» OPTION A - CHRISTMAS TREE ENTS «
[Walking, giant trees...is something he's seen and fought before so even though they are clearly peaceful, the idea of maybe trying to get into a fight with one comes to mind.... But he's going to be on good behavior and help with the decorating instead. Plucking off one of the strange egg shaped ornaments, he can't help but turn it in his hand curiously.]
So... We sure nothing is going to come out of these things? What would happen if I tried to boil it? Or maybe cut it...
[The tree ent overhears this and starts shaking its branches in displeasure, and the egg also starts making a weird sound that's something like alarm, so he quickly tries to retract.]
I'm not, I'm not, don't worry.
[...Said with a gaze that he's still thinking about it.
Anyway, after hanging one he takes some of that holly leaf garland and looks at whoever's house he happens to be at.]
So where should I hang this? I can climb up to the very top of the tree if you want it.

» OPTION B: GIFTING SWORDS «
[Not real ones.
Rokurou can be found sitting on the ground with a pile of small wooden swords scattered about him. They all have different shape and design, and while he can't create the swords from scratch, he's at least developed his dreamotion ability enough that when he holds a plain wooden sword, he can channel an idea and emotion to produce something actually tasteful. From simple symbols down the blade to adding a bit of color to the hilt. Since these are essentially "toy" swords he's not going too far out, but it would make any young swordsman like it better than a plain one.
Holding one up and pleased by the simple yet elegant black lines curving around the hilt, he voices his thoughts allowed.]
Heh, any kid will like this. But I wonder if I should try altering the shape next... These are all simple wooden practice swords, but what if I tried to make them different like curved blades or different knives and daggers? That would make me one step closer in creating my own swords, right?
[Or so he hopes and he just hums as he continues.
By the way, the number of swords around him are likely nearing a hundred someone please stop him.]

» OPTION C: ICE FISHING «
[Fishing is another one of Rokurou's pasttimes and he is quick to set out to try his luck at the lake. After finding a spot and cutting through the ice, he sets his pole in place and sits, a cup of sake in hand.
However, instead of a nice relaxing day of fishing, he has to drop everything and hop up when the line suddenly reels out and the pole threatens to break as it bends towards the water]
Whoa—!
[Good thing he set up a brace as he drops to his knees and tries to pull the pole back while reeling the line in. Even so, he just grins.]
Heh, don't think I'll let you get away!
[Oh he's definitely fired up!!! ...Which may not actually be a good thing as he's on ice and usually his high spirited emotions tend to raise up the temperature. Even now, steam is starting to rise up from the ice's surface.]

» OPTION D: GUMDROPS «
[It can happen anywhere. In town, out in the fields, at the lake when he's fishing—wherever it is the gumdrop will strike and now Rokurou and his unfortunate partner must find a way out of it.
Fluff and Mistlefoe are preferred, though will do shippy ones with those who ask!]

