magus of flowers.

no matter how far it is, paradise is in my future. a thread of sweet wind is here. an affiliated roleplaying blog for merlin ( prototype ) from fate/grand order. rooming in her own cottage, the mistwood.

[kleinstar]

" Huh? "

Eiden stares mouth agape, eyes all puppydog. No thought seems occurring beneath at first but couple more seconds ahead and the light of recognition turns on somewhere there. Immediately his face brightens up again - it is a friend!!

" Merrr!!! "

" Whoaa it's been ages.... it's like you died and came back to life!!! How's it hanging?! "

[flowercast]

"Has it been? It doesn't seem very long to me!" Then again, her perception of time was way different compared to his. A few weeks or months passing by was nothing but a drop in the ocean when you're basically immortal.

"Now now, what are you saying? You don't seem to hold your liquor too well! You should work on enhancing your tolerance!" Saying that, she conjures a small bottle of water and starts opening it. "Oh, I'm just fine! I'll be even better once you drink this though! Why are you drunk anyway!? Did a date go wrong?"

[kleinstar]

" Hey hey hey hey hey hey!!! "

Someone's chipperly wasted - enough to sling his arm around the first person to meet on street. Clinging pretty heavily too.

" Let's be friends! "

[flowercast]

"Oh, it's you, Eiden! I thought we were already friends!?"

"What, don't tell me that you've forgotten my beautiful face already? How cruel!"

[rebelnightmaren]

"I don't think I've ever walked until now! Why, I've half a mind to track down the fellows in charge of this place and give them a good talking to!"

"... I—If I can make it there, that is."

[flowercast]

"You'll never find them, that much I can assure you. Best to bide your time and hope that they're merciful enough to let you have some semblance of it returned."

"Alas...unless you want to get used to walking, I recommend just saying inside. Though I suppose that would make life very difficult!"

[flowercast]

"Yes, it's true, I, Lady Avalon, can conjure anything out of thin air with but a wave of my hand or a snap of my fingers. So, what is it that you desire?"

[rebelnightmaren]

"Wo.. woooah—! H-hold on... This is what it's like to have to walk everywhere? Really? It's no wonder you all lie down for hours at the end of the day!"

[flowercast]

"You never quite get used to it either. It's a special kind of cruelty to have one's levitational powers stripped from them. Very, very cruel."

[kleinstar]

Did she just .....arrested? And then something about another public disturbance? What kind of person is he talking to again...?

" Yeah, I'd... it'd be better if you didn't? Please don't. "

" Seriously."

Knowing him he wouldn't have any trouble but he just has a bad feeling about this... or just about her really.

" I'd appreciate the check in yes... "

[flowercast]

"Of course! Though you'll have to respect that a lady simply does not kiss and tell, so any and all details if any will be kept completely secret!" Nod nod.

"Well, until then, farewell Eiden! Do expect news soon!" And off she goes, phone in hand plotting her next move.

" Obviously! I'm nothing if not dedicated! "

Eiden huffs hand on heart.

" Right, right?! Totally high spec from all directions! Also super nice and a gentleman too! "

"A --- oh.... Right. "

Come to think of it maybe he should have asked first.... ? It won't bother him too much won't it... Probably not? Not like he had any deeper thought behind this than showing off a hot guy to a likeminded person...

" Oh he owns this club called Euphoria and... he works on a clinic but err... that's probably not ideal place. I mean the whole 'oh doctor I'm hurt please heal me' thing is pretty hot and all but there might be actual patients and... yeah. Err. "

Oops he got distracted there.

" Oh Eiden, err.... don't ... bother him too much though? Ok? He's a good friend of mine so please. "

[flowercast]

"I do appreciate the gentlemanly types occasionally...they have that certain charm about them!"

She's nodding at all of what Eiden's saying, but probably not fully registering it. It's okay, they're both trying their best! "Oh, I agree! Buuuut I'd rather not be arrested for causing another public disturbance..." Seriously, spending another night in jail wouldn't be worth it.

"Oh but of course I won't bother him too much! Lady Avalon will be on her best behavior, you have nothing to worry about! You're a lifesaver Eiden. I'll check in with you! Or won't! All depends on what you'd like!"

[kleinstar]

" What? No! Listen lots of them are just taken or just... not the type. "

" Anyway I'll have you know I'd never take a hot guy for granted! They're my oasis in the middle of desert, a hot treat in the cold of winter --- oh wait. "

Suddenly he grabs his phone, and quickly jumps to the camera roll.

" Err-- oh oops not that one-- wrong folder-- " Too risque! He should move it to the private folder-- He opens another as quick as he did the other one.

" Romanus! That's his name! I think he's free or something like that! And handsome! No complaints now is there? "

[flowercast]

"Wow, so poetic! It seems like you take this all pretty seriously! A fellow comrade then, I judged you far too soon!"

"Romanus, hm..." She took Eiden's phone out of his hand for a moment as she looked closely at the picture. Yep, he was super hot. He didn't disappoint at all.

"Ohoho! No complaints at all from me!" And then she dropped Eiden's phone back into his hands, grinning from ear to ear all the while. "Are there any places he'd usually be or should I just text him and tell him who sent me--who is sending me, actually?"

[kleinstar]

" Um.... I mean no offense I've just met you so I don't really have an opinion...? "

" Ohh mm.... hmm? You mean for a hook up I assume? I have to think about it, I mean I know bunch of people but I can't just throw unwilling parties onto it yknow...? "

[flowercast]

"Keeping them all to yourself, then? Fine, it's not like I don't understand. I just never thought humans would be this selfish in this day and age...how low you all seem to have fallen when you won't even help poor strangers."

