[ mission 01. 🔥 open. ]
Who: Daylight and You!
When: Through March 07 and the rest of the month of March.
Where: Around the city. Will be noted in the prompts below.
What: Daylight being a busy bee throughout the month. The results of said busy beeing may vary. (An influence job log the Loren's Lament, A Somber Affair, Dark Knights jobs. Plus a special assignment.)
Warnings: Possible depictions of violence.
PROMPT I.
[ though daylight had moved out of the queen's residence, he sometimes likes to stop by and see what's going on. mostly because some of the folks he likes still lived here and it was a guaranteed place for him to find them if he's unsure of their current location.
it didn't hurt that majority of the residence was largely available to the public and folks were encouraged to drop by and see others. in the wake of learning that someone in the residence needed help with some paperwork, daylight thought maybe he could help out. maybe all that training under dialup through data management can finally come into use.
but, after remembering how everyone reacted to him when he first entered the dining hall, daylight made it a point to travel to the residence in his avaform in order to avoid arousing interest/suspicion/threats/etc from others. can never be too careful.
he makes a turn around a hallway when he accidentally smacks into someone. he stumbles back, letting out a little 'whoa!' in surprise as his avaform ripples and digitizes for a second, trying to keep its form together before he snaps back into proper appearance of a charming young man with dark hair and darker eyes. ]
Oh! Hey! Sorry to bump into you like that. I was kind of distracted there. [ daylight smiles and can only hope to the venerated thirteen that it is a proper smile and not, like a grimace or something.
and before it can be asked: anyone who has spoken with daylight can tell that this is him due to his voice. yes. daylight. the giant robot who happens to come in the obvious red-and-gold paintjob. that daylight. ]
[ ooc; for the lorem's lament job! open to everyone. ]
PROMPT II.
[ the old town bazaar has been through a lot in the last two months and even daylight can tell when he makes his way through it. there were some buildings still showed signs of damage from fires and riots. there was graffiti here and there, calling for this or that to be stopped at all costs. there were people now suspicious of everything and everyone around them.
especially if one of those 'everyone' happens to be a plus ten feet tall mechanoid.
daylight does his best to keep his helm held high when he passes by folks who stare at him. long as he minds his business and they mind their business, they can get through the day without any problems for anyone and oh hey. is that a lady on the ground ahead of him? though her back is turned to him, daylight can hear her sniffles and her breathless self-encouragement about no one forgetting her mother.
that plucks at daylight's core easily enough and he trots over to her side, not really thinking about the consequences yet. ]
Hey... Hey, miss, I heard you and, um, do you need any hel-
[ the curious woman turns to his voice and, upon seeing him, screams.
a flinching daylight reels back, optics wide and blooming light. he tries (and fails) to keep the girl calm, waving his servos back and forth desperately to try and get her to stop screaming (and now sobbing) at the top of her lungs. ]
Oh no! [ oh no! ] Oh no! Please! Let me explain, miss! I only want to help you out...!
[ it doesn't look like she's hearing him out. she falls to her knees, hands covering her face as she huddles protectively next to the plant she was digging at seconds ago, letting all her emotions out there in broad daylight.
it looks like the stress of losing her mother and the other events that have occurred has caused the young lady to finally tip over at the slightest provocation. and, unfortunately for him, it seems that daylight is that slight provocation.
daylight stands there like a deer caught in headlights, servos hovering over her form since he both wants to pat and rub her back and pull away and leave her be. hopefully someone can help. otherwise some of the more twitchy looking blood may decide to take matters into their own hands. ]
[ ooc; for the a somber affair job! open to everyone. ]
PROMPT III.
[ there were a lot of folks from the river north were disappearing during the night and it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together when you consider the bodies that are found the next morning.
daylight, upon hearing these troubling events, has taken it upon himself to become an escort of sorts for those who needed to go back to and from the river north during the events for a week straight. it's not much but at least the thugs are less likely to bother someone when they have their own giant friend keeping watch over them.
it just so happens to be a night he's escorting two young men back out of the area when he sees someone in the distance.
immediately daylight is alert and aware of his surroundings. he hides the two men behind him, his winglets flaring out in a subconscious attempt to make himself look big as possible. best to make the first move and make them know he sees them before they see him- ]
Hey! Buddy! You shouldn't be out alone at this hour, buddy! Do you need me to escort you?
[ ooc; for the dark nights job! open to everyone. ]
PROMPT IV.
