nugget piper (church)

[Even spirits like to take breaks sometimes. Which for Cole means spending some quality time hanging out with the wildlife. For better or worse, this sometimes results in being followed.]

[Which is how he ends up sitting cross-legged on the ground near the church, idly petting a nug chicken creature in his lap... with around five more waddling around in his general vicinity. Watch out for eggs.]

[There's one of those brush-tailed critters with green paint exploring nearby too, though he encouraged it to keep any marking or graffiti away from the church. It belongs to someone, after all.]

ghosts don't knock ok (merlaut)

[Cole has never seen a structure like this one, plus it wasn't here before, so of course he goes to investigate. While the area inside the entrance is very spacious, all he can find aside from that are long hallways of strangely identical rooms. Maybe this place came from a memory that had only seen one room? But they look like rooms that can be lived in, with beds. That should be good, for the people here- though no one here needs to sleep, that he's aware of.]

[But even if signs indicate all the rooms are the same inside, he's still going to try looking through all of them. Perhaps even yours, if you've already moved in and forgot to lock your door.]

going out with a splash (caves/beach)

[theforgottenboy]

[The addition of darkness to the world made exploring the caves a more difficult endeavor, but it hasn't been enough to stop him. It's tricky at times, but after letting his eyes adjust he can at least roughly see where he's going.]

[Unfortunately, it's not enough for him to spot the uneven bit of damp cave floor before it sends him tumbling into the adjacent river where he is swept away by the fast moving water.]


[After a literally unknowable amount of time, he's more or less spat out by the mountain and onto the beach, where the flow slows enough that he can finally drag himself out of the water on hands and knees, coughing and dazed. As it turns out, getting water in your lungs still kinda sucks even if you don't need to breathe.]

[His hat is currently missing, though he'd look not unlike a drowned rat even if he wasn't thoroughly drenched.]

[Do whatever you want!! And/or hit me up on plurk orcashark]

closed to Akechi

[theforgottenboy]

[Figuring out how to help Akechi without seeing into his mind has been difficult, but he's starting to get an idea of why that is, in a way. Cole had been hesitant to spar with him as part of his agreement to teach him to use daggers, but Akechi had no such reservations. He wouldn't be the first person he'd met who enjoys fighting, whatever the underlying reasons may be. Still, he's not usually anyone's sparring partner. But he tries his best.]

[It's when they take a break that he comments on it, leaning against a tree behind Heavenly Blanc.]

Do you like fighting?

[Once he has an idea of a way to help, he just needs to find the supplies to successfully make it happen. It shouldn't take much, but the most obvious place that he knows of to find what he needs is Heavenly Blanc. There are lots of things there that can hold liquids. It shouldn't hurt if he only takes a few.]

[Though, people can see him now. That makes this more difficult to do without being noticed. He could wait until there is no one there, but with no time of day in existence here, it's hard to tell how long he would have to wait for that. So he just bides his time until there's a moment when it's slow and no one is behind the counter before he makes his way behind it, finding the cupboards where drinking glasses are stacked. Five should be enough...]

[He leaves a couple of eggs in the cupboard while he's at it. Just for good measure.]
