gift giving, mostly for cr but open for all

[as a warmblood mob begins having the urge to give gifts. in truth this is seamless, easily picked up by his general wish to show appreciation for the people who have made this difficult situation better. it's one of the most valuable lessons he's learned, that he should be grateful for the people in his life, the ones who helped him grow and change. especially here, where it would have been easy to be alone.

so! gifts. anyone mob has cr with is fair game. if he'd know where they live he might leave them in their mailbox, at their door. it often won't come with any note but if it does it will be something simple, like 'i hope you like this' signed with his name.

he might seek the person out, bundled up in a sweater, jacket, scarf, gloves, muffled when he holds it out and says,]
Here.

[anyone he met could get this treatment. people he hasn't met yet? also possible, if maybe they're sitting alone or just give off any air of being down. please feel free to bend the situation to anything needed.

the sort of things he might give away:
- any cool rock he just found, especially shiny ones
- any cool sea shell he found, again bonus points for shiny
- a little plant in a little pot, usually something simple that could be found around, herb or flower or fern
- a misshapen bonsai. he's still learning, okay
- scarves or mitten gloves, usually very ugly and bulky
- any of the chocolatier's chocolates. (note, none of the horny/romantics ones eaten around him, but feel free to take it and use it later if you want)
- wildcard of some odd thing he may have found in a shop or on the far shore. a brooch? a gear? etc, sky's the limit go nuts.]



chocolates, open to all

[the chocolatier doesn't seem to bother mob much. most things don't so this isn't surprising. the state of it's soul is a whole can of worms but anyone is free to see him talking to the creature at one point or the other, seemingly nonplussed as he allows it a few drops of his blood and is gifted chocolate in return.

he'll examine one before popping it into his mouth-

if it's caramel he'll blink, and the first person he sees he'll just... start following. this gives the mixed impression of being imprinted on by a baby duck but also one of those spooky, quiet kids you don't hear coming and is just there when you turn around.

does it look like there's snow in your way? he quickly lifts a hand to push it out of the way with a burst of telekinesis. shivering? have his scarf, his hat, his jacket. when addressed at all he'll just blink and say,]
Is something wrong? Can I help?

[have fun.]


[if it's strawberry a muted grey will start oozing from him, not unlike paint in water. everything about it is subdued, smells around the area vanish to nothing when too close, sounds softening. he doesn't seem to register it, goes about his day.

maybe he'll be found stopping to look up at some batcats on the roof of a random house in crenshaw, a little flare of golden warmth coming from him before it's sucked up by the grey again.]
They're really cute. [is what he'll placidly inform anyone who stops to look as well.

maybe there will be a beast howl coming from the outskirts of the city by the farther shores, in which that grey will briefly go spiky and dark before muting back to normal. someone nearby will get glanced at.]
We should get away.

[feel free to put any situation you want here as well.]


[if it's peacan everything will seem normal until one of his legs just... gives out. he falls into the snow, blinking, and can now be found just lying off the side of one of the main crenshaw roads.

just looking up at the sky, not particularly alarmed but given snow is starting to accumulate over his body it doesn't look comfortable. in fact he's starting to look pale and shaky from the cold if it's been long enough. if someone checks in he'll look up to them and say,]
The chocolates aren't very nice.

[chocolatier betrayed him.]

Everyone has. [But he doubted Mob's were as bad as his. At least he hadn't literally killed his sibling.

He takes a few moments before he continues, having to focus on breathing in and out to keep himself calm.]


It is, but Mari never seemed to have any problems with piano. Or maybe I just never saw her mistakes because she worked so hard. [Breathe in and out.]

The day before the recital we were practicing and I kept messing up and Mari wasn't understanding why I couldn't do it. I kept trying to tell her but she wasn't listening.

[There are tears beading in his eyes now as he hugs his legs even tighter.]

I wanted to get away. I went up the stairs but she wouldn't leave me alone. She kept yelling at me and all I could do was blame the violin, so I threw it down the stairs. It broke.

[A long pause.] All of my friends and Mari had saved up for it at Christmas time for me. And I smashed it.

[She had pressured him. Even Mari's ghost had admitted she pushed him too hard. (If, indeed, that was actually her ghost and not a grief-induced hallucination. He wanted to imagine he was her, if only so he could pretend she forgave him.)

Sunny doesn't want to say that it's true, though. It felt bad to speak ill about her like that. Like he was blaming her.]


They did. [They got way worse. It was now at the point that Sunny had to try very hard not to shut down. He had to say it. He had to see someone react to it.]

She got even more mad. Couldn't understand why I did it. [He shakes his head.] I just... wanted to get away. I tried to get by her but she wouldn't let me. [Even though he's trying to control his breathing, it's getting heavier.]

She blocked me. So I pushed her.

[He stops, staring forward.]

She fell down the stairs. And died. [He presses his hands against his head, head curling up against his knees.]

I killed her. [His voice is so small.]

[Tears were now flowing freely, unable to be stopped by Sunny's hands that were now trying to cover his eyes. They spilt out despite himself.

He'd done something terrible. So terrible. And that wasn't even the end of things. But he couldn't say it. He could barely breathe. That wasn't only his sin to bear, anyway. That was Basil's too.

The light feeling of fingers brushing against his leg makes him look up, eyes red. For a moment he can only stare, before realizing that Mob's hand was reaching out for his own. He hesitates for a second, before taking it. Squeezing it a little tightly.

He didn't hate him.]


She didn't deserve that. I didn't want it to happen I- [Though it had been an accident, some horrible part of himself always wondered if he'd done it on purpose. That he was truly a monster.] I hurt everyone so much.

[Mob's power hold his hand is comforting. It eases the pain in his chest a little, even though it still hurt. It hurt terribly. This was only the second time he'd admitted this to anyone.]

I-I know. If someone else were telling me this I'd think the same thing. But- [But it's so much harder when it's yourself. Judging yourself comes more naturally than judging others.

He takes a deep, shuddering breath.]
I start to wonder if maybe I actually did it on purpose. If I- if I actually hated her. [Neither of these things are true. He loved Mari very much and never would have done it on purpose.]

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-03-01 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [Sunny's voice is small when he says that. It was so much harder when it was about you. Being cruel to other people felt wrong, but being cruel to yourself?

That almost felt natural.]


No- No, I don't mind you saying how I feel. [He thinks Mob is right, anyway, if he digs past the self hatred to the truth of the matter.] That's- [He hesitates.]

I wouldn't miss her so much if I really hated her, would I? So... you're right.

I really wasn't strong. For a long time I didn't want to think about it at all. I didn't leave my house. I abandoned my friends when they were hurting, too.

[All and all, Sunny was kind of awful. Or at least he thought so. He was trying to think that less, though. Mari would have... would have wanted him to forgive himself, wouldn't she?]
good_mourning: (sad)

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-03-11 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Those were all true. It was hard to deny that he'd come a long way compared to where he'd been.]

That's... true.

There's just a lot I regret about it now. But... I can't go back and change what I did, so I have to do better now.
