I. AROUND AIFARAN - Getting The Perfect Shot! This month in Aifaran, there's a contest being held on the popular social site Xa Xa, which Earth-based Dreamfolk may recognize as vaguely Instagram-like -- it's all about the pretty pictures! With a top prize of 500 Rhinn per category, lots of people are getting into the game. Prizes will be handed out for awards like Best Composition, Most Creative Angle, Best Use of Lighting, etc, and this means that it won't be uncommon to see people in unusual places (even some risky ones) trying to score the perfect shot. Maybe they're bumping accidentally into you on the street, or slipping off the edge of a rooftop, or not paying attention to that train heading their way?? II. BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR - Surprise Petsitting?! Success! You've scored a quiet day, and you're just about to settle in for a marathon of your favourite Tears of the Ocean Heart episodes when there's a knock on your door. A very distracted looking Castian is standing there, talking away on his yimo, and beside him, a very fancy Inan on a glitzy harness and leash. "Right, right," the Castian says to whomever he's talking to. "I'm just dropping Ruqhina off at the sitter, I'll be there in ten." Shoving the leash at you, he announces, "Thank you again for agreeing to watch my darling Ruqhina, I really appreciate it. Don't forget to exercise early in the day, she likes eating energy of active people only, I don't want her on a lazy person diet. Did you change your hair, I thought you had blue hair? Well nevermind, I have to get going, I'll be back in a week. Goodbye sweetheart, Daddy misses you already!" And then he's gone. III. TALENT IS A MISNOMER - You Didn't Need That Wall Right? There are a lot of Dreamfolk in the city, and all of them are dealing with their own newly gifted Talents in their own ways. Some, especially those who are used to extraordinary abilities from their own worlds, have some idea of how to train on them safely, learning the ins and outs of their new gift. And then you have some whose only exposure to "magic" is through stories, fairy tales, or really entertaining TV, and pointing a finger-gun at a target and saying "boom!" has never actually worked... until now. "Uh," the other Dreamfolk says, staring dumbly at the car-sized hole in the wall, and then glances at you who just happened to be the closest person. "That's... new. Yikes. Should we run? Wait, I've got a better idea--" Cue loud voice and frantic pointing in your direction. "IT WAS THIS ONE! THEY DID IT!" IV. SHADY BUSINESS - It's A Shakedown You're in the right place at the right time (or the wrong ones, depending on your point of view) but you're entering a shop just in time to see some Beika punks accosting the shopkeeper, demanding protection money, which they owner is stammering that they've already paid this month. Upon your entrance, the shopkeeper looks over at you with help me plainly written on their face, while the Beika thugs look very unhappy at being interrupted... V. BEACHFRONT CLEANUP - Oh That's Nasty... It's not a pleasant task, but it does pay volunteers pretty well: following a massive storm, several dozen dead Giant Jellyfish corpses have washed up on the shoreline, and they need to be cleaned and disposed of before they start to decompose. It's dirty, smelly, and slimey work... but the promise of two weeks worth of rhinn for one day's work is hard to pass up! You're assigned to teams and given some shovels and a wheelbarrow, but as you reach the latest jellyfish body, you're surprised to see that this one appears to be covered in... burns?? Is this something you should report? VI. WILDCARD - Because You're Not The Boss Of Me Anything else that doesn't fit the above prompts is welcome, just keep it within the game setting please!

He’s actually reminded of someone from home - their crown prince, Heylel. The kid’s a spoiled brat and doesn’t seem to take anything seriously, but when push comes to shove, he’s one heck of a fighter. Just lazy, mostly. ]
Well, you said it’s my fault if more baddies show up. Why don’t you help the poor old man over there while I take care of the reinforcements?
[ He doesn’t even wait for Jack to agree or disagree. He just turns around and leaves. The door’s barely closed when there’s a sound of a sword being drawn, followed by other not-too-pleasant noises. Nope, not for decoration, Jack. ]
no subject
Right-o, I'll see everything's taken of back here. [ Points at Cade with both hands, then turns it into two thumbs up. ] You're the wind beneath my wings, kiddo.
[ As soon as he's out of view, Jack slides to the back of the counter and gives the owner a sly, serpentine grin. Bats eyelashes at him. ] Rough day, huh? You know, you're just lucky me and pretty boy showed up earlier. You didn't have their protection money... my god, what would've they done to you? To your family? That's gonna be so... awful to think about. [ He touches the old man's face, then traces a finger to his neck. He draws a threatening line at the middle. The old man swallows. ] A little token of appreciation is in order, don't you think? Something for dinner. And a little extra, for my clothes and all.
[ When the fighting's over, Jack has an apple in his hand and a bright grin in his face. He steps on one of the bodies on the ground as he walks over to Cade. ] Caaade. My man. You, me, dinner. My treat. What do you say?
no subject
He sheaths his sword, then turns to Jack. He's surprised at the offer, but doesn't refuse. It wouldn't hurt to make a new friend - or at least, not make an enemy. ] That's awfully generous of you. The old man gave you a token of appreciation, eh?
no subject
[ He claps Cade on the back. ]
I'm a pretty friendly guy, Cade, and youuuu deserve it. We make a good team. Here's to the start of a beautiful friendship, hm?
[ ooc: might be good to fade out soon (~o.o)~ tysm! ]
You’re fantastic! So looking forward to having you in the game~ :D
Come on, Handsome. I know a good place, just around the corner.
