[OPEN] Ilda's May Catch-All

[ilda]

Characters: Ilda and YOU (oh, your squids cats bibirus pets are welcome, too)
Date: all throughout May
Location: all over Aifaran
Situation: freaking out over her dying little sister, bibiru sitting, getting mugged by Ban Om priests and persuading them to go away, winning free merch!
Warnings: morbid thoughts, paranoia, some cursing and badmouthing, persuasion powers activating, maybe injured bibirus?



A - THE SPACE PARASITES ARE GETTING SOME EMOTIONAL ENERGY TO FEED ON - dawn of May 3 (open)

[ It's still dark out when Ilda comes running to the Turtle's Head, the last place that has made her feel at peace. But she's not here to watch the sun rise; she's clearly distressed, if her tangled hair and mismatched shoes are any indication. ]

Ingride.

[ The pain in her voice is so raw, you can almost see it. She's had a dream, a very bad dream, the kind of dream that haunts you even when you're wide awake and conscious and trying not to think of the things - people - you've left behind in your world.

She sinks to the ground, and a sob finally breaks through her. ]



B - BIBIRU SITTING... LITERALLY (open)

[ Ilda's found her new favorite spot in Aifaran: the bibiru lady's flat!

If it's not heaven, what else could it be? Bibirus everywhere, all yours to feed and groom and play with... well, okay, not really yours, but it feels like it anyway. All that while getting paid, too. What a job!

She lets herself be overrun by the cute little bunny birds, giggling. Oh oh, this warrants a selfie! ]



C - I HATE CHURCH PEOPLE (Faith 1, open)

I'm sorry, but that's all I have.

[ Great. She's thought giving the priests some money would make them go away, but apparently it doesn't work that way. They now want more, and it's beginning to piss her off. These priests are even worse than the ones in her world! She backs away from them, all while trying to keep her temper in check. She knows, based on experience, that it's not a good idea to piss off the church people. They hold hands and sing songs and talk about peace and mercy, but deep down they're nasty pieces of work.

But she soon finds herself surrounded - the priests suddenly too close, their voices too loud. She remembers her sister, her sick little sister who never deserved any of the things she's going through, and how nobody from the church, not even the queen, could help her---

Something within Ilda snaps. ]

Leave me alone!

[ The Ban Om priests freeze, apparently stunned by her outburst. Or something. Because then they blink, and just... turn around and walk away. ]



D - I DIDN'T UNCONSCIOUSLY SWEET-TALK INNOCENT PEOPLE INTO GIVING ME FREEBIES THIS TIME (Commerce 4, open)

[ Ilda never says no to free stuff (she's into business herself, after all) so when the store owner happily proclaims that she's their lucky one thousandth visitor, she accepts the honor - and the corresponding prize - all too happily. She even takes a bunch of selfies with the proprietor and the store people and the stuff they've given her, promising to post them to Xa Xa when she gets back to her room in the Dreaming Bridge.

It's a lot of stuff, though, and she's just one girl. It's even a little hard to see where she's going, with the huge pile of freebies in her arms. ]



E - WILDCARD (open)

[ Hit me up at notanybunny for a specific starter! :D ]
