first spark ✖ act ii scene 6 + sub quests

[hatesviolence]

Characters: Shizuo Heiwajima | Frankenstein's monster; Kazuma Asougi (Disciple) | Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde; anyone
Campaign: Hollow Christmas Carol (Act II)
Format: [ brackets ]
Open
Summary: For the most part he's just milling around the festival, being delivering a few presents, and trying to help keep the kids off the tree. But he's also been set as Ebegeeser for the proposal scene, so. That's gonna be interesting.


[When Shizuo wakes up to find himself in a completely different out and learns he's to play as Ebegeeser for a scene involving a marriage proposal, he can only stare at the text and then just. Slowly close the journal. And wonder if there is some mistake. For one, he definitely cannot act. That's his brother. For two, a proposal scene?? And it's apparently with the Disciple... This has to be some messed up joke. How is he supposed to even do this?? He barely knows anything about the character or the story, just that Ebegeeser is some guy out to steal some other guy's girl, and neither guy really seemed all that great??

Well. He has to wait until after the party, and he's just. Going to avoid the Disciple because this is already boat loads of awkward and he needs to mentally prepare himself. So time to busy himself and see what he else can do to help (and hopefully be far less embarrassing).]

I ✖ The Gift of Giving
[It seems to be the Christmas holiday and Shizuo is familiar with the concept of playing Santa. Not that he's ever done it himself, but the idea of giving presents to others makes sense. And if doing so will help keep the place safe, then he's all in. He's going to grab a few from under the tree and make his way outside. It's strange how weird everything looks... There's more color, but now he feels as if he's in some old colored movie instead of real life.

Anyway, off to make his first present delivery! —And he's soon going to realize he probably should have brought a bag to hold these in, especially when one "family" starts reaching for the remaining gifts.]

Hey, it's only one per person. The rest have to go to other families, too, you know.

[But oh man, this blot child is a whiny bugger and is about to throw a tantrum. Shizuo has patience, but... Not this much. He's doing his best to keep it in, but when he just tries to ignore it and turn away, and the blot child latches onto his leg? Sparks are literally starting to fly as he grinds his teeth.]

Get off, begging ain't gonna get you anything! [MIGHT BE SHAKING HIS LEG A BIT. Someone should probably help and step in here...

If he's not having issues with the families, he will also be found punching a few of those Erasers, particularly any that are encroaching on either the families or the manor. And by punching them, it's more like he punches them and they're sent flying high into the sky or out somewhere deep the woods. Hopefully one doesn't fly out towards anyone for collateral damage.]


II ✖ Protect the Tree
[Inside, Shizuo just kind of sticks to the side, keeping out of everyone's way. It's not that he's not enjoying the party, but he's just not exactly the sociable type. Just being part of the fun is enough for him, and hey, this punch is pretty good!

But of course, it would seem that he's going to be dealing with a lot of bratty children during this time. When he hears something crash and break, he turns to see those gremlins ripping off the decorations and smashing them. What the hell, fake children or not, don't they have any manners??]

Hey! [He's quick to get there and just lifts the children high up from the back of their shirts.] Don't break things that don't belong to you!

[And now there's more of them?? Oh hell man. Even though they're not real, he's not about to punch a kid (although it's tempting to grab them all and dump them in a room). So instead he chooses what he thinks is the best option. He sets the kids down away from the tree, and.

Just picks up the tree and hoists above his shoulder.

DOES THIS COUNT AS THE TREE FALLING—well things will still flicker a bit around them. He'll put it back down, but those kids have to get away. And...not suddenly crowd around him and try to climb him OH GOD WHAT THE HELL THIS—]


III ✖ Scene 6: A Strange Proposal [Closed to Disciple]
[When the time does arrive, he just sighs, reaches into his vest pocket where he had found the ring before, and looks around before making his way through the main room. Now where is the other guy... Is he going to have to search outside?


WAIT HE'S GOT IT. Just going to scribble something into the journal directed to the Disciple.]

Hey. It's Shizuo. You ready to do this scene thing?


IV ✖ Wildcard
[Shizuo is pretty much a wallflower, so feel free to pull him out to be more festive in the party or join him for some idle chatter. Can hit me up on Discord or laenavesse for any additional plotting o/]
