Characters: Eizen (aka Davy Jones) + whoever
Campaign: All throughout the break.
Format: Brackets preferred
Open + One Closed Prompt for Rokurou
Summary: So one very unlucky and unhappy former pirate turned dragon just arrived here. Great.

Option One: Library Time

[So after the initial "what the fuck I was just turning into a dragon and now I'm not" freak out, Eizen just made his way to the library. Not needing to do things like eat or sleep, he fully intends on camping out here for a day or two to read up on whoever this "Davy Jones" fellow is. Of course, being Eizen, he's going to totally end up camping out here for several days.

This means you might find him when he first arrives, pursuing the books on sailors and nautical stories and picking out whichever ones look most relevant. Or maybe you spot him when he's been here a day or two and now has The Little Mermaid, the story of Urashima Tarō, and a book of general sailing superstitions. He's pretty okay those first few days, and won't get testy if interrupted. Later, though, you might see him with books on dragons and a lot of empty drink bottles. Be wary around him here.

Either way, if you pass by you will probably have a book fall on your foot. Reaper's Curse and all.]

Option Two: Power Testing

[At some point he gets dragged out of the library and gets directions to the ocean. He's a pirate again, after all, and he's super curious about what he can do. He's figured out he can summon alcohol and that he can summon a small tidal wave that's a few gallons at most, but he has no idea what else he can do.

He's sitting on a rock, looking over his journal and talking to himself.]

...if I get into the water, I'll probably drown. Then again, maybe I won't...

[He looks up, and if you're nearby he may call out:]

Hey, can you swim?

Option Three: Closed to Rokurou:

[A continuation of this]

It'll what now?

[Eizen just looks at Rokurou like he's crazy. This isn't Phi's compass, there is no way this thing is that attuned to him already.]

Option Four: Wildcard!

[Come at me]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Losing your hearing already? [He gives a cryptic smirk.] Just hold it out, you'll see.

[Eizen just raises an eyebrow, but he digs out his key and holds it in his free hand.]

Well? I'm waiting.

[Of course, that's when it starts to glow and tug him along. Eizen stumbles, nearly dropping his drink.]

[And he laughs as he more casually follows along behind.]

Get ready for a crazy road trip. It likes taking the long, scenic route.

[ While Velvet has only been here a single day, a girl does need supplies for her new house out in the woods and it's also a good opportunity to explore the city. Most importantly, Velvet needs to find a replacement for her sword because it apparently didn't come with her. She has no idea if the powers that be just decided a Wolf doesn't need an actual sword but that's not the kind of wolf Velvet is.

So that is definitely priority one while she's in town today, though that gets waylaid at the sight of a familiar figure and equally familiar voice. For the moment, he doesn't seem to realize Velvet's nearby. Maybe not surprising considering he's ingrossed in his new journal. Not to mention that her wardrobe has changed drastically. To go with the new set of clothing, Velvet also has a pair of black wolf ears perched on top of her head and an equally dark fuzzy tail hidden beneath the layers of clothing fluff.

She approaches the pirate malak from behind, catching him before he notices her. ]

I could always push you in to find out. Though if you sink like a rock, I'm not diving in to save you.

My entire life's been a road trip. This will nothing.

[He says as he's being tugged along by a key.]

Where's your place, then?

[Eizen yelps, actually yelps, and nearly falls off his rock.]

What the--

[He turns, eager to punch, only to stop halfway.]

Velvet?

Out in the woods, a little ways out of town. It's by the river, though, so I can actually stay out there on my own and sustain myself if I wanted. If there was a tavern I'd be set.

So better hope I don't live in the woods near you. Got it.

[He is not going to be your personal tavern, Rokurou.]

...is there a tavern in the town? I didn't get a chance to look.

[ Seeing as how Rokurou dropped out of the sky and attacked her first thing, she almost readies herself for another fight with an old ally. But then Eizen aborts the movement so Velvet allows herself to relax.

A few more steps allows her to stand next to him. ]

Looks like I'm not the only one this place has dragged here recently. Rokurou surely would have said something when we met yesterday if he'd known you were here too.

[Eizen straightens up, relaxing a bit as Velvet comes closer.]

Or he was too hungover to remember. It's good to see you again.

[Sort of.]

Wow, that's a little harsh to say to someone you haven't seen in centuries.

[But he's not offended, instead laughing because yeah. Probably for the best—he wouldn't want to be too close to that curse of his, either.]

But there are a few. I can show you the good ones later.

Yeah, and you know the last thing I said to you? "Now you have to go and get your own damn booze."

[And there were some emotions when Eizen found out Rokurou was dead, but.]

Is the tavern free?

[ Her gaze goes over the water and shrugs. ]

Probably more like he got in a good fight with me and then had a drink to celebrate.

[ Yes, the two of them fought. ]

It's nice to see some familiar faces around. On one hand, it feels like I just saw you all yesterday and yet not at the same time.

[Eizen is so not surprised.]

It's been centuries since I've seen any of you. The only one of us that might still be alive is Magilou.

[And the normins but they don't count.]

[ At those words, her eyes cut to him and narrow. ]

And Laphicet?

[ Don't tell her that the kid is dead. Especially not if Magilou of all people is still alive. ]

Still doing his job as the new Fifth Empyrean Maotelus.

[Which, come to think of it, Eizen doesn't think Velvet knew about but honestly, he sometimes forgets who might know what. Especially when it comes to people who were sealed away with a bratty empyrean eight hundred years ago.]

[ There's a clear relief at those words with the way her whole body relaxes. ]

Huh, I didn't know he'd done that.

[ Nope, she was already sleeping peacefully at that point. ]

Did you ever go see your sister afterwards?

[Eizen nods, turning to look at the ocean.]

Yeah, I did. Not very often, but there were a few gifts I had for her that needed to be given in person. She doesn't know, though. [About his dragon problem.] I could never tell her.

[He just laughs.]

Sounds like something you'd say. But a bit ironic given how we meet again and you're able to make some. You're like my own personal alcohol fountain now. [Meaning he is totally going to go to Eizen for some easy booze if he doesn't feel like going to a tavern or pub.]

But unfortunately, no, they're not. Still have to pay up, but it's not too hard to make money. Should even have some already in your bag.

I noticed that, but if I can make my own drinks there's no reason to spend it on drinks.

[Saving money woo]

And if you treat me like your own personal fountain, I'll knock your teeth out.

Hahaha, I was just kidding!

Mostly.

No, you weren't.

[Don't lie.]

I said mostly!

[But yeah, he's laughing because Eizen's right.]

Okay, what if we set up some kind of trade or something? Unless you actually want me to pay you.

Edited 2019-01-17 22:02 (UTC)

That depends on what you can offer in trade.

[Whoop the key is dragging them off towards the river!]

[Oh boy this is going to be fun.]

Well I have improved on my hunting abilities, so if you ever needed some fresh meat or fish I can deliver.
