autumn catch-all

WHO: Aether and you!
WHAT: Open prompts
WHEN: Throughout autumn
WHERE: Various
WARNINGS: None for now


A. Arco Lunar
[The date with Steinbeck aside, Aether is curious to explore Arco Lunar on his own. You may see him looking at the sea while leaning against the railing, trying out different dishes in the buffet and peeking inside the spa or massage studio.

It's really rare for him to be surrounded by such luxury. He's just a traveler, after all and the best he can usually get is a comfy, but modest room in an inn... or his current home.]


B. The Dulces Sueños Resort
[Obviously, Aether wouldn't be himself if he wasn't curious about the resort. Perhaps you are the one who invited him to go, perhaps the two of you just bumped into each other and now venture into the resort together.

If you use the open bath together with Aether you will pick up that beneath the optimistic demeanour, there's actually a lot of lingering loneliness and exhaustion.

If the two of you end up spending the night in the same room, you will see one of Aether's memories. Was it a good one of fun festivals? Or was a sad memory of something lost?]


C. Chocolates
[Perhaps you are minding your own business, when suddenly someone hugs you. A sheepish voice quickly says:]

Sorry! I didn't really mean that...

[The traveler laughs softly, if not a bit awkwardly and pulls away. The chocolates he received seem to cause the person who has eaten them to want to hug others. Aether wasn't aware of that, of course, so he tried one in the morning and its effect seems to linger for the time being. It's a bit awkward, but he doesn't mind too much.

He may be giving some away depending if you're fine with such an effect or not. Or maybe he'll just decide that you need all the hugs you can get and will gift you one without an explanation.]


D. Wildcard
[If you'd like your own starter, a completely different prompt, etc feel free to contact me at discord Ashka#4609 or plurk (spiritualwhisper)! Or just go for it. Also if you'd like to do something from his bingo that's also fine! :D ]

[ He's hoping for a quiet moment to himself in the bath, away from the others at the resort, but when he steps in...

Aether's already in it. Vanitas stands before him with a towel around his waist, but his upper torso is exposed, showcasing the various scars all over his body. He stops in his tracks and stares, and finds himself already taking a few steps backward.

[ He's incredibly hesitant to do so, and it shows. After his...rodeo with Amber, he's come to distrust a lot of things about these special locations that pop up.

Something curious, though, is that a bar with a broken heart on one end and a full heart on the other pops up. There are a couple of ticks and a pointer, like it's some sort of meter. When Vanitas looks at Aether, the pointer moves so it's a little past the halfway point between the two hearts.
]

...

[ He doesn't seem to know it's there, floating above his head. But he sighs heavily and moves to join Aether, and only removes his towel after he's submerged. ]

You're here with someone? Or did you come alone?

[ Surprise hug from Aether is, well, unexpected. It doesn't mean that it's unwelcome, though. ]

Don't apologize, it's alright. You're an excellent hugger, actually!

[ He means it!! But there's something he wanted to talk about with Aether, so he quickly moves on. ]

May I ask you a question?
archivists: (106.)

[personal profile] archivists 2023-02-07 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...

[ There are two wolves inside of Noé—the first one wants him to outright ask if Aether likes Vanitas. The other, however, wants to be a bit more subtle than usual, mostly for his friend's sake. ]

Is there anything you like about Vanitas?

[ This sounds like a fair consensus, even if it's still straightforward. ]

[ Well, it's been a little while since they've seen each other as a result of last month's madness. But, it doesn't quite matter, especially since the island is a small place.

One in which others can be seen at various points with ease for a variety of reasons.

Perhaps on the way to town they run into each other. ]

[ Of course, He Xuan sees nothing wrong with what he has said.

His word choice could have been a bit better, but there are far worse things he could've said. Or so he uses to justify what he says next. ]


If I was asking you to explain yourself to me, then it would be obvious, wouldn't it?

[ We're starting off well here, fam. ]

[ Well then, this is certainly one way to run into the Traveler again. Everyone is more physically affectionate than Alhaitham, so he's not a great barometer for whether or not this behavior is a little off, but given his previous interactions with Aether, this seems a little...well. Unexpected.

At least he says he doesn't mean it - which honestly, makes Alhaitham feel much better about it. ]


Then why do it?

[ He can't just let Aether off easy, can he... ]
scriviner: (frOIACq)

[personal profile] scriviner 2023-02-08 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ It could have gone worse! Alhaitham is at least not rubbing it in - for now. He’s already familiar enough with how things work here to realize that hug was probably not exactly of Aether’s own volition. ]

Oh. Fine.

