“Ahh- it’s no problem, really! Don’t worry. We can just…uh, head over, if you want. I just need a break from this heat…then I’ll be alright.”

     The two head down to the underside of the village, Mona breathing a sigh of relief when she feels the cooler air on her skin. They sit at the bar, and Mona smiles shyly at the other.

“So…you really are the real deal, huh?… I hope this isn’t…weird for you or anything. I’ve just…been out of the loop lately, haven’t been caught up with the news…”

[requiemofshieldknight]

Shield follows along with her shield above them until they enter the bar, setting it down and climbing onto the adjacent stool with a smile.

“I sure am! I’m as real as real can get.” She laughs, glancing down at her hands. “It’s a little weird, seeing as though everyone’s assumed I was dead and yet… here I am! In the flesh and separate from Shovel Knight…”

There’s a slight bitter tone in what she says before she shakes it off.

“You’re not the only one out of the loop. Believe me…”

     Mona orders a berry juice when approached by the bartender. It’s nice to actually be served for once... Still listening to Shield Knight, but not looking her in the eyes in favor of looking at her own reflection in the other’s armor, the alchemist is quick to perk up and finally share eye contact with the other when Shovel Knight is mentioned. She respectfully lets the other finish talking before responding herself.

“Aha...well, I mean, I’d figure that more people would have...known about your return...? Apparently...they just...forgot? That must not’ve been...a very warm welcome. I’m sorry about that.”

     A pause.

“Um...so...you said...Shovel Knight? Yeah. Heh. I’m...close to a few members of the Order, and...he was a big thorn in their side. Since he’s not here around with you...what’s he up to now?”

“Uuuuuuuuuuugh…”

     No amount of alchemist genius and water could make up for this…this sweltering heat! Mona feels as if she could faint any second, as she explores a meagerly small part of the Lost City for ingredients. Very rare ores and stones only appear here, and with the constant eruptions wracking the place, sediments are constantly melted down, mixed, and hardened again.

     An ideal location, if she could handle heat any better. 

     Minions would be much better suited for this kind of job…but Mona had always been curious about the place Mole Knight so diligently guarded. Ever since the Order was defeated, the knights within the group became notably docile, so she took that as an opportunity to do a bit of mining for herself. When she returns to the village, Plaguey better treat her to a few days of well-deserved rest…

     For the last few hours, she had been carefully bombing into walls, searching for precious minerals, cautious of bringing any massive chunks of rock down upon her or the site. It’s been a miracle that Mole Knight hasn’t shown himself yet…there’s no way he couldn’t be hearing these explosions…

[magmaclaws-archive]

The spelunk- alchemist had been very lucky. The fiery Mole Knight must have been away from the City during the time she had spent there. Such bombing and ruckus wouldn’t have gone unnoticed for long. Suddenly, like a small earthquake, a rumble approaches trough the dirt. It’s strong, and furious, and it could only be caused by one thing.

With a burst the Mole Knight shoots out from a wall and lands with a heavy thud on the cave floor, his visor quickly turned to face the other. “Hey, you! Stop that immediately! Do you have any idea of where you are?!”

[melancholicalchemist-blog]

     Yikes! So he was here after all. The emergence of the clawed knight gives Mona quite the scare, jumping back and shielding her face at the rocky debris produced by the knight’s arrival.

“Ah, so you are here... I was wondering if you’d ever show...heh...”

     She can’t muster much of a chuckle or even a smirk, merely a weak smile, for the heat and hard work has seeped much of what little energy she has out of her body. 

“Of course I know where I am...! I’m here to do a little...excavating... Ingredients don’t come cheap and easy, Moley. Would you care to...help out a bit, so I don’t end up accidentally killing myself here? Whichever way, I won’t be here for much longer...I think I’m literally dying from being down here this long... How can you stand it...?”

“Oh, uh, of course. I didn’t mean to…attract any unwanted attention. I’m pretty good at doing that, heh.”

     Mona grins sheepishly and looks around at the several pairs of peering eyes.

“Uh…anywhere you got in mind? I’m fine going anywhere…preferrably indoors, though. I might just faint any second out in this heat… 

I was supposed to be getting my errands done, but…the sun’s way too much for me to handle. I’m not quite used to it yet. Ugh…I must look sort of gross out here like this…sorry about that.“

     While speaking of the wretched heat, she waves a hand in front of her sweat-slicked face to blow some air in her direction. 

[requiemofshieldknight]

“Oh, it’s fine! Don’t worry yourself about it.”

Shield smiles and glances around, humming thoughtfully.

“We could always go down to see the Juice Maiden… it’s always very cool down there. Along with cool drinks! Cool drinks are always a good thing for hot days like today.”

She takes a mental note of Mona fanning herself, frowning for a split second before,

“If you want, I’d happily help you with your errands! I know how bad the heat can get, and it would be of no problem to me.”

[melancholicalchemist-blog]

“Ahh- it’s no problem, really! Don’t worry. We can just...uh, head over, if you want. I just need a break from this heat...then I’ll be alright.”

     The two head down to the underside of the village, Mona breathing a sigh of relief when she feels the cooler air on her skin. They sit at the bar, and Mona smiles shyly at the other.

@melancholicalchemist [[ I need to draw Mona more tbh..

[melancholicalchemist-blog]

Never have I ever tested a potion on myself.

“...Are you joking? That’s...the most obvious thing I would do. Try to find some tougher questions for me...more creative ones, too.”

     With a small yawn, she lifts a shot glass filled with potent something to her lips and downs whatever it is quickly.

[askdragonbladetalon]

Send NEVER HAVE I EVER + an action and my muse will take a drink if they’ve done whatever you list.

     Mona lifts her head from the allure of the pieces when she sees an armor-clad knight approach the stand out of her peripheral vision. She looks back down after the acknowledgement, but quickly does a double-take when it dawns on her who that knight really was. She stands straight up.

     Was it…?

“Hey…! Um, aren’t you…Shield Knight?”

     What a stupid question. She’s holding her shield, you imbecile. She stammers and looks down to the side.

“You…I-I, uh, thought you…”

     What? Died? She’s standing right in front of you now, so…

“What…happened? If–I could ask that, of course. I…I was imprisoned in the village for a long time, so I…never caught word of your return. Your last great adventure…all I know is that it didn’t…go so well…”

     Mona looks back up to make eye contact with the knight. Shield Knight looks just as grand as she remembered from years before…surely she was able to triumph with no problem! Just look at her! Perfect!

[requiemofshieldknight]

Shield’s title being called made her jump in surprise. Someone actually wanted to talk to her? That’s definitely a shock. She hesitates to turn and look at the one who called on her, smiling instinctively.

“Wh-why, yes I am! The one and only Shield Knight!”

She laughs, ducking her gaze at the increasing amount of eyes on her. C’mon Shield, don’t start getting nervous…

“We-well, you see, ah… I…”

She fumbles for words, not exactly sure how to explain herself to Mona. Especially not around strangers who were sure to spread rumors after what she says.

“I would love to tell you my dear- truly, I would! But there are too many eyes on us at the moment so perhaps we could go somewhere that would be less likely to draw a crowd…?”

“Oh, uh, of course. I didn’t mean to...attract any unwanted attention. I’m pretty good at doing that, heh.”

     Mona grins sheepishly and looks around at the several pairs of peering eyes.

     While speaking of the wretched heat, she waves a hand in front of her sweat-slicked face to blow some air in her direction.

Guess: whether or not her ideas will work.

Guess what keeps my character awake at night.

They can only answer yes/no.

No.

...Well...huh. 

Sometimes.
