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!

Listen, Whiskers... [ He pulls his gun out of its holster, spinning it in his trigger finger ] ...How about you run along and let the adults handle their business, hmmm? It's really not worth it. Trust me on this.
im fucking dying already
I don't care if you guys are having your own territorial squabbles, but don't involve innocent people in it.
:DDD
But if it's not me, then... [ He turns to one of the thugs, wagging his finger at him. The thug looks begrudgingly amused. ] Are you hurting people?
[ "No," the thug says. Jack waves his finger at the other guys, who then say similar responses. He shrugs. ]
See? This is all just a legitimate business transaction, with legitimate businessmen. I don't know where that dangerous outlook's coming from. Maybe it's from you. Have you been hurt before, Whiskers? You know, it doesn't really help to have a cynical world view. If you keep viewing the world as bad, it's gonna be bad to you. You need to develop more positive thinking to get anywhere.
im almost sorry for him
[His empathy was not a help most of the time, but it did let him know who was angry and ready to fight, and those thugs at least, absolutely were. Besides, he could feel how terrified the shopkeeper was, even if Konoe ignored the lances of pain through his chest.]
I know bandits when I see them!!
[And with that statement, Konoe sprang forward, his sword swinging for the man's torso. He was surprisingly fast and agile for his speed, as all cats were.]
no subject
You bitch! Alright, that's it! I'm having cat for dinner! [ His cloaking device slithered down from his head to his feet, concealing his location, and sprung four holographic doppelgangers, each noisy and taunting to be disorienting. The real Jack backtracked to the back, still invisible, and started shooting his gun's entire clip at Konoe's direction. Stupid! He was trying to save bullets here! ]

His eyes were darting back and forth between the strange clones, but oddly enough he couldn't sense any emotions from them. It was only when he almost stumbled from the feeling behind him that he realized where his opponent had gone.
Konoe was already moving when the first bullets shot out, but a few of them still gouged his skin out as he bolted. The sudden noise and flying bits of metal terrified the cat, driving him to the nearest shelter he could dive behind, curling up into a tiny ball and trying not to try and bleed everywhere.]
no subject
Ohhhh. Not so tough now, are you, kitten? Well... [ He straightens up and flashes a grin at the thugs ] The name's Handsome Jack, boys. Remember it when you go back to your bosses.
[ He stalks towards where Konoe is, fingers itchy ]
no subject
I've never seen a weapon like that in my entire life. Are you some kind of sorcerer??
no subject
[ Jack kicks the trash bin away and makes a grab for the pretty boy's neck. ]
[ ooc: fade to black /o/ ]