[ That’s apparently all he’s going to say about that! ]

And yourself? Kaveh mentioned you had arrived. I figured it was only a matter of time before I ran into you sooner or later.

[ Whenever Aether turns the corner, he'll be greeted by Childe. Coming off of his group date with Vicious and Mishka, he's dressed to the nines, a look unseasonably disproportionate to the weather. With the arrival of early evening, it isn't nearly cold enough to warrant all these layers. The coat on him is floor-length and swishing as he drops his grip, leaning back against the wall with folded arms. ]

Aether! Just the guy I wanted to see. Your timing is as convenient as ever.

[ Must have an affinity for these things, stumbling upon him when the opportunity ingratiates itself. Dropping any other titles is telling enough. Jovial but strangely so humorless, he folds his arms, smiley in a way that hasn't reached his eyes. ]

C'mon. You're free now, right? Mind if we talk?

[ No room for argument, pal. ]
sluice: (220924 (260)1)

[personal profile] sluice 2023-02-07 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, don't look at me like that! I wouldn't do anything untoward today. [ Promising nothing else, Childe doesn't gesture at Aether's hands insomuch that he leads, his pace cutthroat down the hall of the ship, self-assurance tugging at his steps. ] Follow me. I know just the place.

[ Leading him out or leading him astray? Same difference! The place Childe's brought him toward is his own private suite onboard. Entryway left ajar, he gestures at Aether to get cozy.

Noticeably, the aphrodisiac basket that formerly resided on the bed has been thrown in the trash bin, still untouched. Tugging the door shut, he leaves Aether wherever he is to fiddle with the room's curtains, drawing them shut. Lamplight plunges the walls in gold, thrown into greater prominence in the gloom. ]


I heard your appeal at the auction. ... I have to say, I wasn't expecting any of that. It caught even me off-guard. [ Offhandedly, Childe glances back at him. ] Did you mean it? All of it?

[ Er. Well, Flynn certainly isn't opposed to hugs, though he's generally used to getting a little more warning than that. He shifts his pile of roses and the chocolate box a little higher to keep them from getting smooshed, and pats the stranger's back a bit awkwardly with his other hand. ]

Are you alright?

[ Has he been mistaken for someone else? Or maybe this is an outpouring of distress. It's all a little cryptic. ]
knightunerring: (13)

[personal profile] knightunerring 2023-02-07 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not a problem. ...Did something happen?

[ Flynn gives an encouraging little smile in return. That he's not distressed or injured is all that matters, really. Flynn's sturdy enough to tank some surprise hugging. ]

[He does regret that he hasn't stayed with Aether the night he dropped him home just to ensure he didn't need anything during the night, but a sleepover is a good enough way to make amends, isn't it? Diluc is silently impressed with the sheer volume of hair that comes spiraling out of his braid, and with half a mind to assist Aether by brushing it out, Diluc sits on the mattress' edge. He knows long hair woes better than most, and with hair so long and full, he figures Aether might appreciate having a helping hand to comb all the snaggles out.]

...Oh dear. Charmed with the compulsion to hug others? Why, I can't think of anything worse.

[The sarcasm is so heavy, amusement ringing in Diluc's laugh, and he pulls out a small box of his own chocolates. By now, he knows what effect they have.]

Mine will compel you to perform a kind act for someone else. It seems we were lucky to receive the chocolates we did. Shall we trade?

( This fine afternoon, Mishka happens to be at the boutique, looking at their cute selections of friends and couple's t-shirts.

As Aether might notice, though, Mishka happens to be alone, and given he has no one in particular to match with... so he glances at Aether. This guy looks half shirtless, he could certainly appreciate a shirt-related task, right? )


Do you happen to have a moment free to help me out?

[personal profile] unchainer 2023-02-26 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ After being gone from the house for a few hours, Vanitas decides to return with a little surprise for Aether. He has with him a small bouquet of flowers, white ones to be exact – he's not entirely sure why he decided to buy them other than to thank Aether for their time at the resort. That in itself makes him feel very odd, and as soon as he closes the door behind him, he fully intends on leaving them on the kitchen counter without saying anything. Maybe then Aether will assume it's just for decor...nothing more.

Vanitas quietly makes his way to the kitchen, hoping that he won't stumble into his roommate – partner, now? – on the way there.