"Very well then, keep your secrets. I only ask that you never take what you have for granted..."

[fifthmagician]

alright this one is kinda funny, at first gojo found it a bit annoying that someone was tailing him but now this situation has just turned into some entertainment for him. the other doesn't look like they get teased often, so this is just so hilarious to him. almost anticipating in an outburst from the other woman, that is if she is anything like utahime.

the white haired woman was good at playing dumb, he'll give her that. "well good thing i wasn't bugging you, i don't think i would really enjoy someone randomly punching me in the face." as if she could, even though infinity has been limited for half an hour...at least that would protect him from anyone hitting him.

"please go into detail about interesting i am, don't worry i have all day~" he might be pushing it at this point.

[flowercast]

It's clear that he is used to being the one in control of situations and that he is self-assured in feeling as though he has her backed into a corner. She doesn't often find herself in situations like this where she isn't the one doing the teasing but Merlin can feel herself growing increasingly frustrated at his own teasing of her. "Well I could, but…" she trails off for a moment but finally quips back after giving it some thought.

"I don't think I want to inflate your ego even more than it already is, hm?" He's lucky that she happens to like men like him, although she found them to be…difficult. "Men like you are horrible, aren't you? Teasing innocent women like me instead of getting to the point…" Keeping her here just to entertain himself was so selfish!

…Even if she also often did the same thing to others. "Though maybe if you say please, I'll go into detail about how I find that blindfold of yours to be enticing."

QUEST: queen aleida look, it's the good kush!

A simple enough request, really. Though where to procure the herbs in question was another thing entirely. With no leads, Merlin simply opted to do her investigative work the old-fashioned way: asking around and seeing if anyone had seen the herbs that the Queen wanted in question. Fortunately, she's able to be pointed in the right direction. The path to get there had been easy enough, though tedious to navigate due to the thickness of the forest and general brush.

Finally, Merlin stumbles out of the trees into a clearing and there she sees her prize: the herbs in question, which she hurriedly rushes to gather. Unfortunately, however, there seemed to be only just enough for her to gather as they'd been picked clean otherwise. Probably as a result of other people gathering them early as well. The nearby rustling of bushes causes her to look up from where she crouched down, and she stands with fists full of green herbs as she loudly proclaims, "The last of the herbs are mine and no, I will not be trading them no matter what you have to offer me!"

[imbibitor]

she reminds him of someone, but he can't place his finger on who.

it's not important, anyway. he's come to realize since his arrival here, after all, that the things he knew of his 'home' and the worlds he traveled with the astral express carry little to no weight here.

but he's wary nonetheless.

petting a cat certainly isn't worth exposing himself to identity theft, but he learns too quickly that it was meant to be a joke. he meets the stranger's smile with an unmoving expression, lips pressed into the same neutral line, his gaze only briefly glimmering with intrigue.

"dan heng," he finally opts to say. "my name is dan heng."

moments prior, he'd looked fully prepared to walk away with only a little bit of regret. but he shifts, just slightly; angles his body so he's facing her directly, as a courtesy.

"... and yours?"

[flowercast]

Though he seems very unimpressed by her sarcasm, Merlin doesn't let that deter her at all. She's dealt with the unflinching type, the kind that seems immovable in all things. The cat shifts restlessly in her arms, to which she begins petting it once again to ease it. "Dan Heng…what a wonderful name." Lovely, one that she'll be sure to remember along with his pretty face.

It's clear by his body language that he's only asking as a courtesy, that he's prone to walking away at any moment as soon as what she's saying doesn't suit him. But that's fine, she's gotten the most important thing out of him. "Lady Avalon," Of course, it's not her true name. But with how disinterested he seemed to be, perhaps it'd be better to work up to that point sometime down the line. "A pleasure to meet you then, Dan Heng."

Finally, she holds the cat toward him. "And I believe this is your hard-earned prize for the gift of your name to me."

[kleinstar]

" Yes haha."

Well that's a better reaction than he expected. Eiden gives a thought for his answer.

" Weeeeeeeeeell!"

" You could say that yes! I can't promise anything but it's more than likely it'll attract some attention! If you do it with a sincere heart...."

[flowercast]

"Do I look like a shady person? Of course, I'd do it with only the sincerest of hearts! I take hook-up culture very seriously, I'll have you know. With the utmost respect!"

"By the way, do you have any handsome friends that may or may not be available? I'm taking recommendations! My pool of suitors is running horribly low this time of year! It's because the summer heat has cooled off I bet!" Is she rambling? Yes, sorry Eiden.

[faechivalrous]

"C-cute people...?" Eyeing her down? Oh, no....she really doesn't know if she can handle that. "I--I've never experienced this holiday before, but if that's how it is, then maybe I should sit out..."

[flowercast]

"Nonsense! If anything, it'd be the perfect holiday for you to participate in! Come on, I can even help you find a suitable costume! Don't say no!"

"Oh!!! Well y'know... it's sort of a tradition for October... "

Eiden grabs his phone, tapping out a little to show the the good ol' copy-pasta.

" Err.... "

" I guess you could call it a type of a spell? "

[flowercast]

Merlin peers down at his phone to look at what exactly it is that the people are sending these days and--oh.

Oh.

It's that kind of message. "Cocktober...what a funny play on words. So if I send this to people, then maybe I'll be able to attract some interested parties! Has it worked for you?"
