[asterism-codex]

It was hard to not notice the girl that bounced from display to display; gawking at the pieces that they offered. Rows of dazzling gems and glistening metals bands and necklaces made by yours truly and her father. Yet it was hers that seemed to catch her eye. Her pride would be shown in the form of a meek smile. It was always so satisfying seeing someone adore her work like that.

She wasn’t trying to make eye contact with the girl – or anyone for that matter– but her gaze lingered for a bit too long, inevitably locking with hers. And she knew that look all too well. She needed something.

Her posture straightened and her customer service script rewound itself back to the start.

Aika nodded as the nice lady spoke, doing her best to ‘professionally’ avoid making eye contact even beyond her shades. Recommendations? She could do that, that was simple enough. They had a nice variety of styles, surely they had something that’d be perfect for her.

“M-mhm..! I can do that.!” She scrambled for a small notepad from behind the counter. “Did you have any preferences? Like specific colors, metals or gems.?”

One of the basic questions she asked all of their patrons. While she had no problem brainstorming a few ideas, knowing their likes and dislikes – or even allergies – always made the process a little easier.

[gakkougifted]

"Thank you!!" Mio could tell the girl was shy, but she didn't mind it. She was just happy she was still willing to help her! At Aika's questions, she ponders for a moment before answering:

"Well~! I really like blue gems and colors, like sapphires, blue topazes, and tanzanites, to name a few! As for metals, I'm not particularly picky, but silver is one of my favorite kinds for sure."

Mio hopes her answer will make it a bit easier on Aika to pick out something for her. She trusts she will love it regardless, but anything with some type of blue color or gem, or a silver kind, would be a bonus in her book!

[asterism-codex]

Aika nodded at her answers; a few ideas swirling in her head. Blink and you'd miss the genuine smile break through the polished persona. Coincidentally, blues and silver were her go to as well. Which, honestly, made it all the easier.

"Those are my favorite colors too.!"

She was sure there were plenty of silver and blue jewelry set around the store -- some to her own liking but they sold so she assumed others liked them as well -- so surely there was something that Mio would have liked as well.

"If you don't mind.. I will be right back."

Aika stepped around the sales desk; pardoning herself with a brief bow before making way for one of the display counters. She'd pick between the different pieces that were on display -- glancing back at Mio every now and then -- before returning with a select few. They were simple in design but each held their own in uniqueness.

"O-Okay.! Here are a few I believe you might like. This here is one of our bangle bracelets. Made with .925 Sterling Silver and blue sapphire. It's one of our more popular items as it's- um.. A bit more affordable and the gems are eye-catching but doesn't really a statement piece."

"Then we have our silver and blue topaz rose necklace. The gem is bit lighter in color than our other ones but I do think it's a nice break from what you will usually see for blue gems.. Especially in the summer. The color does shine through a bit more in the sunlight."

"This necklace does have a bigger gem, one of our more deep blue sapphires but it is accompanied by a few dozen smaller white topaz as accessory gems. And I know you said you'd prefer silver but this one is made with 14k white gold so it is going to be a little bit more expensive if that's okay with you.. But it is just short of a statement piece so it will be.. You kno- um.. Yeah."

"And, lastly, we also have our sunflower necklace and earring set. Also made with silver and blue topaz. It's one of our newer ones and a personal favorite so far. We've seen a few others look at this these as well so if you're not too sure now o-or was trying to wait to get another time, that's okay.! I can always make some of these again if we have the materials. And that goes for all of them."

She tried not to fumble over her own words as she went through her sales pitch. As long winded as it was, she didn't think she did too bad but she knows she could've done a little bit better. She motioned to the jewelry that had been set out before holding onto her own hands as she finished.

"If there's any that you'd like to try or have any questions, please let me know.!"

More of my cannibal girlie

[asterism-codex]

"So... What do you think?"

The glint in her eye wanted an answer, an honest one but not one that'd hurt. Experimenting with her fashion style was something she had been wanting to do for a while now. Comfort came in the shape of brand-friendly black sweaters and the occasional blue or pink blouse(s). But she wanted to try something new and, well.. She was a bit of a fan of the 40s fashion.