[ after trying to help out with the spree of murders and assaults happening at the the river north, daylight finds himself being more welcomed in this part of draega. of course there will always be people who still gawk and stare and avoid his optics when he tries to catch his eyes but no one actively tells him to go away. that's nice. that's an improvement.
certainly makes shopping easier here. he's here on a special assignment, trawling through the booths and vendors in search of... something.
so focused he is on the task that he finds himself bumping into someone and bumping into them hard. while he may be able to keep his balance and not fall flat on the ground, there's a chance the poor soul isn't as lucky and, quick as he can, daylight tries to rush to their aid and apologise. even if they didn't fall or not because oh wow this is embarrassing.
what a way to almost end the month: bumping into someone. didn't he already do this at the almost beginning too...? ]
Oh wow! Sorry! I'm so sorry! [ daylight's winglets flutter, revealing how flustered he is by these turn of events. ] I didn't mean to hit you! I swear! Are you okay?
[ ooc; for the special assignment of daylight! open to one to two people only. ]
PROMPT WILDCARD.
[ ooc; want to do something else? feel free to do it here! also, you’re welcome to hit me up/plot with me via my plurk prognostic if there’s something specific you want. ]
When: Through March 07 and the rest of the month of March.
Where: Around the city. Will be noted in the prompts below.
What: Daylight being a busy bee throughout the month. The results of said busy beeing may vary. (An influence job log the Loren's Lament, A Somber Affair, Dark Knights jobs. Plus a special assignment.)

no subject
and what rhus tells him is definitely cool to day. he (and his winglets) certainly perk up, the big guy's expression showing his piqued interest. ]
Really? You're only browsing around the place then? [ he doesn't even bother to hide how happy he is to hear this.
because two words: shopping buddies. it doesn't long for him to ask a question: ] Do you wanna team up and poke around then? From personal experience, I found that this is waaaay more more fun if you have someone to chat and stuff when looking for something.
no subject
Rhus rarely goes shopping for things. He's learned long ago to be self-sufficient, to make what he requires to fulfill several of his needs at the same time, and save on coin as well. And he so rarely shops with someone else-- the last time had been with...
Well, it's a memory he'd rather not revisit.]
Not much of a chatter, I'll warn you now.
no subject
Oh but, um, if I chatter too much or something- Let me know? I'll dial it down if you want me to. [ he rubs the back of his neck, his grin becoming more sheepish at this point.
nightbreak has told him, time and again, that he has a habit of steamrolling others without meaning to when he gets excited. he's trying to get better at it, he is. it sure does help if someone is there to poke his side to remind of his, though. ]
no subject
[Especially when others are willing to chat to fill the spaces, people never had problems doing so around him. Though sometimes they do forget that he listens, rather than simply thinking about something else.]
Tell me what you're lookin' for then, an' we shall see if it is here.
no subject
I'm looking for portable muters! [ at least daylight has the forethought to bend down, comically so, cupping his servo aside his mouth to try and keep the conversation private.
daylight then goes through the messenger bag he's carrying to bring out a device and proudly showing it off to rhus. since it's meant to be small for the average sized human, it is comically tiny in daylight's own palm. being over ten feet tall happens to do that a lot. ]
You've got to promise to keep this on the downlow but-! I'm doing a super secret project with one of the Guilds! [ here, his winglets twitch up and flutter to show how proud he is to be helping one of them out.
he likes to think this is for a good cause and he wants to give it his all. hence coming here to buy more things from out of his pocket. ] I need more of this stuff for my experiments to help it more energy sufficient. In case something... you know... happens.
[ aka 'a thing or lots of things are going to explode.' ]
no subject
He looks up at Daylight, the frown on his face just marring it with lines.]
What in the name o' th' Four Lords is a portable muter? [Well, he assumes what's on Daylight's hand is the device in question but... what does it do?]
no subject
daylight looks at the little device, trying to remember what it’s intended use for and why it's urgent to make it so energy efficient . it takes a bit longer then he’d like to admit but when the lightbulb clicks on, it does so with an audible noise ]- Oh! I remember now.
It’s, um, a thing you can use to stop the magic of the Jewels.
You see the switch here? [ he points to it and he double checks to make sure he didn't turn it on by accident because, again, he's very big. ] You turn it on and the device will strip away the Blood’s power so they can’t summon their Craft or their Jewels’ powers. Apparently it's a thing here in the city for landen to have these in their house.
no subject
But now Rhus is stuck. The Guilds asked Daylight to perform this service for them, and clearly they're preparing for something nasty, something that would hurt the Queen. So he has a dilemma ahead of him. Tell the Queen, or assist Daylight and keep his silence?] ... Well then.
