainly interesting, and it had been quite some time since Lycaon had allowed himself a good soak. Holding that invitation in his hands as he walks through, his ears twitch to and fro picking up on the spiritual energy of the place.

Perhaps Lycaon invited you if you're a good friend of his, or you met at the entrance and are looking at the stalls together. Either way, he holds himself with the highest dignity as he walks along. Sometimes, soaking in the sights is just as important as soaking in the water.

In his hand are some gold trinkets he'd picked up to use as payment. He knows what the spirits prefer.]



[2] Baths | OTA (with closed alternatives)

[Have you ever physically felt fatigue leave your body? It's amazing how it can happen when it comes to hot water. Lycaon slides into the hot spring, letting it go up to his chest as he tilts his head back to let the water and steam work into his muscles and joints. It was like all the stress he'd accumulated over the past month was now being soaked away. His legs are thankfully waterproof and heatproof, so he doesn't bother removing them for something like this.

The idle sounds of chatter catch his attentive ears, as they swivel to pick up certain bits of conversation. It's not eavesdropping if you're yapping, you know?

That said, you are free to join him or say hello.]

(closer CR is free to have been invited by him or free to write a private bath too if they don't want to listen to the chatter and have a private convo)

Baths

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2025-08-15 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[It'd been far too long since Jun got the chance to enjoy a bath like this. He's relaxing not too far away from Lycaon, looking like he's in complete bliss as the warm waters ease his muscles. A pair of long green fennec ears sit on his head, along a red gemstone on his forehead and patches of patches of green fur on his body. He's got his tail, but only the tip of it is above the water, lazily resting against the bath wall. Besides the usual bath attire, he's got a cloth that's been wrapped around his right bicep- don't worry about it. ]

Ah... this feels so nice...
paraselenic: icon by me dns (23)

[personal profile] paraselenic 2025-08-15 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[The feeling is mutual, Jun. With him being a full wolfman, there's not many places that accommodate his unique situation of being a wolf outside of any transformation. It leads to mysterious wolf fur in hot springs, people insistent he 'remove his hooded shirt', and not even mentioning the lack of amenities.

Hearing that sigh, his ear swivels in the direction it came from, his one eye opening. Ah...he was correct. It was Jun after all.]


I agree. It has been too long since I've been able to enjoy this. I'm glad to see you have fully recovered, Jun.

[A pause. He does notice the slight changes in his appearance. It's not that he didn't know Jun was a werewolf--that piece of information had been provided to him. But... how does he put this.]

Ah, so the picture Harumasa sent me was correct, after all. You do have the features of a Fennec Fox. [A. Fennec. Fox.]
whiteshroud: (jun82)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2025-08-15 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm? [He'll open up his eyes to notice that Lycaon is there. Not that he minds at all, he'd just been off in his own little world] Ah, Lycaon- nice to see you. And yep! I'm as good as new.

[Incredibly so, as it doesn't even look like there's the least bit of scarring on his chest, despite him getting shot.

His ears do droop some at Lycaon mentioning the fox, pulling near his head. This again.]


Yes, it's just one of my forms. I've been using it more often recently, so I suppose that's why my form changed to this when I came into the realm. That's all.

Mollymauk Tealeaf | Critical Role | OTA

[personal profile] mauks 2025-08-15 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
( i. ) CLOSED TO CALEB WIDOGAST / I DON'T LIKE ANYONE BETTER THAN YOU.
[ he can't remember the last time he had gone to a bathhouse. the last time he's allowed himself to strip down and soak until his fingers start to prune up. this is as good as time as any, how could he say no to such a delicious invitation? the only problem is... going alone isn't nearly as fun as bringing someone along for the ride. so naturally that someone had to be Caleb Widogast, human wizard extraordinaire.

second problem arose pretty quickly after that, whispers of the spirits having little love for humans. naturally the bastards would still take their money from them, but they'd likely treat any human guests like utter dirt during their visit. not the smartest business decision, in Molly's opinion, but if they try to give them any trouble he'll happily return it in kind.

by some miracle he managed to convince the wizard to come along, giving him his coat to wear in an effort to make his friend smell less human and more Mollymauk. a gambit that proves successful on most of the inhabitants, the spirits who see through his clever disguise receive a low growl and warning in infernal before they're able to make any sort of comment. he doesn't think about how all of it would look to Caleb himself, not as he books them a bath in a side room and a couple of fruit platters for later. so he's a little protective, that's not weird is it? ]


Here we are! [ it's a sizable room with a bath big enough to easily fit at least five people, the soft smell of salts and herbs filling Molly's nose. all at once that protective, dangerous air about him vanishes with a toothy grin and the immediate removal of his boots. ] I know you're still doubting me, Magic Man. [ he is in the middle of removing his shirt when Molly turns toward Caleb, his gaze pointed. ] But ignore the idiots out there and enjoy yourself for once, yeah? I bet money you haven't allowed yourself to have a good soak in long time.