Reid spun in place, letting the polka-dotted skirt twirl along with her before curtaining over her legs once more. She'd tuck her lip in between her teeth, holding back the bits of excitement that threatened to pour over. Almost as if she was waiting for approval to be happy in the dress.

"Does it look decent?"

We can’t all be chronically online/present just because you are & we don’t owe you anything. Thats not being supportive thats being controlling.

STAGES OF A RELATIONSHIP

Prompts for stages of a relationship. Feel free to change any pronouns as needed and adjust however necessary. Some may be usfw.

ACQUAINTANCES

❛ I swear I’ve seen you before, probably in a dream, or a mugshot. ❜

❛ Is this the part where we shake hands or just nod awkwardly? ❜

❛ You’re not as scary as people said. Yet. ❜

❛ We’ve met before, right? ❜

❛ I will forget your name in five minutes but I will never forget your aura. ❜

❛ Sorry, I don’t think I caught your name last time. ❜

❛ You seem familiar. Do I know you from somewhere? ❜

❛ Sorry, I’m terrible with names. I’ll probably call you “Hey you” forever. ❜

❛ So are we strangers, or is this the part where we overshare? ❜

❛ If we end up on a group project together, I’m not doing the PowerPoint. ❜

❛ So… what do you do? ❜

❛ I’ve heard about you, but this is our first time talking. ❜

❛ I don’t know much about you, honestly. ❜

❛ Wow, you talk. I thought you were just a background extra. ❜

❛ How do you already look like you’re over this conversation? ❜

❛ Don’t take this the wrong way, but I can’t tell if we’d get along or kill each other. ❜

❛ It’s weird finally putting a face to the name. ❜

❛ If you had to pick one Pokémon that describes your vibe, which one is it? ❜

❛ Do you come here often? ❜

❛ Oh cool, another NPC come to give me a side quest. ❜

❛ You look like you have main character energy but, like, season one when everything’s still a mess. ❜

❛ Small world, huh? ❜

❛ Sorry if I seem awkward, I’m not great with strangers. ❜

❛ You look like you know what you’re doing. ❜

❛ Wait, is this the start of a rom-com or a crime documentary? ❜

❛ You seem like someone who knows where the snacks are. ❜

❛ I have no idea who you are but I respect your vibe. ❜

❛ Are you new around here? ❜

❛ It’s nice to finally meet in person. ❜

❛ We don’t really know each other yet, but… I think we could get along. ❜

❛ Well, that was an interesting first impression. ❜

❛ Do you mind if I sit here? ❜

❛ I feel like I should know more about you than I do. ❜

❛ So… do we pretend we don’t know each other, or do we pretend we do? ❜

❛ Wait, are you the person I thought was a coat rack last week? ❜

❛ Oh, you’re taller than I imagined in my head. ❜

❛ You don’t look like a serial killer. That’s a good start. ❜

❛ You’re so easy to talk to. ❜

❛ Honestly, I didn’t expect us to get along this well. ❜

❛ Why do we always end up in weird situations together? ❜

❛ If we had a sitcom, it’d be canceled after one episode. ❜

❛ I don’t know if we’re friends or just two people who roast each other a lot. ❜

❛ You make me laugh so much it’s suspicious. ❜

❛ I can’t believe we just spent three hours talking about nothing. ❜

❛ It’s been a while! I missed this. ❜

❛ Let’s do something spontaneous. ❜

❛ Don’t worry, I already told everyone we’re a package deal. ❜

❛ You know I’d never let anyone else see me like this, right? ❜

❛ Okay, but if we’re friends, I get the cool nickname rights. ❜

❛ I trust you, you know? ❜

❛ You’re a good friend. ❜

❛ Thanks for always being there. ❜

❛ I don’t laugh like this with anyone else. ❜

❛ I feel like I can be myself with you. ❜

❛ You’re stuck with me now. ❜

❛ You know I only text you because I’m bored, right? ❜

❛ People think we’re weird. I think they’re right. ❜

❛ Are we just best friends, or something more? ❜

❛ You’re my favorite person. ❜

❛ If someone annoys you, I’ll just stand behind you and glare. ❜

❛ You’re the peanut butter to my extremely allergic jelly. ❜

❛ If I ever die, you’re responsible for deleting my search history. ❜

❛ You’re always the one I run to. ❜

❛ If we get married to other people, they’re just going to have to deal with me third-wheeling forever. ❜

