Wildcard

[Being an ostella has been incredibly stressful. Lucy has her face buried in one of the stuffed animals that baited her here and has been trying to mentally block out the situation. When she hears a familiar voice, she turns her head. Briefly comforted, until she realizes an unfortunate fact:]

... I can't understand you.

[Spoken in plain English. She was scooped up shortly after encountering the Banshee, which has contributed to her almost timid behavior. It's one thing to be carried off to a blanket fort, but when you can't understand your astella or vice-versa? What's the point of yelling after a while?

She's so stressed. At least the effects of moonlace cuddling feel nice enough to melt away her fears. Lucy curls up around her stuffed animal (some horrific wannabe bear,) and glares over its head at Ranpo.]

If you can't speak English, Ranpo, I'm going to start screaming.

Courtship (Ostella)

[Lucy had given her apartment to some nesting dragons. Not lost it to but had given it to. That didn't mean she was happy about her forced generosity. There was an occasional stomp to her step as she marched around the city. Too chroma drained to hide in Anne's Room anymore, but too proud to ask anyone for help finding shelter.

And, to top it all off, haunted by her ostella need for attention. Particularly, by the way her heart and mind crave a certain tiger more than usual. It makes her so angry, because Lucy hates to have daydreams and expectations concerning him. He doesn't disappoint and that's annoying!

So when her tsun war path is blocked by Atsushi, Lucy isn't charmed (outwardly,) by his offered flowers. She stomps when stopping, a glare meeting his sincere expression.]

... Hi. [Those better not be for her. You know how many times she's dreamed of a boy giving her brace face some flowers? Not today and not you, Atsushi.] You need something, tabby cat?

C. TRANSLATION PLEASE

[After explorations gone wrong, Lucy lost her ability to speak or understand Japanese. It was shocking to her how isolated it made her feel. She had tried to reach out to her friends with the network, but found she couldn't comprehend their old text messages. Why would she be able to understand new ones?

Nope. Best to give up. Go to Anne's Room, maybe, and pray this would 'wear off.' That was the plan... Until she saw a sign. And, most importantly, the person holding it. Her eyes mist with tears. She can read that.

Lucy wipes her eyes with her sleeve, then stomps up to him.]

Atsushi-sensei! Can - you - understaand me?? [Please say "yes."]

i'm so sorry

"I'm sorry to have made you spend,
Was that chroma very much money?
Do I count as your friend,
though I'm not quite as sunny?

You are much brighter,
kind, brave, more clever.
While I'm more a flighter,
rude, weak, honest never.

Perhaps if I follow your lead,
I could someday that person be,
kind and wise, with fears freed,
Sunny and sweet, more like thee.

Your only flaw being sugar greed."

"Blooming, fuming, always looming,
These feelings, chaotic, kept at bay.
Assuming, glooming, all Consuming,
I'll follow you all the way.

Though you're dumb, I still succumb,
to your stupid, annoying, charming,
brave, kind, thick-headed,
reckless, worrying, idiotic,
wonderful way.

And I hope together we stay.

Once acting on favors owed,
now dedicated to this new road.

...

You don't suck."

Edited 2020-06-24 05:58 (UTC)

Though you are not the same,
my trust is yours to claim.
Trustworthy and kind,
to which you may be blind.
I hope someday to show,
to you that which I know,
On you, may I depend,
and perhaps become a friend."

"Your name isn't Katai!
It's Dazai!
I didn't choose you,
but I suppose I'll make do.

You're okay."

"Bright lights, great frights,
A world unknown, to which I was thrown.

Right as I began to fear it,
I found a kindred spirit.

Perhaps too soon, I trust your tune,
I may be scared, but us two paired,
Makes every confusion, less a seclusion."

Edited 2020-06-24 00:43 (UTC)

"I heard you tried to kill
with a murder book.
A strange use of your skill,
that I will overlook.

But when it comes to love,
that we cannot be free of,

You're still doing it wrong."

Early in the Event

[So it was true: The end of the month would, indeed, be hell. Before even settling into her new ostella problems and even before her apartment was taken by dragons, Lucy had decided to seek Inaba out. She didn't want to rely on the members of ADA: They wouldn't want her if she was needy and useless. But Inaba? Inaba had already seen Lucy vulnerable and confused, but stuck around anyway.

