~Prompt #5: Cutting Corners~

“Do you have any idea how IRRISPONSIBLE, CHILDISH and STUPID you are??? How much trouble you’ve now caused?”  The enraged voice belonged to an understandably angry Raen man.  “The house is a mess! The Chocobos are all in a huff and there are drunk Namazu wandering about the premise!!!! What in Azim’s name made you think this was a good idea???”  

-Record Scratch-

“You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this little predicament... Well... It all began with...”

"Chores!?!?!?! But I wanted to work on my tan!!!!!”  Whining loudly, the Seeker flicked her fluffy tail in protest, ears lowering as her signature pout and kitten-eyes appeared on her lovely face. “That wont work with me.  Everyone in the Company has to pull their weight, and that includes you. No freeloading.”  Despite the soft voice, the small Raen woman held firm and stood, hands on hips, over their bed where N’akani was sprawled out painting her nails. Another high pitch whine left the Seeker and she rolled on her back in a huff.  “But Ame... The house is already clean though, and I did a chore yesterday.” A chore, which she had done poorly and the Raen had been forced to redo correctly hours later.  Giving a frustrated sigh, Ame scowled at her mooch of a girlfriend and shook her head.  “No ifs, ands, or buts! You need to sweep the Chocobo stables, wash the bar dishes and dust the main rooms upstairs and in the basement.  At most it should take you maybe two or three hours.  Then come to the tea house to relieve Isanii for her break.” All in all, it was not much of a difficult request considering the Seeker did not pay for food or rent, and at most she would spend a few hours out of her day actually helping out. “Hmphf, fiiiiine.”  As if N’akani really had a choice at the moment. Locking eyes with the doll-like Raen, her expression softened.  “Will you make me that honey and almond cake again?”  It was her favorite from the tea house, but something Ame rarely made since the cake was time consuming and delicate. After considering the request, Ame finally caved and rolled her eyes.  “Alright, but only if you do everything I’ve asked of you.  I’ll be in the infirmary most of the day, so when I’m done I’ll come to the tea house and make it for you to eat after your shift.”  A fair deal really, considering N’akani’s jobs were so simple a mammet could complete them. “Deal!!!”  

- - -

It wasn’t until after the Raen had left that it dawned on the Seeker that she actually had to do the work now... And she had just painted her nails too. Grumbling to herself, N’akani decided to start with dusting, since it was the easiest of the jobs and the one she could slack the most with.  Taking the small feather duster, she made her way to the main room where a sound caught her attention. “I win yes yes!” “No, you cheated yes! “I saw, he won he won yes!” The three Namazu were playing a board game at the main table, and badly at that. They were technically members of the company, even though their employment was more of a hindrance sometimes, and they certainly weren’t the brightest.  Usually they were there to keep others company and ensure there was always someone at the Company House during extended times. Occasionally they did small chores under direct supervision. !!!!

An idea struck her. Namazu were rather agreeable, and they loved tea as much as she loved alcohol, with a similar effect as well.  She worked at the tea house, full of tea...  A plan formulated in her head and the Seeker plotted.  Approaching them, she used her sweetest voice to first try and persuade the three to help with chores, but they were getting wise to her over the months.  They declined quite quickly, ignoring her honied words and begging eyes.

Time for plan B! “Wellllllll... How about a trade? You help me with just a few wee chores, and I make you some tea!  With the three of you it would go so much faster!” In her mind, this was perfect.  One Namazu to clean the dishes, one to dust the rooms and a third to clean the stables.  Everything would get done in less time, meaning she could sneak in a nap before her shift at the tea house. “Maybe trade yes... But want tea now yes!” The first was stubborn, and from his words the other two agreed.  “Some tea now yes! We do chores, then rest of tea after!” “Yes yes! Good deal!” Narrator: It was, in fact, a horrible deal. - - - Unfortunately, N’akani misunderstood how effective the tea was for the little catfish, and after making them a pot and assigning their tasks, she went for her nap. Despite a pleasant sleep, she was awoken with someone yelling her name in fury.  The voice belonged to nonother that her other partner Kaze.  He was yelling her name and stomping through the house. It was at this moment, she knew, she fucked up.