❛ You know we share a brain cell, right? ❜

❛ Best friends? Nah, we’re a cult of two. ❜

❛ I like you more than food. That’s serious. ❜

❛ I’ve never been closer to anyone than I am to you. ❜

❛ What would I even be without you? ❜

❛ Do you think we’re too close for just friends? ❜

❛ If anyone ever hurts you, I’ll destroy them. Emotionally. And maybe financially. ❜

❛ I can’t tell if we’re ruining this or making it better. ❜

❛ Should we come up with a safe word, or just wing it? ❜

❛ You know, for something casual, this is alarmingly fun. ❜

❛ I’m starting to suspect this friendship isn’t very platonic. ❜

❛ No one has to know. ❜

❛ Is this Netflix and chill or like, chaotic energy and mild regret? ❜

❛ You know this changes everything, right? ❜

❛ If anyone finds out, we’re both dead. ❜

❛ Are we gonna debrief this like a business meeting? ❜

❛ Tell me you’re not catching feelings. ❜

❛ You’re addictive, you know that? ❜

❛ Why do you exist? Genuinely curious. ❜

❛ I’d rather hug a cactus than be civil to you. ❜

❛ If you vanished, I’d throw a party. ❜

❛ Please, keep talking. Your nonsense fuels me. ❜

❛ You ruined everything. ❜

❛ Why do you always have to be here? ❜

[asterism-codex]

🔮 going to the fortune teller (with Alestria and Mare in their Genshin verse?)

Things to Do in October: Starters

“I appreciate you coming with me for this.”

Alestria nodded towards the other melusine. Her paws awkwardly straightened at her blazer, still unsure if her kind of attire was appropriate for this kind of ‘meeting’.

Humans’ desire to know the unknown was as fascinating as it was silly. Fontaine’s historical texts always told of such captivating stories behind their discoveries and at times she found it admirable. But the want to know something as fluid and ever-changing as the future…

Her curiosity of their curiosity had gotten the better of her. But, well, she had no idea what she was doing.

[asterism-codex]

Closed Starter for @lordarbxter

“Remember to watch your footing! You’re getting too close to it!”

Chikako’s voice boomed over the small chaos that surrounded the young adventurer. Longsword vicegripped with both hands, they’d try their best to follow her guidance and fend off a few hydro slimes: swinging with practice, parrying with an idea, and attempting to not trip over their own feet doing so.

Even with their initial hesitance, they were never in any real danger, not while under the blonde’s sharp watch. Chikako was meticulous in the way that she’d train the new and aspiring – the threats of Teyvat were harsh and unforgiving, having them be prepared was a must! And while they were not nearly as sure of their combat skills as she was, they believed in her whole- er.. Almost wholeheartedly.

“You’re doing great! They look pretty wounded, you can finish them off,” she’d encourage.

From her distance, she’d watch them reclaiming their bit of composure before starting to slash at the slimes that surrounded them; each one of them popping in defeat. It wouldn’t be long before the adventurer would stand alone in their personal battlefield, drenched but victorious. Their eyes would brighten at the realization and would turn to Chikako with a fist held high. In the excitement over their victory, they’d fail to notice the rift that started to form right above them.

[asterism-codex]

"Hey, Chouko! Wanna go out together sometime?"

Rock, aka The Most Normal Guy on Tumblr

"Raikkun!!" Without hesitation, Chouko threw herself at her boyfriend; arms high and wide to wrap around his neck. It hadn't been long at all since she last seen him, dare you say even a day, but it always made her happy to see him. Even moreso to hang out with him.

"Of course! Whatcha wanted to do? Did you have something in mind?"

[rockandfriendsrebooted-deactiva]

"We could maybe walk around a park or stroll around town or something. I know my hometown has a little riverside park that Anzu and I used to relax at when we were kids." Rock suggested, hoping it'd be enough for Chouko.

[asterism-codex]

She, being so easy to please, softly gasped, "You know I love a park."