( ii. ) OPEN / CAUSE I'M ALREADY HIGH ENOUGH.
[ even amongst the spirits and other visitors of the bathhouse, Mollymauk Tealeaf stands out like a sore thumb. be it because of simply being a lavender tiefling or for other reasons, it is impossible for him to go utterly unnoticed.

it's totally not because of the little bits of chaos he spreads as he move about the place, definitely not that.

perhaps you find him chatting up one of the attendants, or skilfully swiping one of the herbal tickets from a grumpy frogman complaining about humans, or performing some sort of balancing act dressed in nothing but a towel, or maybe you find him drawing increasingly comically sized dicks around the place in the spirit of a friend he recently remembered. either way Mollymauk Tealeaf is about the bathhouse working hard to make the place just a little better than how he found it. ]

[Technology is incredible. The wonders of modern surgery never cease to amaze--no he can probably guess there was some high end healing at work there.]

And I take it Harumasa made sure that you didn't break out of your room? [His lips curl into a smile as he rests his head back.] I'm glad. It seems like everyone is recovering well from that incident.

[Himself included. Those puncture wounds on his back and arms have become scars hidden under his fur, as if they never happened.]

Ah, I did not know you had multiple forms... [Phew, he didn't want to have to get all wolfist and try to gently educate. His own ears flick amusingly.]

Though looking at you closer, a fox is not correct. The red gem you possess... you are a Carbuncle?

In one of the baths, there was a hyena. One of the larger baths, that was, considering it was a hyena that was roughly the size of a horse.

For the most part she was largely snoozing, mostly submerged with her head resting on the ledge, and generally determined to try to relax. If approached she might look up and gesture at the rest of the bath with a wet paw.

"There's still plenty of room, if you want."

... Somehow, despite everything, she still managed to sound mildly disgruntled about it all, though.

[he'll chuckle and roll with it]

Mmhmm, he did. You know my brother, always big into following rules. [It's a lie, they broke out together. But Jun's no snitch.] Yeah, it's a relief. What about Lycaon? How have you been feeling?

[Physically Lycaon didn't sustain as many injuries, but he had some. Plus, he was clearly distressed what went down with Luke]

Three of them- four if you count human. [Might as well count it, anyway] But you have a good eye, I am a Carbuncle! Not many people notice that - I usually get mistaken for a pokemon.

...Is he now. [That tone and the way his voice lifts at the end, it's like Jun practically gave it away.] Well, I'm glad you were such model patients.

[But at the inquiry about himself, he takes a look at his arm, smiling a little at the progress it's made.] Physically I am completely healed. While I don't think the scars will go away, they are covered by my undercoat. [Emotionally he's still grappling with the shock of the Marionette's memories, and still some lingering guilt over Luke, but he's been quite a bit better.]

Had it not been for the red gem, I may not have realized. It's a very distinct trait they seem to have.

Though I can see why people would make the connection. Pokemon do tend to follow the same pattern of having one distinct trait like that. Come to think of it, I have yet to meet anyone who has a Pokemon transformation.

[Little bits of chaos are healthy, okay.

Lia wasn't really sure what she was going to find in the bathhouse, but a series of dicks being drawn in places wasn't one of them. She can't quite help her chuckle as she finds Mollymauk in the middle of drawing the latest one.]


That'll be a fun surprise for someone to find later.

[Entrance]

[It really feels like stepping into an old story, the kind he used to hear from his grandmother before she passed. Long before he learned that magic was real, that these creatures existed and that they often have such a difficult time living in a world even less made for them than ever.

He never imagined he would be one of those creatures himself, but when he steps through the tunnel, the magic washes over him and shimmering white scales spread across his skin, horns sprout from his head, his long draconic tail uncurls leisurely behind him. He usually conceals these features when he's running his shop; being unable to hide them is both discomfiting and freeing.]


Well, then...shall we?

[What a marvelous place...

He's going to take his time wandering through the shopping stalls, looking particularly for any interesting plants or herbal concoctions that might be for sale in such an unusual place. Although he doesn't have any ready source of gold, before coming here he has taken the time to manifest a handful of small gemstones that he suspects might serve just as well.]


[Baths]

[He's not going to be shy about soaking in the public baths, especially when it lets him keep an ear to the local gossip. Still, the most important thing is just the relaxation. He's been working hard on certain side projects lately, and could use the break before diving into anything else. So for now, he's fully settled into a hot bath, hair unbound. An attendant offers a brush meant for dragon scales, and he accepts it willingly, testing the stiffness of the bristles against his scales a little bit at a time.]

I really don't spend enough time in this shape, do I? I should try to get out and about more often.