» OPTION E: WILDCARD «
[This guy can do a lot of things so open to other quests on the Dream Board! Find (and fight) some noctaere for the Anti-Noctaere Research, help cut out some giant slabs of gingerbread for the Gingerbread House, help out the Coal Mining. Feel free to hit me via PM, discord, or ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
laenavesse!]
gumdrops >:)
Either way, she's on her way out of Dreambucks with a warm drink, at least out of the door and not in the way of their business when...]
Oh! Rokurou!
[There is a Rokurou in her path. She waves and smiles, not knowing what the gumdrops have in store for them...]
kufufufu
Rokurou had just finished dropping off his first (yes first) load of toy swords when he hears his name and looks up to see Serah. With a grin he waves.]
Hey, Serah, out for a drink?
[Nonalcoholic clearly.]
no subject
...sometimes. Maybe.
But of course it's non-alcoholic!!!! She can add something later if she wants, but for now... just a regular, warm coffee to make the snow and yuck not so bad here.]
Yep! If I knew I'd run into you, I would have grabbed you one too. What brings you out here?
no subject
Nah it's fine. Doubt they have anything that'd interest me. [Small pause.] Maybe cider. [More likely to have, maybe??]
But just dropped off a bunch of toy swords I made to help with the giftmaking quest.
no subject
[Because that is a very Rokurou thing to do here.]
And they might have cider? I didn't really check, but you never know! Maybe some spiced apple cider, but you may have to add your own alcohol into it.
[Just gonna get closer here, nothing will happen, right? Of course not. Nothing will happen in this place, just a nice chat with Roku.
....:)]
no subject
[For now.]
So I might head in, see what they have. If I have to add my own, won't be a problem. Just got a good haul from my Secret Santa. [A very happy grin with the memory that then turns a little a teasing as he looks at her.]
Care to join me?
[He's joking of course; though he wouldn't be surprised if she accepted, he doesn't hold any real expectations.
Just like how neither of them are going to be expecting a little red creature peering at them from nearby going fufufufufu.]
no subject
[Even if she's walking in with a snacc next to her huehue]
You'd probably like a good, strong coffee, I'd think.
[A small red creature who wants them to fight? Say it ain't so!
She'll fight him >:)]Too bad your coffee can't fight you to show you it's good enough to drink though, huh?
no subject
I don't drink coffee that often, but you're right I'd prefer it strong. But a coffee that could fight...that would be something, haha!
[Speaking of fighting, unbeknownst to the two, something pink suddenly flew by and knocked into the red one, stopping it from proceeding further.]
no subject
[...that would be really odd but you know there's someone out there that would dream it up. The loser is who loses all of the coffee out of the cup. Would it even sell though?!
Serah laughs at the idea though, because it is kinda funny to think of.]
Hm, black coffee to be flavoured by some alcohol... that way you're getting the best of both worlds, maybe?
[Look that pink gumdrop wants them to kiss. Could they fight and then kiss? Probably, but they could also kiss and then fight. Or whatever may be aggressive. WHO KNOWS. Once it's in range of the two of them, it strikes. Serah is an easy target since she's already got the dokis for Rokurou, but Rokurou? Oh no, he gets shot through the heart by a pang of something as they make their way into the cafe, and it pops out towiggle its arms at them.]
...uh... [No.... no!!!!] Are... you okay, Roku? It didn't do anything weird to you, did it?
no subject
[If she hears about drink matches, she'll know who to blame. Herself. For putting this idea in his head.
And before he can answer about coffee with alcohol, something suddenly pierces his chest and he staggers forward in surprise. But as he quickly puts a hand to where he was hit, he...doesn't feel anything? And he just sees this weird pink slug waving at him...??]
Uh... I'm not...sure...?
[At first he doesn't feel much of anything, but when he looks up to Serah, he is feeling all kinds of weird.]
no subject
[Gonna... look him over, make sure he's okay.]
What even hit you? It doesn't look like it made you bleed or anything.
no subject
[Okay, sure, he may not be the smartest most eloquent crayon in the box, but he can usually speak properly. So then why...when he looks at Serah he's having trouble forming simple words??]
—No, no, I'm fine!
[He finally manages, but he has to avert his eyes because the only reason why he could find the ability to speak again is because he realized he had been staring at her lips and how they move. Bad, very bad.]
Not sure what hit me, either, but I don't feel like I was wounded.
no subject
Well, as long as it didn't hurt you. I'm glad. That would be the worst, getting hit by something that hurts you as soon as I talk you into coffee to add to your alcohol here.
[He'd never trust the café again, that would be the worst outcome.]
no subject
...Was it that thing that hit him?]
Ah ha ha... Yeah, it's not like you have Eizen's curse.
[Awkward. This is so awkward. Might be better if he leaves first.]
But I think I'll pass on the coffee for now. I should...
[...? .....?????????
He tries to step away, but he only manages one step before he feels he can't go any further.]
What the...
no subject
...
She's seen this before, hasn't she? Serah begins to look around, on the ceiling, the floor, anywhere near them for mistletoe, but there's none to be found. Hmm.]
Is it mistletoe...? No, I don't see any...
[So she's just going to uh. Grab on to his hand and try to pull him??]
no subject
Whoa, wait, Serah—!
[Annnnnd now he can't move away from her.
WHAT IS GOING ON and why does he feel weird.]
no subject
Uhh—
[Gonna... try to let go of his hands but she can't?! What in Etro's name—]
I thought there might be mistletoe or something near us since in Verens it makes people stick to one place but... [?????? THIS AIN'T IT, CHIEF, it's not mistletoe.] I don't see any that would make that effect—
[Pausing, she catches sight of something pink and cute on his shoulder before it grins at her and ducks behind his hair to staaaaaare. Grinning? WHY IS IT GRINNING..... why does she have a bad feeling about this?]
no subject
[...Why did he glance her way when he said "kiss," dammit. And why is she blushing why is it kind of cute—!? But her uneasy expression helps break his thoughts as he tries to glance over his shoulder where she had been looking.]
...What? Did you see something?
no subject
[She catches sight of the gumdrop slug who now has two little ragdolls(???) and is... making them kiss, but...]
I-it's... something on your shoulder, maybe what got us stuck here. [the gumdrop nods enthusiastically, definitely making a NOW KISS motion with a mischievous little chuckle. Serah is definitely now more pink than her hair, thanks gumdrop.] It... wants us to...
[SHE CAN'T SAY IT.]
no subject
What the—a flying pink slug? Is that's what making me feel like—
[Her words echo in his mind and now it all finally clicks.]
....Ah. I see...
[WELL THEN. While not flushing, he does feel a bit awkward.]
You know we don't have to.
[Oh that gumdrop looks displeased, but he really isn't keen on forcing something onto Serah especially when she's, you know, spoken for.]
no subject
Hnnngh.]
No, it— it's fine. It's not saying how we should... you know...
[...
Just gonna. Turn her cheek to him and taps it.]
I'll do the same for you, but maybe this will be enough?
[If not on his side, her side for Rokurou would likely be enough for the gumdrop who is watching, eyes narrowed, to see if it can at least get this from them, like a ravenous little shipper.]
no subject
All right, this shouldn't be too hard.
[Even if he...still feels a bit weird about it. But it's only because he's thinking too much! And that's not something he should be doing so he just clears his head, takes a breath and—ah damn he has hold her shoulders because she is so short why is she so short— There's another brief hesitation before he leans in for a quick peck on the cheek.
...
.....
Yeah that's not so bad.
But the gumdrop doesn't seem that thrilled given all the lack of emotion from his end.]
no subject
...thoughts for later, as she sees how unhappy this gumdrop slug looks at the lack of fuwa fuwa doki doki feelings and emotions that are happening. She certainly has her work cut out for her, doesn't she?]
See? That wasn't too bad. Your turn.
[With him, though, she'll treat him as if he were the Rokurou from Verens. The air around them gets warmer for a moment when she reaches up to cup one of his cheeks in her palm, planting a soft peck to his daemonized side once she's pulled him in before releasing him.
But was that enough for this gumdrop who was building a ship to sail?!]
no subject
But alas—]
...The slug still looks unhappy.
[—a chance glance at the gumdrop just shows a giant pout. It did get some nice fuzzy warm feelings from Serah, but... It's not enough!!!]
no subject
[There's a smile when she says that, trying to placate him. It's not as if she's... doing something with someone not Rokurou, it's Rokurou just... one that has no memory of her. But that would make things more awkward, probably. So, she looks at the slug, frowning.]
So what is it you want us to do? You probably got enough from me, do you need something from Roku, too?
