September Catchall - Counteraction Rising

Who: Shiroe and you!
When: Between September 12th and the start of the September Event
Where: ADI Library, Bonnie's (kitchen and bathroom),
Summary: Catchall
Warnings: Discussion of burn scars in third (bathroom) prompt, may also tie into self-esteem/depression discussion


ADI Library
Shiroe's been doing research into the folklore and legends of Gloucester, ranging from haunted places kids dare each other to go to the historical rumors of witchcraft. It's been long hours of work, squinting at books and articles. However, he's been neglecting himself a little in the process, leading to him falling asleep at his seat in the library. Someone might want to wake him up before he drools on that historical newspaper clipping, perhaps...

Bonnie's (Kitchen)
A small collection of energy drinks has been accumulating in the fridge in the kitchen at Bonnie's. For someone who's new to America (and perhaps a few years behind the present day), all the varieties and flavors are exciting. Regardless of your reason for entering the kitchen today, you find a certain Enchanter, trying to find room in the fridge for a couple more, including a Reign White Gummy Bear and a Bang Cotton Candy.

"I doubt it actually tastes like cotton candy. Which is good, I think the circus might have soured me on it." He hasn't looked up to see who's in the kitchen with him, just heard footsteps and decided to engage.

Bonnie's (Shared Bathroom)
The burns from Pyre's slap have mostly healed, but it seems there will be some scarring, three small puckers from where Pyre's fingertips first made contact before hot wax hit the rest of his face. Shiroe's leaning into a mirror, examining those scars quietly, trying to figure out how he feels about them.

He's never taken particular pride in his appearance, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right? Riiight?

If that's the case, then why can't he stop looking at the scars, even when someone else walks into the bathroom?

[Aelwyn leaves the door open as she raises her eyebrows at him.]

Wow. I suppose our dear Pyre really left a mark. [She squints looking closer.] It's not too noticable, though. Don't worry about it.

[See, she can be nice. She closes the door behind her as she goes to wash her hands.]
aelwyn_aberration: (smug chuckle)

Well, certainly not with that attitude. [For shame, Shiroe. Forfeiting before the first round...

She's completely clueless to whatever awkward crisis he's having in his head, or maybe she just doesn't care.]


Does it hurt beyond what would be expected of a normal burn scar?
aelwyn_aberration: (pause real quick)

That'll happen with a burn scar. [She frowns.] Maybe go to Caduceus Clay about it. He's a cleric, he can probably get rid of it.

[Not that it particularly matters, really. It's the tiniest scar.] Next time... probably just try to leave the getting hit to the uhm... [Gives him a onceover.] ...sturdier people. Or else you'll probably just die if you keep going with that strategy.
aelwyn_aberration: (i'm already high enough)

[personal profile] aelwyn_aberration 2021-09-22 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Your loss.

My advice would be to leave the goading people into using their powers to the big kids too. [It wouldn't have even hurt her... Oh well, can't help being the superior wizard.]
aelwyn_aberration: (would u look at that)

[personal profile] aelwyn_aberration 2021-09-22 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
You're certainly welcome. [She says, even though it obviously fell on deaf ears. Maybe being a bitch doesn't always work in terms of getting people to do what she wants.]

I'll leave you to keep checking yourself out in the mirror.
