"I want dessert with peaches in it! Or a cup of fresh peach juice!"

“I...think we can get something with peaches in Gridania? How about a cobbler? I love cobbler myself! And I think I’ve even got some spare gil!”

"I was just eating leaves."

Loire tipped his head to one side before nodding. That was valid.  Many leaves were edible--and perhaps some tasted better than others. 

“Were they delicious leaves?”

Does Misaki exist in your FFXIV AU?

She sure does! My main FFXIV verse's base story is generally the same as my original (SecT). The difference is any needed alterations to fit it into the XIV world (For instance, being placed in Kugane rather than Kamurocho). There's also a difference where, in the end, instead of Shiki continuing the Nishikiyama Family, a new jointed one is started instead, which is the Ikemen Family.

Misaki, her role, and her unfortunate end is still the same. Shikiya still remembers and mourns her, too.

Although I will add that that doesn't stop us from creating and playing her in game anyway, especially for rp situated in the past. Or just for taking snapshots, maybe just to mess around too lmao. This means, if you wish, you can interact with her!

🌹 Where in the world does your OC feel most at home?; 🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy?; 🌺 What does your OC do to calm down when they’re scared or after a nightmare?; and 🌼 Who are this characters friends and found family?

“I’d have to say Kugane. I wasn’t born here, but I’ve lived here for years, always kept a place here, and even though I pop out to Ul’dah a lot to visit Seifer, this is pretty much where I call home.”

“I notice a lot of details about people. My wife dyes a streak in her hair to match the color of moonlight, but she picks a turquoise shade for her nails because she likes bright colors. A guy I met in the Quicksand always picked up his drink with his left hand, turned the cup and drank out of a new spot for every sip. Seifer always flicks his tail out of reach if someone walks behind him. Baby blue reaches up to rub his arm even when he takes the prosthetic off. See, I just like catching those little tidbits about someone that they don’t know they’re telling you about themselves with.”

“Nightmares? Not really a problem for me, but baby blue gets ‘em from time to time and I just talk him back into focusing on the here-and-now, know what I mean? I’m not usually scared because hell, there’s always some kind of story to get out of whatever’s going on, and people are easy to handle. ...all right, okay, fine, I really REALLY get freaked out by ghosts, and that one in Seifer’s house spooks the hells right out of me. Only reason I’ve even gone back to that house is because I haven’t seen it again. If I do, he’s going to have a hell of time talking me outta burning that house down.”

“Let’s see... It’d be my wife, Lulu and our fella, Targur. I call him baby blue.”

“And definitely Seifer, who’s a total idiot, but he’s my kind of guy. I like his wife, too, but she’s real easy to piss off, so I don’t spend too much time with her.”

"Hey! Wanna play a game?" The small, energetic feline skittered toward the other.

Loire’s expression warmed at the sight of the other.  He had been standing there, watching the doorway all morning long.  He was getting exhausted from his own boredom.   “Absolutely!” He said, his head bobbing up and down with a nod.  “Please, I need something to do.” He took a few sidesteps so they could stand shoulder-to-shoulder.  “Tell me the rules.”

"Hey! Wanna play a game? I love games!"

“I love games, too! What kind did you have in mind? Blind Fuath’s Bluff is always fun! Or hide and go seek! I promise I won’t even cheat at that one!”

⋆ - Your muse’s future dream and why; ☮ - How much your muse worries about appearance

“All I ever truly wanted was my own One True Love, and now that I’ve found him, all I can want for the future is the time when he realizes his place in our story and we live happily ever after together.”

“Worry? Have you seen me? I’m gorgeous! I’ve got it all--looks, brains, charm, personality, skills. What’s to worry about when you’re me?”

"I was also told not to hide in crates. But they're so cozy and I feel safe!" Kiria crossed her arms, frowning. Her tail lashed irritably and her ears flattened against her hair. "That old farmer's just mean. He wouldn't spare a drop of milk for me, either." (Your choice of character!)

A chuckle from Nishiki was followed with a playful pet between her ears, much in the same way Shiki did, but with extra spark in it.

“Ah, shit. What an old, grouchy dude. I bet he had plenty of milk to share, too, huh?” he teased as he shifted into a squatting position in front of her. The koi gave Kiria a cheery little tap under her chin. “Hey, don’t look so gloom! There’s no shame in playing inside boxes. As much as people wouldn’t admit it, we all love that kind of shit at least a little bit.”

A pause, a gasp, and then a knowing pat of his fist into his palm.

“I know exactly what you need! Cardboard.”

Just to help the wee miqo get out of her sour mood, Nishiki took her back to HQ. It was a recent move in, so there was plenty of boxes and packaging left over in the basement. It wasn’t very long before an entire play village was built out of the mess. Whichever ‘buildings’ were made of cardboard were extra fun in that holes and doors could easily be torn into it. Nishiki just hoped that playing through them with Kiria wouldn’t cause accidental flesh wounds if she had the claws to do so. There’s nothing more dangerous than playing with a cat through a hole without proper toys after all.

As for Shikiya, he was probably groaning at the back of Nishiki’s mind. He knew he more than likely would end up having to pick up after them. Kiria was probably going to bug him about keeping the whole thing in tact, and, Twelve forbid, be asked to play with her, too.
