[August Catch-All + Backdated July Events]
Who: Dara & you
Where: Around Aldrip and its forest areas. Chainsaw massacre apartment complex for Gnosia event.
What: Backdated July event prompts-- AU with Dara turning into her ORIGINAL HUMAN SELF & Dara eating people cuz gnosia afflicted
Warnings: assume likely violence, body horror, & death
AUGUST
August 1st-5th
[Dara can be found walking around different stores around in her human disguise. Seriously, any store will do because she's desperate. So desperate, in fact, that she'll eventually engage anyone she walks past enough times to ask a question:]
What do guys like for presents? [TRYING TO BE A GOOD GIRLFRIEND OK. Sure, she could get Shinjiro cooking related equipment, but that also doesn't feel right to her. How is this unexpectedly challenging?!]
{More August prompts will be added once more details drop.}
BACKDATED JULY
AU Event - Koharu
1. Network: Video @ Dara
[The person behind the screen is Dara... except not. The most obvious clue are the missing slits that run through the middle of the god's cheeks. And, oddly enough, this "Dara" somehow looks both livelier and more aloof than usual. Throughout the time she talks, her gaze never reaches the camera while keeping her head tilted slightly downward:]
If what I learned is correct, then perhaps my words can reach you still...Tsubaki-oneesan. If you are there, please forgive me-- my ignorance must have led me into this illusion. I cannot find the end of it, and I've lost the beginning. Please take pity on your foolish sister and guide me home.
[Excessively polite. The camera jostles, showing a glimpse of Dara's lookalike begins prostrating herself on the forest floor until the angle only shows the canopy of tree branches overhead.]
2. Survivor - Forest Edition
[During the next day or so after her arrival, the priestess has decided to spend most of her time in the forest. It was where she woke up, so it's the place that deserves the most investigation. Besides, interacting with any of the city natives makes her skin crawl. To her spiritual senses, they resonate like empty husks that act far too human. It's disturbing.
The kosode and hakama's colors may stand out against the forest greenery, but somehow "Dara" manages to stay hidden for the most part. She has lived in the mountains, after all, so she knows how to stay out of sight and survive in the wilderness. However, she is still human. Someone could easily catch her snoozing up in a tree, scarred hands gripping her katana in a way that would make it easy to unsheathe if awoken to danger. Unlike a god, she also needs to eat; the priestess can be found occasionally wading into a river in only her kosode while attempting to catch fish.]
3. City Girl
[When "Dara" does visit the city, she can typically be found people-watching on a park bench. Any other Choosen who passes by receive a confused stare, although she's quick to turn her gaze downward if their eyes lock onto hers. Of course, for someone who isa giant nerd desperate for answers, she can also be encountered at the library with the table before her piled high with books. The poor priestess looks like she's going through the worst headache with how intensely her brow is furrowed while she flips through pages upon pages.]
Gnosia Event
Day 3
[Dara has been making herself scarce for the most-part...other than going the extra mile of consuming any corpses left behind by other Gnosia-infected. This is her way of desperately hanging onto her humanity, lest the true Yamatagi Madara attempt to interfere again.
It's quite unlucky for her when she wakes up in the square with the collective Chosen-- she's not exactly sure when she lost consciousness, but at least she's quick to shapeshift into her human disguise before most others can wake. At least having legs made out of braided snake tails is less obvious than a giant one? In any case, the curse god scowls to herself and crosses her arms in a way that she can hide her hands in the yukata's sleeves. Some sort of messed up questionnaire, huh?]
...I get the short end of the stick from the get-go. Great. [Dara waves her hand dismissively at the person across from her:] Obviously I'm not "human"-- I'm a curse god. Different from this Gnosia thing, but whatever. It's your responsibility to give me whatever label you want, I guess. Anyways...
The only times I enjoy it are when I deem that the other person deserves it. Or if they pissed me off. Otherwise, I don't really care. [Question #1: GREEN.]
...When I was alive, my twin sister betrayed me by having my limbs cut off. [Question #2: GREEN.]
...Failing my duty. [Question #3: GREEN.]
...I'm a god. Of course I've killed people. [Rolling her eyes at this one. Questions #4: GREEN.]
...This one... [Dara clicks her tongue at the fifth and is quiet for an uncomfortable amount of time before muttering:] Nothing. Happiness was never my goal after becoming a god.
[GREEN! Looks like Dara's given a break for her partner to answer the first five of their questions now.]

Since this is a catch-all, feel free to throw down starters or PM for plotting purposes.

As for what he finds cool...]
Do you fight? I always think it's cool to see new moves.
[There's a beat. He's seen a lot of powerful people and demons over the last couple years, so he takes a moment to think about what stands out.]
A buddy of mine absorbed a demon dragonfire called the darkness flame, once. It was supposed to incinerate him on contact but he survived and he can control it now. Pretty awesome.
