🔪 i'm a fish inside a birdcage; open with some closed prompts

🔪 WHO: Akechi and anyone who chooses to tolerate him (I'm sorry).
🔪 WHAT: December Shenanigans
🔪 WHEN: Nebulously December, possibly into January, time is fake.
🔪 WHERE: Wherever, whenever, we're meant to... No, actually.
🔪 WARNINGS: Strong language, emotional constipation, Childe, Twister. Any NSFW will be tagged within the thread but it may happen. Also Kaeya and Akechi are making out, so that's a thing.



🔪 b-b-b-bingo!

[Frequently, Akechi can be found just about anywhere within Crescentview perched neatly on something chair-shaped. He has one leg folded over the other like a prick, one arm folded against his ribs and the elbow of the other resting on his wrist, allowing him to set his chin in his hand. It's a pretentious way to sit, but it's stable, and comfortable despite how it looks. He's poring over his Bingo card for the umpteenth time, and should anyone come within a five-foot radius of him, he snaps his head up.] For our mutual benefit, would you mind cross-referencing cards?

[He's made figurative copies of his card-- on the backs of old casework from his briefcase, he's hand-written out a few lists of squares, content to always ignore the smut squares when interacting with anyone. His penmanship is neat and concise, and there are occasional footnotes alongside them.]

🔪 mountainside farming

[He has no idea how to be a farmer. He has no idea how to be self-sufficient without the internet and a paycheck garnered from murder, he's realizing, but he does have a vague know-how of a variety of things included in farming. Planting seeds, for instance, he has some degree of understanding of. His farm is set away from others, blissfully allowing him solitude, but by no means unreachable or even remotely difficult to find. He's found some old shitty tools and an old shitty sun hat, and his slacks are rolled up to his knees. He's given up on his shirt entirely, given it's white, and his shoes and socks are somewhere out of eyesight, leaving him barefoot and shirtless attempting to tear up the earth for planting things with a rusted old backhoe. There is only so much his shitty little twink arms can handle, someone want to teach him proper technique?]

pt. 2; paddle boats. [Childe]

[At some point he's given up on tearing up his land, and is standing at the bank of a small lake near his farm. More specifically, he's staring at a paddle boat just chilling, rope-tied to a questionable dock. It's pretty gnarly, covered in grime and algae, but if there's one thing Goro is relatively decent at in household tasks, it's cleaning.]

[Tartaglia will find him scooping water in and out of the thing, the legs of his slacks still rolled up to his knees-- not that it really matters anymore, given he's basically swimming fully clothed. His hair is tied back with some kind of twine into a dinky-ass little ponytail, and he pauses with some manner of bucket half-poured into the second bucket seat of the boat to look up at the ginger.]
Does your staring serve a purpose, or should I pretend you're less conspicuous? I don't believe we've met.

pt. 3; twister. [Lucia]

[He's yet to figure out how to solve the issue of proper lighting, so he's moved his bizarre find while dusting out to the front yard of his plot of land. Said bizarre find, as it happens, is a classic old game known as Twister, in a banged-up old square cardboard box. It's simple enough, the spin-board in tact and the mat suffering only a few questionable stains, and Goro is seated cross-legged beside the mat reading the instructions for what has to be the fourth time. It's a very straightforward game, but he keeps waiting for something to leap out at him from between the lines to make it more complicated.]

[Movement in his peripheral vision catches his attention and he angles his head toward it, but his eyes remain on the paper until he finishes the sentence he was in the middle of reading. His eyes then meet Lucia's, and after a beat of silence, she can likely see the gears in his little rat brain turning. A slow grin pulls his mouth crooked.]
Care to test something with me?

🔪 wildcard

[Akechi spends most of his time at his farm to avoid others, trying to figure out how to make this whole farming thing work without being sociable or accepting, much less asking for, help. His plotting post can be found here, but I'm open for literally anything. I can make additional prompts or you can toss me whatever you like! Please harass my shitlord. :>b]

Of course. Perhaps we share a few squares.

[ He holds out his own card, where it is revealed that they do have two shared squares: kiss and obedience (smut). ]

Didn't know I needed one.

[ Not like he's the least bit penitent wandering about, staring perhaps longer than necessary. He's pretty spontaneous on his own merits, governed by nothing like the chokehold of reason to get him to behave longer than necessary. Tartaglia shrugs, flippant to the concerns posed by watching this stranger un-sink his... paddleboat? ]

You looked like you could use some company! And some help, if you're willing to take mine.

[ It's fine if Akechi's smile is a little mean because Kaeya will probably be a little mean himself. Still left in a bad mood from the previous night (see: first fight with Diluc), he's less subtle about his jabs and teasing. He's also more blunt and direct. ]

Well, how about a quick kiss?

