Eyes On You [Open]
Denny wasn’t exactly the most recognizable guy in most circles, but that changed when it came to surfing and fishing. Back in the day, he competed fairly often and honestly was pretty popular. But the fame wore him down, and he ended up in Leuda.
No one should have recognized him here. He was free from the past. And yet... How did it come to this.
Someone was calling out to him.
“H-huh? Me?”
Ashes to Ashes [Open]
The sight before Cliff would haunt him until the day he died. His job, his secondary home, Celestia Church - it was nothing but ashes. He balled his shaking hands into fists and sucked in a trembling breath. It still smelled of smoke and fire.
He had hoped he would be able to get there before everything had burnt to a crisp. He had been wrong.
“Just once... can’t something go right?”
Hot [Open]
Work hard, play hard. It was a little rule Karen had picked up over the years, and one she followed closely. Today was no exception. She had her pants rolled up so the wet deck of her ship wouldn’t dampen them. Her shirt was left undone, revealing a lacy black bra. That was to keep her cool.
She wiped the sweat from her brow, a grin spreading across her face. “That’ll do.” She didn’t bother to button up her shirt but at least put on boots before the captain made her way down to the pier.
Next stop? To get some food, of course! Then she could enjoy herself however she pleased.
“Maybe I can get some more wine!”
Occupying Space - Open
After napping on the boat ride over (safely, thanks to Topaz, the new guide dog she’d finally managed to get), Karina felt wide awake when the Moon Viewing was getting started. Normally going to such an event seemed too troublesome to Karina, but now that she had Topaz, she felt a bit less stress about it. Besides, it was nice to get out of her apartment every now and then.
Of course, that didn’t change the fact she hadn’t planned ahead and asked anyone to meet her there, but she figured she could get lucky and stumble upon one of her friends. If not, it wasn’t like she was going to lose out. She could always find a place to take a nap.
After wandering around for a while, looking for a nice place to sit, she ended up coming across a park and ended up wandering to the nearest bench. There was only one person sitting on it, so there was plenty of room, but she figured she should at least ask before interrupting someone.
“Mind if I sit down? (It looks like you found a good spot...)”
A Perfect Jewel? || OPEN
The day was snowy, and Xiao was just getting off from work at her new job at the Bell Hotel. The first day went well! She had managed not to break anything, which was....a good thing, since they might be seeing more of that. She could only hope they were forgiving; as she would always be willing to replace things if that were to happen......or, just maybe she could gently leave a note that she shouldn’t be around dishes. She put her snow hat and gloves on, as the evening was making it even colder now, and began to make her way home. As she walked though, she had a thought- why not make a detour? She really wasn’t tired, and she didn’t have much to do at home...
Her eyes glimmered as she caught sight of Charde Jewelers, and she stopped and looked at the shop. It wasn’t much of a detour, since she passed there on the way home. She had to admit, that she had glanced at the shop before, and had wanted to go in....but, had always been a bit shy. She loved jewelry, but not only would she be a bit self-conscious in a place where you’re analyzing whether things would look good on you or not, but others were standing around watching as well. And another big thing was money...would she have the money for anything in there? After all, she had just started her second job, and that pay wouldn’t be coming in for a little while. But....going in even just to look couldn’t hurt, right? Because if she really wanted something, she could always come back if she didn’t have the money for it now. She took a few steps closer to the jewelry shop, finally reaching the door and pausing again. She almost got the guts to open the door when she felt a tap on the shoulder instead, and her her eyes widened a bit, and she quickly turned around.
“Oh! It seems I am very sorry, I did not mean to be in your way...!” She said quickly. Oh god, she must have looked like such a fool, just standing outside of the shop like that! She didn’t even think about how she could’ve been blocking someone’s way in. She stepped to the side, so that the person could walk in ahead of them, bowing politely in apology. I can’t go into the store now, not after this person just saw me standing here like an idiot! She thought, a flustered flush spreading across her face.
Somethin’s Shady || OPEN
The androgyne lavender-haired boy sighed, making his way back home after a long night. He almost considered going somewhere like the bar to relax, but he decided not to. He very highly doubted he would find much relaxation there anyway, even if the bar was only partially full. Maybe he would have a drink just in his apartment? Jamie walked up to Shade Apartments and sighed. He may have his own farm and ranch now, but he still came home to this rickety place. He would have to have a living space added to his farm soon- living in this rundown building certainly wasn’t ideal. He walked inside, his icy eyes glowing a bit in the darkness. He didn’t tend to drink very often, but sometimes it was nice to take the edge off after a long day. He shrugged a bit to himself, debating in his head whether to do that or something else, until..... He saw someone quite literally just standing outside of his apartment room, fiddling with the knob and holding a key.
“H-hey! Just who do you think you are?” Jamie grumbled, stomping over to the them. “Why the hell are you tryin’ to get into my apartment?” He growled. He wasn’t sure if this was a mix-up or a creeper, but either way, he didn’t like it.
Priestess Returns (Open)
Any time Dorothy had to be away from home, it felt like an eternity. After visiting her father’s newly assigned church, on the mainland, Dorothy felt like all of the energy had been sapped from her. As much as she would miss her family, she still really disliked being away from Arcadia.
Once she had dropped her belongings at home, she felt like the energy was slowly starting to return, and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Fern... L-Let’s give it our a-all again...”
Her voice was barely above a whisper as she slipped out into the warm summer morning, heading back toward her beloved childhood church. She was certain the other members of the congregation had done a wonderful job looking after it, but there was still that silent worry that she would come back to some sort of disaster.
To top it off, she was still unsure if she was even the right person to be taking over the church, now that her father had been moved to his new location. A priestess who had a hard time with public speaking? It just seemed like a bad fit... And yet, she loved the church and the congregation far too much to walk away.
“A-And Papa is d-depending on us....”
As she stepped through the doors to the church, she felt that familiar calm wash over her and she breathed in deeply, taking a moment to look fondly over her sanctuary.
Yes, this was certainly where she belonged.
Stepping forward through the church, it took Dorothy only a moment to notice someone else was inside the chapel, and she instinctively hugged Fern closer as she stepped toward them.
“G-Good morning... W-What brings you h-here so early?”
Ice Cream? - Open
If you were to think that an ancient Univir elder were the type to travel to another island for anything other than the promise of food, you would likely be mistaken. Sure, Kuruna loved to observe her newfound friends, the hornless, but that wasn’t her motivation in this case. She had heard that such festivities normally meant people selling ice cream and snow cones and all kinds of other delicious things.
Really, hornless festivities were pretty darn great for her in terms of the food they offered. Beach day was no exception, as she came to learn.
As soon as Kuruna arrived at the beach, she began her search for food vendors. There was a sea of people around her and that made it a bit tricky to find where the tasty smells were coming from, and she frowned as she tried to get a better look from her tip-toes.
Perhaps she would have to acquire information the old fashioned way.
Walking up to the first person who she came across, she tapped them on the shoulder lightly.
“Greetings, Comrade! My apologies for disturbing your frivolity on such a joyous day! Could you perhaps assist me in finding where I might acquire an ice cream cone?”
