Catch-All
Who: Fat Billie (wapples) and you!
What: Open and Closed Prompts
When: Throughout April
Where: Around Trench, and at home
Content Warnings: Will mark threads as necessary
1. Around Town [Open]
[The dark doesn't do much to discourage Billie at all. The perpetual twilight caused by the Coronet in Crystal Bay doesn't seem like it was all that long ago, and this doesn't seem like it should be so different, except for the knowledge that it will likely only last for a month. He might be a small boy, but he's also a thief. He is not afraid of the dark.
Besides, he's even managed to make a new friend, who happens to be a very adorable fluffy looking moth, about the size of a housecat. It's hard to feel too grim or afraid in his comforting presence.
Billie will happily make friends with anyone who is even a little bit nice to him, so of course with Argonaut's trusting nature, the tiny halfling is more than willing to protect him and offer him rides on his back throughout Trench. They're probably quite a pair - The Pthumerian moth peering over the shoulder of a boy in a raccoon skin cape who isn't much bigger than he is, as Billie offers up bites of his croissant.
He greets both Sleepers he knows and strangers with a little wave and a 'hello!' and if he catches someone staring at one of the Moonlit butterflies, he'll try to help pull them away.]
2. Lunch Date [Closed to housemates]
[What else is one to do with their new pal who needs protecting from the dangerous things in the world, but bring them home for lunch? Besides, the tent and the house, as far as Billie is concerned, are both pretty safe places to hang out. The catch is, he's not entirely sure what Argonaut likes to eat, so instead of actually asking, he just tries a variety of foods. Everything from bowls of gravy, raw potatoes, croissants, crackers, and whatever sweets he can lay his hands on. There's the telltale signs of the pair getting into the house pantry as well, as a trail of dropped snacks can be found leading from the kitchen to the kitchen in tent.
Oops.
Billie has even taken it a step further and emptied out a second drawer onto the floor, and moved some of his fluffy bedding into it to share with the giant moth, so he has a place to rest as well. He has their smorgasbord of ill-gotten gains spread out on the counter between them, and is happily munching on a raw potato.]
I bet it's really cool being able to fly anywhere you wanna go.

1. Around Town
she saw Argonaut first. she was rather of mixed feelings about having Argonaut as her patron because she suspected it had something to do with a date which was fast in approach and one she'd rather not relive under any circumstances. but then she notices the cap and recognizes it as Billie, so she hastened her stride to catch up with him]
Hello! It's been a while, are you well?
no subject
Hi! Yeah, we're doing okay. Kinda weird with it being night all the time, but I guess moths like the dark better anyway?
no subject
They certainly seem to. I've had a devil of a time getting them out of my sweater drawer, but I think they've learned their lesson! Mostly that sweaters aren't for nom-noms.
no subject
[It is his month after all, but whether he's out more due to the dark, or due to wanting to bring hope to the Sleepers, Billie has no idea. He glances over his shoulder at the moth.]
Do you hear that? No eating sweaters.
no subject
[she was initially irked that April 14th was her Blessed Day, but it's hard to hold a grudge against a Pthumerian when he's so...darn...cute]
Yes, there has to be something else to eat out there. What do moths eat, anyway? Maybe we can help him find some.
no subject
[Billie has a fondness for nature and animals in general, like many kids. Especially when it's an animal that is especially cute, or cool. That Argonaut seems to need a little help this month triggers him to be particularly protective of the Pthumerian.]
I dunno. I shared my croissant and he kinda liked it, I think? Or maybe he was just really hungry.
no subject
[understandable. she finds it hard to imagine how anyone could not be kind to Argonaut. of course, this place did have a decent number of thoughtless individuals]
Maybe? Croissants are really good. [a pause] Oh, Lord help me, I have no idea what to try feeding him. We could buy a little bit of everything and see what he likes? Except meat, I don't think he'd like that much.
no subject
[It makes sense to him with Argonaut working to try to keep them all safer this month that they should return the favour and try to make sure he survives the month comfortably.]
Yeah, there's really good croissants here! There's a guy who will trade it for beach glass, and it doesn't even have to be the round stuff.
[More than likely, the one of the bakers in the city has seen a tiny child carrying shards of glass and has offered to trade to try to keep him from cutting himself.]
We can try a bunch of stuff, though, sure. We're definitely gonna find something he likes that way, right?
[Hopefully Argonaut is not a picky eater.]
(CW: death)
[she'd heard that Argonaut was fragile. and that he was prone to being killed, though why anyone would be so heartless to do such a thing is beyond her]
Then should we go and pick up some more? I have some beach glass and some shells in a pouch.
[she always comes prepared to trade. not because she was rich once and is used to getting whatever she wanted, it was because she liked this world's way of doing things far better]
Absolutely! Cake if we can find it? But not chocolate, that's probably not good for him. And let's see...maybe we should try to find some fresh fruit?
no subject
[Billie usually has a little stash of things to trade himself, but mostly, when there's something he wants, he goes to the shore first.
Rose points out that chocolate is probably not good for Argonaut, and he glances at the moth over his shoulder, then back to her.]
Well... We could get regular cake for him, but chocolate for us, maybe!
no subject
[that's her first destination, too. plus, it's odd to be so near the sea again so that she can't help seeking it out.
she knows chocolate is bad for dogs? one of the First Class ladies let her prized greyhound get into the chocolate eclairs and the end results were not fit for polite company]
I like the way you think. Now, shall we? Argonaut, are you ready?
no subject
[Argonaut points a little leg in the direction of the beach over Billie's shoulder to show that, yes, he is ready to go adventuring with the pair, and Billie grins and holds his hand out to Rose.]
Let's go!
no subject
[that is one of the cutest things she's ever seen. the other Pthumerians seem awful, but Argonaut is a sweetheart she'd fight to protect]
Yes, let's! Onward to adventure and cake!
