You took all of me (December Catchall)

🌊Who: He Xuan, and anyone else.
🌊What: A brief catchall.
🌊When: December.
🌊Where: Varies.
🌊Warnings: None, unless someone ends up convincing him somehow to do a NSFW bingo square or something.


i. silent nights (closed to Gaku Yaotome)

[ Well following the culmination of the activities of this, it is doubtless that the two had their own business to take care of. Maybe it would take a day, but probably not because when nightfall is upon them, it doesn't change the fact that sleep will be needed. Well, technically He Xuan could go without it, though it hasn't exactly...come up. ]

...It's late. I assume you're coming to bed.

[ He Xuan doesn't know how to phrase that less awkwardly, help. ]

ii. these abandoned fields

[ ...Well. These fields are not going to cultivate their damned selves, as much as He Xuan would like for them to. So here he is, out in the early morning, hair pulled back into a familiar ponytail, despite how long it is, and sleeves rolled up.

He's doing farm work, with the hoe and whatnot. Though, apparently not without a few curses. His family had a farm when he was young, yet it has been ages since he has been on a farm. Not to mention, they didn't go into misfortune until a certain point, so his experience personally attending to one is extremely limited.

Maybe a certain shovel would prove to be useful here, in retrospect. Or maybe not, because he doesn't know how to use it. Anyway, more effort is being exerted here, without trying to ruin the soil. ]


iii. responsibility is a heavy (annoying) cross to bear [various prompts]

[ He Xuan can be seen in town at various early points of the day. Though he looks annoyed to be there, and if for whatever reason someone comes closer to him, he frowns, but he does like...the minimum effort to look like he's not about to kill someone, expression more neutral. ]

What?

[ Later on, he can also be witnessed hanging around at the actual beach, seeming caught up in the way the setting looks in the late afternoon. He seems more at peace at this time, on account of the fact he is more at ease with this sort of surrounding. ]

iv. wildcard

[ Feel free to throw in a random scenario that doesn't fit the above if you'd like. I haven't actually gotten around to making a plotting post since I just commented around, but here is his bingo so far! ]

[Airheaded? Scatterbrained? He certainly does give off that impression the majority of the time. And while it's not the wrong conclusion to draw, he is in fact capable of being serious when the situation calls for it!]

Ahaha, is it that obvious? It is something of a necessary skill in upper-class society... so many rules and manners that one needs to learn, after all. The worst part is trying to keep them all straight!

[But it is something that he excels at by this point, so hearing it affirmed doesn't come as a surprise to him.]

[... ah. It's a part that Jack had avoided mentioning for a reason, but now that it's been brought up, he's not going to shy away from it. Not after he spent so long struggling to be able to claim that name.]

Vessalius, actually. But that doesn't mean anything here, so I didn't see much point in mentioning it.

[It's a plausible excuse. It's not as though anyone in this world would have any familiarity with the name, anyway, so knowing it means next to nothing here.]

[It does mean something to Jack, actually, but likely not what He Xuan expects. Which is why he's all too happy to take that segue in conversation and continue:]

Ohh? Does that mean you're going to attempt to go up against the goddess herself?

[Goodness, but that is ambitious indeed. Jack can't deny he would enjoy watching how that might play out, not that he's going to say as much out loud...]

Since you don't seem to have any intention of getting married, that is...
