[ 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! ]

[ brb while he gives one of the other slowly advancing skellies that was getting a little too close a good whack in the shins, sending it tumbling to the ground legless. ]
--anyway, we gotta talk about your diet, my dude. These things are probably super cursed, you know?
[ and also HUMAN(??) REMAINS, but eating curses is probably more damaging in the grand scheme of things? ]
no subject
…
[ his instinct is still to reach out for the pile of bones that has just collapsed nearby, and his fingers twitch with the desire for it, but he manages to hold back since michael did just tell him to stop and all. ]
It’s too late.
no subject
Oh god. How many did you eat?
no subject
There were skeletons when we first came to this town, too.
[ and, unsurprisingly, dextera chomped on those with even more shameless gusto than he was chomping on these before michael told him to stop. ]
no subject
Like... moving ones, or?
no subject
These were… [ he pauses. obviously they were dead, right, because they’re skeletons. ] “Inanimate.”
[ he has to spell it out because he doesn’t know how to differentiate otherwise, but that’s really what matters! he ate the desiccated remains of, probably, the people who lived here before. yum. ]
no subject
oh.
is that better?? it's probably not better, right. like, nobody was using those bones anymore but... eating dead people remains is definitely still crossing some kind of line when you're not living in some kind of blasted apocalypse world, right... ]
Oh, yikes. [ it kinda also raises the question of why so many human bones were lying around like that and if the town going colourless was what killed them, but those are questions for another time!! ] For the record: not sure how I feel about that one. But I can see how the skeleton war we got going on coulda caused a relapse.
no subject
If I’m cursed… I think I was cursed before I came here.
[ so it’s… fine? ]
no subject
... besides, the bone-crunching is Deeply Troubling, but Dextera's words rank on about the same or higher level. ]
Dude. That - that doesn't make it okay.
[ is "it" the bones? the curses? the fact that Dextera would say something like that in the first place? maybe just a bit of columns a b and c all together. ]
no subject
It’s not… OK. But it’s done.
[ hm. that doesn’t feel right, though. ]
…I’ll eat fewer bones.
no subject
I mean... glad to hear it, bud. Uh, no bones at all is probably the ideal end goal here, but. Baby steps.
[ ... and usually he'd leave it at that, change the subject to something less morbid, except. he's not sure that Dextera caught all of what Michael meant. and that sort of thing - well. it's been bothering him more than it used to, lately. ]
--you know the thing about curses is that they always get broken in the end too, right? Sleeping Beauty wakes up, the swans turn back into people, the genie gets to go free...
[ WHICH IS AN ABRUPT THING TO COME OUT WITH ALL OF A SUDDEN but look he's low-key trying to make a point here, okay, please go with him on this ]
no subject
[ oddly, even if it is abrupt, dextera almost instantly picks up on what michael must be telling him. his “curse,” for whatever it is and whatever it might jokingly be from eating too many skeletons, has to break eventually. that’s what curses do.
he’ll hear out michael’s point, though, since this sounds like it’s going to be a speech. ]