So she would take a gamble on Inaba.

She sent Inaba a text and asked if they could meet half-way. As she reached their meeting point, a convenience store, Lucy felt her rising anxiety setting in. The air was filled with dragons and her own cheeks were flushed with heat, but not the heat of running there.]

If I've caught a fever on top of everything, I'm going to be pissed. [Muttering under her brath. Then, raising a hand and her voice towards Inaba.] Hey! You got any idea what's going on?

LET ME IN.

▶ WHO: Lucy M. Montgomery + OPEN
▶ WHAT: Part Intro, Part Ostella
▶ WHEN: June Event
▶ WHERE: All Over
▶ WARNINGS: N/A.

(A) Hiring??? (pre-event)

[To keep sane, Lucy quickly made herself a to-do list. It was rigid and boring; the perfect antidote to panic. She insisted upon writing on paper as she wandered the neon lit city, marking potential jobs on her colourful stationary.]

Perhaps a cafe job would be enough? [She stands outside a cafe, debating the merits of submitting an application. It isn't as if she can claim to be any good at brewing coffee. She let the Manager do that at her workplace back home. He and his wife were so kind to hire her, even when she barely had any skills to offer...

The sentimental thought of them puts Lucy in a bad mood. So she swings around to the nearest person and points rudely;]

You. You know anywhere that's hiring around here? Spill. I don't have all day.

(B) Local Tsundere Evicted by Dragons (event)

[When she opened the door to her apartment, Lucy was met by a protective roar and a wall of flames. Luckily for Lucy, her ability is an escape ability; She vanishes from the hallway and away from the flames. Then reappears outside of the apartment, as if she had teleported. She is briefly bewildered by what just happened.]

Was that... a dragon in my apartment? [Lucy asks the air. Then, with a stomp, she pivots towards the buildings' entrance.] That's not allowed! Where the hell am I supposed to stay?

Damn dragon! If I can just get it to Anne's Room, then I can teach it a lesson! [May a voice of reason speak up before Lucy tries to fight a dragon?]

(C) Can't run anymore

[She wanted to ignore it. Ever since Lucy caught on to why she felt this way, she had done everything she could think of to ignore it. Job hunting, cleaning her apartment (until it became a nest,) shopping, and, of course, hiding in Anne's Room. But her secret space drains chroma. Before long, Lucy has exhausted herself both mentally, physically, and of any chroma. Dazed, all she can think of is finding someone to touch her. She's even caught herself imagining what a moonlaced kiss might feel like.

She's also very tired. Sitting on a bench and watching the dragons fly overhead, Lucy can no longer fight her ostella cravings. Occasionally, as she sees someone pass by, she will hum desperately for attention.]

Hey. Come over here. [Lucy holds out her hand. Too tired for tsundere antics.] Help me.

(D) High Expectations Ruined (Neuhr Ellysti)

[Lucy's motivations come from three angles; The dragon plush prize, the promise of a roof over her head, and excavating ruins sounds really exciting??? She's not even bothering to filter her excitement, her expectations too high to be tamed. Lucy has a skip to her step and an ostella's hum as she looks around. Still needy and desperate for attention, she will approach astellas for company; strangers and friends alike!
(D-A) The legend of Lyestella’s battle
[Perhaps it seems out of character, given her fancy dress and outer appearance, but Lucy finds the stone carvings to be absolutely fascinating. She likes to view them as she would art or poetry; Imagining her own romantic spin on what's given to her. With an unfiltered smile, rare for Lucy, she turns to her new companion.]

What do you think it means, hm? What's the story behind that? [She points at the carving,] It must be an important tale if someone put it in stone~! Maybe a love story.

(D-B) Digging for TREASURE!
[She's on her hands and knees, working hard for that hotel room. With her room taken over by dragons, Lucy kind of needs it. But while digging for treasure seemed like a romantic adventure in storybooks, it is backbreaking work in reality. Lucy wonders if it's fortunate that her hands are already scarred and hardened by years of manual labor.

Eventually she unearths something: Something that looks like a piece of white bone. Her expression lights up and she grins widely.]

There! Hotel room, here I come! [Her excitement is tempered when she senses someone behind her.

Without turning to check who it is, Lucy growls a warning;] This is my artifact. Get your own.

(E) Wildcard!
