intro + catchall!

Who: Fauna and you!
Where: Mostly Aldrip
What: An intro and a catch-all for September!
Warnings: No warnings as of yet.

i. getting used to it

[Having arrived in mid-Bon festival, Fauna's finally getting a routine going. She still hasn't taken a house for herself, though, not yet. Instead, she's been getting by by breaking into houses and curling up for a couple hours at a time in a corner, then fleeing before anyone knows she was there. She's figured out she can wash up at certain places around the docks, and she's lifted enough money that she has good clothes- Rather than blending in, though, she's dressed like a punk, complete with a leather jacket.

The problem is, this place is much smaller than Seitei. There were enough people there that even with her fox ears, she could blend in fine, just by the sheer number of people. That won't work here. So she has to figure out a new way to keep under the radar. She's got ways to hide herself, but she doesn't want to play that hand too early, so...

... She did get an offer. And she can figure out what to do with herself afterwards. Which leaves Fauna standing outside Bar Lupin, staring at it. Her tail swishes in anxiety behind her as she tries to decide whether or not to go in.

A weird punk staring daggers at a bar might be worth investigating for anyone nearby.]


ii. investigation

[That's her daytime activity. On the other hand, at night? Night is the time for monsters and heroes to roam. And she has a prime target.

Under the cover of darkness, a strange figure can be seen running across the rooftops of Aldrip. Patrolling, it might seem, looking to see if there's trouble anywhere. People let their guards down at night. The glitches might hurt people worse when their guards are down. But that doesn't take the whole night.

Instead, she knows where to focus most of her investigation: City Hall. The 'council' stays there. That's the seat of power. But it's impossible to get in. The bastards in charge are hiding there... If they're there at all.

Those others active at night may see a strange, ninja-looking figure creeping around the building. Checking the windows, trying to pick locks- And if you catch her on a bad night, you might see her trying to just blast the doors down by kicking them with explosive force.]


iii. naptime

[So if her days are spent acclimating, and her nights are spent investigating, when does she sleep? Good question! The answer is, as mentioned above, she catches naps here and there. Breaks into houses that seem empty, naps for a couple hours, then flees.

She might have picked your house, this time- She might have simply misjudged when people are absent. You could come home and find a foxgirl tucked away in your corner. Or you might find her sleeping on a park bench. Or in a tree. Or on a ledge. Or halfway under a bush.

Wherever she is, she's definitely not supposed to be sleeping there.]


iv. watch this space

[As things develop over the month, I may end up making more prompts or personalized toplevels for people! If you want to plot, you can hit me up at [plurk.com profile] lastbastion for planning threads.]
