Day 309 [Open]

[dontyoujustwish]

Who: Anya, Ibuki, Patchouli, and anyone else!
Open: Open! Mostly.
When: Day 309
Where: All over the Bastion
What: SNOW!
Format: I'll match
Warnings: It's Anya.

[For Ibuki and Patchouli]
[Sometime after lunch, Anya takes off to look for two of her best lady friends with a spellbook under her arm and some key ingredients in her pockets.

She's quite cheerful about it, a little oblivious to whatever else might have been going on lately. Cheerful, and insistent. She will track you down.]


[Open to All]
[Later in the day, Bastionites may be surprised to look up and notice that... it's snowing. Not only that, but the temperature has dropped.

At least in the more southerly parts of the Bastion. The farmlands might get a few sporadic flurries, but it isn't cold enough there to stick.

So if you've been missing snowmen or snowball fights or any of those activities that require winter to happen, now's your chance. It's probably not going to last very long.]

((OOC: And feel free to just use this post for mingling!]

Oh didn't I tell you? No refunds. And no take backs.

[She kisses him on the lips once more, soft, as if she's suddenly gained a fear of hurting him]

Besides...[She trails off and then shakes her head. Her expression shifts from amused to curious to awkward in a matter of moments] Wait, nefur mind.

[polariity]

[Her own shift has him go 'quiet' too, and he looks vaguely worried. There's a part of him still certain he's fucking up, after all.]

wh4t

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[She shakes her head at his worried face, leaning in to peck his forehead]

Don't look like that, it was just an awkward thought. Mostly about time, nooks, and...[She gestures her hand out, in a motion that help no one and explains nothing]

Do you still...?

[polariity]

[There's a pause and a squint as he looks at her. Either she's making about as no sense as to be expected, or his connection with her is worse than even he thought. Maybe even both.]

wh4t

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

Oh nefur mind, Psii. It was a dumb and unimpurrtant thought. [In her exasperation, she started punning again. She cuts off any smart remarks about that with a kiss.] Let's get you upstairs and warm. Properly warm.

[polariity]

[The kiss is very successful in distracting him from any biting commentary about puns, and he's in a pleasant daze when she pulls away.]

[If you know what he means, eeeeeeey]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[She smiles and shakes her head at his constant innuendo. This was life with Psii. She'd forgotten. What a ridiculous creature he was.]

Come on, you idiot, or that kiss will be the last for the night. We're only halfway up at most.

[But he's floating back up to his feet anyway.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

Purrobably but will you take the chance?

[She pulls herself back up to her feet and reaches for his hand as she starts back up the stairs.]

[polariity]

truly 20 cru3l

[But honestly, for all his jokes, it's probably still a pretty good idea to just go along with her up the stairs. Health, or... something.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[She nudges him a little during their walk back up the stairs, but doesn't really reply. He can act silly all he likes. Once they're inside, she nudges him to their room]

In the pile mister. Want anything to eat? Besides oranges?

[polariity]

[Just as he was starting to form the word 'oranges' in the air, too. There's a pause as he goes to bury himself in the pile until he can peer out with slightly glowing eyes.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[She laughs at his peering eyes, smiling and moving to pull out the pot from their thermal hull. Luckily she had some made already and didn't have to go through the time intensive process.]

Generally speaking. Generally. Let me heat it up.

[He's just sayin'. But yeah, he's just going to work on restoring body heat or something in here, don't mind him.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

Whine whine whine.

[Maybe she said it three times and not two just to mess with him, who's to say. Either way, it doesn't take long to warm him up a bowl of soup and grab a handful of jerky for herself. Folding herself down onto the pile with hot soup in one hand and food in the other proves slightly difficult and eventually she just holds out his soup and waits for him to take it]

I knew I should have made two trips. Here, before I spill it all over myself.

[But no- instead he takes it with a buzz of psionics and pokes his head out with just a little bit of reluctance. Lazily and ignoring the spoon, he sticks his tongue into it.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

Not if you want me to stay in the pile with you. Oh jeez, just use the spoon. I thought I was the purrbeast here.

[She bites off a hunk of jerky and settles deep into the pile. A feather pokes her back but it's nice sort of poke.]

I was going to ask if your nook worked still but I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to ask when kissing you on the stairs.

[polariity]

[Just to be a nuisance, he just sticks his face further into the bowl. For added annoyance- slurping.]

[It stops quickly, however, at that question, and he pulls back looking unsure. The answer takes a bit of time to formulate.]

merci dear

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[She isn't quite looking at him, feeling a little awkward for asking. She just takes another big bite of the jerky]

I don't think it would stop or anything, i just--sorry it was a rude question.

[polariity]

6ut wh4t 1f 1t h42??

[He's actually starting to get worried about this now. It's not like they have anyone who really knows troll biology to look over this, after all.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[She's about to be sarcastic, but he seems genuinely worried. At least a little bit. She pulls him closer for a second, putting the bowl to one side so he doesn't forget it and suddenly splash them both.]

I'm sure it's fine. But I can check if you want. If not now, later.

[She kisses his cheek and along the edge of his jaw.]

[polariity]

[That does seem to reassure him a little bit as he leans into the reassuring feel of her rough lips and just the faintest feel of fang.]

[Or maybe he's just retreating into ridiculous bullshit to comfort him.]

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

[The noise that she makes is equally parts annoyed and exasperate. Carefully but forcefully, she pulls him onto her lap, facing away from her so she can wrap her arms around him and put her chin on his bony shoulder]

I'd bite you and see if that helped but I feel like the last thing you need is more scars.

[She kisses his neck quickly and nips at the shell of his ear] That counts toward my kisses debt. I'm counting it.[The noise that she makes is equally parts annoyed and exasperate.

[But his head is flopping to the side anyway.]

how did i even screw that up so great in the last tag

[disciplewhomsignlessloves]

Not cheating at all. [She nuzzles along his neck and pulls him tighter. Gently she bites his ear, not enough to break the skin but enough to be painful if she pulled away] Mn--[She lets go for a moment] I'm pawsitive your nook works fine. And if I thought your poor body could handle it, I'd pail you right now just to prove it. Clear?