- - -

“And that is how we got to this point...” Ultimately, N’akani spent the rest of the evening cleaning under supervision from both Raens.  One could hope the Miqo’te woman learned her lesson... But it was doubtful.

Drawn

for @efkgirldetective's summer of jily, prompt #5 - activity: stargazing.

---

She’s tried not to spend the whole evening just watching him. A challenge, but she’s always liked a challenge, and this feels like one of the biggest she’s faced. Don’t stare at James Potter. Don’t let yourself be drawn back into that orbit.

The thing is, she likes it. She finds herself seeking him out, now, sitting with him in the common room or ambling down to Quidditch practice at his side or sitting opposite him in the Great Hall, where she can look right into those beguiling hazel eyes and let that smile warm her to the tips of her fingers.

Yeah. She’s pretty far gone.

But she’d usually rather be there, with him but apart from him, than try to fight that pull, try to push back against whatever it is that’s deep inside her, desperate for his attention. She has never wanted to be that kind of girl, and especially not with him, but here she is, finding herself willing to do just about anything if it means he looks at her again and talks to her again.

Exams finished this morning, and the seventh years were given a later curfew to celebrate the occasion. The Gryffindors piled out of the Great Hall after lunch, collapsed in a heap by the lake, and had barely moved since, basking in the sun, brains overwhelmed, eyes hazy with exhaustion. At one point, moved by a sudden burst of energy, James had leapt up, stripped down to his boxers and raced Sirius into the cool, murky waters. Lily had allowed herself a minute or two of watching, as covertly as she could under the wide brim of her sunhat, admiring the way the droplets snaked down his torso, the way his muscles flexed and eased as he grappled with his best friend, cackling with glee.

She pretended to read her book for five minutes, then idled over to the shallows, lifting the hem of her dress to stand with Remus, taking in the scene as if she hadn’t been watching intently not that long ago. It was all a careful dance, this, being around him, hoping to catch his attention but not be seen to be doing it all at the same time. She even laced her fingers through Remus’ at one point, laughing just a little bit louder than she needed to at what he had said.

James didn’t look over.

FFxivWrite 2021 Prompt 5: Badness

“And now remember.. you do not tell Momma about this, alright?”

The roegadyn gave a playfully stern stare down from that one eye at the two-year old, getting several head bobbled nods and a giggle in reply. She holds a finger up to her lips before taking a cookie that was big even by her standards and bending it in half. Even divided, it was massive, sugary, and filled with sweet chunks of chocolate that the young boy had no business having. Most of all given it was about a bell away from dinner time and Sana already had the meal cooking. But tiny hands soon held their prize all the same.

The young geko’te immediately shoves as much of the cookie into his mouth as he can manage before gnawing away, only giggling a little through his chewing. As he works his way through that mouthful of pre-dinner dessert the boy takes to a broad, puffy cheeked grin and starts wiggling around and bouncing his arms through a simple little dance. One that his sea wolf mother immediately recognizes as the ‘I am getting away with being bad’ dance and can’t help but smile at it, at least this once.

Pirates are born to break the rules, after all.

Wumptober Day 5: Failed Escape (Kiera Snow)

Whumptober: @thethistlegirlwrites @linariouswrites @doubi-ixi​

Dragon art under cut

Kiera had freed her ankles and was just waiting for the moment the guards were just distracted enough to let her get out and find the others. The changing of the guards was a very careful dance. There were always eyes on the high risk, charismatic prisoner who still pretended she was still bound. Except one of the guards was still inexperienced. 

Kiera stood and opened the door smoothly, slipping into the shadows the instant his eyes were turned. She crept along the halls as quickly as she dared. She knew it wouldn’t be long before it was found out she had left. 

She turned a corner and could smell Laurance just ahead. She stepped up to the cell and peered in. Laurance was bound, gagged, and blindfolded. The bad guys were always so much more careful with semni than with anything else. 

Kiera opened the door and stepped in, hiding carefully in the shadows in the corner. It didn’t sound like anyone was looking for her yet. She turned her attention back to Laurance who had tilted his ears towards her and pulled his bound legs to his chest a little tighter. 

Kiera stepped across the room and reached behind his head to pull the blindfold off. Laurance flinched away as she did and opened his eyes as she reached for the gag. His eyes widened in panic. Kiera pulled his gag out, making his muffled words clear. “Trap!”

