WHO: Noé and you!
WHAT: Spring catch-all
WHEN: Thorughout spring
WHERE: Wherever
WARNINGS: N/A, if something comes up this will be updated!

( I )

[ Noé happens to be in the town when he notices a familiar white cat wandering around the town square. As soon as he confirms it's his cat, Noé rushes to pick him up. ]

Murr! You're here! You haven't married anyone!

[ What is this nonsense. Also, Murr welcomes him with claws to the face because he doesn't remember agreeing to be picked up.]

( II )

[ Whether you're talking to Noé or just passing by, he'll... wrap his arms around you to pull you into a hug. ]

I'm sorry, I'm... very... sleepy...

[ He's already dozed off. This is the power of the random effects. ]

( Wildcard )

[ Always open to more threads and writing closed starters, hit me up on plurk @ koohii or discord @ mad#1460 for plotting. Also here's his plotting comment and bingo! ]

[ She's in the area and just happens to be standing by, watching this unfold, from start to finish. The right thing to do here would be to help him pry the cat off of his face, but instead, Mona will just approach and place her hands on her hips, regarding him with some degree of judgment. ]

Did you really just tell your cat that should get married?

[ Oh, someone was here all along. Noé was just too excited to see Murr here to notice, so he's a little flustered. Just a little, though. ]

No, I was worried that he had already married some other cat and went home.

[ That's different! ]

[ Sir?? She lets out a quiet sigh and glances at Murr. A cat getting married. What a funny thought. ]

I don't believe that's how it works.

[ She says that under her breath though, and looks at the sour cat that had just been scratching at Noe seconds ago. ]

I have a cat of my own that may be...ample company for yours, if you're worried about him finding a companion of sorts.

To be fair, I haven't heard about cats getting married before either... I suppose we're both stuck in here.

[ He can't imagine himself getting married, so. At least Murr will be here. ]

We could arrange something! He's very friendly, just look at him.

[ Murr's face is literally 눈_눈 this. And Noé's scratch might be bleeding a bit. So friendly. ]

I haven't seen you around here before. I'm Noé!

( continued from here )

[ There's no point in arguing with Owen, at least not now when he's processing his answer. ]

Excuse me?

[ The reality of the situation sinks in inexorably until it finally clicks and Noé winces. ]

I must have committed some grave sin.

[He doesn't laugh, but laughter might be preferred over the incredibly smug look on Owen's face, and the way he leans in to Noé's space. It exaggerates the difference in their heights, but Owen doesn't seem to mind the way he has to crane his head up.

He places a hand on his chest, completely disregarding their personal bubbles.]

You must have done something truly detestable to end up with me. How dreadful. I'm not sure there's any salvation waiting for you, as it must have been too abhorrent to be forgiven.

[ Sir, this is gay. Noé not taking a step back is also lowkey gay. Owen sounds just like his companion from home and it almost makes him let out a groan. On the other hand, he already knows that Owen and people like him live off being insufferable, so... ]

I think I'll live. Have you ever been carried before?

[ This question might sound nonsensical, but he has a plan, promise. ]

[Some people are just very gay, Noé! Some gay people also just want to be very off putting.]

Carried?

[…]

If you pick me up, I’ll kill you.

[With what power?]

[ Noé just grabs him unceremoniously and goes for the over-the-shoulder carry. ]

Sure, you can. Just help me with weeds first. I'm not doing that all on my own.

Edited 2022-12-26 12:00 (UTC)

[HELLO?]

Put me down, you absolute brute!

[His elbows are sharp and he’s not afraid to use them, as he flails wildly.]

Oof.

[ Being poked by these elbows hurts, but he tries not to complain too much. That would give Owen satisfaction and it's the last thing Noé wants. ]

I'm Noé, not brute. Call me by my name, please.

[ Time to casually walk all the way to their farm. ]

( continued from here )

The right person...

[ He gets a bit worked up after that explanation only to cast his eyes down and turn silent the next moment. It doesn't take long for him to raise his head, though. ]

It sounds difficult. There are so many people, even here.

Doesn't that just improve your chances of finding that person?

[ Honestly, it sounds easier because there are so many people... ]

Technically... yes. If it was just you and me...

[ He trails off, processing this in his own mind. The final outcome is a blush spreading across his cheeks because he surely did suggest something. ]

What if there's no such person?

[ Hello?? You can't just say stuff like that so casually!!

Gaku clears his throat, mildly embarrassed. ]

There is. You'll find them.

[ But life's easier when you say stuff like that casually!! ]

I'm sure you will, too. Perhaps even faster than me. By the way, I'm Noé... I forgot to introduce myself.

[ That's definitely a good moment to do it. ]

Gaku Yaotome.

