twelfth shot ⊗ semi-closed ⊗ recovery

Who: Eustace, Tifa, and anyone who wants to check in on them
Which: Semi-closed log (backdated/set for early September before upcoming events)
Where: Set locations
What: It's been a rough few days/weeks since Eustace turned noctaere back at the end of August, but he and Tifa have been recovering. They've been mostly keeping to themselves as they work through things, but they've eventually come out a little more often, if often found together. But there are times Eustace can be found on his own should anyone want to meet with him for a little bit. Note: Although this is mostly a consolidated post for people involved in the plot to check in on Eustace and Tifa, the first prompt is open for anyone who wants to meet Eustace for whatever reason!
Warnings: References to the trauma experienced in threads with those who were involved, but otherwise shouldn't be too much.

⊗ a: open - eustace
[It took...a lot longer than he would have liked, but by the time he finally feels ready and comfortable in leaving Tifa alone (be it with the other dogs or other friends), he's at least more like his usual self. It's still difficult to shake some of those fears that linger, but as much as he'd rather just stay home and keep themselves, they have to move forward.

So Eustace can be found sometimes out in town, usually with a white wolf or a corgi at his side. Often times it's for a grocery or some kind of errand run, but he'll sometimes look at the board. He doesn't quite have time or the will to go out just yet, but it doesn't hurt to keep tabs on what's going on, like noticing the decorations for the upcoming Faire or noting the new faces that have arrived.

And then on some days... Eustace can be found in the Bark 'N Play dog park with a few other dogs, but there's one he's particularly focused on.]


...Come here, Bri...

[He's kneeling on the grass, a hand with her favorite flower cookie treats held out to her. But the poor darling just whines. It's clear she wants to go to him, but she instead shy and runs away, leaving Eustace to sigh and run a hand through his hair.]

...Dammit.

[Ignore the small rain clouds rolling in.]


⊗ b. closed - eustifa visits
[For those seeking out the couple, one place they could be found is their home. It's not that well known as neither really ever invited people to it, but for anyone searching for them, they could get a little help by any of the dogs to lead them to it. Their tree has taken some hits after the first few nights, their once luscious branches looking a bit weathered and less full. Streaks of black and a hint of frost still linger on the wood in the deepest, darkest shadows, but overall the tree is flourishing. There are fresh new star flowers blooming along the ground and along a few branches, and other flowers are more vibrant than others.

And to confirm their location, their names are on a plaque by the door. A small black cat may also be outside, hopping down from her perch to greet anyone who comes by. A simple knock will be enough to send a bunch of dogs barking that would alert anyone of their presence. Seriously, who needs a doorbell when you have dogs?

If by some chance there is no response at the house, not even a bark, then it means the family has gone out. There are a few options for that: a general walk around the neighborhood, the Bark 'N Play dog park, and the Corgi Tree. One just has to listen to the barking to find them.]

[At this point, Beat raises his voice as he looks straight at Eustace.]

I ain't forcin' nothing, yo! If I had a problem with it I woulda told ya straight up.

You an' me is aight, got it?

[And just to drive his point further, he shoves Eustace. Maybe a little harder than he actually intended.]
stillarhino: (31 ☠ that they put on us)

Same thing for Princess here. She's already warmin' up to ya, ain't ya?

[Bri looks towards Beat from under Eustace's hand petting her. She pants and gives him a small bark then back at Eustace as if telling him to straighten the flower crown that had tilted to the side from the scritches.]

You and hers gonna be aight.
stillarhino: (16 ☠ let's start again)

I gotchu, yo. Both you an' Teef.

[He balls his hand into a fist and lifts it towards Eustace for a fist bump.]

I think me and Sonic's gonna go one more round. How's that sound, bud?

[He turns to look at the red-furred corgi. Idris barks at that, still full of energy after having sat around for longer than he would like. Beat laughs with that, almost as if he understood exactly what the dog had meant.]

You and Princess wanna tag along, Wolfie?
