call me out v. 14.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

Comments

[anappleaday]

[ immediately putting it on ]

I do ... Thank you very much.

[ there is a faint smile visible through the skull's teeth, sleepy and slight. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

That's good to hear
I hope Lilith likes hers too when I make her something

[anappleaday]

[ hums. gently conspiratorial: ]

Gifts are always to be treasured ... but if you would like advice...?

[ if the name of the game is "spoil her partner" she is always down to play. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I'd appreciate any advice you have

[anappleaday]

[ leaning back on her hands ]

Lilith is mostly practical, but ... she likes cute things.

[gemuinemanagement]

Cute things
I can work with that

[He's not good at practical so much...]

[anappleaday]

[ they've more or less got practical covered, anyway. things that happen when you're basically feral woodswomen.

the lower jaw of the skull abruptly drops— she makes a quiet noise in the back of her throat and reaches up to rub her face. ]

...Don't worry too much about it... I appreciate the thought, regardless, she's just... odd about anything that so much as resembles an exchange.

[gemuinemanagement]

We all have our idiosyncrasies
I like her so far

[anappleaday]

[ muttered ]

...It's almost more accurate to say she is an idiosyncrasy...

["... Excuse you."
I'm not wrong, am I?
"No, but it is still rude?"
As though you aren't? ]

I'm glad to hear it, though.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga nods, then stands up.]

It's getting late
It was nice talking to you
I'll see you some other time?

I LOST THE NOTIF FOR THIS NOOO

[anappleaday]

Likewise. ...I'd like that?

[ ...she's going to have to stop being a cryptid in the woods and go out more often... ]

noooooo

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga smiles, and heads back into town proper.

About a week later, there's a package in Lilith's mailbox. A small box that contains a bracelet. It's shaped like a band of flowers, but each one is delicately carved from sapphire.]

Thank you for before
-Suga

1/? i realized I could do this for inner discussions and now i cannot be stopped

[anappleaday]

[ oh what that's lovely

...wait he made this?

wait this isn't the forest, things don't just appear out of thin air, he made this made this?!




sorry, please hold ]

[anappleaday]

[ absolutely GLEEFUL ]

That is not a fair trade.

[anappleaday]

Yes, thank you, I do have eyes, why on earth—

[anappleaday]

Will you wear it?

[anappleaday]

Will I— of course I'll wear it?! Assuming it isn't—

[anappleaday]

It is safe. It is hand-made ... he would have handled all the materials. And ... I would have seen if he had bad intent.

[ ages of avid people-watching with the intent to learn psychology coupled with the memories of a shinobi particularly suited to reading people makes her difficult to fool. ]

[anappleaday]

...I didn't think he did, either, but... thank you for the reassurance.

[ sometimes you come from a place where free food or gifts have either unlabeled (and often unpleasant) side effects or some other hidden cost, and then you end up somewhere else and it turns out that entire concept is a trend, and then the paranoia never leaves. ]

[anappleaday]

[ she doesn't reply in words, this time, just with gentle affection tinged faintly amused understanding. it isn't paranoia if your suspicions are right, after all. ]

/done

[anappleaday]

[ anyway, the next time Suga sees her she's actually in town, even if more on the outskirts; she's found a bench on the edge of the park to chill on. or... not chill, exactly, considering she is fighting a crochet hook and a bunch of yarn with a focused frown.

the angle of her hands does mean the bracelet on her wrist catches the sunlight quite prettily, though. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[It's good to see her wearing it - he does have confidence in his work, but any craftsman will be pleased to see that what they've made is getting use. He waves, before approaching the bench.]

I'm glad you like it

[anappleaday]

[ she starts to lift her hand to wave back— only to realize her hands are full, fumble the entire mess, and then give up with rueful expression and a self deprecating huff. excellent, wonderful, she's doing a stellar job today. ]

It's beautiful. ...Though I'll admit, I didn't think you meant jewelry when you said you wanted to make something.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm a jeweler
It's all I'm really good at

[He has One Skill and he will make use of it.]

[anappleaday]

[ starts to reply, makes a face, and then says with Samael's quieter inflection: ]

No person only has one talent.

...I'm not entirely sure I agree with that, but I do think you're probably selling yourself short.
