Catch-All

Who: Fat Billie ([personal profile] 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.

[ Orpheus just nods, seeing absolutely nothing wrong with that. Argonaut is undeniably friend-shaped, it's true. ]

I do! Oh, you must be his son! He's mentioned you to me before.

[ Only in passing, really, but enough that Orpheus knows his name. ]

[ The question gets a bit of a grimace out of Orpheus, too bad at not wearing his heart on his sleeve to manage to cover up his unease in time. So that's a pretty definitive 'not really,' even as he swallows it back down and forces a smile and says; ]

I'm better! [ And he does mean it. He is! It's just that the bar was set very low. ] Thank you for asking. It was, um, really difficult, but it's over now. Is Vyng doing all right, though?

[ His memories of the incident are sort of fuzzy, but he's pretty sure Vyng had a bit of a rough time during all of that as well. ]
