December/spring catch-all
WHO: M-21 and anyone!
WHAT: Open + catchall
WHEN: All spring
WHERE: All over the island
WARNINGS: none, TBA if needed. Plotting here!
i. what do you mean 'consequences'
[ On one specific, highly cursed day this month, M-21 can be found lurking forlornly outside the island's little clinic. An internal war seems to be going on; he takes a grudging step towards the doors, then stalks away again. As if unaware he's doing it, he reaches down to rub irritably at his lower back. Maybe someone's a little less suited for farm work than everyone else? ]
This is so stupid.
[ He shoots a mutinous look up at the sky like he'd like to direct a complaint right to the management but doesn't quite dare. Then he's back to his pacing, with an occasional sideways glance thrown in towards the vet. Or he can be found draped somewhat pathetically over the nearest fence-shaped thing he can find, apparently no longer willing to move.
Help. ]
ii. like herding cats
[ On days when the weather is sunny and cooperative, despite all complaints, M-21 is hard at work in his fields. Reluctant concessions to farmcore have been made to spare what's left of his suit, and a sturdy pair of farming gloves covering his hands well past the wrist spare what's left of his palms from the sub-par farming tools. Things are coming in pretty nicely, especially the new stand of trees. They're full-grown and leafy and already showing a crop of... one fluffy orange kitten with oversized paws perched on a branch, chirruping furiously. ]
You got yourself up there.
[ Rescue? Or wait another few seconds to catch M-21 sighing and stripping off his gloves as he goes to climb a tree for what appears to be the five hundredth time that day. ]
iii. wildcard
[ Catch me on my planning link or PM if you want a starter! I welcome any and all bingos or just chaos. Or just hit me with anything, he'll be Around. ]

Anyway his claws roll a 19 against the bottle, as they ought. He spears one claw very neatly through the top and drops it onto the sand before retracting them again. ]
Alright. Got it.

Here. It's supposed to be pear. Wanna try, before you ask?

He gives M-21 a thumbs up. ]
no subject
Good. That's lucky. Didn't know what you liked.
no subject
I'm not very picky.
no subject
[ So he'll stop fidgeting with his cup and try some too. ...Not bad, yeah. But he's not picky either. ]
no subject
What do you think about stars? Is stargazing fun?
no subject
Hadn't really thought about it much. You can't see them too well in the city. But... I like the outdoors. It feels free. So I guess I wouldn't mind trying it. What about you?
no subject
I just wanted to know what you thought about it. A lot of people seem to like it here.
no subject
Probably depends on where they come from. It's peaceful here. Safe. But I can't forget we're all just doing what the goddess wants, either. [ Or what he has waiting for him. It's... complicated. He lets out a quiet sigh. ] You want to get back to your own world?
no subject
I want to stay here. What the goddess asks for isn't a big deal for me anyway. I don't want to go back, so I don't have to get married either.
[ But he did all those bingo squares so that he could live in comfort. ]
no subject
[ It's more digging than he'd usually do. But he can't help but think of Ellis as a little like him. ]
no subject
Ellis just shakes his head no and points to M-21. Does he? ]
no subject
There used to be a hundred of us with numbers like me. I'm the last one. But I promised them I'd find all their names. And... I've got a lot to repay the people who took me in.
no subject
Did they all have names that weren't numbers?
no subject
[ After a moment's hesitation he tugs up his left sleeve and turns his arm to show Ellis the tattoo of the number on the inside of his wrist. ]
Which was first for you? Fifty, or Ellis?
no subject
The moment I became "Ellis" was when I could no longer go back.
no subject
...What happened?
[ If Ellis wants to say, anyway. He doesn't think he needs to specify that. ]
no subject
He takes a while, thinking of what to write on the notepad to show him. ]
Do you read books? Watch movies? Do you ever like the characters in those stories?
no subject
I watch with the kids sometimes. It's... [ Normal. In the way he likes. He gives a little encouraging nod to continue. ] ...I like seeing them get good endings.
