» 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 laenavesse!]

Comments

[rokubro]

[At first he doesn't feel too much beyond that bit of awkward embarrassment in having to kiss an engaged woman, but when he pulls back and sees all those flowers burst around her along with her own expression—

That's when he feels that strange thump of his heart, an odd ripple in the air as he stares at her a little dumbfounded. Perhaps there could have been more, but the gumdrop is going to have to cut him some slack—feeling emotions is a bit difficult for him at the moment! But there was definitely something there, and there's a little bit of the "warm fuzzies" coming from him.

And when he realizes he's staring, he hastily pulls back even farther, clearing his throat as he glances away to the side, suddenly self-conscious.]

Hopefully that'll, uh, do it.

[It's fine, it's fine, as long as he doesn't resent him or something it's fine!!

And the gumdrop...would have liked more, but given that at least something finally appeared and Serah clearing giving enough fuwa fuwa feelings for the both of them, it finally accepts the "tribute." With a "wheee!" it circles around them, nomming on that delicious emotion energy before it finally frees them from that binding spell and floats merrily away to try and capture more unsuspecting couples.]

[mooglebow]

[Don't worry she's already practically your wife.

...just from another world. It's fine. It's all fine. There's a laugh as he pulls back and seeming to be flustered. Gosh he's cute, even here! Seeing the slug let out a cheer, circle around them eating up all of the flowers and warm fuzzy fuwa fuwa doki doki feelings.]

Looks like you're saved from having to feel too much, Roku. Sorry I got you trapped here with me, but you're definitely not the worst person to be trapped with.

[rokubro]

I still think you're being way too relaxed about this...

[Seriously, he just can't really wrap his head around how...chill she is about all this?? But, well, probably better than her being so repulsively offended. And he's not even going to think about that weird feeling from before. Just didn't happen nope.]

And I hate to uh, kiss and run, but we should probably head inside or something before another one of those come back.

[mooglebow]

[... :) hard not to be chill when she's basically kissin someone she's already with!!!]

Don't worry too much about it. But... yeah, I don't really want to get stuck by another one— that might be a little too weird if that happens.

[At least it wasn't mistletoe. This time.]

Though maybe we should hold off on coffee with alcohol for you until they're gone, huh...? I don't need them popping up in your drink or something either.

[rokubro]

[...Pft. Okay. Despite the situation he couldn't help but laugh at that image of one of those slug things just poking its head out of a steaming hot coffee going, "Hello!! GIVE ME LOVE!"]

Hah, fair enough. Rain check on that coffee then? Just be careful you don't get caught with someone else.