I can see why it's an important task.
... Why's it they need so many?
[He is... well, not the smoothest at the moment. His old training has certainly left him, when he's so confused and still pondering what he should do.]
no subject
[ truth be told, daylight hadn’t gone into too much question asking when agreeing to help the elektric guilds with their projects. he had simply went, 'you guys seem less likely to take me apart for your projects. you're cool.' then let them known he'll help them out.
(really. that's how it went down, more or less.) ]
Apparently this thing? [ he hefts up the muter for emphasis. ] The bigger versions of this are installed in home of landen. That way everyone is on the same playing field if one in the house is a Blood and someone is not and stuff like that.
But with so many houses burned down and all, I guess it won't be easy to buy those. So they're trying to... make this more affordable and more enticing to get...? That's my theory.
[ not the best theory he has but it's a theory and one that implies that this is meant to be a good thing for everyone. daylight doesn’t think there’ll be anything malevolent done with this project. he sees it simply as an advancement of technology.
(then again, daylight didn’t think a friend of his would try to kill him by literally shrinking his core until it collapsed upon itself so there you go. he doesn't even seem to register rhus' concern with what he's doing, judging by how chirpy and earnest he still is. though it has been dampened by the concern he has for the landen now that he’s reminded of what happened. ]
no subject
... Right. So they need as many as they can get. [Except Rhus sees yet another issue with the entire thing.] Though... Why buy from merchants only for them to resell at a cheaper price?
That's losin' them money they may need for other things.
no subject
[ oh! he holds up his servos, waving them back and forth. ] Oh! Oh no! Sorry but I think there's a miscommunication between us.
Umm- [ let him try this again.
once more, with clarity: ] To make it clearer, I'm buying the muters and only me. I need backups for my experiments since I have an idea how to make the existing model more energy efficient. Without having to remake the whole thing and stuff! I need a lot because... [ ...
....
...... oh geeze.
he rubs the back of his neck now, looking around to make sure not that many people are gawking at him. well- people are always going to be gawking at him when he's not in avaform but he wants to make sure they're not actively eavesdropping on this.
he's satisfied that they're trying to politely ignore him but he still feels sheepish as he answers rhus, ] I need a lot because they keep exploding when I try to do my experiment. I don't want to keep going back to the guilds to ask for theirs since, like, that'll be way too expensive for them.
no subject
Oh. [Rhus' ears wiggle.] Hells, from the sounds of things, I thought it were somethin' entirely.
Ah, well, least you weren't doin' some experiment what were entirely strange. [Even if the idea of dampeners is still alarming for Rhus in some way. But at least he doesn't have to tell the Queen now.]
no subject
It kind of sounds ominous and suspicious, right?
But, like, I promise it isn't something dangerous or anything. I'm just trying to make something more cost friendly to the people. [ it's not like the guilds can make this dangerous, in his opinion. it's only meant to be used in small households or when someone is travelling somewhere kind of dangerous. there's no way that could go wrong!
with that finally settled- ] So! I'm looking for this and could use some help in grabbing many as I can. It's going to be a while before I prefect it sooo-
[ he's going to need a lot. rip, day's allowance. ]
no subject
So you'll be spendin' a good amount in coin for your experimentation... [As one is wont to do. Not just in buying the devices themselves, but also in other materials. As a crafter, Rhus knows this well.
You have to spend money to make more... Except Daylight isn't doing this for the money, which makes the situation all the more awkward, to say the least.] Is your purse ready for that?
You'll not be spendin' on just those muters, you know.
no subject
so when rhus makes his observations and asks him the important question of whether or not he can afford what he needs, daylight puffs out his chassis and his winglets wiggle in a clear display of pride. ]
I've been saving up, yeah! It helps that Guilds are willing to give me lodgings and stuff, so I don't have to worry about too many, um, finance worries.
Plus- I think the merchants here will be willing to give me a discount or give me a chance to haggle. [ since helping them in the past, they've been pretty nice to him. kind of. they don't stare at him with suspicion anymore. ] So- Ready to go? The sunlight's burning as we speak!
no subject
Aye, fine. From experience the brighter and earlier in the day, the less surly merchants tend to be. [Though it also tends to depend on location, Rhus supposes. Ishgardian merchants preferred to be quick about their business, given how painfully cold their city could be, and Ul'dahn ones tended to sit on the ground without a care in the world and let their customers come to them.]
Lead the way.