Kiera turned as three guards jumped her from seemingly behind the walls. Laurance lashed out with his legs, tripping one and Kiera smashed her palm into the face of the guard coming on her right. The left one stepped over the man Laurance tripped and swung at Kiera. She ducked down with a hiss and pushed off into his stomach, using Laurance’s knees as an axis to trip the guard. The man who had been the first to go down reached out his hand and hissed something in a strange language. Kiera went down with a choked cry as he managed to cast Hold Person on her. 

The three men stood over her as she lay on her side, unable to move. 

Laurance was silent as the guard hoisted Kiera up to take her back to her cell. She did hear his muffled shout of pain as she was being led down the hall. The mage was gagging him again and probably getting some payback for getting tripped up first thing when the scuffle started. Kiera knew she'd receive some pain as well, for causing the guards so much trouble. So much trouble for a failed escape.

Prompt #5 - Matter of Fact

Dear Fairwind Family,

By now, you’ve most certainly been made aware of my absence. It wasn’t that I wanted to steal away in the middle of the night without proper goodbyes but I felt that it would be easier for all parties involved. My decision to leave is not based on any resentment towards any of you. If anything, I hold you all very dear to my heart and our connection through blood means that we are never truly separated. No matter the distance between us, I will always be thinking of you and home. 

The fact of the matter is that I could no longer live a lie. The expectations that I’ve always felt were being imposed upon me were not ones that I had chosen for myself. As much as everyone assumed I was meant to live the quiet life in the village, much like my mother and grandfather, that was never further from the truth.

 I am also my father’s daughter and my grandmother’s kin. Both were wanderers that appreciated the ties and warmth that came from living in our community. They were embraced even though they were outsiders and contributed so many happy memories for us all. My desire to see the world is not a reflection of you but I do not have it in me to be a fisherman’s wife. The world is so vast and filled with so many marvels that I wish to see. Mysteries that I want to unravel and people I want to meet. I want to taste new foods and see new sights. I want to learn all there is about things outside of the village. I want to grow, like wildflowers that spread across the hills despite the adversities they face. This isn’t a goodbye. I promise you that I will come back and visit. My home will always be with you all and as long as you are there, so will my heart. What allowance I can make, I will send back to help with the expenses of the cottage. I apologize for any inconvenience that it’s upkeep might entail but I wouldn’t trust its care to anyone else.

With all my love as I step into the great unknown,

Alysia Fairwind

Day Book #23

Prompt #5

There were many learning moments throughout this trip. My very first learning moment here was figuring out the conversion of the pound to the US dollar. I learned that for every pound that I spend it is equal to one dollar and thirty-three cents, which was difficult to get at first. Once I understood the conversion, I was able to budget the trip better. I also thought about how it must be more difficult to come here from any other country besides America or ones that use the Euro, because the pound is worth so much. The next big learning moment I had was the medicine here. I had really bad allergies when I got here and didn’t think to bring allergy medicine. I went to Boots to get allergy medicine, but there was no normal allergy medicine there, just some generic Boots medicine. I eventually found one that would work, because I had to read all the ingredients. If I hadn’t been able to speak English then I would have been out of luck. I also learned how to get around the city of London, which to me is a big accomplishment. I don’t normally pick up directions or figuring out how to get from place to place very well. I finally got the hang of the tube the second week we were here and I never felt more proud of myself before. I got myself and a small group of people to Camden town and to SoHo without any help. The way people are around here and the little things they do differently from Americans was very hard to get used to as well. Like how they like to stop randomly in the middle of a walkway or how they are very quiet talkers, which I am not, or how they say “take-away” instead of “take-out” or “to-go”. None of these are major issues, but in order to fit in a little bit you needed to learn these little things they do, which I have. The hard part now will be to stop doing it once I get back to the States. The majority of my learning moments were me getting used to the way things are done around here, but this one is not like that and is probably the biggest learning moment I have had all trip. This trip I learned so much more about who I am as a person, than I have doing anything else in my life. I wont go into what I found out, but this trip, the classes, these people have shown me who I truly am and that is what I am thankful for the most.