[ truthfully, if asked what exactly drew him to do this he wouldn't be able to properly explain it. he had been minding his own business wandering around the place when suddenly he could hear the voice of his fellow tiefling echoing in his head. 'draw dicks on the walls, Molly. do it, do it, do it.' it would do her memory a disservice if he didn't do it. and so began his self appointed mission of drawing dicks throughout the bathhouse.

he chuckles at Lia's approach, tail swaying side to side happily as he finishes his latest creation. ]


Won't it just? [ the lavender tiefling turns to look at the woman, grinning like the cat who caught the canary. ] I found myself possessed by the sudden and inexplicable need to brighten up the place, you know? What better way than to hide a few dicks here and here for people to find.
blossominghopes: (Use them and let's start trying)

[personal profile] blossominghopes 2025-08-15 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She returns his grin with an impish one of her own.]

There's probably a few other ways, but hiding a few dicks for people to find certainly sounds the most fun to me right now~ [She snickers a little.] ... Want some help?

[Of course, Caleb hadn't heard of this place until it was brought up to him, since humans aren't invited. And the fact that humans are specifically not invited to this place, and that unlike most of the people on this application by now, he is fully human with no ride-along or other additional features, was no small obstacle.

But Molly asked him, and he likes Molly. He wants Molly to be happy. He wants to learn how to be closer with Molly, now that they've met again in this life.

So, he might be a little bit of a pushover where Mollymauk Tealeaf is involved. He's been huddled inside Molly's coat this whole time despite the warmth of the place, doing his level best to conceal his face and be as inconspicuous as a person can possibly be in such a vibrant garment.

And then they're through the gauntlet of the social space and into a private room, somewhere they can relax and avoid anyone's judgement except for their own. Slowly, his shoulders come down from around his ears, and he shrugs off Molly's coat (even such a loose outer garment is far too warm), folding it neatly to set aside on a bench.]
It's not you I doubt, Mollymauk. But they out there are quite clear that they wish for a space free of humans, and who am I to intrude upon that?

[But technically they have their human-free space again now, so long as he's in here with Molly. Boots next. First boot, first sock, carefully stuffed into the first boot so it doesn't get wet from the floor. Second boot, second sock, flexing toes against cool tiles.] ...I would be a fool to bet against you there. It's true that I don't make a habit out of this sort of thing.

[There are no words. He's just simply going to come up from behind, the soft metal clanks of his heels possibly heard (13) amongst the chatter of the other guests...

and place one of those washtubs on the Tiefling's head right between his horns as if it were a rack for the thing.]


I was just looking for a place to put this. Excellent.

Do I?

[ it takes less than a second for the look of utter glee to spread across his features. it's one thing to be committing little crimes of chaos on your own, it's another thing to have a partner in said crimes is even better. it makes it even more disappointing that he couldn't find a permanent marker anywhere around the place and having to settle for whatever he could get his hands on. ]

My dear, I would love for you to accompany me on my quest of chaos. [ he holds out a spare pen he found. ] The name is Mollymauk Tealeaf, Molly to my friends and I dare say we are friends now. So please, call me Molly.

[A little black (dark blue?) Holland Lop peers out from its sleeping place as comically sized penises (penii?) are drawn on the wall beside her shelf. Her nose twitches with amusement, and she inches closer to watch.

Then:]


Whoa, I've only seen dicks that big in hentai fanart.

[Lia's grin widens as she takes the proffered pen. When he introduces himself, her expression lights up a bit in recognition of his name.]

Oh! Hugo and Lycaon both mentioned you! It's wonderful to finally meet you, Molly! I'm Lia. Lia Brooks.

[She twirls the pen in her fingers.]

So, where to now?

If they really wanted their space free of humans they wouldn't be accepting their money. [ the shirt is removed and tossed haphazardly at the nearby bench, a stark contrast to the way that Caleb carefully folds and put aside his own clothes. his boots, also, find themselves tossed toward his shirt in a similar manner once he finally freed himself of them. ] Ah, but dearest capitalism even has these poor paranormal creatures tightly in her grasp. So they must complain about the very bed they made themselves.

[ leggings come off right after and... ah, well... is it really a surprise that Mollymauk goes commando sometimes? it shouldn't be. just as it shouldn't be surprising how comfortable he seems to be all but stripping down naked in front of another man. within mere moments the tiefling has completely freed himself from his ostentatious outfit and climbed into the bath, sinking down into the hot waters with a sound that could only be described as a low moan. ]

Oh, fuck yes. Feels like I've died and gone to heaven. [ poor joke but he doesn't care. ] The water is amazing.

[ he knows the clank of those metal heels (14) and is about to turn to greet their owner when thud─ a washtub is place upon his head, pressing against his horns and Molly grits his teeth with the sudden weight. but he keeps steady (19) balancing the new addition effortlessly, muscle memory of those two years in the circus in his past life quick to lend him aid.

his tail lashes out to slap at Lycaon's thigh (13) in retaliation. ]


Hey! The horns are sensitive you know!
