[ OPEN/CATCH-ALL ] the crickets still sing in october.
WHO: dextera! and others!
WHERE: all around town, in a variety of places!
WHEN: october!
WHAT: an open prompt for quest 29’s skeletons (eating them), and whatever else comes up!
WARNINGS: he’s eating bones.
i. NO BONES ABOUT IT (OPEN)
[ dextera used to have a pretty healthy habit for eating bones—it used to be his thing, in fact, but lately he hasn’t had as much of a reason to eat them with all the color popping back up around town. they still provide some nutritional value to him, though, considering the way his body works, and what better to start hoarding for winter than by disassembling skeletons and biting right through their brittle bodies?
throughout the month, catch him doing this exact thing. sometimes he defeats the skeletons before chomping them, and sometimes he just rips the arm off one with his teeth like a dog. the latter, however, he’s only doing if he thinks no one is watching. ]
ii, but new. SEXY NUN COSTUME (~10/17 - 10/19)

ii, but new. SEXY NUN COSTUME (~10/17 - 10/19)
[ dextera got this costume from carving a pumpkin, and it’s probably going to stay on him for a solid three days. he can’t hide in his house for the whole time, especially once the harvest festival starts up, but he also doesn’t want to be seen in it—so of course, people have to see him in it, because that’s the way rp works.
whenever he does have to leave his house, he tries to wear a coat, but the unfortunate reality of this outfit is that still leaves his habit, the jewelry, the socks, and the heels to see from practically any angle. a more discerning eye will definitely see upon looking at him from the front that he’s wearing a dress that was definitely meant for someone with breasts. he’s wobbly walking around in the first place, and it’s only by the grace of god that the few times he trips, the back of his coat is long enough to keep from flashing his ass to the world.
let him die! ]

[ how does he salvage this. he can’t. ]
…I know.
no subject
Apparently, the idea of "Dextera eats bones" is just so weird that it takes him a few seconds to recover all the way. ]
... do you just. Eat them for fun?
[ IS THIS A CULT THING? ]
no subject
[ this is awkward. he’d had such a wonderful breakthrough with fushimi the last time they spoke, and now there’s this happening, and dextera doesn’t think there’s any way to answer his questions without digging the hole further. ]
For… sustenance.
no subject
Accepts that. Sure, Dextera can have a nice bone lunch, that's not the craziest thing that's ever happened in this place. ]
... do they taste like anything...?
[ Fushimi no stop asking questions. ]
no subject
[ the skeletons are, for now, still colorless, but dextera has plenty of experience with eating bones that do have flavor. he hesitates, uncertain about how much information fushimi actually wants. ]
Normally… they don’t taste bad. Someone said you can cook them… and they’ll taste better.
no subject
[ Listen. It's Dextera, so Fushimi is trying really hard not to be judgemental -- he lives with a guy that's possessed by a demon, after all -- but it's mostly just resulting in Fushimi sounding uncharacteristically confused. ]
no subject
[ what dextera is imagining is something more like a hearty stew of bones, whereupon being cooked they’ll turn soft and chewable like a cooked potato. he’s going to be sorely disappointed once he actually makes that happen. ]
no subject
He throws the bone out at the end. [ And no one chews it. Aren't bones and teeth made of the same stuff? There's not a dentist in Chroma, is Dex going to be okay. ]
no subject
Why would he waste it?
[ yeah! ]
no subject
It's really hard to say what's actually weird to Dextera. ]
no subject
[ yeah, no, that’s true. dextera has learned that in the months he’s spent here, but it does call into question why people in his world started doing it in the first place. it’s common knowledge, it seems, that bones can and should be consumed. ]
When the color comes back… you can try one.
[ “you can” or “you will”? ]
no subject
Unless Misaki makes soup out of them, I'm not interested. [ A pause, and then, slightly more reasonably: ] They'd hurt my teeth.
I'll... leave them for you. [ Out of. Friendship. Or something. ]
no subject
…
[ dextera nods, relaxing. ]
Thank you.
i actually whispered "noooo" softly when i read this tag
Uh... yeah. You're welcome. [ Oh! It's guilt! That's what that was! Guilt for potentially hurting Dex's feelings. God, people are weird about food and eating habits. Fushimi doesn't understand it in the slightest. At any rate -- now that he feels a little like he's made a complete mess of things -- Fushimi leans backwards, angling his body like he might leave. ]
I'll -- uh, let you get back to your. ...meal? [ ...snack? ]
dextera CARES
…
[ he nods again, self-consciously brushing his thumb against the corner of his mouth like bones are the kind of thing that could potentially spill on his skin. ]
Another time.
