Crystalline Chill

Who: Residents of house C-01 and friends!
When: All throughout May, see prompts and individual threads
Where: House C-01
What: Monthly catchall for the XV House shenanigans
Warnings/Notes: There's likely going to be spoilers for Kingsglaive and the main game up to Chapter 13 somewhere in the comments.


A. Sometimes you just want to ride...
Late in the morning of the 1st, there is a low purring sound of an engine going down the street. One that wasn't accustomed to travel aside by foot or chocobo claw. Yet, somehow, a certain man manages not to clip a single thing. And it sits there, in front of House C-01, black, shiny, and very much a wonder to a few moogles. Especially since the convertible's roof is airship-grade plexiglass.

B. [Insert "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" joke here]
There was one upside to living with the once-deceased leader of the Crownsguard, and that was one didn't have to go far for a training enthusiast. There was also one downside to this: not having to go far for a training enthusiast. It's the crack of dawn when the nice little symphony of insects and kwehs get interrupted by the sounds of wooden weapons clashing and spells being practiced.

Rest in pieces, light sleepers. They apologize in advance.

C. That's it!
Of course, no one can train or go through the day on no fuel. And one person in particular has taken upon himself to at least ensure a few others can eventually cook eggs without burning them. The real question is: Will Ignis come up with a new recipeh involving that jar of kupo nut butter?

D. I want to ride my chocobo all day~
If anyone is surprised at the fact that there are two or three (depending on the date because Chocobo Eater event) lovely birds, then they clearly don't understand at least 50% of the household's love for the magnificent creatures. The black one in particular seems to be particularly happy with their nice little stack of shiny objects...

There may or may not be a pair of glasses on the top of that pile. Sorry, Specs.

E. Hold my Ebony

Well I'm glad one of you sees sense! The hells' are ye even doin bangin' wood together at this hour?
littlemhigan: (FITE ME)

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-15 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Aye well, here I am, annoyed! Deprivin' a lass of her prayer ye are, sers, and it's right lucky for all of us it's prayer and not sleep!

[Castor's been up for awhile, it's true but she's still dozy enough to not notice or care about how thick her native accent is laying on her tongue.]
littlemhigan: (:))

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-17 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Appreciated.

[ Her grouchy look melts a little as she actually gives Noctis a good look over. ]

Ye look as though ye could use a few more hours in bed, lad.
littlemhigan: (:))

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-17 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Seems not, if even drillin' like ye've been doesn't have ye fully awake.

[ As if to punctuate this, Castor has to stifle a yawn. ]

Good habit, but no fun hm?
littlemhigan: (Yes Hello)

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-18 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Only if it's too warm to do anything else. No time in the day for sloth, elsewise

[ Oh no they're just catching each others yawns now. ]
littlemhigan: (i give up)

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-20 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Don' ye start to ache if ye lie abed too long?
littlemhigan: (W H A T)

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-23 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ye ill?

[Smooth. But really, she can't think of any other reason.]

Er...if ye don't mind my askin'...?
littlemhigan: (While the other shoe is dropping)

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-25 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. My sympathies. Can't imagine that sort of lethargy.
lordshield: (hell no)

[personal profile] lordshield 2018-05-25 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Noctis has been slacking off and shooting Clarus enough glares that the old knight has had enough and decides to come over to investigate.]

Lady Castor, good morning. Would you care to join us? I believe break time is over.

[The last bit was aimed at Noctis, prodding him to get back to work.]
littlemhigan: (:))

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-26 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
G'morn, Ser! Dunno if ye heard, but I popped over te ask if ye could keep it down awhile, least 'till the sun is up...but now that it is, mayhaps I shall join ye.
lordshield: (agi3)

[personal profile] lordshield 2018-05-26 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dolls... of all the things, really? Whatever, rules of the world. It wasn't like Noctis chose to play with a doll as a conduit for power at random.]

Most of the world's creatures either fall asleep or wake at dawn. Very few sleep clear through it. I am of the opinion that people should rise with the sun to get the most out of their day. If all kept that schedule, our practice would interrupt no one.

[He's being rude, he knows, but he also doesn't care. They have a lot to work toward.]

Besides, you must feel the weakness of losing your abilities as well. We'd prefer to regain what was lost sooner rather than later. I'd be happy to help you achieve your goals as well.
littlemhigan: (:))

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-27 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Aye, I know. When ye gotta hunt yer own dinner, ye learn the sleepin' habits of what's good eats.

Castor ducks for a moment before vaulting the fence and handily sticks the landing.

Mm. Gettin' used to the feeling. I learned once, I can learn again.
lordshield: (arm bump)

[If you'd chosen a moogle instead Clarus could at least approve of throwing a moogle. Oh well.

He can't help the small look of appreciation he gives the woman when she vaults over. Clarus just enjoys physically fit people, and those who possess a certain amount of grace.]


Excellent. That's the spirit. Which Jobs did you decide on, my lady?
littlemhigan: (Yes Hello)

[personal profile] littlemhigan 2018-05-31 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Castor stands, then begins to limber up, stretching out her legs. ]

Monk, te start with. It's what I know, even if it's different here. Picked up Red Mage, too. Never quite had a knack for magic back in Eorzea. Figured it'd be worth a try. An yerselves?