[ He takes back the card as he hands back Akechi's. ]

Nice to meet you, Akechi-kun.

[ He sticks on honorifics to be safe, considering that Akechi has a Japanese sounding name. Might as well be polite. ]

Well, we could get to know one another. That'd complete a few tasks on the board.
calla: (kaeya042)

[personal profile] calla 2022-12-10 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kaeya almost gets a glint in his eye once he sees Akechi's reaction. Oho, maybe this will help him improve his mood. Placing a hand on his hip, he leans down forward until he gets uncomfortably close to Akechi's face, close enough that his breath just skirts across the boy's lips. ]

Is this close enough?
calla: (kaeya117)

no one else would smooch him lbr

[personal profile] calla 2022-12-11 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Would it be a surprise or not if it's revealed that Kaeya is a rather experienced kisser? As for who he's kissing, well, that's a secret that he'd like to keep to himself. As Akechi closes the small distance between them, Kaeya places a hand over the other's cheek. Stroking his thumb across his jaw, he tries to coax Akechi's mouth to part. He slightly opens his own mouth to let his tongue slip through, wanting passage into other's. ]

[ If he was feeling nicer, this would have been just a simple kiss, but no, he wants to see how far Akechi will let him take this. ]

[ Lucia's just passing by when she sees Akechi sitting in his front yard. He seems to be contemplating something, and when she gets a closer look, it's a board game. Twister, to be exact... That's a bingo prompt, isn't it?

Is he really considering doing it, she wonders.

Apparently so, because when he spots her – and she almost jumps when he does – he asks if she wants to test something. She has a feeling she knows what it is.
]

What are you testing?

[personal profile] sluice 2022-12-11 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, that's a mouthful. To that, Childe's smile only broadens as he crosses the rest of the way over. ]

A simple "sure, come aboard!" would've sufficed. Luckily for you, I do have some experience dealing with boats.

[ His family was in the possession of several dinghies, even if this one is a bit more peculiar than most. Delicately maneuvering his way onto this little vessel for two, he grabs another bucket and gets to scooping. ]

See any leaks? As long as the exterior hasn't rotted through, we should be able to keep it floating just fine.

[ Makoto is looking down at the farm list he'd scrawled out for himself, only half noticing and certainly not expecting the other man to look up at him as he walked past. Makoto's shoulders shoot up suddenly, but he recovers and doesn't drag his boots on the way over like he feels like doing. It's been a long day, but that's not this guy's fault. He can't afford to resist an easy square, really. ]

Oh, sure.

[ He puts a convincingly friendly smile on approach, mostly genuine. That neatness is really distracting. Actually, it brightens up his expression a bit once he considers the application for his own undesirable squares (without realizing that's what Akechi already did).

He lifts the back of his oversized sweater to pull out his own card from his back pocket. But he just looks at it himself, having learned from the library. Makoto's smut squares are only covered by torn white paper, after all; flimsy tape on the top and bottom, paper slightly crumpled.

Only 'eat at the restaurant' might potentially have a stamp that shows through for now, the rest are embarrassingly blank. An attempt is made, grip loose on his card--
]

Want to feed some local animals? Shouldn't be too hard, right?

[ Or they could share a bed, do something on their bucket list-- ]

...It's...yes, and no.

[ Hm. How does she put this? He's not wrong, but also – ]

It'll be one for both of us. And...things may get a little close...if that's something you're okay with...

[ She'll do it for the square, but neither of them seem to be the type to not be awkward about that sort of thing. At least, that's what she thinks. ]

[ Ellis has been exploring, since that's what he likes to do. He hasn't been to the mountains yet, so when he comes across Goro's farm, he's about to wave to greet him but oh. Goro is shirtless.

...

He just kinda stands there, not sure if he should approach him or not. Hm... but then he eventually makes up his mind, claps once for Goro's attention, and waves at him again.

Oh?

[ Gentaro can't even judge him, not when he has a habit of putting on airs quite similar to this. He might not be wearing his usual garb, but he still has that refined aura about him. ]

My, you're very thorough. [ That's a compliment, too. ] Hmm... We do have several in common, but I think we, as strangers, should cooperate and choose a... milder square.

[ Yeah. He offers his own card for Akechi to see and pointedly ignores the smut ones. ]

Why don't we eat at the restaurant together?

[ Ah, the elusive noodle boy in his (un)natural habitat. Be careful, you don't want to scare him, lest you activate his defense mechanism and he reverts to his feral state of being.

Mira watches him, and while they won't say that he's obviously struggling, they'll sure think it. They kind of feel bad for him, actually. Being spirited away to a completely new place, only to have to jump headfirst into something unfamiliar?

Yeah, it sucks. Mira clears their throat lightly. ]


Do you want some help?

[ There's at least no hint of pity, just an offer, asked simply. ]
