[ 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)

[ 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! ]


iii. WILDCARD

[ Thankfully for Dextera, that's plenty explanation to sate their curiosity. It doesn't occur to them to question why Dextera would be doing this when there's obviously no super immediate danger; "survival" is too broad of a term for them to attribute it to a dire situation. ]

Human eating habits sure are complicated... [ This comes off as more of a complaint than an observation. ] I don't know how you keep track of it all. I never thought that hard about how much work it takes for animals to survive until I got here.

[ Or that some animals would eat the bones of their similar kind? But okay. Which things can be eaten raw and which not (they learned this the hard way when they were giving out onions), how much they need to eat everyday... it's so much to think about, at least to someone who's main survival concern is to be in the sun for a few hours a day. ]

When it comes to my kind, all you have to worry about is being around light. There's not much else to it.

[ At least, not in their opinion, when they're thinking of it in terms of "basics of what I need to do to survive". There are a few more skeletons making their way towards the pair, which they heave out a sigh at, neither very concerned or interested, but lift their blade from the dirt regardless. ]

Even in fighting, I don't have to care too much if something's hardness is less than mine. For example— [ They point with their blade. ] Those skeletons there. Not that they're much of a threat to you and your appetite either...

[ That is.... very sweet. And cute, too. They're actually taken a bit off guard by the tenderness of that response, and their eyes widen a little bit as they look at him before they can control their expression fully. They almost seem a bit embarrassed when they dart their eyes away - definitely trying to play off that they appreciate him not just for his enticing bright hands, but because he's kind and open enough to offer, too. ]

Do whatever you want...

[ That's as close to a 'thank you' or an open accepting of his kindness as he'll get from Cairngorm (which is still a great feat), and they try to distract themself by swinging at the oncoming skeletons with the blunt side of their blade - the result of which, is that they all sorta knock into each other until its a pile of bones, ripe for the picking. ]
