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

Good for them, because if Clarus had decided to go easy on Connie, she would've used that to her every advantage. Connie smiles as she takes the sword, feeling out its balance with a few practice swings. It would do, but... "Can't say I have. Do you have any larger practice blades? Biggs and Wedge found Rose's sword in the Dream Width a little while ago, and since gunblades don't generally come in greatsword varieties, I need to shake off the rust before I feel comfortable using it again."

"Ah yes, you'd mentioned practicing with larger swords," he reminded mostly himself, walking over to the weapons rack to see what was available to them. There was a sword that was entirely too large for her use, since it was probably double her height, and another that was likely as tall as she was. Clarus lifted the second sword from the rack and tested it before offering the hilt to her. "Is this too large?"

Connie's eyes gleam when Clarus picks up the second sword. Now that was what she was talking about. "It's perfect!" she exclaims, taking it by the hilt before stepping back. She gives the sword a few practice swings to test its balance, obviously proficient in the use of a sword that (proportionally) massive. Widening her stance, putting her game face on, and lowering her body, Connie says, "Ready when you are."
