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 ]

Ahaha, how could I forget? You were that way from the moment we met. [ So compassionate and yet so deadly; it's quite a dichotomy, and Childe can't help straying close, trying to figure out what makes him tick. ] That's why... some things are better left unsaid. I have no taste for deception.

[ So it's better if Childe doesn't reveal too much, not about his family or his allegiances or what'll become of them both at the end. When he eventually rushes for the Traveler's jugular, like he can conquer Aether like he means to conquer the world, there won't be any room for kindness. ]

If I catch you out in a lie, we'll have a reason to fight again. When that time comes, I want you at your strongest.

What else? We'll remain good friends!

[ Keeping in touch for the indeterminate future doesn't sound so bad. The benefit of wondering aloud is the ability to stay waylaid from any further promises, but Childe's already been entrapped, anyways. ]

... Burning up with curiosity, huh. [ At the rate Aether's going, he may just turn to ash by sunrise. ] Like you, I'm no stranger to wandering around. Explains why I can make the most of things, right?

[ Three months in the Abyss did wonders to his mental state, and it's hardly anything he regrets now. ]

Tell me about the places you've been! Let's see how you match up.

Yeah, lots to see, plenty to do. I get sent all over the place.

[ A huge flourish, talking very vaguely of the delights and the horrors he's witnessed. Getting up to all these shenanigans, Childe just gets more and more foolish. His chin tips just a little, when he drops back on the bed. ]

Gone that far already? [ Nonchantly, he mulls over it. ] Haven't been to Sumeru yet. Sand ever get in your boots? Seems like it'd be hard to avoid when trekking through the dunes.