There was always so many different things someone could do there, and it's always been her go to play place whenever she didn't have much going on.

"Mm... but would that be okay for you, too? We should bring something for both of us to enjoy. What about a picnic? Those are always fun!"

[rockandfriendsrebooted-deactiva]

"Of course! We could bring a picnic lunch... or I could bring my guitar or Walkman and play some tunes for us!" Ideas flowed into Rock's head almost as easily as the river by the park he mentioned to Chouko. Growing up in Shiromizu, he knew plenty of ways to make a fun date in his small town environment.

[asterism-codex]

“Ohh!! And I can bring my camera and my games!”

The excitement in her eyes shimmered brightly as they spoke. They were simple plans and ideas but those were the best, in her opinions. Easy to follow but gave them plenty of wiggle room for something more throughout the day.

She couldn’t count on her hands the amount of times she’s thought to herself how lucky she was to be with someone who was just pretty outdoorsy like she was. Or at least was willing to be.

“Sounds like a good plan, don’tcha think?”

[rockandfriendsrebooted-deactiva]

"You had me at games."

Granted he was thinking of video games, and who knows what Chouko was thinking of? Still, the idea of sharing one of his favorite pastimes with her excited him, and that was enough for the musician to get excited about the idea.

[asterism-codex]

“Coolio! Then how about we meet back here in an hour, okay? I’ll be back with the picnic stuff, how does that sound?”

This was the perfect time to show off her newly practiced cooking skills. The foods that she had in mind were simple: sandwiches, a cheese and cracker board – oh and maybe she could grab a mixed fruit and veggie platter on the way home – and a couple of juices or sodas for the two of them. It hasn’t been too long since she’s last been on a picnic but, either way, she wanted to go all out. The whole nine yards.

“I got games like mario kart, mario party and overcooked on my switch. But if you have any requests, you can text me.

"Mario Kart or Smash or Pokemon sound good." Rock smiled. "I could bring my Switch over as well and we can duke it out. But don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're my girlfriend!"

He chuckled. "Okay, meet up in an hour. Should give me plenty of time to grab my stuff and meet back up with you."

"Gotcha gotcha!" Chouko would tug on Raisuke's shirt, ushering him down to give him two quick kisses on the cheek -- the first for now and the second for the road.

"I'll see you in an hour, then!" She'd smile. The hand that let go of him waved goodbye as she'd disappear from view, all too eager to see him for their date later.

Nezumi, rather uncharacteristically, decided to not be very helpful and just shrugged her shoulders. Weren't they going to check up on Ichi? She just went back to picking at the Pear in her hands, ignoring the other two as she kept her attention elsewhere.

"Hm, maybe when I'm in High School I'll join a robotics team. Maybe they'll have the things I need, or at least know other people where I can find heat resistant metal. There are plenty of other things I can try in the meanwhile, though. She's pretty small, so sometimes I need to help her maneuver around the forest. And, like, I dont mind, but it'd be nice if she could more easily move around the forest on her own in case she needs to. I was thinking maybe something that let's her swing around like a grappling hook. Not her arm though, it'd mess up too many things trying to make that stretchy. Maybe if I make her tale stronger it'll allow her to spring around more. Like Tigger."

She quite liked that funny little Tiger. The thought of Nezumi being able to bounce on her tail like a spring also amused her quite a bit.

"Mhm...!" She mindlessly nodded, Lily's rambling going through one ear and out the other. It was starting to become harder, delaying what she had originally set out to do. And if even Nezumi wasn't going to throw her a bone then.. Would there ever be a better sign?

"I'm.. Going to go check on your sister. I'll be back and we can talk about more about her upgrades then." She shoved the remains of her granola bar into the pocket of her shawl before sliding her way back out of the chair. Her arms felt like they had been trembling but physically, they were as still as ever. But she'd nod to the younger sisters and would make her way further into the house and up the stairs leading to the second floor.

Pan'd have to apologize for roaming through their house like this -- she'd try not to look through every room in the upstairs -- but she'd venture forward.

"Welcome to our orbit, PN7! I hope you enjoy your stay."

How interesting, she wonders if government officials will consider studying the asteroid. The odds were more than likely and it made her wonder just what they'd find.
