mingle a little Mor tonight

[catamite]

Who: Everyone!
Broadcast: Sure!
Action: The wonderful world of Mor, nearby way-stations, and ships!
When: The first week or so of arrival

[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

It's just not as bright anymore, okay?

[why did he come over to be nice to you. why is he friends with you. why.]

[heresyandlace]

Fine. My mistake.

[...and, boy, there's a pause where he almost keeps his mouth shut. he's so close...]

You're going white.

[same goddamn thing. you're old.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I came here to call you gorgeous, and this is how you treat me?

I'm hurt, Tek.

[he sounds so. dead inside.]

[heresyandlace]

Were you really?

[maybe a little bit of genuine surprise under there somewhere, behind all of the bullshittery.]

And I think the change looks good on you. It makes you look... distinguished.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[...] I don't think that's much better.

[heresyandlace]

You're being oversensitive. I think it looks nice.

[he'll even reach back to pet him on his head.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he... grumbles a little, but can't complain after getting headpats.]

Okay...

[heresyandlace]

[he must be feeling better, because he finally puts the mirror away. he'll face the world with living skin and blue eyes, without the guide of his constant reflection.

and he half-turns to face Robin a little more properly, then.]

I do miss the eyes, though.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[...he sighs, just a little, pulling himself back up into a better mood. and to stand on his own two feet instead of draping all over Tek.]

Me too. I think I make a rather boring human.

[heresyandlace]

It comes with the territory, I think.

[he stretches out his shoulders, now that someone isn't hanging on them.]

They can't have you competing for attention with all the lovely potato sacks out there. You'll disrupt the rustic charm that we're all so excited to surround ourselves with.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Delighted. Thrilled, certainly.

[he stretches out his neck, too--but just because he can't hold still.]

First stop, some better clothes. I'm not even sure if this is my shirt...

[heresyandlace]

[yeah, Tek takes an extra minute in eyeing that shirt, because it seems awfully familiar. but he won't comment, just in case he's wrong. he doesn't want to know whose it really is.]

And your second stop?

[what's your plan, friend?]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

The nobles, perhaps. That castle might be worth a visit.

[nobles are probably one of his least favorite kinds of people, but they have better food and comfy beds. perks!]

[heresyandlace]

To cause trouble, or work your way into the club?

[because both seem equally likely, in his mind.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I can't do both? Honestly, if I'm to stay here a whole month...

[equally likely.]
