TDM Overflow for Noctium

[socialworker]

ALL THAT GLITTERS 1;

[ he's going through the motions, really. he's been on the other side of this equation enough times that this whole process seems familiar. even though noctium may be a strange new place with strange things going on, it's... a strange comfort to see that bureaucracy stays the same no matter what. that doesn't mean he has to like it. there were more questions he wanted to ask aurora nyx, but he was escorted out before he could. his face takes on an annoyed look the minute the door is closed on him. ]

Tch... Hopefully someone else got more answers.

ALL THAT GLITTLERS 2;

[ it's time to explore the new surroundings and everything going on here. shirou's main goal is to learn his way around the city as quickly as possible, but he won't stop himself from learning about the city and it's people. he's stopped in front of a street performance, watching this one-man band play several instruments. He tilts his head to look at another performer just down the street. ]

Lively, isn't it?

WILDCARD;

[ feel free to him with whatever you want! unless noted otherwise, shirou is going to be in his human form, but wolf form is definitely available to anyone who wants that! if you want to plot something more specific, hit me up on plurk at lycanroc or on discord at wolf#7836 ]

[beastmanitis]

Huh.

[Michiru's hand un-stretches back into place, and she crosses her arms, looking Shirou over as if she has any sort of clinical awareness that could diagnose his issue.]

So you lost your super-sniffing, huh?

Do beastmen ever get allergies?

[socialworker]

We get sick, just like anyone else.

[ he runs a hand across his face in annoyance at the situation, not at her.

or well, not yet, at least ]

I can tell where you came from, but not more than that. [ not if you touched something, what you did with it, nothing ]

[beastmanitis]

Hmm...

[She rubs her chin, further inspecting Shirou, before deciding; ]

Well, I can't say I'm mad about you not knowing every single move I make, but it is pretty weird.

You don't think it has anything to do with the weird crystals, do you?

[socialworker]

[ It's strange, having been able to do it for much longer than Michiru has been around. But he makes a face at that comment, excuse he only did it when investigating. ]

Probably. [ he raises a hand to gently tap at the crystal on his chest ] Maybe it's limiting them a bit.

[beastmanitis]

Huh. I guess that could be it. I wonder why...

[She crosses her arms again, but shakes her head.]

I'm sorry. It's probably a lot weirder for you than it is for me. I've only had these powers— well, I only learned I even had them once we met.

[She understands that for someone as old as Shirou, it probably feels a lot different.]

But... at least it doesn't seem we're too unwelcome here. Maybe it'll be fine.

[socialworker]

Hm... it's familiar isn't it?

[ looking around at everything and then looking at her ]

A city with a sudden influx of refugees.

[beastmanitis]

Huh. You're right.

[crossing her arms, she gives shirou a sly smile.]

But now you're on the other side of the equation for once.

[clearly, he must know how she felt now!!]
