awashlogs | [ 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! ]

…

[ 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”? ]

Pass. [ It's a damn near instantaneous response, said without the slightest bit of hesitation or politesse. There are a lot of things Fushimi is willing to do for Dex -- more than he'd like to admit, actually, because what the hell are human emotions -- but he definitely draws the line at eat bones. ]

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. ]

[ dextera is surprisingly hurt by fushimi’s hard no, even though he could have expected that, and it shows on his face—but the immediate, vulnerable reaction eases when fushimi talks himself through the answer. he’d prefer to eat them in soup. they’d hurt his teeth. yes, that makes sense. ]

…

[ dextera nods, relaxing. ]

Thank you.

[ Fushimi automatically feels a weird emotion in his chest that he can't quite place for a solid twenty seconds or so. ]

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? ]

[ probably a meal by this point, with the sheer amount of bones he’s consumed. ]

…

[ 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.