[ Perfect moment for an introduction. ]

I really don't think I'll find someone faster than you.

Time will tell.

[ He can't help but smile. ]

[ He laughs, finding that smile contagious. ]

Yeah, I guess it will. Whatever happens... good luck.

( continued from here! )

[ Speaking of complications... ]

Does your card also contain... [ A pause. How should he describe smut? Instead of using words, Noé just starts gesturing chaotically. ] Some scandalous squares?

[ Scandalous, that's the way. ]

Ones that reference copulation? [He can see Noé is trying to be indirect but... better to clarify. He isn't worried about trying to accomplish them right now.] Yes, that seems to be very common.

It's common?

[ He's seen a few cards, but it looks like he hasn't been paying attention to The Squares That Matter. Noé blanks for a moment, letting the reality sink in. ]

Maybe I should become a carpenter or something. I would give free upgrades to people.

[ They wouldn't have to have sex for an airtight roof. ]

Oh, are you handy? The buildings seem to be disrepair, so I think many people could use some assistance with patching things up.

Not really, but I could learn... I think. Still, I can carry heavy things.

[ To demonstrate, he's going to try to lift the task board. And fail because he doesn't have his cool vampire powers. ]

... I can't carry heavy things.

[Syrlya cringes.] Maybe there is something else you can do to help.

I can... work as a waiter.

[ That's literally the only job experience he has. ]

Or just help with bingos.

[ Is he trying to make that a profession. ]

[There's a pause before Syrlya claps his hand once on Noé shoulder in reassurance.] You'll figure it out.

[Good luck man, you're gonna need it.]

[ He is an innocent passerby, and also too unsuspecting to dodge a sudden grab. A surprise attack?!

...No, just a tall guy with short guy energy apparently about to pass out in the middle of nowhere. M-21 catches him by the shoulder in case he's actually going to fall. ]

H-hey...

[ No one is safe when the effects hit, not even innocent passersby. ]

I'm sorry, I really am...

[ Noé makes an attempt to straighten his back... only to lean against M-21 even more. ]

Sleep... with... me....

[ It was supposed to be I need sleep, but I don't have my pillow with me, but he's too drowsy to say that properly. ]

[ Noé... bold?? But M-21 has a literal mind, despite the reflex to wonder 'is this one of those damn bingos again.' ]

Then we'd both fall over.

[ Can he... how does he pick up a guy who is holding onto him. M-21 wiggles a little to see if he can figure this out. ]

We can sleep... here.

[ He's getting bolder and bolder. Or maybe just more drowsy with each passing moment. ]

Please... don't go.

[ Wiggling meets a tighter hug because he needs someone to embrace while he's falling asleep :) ]

Where would I go when you're hanging on like a koala?!

[ Asking rhetorical questions to a sleeping man: productive. Could he pry this guy off with werewolf strength? Probably. Instead he takes a few shuffling steps to see if he can haul him slowly towards literally anywhere better-suited for sleeping. ]

[ At least Noé is cooperating in that regard and tugging him along shouldn't be too hard. His eyes are closed, but he mumbles every now and then. ]

I'm... sleepy... Noé.

[ That's one way to introduce oneself for sure. ]

What...is... koala?

[ Only important questions. ]

[ Congratulations, he'll now permanently be "SleepyNoé" in M-21's heart. Undignified shuffling progress continues for a little longer until M-21 finally stops in his tracks to find out if he can just pick him up. ]

It's... a bear. [ ??? ] Huge claws. [ ????? ]

[ "SleepyNoé" is still better than "SleepyNoé69". ]

I don't... have claws. I have...fangs.

[ Is he even awake or just sleep talking? Probably the latter, to be honest. ]

[ There's still time for an upgrade. For the moment, he's getting his sleepy nonsense self slowly hauled back to his farm, courtesy of the goddess's little map in the pamphlets. ]

You don't look like you've got fangs.

[ Show him, sleep-talking guy. ]

[ It’s hard to prove himself as a vampire with magnificent fangs when he’s asleep, so his word (sleep talk?) will have to do. ]

All vampires have fangs… and I’m a vampire…

[ Wow, M-21 probably just strained something whipping his head around. ]

What, the human kind?

[ ...Probably too hard a question for a sleeppire. ]

[ Better get used to it, M-21... if you want to have anything to do with this guy in the future... ]

Humans are... kind. Some... of them.

[ Definitely too difficult. ]

You are... kind.

[ That's actually a pretty sufficient answer for "what kind of vampire are you." Just for that, Noé lugging gets a little gentler. ]

I'm not human.

You don't have to be... human... to be kind.

[ That's a fairly coherent sentence considering his state. Maybe it's just something important to say. ]
